Social Monitoring Report October – December 2013
I. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
A. Brief Project Description KEPCO SPC Power Corporation (KSPC) undertook the construction of a 2 x 100 megawatts (MW) CFBC power plant in Barangay Colon, City of Naga, Cebu. The project is standing in a 10-hectare land that is leased for 25 years from National Power Corporation (NPC). The project involves 2 resettlement issues: a) in the leased property called Naga Land; and b) along the Transmission Line (T/L) Project. Prior to construction period, resettlement of some informal settlers families just outside the lease land have been carried out as a joint effort by Barangay Colon, the then Municipal Government of Naga, NPC and KSPC. Out of 22 families, 17 families have accepted financial assistance provided and voluntarily moved their houses in the same vicinity outside the plant’s perimeter fence. Five families claim to have legal titles and during the construction phase remain to be partially encroaching in the leased land. NPC filed a civil case for recovery of possession of the areas occupied by these 5 families. Meanwhile, a social analysis conducted by Transco, now National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), concluded that the proposed 138 KV T/L Project requires land acquisition and resettlement. The 0.90–kilometer transmission line from KSPC’s Cebu Power Plant Project to the New Naga Substation will affect 11 landowners, 1 tenant, 13 structures owners and 10 relocatee-households.
II. LAND ACQUISITION AND INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT – NAGA LAND
A. Progress on Case Filed in Court vs. 5 Illegal Dwellers within Naga Land
4
Social Monitoring Report October – December 2013
The Court already resolved the case filed by NPC vs. the five (5) Illegal Dwellers within Naga Land. Two of the defendants did not file answers to the complaint while the three others already entered into a Compromise Agreement with National Power Corporation (NPC). The Court approved the Compromise Agreement and resolved the issue on the two (2) other defendants, who were earlier declared in default for not filing an answer to the complaint.
B. Progress on living condition of 17 Resettlement Families The families living in the Resettlement Area are already insulated from direct contact with the land reclaimed using coal ash after the completion of the concreting project. Since June 2012, a doctor has been visiting the Barangay Health Center of Barangay Colon twice a month to provide free health check-ups to the residents. The frequency of the doctor’s visits was increased to every week starting January 2013. KSPC partnered with the City of Naga Government for this Health Monitoring Program by shouldering the expenses for the honorarium of the doctor not just in Colon but in a total of six (6) barangays in the City of Naga. Aside from the doctor’s free health check-up, KSPC also set aside budget in 2013 for the donation of medicines to Barangays Colon, North Poblacion and Tangke to augment the supplies they are getting from the local government. Last May 2013, 28 out-of school youths of Barangay Colon completed the Pipe-Fitting Fabrication course conducted by KSPC through the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Program of the Department of Education (DepEd), the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and local government units (LGUs).

They are the third batch of completers under KSPC’s Skills Development Training Program. The two other trainings also done are Welding Fabrication and Food Preparation and Preservation. KSPC will implemented another skills development training, this time in cosmetology for the women sector of the barangay. KSPC turned over in November 2013 the motorized banca and headquarters to the fishermen association of Barangay North Poblacion, which can be used for their livelihood program and in guarding its water jurisdiction from illegal fishers. For the next school year, KSPC will double the budget for its Scholarship Program to widen the coverage of the free education of its existing four (4) beneficiaries and be able to help additional poor but deserving public high school graduates in its host communities. A new program to address the problem of malnutrition among school children will also be implemented, as well as assistance for the Persons with Disability (PWDs) residents of the barangay. Meanwhile, as committed to the LGU partners, KSPC will continue the quarterly consultation meetings with the three nearest barangays of Colon, North Poblacion and Tangke to update the communities of the different activities of the power plant, as well as get feedback and recommendations from the nearby residents.
