Assessment

Economic Growth Economic growth (Table 1, Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4) over the past three years was broadbased and averaged 6.2 percent – an improvement from the 5.4 percent growth between 2004 and 2009. Looking more closely at the sources of growth, we see the resurgence of the industry, with even higher average growth rate of 7.5 percent from five percent in 2004-2009. This is led by manufacturing which is a proof of the private sector’s dynamism in the region. Services sector has also shown robust growth with banking, transport, and real estate as drivers. The share of the industry sector steadily increased from 32.5 percent in 2010 to 33.8 percent in 2013. This tells us that we are moving in the right direction towards becoming the leading industrial and trade center in this part of the country. On the demand side, most of the growth came from gross capital formation and government consumption expenditure which accounts for about one-fourth of the economy. Household spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy, grew by 6.6 percent on the average over the same reference period.

Government Revenues Government revenues also improved with tax (Table 6) and customs (Table 7) collections recording double digit collection growths since 2010. In 2014, tax receipts increased by 18 percent to PHP 9.6 billion with all sources, except other taxes, registering growths. Cagayan de Oro City contributed much to this growth with a 25 percent increase in collections, year-on-year. It also continues to get the bulk of receipts with 59.2 percent share followed by Iligan City (15.3 percent share). Running after professionals who are not paying taxes correctly, and automation of tax services, among others contributed to the bureau’s favorable performance in the reference year. The annual figure exceeded the Regional Development Plan (RDP) target of PHP 7.3 billion by 2016. Year-on-year, customs collections increased by 21 percent to PHP 8 billion with Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) still cornering the bulk of receipts (84.6 percent share). This exceeded the 2014 target by 2.4 percent, or PHP 188.8 million higher than estimated annual customs takes. The better than targeted collection is attributed to the bureau’s strict policy on demanding importations to be properly described and declared, thus leading to proper valuation of imported goods. Further, with better facilities, speedy release of cargoes has encouraged more importers to transact business, specifically in the ports of CDOC and MCT. These, among others, made the Bureau of Customs (BOC-X) as one of the top collectors among customs offices in the country in 2014.

Chapter 1: Macroeconomic Development

Labor and Employment Employment (Table 5) grew slower than the growth in labor force between 2010 and 2014, thus bringing the jobless rate to 5.8 percent in 2014 from 5.0 percent in 2010. While underemployment rate eased by 2.3 percentage points to 25.7 percent in 2014, it still was the second highest, nationwide, next to Bicol region, and much higher than the national average of 18.4 percent.

Poverty Poverty statistics (Table 8) still refers to the 2012 FIES-based estimates released by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) as FIES is conducted every three (3) years. In 2012, the poverty incidence among population in the region remained at about 39 percent in the last decade amidst its 5.4 percent average annual GDP growth since 2003, and the implementation of direct cash transfers to the poor in recent years. The poverty incidence in the region has always been above the national average and its estimate of 39.5 percent in 2012 is 14.2 percentage points higher than the national average of 25.2 percent. Across Philippine regions, Northern Mindanao ranked as the 7th poorest in 2012 in terms of poverty incidence among population. Across provinces, poverty incidence among population is highest in Camiguin at 53.6 percent, followed by Lanao del Norte at 49.1 percent and Bukidnon at 49.0 percent. The three provinces also ranked among the top poorest provinces in the country in 2012: Camiguin (6th), Lanao del Norte (13th) and Bukidnon (14th). Seven of ten of the poorest municipalities (by poverty incidence among population) in the region in 2012 are in Lanao del Norte. Moreover, six of the ten poorest municipalities in 2009 remained among the 10 poorest municipalities in 2012, all of which recorded higher poverty incidence. Furthermore, the average poverty incidence of the 10 poorest municipalities increased by 6.9 percentage points from 65.1 percent in 2009 to 72.0 percent in 2012. (Table 9) Between 2009 and 2012, poverty incidences tend to have decreased among the coastal municipalities and those close to highly urbanized cities. On the other hand, municipalities farther from the coast and those that borders with ARMM tend to have increased poverty incidence among population. (See attached maps) Poverty gap in 2012 is estimated at 9.9, which is almost double that of the national average. This remained unchanged relative to its 2006 value. Lanao del Norte has the highest poverty gap across provinces in the region in 2012 at 14.0, and ranked 7th highest among the 85 provinces/districts in the country. (Table 10) Northern Mindanao has the 3rd highest poverty severity in 2012 at 4.1, which is more than double that of the national average. Across provinces, Lanao del Norte still has the highest poverty severity at 6.1, and ranked 7th among the 85 provinces in the country. (Table 10)

Income The average annual family income in the region (Table 11) increased from PhP 165 thousand in 2009 to PhP 190 thousand in 2012 based on the Family and Expenditure Survey (FIES) of the PSA3

Regional Development Report 2014 NSO. The difference, which averaged at 5.01 percent increase annually, is found to be statistically significant (α = 0.01) and met the 5.0 percent annual increase target set in the Regional Development Plant 2011-2016. Income distribution or equality, however, remained to be a concern for the region. The PSA-NSO estimated the Gini coefficient of the region at 0.4844 in 2012, lower than in 2000 (0.4860) but higher than in 2006 (0.4806). Moreover, based on the 2012 FIES, the upper 20 percent of the region’s families earned over half (52.1 percent) of the region’s total family income while the lower 20 percent of the region’s families earned only 6.9 percent.

Prices The region experienced a relatively low year-on-year inflation rate in the last quarter of 2014 at 3.3 percent, stabilizing the annual inflation rate of the region at 4.5 percent. (Figure 1). The annual figure is well within the target set by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) of 3.0 – 5.0 percent. Figure 1.

The relatively low inflation rate was brought about by the decrease in the world price of oil which bottomed during the last quarter of 2014. The decline in the global price of oil starting in the early part of the third quarter of 2014 abated the rising prices in the region which peaked in June 2014. Inflation rates continually dropped during the succeeding months and bottomed at 2.5 percent in December 2014. (Table 44)

Regional Development Report 2014

I. Asessment A. Achieving Good Governance Transparent and Accountable Governance Towards instituting transparency in revenue collections and expenditures for a more robust financial climate in local government, DOF-BLGF-X continues on advocating for a transparent and accountable LGUs as envisioned in the Local Government Code by building capacities of local treasurers on the preparation of the electronic Statement of Receipts and Expenditures (eSRE). This is to improve accuracy, consistency and timeliness of national fiscal data reporting, strengthen the capacities of local treasurers to adopt the requirements of the new SRE system, and strengthen the capacities of BLGF offices to effectively provide prompt guidance to local treasurers in implementing the eSRE system. The eSRE keeps LGU revenue and expenditure data, generate forecasts and assess the creditworthiness of LGUs, hence, a good source of local fiscal data and statistics useful in planning and decision-making. It also keeps LGUs compliant with the Full Disclosure Policy as a pre-requisite to obtaining the Seal of Good Housekeeping and hence, shall transform LGUs into financially sustainable and viable institutions. As of the end of 2014, all the five provinces, eight of nine cities and 61 out of 84 municipalities are already fully compliant to the Full Disclosure Policy.

More effective performance of government functions Towards improving the delivery of public services, efforts on streamlining the Business Permits and Licensing System (BPLS) standards were also continuing to reduce the cost of doing business at the LGU level. As of the end of 2014, eight (8) cities and 57 municipalities have fully complied with the BPLS standards which adopt only one form and reduces the steps, processing time, and signatories for new applications and business renewals. For LGUs to present a more efficient business environment and attract more investors, technical Assistance in the formulation of business plans and local investment and incentives code (LIIC) as well as in updating the LRC were also provided to seven pilot LGUs. The Civil Service Commission of Region X (CSC-X), in its effort to ensure a responsive, accessible, courteous and efficient government bureaucracy placed premium on improving frontline services and further professionalizing career and non-career positions for an effective delivery of public service. Monitoring and provision of assistance in the implementation of RA 9485 (Anti-Red Tape Act) particularly on the posting of citizens’ charter, anti-fixer campaign, and putting in place public assistance and complaint desks for a more client-friendly government is continuing. To qualify prospective applicants in the bureaucracy, two (2) Career Service Examinations are done regularly twice each year each year (every May and October) serving 17,749 examinees for both the Professional and Sub-Professional levels in 2014. This is 82 percent more than the 9,765 examinees in 2010. Passers over actual examinees however dropped from 12 percent in 2010 to only 10 percent in 2014 to fill in the vacancies left by retired government employees or for new items created. (Table 12) Computerized examinations (COMEX), after its inauguration last December 2014, now reinforce the usual paper and pencils tests, however, posting only 13 passers out of the 155 examinees or a passing rate of only 8.4 percent. Undertaken in collaboration with the DOST-Advanced Science and Technology Institute, the CSC COMEX is a new system designed to unite all existing stand10

Chapter 2: Good Governance, Peace and Order, and Public Safety alone examination processes on acceptance and processing of applications, preparation of examination documents, conduct of examination, processing of results, and generation of examination reports into a single examination system. CSC COMEX will run through Wide Area Network environment where the regional testing centers shall be connected to the central server located at the CSC Central Office. A salient feature of the new system is the integration of modern facilities that would make the entire examination administration process – from application all the way to processing of test results – faster, easier, and more efficient. Whether by means of Paper and Pencil Test (PPT) or through the Computerized examination, the least percentage that one must acquire is 80 percent to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility. A total of 675 eligibilities were granted under the special laws of the country such as those for Barangay Officials which increased by 409 percent from only 87 in 2010 to 443 in 2014; for Honor Graduates (PD 907) which was 41 percent more than the 159 eligibilities granted in 2010; Barangay Health Workers; and Skills-test eligibilities under the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). 2014’s number of eligibilities granted is 57 percent more than the 429 eligibilities granted in 2010. (Table 13) As LGUs can create new positions duly supported by proper justification, an increase in the region’s number of LGU plantilla positions was noted between 2010 and the present. However, consistent with government’s rationalization and streamlining efforts for an efficient bureaucracy, the percentage of vacancies over the plantilla positions posted an increase from only 17 percent in 2010 to 19 percent as of March 2015. (Table 14) LGUs’ empowerment has strengthened as the use of information and communication technology (ICT) become an indispensable tool in ensuring good governance. The computerization of some of the critical revenue generating areas of local governance markedly reduced, if not completely eradicate corruption and bureaucratic red tape and at the same time increased government revenue. Equally important is the improvement of service delivery as computerization eliminates tedious manual intervention significantly reducing processing time and ensuring accuracy of transactions and processes. DILG Memorandum Circular 2013-140 required LGUs to establish their respective Full disclosure Policy Portals that would show their respective Annual Budgets, Statement of Debt Service, Statement of Receipts and Expenditures, Annual Procurement Plan, Annual GAD Accomplishment Report and many others. Compliance to the Full Disclosure Policy is one of the requirements for an LGU to be awarded the Seal of Good Housekeeping. Hence, from only 26 (31%) out of the 84 municipalities in the region having internet connection in 2010, a total of 53 municipalities (63%) are already interconnected as of March 2015. (Table 15) The rest of the municipalities are still confronted with challenges that hinder them from getting into the ICT bandwagon such as the absence of good telecommunications infrastructures in their respective areas, the unaffordable cost of IT solutions packages in the market and most of all, the lack of funds to finance technological initiatives. Nonetheless, higher compliance among LGUs is expected in the coming years in pursuit of the Performance Challenge Fund (PCF), an incentive fund to LGUs in the form of counterpart funding to high-impact capital investment projects in the Annual Investment Program.

Regional Development Report 2014

Enhanced effectiveness and efficiency of government programs & projects Ensuring private sector participation in governance Continuing participation of the region’s accredited non-government organizations/private sector representatives (NGOs/PSRs) in the various regional development processes is ensured especially in the updating of the Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2011-2016. Five of RDC-X’s PSRs actively participated in the 5th RDC Private Sector Representatives National Convention in Iloilo City on August 13-15, 2014. The Convention recognized PSRs as RDCs crucial partners in the pursuit of inclusive growth and job creation. RDC-X also participated in the August 2014 First Regional Gender and Development Council (RGADC) Summit to strengthen regional mechanisms for GAD convergence. The summit highlighted good practices on mainstreaming GAD and on the localization of the Magna Carta of Women. Organization of local special bodies In terms of creation/organization of local special bodies, Region X LGUs also indicated an improved performance nearing 100 percent of the municipalities compliant to RA 7160’s mandate. Some 98 percent of the 84 municipalities in the province have organized their respective Municipal Development Councils as of March 2014 from only an 82 percent compliance in 2010; 96 percent to the creation of Municipal Prequalification, Bids and Awards Committees from only 82 percent four years ago; 98 percent having Municipal Health Boards from only 82 percent in 2010; 98 percent to the creation of Municipal School Boards from only 81 percent; and 98 percent to the creation of Municipal Peace and Order Councils from only 82 percent in 2010. (Table 16 & Table 17)

Bringing About More Equitable/ Inclusive Growth Gender and Development (GAD) Mainstreaming Representatives of the Regional Development Council participated in the Continuing advocacy on Gender and Development (GAD) mainstreaming and capability-building towards the localization of the Magna Carta of Women were continually undertaken by the region’s government agencies. The DILG-X actively monitored the submission of LGUs’ GAD plans and budgets and accomplishment reports, the functionality of the Violence Against Women (VAW) Desks and the organization of the Local Councils for the Protection of Children (LCPC) at all levels. Provision of technical assistance by the DILG to LGUs and NEDA regional offices to regional line agencies and SUCs in the formulation of GAD Plans and Budgets focused on the mandate of the organization as and on the provision of services to clients is also continuing. Strengthening Democratic Processes through Cooperativism The number of functional cooperatives increased from only 1,602 as of the fourth quarter of 2013 to 1,672 as of the same period of 2014 with a cumulative investment of P1.271 billion from only P1.263 billion in 2013. Most (44%) of these cooperatives are operating in Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon (22%) and Lanao del Norte (20%). Cooperatives in Misamis Oriental cornered 67 percent share of the region’s total paid-up capitalization reaching Php848.004 million which is however PhP3.194 million short of last year’s Php851.198 million worth of investments. (Table 18) 12

Chapter 2: Good Governance, Peace and Order, and Public Safety Compared to the 2010 performance, the number of functional cooperatives grew by 23 percent, membership by four percent and paid-up capital by five percent. (Table 19) Employment Facilitation and Manpower Development

DOLE-X continue on their efforts toward employment facilitation and manpower development. Some 13,192 poor but deserving students and out-of-school youths intending to pursue education were employed where 40% of their salaries are covered under the Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES). Effective networking with the Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs), private companies and other stakeholders resulted to a total of 123,114 job vacancies solicited in the region as of the end of 2014. Of the 123,114 job vacancies, 84 percent (103,321) were referred for placement posting a placement rate of 85 percent. A total of 75,125 jobseekers were provided labor market information which enlists labor supply and demand. Some 1,216 institutions mostly in schools and private offices are registered in the government job search portal – the PhilJobnet.

Reducing LGU dependency on IRA for a more effective decentralization and autonomy of local governments With improvements in the delivery of public services coupled with enhanced local planning and expenditure management, local government units posted an average annual growth rate of 10.3 percent in local revenues or an increase by 47.9 percent from only Php2.472 billion in 2010 to Php3.656 billion in 2014. Income from fees and charges more than doubled (104.6%) after four years. Revenues from business and other taxes, economic enterprises and real property tax posted increases by 56.7 percent, 44.4 percent and 27%, respectively. (Table 20) In 2014, business and other taxes shared 33.3 percent followed by economic enterprises, 31.3 percent; and real property tax, 24.7 percent. The least amount sharing only 10.7 percent of collections were generated from fees and charges. Of the Php3.656 billion, Bukidnon posted the highest collection among provinces sharing 11.7 percent of the region’s total, followed by Misamis Occidental with 6.1 percent. Among cities, Cagayan de Oro shared 40.9 percent followed by Iligan with 13.1 percent of the region’s total collection in 2014. (Table 21) Between 2010-2014, IRA dependency of most provinces and cities in Region 10 improved except for the province of Misamis Oriental and the Cities of El Salvador and Valencia. Misamis Oriental posted an increase in IRA dependency by 13.7 percentage points from only 73 percent in 2010 to 87 percent dependency in 2014. The cities of El Salvador and Valencia also posted increases in IRA dependency by 16.0 & 10.7 percentage points, respectively. El Salvador City’s IRA dependency was only 66 percent in 2010 and 64 percent in 2011 when it was yet a municipality but went up to 82 percent in 2014 after it was classified as a city in 2012. (Table 22)

B. Attaining Peace and Security To ensure that peace and security is maintained in the communities, national government’s Payapa at Masaganang PamayaNAn (PAMANA) program was extended to isolated, hard-to-reach conflict-affected communities in the region. A total of Php152.975 million PAMANA funds were released through the DILG-X since 2012 until April 2015. For 2012, a total of Php85 million was provided by DILG-X to the province of Lanao del Norte for the implementation of 14 projects (mostly farm to market roads) spread over the municipalities of Kauswagan, Kolambugan, Munai, Poona Piagapo, Salvador and Tangkal. Of the 14 projects, four were completed, two more than 95 percent complete and the rest still ongoing. For 2013, DILG-X released a total of Php51.675 million of PAMANA funds for another 14 projects. A total of Php31.675 million (61 percent) was extended to three municipalities of Lanao del Norte (Kolambugan, Poona Piagapo and Munai) and the remaining amount (Php20 million) to the municipalities of Cabanglasan and San Fernando in Bukidnon. Except for the Kolambugan Circumferential Road Project and the Sundiga-Munai Bridge which are still ongoing, all the other projects funded in 2013 were already completed. In 2014, a total of Php1.3 million PAMANA project funds were allocated to Lanao del Norte particularly for the implementation of a water system for the municipality of Kauswagan and the completion of a health center with provision of medicines and medical supplies for the municipality of Tangkal, Lanao del Norte. In 2015, a total of Php15 million has also been allocated to the municipalities of Impasug-ong (Php3.5 million for the construction of Bailey Bridge at barangay Bontongan and Php4.5 million for the road rehabilitation of Barangay Bulonay) and San Fernando (Php2.0 million for water system at Barangay Kibongoog) in Bukidnon as well as the municipality of Bacolod (Php5.0 million for the water system at barangay Pagayawan) in Lanao del Norte.

Regional Development Report 2014

I. Assessment SECTOR OUTCOME: Adequate and efficient logistics system, integrated intermodal system and infrastructure support and services

A. Improving connectivity and efficiency The transportation subsector continues to provide adequate, efficient and integrated intermodal transport system towards improved transport connectivity and efficiency. The RDC-X monitored the implementation of key road projects such as the Iligan-Bukidnon Road, the Alubijid-Laguindingan-Gitagum Bypass Road leading to the Laguindingan Airport, Cagayan de Oro Coastal Bypass Road and Widening of the BCIR (Opol-Laguindingan Section). The Council also pursued the implementation of the Panguil Bay Bridge Project, Laguindingan Seaport, the Laguindingan Airport Development and Operations Management Project, and the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor (CIC) Mindanao Railway System Project. However, in the early and late part of 2014, the vulnerability to disasters of the region’s transport systems was exposed. Typhoon Agaton caused the cancellation of 166 flights in Laguindingan Airport from January 8 to 22, 2014 that resulted to about PHP 20 Million per day of economic losses. It also completely washed away the Larapan Bridge in Linamon, Lanao del Norte which strategically connects Lanao del Norte and Misamis Oriental. In December last year, Tropical Storm Seniang caused major sections of the national highway along the Butuan-CDO-Iligan Road (BCIR) and the Mambayaan Bridge in Balingasag, Misamis Oriental impassable which disrupted the flow of traffic during the Christmas Holidays. To address the effects of natural hazards to the transportation subsector and minimize disruptions in the flow of people, goods and services during weather disturbances, RDC-X closely monitored the installation of the Air Navigation and Support Facilities at the Laguindingan Airport until its completion in October 2014 and approved key road projects that shall serve as alternate/redundant roads.

Land Transportation Roads and Bridges Region X is strategically link to all the regions in Mindanao through a reliable road network system. All-paved national highway connects the major cities outside the region to the various regional growth centers and the four (4) strategic development areas (SDAs). The following major cities in Mindanao are accessible by land :  Butuan City from the east via the Butuan-Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Road;  Zamboanga City from the west via Linamon-Zamboanga Road;  Dipolog City from the north-west via Oroquieta City-Plaridel-Calamba-Sapang Road;  Pagadian City from the west via Ozamiz -Pagadian Road;  Cotabato City from the South via Junction Sayre Highway-Damulog Poblacion Road;  Davao City from South-east via Bukidnon-Davao Road; and,  Marawi City from Central Mindanao via Iligan-Marawi Road.. 26

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services These major roads also serve as transit points for users of the Mindanao Container Terminal and the Laguindingan Airport. The roads also provide access and movement of agriculture products from Davao Region, Caraga Region, Lanao del Sur Province and fishery products from Zamboanga Peninsula among others. As of December 2014, the region has the longest national road system of 1,923.48 kilometers which comprised about 23 percent of the total 8,266.96 kilometers national road network among the regions in Mindanao.

The 2014 regional national road network system is longer by about 25 kilometers compared 1,898.31 kilometers recorded in 2013 due to conversion into national road of the Lanao del Norte Interior Circumferential Road connecting the Iligan City to the municipalities of Tagoloan, Balo-i and Linamon, Lanao de Norte. However, the 1,475.29 kilometers of paved national roads in the region as of December 2014 is below the CY 2014 plan target of 1,690.94 kilometers. By 2016, a total of 1,899.93 kilometers of national road should have been paved. (Table 23) While the region has the longest paved national road of 1,475.29 kilometers, it has the second longest unpaved national road length of 448.19 kilometers next only to Region IX with 478.88 kilometers. The challenge now therefore is for DPWH to pave the remaining 2,019.05 kilometers of national roads in Mindanao by 2016. (Table 24) At the regional level, there are a total of 22,935.72 kilometers of road network system which comprised of 1,940.30 kilometers national roads and bridges, and 20,995.42 kilometers of local roads. The local roads constitute about 92 percent of the total regional road network system.

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services The regional road network system provides interconnection to key areas in the region linking production areas to market and key potential development centers in the region. Bukidnon registered the longest road network system among the provinces with 8,675.55 kilometers comprising about 38 percent of the total road network of the region. Camiguin has the least length of road network with 438.55 kilometers, 1.91 percent of the total road network system. Regional road density is at 1.14 km. per square kilometer of land area or 4.97 kilometers per 1,000 population (based on 2014 estimated population = 4,618,582). Across the region, Cagayan de Oro City registered the highest road density (1.90 km./sq. km.) followed by Camiguin Province (1.50 km./sq. km.), while Bukidnon recorded the least road density (0.83 km./sq. km.). (Table 25) The RDC-X recognized the importance of having alternate roads in times of disasters made sure that DRR/CCA resilient alternate roads and bridges will be constructed and that the reconstruction of damaged roads and bridges are climate proof within the principle of building back better. Various road projects are also ongoing construction to address the missing links and connect the highway system to seaports and airports. Figure 4.

National Road Development Projects of Northern Mindanao, as of December 2014.

Finally, the Panguil Bay Bridge will come into reality after more than 20 years. The PhP5.86 Billion bridge project was approved by the President through the NEDA Board on January 16, 2015 to be 29

Regional Development Report 2014 funded by the national government. Current activity onsite is the construction of access roads at both sides of the proposed bridge. Target length of access roads to be constructed is about 1.9 kilometers with an appropriation of PhP100 Million. Figure 5.

On-going Access Road Projects for the Panguil Bay Bridge, as of December 2014.

The Panguil Bay Bridge, together with the Mindanao Container Terminal and the Laguindingan Airport, will essentially complete the development ingredients in support to the region’s quest to be the major transshipment hub in Mindanao. The RDC-X shall continue to pursue the establishment of the Laguindingan Seaport to further improve the intermodal transportation system of the region. Figure 6.

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services Farm-to-Market Roads Based on the RDP target, a total of 987.0 kilometer of FMR is expected to be constructed by end of 2016. However, of the 493.50 kilometers target for 2014, only about 35 percent or 347.40 kilometers of FMR were constructed as of December 2014. The primary reason for the low accomplishment is the technical difficulties of the LGUs in the preparation of Program of Works (POW) and Detailed Engineering Design (DED). The DA is providing continuing technical assistance to the LGUs to improve the concern on low utilization of funds in order to improve the sector performance in the construction of FMR. (Table 26) RDP 2011-2016 performance indicators Attaining the targets for the land transportation indicators by 2016 remains a challenge. The results matrix showed shortfall in the accomplishment in the length of paved national roads and construction/rehabilitation of FMR. (Table 27) Given the results, the following are the major challenges: 1. Road development is still a major concern especially improving the physical conditions of the local roads; and, 2. Road right-of-way acquisition is still a major deterrent in the implementation of roads and bridges projects including farm to market roads Motor Vehicle Registration and Annual Average Daily Traffic The 2014 annual motor vehicle registration grew by 6.99 percent, from 246,880 motor vehicles in 2013 to 264,139 motor vehicles in 2014. Registration of private (renewal) and new government motor vehicles increased by 9.40 percent and 43.97 percent, respectively. Given the total number of 246,880 vehicles registered and the total road length of 22,935.72 kilometers, this translates to an average of eleven (11) motor vehicles per kilometer of road. Motor vehicles registered which are classified as private vehicles constituted about 91 percent of the total motor vehicles registered; hence, traffic congestion is being experienced in urbanized areas due to the concentration of motor vehicles. Only about 7 percent of the total motor vehicles registered are classified as for hire. Therefore, accessibility to public transport to serve the majority of the population remains a challenge particularly in remote areas of the region. (Table 28)

Regional Development Report 2014

Air Transportation Air Traffic The year 2014 is the full year operation of the Lagindingan Airport since the start of its commercial operation on 15 June 2013 under visual flight rule. The limited time of operation (sunrise to sunset operation), unfavorable weather conditions in January 2014 and cancellation of some flights by the airline companies led to lower flights (incoming and outgoing) registered during the year by 17.16 percent, from 14,968 flights in 2013 to 12,400 flights in 2014. Consequently, the total number of passengers decreased by 23.49 percent during the period, from 1.638 million passengers in 2013 to 1.253 million passengers in 2014. Cargo traffic handled is steadily increasing making the airport as a key player in strengthening the role of the region as a transshipment hub. Cargo traffic in 2014 increased by 8.48 percent, from 20.127 million kilograms in 2013 to 21.833 million kilograms in 2014. (Table 29) Installation of the Air Navigation and Support Facilities (ANSSF) Project component of the Laguindingan Airport Development Project was completed in October 2014. With this development, flight cancellations are now eliminated in time of inclement weather. Laguindingan Airport started its commercial night flight operations in March 2015. (Table 30) Laguindingan Airport Development, Operations and Maintenance Project (LADP) Reflective also of the vibrancy of the economy of the region is the implementation of the PhP14.62 Billion Laguindingan Airport Development and O&M Project Phase 1 approved by the NEDA Board for Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) implementation. The project was approved by the NEDA Board in June 2014 and shall be implemented in three phases and shall essentially improve the services of the airport by expanding the passenger terminal, cargo terminal buildings and the runway. Phase 1 with a total project cost of PhP2.257 Billion and is targeted to be implemented starting 2015 to 2017. (Table 31) Cost  

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services

Sea Transportation Laguindingan Seaport For the seaport development, the RDC-X pursued the establishment of the Laguindingan Seaport to further improve the intermodal transportation system of the region. The seaport shall also serve as an alternate transport system access going to the Laguindingan Airport and to further support tourism development in the region. The seaport is envisioned to serve as part of the tourism triangle that shall connect to Camiguin island and to key areas in Misamis Occidental. The budget for the proposed Laguindingan seaport Project amounting to PhP 225 Million was approved and endorsed by the RDC-X Full Council and RAC-10, respectively. Figure 7.

Proposed Laguindingan Seaport Location.

Shipping, Cargo and Passenger Traffic PPA Ports The 2014 annual total ship calls recorded was lower by 8.64 percent as there were fewer domestic ship calls posted in the major PPA ports. The unfavorable weather conditions in January 2014 affected the shipping activities for the year. In Cagayan de Oro Port, lesser ship calls by the fast craft from Cagayan de Oro to Camiguin was recorded due to high cost of fare. About 89 percent of the total domestic ship calls were registered in the ports in Iligan and Ozamiz since Roro services are plying the route from Mukas Port to Ozamiz Port. (Table 33)

33

Regional Development Report 2014 Cargo traffic slightly increased by 0.01 percent as the increased in domestic cargoes (+1.46 percent) outweighed the decline in foreign cargoes (-5.32 percent) handled by the base and private ports. Ports under the PMOs of Misamis Oriental/Cagayan de Oro and Misamis Occidental/Ozamiz registered significant increases in cargoes handled by 1.49 percent and 20.17 percent, respectively. An 11.29 percent decline in cargoes handled in Iligan port was posted as both the domestic and foreign cargoes declined by 9.34 percent and 14.44 percent, respectively. (Table 34) The 2014 annual container traffic posted improvement by 7.26 percent despite the 28.21 decline in container traffic in Lanao del Norte/Iligan Port. Container traffic in the ports of Cagayan de Oro and Ozamiz expanded by 9.84 percent and 12.05 percent, respectively. For the year, about 83 percent of the total volume of container traffic was handled in Cagayan de Oro Port. (Table 35) More than 4.2 million passengers (embarking and disembarking) were recorded in the three (3) major PPA ports in 2013, lower by 4.33 percent than the number of passengers posted last year. About 70 percent of the total passengers were registered in the Port of Ozamiz were RoRo passengers are regularly transported from Mukas Port in Tubod, Lanao del Norte to Ozamiz port and vice-versa. (Table 36) Mindanao Container Terminal There were fewer ship calls recorded in the Mindanao Container Terminal in 2014 declining by 6.78 percent attributed mainly to the 26.54 percent decline in foreign ship calls. The stoppage of operation of the Singapore- based Marianas Express in August 2014 due to competition greatly affected the MCT regular foreign vessel calls by about 30 percent which is equivalent to 2 vessel calls per week with a load capacity of 4 TEUs per vessel call. The stoppage affected the foreign ship calls in the last quarter of 2014. As a result, containers handled in the fourth quarter of 2014 were also affected registering a decline of 15.85 percent, from 57,159 TEUs in 2013 to 48,099 TEUs in 2014. MCT efficiency in 2014 is down to 74.15 percent (200,218 TEUs) vis-à-vis the 270,000 TEUs potential compared to 83.16 percent (224,539 TEUs) in 2013.

34

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services Figure 8.

Containers Handled (in TEUs) in MCT.

The decline in containers handled was also attributed to the following: 

Export/Import. Exportation of raw lumber has dropped drastically since China no longer demands lumber from the Philippines. Wood based locator (RYL Commodities) inside the Estate just closed and turned over its leased area to PIA. Some band saw operators have likewise been affected.



Outbound and Inbound Cargo. From CY 2013 to 2014, the inbound/outbound cargo decreased by about 9 percent. The port congestion and truck ban in Manila has somewhat affected the turnaround of inbound cargoes for Mindanao and MCT



Equipment. In 2014, one (1) of the two (2) gantry cranes underwent repairs for one month. With only one unit gantry operating, the operations of the Container Terminal have been greatly affected.

For the annual performance of other PIA-regulated ports, the total ship calls improved by 4.96 percent as both the foreign and domestic ship calls increased by 22.096 percent and 1.16 percent, respectively. Cargoes handled however dropped by 5.05 percent during the year, from 13.822 million MT in 2013 to 13.125 million MT in 2014 mainly due to the 5.84 percent decline in foreign cargoes handled. The bulk of foreign cargoes came from Phil Sinter Corp and Steag Power Plant while domestic cargoes were derived from Petron Bulk Terminal, Jetti Petroleum Inc, Phoenix Petroleum Corp, Sea Oil and other manufacturing plants operating inside the Estate and nearby vicinity. (Table 37) Based on the assessment of the RDP 2011-2016 indicators, key deliverables for the sea transportation sub-sectors are within target. As of December 2013, PPA implemented various programs and projects such as construction of passenger terminal building, improvement of berthing facilities and providing additional seaport facilities to handle the increasing volume of passenger traffic, cargoes and ship calls. As of December 2013, the passenger terminal building (PTB) of Iligan and Ozamiz ports have been completed with a combined seating 35

Regional Development Report 2014 capacity of about 1,667, which is 46.43 percent of the 50 percent target for the period. Other PPA implemented projects are in various stages of implementation posting an overall physical accomplishment of 59.60 percent, 3.59 percent ahead of target as of December 2013. (Table 38)

Railway System Development The RDC-X continues its pursuit for the establishment of the CIC Mindanao Railway System. The project is among the NEDA’s top priorities for feasibility studies under the Feasibility Studies Fund (FSF). The study is expected to start by June 2015. The CIC Rail segment of the MRS would be a 124.65-kilometer rail mainline (single and double track) from the municipality of Jasaan, Misamis Oriental to municipality of Linamon, Lanao del Norte, covering 14 municipalities and the two cities Cagayan de Oro and Iligan.

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services

Communications Effective communications infrastructure is one of the key factors that increase the prospects for investment inflows into the region. Telephone Lines The landline telephone services in Northern Mindanao are provided by 11 telephone companies namely: Camiguin Telephone Cooperative (CamTeCo); Cruz Telephone Company, Inc. (CruzTelCo); Globe Telecommunications, Inc./Innove Communications, Inc.; Misamis Oriental Telephone System, Inc. (MisOrTel); Plaridel Service Cooperative (PlaSeCo); Philippine Global Communications, Inc. (PHILCOM); Pilipino Telephone Corporation (PILTEL); Philippine Long Distance Telephone, Inc. (PLDT); PLDT Maratel, Inc; Southern Telecommunications Company, Inc. (SotelCo); and Telecommunications Management Services, Inc. (TMSI). As of December 2014, only 38 of 84 municipalities in the region have landline telephone connections. This is 44 percent short of target as indicated in the Results Matrix of the Regional Development Plan 2014-2016 and a 28.72 percent decrease compared to the previous year. A large portion of reduction was recorded in the province of Misamis Oriental, which is attributed to the cessation of services and facilities of the Telecommunications Office and the West Misamis Oriental Telephone Company. The operation of these companies was affected by the increasing number of private telecommunications company point-of- presence, unviability and end-of life status of such facilities. Of the total number of equipped telephone lines in 2014, only 48.51 percent were subscribed with a telephone density of 1.44. The declining demand for landlines is due to the increasing coverage of the Cellular Mobile Telephone Service (CMTS) that most of the subscribers consider more economical and convenient to use. (Table 39) Mobile Telecommunications The number of CMTS in the region as of end of 2014 increased by 22.20 percent or 186 more compared to the previous year. This is due to the expansion and upgrading of services by the major service providers. Of the three major cellular service providers, the Smart Telecommunications Inc. has the most number of CMTS with 48.54 percent share from the total number in the region. Globe Telecommunications Inc. has 29.59 percent share, and the Digital Telecommunications Philippines Inc. has 21.88 percent share. Among the provinces in the region, Misamis Oriental recorded the most number of CMTS (42.87 percent) from the three major service providers, followed by Bukidnon (21.09 percent), Misamis Occidental (17.19 percent), Lanao del Norte (15.92 percent), and Camiguin (2.93 percent). (Table 40)

Regional Development Report 2014

Internet Connections There was no significant increase in the number of internet subscribers in the region. PLDTPHILCOM served the most number of internet subscribers which is 83.65 percent from the total number in the region. Other subscribers are connected to CABLE 21 (5.73 percent), ICCBAYANTEL (3.67 percent), PLDT (2.57 percent), TMSI (1.81 percent), SOTELCO (1.23 percent), and CRUZTELCO/SMART BROADBAND (1.12 percent). Complaints were noted on the limited access and persistent low speed connecting the internet that the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has prompted to take actions to resolve the issue. The Commission has urged the Congress to amend certain provisions of Republic Act 7925 or the Telecommunications Policy Act of 1995 as well as the other related pre-internet laws (Commonwealth Act 146, Republic Act 3846, Republic Act 7925) to classify internet service as a basic service. This will empower NTC in its regulatory function over the development of internet service and other related technologies. NTC is working closely with the Senate’s technical working group, major telecommunications players and other stakeholders. Likewise, the Commission has conducted series of meetings together with the major internet service providers with the intent to address the issue on internet speed. While there are regulatory challenges ahead, NTC is focused on the enhancement of access to telecommunications. There is a need to increase the broadband speed at just reasonable rates. The Commission has targeted to attain by the end of 2016 a minimum speed of 15 mbps for download and 10 mbps upload considering that the ASEAN average speed is 12.4 mbps while the global speed is 17.5 mbps. It is expected that all municipalities and barangays will be covered by CMTS in 2016. As of 2014, the CMTS coverage is 99.38 percent while the broadband coverage is 60.90 percent. (Table 41)

B. Strengthening resilience to climate change and disasters Poor flood control and drainage system and heavy siltation in rivers and creeks increased the flood hazard and vulnerability of the region. One of the major projects of the region to further improve resiliency to disaster is the PHP8.6 Billion Flood Risk Management Project for Cagayan de Oro River (FRIMP-CDOR) which was approved by the NEDA Board on 17 October 2014. Moreover, other flood control projects are also being implemented by the DPWH along the Cagayan de Oro, Iponan, and Mandulog Rivers with a total project cost of about PhP4.65 Billion.

C. Improving good governance through ICT As of December 2014. the Philippine Community eCenter (PhilCeC) Program of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-ICT Office) has established Community eCenters in 39 municipalities which previously have no shared internet facilities. This however, is 55 percent short of target. On its Year 3 implementation in 2015, the PhilCeC Program continues with the implementation of the Tech4Ed. The Tech4Ed Program provides access points, especially in the rural areas, to bridge 38

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services the digital and education divide. Individuals and communities will be able to access information, communications, technology, government services, non-formal education, skills training, telehealth, job markets, and business portals that would give them opportunities for national participation and economic growth. DOST-ICTO is in the process of engaging with potential beneficiaries (local government units) in implementing the Tech4Ed program in their community. Fifty Tech4Ed centers are targeted to be established in the region by end of 2015. Moreover, in 2015, the DOST-ICT Office is implementing the Digital Empowerment Program or the Juan Konek. This aims to provide connectivity for the operation of e-Government, to deliver free Wi-Fi internet access in public places, and to adopt the TV whitespace (TVWS) technology to bring connectivity for those beyond the reach of commercial wired or wireless broadband service. The TVWS technology uses un-allocated television frequency spectrum to provide data connectivity. It is targeted that by 2016, there shall be 99 percent connectivity in the Philippines. (Table 42)

D. Improving accessibility and adequacy of basic infrastructure services As of school year 2013-2014, there were 2,083 government elementary schools with 17,136 classrooms and 350 government secondary schools with 5,035 classrooms in Region 10. In said school year, enrolment in public elementary (including kinder) and secondary schools were 757,236 and 237,238 pupils/students, respectively. The average classroom to pupil/student ratios then were 1:34 for elementary schools and 1: 47 for secondary schools. At the standard classroom to pupil/student ratio of 1:39 for elementary and 1:45 for secondary, the region had an excess inventory of elementary classroom and shortage in secondary school classrooms. The average figures for elementary school classroom hides the problem of distribution. Most provinces and cities met the standard in public elementary classrooms to student ratio, except for the province of Misamis Oriental and the cities of Cagayan de Oro (1:49) and Valencia City (1:42). As to secondary public school classrooms, the following have ratios beyond the standard indicating shortage in classrooms: the provinces of Bukidnon (1:46) and Misamis Oriental (1:51) and the cities of Cagayan de Oro (1:56), Iligan (1:47) and Valencia (1:54). With the on-going implementation of the K-12 program, there is the need to cope with classroom demands, increasing textbooks, and teachers’ needs, among others. (Table 50 and Table 51)

Regional Development Report 2014

E. Improving solid waste management The enacted of Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act in 2000 provides a framework for managing the growing problem of solid waste in the country. It gives prime importance to the roles of LGUs in managing their respective solid wastes.

Sanitary Landfill As of 2014, only three LGUs (municipalities of Damulog, Maramag and Province of Camiguin) were able to operate a sanitary landfill (Categroized SLF) for residual waste. In the case of Camiguin, the sanitary landfill also served its 5 municipalities. The city government of Ozamiz was able to avail of a loan facility to finance the construction of their SLF. Initial site clearing was undertaken in 2013 but was suspended pending the issuance of an amended ECC by EMB Central Office. There was also a need to redesign the development plan because of issues on road right of way and buffer. The equipment component of the loan package are already secured and the equipment are already in use especially during garbage collection and improvement of the existing dump (maintenance cover, compaction, etc) which is still being used in the meantime that the SLF is not yet operational.

Materials Recovery Facility The increasing trend in the number of MRFs established from 512 in 2011 to 684 in 2014 is a proof that LGUs come to embrace the practice of segregation and waste diversion through sale of recyclables. The 684 MRFs established in the region is 92 percent of the end of plan total which is eight percent higher than the RDP target of 84 percent by 2014. The provision of funding support by some LGUs facilitated the increase in establishment of MRFs. LGUs with existing MRFs are making sure at achieving an increase in compliance among its component barangays because they have proven that when barangays are mobilized and empowered in SWM, the municipality /city will have to spend a little less time and money in waste collection and disposal. For barangays with MRFs, compostable waste are reduced at source and recyclable wastes no longer comes out of the households. The MRF becomes pick up points for collection of residual and special waste.

F. Improving energy and water security Electrification Household. The region has sustained the universal barangay electrification since 2010. Increasing household electrification level was also observed with a total of 760,871 households or 84.76 percent now enjoying the benefits of electricity as of December 2014. While there were 32,536 additional households provided with electricity which is equivalent to 4.47 percent increase compared to a year ago in CY 2013, this is 5.24 percent short of the 2014 annual target 40

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services in the RDP 2011-2016. Meanwhile, other rural households living in areas which are not connected to the transmission grid continue to utilize available alternative energy source through the Solar Power Technology as promoted by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) under its Expanded Household Electrification Program (HEP). Over the five-year period from 2009 to 2014, energized households energized increased by an average of six percent annually. The NEA’s mandate is to reach the 90 percent level of energization by year 2017.

Sitio. The Sitio Electrification Program of the region accomplished about 72 percent of the potential 10,005 sitios, regionwide. The level of sitio energization was up by 11 percent (or an additional 708 sitios) as of December 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. The annual average growth rate (AAGR) of sitio electrification from the year 2012 to 2014 was posted at 9.86 percent. The RDP 2011-2016 of Northern Mindanao targets to attain a universal energization of sitios by 2016. (Table 43)

Power Generation Capacity Installed. Region 10’s power plants have a total installed capacity of 1,158.40 megawatts as of December 2014. The total IC already included the embedded power sources from CEPALCO, ILPI, FIBECO, MOELCI and MORESCO II which shared about 18 percent of the total IC. The Embedded power sources provided cushion that allowed continuous power supply to consumers in Region 10 even during times when the Mindanao Grid experienced net supply-demand power gap. Dependable. The dependable capacity (DC) as of December 2014 was 965.14 megawatts or 83 percent of the total installed capacity of the region. The DC increased by 11 percent or about 92 megawatts more compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was due to the operation of the new 15.6 MW diesel power plant (DPP) in Panaon, Misamis Occidental as well as of the 15 MW Mapalad DPP in Iligan City. (Table 44) Generation Mix. The region’s DC has the following power generation mix: hydro67.37 percent; coal fired- 21.79; diesel – 8.55, Biomass - 2.18 and solar – 0.10 percent. Hydro power sources still dominate in the generation mix. However, the diesel source was increasing its share in the generation mix overtime.

Regional Development Report 2014 In 2014, the NGCP completed the implementation of all components of the Mindanao Backbone Transmission Development Program (MBTP) namely: Abaga-Kirahon 230 kv TL, KirahonMaramag 230 kv TL and Maramag-Bunawan 230 kv TL. It has a total project cost of PhP9.483 Billion. Figure 11. MBTP Transmission Line.

Source: NGCP

This backbone system is expected to ensure the stability, efficiency and reliability of power transmission in the entire Mindanao Grid. Specifically, the MBTP works to: a) lower transmission losses in the entire Mindanao Grid by decreasing network impedance; b) provide security to the transmission of power generated in Region X to the load centers in southern and southeastern Mindanao areas; and c) decongest transmission bottleneck in the Mindanao Grid during maximum hydro generation at Pulangi and Agus Hydroelectric Power plants. Energy Sales The Region’s overall comparative annual 2013 and 2014 data showed a decrease in the total energy sales by 0.5 percent or about 12.1 million Kwh. The energy sold to provinces of Camiguin and Lanao del Norte reduced by 0.49 and 5.60 percentages, respectively. According to NGCP, the decline in energy sales was due largely to the closure of operation of one of its major customers in the Province of Lanao del Norte. Misamis Oriental remained the biggest energy consumer in the region accounting for 58 percent of Region 10’s actual energy sales. Camiguin had the least energy purchase sharing only 0.79 percent. (Table 45)

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services Challenges and Constraints A persistent demand-supply gap in the Mindanao Grid continued to pose a challenge and constraint economic development in some areas. The region has been experiencing power shortage which resulted to blackouts. In early 2014 alone, the long hours of blackout (an average four-hour rotating brown-outs in areas where electric utilities did not have embedded powers or were not able to secure supply contracts with generating companies) resulted to PHP 2.315 billion in economic losses1. This shortage in power generation capacity is the result of very slow inflow of investment in power generation, and the derating and non-operation of power plants in the region in the prior years while the power demand continues to grow at an average of 4.7 percent per year in the last five years2. Outlook for cheap hydro (Agus HEP Complex and Pulangi) is compromised by siltation of river systems and dams and poor watershed management. Share of fossil fuels (oil based) in the energy mix is thus rising as shown in the pie chart below, and yet still to fully tap clean, renewable and indigenous power sources (to minimize foreign exchange and environmental costs). Figure 12. Power Generation Mix of the Mindanao Grid.

Geothermal (5.32%) Hydro-Power (51.50%) Oil-based (30.68) Coal (11.42%) Solar (0.05%) Biomass (1.03%)

Source: DOE Power Situationer, December 2014

Power Outlook The power supply in the Mindanao Grid is expected to cope with the demand with an additional 278.4MW capacity coming in June and August 2015. It is expected that additional bulk generation capacity of 278.4 MW and 980 MW will go on stream by 2015 and 2016, respectively. If all committed generation projects will be materialized, Mindanao shall have sufficient capacity and even surplus with additional 2,032 MW coming on stream in 2018.

Water Supply Water is one of the important assets of the region. It is being harnessed towards the provision of dependable and safe water supply for agricultural, domestic, commercial and industrial uses. The region’s goal to improve access of its population to safe, adequate, potable and sustainable water supply is anchored on the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets of halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water by 2015. Apart from this, the region targets to eliminate the number of waterless municipalities by the end of the plan period.

44

Chapter 3: Access, Logistics and Other Infrastructure Services Based on the 2014 report of the DOH-10, of the total 916,511 households in Region 10, around 866,420 households or 94.5 percent have access to potable water sources, the remaining 5.5 percent may have doubtful sources of drinking water. This level of access, however, fall short from the 2014 target of 97 percent access to potable water. All the provinces and cities in the region have more than 90 percent of their households with water service coverage, except for Lanao del Norte, which recorded the lowest at 83.11 percent. Around 54 percent of the 866,420 households were provided with Level III water supply services, 19 percent with Level I and almost seven percent with Level II. (Table 47) Waterless Municipalities The National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) has identified 28 waterless municipalities in Region 10 in 2010. Waterless municipalities are waterless areas that are having households with access to safe water of less than 50% . In 2011, there were 11 of the 28 waterless municipalities enrolled as beneficiaries of the Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig Para sa Lahat (SALINTUBIG) Program, a tripartite partnership project implemented by NAPC, DILG and DOH. This program is one of the government’s main actions in addressing the plight of Filipino households in such areas. For CY 2012, eight LGUs with 1 project each (5 municipalities and 3 cities) were beneficiaries of the SALINTUBIG Program. Of the eight water projects, only the project in Kalilangan, Bukidnon is not yet completed as there are problems encountered by the local government unit which is now being attended to by DILG-10. For CY 2013, there were 13 SALINTUBIG beneficiaries with a total of 15 projects but only the water system project in Sapad, Lanao del Norte was completed, nine are under construction while five projects are still under procurement process. For CY 2014, there were nine LGUs listed as SALINTUBIG beneficiaries with a total number of 12 projects. Of the 12 projects, five are of on-going construction while the seven projects are being reviewed as to documentary requirements. As of December 2014, the total number of LGU beneficiaries of SALINTUBIG has increased from 28 to 40, with a total of 46 water supply projects. As of the RDP target for CY 2014, the total number of LGU surpassed the target but only 19 projects were completed. The reason cited was that there were delays of documentary requirements submitted by the LGU beneficiaries of said program. (Table 48)

G. Improving Support to agricultural production improved Irrigation is very essential in the development of agriculture, as well as in the attainment of the region’s food sufficiency. In support to the Government’s Food Staple Self-Sufficiency Program, the National Irrigation Administration continued to provide irrigation services to the farmers and its clientele. As of December 2014, the irrigation systems in the region serviced 58 percent of the total potential areas of 121,432 hectares, an increase of 1.47 percent compared to 56.57 percent in CY 2013. This, however, is below the 62 percent target for the year.

45

Regional Development Report 2014 Among the provinces, Bukidnon recorded a substantial expansion/area added of 1,596 hectares in 2014, as it plays its vital role as the region’s food basket. Camiguin, on the other hand, has already reached its 100 percent level of irrigation development since 2013. Some of the reasons cited that slowed down the irrigation development of the region as reported by MGB-10 included the uncontrolled issuances of mining permits which resulted to unregulated or irresponsible mining/quarrying activities upstream and downstream that cause siltation and affected major irrigation structures and canals. There was also the issue of lack of financial and technical support to the farmers for land conversion, from other crops plantation to rice production and there are also some farmers who are not willing to have/accept irrigation systems and facilities. It was also raised that due to destruction/denudation of watershed, the quantity/discharge of water from rivers and other sources of irrigation water decreases particularly during dry season that resulted to drought and also during rainy season, where flooding occurs. It was also reported that part of the potential area which are suitable for rice production are leased to multi-national corporation and these areas are planted with high value crops for export such as banana and pineapple. NIA-10 is coordinating with LGUs and concerned agencies to address these issues and is presently collaborating with DA-10 in the conduct of trainings and introduction of new technologies which are climate proof for the farmers to further increase their production. (Table 49)

II.

Priority Action Areas

To increase the Country’s competitiveness thru ensuring safe, stable and secure power and energy and improved electrification, the following action areas must be given priority:  Develop new power sources and uprate existing plants  Harness natural gas industry and other renewable energy sources  Fast track uprating, rehabilitation of existing power plants to increase generating capacity  Pursue private-initiated projects to prepare for critical periods  Encourage private sector investments in additional power generating plants instead of focusing on the privatization of existing hydro electric plants.  Provide incentives to host regions and give priority in the allocation of power.  Amendment of section 71 of the EPIRA Law due to difficulty in attaining quorum of congress at a dispatch  Apply automatic de-loading of demand by electric utility and direct-connected industry  Load augmentation program Specific to the priority action areas above mentioned, the following programs/projects are proposed:  Agus 6 Uprating Project to improve the plant’s rated capacity to 2 x 31 MW (increase of 6 MW/unit in rated or 11 MW in dependable capacity from the original 2 x 25 MW), as well as extend the plant life for another 30 years.  Baloi Plains Flood Control Project  To put up a flood protection system within the Balo-I Plains to save the agricultural areas from inundation. 46

The level of household energization is lower than the target by 5.24%. However, the number of households energized is comparatively higher by 4.47% (additional 32,536 households) compared to the same period a year ago.

The completion of the MBTP is expected to contribute to the enhancement of the transmission capacity of the Mindanao Grid. The NEA reported that there was an increase in the number of households compared to the baseline data provided in 2012, thus resulted to adjustment in the number of potential households in Lanao del Norte. Moreover, said Province’s household energization was very slow than expected.

The NEA has to focus its technical assistance to areas where HH energization is slow.

Actual number of sitios energized was less than the target by 1% or 119 sitios

MORESCO II and LANECO had few number of sitios energized at 62.46% and 61.77% respectively. There was no reason provided by NEA that would explain the deviation.

NEA, in coordination with the concerned electric cooperatives, needs to step up efforts to expand coverage of sitios energization in 2015. The aforementioned DUs were also the same DUs that achieved the lowest level of sitios electrification in 2014. Maximize the utilization of funds for missionary electrification as mandated under the EPIRA.

Chapter 4. Trade and Industry

Regional Development Report 2014

I. Assessment A. Sector Outcome 1: Improved Productivity and Competitiveness of the Industry and Services Sector Focus interventions were continually spearheaded by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and other relevant national line agencies to further increase productivity, as well as, competitiveness of the industry and services sectors. Programs and projects were directed toward significantly contribute to employment generation, increased investments and boost export performance, among others. Various forms of assistance were specifically made available and accessible particularly to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as the majority of business-related establishments in the region are MSMEs.

Employment Generated Based on the October 2014 Labor Force Survey (LFS) of the Philippine Statistical Authority (PSA), workers in the services sector comprised the largest group at 47 percent of the total employed persons in Region X. The agriculture sector followed at 41 percent. Meanwhile, the industry sector made up the smallest group partaking only 13 percent of the region's total labor force. Regarding the services sector, majority or 63 percent of its workers were engaged in wholesale and retail trade/ repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles; transportation and storage and public administration and defense/compulsory social security. Of these three subsectors, the wholesale and retail trade/ repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles registered the bulk of the employment at 40 percent. Almost half or 49 percent of the workers the industry sector were employed in construction while the other 44 percent were in manufacturing. Relative to the targets set in the Updated RDP 2011-2016 Results Matrix (RM), the survey showed that the actual employment generated from the industry sector for 2014 exceeded the target by one percent (Table 52) while that of the services sector fell below the target by three percent.

Gross Value Added (GVA) GVA is a measure of the contribution to GDP made by an individual producer, industry or sector of an economy3. Based on the report of the PSA on Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) dated July 2014, GVA of Region X’s industry and services sectors for 2013 account as much as 42 percent and 34 percent of the GRDP while the agriculture sector accounts the remainder. Compared to the targets contained in the Updated RDP 2011-2016 RM, the industry and services sectors failed to attain the desired values set in the plan, although, only a very minimal deficit at 0.6 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively. (Table 53)

Chapter 4: Trade and Industry

Investments For the period 2011-2014, the total value of the investments poured into the region amounted to PhP 54,342 million (Table under Figure 13). Generally, the annual investments poured into the region registered an increasing trend with the exception in 2013 when the investment dipped from its 2012 level by 3.6 percent.

In terms of value of investments by sector, the infrastructure and services, servicing, trading and agri-based sectors generated the bulk (or 80 percent) of total investments during the period of 2011-2014 (Table 54). Compared to the targets in the Updated RDP 2011-2016 RM, the total value of investments generated for years 2013 and 2014 exceeded the targets by 18.3 percent and 17.9 percent, respectively (Table 55). For 2014, total regional investments amounted to PhP17,188 million. This was 29 percent higher compared to the PhP 13,342 million generated in 2013. The increase might be attributed to the surge of investment in Misamis Oriental that offset decreases recorded in the rest of the provinces. More than half of the regional investments for the year, was poured in the infra and services sector equivalent to PhP 9,084 million. The energy sector accounted for 20 percent share amounting to PhP 3,452 million.

Exports The total annual exports receipts of the region for 2011 to 2014 reached US$ 3,952 million. Within this 4-year period, export performance was on a roller coaster motion as the export receipts alternatively increased and decreased (Figure 14). In 2012, the decline in exports was due to the decline in sugar exports from Bukidnon and cold rolled coils and abaca pulp from Lanao del Norte and the decline in shipments on some of the region’s major exports such as coconut-based and sugar cane products, minerals, abaca pulp and iron & steel products, respectively. Meanwhile, the decline in 2014 was due to the decrease of export receipts in Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental.

In terms of the export performance relative to the Updated RDP 2011-2016 RM, the region’s actual export receipts generated in 2013 amounted to US$ 1,108 million. This was about 18 percent higher than the targeted amount equivalent to US$ 939.66 million. Unfortunately, in 2014 total export receipts slightly fell short of the targeted US$ 1,020 million by almost 10 percent. (Table 56) Despite the slight slowdown in exports in 2014 (Table 57), coconut-based products and oleochemicals continued to be the region’s top dollar earner amongst all other sectors and commodities, respectively. Oleochemicals constituted 34 percent of the total regional exports valued at US$ 310 million. During the same period, other top sectors include iron and steel products, processed foods, industrial manufactures and fresh fruits. Coconut oil, canned pineapples, rolled steel/coils steel and sintered ore were the top export commodities of the region.

Ecotourism Sites As of May 2014, the following were the existing ecotourism sites in the Region identified by the Regional Ecotourism Committee X (REC X) member agencies namely the DOT X and Department of Environment and Natural resources X (DENR X). (Table 59)

Accreditation To maintain high standard of local tourism facilities, services and products, the DOT-X as mandated to implement programs and projects that would attain globally competitive and innovative tourism industry, continually advocated and required tourism-related establishments and entities to be DOT-accredited. An accredited establishment is issued by the DOT with a certificate recognizing the holder as having complied with the minimum standards in the operation of the establishment concerned, which shall ensure the safety, comfort, and convenience of the tourist.4 Currently, there are a total of 62 DOT-accredited tourism-related establishments in the region as shown on Table 60.

PRIORITY ACTION AREAS

Despite the achievements the sector had for 2014, there remain a number of concerns and challenges that need to be addressed to attain the desired outcomes.

A. Sector Outcome 1: Improved Productivity and Competitiveness of the Industry and Services Sector Investments Support the establishment and operationalization of the Go Negosyo Center. Republic Act (RA) 10644 otherwise known as the “Go Negosyo Act” which was signed into law by President Benigno on July 15, 2014 mandates the establishment of “Negosyo Center” in all provinces, cities and municipalities – which shall be responsible for promoting ease of doing business and facilitating access to services for MSMEs. Intensify efforts on the streamlining of the Business Processing and Licensing System (BPLS) of the local government units. The BPLS aims to simplify and improve business licensing processes and enable greater competitiveness, productivity and investment in the region and the country in general. Further boost agri-industrialization in key resource/production areas in the region through the establishment of agri-industrial/processing centers to be placed in strategic locations to maximize utilization. Enhance linkages of production areas to market/industrial areas through provision of appropriate infrastructure support facilities.

Export ASEAN Economic Cooperation (AEC) Continue to prepare the sector to sustain and improve competitiveness, as well as, take advantage of the opportunities relative to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Integration through provision of technical assistance, advocacy/IEC campaigns and implementation of relevant programs and projects that will cater to various industry/service requirements of MSMEs (e.g., establishment of common service facilities, accreditation of laboratories to international standards). Further, assist MSMEs to align its operations to international standards such as that of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Under the AEC, the country’s agricultural products such as rice, sugar, live swine, live chicken, meat of swine, meat of chicken, manioc (cassava) and sweet potatoes, and corn are exempt from duty elimination. Region 10 is among the top producer of poultry, livestock, rice and corn, hence, opportunities for export is big. 69

Regional Development Report 2014

European Union-Generalised Scheme of Preference + (EU-GSP+) The GSP is an autonomous trade arrangement under which the EU grants non-reciprocal trade preferences to exports of beneficiary countries under the following arrangements: Regular GSP – offers zero duty or 3.5% reduction on Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariffs; GSP+ - is a special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance in the form of zero duties; and, Everything but Arms (EBA) – offers duty-free and quota-free access except arms and ammunitions. The Philippines was a beneficiary under the Regular GSP arrangement and on December 25, 2014, has entered into force of EU Parliament decision on PH as a GSP+ Beneficiary Country. The Philippines is the only ASEAN country granted the GSP+. Potential Benefit of GSP+ includes increase of the country’s export, as more products will be accorded zero duty. Among the products that will benefit from EU and also top export commodities of the region are coconut-based products and pineapples. This is expected to generate jobs particularly in agriculture and manufacturing sectors. In view of the foregoing, there are trade opportunities under this scheme that the MSMEs need to take advantage of and for the national government agencies to ensure that needed support are in place to encourage the latter to export their products to EU. There is also a need look into restrictive local laws that make it difficult for MSMEs/exporters to do business in foreign markets despite that international markets have open various trade opportunities for the country.

B. Sector Outcome 2: Globally Competitive and Innovative Tourism Industry Encourage development of diverse destinations and attractions. Diverse tourism destinations and attractions will entice a wide range of market. This development is regarded an appropriate response to the economy of rural areas with potential tourism endowments. The region is enriched with a variety of attractions and adventure products that would greatly boost the tourism industry. Public sector to provide the necessary support for a more dynamic private sector partnership in implementing strategic tourism investments/activities and putting in place globally competitive facilities and services. Intensify efforts to encourage tourism-related establishments to be DOT-accredited in order to maintain high standard of local tourism facilities, services and products. The need to strengthen data gathering for planning purposes, as well as, to formulate appropriate interventions to further development the sector in the region.

Chapter 5. Environment and Sustainable Development

Regional Development Report 2014

I. Assessment During the year in review, two major accomplishments have been achieved toward management of the region’s natural resources in order to address the challenges of climate change and ensure resiliency of communities and people to risks and disasters. These efforts were pursued, firstly, through reforestation activities under the National Greening Program (NGP) and, secondly, through more focused watershed management strategy that is anchored on integrated river basin planning approach. The NGP was established by the President through Executive Order No. 26 issued on 24 February 2011 to support the State’s policy on sustainable development for poverty reduction, food security, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. As the country’s flagship program on reforestation, NGP targets the planting of 1.5 billion trees in about 1.5 million hectares (has) for six years covering the period 2011 until 2016 in lands of the public domain throughout the country. At the regional level, during the period 2011 to 2014, a total of 65,675 hectares of public lands have been reforested/planted to various tree and commercial species, which was more than twice of the total NGP target of the region totalling 30,322 has. In terms of survival rate by year, the planted species in years 2011 and 2012 have posted 95% survival rate, while for 2013 the running survival rate was reported at 87%. In addition to NGP, the region also pursued sustainable management of its own watershed resources and those river basins that it co-shares with nearby administrative regions through the finalization and adoption of the four (4) river basin management and development master plans. These master plans are for the (1) Cagayan de Oro River Basin, (2) Tagoloan River Basin, (3) Ranao Agus River Basin, and (4) Davao River Basin. Two river basins within the administrative coverage of Region X, namely, Cagayan de Oro and Tagoloan river basins, collectively covers 317,487 has. Meanwhile, the two river basins co-shared by Region X with other regions, namely, Ranao (Agus) river basin in Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and Davao river basin in Region XI (Davao Region) consist a total of 374,669 has, of which 36% (65,860 has) of the watersheds are located within Region X.

A. Forest/Upland Ecosystem The region has 10 protected sites consisting of seven proclaimed areas (by presidential action) and three declared areas (by congressional legislation but with prior presidential proclamation). Of the seven proclaimed protected areas, three have been delineated in 2014 for their boundary and land use allocation registering an aggregate of 132 kilometers (kms). These are Mt Balatukan and Mt Inayawan natural parks, located respectively in Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte, and Baliangao protected landscape and seascape (PLS), located in Misamis Occidental. Meanwhile, a total of 30 kms in Mt Kitanglad and Mt Malindang range natural parks, two of the region’s three declared protected sites, have been demarcated and/or mapped to help ensure effective management of resources in the sites. In terms of managing the region’s natural assets, forest land use plan (FLUP) activities have been undertaken in seven local government units (LGUs). These LGUs that have prepared first draft of their respective FLUP are the municipalities of (1) Tudela and Clarin in Misamis Occidental; (2) Impasugong, (3) Sumilao, and (4) San Fernando in Bukidnon; (6) Opol in Misamis Oriental; and (7) Ozamiz City.

76

Chapter 5: Environment and Sustainable Development In addition, efforts have been sustained toward integrated watershed management planning. During the year, plan preparation has started for the 4.15 has Iponan watershed that covers the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan and municipality of Opol, Misamis Oriental. Activities were also conducted for watershed characterization of the 6,845 has Molugan watershed, located in El Salvador City.

B. Urban Ecosystem The management of ecological solid waste continues to be a major challenge in the region. The NSWMC estimates for 2014 show that the region will generate wastes at 1,754.13 tons per day. Solid waste generated in urban areas in the country is estimated at .5 kilogram/person/day (World Bank 2012). As of August 2014, 25 out of the region’s 98 provincial, city and municipal LGUs have submitted their respective 10-year solid waste management plan (SWMP), representing 25.51% compliance rate. RA 9003 signed into law in 2000 mandates these LGUs to formulate their respective SWMP within 10 years of the law’s enactment. The law also calls for closure of open dumpsites and their replacement by sanitary landfills. Almost all of the SWMPs of these LGUs have been conditionally approved by the National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC). Among the region’s compliant LGUs, only the Municipality of Quezon, Bukidnon has approved SWMP. At the national level, the region shares 4.26% of the 587 provincial/city/municipal LGUs who have submitted SWMPs to NSWMC.

C. Freshwater, Coastal, and Marine Ecosystem During the year in review, three Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been pilot tested for coral conservation under the Sustainable Coral Reef Ecosystem Management Program, representing 150% accomplishment versus the targeted 2 MPA sites for 2014. Activities toward the establishment of Water Quality Management Areas (WQMAs) of major watersheds in the region were undertaken for Cagayan de Oro River Basin and Adjacent Rivers, Iponan River Watershed, Opol watershed, Bulanog river, and Cugman watershed. Initial findings from these studies suggest the need for immediate intervention to minimize the level of contamination of some of these water bodies and avoid further degradation of water quality in these systems. Non-conformance and/or exceedance levels vis-à-vis water quality standards have been noted for fecal coliform accumulation, high levels of total suspended and/or dissolved solids (TSS/TDS), water temperature rise, among other parameters, that render water in these areas to be threat to human health and overall biodiversity system.

D. Ecosystems Research and Development In terms of building up capability for science-based resource management policy formulation, four studies were completed in 2014. These studies are (1) Vulnerability Assessment of Selected Watershed in Region 10, (2) Rehabilitation strategies for Important Tree Species in Selected Parks and Roadside Plantations, (3) Science and Technology Interventions on Propagation and Plantation Establishment of Giant Bamboo and, (4) Assessment of Solid Waste Management Schemes in Selected Subdivisions and Condominiums in Major Cities of the Country for Environmental Protection and Conservation.

Policy Action Areas

1. Intensive efforts must be pursued to ensure compliance to RA 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000) of provincial, municipal, and city LGUs in the region to submit their respective Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (ESWMP). The law also directs the closure of open dumpsites and their replacement by sanitary landfills. The Plan is expected to provide direction to LGUs in their solid waste management activities. Non-extendable deadline for these LGUs to comply with the requirement is eyed to be implemented by NSWMC in mid-2015, under legal sanctions as may be appropriate for non-compliant LGUs. 2. Accelerate the establishment of Water Quality Management Areas (WQMAs) in the region and expand the coverage of assessments to include other water bodies in the region that are outside of the regional capital in Cagayan de Oro City.

Chapter 6. Well-Being and Improved Welfare

Regional Development Report 2014

I. Assessment A. Achieving better health outcomes, fair health financing and responsive health system The Regional Development Plan, particularly the Results Matrix identified targets of several health-related indicators including those in the 2015 Millennium Development Goals. The performance of the health subsector during the period, 2012-2014 showed improvements in few indicators and lagging in most targets (Table 61). The region was able to eliminate incidence of malaria in 2013-2014. The percentage of births assisted by skilled attendants slightly increased from 79.07 percent in 2012 to 83.50 percent in 2014, although lower than the MDG target in 2015 of 90 percent (Table 62). Health insurance or PhiHealth coverage in 2014 reached 98 percent in 2014, almost hitting the MDG and plan target of 100 percent. The ratio of Botika ng Barangay of 1:2 was maintained from 2012 to 2014. The prevalence of underweight children of 5.09 in 2014, is an improvement from the previous years ( 5.77 percent in 2012 and 5.32 percent in 2014). The health indicators which fell short of the MDG and plan targets and below the baseline data in 2012 are the following: maternal mortality rate in year 2014 was 76.83 per 100,000 livebirths which is quite far from the target for the year of 60 and the 2015 MDG target of 52. The pre and post-natal coverage which a little over than 70 percent were lower than the plan ( 70-80 %) and MDG (95%) targets. Contraceptive prevalence rate (all methods) at 51.06 percent in 2014, although higher from the baseline data in 2012 of 38.07 percent, is far below the MDG target of 100 percent. Facility-based deliveries at 73.20 percent, is likewise below the target for the year (75%) and MDG target (90%). Expected reductions in infant mortality and under five mortality rates in 2014 from the baseline data in 2012 were not realized, and thus below the plan and MDG targets. Other indicators which posted declining coverage: proportion of immunization of mothers against tetanus and fully immunized children. Other indicators that have to be improved/increased to meet the plan and MDG targets include access to sanitary toilet facilities and access to safe water supply. Crude death rate in the region increased from 2.43 per 1,000 population in 2013 to 4.55 percent in 2014. Meanwhile, crude birth rate was 22.28 per 1,000 population in 2013 to 22.72 in 2014. With the health manpower to population ratios still below the standards (Table 62), human resource augmentation programs were implemented such as the Doctor to the Barrios (DTTB), Registered Nurses for Health Enhancement and Local Service (RN HEALS)/Nurse Deployment Program (NDP) and Rural Health Midwives Placement Program (RHMPP). This has to be sustained with the LGUs taking the helm in strengthening the pool of health personnel through capacity building and the implementation of the Magna Carta for Health Workers.

Chapter 6: Well-Being and Improved Welfare

B. Improving access to shelter security Housing Production A total of 3,4165 housing units were delivered in 2014 (Table 63). This is a 13.6 percent increase from the baseline data in 2011 of 3,008 units. However, this is a drastic reduction by 60.5 percent from last year’s accomplishment of 8,659 units when bulk of the shelter assistance to TS Sendong affected families was completed. Coupled with the housing units produced in 2013, this is a mere 21.7 percent of the 2016 end-of-plan target of 55,567 units. Of all the forms of direct housing assistance under the National Shelter Program, the AFP/PNP Housing Program, Community Mortgage Program and TS Sendong Resettlement Program posted optimistic performance with 104.7, 39.6 and 38.3 percent accomplishments against end-of- plan targets, respectively. The Socialized Housing Program and the Community-Based Housing Program will have to fast track implementation for only achieving 4.6 and 2.6 percent of the endof-plan targets, respectively. Based on the Strategic Action Plan for the Rehabilitation and Recovery of Areas Affected by TS Sendong, 40,005 units were proposed to be constructed using all funding source in the three affected provinces (Bukidnon, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental). After thorough validation and with available land, this narrowed down to 21,293 housing units already with funding commitments. From 2012 to 2014, the government and private sector produced a total of 12,244 houses (or 57.5% of target) for the affected families in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan and in the province of Bukidnon.

Other Housing Assistance For indirect housing provision, a total of 27 certificates of registration and 46 licenses to sell were issued in 2014. These were 42.1 and 24.3 percent increase from last year’s accomplishments of 19 and 37 issuances, respectively. Relative to the baseline data in 2011 of 10 issuances of certificates of registration and 10 licenses to sell, this is a substantial increase by 170 and 360 percent, respectively. The significant increase in the subdivision plan processing was primarily because of the booming real estate business in Cagayan de Oro City. To manage urban development, a total of 63 LGUs were assisted in the updating of their Comprehensive Land Use Plans, which exceeded the end-of-plan target of 36 LGUs. This is because majority of the CLUPs are due for updating, coupled with the urgent need to mainstream DRR/CCA in the local plans. To provide security of tenure to the informal sector, 11,385 urban poor families were assisted with their application to the Socialized Housing Program particularly for the Local Housing Fund of the NHA. This is a significant improvement compared to the 2012 accomplishment of 7,058 families. With the current trend, more urban poor families will be provided assistance for it has achieved 60.4 percent of its 2016 targets.

Regional Development Report 2014

Collection Collection from housing loan amortization totalled to PHP 1.197 billion in 2014 which is marginally less than last year’s collection of PHP 1.200 billion. The HDMF comprised the bulk of the total collection at 89.24 percent.

Challenges The low performance of the housing sector was primarily due to the lack of affordable land for the proposed housing sites. Adding to that is the sudden changes of sites due to issues along titling/land ownership and recent findings that said areas are not suitable for settlements. Also, government spending was prioritized for the rehabilitation of the Visayas region which was badly hit by super typhoon Yolanda. With the continuing monitoring of the TS Sendong resettlement sites in the region, the beneficiaries testified that their living conditions are better than before because they now have their own houses and live within a community. However, there are still concerns that need to be addressed to further improve and sustain their living conditions such as access to basic social services (e.g. health, education), water system, power and livelihood, as well as peace and order. The establishment of additional resettlement sites is dependent on the availability of land. Thus, the LGUs are encouraged to do land banking as early as now to prepare for the inevitable increase of families needing safe shelter. Despite Pag-IBIG’s reduction of interest rate to 4.5 percent, the targeted market/sectors have not availed of the loan package. This is supported by the reduction of 29.3 percent since 2013 in the availment of socialized housing loan. With this, the government should provide more incentives for developers to invest in socialized housing.

C. Empowering and protecting the poor and vulnerable from risks The adoption of the Social Protection Framework in 2012 provides the guidelines, approaches and strategic measures to cover the specific target groups and address their vulnerabilities. Thus, several social protection mechanisms have been implemented by responsible agencies in close collaboration with the LGUs and other stakeholders.

Improving basic protection to the poor and marginalized sector The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) has become a core pillar of the government’s social protection strategy since its launch in 2008. The beneficiaries enjoy cash grants for health and education. In the region, the program is implemented in nine cities and 84 municipalities with 280,480 household beneficiaries with a total amount released of PHP 3.629 billion. All provinces have been fully saturated and exposed to the program except for the Cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro, wherein 0.80 percent of the remaining barangays still need to be covered. (Table 64 and Table 65) The household beneficiaries of the program exceeded the plan targets for the period 2013-2014.

82

Chapter 6: Well-Being and Improved Welfare The monthly instructional meeting at the Family Development Sessions (FDS) is a core intervention of the program. The conditionalities include transforming households’ beliefs, perceptions, attitudes, and practices about human capital investments, as well as responsible parenting, for the welfare of children. For the period 2012 to 2014, there have been adjustments in the number of household beneficiaries due to the implementation of the Grievance Redress System (GRS). The said system facilitates the delisting of beneficiaries due to non-eligibility, existing policies on inclusion error, fraud and waiving of rights to the program. Validation and field monitoring of the poor households listed in the database are vigorously pursued. The Modified Conditional Cash Transfer (MCCT) is implemented as an expansion of the 4Ps to reach out to homeless street families, indigenous peoples in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas, and families in need of special protection. The MCCT program has identified 19,697 grantees. Most of the MCCT beneficiaries in the region (Table 66) come from Bukidnon (32.28%) which has the highest population of indigenous peoples (IPs), followed by Misamis Oriental (26.85%), Lanao del Norte (25.59%), Misamis Occidental (13.12%), and Camiguin (2.17%). The 4Ps has expanded to cover 15 to 18-year-old eligible children-beneficiaries of the registered households starting June 2014. The expansion allows children-beneficiaries to graduate from high school under the K to12 program and eventually have better opportunities than those who only finished elementary. With the expansion of the age coverage, the assessment of the living condition of all household beneficiaries will commence in mid-year of 2015 to monitor the progress of poor families who are benefitting different programs and services directed to them. The Social Welfare and Development Indicators, a case management tool, will be utilized to measure the well-being of families in terms of economic sufficiency and social adequacy. The National Community Driven Development Program (NCDDP), formerly known as the KALAHICIDSS Program, was launched in May 2014 to empower communities and to facilitate inclusive participation and aid for greater access to basic social services. For the period June 2013 - June 2014, a total of 112 sub-projects were completed in 13 municipalities (11 in Lanao del Norte and 2 in Misamis Oriental) under the KALAHI-CIDSS (KC) program. In 2014, there are 21 municipalities covering 381 barangays and 60,564 households identified to implement the KC NCDDP (Table 67). The concerned Local Government Units underwent enrolment process as eligible areas to implement the NCDDP program. This is to ensure readiness of the LGU to carry out the program particularly their capacity to provide the required counterpart. The effort on the enrolment has been focused to the Yolanda Rehabilitation Disaster Response Operation Management which includes the priority municipalities of Mahinog, Catarman, Guinsiliban, and Mambajao in Camiguin; Malitbog, Bukidnon and Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte. For the period May-December 2014, 381 barangays underwent the empowerment activities that prepared them in the identification and development of the projects that will address their community needs. A total of 92 community projects were identified and prioritized by the seven municipalities under the Yolanda-affected areas. The development of isolated, hard-to-reach, and conflict-affected communities is pursued through the implementation of the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) to ensure that these areas are not left behind. Under PAMANA 2013-2014, a total of 128 sub-projects were 83

Regional Development Report 2014 completed in the eight municipalities in Lanao del Norte (Kauswagan, Poona Piagapo, Tangkal, Tagoloan, Pantao Ragat, Salvador and Magsaysay) identified as PAMANA areas benefitting 33,004 households. Likewise, a total of 76 projects were completed under the 2014-2015 implementation.

Increasing opportunity for livelihood activities The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) complements the cash grants provided to the 4Ps beneficiaries to improve their socio-economic status by creating more employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. As a community-based capacity building program, it increases the economic opportunities of the families through the different modalities that it offers such as skills training, seed capital fund, pre-employment assistance fund, and the cash for building livelihood assets. The program is implemented through the community-driven enterprise development approach, which equips program participants to actively contribute to production and labor markets by looking at available resources and accessible markets. The SLP has served a total of 46,215 households (HHs) in the region, 83 percent (38,239 HHs) under the Micro-Enterprise Development modality, two percent (1,053 HHs) provided employment facilitation, and 15 percent (146,923 HHs) completed technical/vocational skills training. The program beneficiaries were linked with public and private partners for either microenterprise development or employment facilitation. A total of 17 Public Private Partnership s were forged in 2014. The DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP) has provided various livelihood assistance to some 17,794 beneficiaries in the region. It seeks to reduce poverty by promoting livelihood and entrepreneurship, and transforming vulnerable sectors to engage in community enterprises. Meanwhile, the overseas workers are continually provided with government services that seek to protect their rights and promote their welfare. A total of 231 Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) returnees were provided with PHP10,000 livelihood assistance (per OFW) through the National Reintegration Center for OFWs facilitated by the DOLE. This program provides OFW returnees who are displaced, distressed and undocumented and their families to start micro-business or expand existing business and become self-sustaining. Likewise, the OWWA provided livelihood assistance to 301 OFWs under its programs on Balik-Pinas, Balik-Hanapbuhay, and PHP 2-B National Reintegration Program with a disbursed amount of PHP8.872 million.

Enhancing social safety nets The implementation of social safety nets seeks to provide urgent responses or measures for relief and transition of specific vulnerable groups. As of 2014, the Social Pension Program (SPP) served 19,417 indigent senior citizens (Table 68) with a total of PHP 75.084 million funds released. The social pension beneficiaries increased by 47 percent between 2012-2014 and also higher than plan targets. The beneficiaries are those registered in the NHTS-PR database (21%), as well as non-NHTS-PR registered (78%). In 2014, the Supplementary Feeding Program served a total of 133,229 day care children in 3,255 day care centers across the 93 LGUs in the region. In the same period, a total of PHP180.070 million was obligated and transferred to the participating LGUs. Based on the 118,988 day care children weighed upon the start of the 120 days, 9.65 percent of the children are malnourished while 1.6 percent dropped out during the implementation of the program while the school is ongoing. 84

Chapter 6: Well-Being and Improved Welfare The Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged workers or TUPAD has provided short-term wage employment as immediate source of income to some 2,390 beneficiaries and their families (One member per household in a year). Meanwhile, the DOLE Government Internship Program (GIP), an improved and expanded version of the GIP under Executive Order No. 139 (s. 1993), has generated some 2,293 youth beneficiaries, ages 18-25 years old for three to six months internship agreement. Protection and provision of support for trafficked persons was undertaken to ensure their recovery and reintegration. A total of 74 individuals were served in 2014. There were 35,665 clients provided with financial assistance for medical, education, burial and transportation. The Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation Program provides financial assistance either in cash or guarantee letter (to service providers) to individuals and families whose normal functioning has been hampered due to stressful situations brought about by socio-economic difficulties.

D. Improving access to asset reform As of December 2014, there are 174 Agrarian Reform Communities, 341 Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Organizations (ARBOs) with 231,210 households who availed the support services projects implemented within the region. Out of the 20,091 hectares targeted for Land Acquisition and Distribution, only 87 percent (17,406 has.) of the target were distributed to 5,979 farmer beneficiaries. Leasehold Operation covered 1,656 hectares (Table 70). In the resolution of Agrarian Law Implementation cases under Agrarian Justice Delivery, there are 3,235 cases resolved that comprised the adjudication of Agrarian Cases and Agrarian Legal Assistance. The enforcement of aggressive alternative dispute resolution of cases quantifies to lesser court and the Department of Agrarian Reform Adjudication Board (DARAB) cases. The provision of technical assistance and support services projects to the Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) were continuously pursued as part of the program beneficiaries development which seeks to increase household income and improve resiliency (Table 71).

Protecting the rights of the Indigenous Peoples Region 10 serves nine major tribes with the Province of Bukidnon having the most number of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) population and where the seven major tribes belong: Higaonon, Bukidnon, Matigsalug, Umayamnon, Manobo, Tigwahanon and Manobo. Other tribes in the region include the Subanen (Misamis Occidental), Kamiguinon (Camiguin) and Higaonon for the rest of Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte. Technical assistance in the conduct social preparation activities to the 50 CADTs, mostly from the Province of Bukidnon for the Manobo, Higaonon, Bukidnon, Umayamnon and Tigwahanon tribes was provided by the NCIP-X. Other tribes in Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental were also assisted in their CADT related-concerns including resolution of issues, documentation of proofs, segregation of title properties and social preparation activities. Policy Formulation for the Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP) of Ozamiz City CADT and Rogongon CADT were also facilitated, which is only 29 percent of the targeted number of ADSDPPs for 2014. The ADSDPP guides the identification and 85

Regional Development Report 2014 implementation of programs and projects to strengthen self-governance, reduce poverty, protect the environment and cultural integrity. Along the Educational Assistance Program, only 788 IP students out of the 2,500 targeted scholars (31.5%) were provided with scholarships due to the limited budget of the NCIP. Likewise, a total of 50 IP clients were provided legal assistance to enforce their rights to resolve conflicts in accordance with their customary laws.

C. Empowering and protecting the poor and vulnerable from risks 



The database of program beneficiaries needs to be validated and updated for better targeting and coverage. The conduct of the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) Second Round Assessment is timely to come up with an improved standard list of poor households who should be the priority beneficiaries of all poverty reduction programs and services. Strengthen convergence of poverty reduction programs and services to achieve improved quality of life particularly to the poor families. The various government agencies should 87

be able to complement other programs and services provided to the poor families to improve capacities and self-sufficiency. Assessment of the living condition of program beneficiaries (e.g. Pantawid Pamilya) to determine the impact of the programs and services provided to the poor households.

D. Improving access to asset reform 

Formulate the Regional Indigenous Peoples Framework to guide the provision of assistance and protection of the rights of the IPs. The framework further ensures that IPs are informed, meaningfully consulted and mobilized to participate in the identification, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of projects; Fast-track the formulation of ADSDPPs to guide the IPs/tribes in the development and protection of their lands; Increase farmer’s income and productivity through capacity-building, enterprise development and rural infrastructure; and Fast track land acquisition and distribution of land titles to ensure security of tenure.

Chapter 7. Agriculture and Fishery

Regional Development Report 2014

I. Assessment The volume of production in the agriculture and fishery sector grew by 4.12 percent from 10,287,588 metric tons in 2013 to 10,711,734 metric tons in 2014 (Table 7.1). The sector’s growth was contributed by the production increments in all subsectors led by crops with its 4.22 percent increase, followed by livestock and poultry and fisheries subsectors at 2.91 and 1.08 present, respectively. The crops subsector which shared 94.7 percent of the sector’s total production grew by 4.22 percent during the year. Production of palay went up by 5.76 percent and that of corn, by 0.97 percent. Notable gains were also recorded for coconut, sugarcane, pineapple, and banana. Increase in sugarcane was attributed to expansion of harvested areas in Bukidnon. Meanwhile, the increase in area harvested of pineapple was the result of expansion in corporate farms during the year. Livestock and poultry subsector increased by 2.91 percent. It contributed 3.8 percent to total agricultural output. All components of the subsector registered output gains in 2014. Fisheries production inched up by 1.08 percent in 2014. The subsector accounted for 1.5 percent of total agricultural output. (Table 72)

A. Palay Palay production grew by 5.8 percent, reaching 713,764 metric tons in 2014 from 674,903 metric tons in 2013 (Table 73). Production levels in most provinces grew during the year, led by Misamis Occidental and Bukidnon. Annual average yield increased by 4.15 percent in irrigated areas and 1.59 percent in rainfed areas. Bukidnon posted the highest yield in irrigated palay at 5.40 MT/Ha., followed by Lanao del Norte at 3.40 MT/Ha. The region’s average palay yield in 2014 improved to 4.42 MT/Ha. from 4.26 MT/Ha. in the previous year. Palay sufficiency level was estimated at 81 percent, eight percentage points higher than the 73 percent in 2013, but lower than the RDP’s 100 percent target for 2014 by 19 percentage points. Higher output and farm gate price pushed up the gross value of palay by 21.47 percent reaching PhP 13.854 billion. Between the four-year period, palay production grew by 5.03 percent from 586,442 metric tons in 2010 to 713,764 metric tons in 2014. The region’s 2014 production is 85 percent of the RDP’s end-of-plan target harvest level of 838,100 metric tons. Its yield was higher by 0.33 MT/ha. than that of 2010 and a little lower than the 2016 target yield by 0.53 MT/ha.

98

Chapter 7: Agriculture and Fishery

B. Corn A 13-percent increase in white corn output pushed the total corn production in 2014 to 1,196,542 metric tons, which exceeded the last year’s level by almost one percent (Table 74). Bukidnon, which accounted for 67 percent of the region’s total corn production, recorded a 0.17percent increase. The increase in area harvested for both white and yellow corn in most provinces, especially in Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental, also contributed much to the overall production increase. During the year, corn farmers were encouraged to plant due to the availability of low-cost high yielding “sigue-sigue” seed variety for both yellow and white corn, specifically, in Bukidnon and Misamis Occidental. In addition, timely availability of rainfall and seed support of modern OPV from the LGUs facilitated the growing of corn. Corn production grew minimally at less than one percent between 2010-2014. The total corn production in 2014 was 76 percent of the RDP’s end of plan (i.e., 2016) target volume. The 2014 productivity level was 0.04 MT/ha higher than the 3.15 MT/Ha. of 2010 and 1.16 metric tons per hectare lower than the end of the plan (2016) target of 4.35 MT/Ha. Corn sufficiency level in 2014 was 130 percent, which exceeded the end of plan target by 53 percentage points.

C. Major Crops The annual production of major crops grew by 4.4 percent as the volume increased from 7,475,685 metric tons in 2013 to 7,807,646 metric tons in 2014 (Table 75). Volume of palm fruit production climbed to 38,620 MT in 2014 from 35,180 MT in 2013 or a growth of 10 percent . The higher banana production in 2014 was the result of increases in area and bearing trees harvested in response to higher demand from local and export markets. Meanwhile, the increase in area harvest for cabbage in Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon was attributed to the higher prices and increased demand from other regions, including Metro Manila. Production of abaca went up by 28.7 percent. This was traced to the increased harvesting and stripping due to good price and higher demand for abaca fiber in Misamis Oriental. Rubber production grew by 5.4 percent. Continued increases in the number of tapped trees were noted during the year.

99

Regional Development Report 2014

D. Livestock and Poultry Production Livestock and poultry subsector, which accounted for 3.8 percent of the total agricultural output grew by 2.91 percent (Table 76). Swine and chicken, which comprised 75 percent of the regional livestock and production, grew by 2.65 and 3.36 percent, respectively. Its good price at the onset of the year resulted in relatively higher swine production of the region. Cattle ranked second in terms of production growth at 3.18 percent. As of January 1, 2015, the total inventory of livestock and poultry stood at 20,503,648 heads and birds, which was 0.56 percent higher than the inventory as of January 1, 2014 (Table 77). Except for carabao, chicken, and duck, the rest of the animals posted slight declines in inventory as of January 1, 2015 vis-à-vis that of the prior year.

E. Fish Production The Fisheries subsector, which shared 1.48 percent to the total agricultural output, grew by 1.08 percent in 2014 (Table 78). All the three sectors posted modest gains led by municipal fisheries at almost two percent. The abundance of in season species during the year contributed much to the favorable performance of the municipal fisheries.

F. Programs, Projects and Activities Mindanao/Philippine Rural Development Program 2 (MRDP2) With its last year of implementation, MRDP2 has brought remarkable accomplishments boosting the region’s countryside development. A total of 125 MRDP rural infrastructure subprojects costing PhP888.89 million were completed as of December 2014 producing the following outputs: a) 337.22 kilometers farm-to-market roads; b) 36-linear meter bridge project: c) 990 hectares irrigation projects; d) nine units potable water supply; and e) 18 units of other infra projects. Under the MRDP’s Community Fund for Agricultural Development (CFAD), which aims to empower communities through the provision of technical assistance, post-harvest facilities and funds for livelihood projects, a total of 815 CFAD projects were completed amounting to PhP252.50 million. Under the Natural Resource Management (NRM) component, PhP 28 million worth of 14 NRM projects were completed as of December 2014.

Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP) As a sequel of MRDP, the Philippine Rural Development Program was initially started in the later part of 2014. As of December 2014, a total of PhP743 million worth of PRDP I-BUILD (Intensified Building Up of Infrastructure and Logistics for Development) subprojects were approved for Region X. Php 183 million worth of subjects were on-going during its first year of project implementation and about Php 14.8 billion worth of subprojects were in the pipeline for the 2nd year of its project implementation. The approval of the LGUs endorsed subprojects was based on the value chain study results and expanded vulnerability and sustainability assessment results.

Regional Development Report 2014 The 10th Philippine National Corn Congress (PNCC), with its theme ““Corn Farming in the ASEAN Integration: Maximizing Opportunities” conducted on November 17-21, 2014 highlighted the agri-machinery show and exhibits on various farm mechanization technology demonstration and display for corn farming needs. Mini seminars and demonstrations on compact corn mill and cassava digger, machine vision for corn and pneumatic corn planter, and other farm equipment and technologies were, likewise, conducted during said congress. Another big event undertaken in the region was the 10th Mindanao-wide PAFC (Provincial Agriculture and Fishery Council) Summit with the theme Enhancing Food Security in Mindanao through strong partnership between government and private sector towards ASEAN Integration. Said summit was aimed at preparing the farmers and fisher folks for the upcoming ASEAN integration based on the present agri-fishery situation in Mindanao (i.e., climate change, present coconut industry situation, coco levy updates, among others). During the year, several education and training services were vigorously undertaken in the region:  Conducted 243 trainings and training-related events participated/attended by 6,356 farmers and fisherfolk from various municipalities regionwide;  Distributed 36,360 pieces of information and advocacy metrials on production-related technologies and organic agriculture awareness;  Broadcasted 25 informercials on agriculture and conducted information caravan in the provinces to promote the department’s programs and services; and  Provided logistics support to Agri Extension Workers through incentives and trainings.

School-on-the-Air (SOA) Program The SOA program was continuously undertaken in consonance with the DA-X’s initiative in educating the farmers on the latest farming technologies that will help improve productivity and income. A three-month long SOA Program on cassava production, processing and marketing, as well as, on livestock production and processing was conducted during the year. The SOA program produced 203 farmer-graduates from Misamis Occidental and 216 from Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental.

Research and Development The region continuously conducted researches to ensure sustainable food security and promote internationally competitive agribusiness and fishery sector:  Conducted 13 researches on techno commercialization, applied research, animal health, sustainable agriculture, and community-based participatory research; and  Established 49 sites in the development and adoption of Next-Gen rice varieties. In addition, more than 20 product lines were developed in the form of crunches, chips, wines, confectionaries, cereal meal, energy drinks, soap and other product made of adlay, corn, sweet potato, white potato, and soybean. These value-added products ensure more than two-folds return on investment.

The project benefitted 15,222 households, 440 farmers and 250 fisherfolk in 33 barangays from the municipalities of Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, and Bukidnon. Livestock livelihood projects were also granted to the beneficiaries during the year:  14 heads of carabao amounting to PhP347,200.00 were given to eight beneficiaries from Kauswagan and three from Munai, Lanao del Norte; and  Five packets of goat and one packet of sheep were also given to rebel returnees residing in the same municipalities

Agri Equipment and Postharvest Facilities With the department’s major programs, various equipment and postharvest facilities were provided to the farmers through the local government units:  granted one unit farm tractor to PLGU-MisOr as a reward to the province for winning the Quality Corn Achievers Award;  49 mechanized thresher;  53 power tillers;  23 cassava granulators cum shredders;  11 corn tractors and 4 cassava tractors;  10 corn mechanical shellers;  16,000 laminated sacks;  278 collapsible dryer cases; and  62 simple seed processing equipment Under the bottom-up-budgeting, three BuB projects have been completed/granted during the year (i.e. farm-to-market road; multi-purpose drying pavement; and farm tractor) benefitting more than 500 farmers and residents.

Fishery Support Services In its effort to conserve, protect, and sustain development of the region’s fisheries and aquatic resources, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources accomplished the following in 2014:  established five integrated farms (rice-fish technology) as demonstration project and technology transfer to the LGUs and distributed two sets of processing utensils to SUCs;  turned-over 675 units of Bottom Set Gill Net (BSGN) for the Typhoon Sendong victims from the JICA’s Non-Grant Aid Project; and  distributed 393 units of fishing gears/paraphernalia such as BSGN, hook and lines, motorized and non-motorized banca, payao, multiple handlines, and squid jigger to fisherfolk beneficiaries A total of 16.77 million Tilapia fingerlings were produced and distributed through the existing Regional Fish seed productions for GET EXCEL Tilapia in Kisolon, Bukidnon and Lala, Lanao del 103

Regional Development Report 2014 Norte. The Sagay Multi-Species Hatchery bangus fingerling production exceeded three million bangus fry which were distributed in Lala, Lanao del Norte. Continuing rehabilitation of the coastal areas in Northern Mindanao under the Philippine National Aquasilviculture Project (PNAP) was undertaken. A total of 135,020 mangrove propagules were planted for the protection and conservation of fish habitat and sustainable use of fisheries resources. To ensure an integrated Baywide Management, BFAR 10 initiated the reactivation of the Panguil Bay Development Council (PBDC). Likewise, supported the activities of the Iligan Bay Alliance of Misamis Occidental (IBAMO); Macajalar Bay Development Council (MBDA); Gingoog Bay Development Alliance (GBDA); and Murciellagos Bay with BFAR 9. A total of 58,369 fisherfolk in Region 10 were registered under the National Program for Municipal Fisherfolk Registration (FISHR). This undertaking will facilitate in coming up with a national database necessary in designing programs to aid the local municipalities for the conservation, regulation and protection of fishery resources.

II.

Priority Action Areas/Concerns

While the general performance of the agriculture and fishery sector was positive and a number of supporting programs, projects and activities were implemented, the following remain the challenges the sector has to address:  Enhancement in the implementation of agri-related programs and projects through strong linkage/coordination between and among key players;  Improvement of the capacity of LGUs to ensure effective implementation of development programs and projects;  Expansion of agri production thru establishment of seed banks and nurseries;  Expansion of production of organic agri products in support to Organic Act implementation;  More accessible and affordable food commodities in the countryside thru DA’s Food Terminals;  FMD and AI-free livestock and poultry exports;  Increase in investment in HRD (agro entrepreneurship) for continuous education and human resource development;  Pursuit of value adding activities for agri-based products;  Preparation of the provincial commodity investment plan through value chain analysis for priority commodities;  Ensure strict implementation on fishery standards for local consumption;  Strengthening climate change interventions for agri and fishery sector  Enhancement of community based hatcheries and implement mangrove/aquasilviculture program; and,  Establishment of agri-food park in strategic areas to boost development in agriculture and fishery industries.

Chapter 8. Education and Youth Empowerment

Regional Development Report 2014

I. Assessment A. Improving access to quality basic education There have been improvements in the basic education indicators in 2014 as compared to the baseline data in 2011 and actual accomplishments in 2013 for enrollment, cohort survival, completion and achievement rates (Table 79). Although the kindergarten enrollment in 2014 of 102,255 pupils is below 18 percent of its target and 15 percent lower than baseline data in 2011, this is higher by five percent than the previous year. Enrollment in the elementary levels posted an increasing trend from 694,398 in 2011 to 816,853 in 2014. Although lower than the target in 2014, the secondary level enrollment posted a substantial increase of 34 percent between 2013 and 2014. The extensive implementation of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program6 (4Ps) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development notably contributed to the increase in enrollment. However, the parents are still more inclined to send their younger children to school and prefer their older children to already be actively working because of the much needed additional source of livelihood they could provide to the family. Cohort survival rates (CSR) levels posted an increasing trend from 2011 to 2014 for both elementary (65.12 % to 74.41%) and high school (69.57% to 75.65%). However, the 2014 CSRs are lower than the targets. Completion rates likewise increased in 2014 at around 72 percent from 62 percent in the elementary level and 65 percent in secondary level in 2011. However, the 2014 data fell short of the plan targets for the year. The National Achievement Test (NAT)7 mean percentage score (MPS) improved from only 69.52 (for all subjects) in 2011 to 73.14 in 2014, although slightly lower than its target of 74.0. In the secondary level, the MPS likewise improved during the same period, but its performance in 2014 of 55.0 is 12 percent below its target. Incentives for high performing schools of some local government units may have motivated the schools to exert more efforts in making their students perform better in NAT. With barely less than two years left in the implementation of the Regional Development Plan (RDP, 2011-2016), the Basic Education subsector is still way below its end-of-the-plan targets (except for the targeted increase in elementary enrollment, which was already surpassed by the 2014 level at 15.3 percent. Poor nutrition, early marriages, child labor, inadequate IP and SPED teachers, remoteness of schools, and unfavorable peace and order condition were among the observed major causes why the basic education subsector was not able to achieve its targets for 2014.

6

4Ps is a poverty reduction and social development strategy of the National Government that provides conditional cash grants to extremely poor households to improve their health, nutrition and education particularly of children aged 0-14. 7 The NAT is a standard measure of learners’ achievements to Grade Six (elementary) and Fourth year (secondary) students given by the Department of Education, which focuses on the quality of learning of the pupils across learning areas.

108

Chapter 8: Education and Youth Empowerment Highlights in 2014: The K to 12 Program. With K to 12 Program enacted into law in 2013, the Department of Education (DepEd) is now getting ready for the implementation of Senior High School (SHS) in SY 2016-2017. In Region X, the DepEd has already identified and mapped the 243 public high schools along with the private schools and other institutions regionwide set to offer Senior High School (SHS) in 2016. More than 133,000 students are estimated to enter SHS in 2016 , about 86 percent are expected to proceed to DepEd SHS, and the remaining 14 percent will enroll in non-DepEd providers such as private high schools, private higher education institutions, and state colleges/universities offering SHS. Public school students and Education Service Contracting (ESC) grantees who will enroll in non-DepEd SHS of their choice shall receive a subsidy from the government covering school fess through the proposed SHS Voucher Program of DepEd.8 An additional 2,840 SHS classrooms in the identified public high schools will commence construction in June 2015, which are targeted for completion by May 2016 – just in time for the opening of the SHS in June 2016. Correspondingly, 4,261 teachers will be hired to respond to the need of more teachers. More activities such as advocacy campaigns and planning workshops to capacitate school heads and would-be-teachers are lined up to ensure the successful implementation of the K to 12 Program. The new and enhanced K to 12 curriculum strives to develop the students holistically by providing them with 21st century skills: Information, Media and Technology Skills; Learning and Innovation Skills; Communication Skills and; Life and Career Skills.

B. Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) To contribute in the realization of inclusive growth, the TVET sector continuously strived for improved access to quality TVET services and strengthened partnerships for skills development and employment. During the period 2012-2014, most of the TVET indicators showed increasing and favorable performance (Table 80). Along TVIs compliance to TVET requirements and standards, accreditation of private assessment centers in 2014 reached 43 from only two in 2012. This is 113 percent higher than the plan target. The new program registration in TVET posted a reduction of 26 percent between 2013 and 2014 which is partly brought about by the migration of programs into the new Training Regulations. To ascertain compliance of registered programs according to prescribed procedures of the UTPRAS, a compliance audit is regularly conducted. The WTR-registered programs that were audited in 2014 reached 161 which is 322 percent above the target and four times higher than the previous year. Likewise, the TVET providers were strictly monitored in addressing their noncompliances to ensure closure of findings. For 2014, the percentage of TVET providers detected with accreditation condition breaches is only one percent. In 2014, a total of 267 trainers were issued with National TVET Trainers Certificate (NTTC) to facilitate delivery of quality TVET programs. An integral part of ensuring competency of workers is the certification of skilled workers. There were significant increases in the number of certified workers at 32,273 in 2014 and 31,890 in 2013. Thus, the certification rate increased to 87.5 percent in 2014 from only 84.3 percent in 2012. 8

“DepEd releases SHS permits to over 1,100 private schools.” (Source: http://www.deped.gov.ph/pressreleases/deped-releases-shs-permits-over-1100-private-schools)

109

Regional Development Report 2014 Along improved equity and access to TVET through training provision, strategic alliances and collaborative efforts among the stakeholders in 2014 generated a total of 105,313 skilled workers posting 14 percent increase from the previous year. The breakdown of the training performance in all training deliveries for the period is as follows: Community-based School-based Enterprise-based

- 76,762 graduates (24% increase from 2013) - 26, 384 graduates (2% decrease from 2013) - 2,167 graduates (31% decrease from 2013)

The reduction in school-based and enterprise-based training deliveries was due to the delay in the releases of scholarship slots and the low participation of the industries in the enterprisebased training deliveries like the Kasanayan sa Hanapbuhay (KASH) program and the Dual Training System (DTS). The Training for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP) posted significant increase from only 500 scholars in 2012 to 9,769 in 2014. Likewise, PESFA graduates increased to 1,219 in 2014 from the baseline of 890 in 2012. This is attributed to the REAL DEAL for TESD, together with the increased fund allocation for employment generation and Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP). The Special Training for Employment Program (STEP), which started in the last quarter of 2014, has also contributed to the widened access to TVET with 1,668 beneficiaries provided with toolkits and allowance. There were also several initiatives of the TVET sector which include the following: RX TVET Skills Supply Mapping to track the employment status updates of skilled workers or NC II holders and uploaded the data in the online TVET Labor Market Information (LMI) system; the institutionalization of the TVET LMI Council in Northern Mindanao; and the LEED thru STEPPS (collaboration of TESDA and DSWD) in which training on Housekeeping, Plumbing, Welding, Carpentry, Massage Therapy, Cookery, Beauty Care and Entrepreneurship will be conducted in the first quarter of 2015. Despite the achievements of the TVET sector, the following challenges are being encountered:  Delay in the approval of scholarship vouchers which resulted to the delay in the training program implementation;  Meeting the fast-changing industry skills demands/requirements particularly on higher competencies and responding to the needs of the K to 12 implementation such as the adoption of TVET (NC-I and NC-II respectively) in Junior and Senior High Schools;  Proliferation of TVET program offerings that are not highly-demanded by the local industries creating undue supply of unemployed graduates;  The lack of interest of TVET providers to offer agriculture-related TVET programs due to lack of enrollees;  Impediments in the coordinative arrangements with the LGUs for the BUB program implementation particularly on the Agency requirements for the LGUs;  Access road and peace and order situation to hinterlands and far-flung barangays needing TVET services;  The increased targets to deliver the TESD programs require more resources and support system; and  Improving access to TVET particularly the vulnerable and disadvantaged groups

Chapter 8: Education and Youth Empowerment

C. Higher Education The higher education sector for the period 2011-2014 puts primacy in quality education and early lifelong learning to respond to the human resource needs of both the domestic and international labor market. The region has a total of 81 higher education institutions (HEIs) in academic year (AY) 2013-2014 comprised of ten State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), six Local Universities and Colleges (LCUs), and 65 private higher education institutions (HEIs) (Table 81). The region’s enrolment in all disciplines reached 158,841 in AY 2013-2014. This is 119 percent higher than the plan target and a slight increase of 0.49 percent from the enrolment level in the previous year (Table 82). In the same period, the region produced a total of 22,302 graduates, which is five percent lower than the plan target and 14 percent lower than the previous year. The shift of students from one course to another due to poor performance or failure to meet the standards of the preferred or enrolled course contributed to the reduction of graduates. Other students opted to avail the scholarships offered in technical vocational courses to easily find overseas employment. To widen access to higher education, the Student Financial Assistance Program (StuFAP) awarded a total of 16,726 scholarships grants in 2014. This is 15 times higher than plan target and 430 percent higher than the previous year. This hefty increase is because all StuFAPs are now lodged in the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) regional offices including those under the Congressional District Offices, or the development assistance fund from the House of Representatives. In terms of ensuring quality, a total of 222 programs of HEIs were accredited in 2014, an increase of 35 percent from the previous year and 54 percent higher than plan target. Meanwhile, there were 238 programs evaluated and monitored for Policies, Standards and Guidelines compliance. This is a decrease of 61 percent from 2013, and 54 percent lower than plan target. The strict quality assurance, imposition of sanctions and other interventions, and recommendation of incentives resulted to the reduction in the conduct of inspections by the CHED. Supportive to the Faculty Development Program (FDP), scholarship grants for the faculty both for the Masteral and Doctoral degrees recorded increases at 52 percent and 30 percent, respectively. Likewise, the number of teachers who conducted researches increased to 15 percent as compared to the plan target and 2013 figure of both 10 percent. The challenges of the higher education sector include the K to 12 implementation which require readiness in the faculty, curriculum, equipment and facilities, apart from responding to the faculty and staff that will be affected with the reduction of college entrants starting 2016. To be able to seize the employment opportunities of the ASEAN Integration and meet the requirements of the world of work, it is critical to continuously improve quality, enhance access and equity in the higher education sector.

State Universities and Colleges/ Higher Education Institutions

111

Regional Development Report 2014 The region has now three higher education institutions (HEIs) with seven programs granted as Center of Excellence (COEs)9, while 8 HEIs with 15 programs granted as Center of Development (CODs)10. Among the ten state universities and colleges (SUCs), MSU-IIT has the highest number of COEs (4), and CODs (4), Central Mindanao University followed with three COEs and two CODs, Mindanao University of Science and Technology with two CODs, and Bukidnon State University with one COD. Among the private HEIs, Xavier University has the highest number of CODs (7), while Capitol University has one COE and two CODs (Table 83).

Priority Action Areas

A. Improving access to quality basic education “TAYO para sa Edukasyon,” a social brand initiative that calls all sectors of society to take a Stand for Education11 implies that each individual has the capacity to elevate his/her level of education whatever his/her economic status may be. Advocacy for universal education should be a living tagline not only for those directly involved in the provision of basic education but for all sectors of society, as well. The Basic Education subsector shall continue to intensify efforts in achieving universal basic education, such as, to create and sustain appropriate learning environment, widen access to learners with special needs and those in special circumstances, and the use of technology, as well as sound and responsive education management in expanding and improving quality and access.

Regional Development Report 2014

I. Assessment A. Enhanced critical mass of STI human resource in terms of quantity and quality The Department of Science and Technology-Region X Office remains in the forefront of the public sector’s efforts in attaining enhanced critical mass of STI (science, technology and innovation) human resource of the region in terms of quantity and quality. As of this time, it is hard to assess the progress the sector has accomplished in attaining this outcome based on the status of the indicators as specified in Chapter 9 Results Matrix of the Updated 2011-2016 RDP because data are not readily available. Nonetheless, accomplishment of the sector, primarily that of the DOST, in some programs and activities that are expected to contribute to the attainment of the outcome under review are cited in this report. These programs and activities included the following: (a) Undergraduate Scholarships; (b) Graduate Scholarships; (c) Regional Invention Contest and Exhibits (RICE); and, (d) Operations of research and development consortia.

Undergraduate Scholarships In 2014, DOST X facilitated the conduct of DOST-SEI’s (Science Education Institute) Project “Push for Science Campaign”, through multi-media and school-to-school caravan to encourage students to take both DOST-SEI Undergraduate and Philippine Science High School National Competitive Scholarship Examinations. This resulted to a total of 2,222 examinees for 2014, about eight percent (or 169) of them qualified for the scholarships (Figure 9.1). The number of the examinees and the qualifiers for 2014 were the highest in the period 2011-2014. It is worthwhile to note that the number of municipalities that do not have scholars yet in RegionX was down from 13 municipalities in 2013 to seven municipalities in 2014. It was reported that in 2014, a total of 740 scholars were enrolled in DOST-accredited universities in the Region. DOST-X, reportedly, assisted 169 qualifiers as new entrants to the program and supported 97 new graduates to become part of the highly skilled and globally competitive human resource under the national S&T programs.

Graduate Scholarships The Engineering Research and Development for Technology (ERDT) and Accelerated Science and Technology Human Resource Development Program (ASTHRDP) are the two ongoing graduate scholarships programs being supported by the DOST-SEI. ERDT is carried out by a consortium of eight prominent universities (which includes MSU-IIT of Iligan City) of the country that offer master’s and doctoral degrees in various fields of engineering. In the second semester of Academic Year 2014-2015, there were 34 on-going ERDT scholars (26 master’s degree and eight doctoral degree scholars) at MSU-IIT. For the period 2011-2014, there were 70 ongoing scholars (54 master’s degree and 16 doctoral degree scholars) and 11 graduated scholars (master’s degree) of ERDT at MSU-IIT. (Table 84)

ASTHRDP, on the other hand, is offered by the country’s National Science Consortium memberuniversities, which include MSU-ITT. Its priority fields include; (a) Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources; (b) Biological Sciences; (c) Biotechnology; (d) Chemical Sciences; (e) Earth, Atmospheric and Space Sciences; (f) Environmental Sciences; (g) Fisheries and Marine Science; (h) Health and Pharmaceutical Sciences; (i) Information and Communication Technology; (j) Materials Science and Nanotechnology; (k) Pure and Applied Mathematics; (l) Pure and Applied Physics. In the second semester of Academic Year 2014-2015, there were 64 on-going ASTHRDP scholars (147 master’s degree and 22 doctoral degree scholars) at MSU-IIT. For the period 2011-2014, there were 169 ongoing scholars (147 master’s degree and 22 doctoral degree scholars) and 55 graduated scholars (52 master’s degree, one doctoral degree and three thesis grantee scholars) of ASTHRDP at MSU-IIT. (Table 85)

Regional Development Report 2014

Regional Invention Contest and Exhibits (RICE) DOST X, in cooperation with the Technology Application and Promotion Institute of DOST Central Office (DOST-TAPI), conducted the Regional Invention Contest and Exhibits (RICE) in the first quarter of 2014. The RICE, which is a nationwide activity held in various regions of the country, is conducted in accordance with RA 7459, also known as the Invention Incentives Act of the Philippines, to encourage both professional and student inventors and researchers in pursuing the development of projects with applications that can significantly support economic development of the country. The 2014 RICE brought together regional inventors, researchers and students with innovative creativity and ability to generate functional products/processes. The regional winners from the six categories competed for the Presidential Awards for Inventions during the National Invention Contest and Exhibits (NICE) held on July 27, 2014 at SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia, Pasay City. Region X contestant (a group of student researchers from Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan de Oro) won the First Prize under the category of Outstanding Student Creative Research for high school and college students. These studentresearchers from Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan were Dennis T. Dominguez, Jodel Cris V. Libarios, Christine S. Maybuena and Jahre El Leonardo B. Tanedo who received the coveted Sibol Award. The title of the their research was “Bioethanol Production from Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) of Nipa fructicosa after Microwave-assisted Acid Hydrolysis”. The group received a fifty thousand peso-cash award and a plaque of recognition from NICE and the World Intellectual Property Organization, which recognizes the achievements of inventors, creators and innovative companies around the world.

Existing Research and Development Consortia of the Region These three established R&D consortia of the region continue to operate in 2014: (a) Northern Mindanao Consortium for Agriculture and Resources Research and Development (NOMCARRD); (b) Northern Mindanao Consortium for Health Research and Development (NorMinCoHRD); and, (c) Northern Mindanao Consortium for Industry Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (NORMINCIEERD). In contrast to NOMCARRD, which has been operating for decades now, NorMinCoHRD and NORMINCIEERD have just been established recently: NorMinCoHRD in 2008; and, NORMINCIEERD in 2011. In 2014, Department of Health Region 10 (DOH10) Regional Director Aristides Tan and MSU-IIT Chancellor Sukarno Tanggol were elected, respectively, as chairperson and vice-chairperson of the Advisory Board of the NorMinCoHRD. In the year under review, NorMinCoHRD conducted health research and development promotion activities and science, technology and innovation human resource development trainings, among other activities. Health research and development promotion activities included: (a) First and second levels en banc evaluation of research proposals for endorsement to the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) for funding; (b) Conduct of Region X’s first regional health research contest on 13 June 2014 with the theme “Research and Innovation in Health for Disaster and Emergency Health Management”; and, (c) Participation in the 8th Philippine National Health 124

Chapter 9: Science, Technology and Innovation Research System (PNHRS) Week Celebration on 10-12 August 2014 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Cebu City. The two entries of NorMinCoHRD for the PNHRS celebration performed well in the contest. The entry entitled “Innovations for the Anti-microbial Therapeutic: Synergistic Inhibitory Effect of Allium sativum (Garlic), Capsicum frutescans (Chili) and Zingiberofficinale (Ginger) against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa including drug-resistant strains” won first prize. Meanwhile, the research on “Metals in the Sediments and Waters of Cagayan de Oro River: Baseline Data for Metal Determination” was a finalist under the OralProfessional Category. Table 86 summarizes the trainings conducted by NorMinCoHRD in 2014. Being an infant consortium under the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD), holding several meetings to fully organize its operations were the initial activities of the Northern Mindanao Consortium for Industry Energy an Emerging Technology Research and Development (NORMINCIEERD) in 2014. Towards the end of the year, the NORMINCIEERD conducted Proposal Writeshop to generate from its member institutions proposals related to industries, energy and emerging technologies. Bukidnon State University, Central Mindanao University, LaSalle University, Ozamis City, Liceo de Cagayan University, MORESCO-I, Misamis University, Ozamis City, Mountain View College, St. Peter’s College, Iligan City, Xavier University were, reportedly, among the participants that produced 24 R & D project proposals for finalization and further review during the writeshop.

B. Increasing productivity and enhancing competitiveness of regional products and services Geared toward increasing productivity and enhancing competitiveness of regional products and services, the DOST-X continued to be at the forefront in diffusion of technological innovation and scientific services to various Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the region through SETUP (Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program) and GIA (Grants-In-Aid) Program. In 2014, a total of 279 technological interventions were, reportedly, provided to 311 firms (224 existing firms and 87 start-up firms) in the region resulting to the generation of accumulated gross sales of Php 269 million (Table 87). Two hundred and twenty four of these firms benefited from the Php 37 million worth of GIA and SETUP Program technology assistance. Beginning with the 243 firms developed and assisted in 2012 as the baseline, the accumulated total number of firms developed and assisted in 2014 was 668 firms, which exceeded the RDP target for the year of 563 firms by about 16 percent. The Php 269 million worth of accumulated generated sales for 2014 was 14 percent short of the RDP target of Php 307 million generated sales for the year. While the actual accumulated values of generated sales for 2013 and 2014 fell below the RDP targets, but, they were on increasing trend, as desired in the RDP, with 2012 as the baseline. The technology interventions to MSMEs came in the forms of the following: (a) various equipment upgrades; (b) scientific consultancies, such as technology needs assessment, project concepts and proposal preparation, design of good manufacturing practices (GMP)-compliant production-process layout, equipment specifications, process improvement, product development, quality assurance, food product shelf-life analysis, and, nutrition analysis; (c) 125

Regional Development Report 2014 conduct of training-workshops on relevant International Standards and systems such as on Food Safety, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)and the Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point (HACCP); and, (d) packaging and labeling services. In 2014, the following undertakings were facilitated by DOST-X to help improve the competitiveness of MSMEs in the region: (a) Establishment of the Packaging and Labeling Services Center in the Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST) in Cagayan de Oro City to expand and institutionalize the packaging and labeling support for the MSMEs in Northern Mindanao; (b) Enhancement of the Food Innovation Center (FIC) at MUST with provision of three auxiliary equipment (freezer, water purifier and band sealer) from DOST-ITDI (Industrial Technology Development Institute).

C. Reducing disaster risk due to natural hazards strengthened resiliency of the region against negative impacts of climate change Installation of early warning systems is among the strategies in reducing disaster risk due to natural hazards such as flooding. The DOST-X has been installing instruments/facilities related to early warning systems as support to the implementation of Project NOAH. These instruments/facilities include Automatic Rain Gauges (ARGs), Water level Monitoring Sensors (WLMS’), and Automatic Water Sensors (AWS’). The data gathered by these instruments are automatically fed to the central computer database where it will be analyzed by experts and scientists. The processed data shall be readily available and easily accessible over the Internet. Under Chapter 9 of the Updated 2011-2016 RDP, the region desires for increased percentage of ARGs, WLMS’ and AWS’ installed and maintained regionwide. From 2012 to 2014, a total of 69 ARGs, 30 WLMS’, and four AWS’ have been installed and maintained by DOST-X in various parts of the region (Table 88). In 2013 and 2014, the actual annual percent increase in the number of ARGs installed and maintained exceeded the RDP targets by nine percentage and 118 percentage points, respectively. In the same years, the respective actual annual percent increase in the number of WLMS’ installed and maintained fell short of the RDP targets by 67 percentage points and one percentage point. It should, also, be noted that the end-of-plan targets of ARGs, WLMS’, and AWS’ installed and maintained had already been achieved and even exceeded in 2014. Although, not targeted in the RDP, the DOST-X installed/maintained a total of 19 tandem (combination of ARG and WLMS) sensors from 2012 to 2014.

D. Improving socioeconomic condition of the vulnerable and other priority sectors’ marginalized groups In 2014, DOST-X carried out some activities toward reducing dengue case fatality, reducing prevalence of underweight children (0-71 months), and increasing households access to safe water.

Reducing Dengue Case Fatality As a way of increasing dengue awareness and eventually decreasing the population of mosquitoes carrying the deadly dengue virus, DOST-X and DepEd-X collaborated in installing Ovicidal/Larvicidal (OL) traps in public schools regionwide under the National Dengue Vector Surveillance (NDVS) Project. In 2014, OL trap kits were installed in 40 schools of the five provinces of the region. DOST-X trained 30 school coordinators on the proper use of the OL trap and the procedure in sending weekly OL surveillance data through SMS to the NDVS. Using the submitted OL surveillance data, 21 schools were mapped in the NDVS website as dengue warning sites. Density of dengue mosquitoes can be determined using OL trap kits at the identified sites. Those schools with at least 20 % OL indices for three (3) consecutive weeks are considered as vulnerable to dengue outbreak. Schools with high mosquito density were encouraged to make interventions such as clean-up drive and other activities that will help lessen if not eradicate the mosquito population in their respective areas.

Reducing Prevalence Of Underweight Children (0-71 Months) The technology for the manufacture of complementary food, which is a nutritional food blend developed by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), was adopted by Xavier University (XU) and MUST. Production facilities and equipment were installed in 2012 and 2013 in these two universities. XU produced complementary food packs that were used in the feeding programs of Congressman Rufus Rodriguez in TS Sendong relocation sites and some areas in the barangays of Cagayan de Oro City in 2012. In 2014, XU Department of Food Technology expanded the production to a total of 7,313 packs of BIGMO (bigas-mongo) blends. The Rural Health Unit (RHU) of Talisayan, Misamis Oriental is said to have obtained 4,760 packs of BIGMO for their feeding programs. DOST-X reported that Dr. Gay B. Ardanas of RHU Talisayan observed promising and inspiring result within the two months of implementation of feeding programs using BIGMO complementary foods. Similar results were observed from other LGUs using complementary foods. DOST-X received report from XU, one of its reliable partners in the implementation of complementary food-based feeding program, that mothers from Barangay Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City, gave positive feedbacks even if they were still on their 2nd week of that particular feeding program.

Increasing Households Access To Safe Water Clay Water Filter. In support to the thrust of the DOST in rolling out nationwide of the DOSTITDI-developed ceramic water filter, to address the urgent need for potable water in several areas in the country, DOST X strengthened its agreement with DARS Ceramics of Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City in the production of 1.5L ceramic pot-typed water filters. With the assistance from DOST-Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI), DOST-X facilitated the conduct of “Training cum Production with Commercialization” for 15 participants, to demonstrate the production of 1.5L ceramic pot-typed water filters. The filter proved to improve the quality of drinking water, ideal in areas where access to potable water is difficult. The ITDI-developed ceramic-based water filter, which is made from red clay, can remove contaminants in drinking water through the addition of nano antimicrobial agent that can eliminate water-borne microorganisms.

Priority Action Areas

A. Enhanced critical mass of STI human resource in terms of quantity and quality While the number of qualifiers in the region for DOST undergraduate scholarships has been increasing from 2011 to 2014 but its percentage of the total examinees is considered low (about 8 percent annually). The percentage of qualifiers is even much lower if it is based on the total enrollees of the fourth year high school. Similarly, the DOST graduate scholarships, which is aimed at attaining a critical mass of MS and PhD graduates has very few takers. The situation, as DOST-X sees it, necessitates critical review of the quality of education of the region and country in the following aspects: (a) quality of schools, courses and curriculum; (b) quality of learning materials and facilities; and,(c) quality of teachers and educators. Achieving this outcome may be realized number of years after 2016 considering the data cited by DOST-X in its 2014 Development Accomplishment Report as quoted below: “Further, the Philippines’ 78.5 researchers per million people were very low compared to Singapore’s 5,834.0, Thailand’s 315.5 and Vietnam’s 115.9 (Source, Malik, ed. 2013).”

B. Increasing productivity and enhancing competitiveness of regional products and services Improving productivity of processes and quality of products of the MSMEs remains a great challenge to contend with. Despite the different programs for support to MSMEs such as the SETUP of DOST, it has been observed that there is still limited number of takers and some of those assisted were not fully successful. Improving the financial management capability of the MSMEs remains an essential task to accomplish to help ensure success of these enterprises and the SETUP program that supports them. DOST-X also recognizes the need to enhance the project management and technology needs assessment capability and capacity of the front-line workers, 128

Chapter 9: Science, Technology and Innovation as well as, to review the SETUP program itself for greater impact. Moreover, the intention to pursue an industry level assistance by the SETUP program can be aligned with road maps and Value Chain Analysis (VCA) already prepared for various industry groups and priority focus areas of the region. There is also a need to address the issue on lack of skills in equipment technical design and engineering vis-à-vis the functional and operational requirements of SETUP proponent/end-users. There is this observation that equipment manufacturers/fabricators in the region oftentimes lack the capacity and skills to produce the desired accuracy and quality of the equipment, which has been cited as possible cause of SETUP’s minimal success in the region.
