DBP Accomplishment Report

P G S I n i t i a t i o n S t a g e R e v a l i d a P r e s e n t a t i o n [2011 DBP ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT]

The DBP continued to deliver a solid development performance in 2011 under the strong leadership of the Aquino administration. Mandated to accelerate growth and progress, the Bank has contributed to nation-building while generating substantial profits to sustain its operations.

In September 2010, the newly-appointed Board of Directors led by Chairman Jose A. Nuñez, Jr. and Vice-Chairman and President/CEO Francisco F. Del Rosario, Jr. assumed office in DBP and crafted the major thrusts and directions of the Bank, namely: to intensify financing in priority areas, enhance fund management, strengthen Bank operations, establish global presence, and promote good governance and corporate social responsibility.

On July 13 and 14, 2011, the Board of Directors formulated the 2016 DBP Strategy Roadmap, enhanced the Bank’s vision and strategic goals, and ensured the alignment of the Bank’s priority thrusts to the Philippine Roadmap for 2011-2016.

I. Intensified Support to Priority Development Areas

In 2011, the DBP strongly supported the priority development areas of government with loan exposure to the infrastructure and logistics sector in the amount of Php29.98 B; the social services sector in health, education and housing with total outstanding loans of Php11.26 B, the environment sector including new and renewable energy, solid waste management, and water distribution with Php7.08 B, the mSMEs that is considered the backbone of the economy with Php14.44 B; and other priority industries with Php49.85 B.

This attests that DBP has been faithful in fulfilling its mandate with a development loan portfolio of Php112.61 B comprising the huge bulk or 93% of its total loan portfolio of Php120.54 B for 2011. Gross loan portfolio reached Php180.32 B, posting a 16% increase from Php155.26 B last year.

1. Infrastructure and Logistics

DBP has rendered full commitment to the government’s Public-Private Partnership (PPP)

P u b l i c G o v e r n a n c e F o r u mM a r c h 3 0 , 2 0 1 2

Page 22


initiatives aimed at accelerating infrastructure and countryside development. More than manifesting solid assistance to the government’s PPP initiatives, the Bank formally opened the PPP Center satellite office in the DBP Head Office in March 2011. Coinciding this was the launching of the first five projects under the PPP program of the National Government (NG).

Supporting DBP’s program for infrastructure and logistics is the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)-funded Logistics Infrastructure Development Project (LIDP). The LIDP is a JPY30.38-B ODA facility that comprises two components: a) fund for relending, and b) training and technical assistance. The TA component amounts to JPY300 M. The Bank has entered into a contract for consultant’s services with Berkman International, Inc. on February 2011 to implement the TA component of the LIDP. Its primary objective is to render assistance to DBP and its customers thru the following activities: strategy formulation, sub-project evaluation, assessment and monitoring in order to achieve the effective utilization of the fund.

As of December 2011, the Bank released Php1.707 B, under the LIDP facility, to finance the acquisition/construction of vessels, port development, cold storage facilities and farm-to-market roads. In addition, there was Php7.487 B in approved projects, Php1.379 B under evaluation and almost Php1.8 B prospective projects under the LIDP.

Total releases to the infrastructure and logistics sector reached Php24.79 B in 2011.

It is aligned with the Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016 for infrastructure investments which prioritizes the creation of an integrated and multimodal national transport and logistics system.

2. Environment

In support of the national government’s environmental initiatives, DBP tapped Official Development Assistance (ODA) Funds. The Environmental Development Project (EDP), a 7-year JPY25 B policy-based lending facility funded by the JICA was launched in January 2009. EDP projects cover four environmental sectors, namely: Water Supply and Sanitation, New and


Page 22


Renewable Energy, Industrial Pollution Prevention and Control and Solid/Health Care/Hazardous Waste Management. EDP’s primary objectives are to improve the quality of the environment, enable LGUs to manage their environmental and natural resources, and establish the Philippine Water Revolving Fund (PWRF) as an innovative financing mechanism. As of December 2011, total approvals for 37 projects amounted to Php5.04 B of which Php2.62 B was released. There were 36 pipeline projects amounting to Php4.02 B.

DBP also tapped the World Bank (WB) for the Rural Power Project (RPP), a credit facility of US$150-M over a period of 14 years. To introduce flexibilities, the RPP can be accessed in four Adaptable Program Loans (APLs). Initially, DBP availed of US$10-M RPP under APL I facility that became effective on May 6, 2004 and was fully disbursed on April 30, 2009 with total approvals of Php735.69 M. Since this exceeded the amount of APL I of Php516.33 M, DBP availed of the US$40-M APL I- additional financing. As of December 31, 2011, total approvals under this facility reached Php1.077 B and disbursements amounted to Php542.927 M.

The DBP’s Solid Waste Management Program (SWMP) on the other hand, was approved by the Board in 2004. The program was designed primarily to assist LGUs in the development and implementation of their solid waste management programs by providing financing and technical assistance. The KfW-Credit Line for Solid Waste Management (KfW-CLSWM) is the major funding source of the program. The said credit facility was implemented for seven years funding 15 projects amounting to Php976.53 M. Full disbursement of the credit facility was in July 2010.

Total loan releases to the environment sector reached Php4.35 B for the year.

To further highlight DBP’s commitment in environmental protection, DBP Management approved the Carbon Finance Program (CFP) on August 4, 2010. The CFP sets aside Php60 M of the Bank’s own funds to assist in the CDM registration of clients’ eligible projects and translation of the generated carbon credits into income. DBP is presently assisting in the development of a CDM project for an industrial company employing blast furnace, processing the registration of a bundled mini-hydropower plant projects, and developing three Programs of Activities (PoAs) covering composting, methane avoidance and promotion of micro and mini-hydro power plant projects. The CDM projects are expected to generate about 70,000 Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) per annum for a seven year registration accreditation period.

As the Bank for the environment, DBP continues to develop financing program that would help protect and preserve the environment. Three (3) financing programs were launched in 2011 to support DBP’s environmental thrusts, namely:

a) Financing Program for the Water Sector – aims to contribute in the provision of safe and affordable water supply to the waterless areas. The program targets initially an estimated investment requirement of Php5 B in 5 years;

b) Financing Program for the Sanitation Sector – will help the National Program to address the sanitation needs of the country. The program will target sewerage and septage management investment requirements of LGUs and Water Districts estimated at Php5.43 B up to 2020;

c) Green Financing Program – The program is DBP’s umbrella program for environmental projects supporting the Green Economy and Green Growth Strategy for both the Industries and LGUs. It institutionalizes the environment thrust of the Bank consistent with the Bank’s environmental policy and DBP’s reputation as “the Bank for the Environment”. The program is designed primarily to assist the industries and LGUs in the integration of environmentally-friendly processes and technologies with the end in view of reducing environmental footprint from LGU


Page 22


projects and industrial operations making them globally competitive in the fast growing market. The program supports the goal of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016 to improve environmental quality for a cleaner and healthier environment. The program will support environmental investment requirements for the management of pollution (air and water quality management) including cleaner alternative transport fuel implementation estimated at Php367 B.

d) Tree Plantation Financing Program - The program approved in 2011 provides credit support for the expansion, harvesting, maintenance and protection of existing tree plantations of at least four years in qualified private and public land covering both low land and forest areas. Initial fund amounted to Php10 B sourced from available funds of the Bank. The program is expected to improve forest cover as mode for addressing climate change risks and reactivate wood-based industries as source of employment, income and foreign exchange.

3. Social Services

DBP has several programs to address the priority areas of government in health, education, housing and community development.

The Bank’s Development of Poor Urban Communities Sector Project (DPUCSP) from Asian Development Bank (ADB) closed in April 2010. The DPUCSP registered total loan releases of Php826.48 M, yielded a total of 6,168 socialized housing units, and delivered 10,685 enterprise loans among other contributions.

In order to sustain housing finance interventions started in the DPUCSP, the Bank also launched the Sustainable Shelter Development Program (SSDP) during the first quarter of 2011. The Program makes available PhP3 B for socialized and low-cost housing projects and housing microfinance, with priority financing given to projects with high positive environmental impacts. As of end 2011, approved projects will have generated 184 socialized housing units while financing for housing microfinance continues through second generation DPUCSP funds. Partnerships with the Philippine Navy, the Department of Education and the University of the Philippines are also actively pursued for government employee housing.


Page 22


The Sustainable Health Care Investment Program (SHCIP) is currently in place to help realize the health system targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Particularly, SHCIP seeks to improve maternal and child health and the management of communicable diseases. As of year-end, SCHIP had 28 approved projects amounting to Php2.9 B and 14 projects in the pipeline totaling Php1.6 B. With the approved loans that financed construction of new hospitals, a total of 722 new beds were added to the health sector.

In support of the government’s drive to address chronic shortages in school facilities and improve accessibility and quality of education in the country, DBP continued to promote hard and soft infrastructure development for the education sector. As of December 2011, DBP conducted technical evaluation on 28 accounts amounting to a total of Php2.76 B of which Php2.1 B was approved and in various stages of project implementation.

Disbursements to the social services sector totaled Php1.71 B in 2011.

Further to this, the Bank developed responsive programs in four delineated sectors, namely: housing, health care, education and basic sectors (OFWs, indigenous peoples, people with disabilities). These programs are:

a) Financing Program for Basic Education – a Php-10 B financing facility to support the funding requirements of public basic education using the Special Education Fund (SEF) as the principal source of loan repayment. The SEF is 1% of realty taxes collected by LGUs annually per Local Government Code of 1991 or RA 7160. The facility shall be available for five years starting year 2012.

b) Sustainable Shelter Development Financing Program – aims to address the shelter and tenure security needs while consciously promoting sustainable alternative construction technologies, environmental consciousness, housing microfinance, and a holistic approach to community development. This will be initially funded by Bank funds at Php3 B.


Page 22


c) DBP Overseas Filipino Workers-Reintegration Program – supports OFWs going into sustainable business ventures with a Php1-B funding linked up with a Php500 M guarantee support from OWWA available in a 5-year period.

4. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (mSMEs)

The Bank has an umbrella program for mSMEs called the DBP Sustainable Entrepreneurship Enhancement and Development (SEED) program which is comprised of two sub-programs: the Credit Surety Fund (CSF) Credit Facility and Retail Lending for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) which subsumes the One Town, One Product (OTOP).

As of December 2011, approved contributions to 23 CSFs nationwide amounted to Php34.05 M. Of this, Php20.7 M was released in 13 CSFs. Since DBP kicked-off its CSF Credit Facility, it has generated a total loan portfolio of Php100.85 M; total releases amounted to Php55.29 M, while Php86.397 M is still in the pipeline. Jobs generated from this facility were estimated at 547 additional work force as of December 2011. Under the retail lending for mSMEs, a total of Php1.403 B was released as of December 31, 2011. Loan releases to support the mSMEs totaled Php3.56 B for the same period.

The Bank continued to develop relevant programs for mSMEs to further boost assistance to the sector. For 2011, two programs were developed, namely:

a. Agribusiness Development Program – an umbrella program for all agriculture related credit facilities including those for crops, livestock and poultry, forestry and aquaculture.

b. DBP Venture Capital Program – DBP’s primary equity support and non-credit financing program for mSMEs with high growth potential. A Php500-M fund facility for equity investments with Php50-M piggy-backed technical assistance fund.


Page 22


Other priority areas. To continue its strategic role as catalyst of development, DBP supported industrial progress by financing other critical sectors including manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, and real estate amounting to Php33.76 B. The Bank also continued lending to major commercial enterprises with total loan releases of Php74.66 B. This brings total loan releases of the Bank to Php142.83 B for 2011.

II. Fund Generation and Management The branches ensured a significant source of low cost funds for the Bank to attain a deposit level of Php70.77 B in 2011. This was 96% of the target deposit level of Php73.25 B. The Php3.0 B shortfall was accounted for by the projected deposits from the new branches that did not transpire in 2011. Only one branch was opened vs. the 10 new branches targeted for the year.

On a bank-wide level, total deposits reached Php158.37 B vs. target of Php119.97 B or a realization rate of 132%.

For better service delivery, several branches undertook infrastructural improvements and site relocation. The Cash Management in the Head Office, RMC-Western Mindanao and Zamboanga branches were refurbished while DBP Bogo branch was transferred to a new office. For customer convenience, 26 new ATMs were installed during the year. A total of 100 new ATMs are targeted to be installed and operational for the period 2011-2016 and the Bank is on track in this undertaking.

Fund Sourcing. As of end-December 2011, a total of Php36.93 B in ODA funds was made available to finance the four major thrusts of DBP which are supportive of the government programs. Total approved ODA loans to sub-borrowers (with pending releases) reached Php10.80 B, while pipeline projects was estimated at Php20.45 B. Total ODA disbursements to sub-loan borrowers for 2011 reached Php1.44 B. To improve disbursements, the marketing


Page 22


units and the Program Development departments of the Bank will work towards more effective mobilization of ODA funds for 2012.

The Bank, through its Fund Sourcing department, drew a total of Php956.43 M from funders in 2011 against the targeted Php3.82 B or a realization rate of 25%. With concerted efforts in marketing the facilities, a higher RR will be attained in 2012.

DBP also saw the need to diversify its foreign borrowing portfolio to compete in the industry under a low interest rate regime. The Bank made initiatives to tap non-traditional sources of funds such as the French Development Agency (AFD), German Development Aid Agency, Instituto Credito Oficial, Australian Agency for International Development, and International Commercial Bank of China. The Bank has already participated in the 1st bilateral consultation between GOP and AFD. The Bank also met with ACPC, ADCF and traditional funder WB for prospective facilities.

III. Strengthened Bank Operations

During the year, the DBP was able to establish robust and responsive systems and processes with the completion of the Bank’s Information Technology’s Information Systems Strategic Plan (ISSP) with systems set up in newer platforms. The bank-wide Management Information System (MIS) is on track with its schedule of implementation. The Bank’s credit processes continued to be streamlined with the reduction in the number of credit policy memorandums and circulars and the enterprise-wide risk management system is in place. DBP also passed the certification audit conducted on additional Quality Management System (QMS) processes for the year.

IV. Global Presence


Page 22


The Bank continued to serve the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) with low cost and efficient financial services, financial literacy and entrepreneurial advocacy work, and delivery of welfare services. The volume of remittances grew by almost 20% from 2010 level to reach more than 306,313 transactions amounting to inward foreign exchange equivalent to US$122.566 M.

The Bank’s Remittance Center (RC) has a presence in 15 countries through a Hong Kong subsidiary and tie-ups in the Middle East and North America. The RC’s average growth rate of remittances over the past year is 24%.

In 2011, the DBP-Pangkabuhayan Para sa Pinoy raffle program (DBP-PPP) was launched as a major promotional campaign aimed to promote livelihood opportunities for OFWs. The Bank also launched the OFW Reintegration Program (DBP-OFWRP), a financing facility to support the entrepreneurial activities of overseas Filipino workers and their families.

V. Good Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility

The Bank has aligned its practices, policies and procedures with laws mandating the implementation of the Integrity Development Action Plan (IDAP), Moral Renewal Action Plan (MRAP) and Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA/Citizen’s Charter).

In 2011, the Bank created the Technical Working Group (TWG) on Good Governance was created, replacing the Task Force on Good Governance. This is in light of the Bank’s revitalized Strategic Plans and Directions for the Medium-Term 2011 to 2016. The TWG is composed of heads of all sectors of the Bank with the Office of the President and CEO, Office of the COO, Branch Banking Sector, Finance Sector, Marketing Head Office Sector and Operations Sector, including the Corporate Affairs, Credit Review and Policy Supervision, Human Resource Management, Process Management and Strategic Planning and Research.

The TWG was tasked to promote and inculcate integrity among the Bank’s constituents, and corporate governance among its leaders. The principles of good governance was aimed to be institutionalized throughout the entire organization through overseeing the Bank’s compliance in the implementing rules and regulations of ARTA covering the Citizen’s Charter, IDAP, MRAP


Page 22


and related programs on good governance and integrity development as required by the CSC and other enforcing agencies of the Office of the President.

The Bank also offered non-loan financial assistance in the form of CSR programs. The earliest is the DBP Forest Program launched in 2005, followed by the DBP Endowment for Education Program (DEEP) in 2007. The latest involves the provision of around 15 materials recovery facilities along the Pasig River.

DBP Forest. In 2005, the DBP Forest Program was launched which is a positive action to avoid the occurrence of natural disasters that cause extensive damage to communities aggravated by the wanton exploitation of natural resources, including forests. It embodies the Bank’s environmental advocacy aimed at assisting partner communities in establishing upland and coastal forest projects. Trees planted include fruit trees, forest species and medicinal plants for upland areas and mangrove species for coastal areas. Partner communities contribute their sweat equity and partnerships with local government units, state universities and colleges and other government agencies bring in additional technical expertise.

The DBP Forest projects impact on the environment as well as in the social, economic and financial condition of the lives of people in concerned communities. The Program is hinged on the principle of partnership with communities who are the main implementers of the project.

As of 2011, total number of forest projects increased to 38, participated by at least 4,637 member beneficiaries and their families. Number of trees planted total to 3.7 million and DBP total released amount of Php 66.4 M. Implementing projects through community participation involves activities on organizing communities, information/ awareness program and training of members. The community gains improved awareness of the value of forest conservation, assimilate concepts governing the project and its benefits which bring about change in perception about the care and protection of the forest. Participants are given opportunity to enhance their knowledge on many areas which promote capability enhancement and technical skills development which help them gain skills in organic farming, marcotting, administrative management and others. Communities become empowered in their implementation of the projects, gain confidence in their ability to respond to concerns and resolve issues, become independent and learn to explore other opportunities for the good of the project and the


Page 22


community. They develop a sense of ownership and active involvement in the protection and restoration of watershed areas, patrolling, monitoring, and maintenance of the project. In the course of project implementation, they gain initiative to source out funds to further develop the project and explore potential for other sub-projects such as aqua-silviculture, culturing crablets, shrimps and other aquatic resources. They gain a sense of prestige especially when the project becomes a recipient of award on civil service or adjudged as a model agribusiness project. Members become motivated in participating in the project, and appreciative of the importance of the benefits they derive from the project. Social interaction is thus, further enhanced.

Community members also serve as the workforce in implementing the project where they earn some income for their labor. Where technical expertise is provided either by DENR or state college/university in raising some seedlings or collection of propagules, farmers are the ones paid instead of procuring these from nursery suppliers. DBP Forest also encourages planting of intercrops where farmers obtain additional revenue from sale of intercrops which are harvested in short periods.

Some projects already benefit from harvest of certain fruits such as rambutan, durian and cacao made into tablea and sold at Php90 to Php110 per kilo in Davao. Some farmers in the two forest projects in Cagayan Province have started harvest of mango. In Palawan, market for harvested abaca fiber and latex smoke sheath of rubber tree is being explored for good pricing. Flowering rambutan and mango trees in Sarangani are expected to be a source of revenue for the partner community members.

In Tagum City, potential sources of income include ecotourism project involving river cruise, floating restaurant specializing in soft shell crabs, installation of baywalk and construction of spawning ground area for crabs (for possible loan with DBP). In Quezon, collection of monthly water fee from the rehabilitated watershed becomes an income for the forest partner for the maintenance of the water system in the area. Potential income from nipa is also being explored. Vermi composting used as fertilizer to planted tree species also serves as a good source of extra income for the community. The mangrove project in Guimaras complements the seaweed farming livelihood project of the LGU. Through rehabilitation of mangrove area, an increase of caught fish and other aquatic resources has been reported which translates to more income for the fisherfolks.

The DBP Forest projects promote planting of fruit trees and forest trees in open idle land which help arrest environmental degradation. Mangrove projects serve as the spawning area for aquatic resources, promote increase in aquatic biodiversity, serve as buffer zone for protection and soil erosion control. Agroforestation brings about improvement in the physical condition, species composition and microclimate condition of degraded areas as well as promote increase in forest cover, wildlife and biodiversity conservation. Soil fertility is thus enhanced. Through the forest projects, problems on kaingin, charcoal making and illegal logging tend to be

minimized if not totally controlled. Planting of fruit trees in open denuded areas improves the landscape and the re-greening of the area that may prevent soil erosion and landslide. Watersheds become partly rehabilitated through planting of fruit trees and indigenous tree species which contribute to improvement of water supply and water quality. Planting trees sequesters significant amount of atmospheric carbon efficiently and once the trees grow, they transform carbon into biomass which help in mitigating global warming and climate change.

DBP Endowment for Education Program. In 2007, DBP implemented the DBP Endowment for Education Program (DEEP) which is a concrete support to very poor families that have talented children to break away from the vicious cycle of poverty. The Bank allocates Php100 M yearly for a period of 10 years to support the DEEP. The DEEP has two components: the Partner School Endowment which purchases course slots for qualified scholars, thus paying for their tuition for the entire course, and the Student Support that provides scholars’ needs including board, lodging, books and school supplies.

Recently, the Bank implemented the Industrial Guarantee and Loan Fund – Student Assistance Grant for Entrepreneurship (IGLF-SAGE) which aims to enhance the student entrepreneurial development and promote enterprise. The pilot stage of IGLF–SAGE is in partnership with Cebu-based universities. The expected outcome is more enrollees in entrepreneurship courses in partner schools, upgraded business plans from students or student groups and increased number of business plans pursued to commercialization.

Environmental Management System

True to its advocacy as a sustainable and model green bank, DBP takes pride in being the first and only Philippine bank to be ISO 14001 certified in 2002 for its successful establishment and implementation of an environmental management system (EMS). DBP’s ISO 14001 certification has been upgraded/renewed from Y-2002 to Y-2011 against the requirements of the ISO 14001: 2004 standard which attested to our consistent performance under the highest standards of this international certification. DBP‘s ISO certification now covers the operations of the Head Office and the 15 Regional Marketing Centers (RMCs) and host branches namely: NEL/ Ilagan Branch; CL/ Pampanga Branch; WL/Dagupan Branch; Metro Manila / Commonwealth Branch; ST/ Lucena Branch; Bicol/Naga Branch; CV/ Cebu Branch; Panay /Iloilo Branch; Negros/Bacolod Branch; EV/Tacloban; NEM/ Butuan Branch; NM/ Cagayan de Oro; SM/ Gensan Branch; SEM/Davao Branch; and WM/Zamboanga Branch.

The Bank will further expand the sites of its EMS implementation in all of its 67 ward branches by 2012 and 2013.

Under the Bank’s EMS environmental objectives and targets, the performance of the DBP’s environmental management programs (EMPs) in 2011 vs. 2010 showed continual improvement with the realization of the resource consumption reduction target. DBP exceeded its Bankwide reduction targets in electricity, water, paper, transport gasoline and diesel, solid waste generation and utilization of LPG fuel for the Bank transport activities.

Total greenhouse gas (GHG) metric tons of CO2 emitted from electricity and fuel consumption in the bank

decreased by 2.27% and 15.16% from 2010 level and overall water conserved by the bank is 2,442 m3 or 1 day consumption of about 7,191 people.

Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF). In April 5, 2010, DBP and ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. (AFI) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the construction of Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) in up to 15 selected project sites along the Pasig River including one resettlement area in Calauan, Laguna. This is a part of the Solid Waste Management Program of the Clean River Zones (CRZs) and to be undertaken parallel to the activities of Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig (KBPIP) Project. The MRFs will be set up to ensure that all wastes, biodegradable and non-biodegradable, will be properly segregated, composted and recycled. The intention is to minimize waste and convert them to marketable products. The communities also stand to earn from the activities of the MRFs.

Public-private partnerships will be encouraged and efforts of LGUs will be complemented in ensuring solid waste management and water pollution prevention and control. Livelihood and income opportunities for the project beneficiaries will be provided particularly the residents along the Pasig River and activities towards the rehabilitation of the Pasig River will be supported.

To implement the MOA, DBP will accomplish the following:1. Evaluate and approve project proposals submitted by AFI and provide technical and

business advisory assistance in setting up MRFs in approved project sites according to the concept design of the MRF;

2. Provide financial assistance of up to Php30 million for the establishment of up to 15 MRFs, subject to availment procedures of DBP; and

3. Monitor project sites and undertake activities to effectively implement the project in coordination with AFI.
