1 Fourth Quarter CY 2012 RPMES Report

FOURTH QUARTER CY 2012 RPMES REPORT The Regional Project Monitoring and Evaluation System (RPMES) report is prepared on a quarterly basis to provide an overall view on the status of major program/project (P/Ps) implementation in the region. The report is based on the submission of eleven regional line agencies (RLAs).

I. CY 2012 Major Programs/Projects For CY 2012, there are 46 major P/Ps with an aggregate cost of Php 11.046 Billion of which about Php 5.42 billion or 49 percent are new P/Ps, Php 4.9 billion or 44 percent are multi-year projects, and Php 0.724 billion or seven (7) percent are carryover projects.

In terms of cost, the economic development sector has the highest at 56 percent or Php 6.224billion, followed by the infrastructure sector at 24 percent or Php 2.611 billion, and the social sector having the least at 16 percent or Php 1.803 billion. Also included are rehabilitation and reconstruction projects under the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) on areas affected by typhoons “Pedring” and “Quiel” in 2011 amounting to Php 406 million or 4 percent.

In terms of funding source, 67 percent is locally funded while 32 percent is foreign assisted. The foreign- assisted projects are: (a) Second Cordillera Highland Agriculture Resource Management Program (CHARMP II), Php 3.2 Billion, (b) Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Program (ARISP), Php 903 Million; and (c) Rural Micro-Enterprises Promotion Program (RuMEPP), Php 1.8 Million.

II. Project Implementation Status For the fourth quarter, the overall status of project implementation is 58.98 percent, a modest 16 percent increase from the third quarter. The SAP projects posted the highest accomplishment followed the social sector, then the infrastructure sector. The economic sector’s low performance is due to the delayed implementation of its banner project, the CHARMP 2. (Please refer to Annex A for the detailed status of the 46 projects)

Projects identified under the SAP areas affected by typhoons Pedring, Quiel and Juan posted an accomplishment of 99.08 percent, most of which are roads and school building projects. The Social Sector obtained an overall accomplishment of 68.76 percent. The projects reported under the sector are DSWD’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), DepEd’s Red

and Black School building Program, Rehabilitation of School Building including Water Sanitation Facilities and Philippines’ Response to Indigenous and Muslim Education (PRIME), DOH’s Health Facilities and Water System Projects and foreign-assisted Cordillera-wide Strengthening of Local Health System for Effective and Efficient Delivery of Maternal and child Health Service. The Infrastructure Sector had an overall accomplishment of 62.39 percent, composed of DPWH’s priority road and bridge projects. These priority roads are mainly laterals that link CAR to Regions I and II. The Economic Sector posted an overall accomplishment of 52 percent. The sector’s accomplishment is relatively low due to the negative slippage incurred by its banner project, DA’s foreign-assisted project Second Phase of Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project or CHARMP 2 costing about Php 3 Billion. The other projects under the sector are DAR’s Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project (ARISP III), DA’s Farm-to-Market Roads, DENR’s National Government Priority, National Greening Program (NGP), NIA’s Irrigation Projects, DTI’s One Town One Product Program (OTOP) and Shared Service Facilities SSF, and DOST’s completed Small Enterprises Technology Program (SETUP), and Packaging and Labeling Project. The overall performance during the quarter translates to 15 P/Ps completed, 10 are on track, 5 P/Ps are ahead of schedule, and 16 behind schedule. Of the 16 projects reported behind schedule, 11 projects posted slippages less than negative 15 percent. The common reason reported was due to inclement weather/typhoons within the project area. Agencies have adopted catch-up plans to put the projects on track. CHARMP 2 had a negative 18.86 percent slippage as it underwent another NEDA ICC process for project reconfiguration to address the issue on LGU counterpart. DA will have to retarget its work schedule once reconfiguration is in effect. The Philippine Response to Indigenous and Muslim Education (PRIME) of DepEd, is the most problematic project that has a negative 51 percent slippage. DepEd acknowledges the delay and has undertaken actions to put the project on track.

III. CY 2012 Priority Sectoral Programs/ Projects The CY 2012 Priority Sectoral Programs/Projects gives a view of the status of program/project implementation for selected projects of regional and national significance. From the 46 programs/projects, eight (8) were identified by the sectoral committees tagged as their banner projects and directly support the key focus areas (KFA) of development in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), namely: physical integration, greens and ornamental grocer and social development. These programs/projects with an aggregate cost of Php 5.3 billion are closely monitored by the RPMC. These were selected based on the criteria set during the RPMES national forum: (a) foreign- assisted projects (FAP/ODA), (b) interprovincial, (c) large scale cost, (d) national priority, critical projects by the Office of the President (OP), and (e)


regional priority. These programs/projects are as follows: (Please refer to Annex B for the details of the eight priority sectoral programs/projects)

1. Second Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP 2) 2. Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) 3. Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project, Phase III (ARISP III) 4. Kabugao-Solsona, Apayao-Ilocos Norte Road 5. Kabugao-Pudtol- Luna- Cagayan Boundary Road 6.

Current Implementation Issues and/or Problems Encountered (if any):

1. Delayed implementation of infra subprojects due to difficulty of LGUs in providing cash counterpart required as indicated in the NG-LGU cost sharing policy.

2. Approval of the proposed rural finance scheme/Livelihood Assistance Finance (LAF) in place of the credit subcomponent.

3. Extension of OFID Loan Agreement which will close in July 2013

Actions Taken/ Recommendations:

1. The project is waiting for the approval of the proposed NG-LGU cost sharing mix of 60%-40% for 1st-2nd class LGUs, 70%-30% for 3rd-6th class LGUs from the NEDA Board. While waiting for its approval, the Project recommended LGUs regardless of their classification to opt for the cost-sharing arrangement included in the Project Financing Agreement, where the CHARMP2 will shoulder 60% and LGUs will provide 40% equity in order to proceed with the implementation of proposed subprojects. However, only a few LGUs were able to provide counterpart based on this scheme.

To initiate implementation of 25 submitted infra subproject proposals from LGUs that could not afford said NG-LGU cost sharing scheme, fund assistance from the DA-OSEC was sought to cover 30% of the total cost of subprojects. The Project and the concerned LGUs are now waiting for the release of CFA in the amount of Php 50 million from the DA-OSEC.

As of June 2012, another batch of 71 subproject proposals was submitted to DA-OSEC for fund support in the amount of Php 89 million.

2. Since the credit scheme as a subcomponent of the original Project Design is not feasible for poor target beneficiaries in CAR, the Project proposed for the Livelihood Fund Assistance (LAF) that would assist livelihood and income generating activities of target groups. This proposal is part of the revised Project Design which is now for approval by the ICC/Government.

3. The Project requested for an extension of the loan validity to coincide with the loan closing of the IFAD loan (June 2016). Request was reiterated to DA-CO for submission to Department of Finance mid of October 2012.

Remarks: The project is waiting for the final approval of the Revised Project Design by NEDA ICC Board/ National Government.

PROJECT PROFILE Implementing Agency: Department of Social Welfare and Development-CAR

Fund Source: Loan: ADB

Total Project Cost: Php 888.889 M

Location/Area Coverage: 6 provinces, 7 congressional Districts, 2 cities, 75 municipalities, 1,070 municipalities

Description:

Under the Set 5 expansion, the program currently covers all the 75 municipalities and 2 cities in the region. However, not all barangays are covered due to the targeting strategy for urbanized cities like Baguio, wherein the poorest barangays identified rather than saturating the entire city.

The program is aimed at targeting five out of the eight Millennium Development Goals. It is intended to address the following MDGs: reduce poverty and hunger (goal1), achieve universal primary education (goal2), reduce child mortality (goal4), improve maternal health (goal5), and promote gender equality and women’s empowerment (goal3). These are all achieved by reducing extreme poverty and increasing human capital of the poorest households, particularly in the areas of nutrition, education, and health.

Officially launched in late2007, the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is the Philippine government’s version of the conditional cash transfer (CCT)-a program that is widely practiced in other countries. The program is patterned after the conditional cash transfer program in Latin America and African countries which have been proven successful as a poverty reduction and social development measure (World Bank, 2009) The program offers the following health and education cash grants to beneficiary-households: 1) 500 pesos a month per household, or 6,000 pesos a year, for preventive health check-ups

and vaccines of pregnant women and of children with ages five years old and below;

2) 300 pesos a month per child, or 3,000 pesos a year, for his/her educational expenses for

one school year (10months).

The educational assistance is given to each household for a maximum of three children. To be eligible, children should be between three to 14 years of age and enrolled either in a day-care program or in elementary school.

Thus a house hold with three qualified children can get a subsidy of 1,400 pesos per month, or 15,000 pesos a year, for a maximum of five years (Senate, 2010).

Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)


The program has six ( 6 ) conditionality that beneficiary-families must comply with. These are the following:

1) Pregnant members of the household shall get pre-natal care; child birth shall be

attended by skilled/trained health professionals; and mothers shall get post-natal care

thereafter.

2) Children between 0-5 years old shall get regular preventive health check-ups and

receive immunizations, such as BCG, DPT-OPV, anti-measles and hepatitis vaccines.

3) Children between 6-14 years old shall receive de-worming pills twice a year (Scheduled

every five months, or every January and July of the elementary school year).

4) Children between 3-5 years old shall go to day-care/pre-school classes and attend85

percent of the time.

5) Children between 6-14yearsold must be enrolled in school and should attend classes 85

per cent of the time.

Issues and Concerns Action Taken and Recommendation

Registration and Validation

Upon validation of data generated from the system, it was found out that there are 34,112 potential beneficiaries for registration in the system; however, only 30,330 out of the 34,112 were provided by the NPMO with validation form and LBP registration form.

By the second quarter, 25649 household beneficiaries have been registered to Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program out of the target 34, 112 households.

With the mandates from Secretary Soliman, the remaining 8,463 are being validated and are targeted to be registered by August 10, 2012.

Compliance Verification Result

The NPMO does not provide the list of compliant and non-compliant beneficiaries.

Massive retro-active payment has been initiated by the regional office for non-compliant beneficiaries who have been validated fall in the category of un-updated in school and health facility but have been compliant to the program conditions for the 1st and 2nd period.

Beneficiary Update System

The NPMO has not yet provided the Entry ID in the BUS turnout despite request from the BDMD.

This is already available in the BUS turnout.


Library Management

During the cleaning of Library, once all of the contents of a school/health center have been transferred, the previous school should be automatically disabled, in order for encoders not to use that school.

As of 2nd quarter, caution has been exercised in the cleaning of the Pantawid library of facilities. The deleting of facilities has been temporarily ceased. Instead, the beneficiaries are being transferred to their correct facility of enrollment.

On the Health Facilities Enhancement Program

Health Facility Enhancement Program is designed to address poor quality health services due to poor facilities not only in terms of building but lack of equipment and manpower as


well. To address this issue, the Department of Health has spearheaded the expansion/renovation/repair and or construction of many health facilities nationwide. For the Mountain Province HFEP, Php 66.00 Million was programmed in 2012 for new construction, renovation/expansion and completion covering the municipalities of: Bontoc 42M Php, Natonin Community Hospital 16M Php, Paracelis District Hospital 5M Php, and Sabangan Rural Health Unit 3M Php.

PROJECTS INSPECTED:

3.1 BONTOC GENERAL HOSPITAL (Php 42M), scope of work includes: Repair of Administration Building, Construction/Completion of Charity Ward, Extension of Pharmacy and Construction of Sewage Treatment Plant). As of the end of November 2012, the Bontoc HFEP is completed per program of work (POW). Findings/Observations

a. The Emergency Room Building is completed as to the POW. Additional works still

needs to be funded to be fully completed. The facility can only be full – operational with the provision of equipment for dialysis, X‐Ray, laboratory, among others.

Recommendations

a. Fast track the completion of the building to be able to request for modern equipment needed, like X‐ray, laboratory & other equipment. The earlier these enhancement projects are completed, the sooner it will be full‐operational and bring in its attendant benefits.

pit. Status: 70% Findings/Observations

a. The DOH‐ HFEP standard was not suitable in the local condition, the single storey

design was not appropriate for the limited & sloping area. Plan/design issues raised by the LGUs were solved at the project level, where requests for changes in the design/plan and materials were approved by the DOH. LGU proposed a two storey building adapting to the limited and steep topography of the area. The labor room, delivery room ward and admission/reception area at the 1st level and consultation/treatment rooms, examination and MHO office at the 2nd level. Planning of the project drew the partners together in identifying and addressing local priorities in a coordinated way.

Recommendations

a. A good practice that should be followed by other LGUs; b. National Standards (model building design) does not apply in some areas of CAR

there is a need for a more flexible approach at local level in line with community needs. Local knowledge and locally appropriate designs should have greater support.

5. On the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)

Project Description

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a poverty reduction strategy that provides grants to extremely poor households to improve their health, nutrition and education particularly of children aged 0‐14. The flagship program 4Ps or Conditional Cash Transfer aims to address poverty by investing on human capital particular on the individual’s health, nutrition, and education. The beneficiaries must meet the conditions of the program to avail cash grants and each household beneficiary will receive cash grants for at most five years. It provides each family beneficiary a cash grant of P500 per month or P6,000 a year for health and nutrition expenses and P300 per month per child or P3,000 for one school year or 10 months for educational expenses for a maximum of three children per household as long as they comply with the conditions. Based on the data of the Social Welfare and Development (SWAD, there are 5,465 identified 4Ps beneficiaries in Mt. Province with the municipality of Bauko having the highest number


of 1,213 followed by Paracelis with 1,035, Tadian with 798, Natonin with 617, Bontoc – 396, Sabangan – 369, Sadanga – 345, Sagada – 251, Besao – 229, and Barlig with 212. Findings/Observations

a. CCT beneficiaries in Natonin particularly those from far flung barangays like Maducayan, Saliok, Banawal, and Balangao experience difficulty in reaching the Poblacion, the distribution center for the payout.

b. Accessibility posts a problem, the average time one travels to reach the poblacion is 4 hours, 2‐3 hours walk and an hour ride. The beneficiaries feel that the amount they receive is sometimes less than what they spent to reach the Poblacion.

c. Others claim they receive less than what is expected for reasons not clearly explained to them.

d. It was also observed that there are beneficiaries, who seem to be well‐off, and not really poor. When asked the question, “Anya titrabaho ni lakay mo” most would say farmer, one said she is a wife of a kagawad, and the other is into an “ukay‐ukay” business in the poblacion.

e. Despite the challenges and difficulties some beneficiaries share a positive view and acceptance of the 4Ps program. Beneficiaries admit that the program was a big help to them. They understand their roles and the conditions which they have to meet to be able to continue being part of the program.

Recommendation

a. For DSWD to look for other means of bringing the distribution center closer to far‐flung barangays, to ease the difficulties experienced by the beneficiaries.

b. For DSWD through the municipal links to continually remind the conditions set by 4Ps advocacy and conduct trainings for the parent leaders and volunteers so they can support activities at the barangay to promote public understanding and support.

c. There is a need for beneficiary updating in Natonin, and the municipal links should be vigilant about this undertaking.

d. Municipal links to verify/monitor and spot check on a regular and timely basis. This will help assess/monitor compliance with health and education conditions, operational processes of the program are functioning as intended and to trouble shoot any process problems that may arise before payout.

6. Briefing/Exit Conference

Other Findings/Observations a. Monitoring under the RPMES is not operational in Mountain Province – the Governor

and Mayors have limited knowledge on their function/mandate under EO 376 and EO 93. There is this perception of the governor for nationally implemented projects are the RPMC’s concern and not the PPMC’s.

b. LGU’s claim they are not consulted re implementation of projects in their locality, there is no concurrence and acceptance of the projects. LGUs are the end users of the projects, they accordingly should be consulted since they also have plans and priority projects for their locality.

Recommendation a. Conduct of an RPMES re‐orientation. b. RLA’s should consult LGUs and get their concurrence/acceptance of projects

implemented in the province/ municipality.
