message from the chairman of the board

The year 2011 marks another important milestone for SOCSKSARGEN Area Development Project (ADP) Office. It very well supported the key programs and initiatives of the Department of Agriculture in providing safe and sufficient food to our people amidst the natural disaster encountered during the year.

The dynamic participation of the local governments, private sector and non-government organizations in the SOCSKSARGEN ADP Board, paved way to the orderly and fast-tracked development of agricultural projects. The Board also approved significant policies directed towards smooth implementation of the SOCSKSARGEN Integrated Food Security Program. Through this, farm-to-market roads and agriculture support facilities are made sustainable.

In the promotion of an integrated area development approach, we have strengthened coordination and collaboration with other national government agencies for the development of vital transport facilities in SOCSKSARGEN such as the airport, seaports and regional road networks which will hasten exports of agriculture commodities. Various interventions for the modernization of these facilities have been identified and promoted for public-private partnership.

Bilang Chairman ng SOCSKSARGEN ADP Board, binabati natin ang bumubuo ng SOCSKSARGEN

ADP Office, ang mga ka-partner na LGUs, at kasama mula sa pribadong sektor, non-government organizations at iba pa sa kanilang pagtutulungan para patuloy na maiangat ang sektor ng agrikultura.

Sa taong 2012, nahaharap ulit tayo sa mga panibagong hamon upang mapanatili o di kaya’y mahigitan pa ang kaunlaran na ating nakamtan. Tulong-tulong tayo sa pag-angat ng mga magsasaka, mula sa pagiging producers hanggang sa pagiging progresibong katuwang sa kaunlaran ng rehiyon.

Mabuhay!

message from the vice-chairman

Greetings of Peace and Food Security!

Foremost, I would like to thank my colleagues in the SOCSKSARGEN Area Development Project (ADP) Board for their support since I assumed post in October 2011. It is my pleasure to serve SOCSKSARGEN thru the ADP which, for so many years, has been a catalyst for economic growth and development of the area.

We are especially grateful to our early leaders who, having recognized the potential strength of SOCSKSARGEN, set a vision and carried-out the growth initiatives through this special body for the last twenty years. The extension of the project until 2016 as provided in Executive Order No. 16, series of 2010 is again calling for continued partnership among key players and stakeholders in the implementation of food security and key development plans and programs in support to peace and development in Mindanao.

Our development interventions under the SOCSKSARGEN Integrated Food Security Program are vital to enhancing the capabilities and the quality of life of our rural farmers.

Relevant initiatives aimed at improving transport and food trade are actively pursued by the Board. It significantly passed and endorsed resolutions engaging the support of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the conduct

of feasibility studies and completion of priority intra-regional road networks that will provide the people of SOCSKSARGEN access to more economic opportunities. It also pushed for the improvement of the General Santos City airport to optimize its use and adequately cater to current and future demands. Such concerns were actively heeded by the Department of Transportation and Communication and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.

I therefore commend the committed men and women of the SOCSKSARGEN ADP Office, our partner Local Government Units, national government agencies, non-government organizations and the private sector for undertaking the various initiatives during the year.

Rest assured that we at the ADP Board will continue to push for significant policies and interventions to ensure stable food supply, combat poverty and bring equitable economic progress to SOCSKSARGEN.

executive summary

Year 2011 is the beginning of another

six-year journey of the SOCSKSARGEN

Area Development Project (ADP) in the

implementation of food security program.

As Special Project under the Department of

Agriculture, its coordinative function was

extended until 2016 per Executive Order

No. 16 signed by President Simeon Benigno

Aquino III on December 21, 2010, to fast-

track construction of vital infrastructure and

to sustain regional efforts, particularly in

the implementation of food security and key

development plans and programs in support

to peace and development in Mindanao.

Under the SOCSKSARGEN Integrated Food

Security Program (FSP), the projects for the

next six years are focused on the construction

and provision of postharvest facilities and

other agri-support infrastructure and services,

particularly farm-to-market roads (FMR). A total

of 115 kilometers is targeted to be concreted

and upgraded by 2016; the rest are provisions of

postharvest facilities and equipment and other

agri-support facilities which will require a total

budget of PhP993 million (DA fund). Moreover,

big agri-infrastructure investments such as the

GSC Abattoir, GSC Integrated Transport and Food

Terminal, Mango Processing Plant, and Grains

Terminal were included in the 6-year FSP Plan

under the Public – Private Partnership (PPP) as

proposed by the Local Government Units (LGUs).

All projects under the SOCSKSARGEN FSP, except

for the CY 2011 projects and the proposed

PPP projects, will be implemented by contract

and under a DA (85%) and LGU (15%) funding

scheme based on the implementation guidelines

approved in October 2011.

For 2011-2016, bulk of the funds is allocated

for the concreting of FMRs. Indeed, the shift

in FMR implementation from rehabilitation to

concreting is a welcome development in the

agriculture sector to establish climate-resilient

and sustainable roads. In CY 2011, a budget of

PhP 50 million was approved for the concreting

of 6 FMR projects comprised of 4.01 kilometers

and for program management. Despite the late

release of allotment, procurement process was

finished and project mobilization/construction

started in December 2011. The FMR projects are

targeted to be completed in the first quarter of

2011 to serve over 2,000 hectares of production

area and benefit 13,792 rural populace.

On the other hand, 4 carry-over projects

were completed in 2011 comprised of 3 FMRs

and 1 training center which provided better

opportunities to farmers. The completion of 4

projects brought the cumulative accomplishment

to 119 projects for the period 2003-2011, posting

an accomplishment of 92%.

A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 1 14

In the evaluation conducted on earlier completed

projects, the farmer-beneficiaries reported the

benefits provided by the Food Security Program.

Completed road projects enhanced the productivity

of farmers, improved the delivery of products, and

increased socio-economic activities in the project

influence barangays and in effect increased the

incomes of rural farmers.

The active performance of the ADP Board is vital

in the expeditious execution of Food Security

Program and other development initiatives in the

region. Under the dynamic leadership of Secretary

Proceso J. Alcala, the Board and Executive bodies

convened thrice in 2011 to address both current and

long-standing issues relative to food security and

development undertakings in the region. The Board

and EXECOM passed and approved eight resolutions

which comprised of the following: requesting for fund

support for the conduct of feasibility studies of the

proposed PPP projects and priority intra-regional road

networks; creation of a Technical Working Group that

will undertake collation of socio-economic data for

the proposed intra-regional road projects; requesting

the early preparation of the GSC Airport Master Plan

and settling issues on airport improvement works;

supporting the approval of House Bill 3832 – an act

establishing Mt. Matutum as a protected area under

the category of protected landscape, providing for

its management and for other purposes; adoption of

the new FSP Implementation Guidelines; and election

of Board Vice Chairman in the person of Governor

Emmylou Taliño – Mendoza of North Cotabato.

The ADP Board strongly supports the development of

the GSC airport and intra-regional road connectivity.

The airport is crucial particularly to agri-fishery trade

which is the primary economic driver of the region. With

the intervention of the ADP Board, the Department of

Transportation and Communication finally prioritizes

the improvement and upgrading of airport facilities

and funding for the technical study to optimize

utilization of the airport within its medium-term plan.

Similarly, 9 intra-regional road networks prioritized

by the LGUs were endorsed to the Department of

Public Works and Highways for completion and for

conduct of feasibility studies. These road projects will

accelerate movement of people and goods from one

province to another which is critical to trade and food

security.

With more programs and projects to implement until

2016, the ADP Office along with other key players of

SOCSKSARGEN will have continue the collaborative

efforts for the attainment of food security and

sufficiency and inclusive growth in the region.

SOCSKSARGEN FOOD SECURITY PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The Department of Agriculture (DA) allocated a Special Budget in the amount of PhP 50 million for the

ADP Office in 2011. Despite the late release of funds from the Department of Budget and Management,

timely implementation of food security projects was carried-out, with the procurement process

completed in the 4th quarter and project mobilization/construction initiated in December 2011. Re-

scheduling of the program activities from the 1st semester to 2nd semester of the year was undertaken,

devoting the early part of the year in the updating and review of proposed projects for the period 2012

to 2016 and in assisting Local Government Units (LGUs) in the preparation of the CY 2011 pre-project

implementation requirements.

A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 1 112

rural roads is targeted to be concreted and upgraded until

2016.

The 6-year Plan consists of 131 agri-infrastructure projects

with an estimated DA budget of PhP 993 million (cost

of PPP projects not included). Of the total budget, 77%

share will be spent for FMRs, 7% for postharvest facilities

and equipment, 3% for market-related infra, 0.4 % for

technology demonstration for grains and high value crops,

and 13% for program management. Implementation of

these projects, except for the proposed PPP projects, will

follow the DA (85%) – LGU (15%) cost-sharing scheme based

on the new FSP Implementation Guidelines approved by

the SOCSKSKSARGEN ADP Board Executive Committee in

October 2011. The projects are geared toward increasing

productivity, stimulating and increasing agri-production and

improving the lives and incomes of farmers in the long term.

The programs, projects and strategies under the

SOCSKSARGEN Integrated Food Security Program Plan for the

period 2011-2016 were a product of a multi-sector planning-

workshop which are consistent with the development thrusts

of the LGUs, and in line with the President’s Social Contract

with the People and the Philippine Development Program

(PDP) Goals.

Efforts for the next six years are focused on concreting and

upgrading of farm-to-market roads (FMRs), provision of

postharvest facilities and equipment to include tramline,

dryer, sheller and milling equipment, and village-level fruit/

food processing centers, and promotion of application/

adoption of efficient technologies and good farming

practices on basic food (rice and corn) and other priority

and highly potential crops (i.e. coffee, palm oil, etc.) through

conduct of technology demonstration.

In line with the initiative of the national government to

encourage Public – Private Partnership (PPP), few big-ticket

projects such as the GSC Abattoir, GSC Integrated Transport

and Food Terminal, Mango Processing Plant, and Grains

Terminal were included in the Plan for PPP implementation as

proposed by the LGUs.

The current strategies of the national government include the

re-design of FMRs from rehabilitation to concreting for better

quality and therefore better services to farmers. In the past,

rural road projects are limited only to rehabilitation. Concrete

roads will help preserve the quality of agricultural products

and will hasten delivery of products to the market or nearest

distribution areas. In SOCSKSARGEN, a total of 115 kilometer-

SOCSKSARGEN SECURITY PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Concreting of 6 FMRs with a total length of 4.01

kilometers was approved under CY 2011 SOCSKSARGEN

Food Security Program. Preparation and review of

project requirements such as the Program of Works

(POW), Plans and Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

were undertaken by the LGUs and the SOCSKSARGEN

Technical Team during the second quarter of the year.

Procurement process was done from third to fourth

quarters, which made way to project mobilization and

construction in December 2011. As of 31 December

2011, one of the 6 projects – the Concreting of Lanoon

– Aroman FMR in Carmen, North Cotabato already

accomplished 42.39 percent.

Implementation of the CY 2011 projects is being

expedited to hit its target completion date by first

quarter of 2012. Once completed, the roads will be

serviceable to approximately 13,792 farmers and

residents and 2,073 hectares of existing production

areas, mostly planted with corn, rice, banana, mango,

papaya, coconut, rubber, oil palm, abaca, and rootcrops.

As a result of the national elections in May 2010, there

was a slight delay in procurement process with project

implementation spilling-over to 2011. Of the 7 carry-over

projects, 3 FMRs (23.68 Kms) and 1 Training Center were

completed before year-end, benefiting 1,950 farmer-populace

and serving an influence production area of 1,911 hectares in

the rural barangays of Sarangani, North Cotabato and General

Santos City. Farmers who have been directly served by the

farm-to-market roads affirmed that these projects made their

farm activities easier and provided them better economic

opportunities. Story on page 21.

On the other hand, 3 remaining road projects in 2010

covering 13.46 Kms are expected to be completed in the

first quarter of 2012. Frequent rainfalls particularly in the

upland areas where most of the road projects are located

caused damages on the access roads. This significantly

contributed to the delayed completion of projects. Photos

Rehabilitation of Golden Plains-Purok Blel FMRBrgy. Sinawal, General Santos City

Rehabilitation of Datal Bila – Gomelo – Datal Batong FMRMalungon, Sarangani

The community living in Barangay Sinawal of General Santos City experienced multitude of opportunities and saw

their lives change since the SOCSKSARGEN Food Security Program-funded road was rehabilitated in May 2011. The

improved Golden Plains-Purok Blel Farm-to-Market road has widened the old narrow path farmers used to haul

their produce, which provided efficient postharvest handling services, both for commodities and facilities (e.g.

travelling shellers), and encouraged new business ventures in high value crops and vegetables such as the recent

establishment of shallot onion plantation in the area.

Rehabilitated in 2011, the 13.02 – kilometer Datal Bila-Gomelo-Datal Batong FMR in Malungon, Sarangani Province

is now improving the socio-economic activities of the locality. Costing PhP 9.8 million, the improvement of the road

increased vehicle traffic in the area by 70-80%, mostly supporting transport of agri products from the production

sites to the market places. The average daily number of vehicle passing the area grew from 3-5 vehicles in the prior

years to about 65 vehicles at present. Available mode of transport in the area includes motorcycles, hauling trucks,

and other four-wheeled vehicles. Now, farmers save about 45 minutes in time in transporting their products to the

nearest market in Polomolok and Malandag municipalities.

Moreover, idle lands have been planted with vegetables,

pineapple and corn. Today, an estimated 75 hectares of newly

developed areas are being propagated with diverse crops. The

road is currently servicing a total agri-area of about 1,600 hectares.

Construction of Training CenterBo. 2, Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat

In 2010, the provincial government of Sultan Kudarat prioritized

the construction of the Provincial Training Center in Tacurong City

amounting to PhP 3.977 million under the SOCSKSARGEN Food

Security Program, to house training activities aimed at enhancing

the capabilities of farmers in crop production.

The two-storey building aptly equipped with facilities is now

being utilized by the farmers. The facility is located adjacent to

the Provincial Soils and Water Laboratory – a project also funded

under the SOCSKSARGEN Food Security Program in 2006. In 2011,

22 capability building seminars/trainings/meetings related to

crop production technologies and soil and water management,

participated by a total of 480 farmers were held in the training

center.

SOCSKSARGEN SECURITY PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS In 2010 to 2011, the Office conducted an evaluation of completed FMR and irrigation projects funded

in CYs 1999, 2000, 2003 and 2004. The scope of evaluation was to assess the physical condition

of the earlier implemented projects and how these projects impacted the lives of our farmer-

beneficiaries. The evaluation report will be finalized and packaged in 2012.

“Roads to Better Lives”

The rehabilitation of Tacul-Magbok-Paraiso Road was done in 2 phases. The Phase 1 project having a length of 1.5 kilometers was completed in August 2004, while Phase 2 – an extension to the earlier project which has a length of 1.7 kilometers was completed in November 2005.

After the road was rehabilitated, local traders and investors flocked to the remote villages of Magsaysay in Davao Del Sur and of Tulunan in North Cotabato, encouraging local farmers to plant selected high value crops for trade. Corn, rubber, banana and coconut plantations dominated the area giving the locals employment and relatively good income. During wet season, farmers in lowland areas were accustomed to planting their fields with rice and replacing it with corn during dry season.

A 20% increase in yield was noted thereafter which made local community realize the significance and effects of good road. The local farmers attributed the yield increase

to efficient transport of commodities, introduction to advanced farm technologies and access to farm inputs. “Prior to road rehabilitation, buyers and traders won’t go here; we farmers had to trade our products to the local market. Now we have two options—to sell to the contact buyers, or bring and sell our produce to the nearby market with much ease”, said Mr. Gil Talinting, Sr. a long-time farmer in the area.

Moreover, with better roads and increased traffic, small businesses like sari-sari store, vulcanizing shops and other services flourished in the area. The emergence of new economic activities resulted to almost 50% increase in the average household income. Travel time and travel cost dramatically decreased to 75% and 66%, respectively.

Consequently, the Local Government of North Cotabato, along with the barangay LGU ensured that the road will be regularly maintained so as to keep the opportunities coming.

SUCCESS STORIES

A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 1 1 21

SUCCESS STORIES: ROADS LEADING TO BETTER LIVES

Tamban-Alegria FMR, Phases 1 and 2

Poor roads were a long time clamor of the people in the vast

upland area of Alabel and Malungon municipalities. Due

to poor roads, the locals are restrained from availing social

services in education and health, as well as some economic

opportunities which are commonly available in poblacion or

urban areas. The communities are further constricted by the

limited transport services resulting from the lack of interest

of rural vehicle owners to operate. With this limitation, the

locals have to bear the two to three hour walk along with

their animal-driven carts to the market when delivering and

purchasing goods.

With the rehabilitation of 8.96 – kilometer Tamban-Alegria

FMR, farmers can now purchase and transport their products

much faster and easier. The road project has since serviced

an estimated of 3,275 hectares production area. Different

crops like sugarcane, corn, abaca, mango and coconut were

produced by farmers regularly in the highlands as traders

constantly drive-in during harvest to buy their products. Hence,

habal-habal and public utility jeepneys regularly ply these

routes. As a consequence, travel time reduced by as much as

75%. Furthermore, with market opportunities and access on

farm inputs, farmers were able to increase their production by

50%, contributing an increase of about 170% to the average

annual income of the households.

“It is a path not only to increasing famers produce and

income, but a path to education – it

connects youth to school. The

road will make everyone’s life

better!” shared Mrs. Juanita Tuazon

of Brgy. Tamban, Malungon.

Silway 7 (RCDG) Bridge

Years earlier, locals were using an old hanging bridge to

cross over the Silway River in Polomolok before reaching the

highway, notwithstanding the impending danger posed by

the rising water level due to heavy rains. On the other hand,

vehicles and animal-drawn carts were using the alternative

route that passes through another barangay covering a

distance of 8 kilometers to the national highway. This is twice

the distance compared to travelling through the bridge.

To address the needs of the local community, the DPWH

constructed 2 abutments to replace the old hanging bridge

costing PhP 1.5 million. However, the bridge remains

incomplete and unserviceable to vehicles. Thus, the South

Cotabato Provincial Government proposed for the construction

of Silway 7 (RCDG) Bridge under the SOCSKSARGEN Integrated

Food Security Program in 1999. The said bridge was completed

in 2001.

After the bridge construction, socio-economic activities within

the influence barangays of Silway 7 and Klinan 6 increased.

Delivery of basic social services improved and economic

opportunities increased, benefiting the 4,579 populace living

the area. The bridge is able to service approximately 1,935

hectares of existing production lands.

With shorter access road, the locals now bring their produce

to the nearest market in less than 30 minutes, saving

approximately 66% in travel time. Travel cost also reduced by

16%. Consequently, farmers’ profit increased as agricultural

inputs became accessible and marketing of produce

became easy. These have led to increased production, crop

diversification, and opening up of new production areas.

Production growth boosted the average annual income of the

locals up to 78%. Mango, corn, rice and sugarcane are among

the major crops produced in the area.

“I grew up in this area using the hanging bridge for a

long time. That was too dangerous, especially for kids.

Then years later they constructed an unfinished (bailey)

bridge. And finally, we have this permanent bridge which

is dependable. Our daily activities were made easy. Thank

you”, related by Lola Thelma Bagatila, a long-time resident in

the area.

Lumbang Aspang fmr

Alejandro Guitan, a small corn farmer of Sitio Aspang, San Jose, together with his son spend long hours of arduous travel using their horse driven cart packed with 5 bags of corn grits to the main road. While his son takes his way home to their Sitio, Alejandro has to wait few hours for passenger jeepneys to haul his products to market. He spends P40 for himself and for each bag of corn for the transportation. With occasional low trade price for corn, Alejandro was paid with small amount of cash just enough to buy essential grocery supplies, and low-cost presents for his children as he goes back home. This situation goes the same as it was for Alejandro and several farmers in the area for many years.

Not until the SOCSKSARGEN Food Security Program with the Local Government Unit of General Santos funded for the rehabilitation of the Lumbang-Aspang Road. This resulted to major changes in the mode of transportation, marketing of farm products, crop diversification and production, thus, sufficiently increased the income of farmers like Alejandro. By providing better road facility for easier and faster access to market, transportation of products were already unnecessary for Alejandro and his fellow farmers in Sitio Aspang, since traders are already travelling directly to their place to purchase

their produce.

“We now save the expenses in transporting our farm products as traders personally come to us and buy our products. That’s a big difference for us poor farmers”, said Alejandro.

Furthermore, the 6.08 kilometer road (6 meters width) with construction of drainage structures now served 1,314 populace and dramatically spurred agricultural development in almost 900 hectares of farmland. The area is now producing significant volume of farm products like mango, pineapple, banana, corn, onions, asparagus and different kinds of vegetables. The Local Government Unit of General Santos City had also constructed contributory farm roads as corporate plantations for pineapple and banana expand their operation.

The benefit of Lumbang-Aspang Farm to Market Road was a picture of agricultural development which translates to higher income for farmers. Note: Data gathered from actual interviews and from the office of the Provincial Agriculturist

Alip Lumaga CIS

Water is a long-time concern of the farmers in Sitios Alip and Lumaga in Columbio, Sultan Kudarat. Most farmers rely on rainfalls for their crops despite enough available water resource from Alip River. The river could sufficiently irrigate the 619 hectares of agricultural land in the area – majority of which are lowland rice areas. However, due to lack of irrigation canals, only farmers near the river can use its waters through manually constructed earth canals. This type of farming provides meager income for most of the farmers – until the construction of a 3.503 km concrete line canals and other irrigation structures under the SOCSKSARGEN Food Security Program in 2000.

And now that farmers have realized their long-time dream, they can’t help but wear a smile and reminisce how they have struggled years back. “Since my farm was located 3 kilometers away from the river, I was dependent on heavy rains to irrigate my crops. Most often, we failed as crops do not develop well without ample water. Those were really hard days,” Camilo recalled – now the President of the Alip-Lumaga-Malingen Communal Irrigators Association. “Thanks to the project! Now we don’t worry about irrigation”, he added. Asked about the improvement on his production, he gladly revealed that harvesting 25 to 30 bags per hectare before was already fine. But now, with sufficient irrigation water, plus the adoption of new rice farming technologies taught by the Local

Columbio, Sultan Kudarat

“Facilities of Change”

Government Units, “we are now producing almost 80 to 90 bags per hectare, while some may even have more”, said Camilo. This denotes 200-220 percent increase in their average yield which also increased their household income.

With the construction of line canals, irrigation water is efficiently distributed to each farmer with less seepage and water loss. The present IA officers formulated policies for the proper management of irrigation facilities, to include the regular cleaning of canal structures and conduct of meetings among the IA members. “Our association ensures that we have enough funds for the maintenance and operation of these facilities out of the irrigation fees collected from the members. The irrigation facility definitely provided sustainable productivity and income not only to the farmers of Alip and Lumaga, but to the entire community”, Camilo added.

Note: Data gathered from actual interviews and from the office of National Irrigation Administration

MANI CIS Phases 1 and 2

Irrigated crops yield higher and provide better income as they give higher assurance of marketing contracts. This credit is due to the efficient irrigation system and fine water source – a testimony from the farmer-beneficiaries of Koronadal City.

The rehabilitation of MANI CIS, Phases 1 and 2 in 2000 and 2002, respectively, under the Food Security Program boosted the competitiveness of rice production in this part of Koronadal City – now tagged as one of the major producers of rice in South Cotabato Province. The MANI CIS is managed by MANI Irrigators Association (IA) which has 408 active members covering 469 hectares of rice production. The rehabilitation of MANI CIS cost the government PhP 26.6 million, which covers the repair and construction of additional canal linings.

The rehabilitation of irrigation canals resulting to higher yields brought abrupt increase to the income of farmers. “Before we only produce a maximum of 60-65 sacks of palay per hectare. There were even times when we farmers produce only a single cropping a year due insufficient water in our field. Dry spells, droughts, and pests even worsen the situation.With the project, we now have good supply of irrigation water”, recalled Angel Villanes, an IA member. The facilities you provided improved the distribution of irrigation water to our fields. Palay needs enough water to grow and to produce well; and we now have that water supply we needed. Today, our average production is between 80 to 85 sacks of palay per hectare. This is good enough compared before”, Enrique Belonio, an IA officer said as he expressed his satisfaction over the facility improvement.

The project beneficiaries fully understand that maintenance of irrigation facilities is necessary to sustain their farming activities. Hence, the IA officials and members ensure that there is an available fund for the maintenance and operation of these facilities. “We will surely suffer if any of these facilities are damaged. That’s why we make sure that irrigation fees, primarily for maintenance purposes, are not neglected by the members”, Mr. Belonio shared.

Bayanihan is part of the operation and management scheme of MANI IA. Participation and involvement of the direct beneficiaries is encouraged even during regular cleaning of dikes and performing maintenance and minor repairs of irrigation facilities.

Regular coordination with the concerned NGAs/LGUs, in

relation to monitoring of major infrastructure projects vital

to the economy of SOCSKSARGEN, is being done quarterly.

Below are the project updates:

Improvement of Makar Wharf continues over the years to upgrade

the port facilities and services the port offer to the business sector

and the public.

In April 2011, the construction of wastewater treatment facility,

which amounts to PhP 11.2 million, was completed. The project

comprises the construction of drainage canal, bar screen, septic

vault, reactor tank, sludge drying bed, and electromechanical

system. Livestock wastewater and sludge are now directed to the

newly constructed drainage canal to attain the required volume

of wastewater for the development of bacteria placed inside the

reactor tank.

There will be more development projects under the PPA’s Medium

Term Investment Development Program (MTIDP) for the years 2012

to 2016, to include the following:

The General Santos City airport comprised of a runway,

terminal building, hangar/maintenance building, control

tower, fuel farm, fire and water systems, and navigational

facilities is nestled on a 600-hectare airport property. Due

to financial constraints, long-term development planning

for the airport was stalled.

In 2011, the SOCSKSARGEN stakeholders, particularly

the Local Government of General Santos City, actively

pursued for the development of the GSC airport. Meetings

and coordination with the Department of Transportation

and Communication (DOTC) and Civil Aviation Authority

(CAAP) have led to significant plans for the GSC airport

in the forthcoming years, which include the conduct of a

technical study for the GSC Airport Master Plan by next

year. Plans and updates on the improvement works at the

airport include the following:

Special Patent over the 600-hectare airport property. CAAP applied for a Special Patent for the

GSC airport property covering 600 hectares with the

Department of Environment and Natural Resources

(DENR). The Special Patent will be issued once issues

on ancestral land claims within the airport property are

resolved.

Preparation of the GSC Airport Development Master Plan. The Terms of Reference (TOR) for the

formulation of the GSC Airport Development Master Plan

is being finalized by the CAAP – Central Office (CO). The

conduct of a technical study for the GSC airport, which

has duration of 8 months and budget of PhP 11 million, is

targeted to be undertaken in 2012.

Rehabilitation of GSC airport terminal building and perimeter fence. In 2010, a rehabilitation of the GSC airport terminal

building and construction of perimeter fence was undertaken with a budget of PhP 21.3 million. However, issues as to

the quality of the improvement/rehabilitation works arose leading to a joint project inspection by the LGU-GSC, NEDA

RXII, SOCSKSARGEN ADPO, DOTC-PMS, and CAAP-CO. Various corrective measures and improvement of facilities were

recommended and will be undertaken by DOTC/CAAP-CO, to wit:

- Submission of Program of Works and Plans

- Rectification of all comfort rooms

-Provision of fire hydrant and rehabilitation of fire protection system

- Provision of standard signage for Persons With Disability (PWD) and Emergency Exit

- Rehabilitation of electrical system

- Waterproofing of terminal building

- Landscaping

- Additional ACU at pre-departure area

On the other hand, fencing of 1.26 km airport area amounting to PhP 10 Million was already completed. Another 11–

kilometer fencing works is programmed for 2012, with a project cost of PhP 35.8 million. More airport improvements/

upgrading are to be implemented within the period 2012 to 2016 such as the following:

1. Repainting of Runway, Apron and Taxiway Markings

2. Rehabilitation of Terminal Building to include provision of Passenger Loading Bridge

3. Supply and Installation of Bird Control Repellant System

4. Expansion of Public Parking Area

5. Construction of RESA on both ends of the Runway

6. Construction of Stockroom

7. Construction of Access Road, Sidewalk and Drainage Canal

8. Construction of Perimeter Road

Other Area Development Initiatives

Technical Support to Other Agencies on Other Development Initiatives, Agri-Industry and Environment-related Undertakings

As a coordinative body, the SOCSKSARGEN ADP assists in other development undertakings in the region relative

to agriculture and food security which are initiated or led by other agencies like the Local Government Units and

National Government Agencies in the area. The development initiatives assisted by the Office last year include the

following:

In support to the initiative of the national government

on the Food Staples Sufficiency Program to boost

production on key staples such as rice, corn, cassava

and other rootcrops to attain food sufficiency, the DA -

CentralOffice alloted PhP 20 million for the region, thru

DA – Regional Field Unit (RFU) XII, for the intensified

white corn production project.

The Work and Financal Plan for the said project was

prepared in the last quarter of 2011, spearheaded by the

Regional Corn Coordinator, Mr. Zaldy Boloron. Project

components include:

1. White corn seed production and redistribution

2. Provision of biological control laboratory

3. Farm machineries

4. Extension training

5. Market product promotion of white corn grits

DA RFU – XII is still awaiting the release of budget

for the White Corn Production Project. Target

implementation is within the 1st quarter of 2012.

SOCSKSARGEN abounds with various food commodities such as corn, rice, pineapple, mango, banana, asparagus, coconut, coffee, papaya, and other fruit trees, and meat products like pork, beef, and chicken, and also marine and aquaculture fishes with tuna on the frontline. Considering the bulk of these products, major infrastructure and facilities such as an Integrated Food and Transport Terminal and an “AA” – type Abattoir were proposed by the local government of General Santos City for funding and implementation under a Public – Private Partnership (PPP) scheme.

In September 2011, the ADP Board passed and approved resolution no. 4 requesting DA to allocate funding and provide technical assistance for the conduct of project feasibility studies for the two PPP projects of General Santos City. The City government has already committed to provide the land as a counterpart to the project. With this development, series of consultation meetings with concerned agencies were conducted, particularly for the preparation of project proposal as a pre-requisite in accessing fund support. A Technical Working Group (TWG) comprised of LGU- General Santos City led by its City Agriculture Office and City Veterinary Office,

the City Economic Management and Cooperative Development Office (CEMCDO), the DA – National Meat Inspection Service, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and the Private Sector was created to undertake initial project assessment and come–up with the most viable project implementation arrangements.

Relative to the on-going assessment of Abattoir and Integrated Food and Transport Terminal projects, the Office facilitated an orientation on PPP participated by the TWG members and Planning Officers of LGUs – South Cotabato, North Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos City in November 2011. The purpose of the PPP briefing is to familiarize with the processes of the PPP Center and learn the various PPP mode of implementation. Further, an observation tour of the Fruit and Vegetable Landing Facility in Cagayan de Oro City and vegetable production sites in Bukidnon was conducted by the group to learn about the farm-to-market operations and sound management practices of the NORMIN Veggies – a model organization handling fruit and vegetable production and marketing in region 10 which employ a PPP-type of operation.

OTHER AREA DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES

The construction/improvement priority intra-regional road projects which will connect one province or municipality to another was proposed by the Local Chief Executives during the SOCSKSARGEN Area Development Project Board and Executive Committee meetings held last year. The SOCSKSARGEN ADP Board/Executive Committee approved resolution nos. 2, and 3, series of 2011, requesting the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in their Medium Term Development Plan the priority road projects identified by the LGUs, to wit:

Road Projects for Completion:1. General Santos City Circumferential Road, General Santos City 2. Awang-Upi-Lebak-Kalamansig-Palimbang-Maitum Road, Sultan Kudarat Section 3. Isulan-Bagumbayan-Kalamansig Road, Sultan Kudarat 4. Surallah-Lake Sebu-Maitum Road, South Cotabato 5. Maitum – Ned – Lake Sebu Road

Road Projects for FS funding and for construction:1. Liberty-Palo 19-Columbio Road, South Cotabato 2. Malapag-Tinimbacan FMR and Maridagao RCDG Bridge 60 lm, Carmen/Banisilan, Cotabato Province3. Tulunan-Columbio-Tampakan Road4. T’boli – Banga – Polomolok – Tupi Road 5. Alabel – Davao Sur National Secondary Road

The implementation of these projects is aimed at accelerating the movement of people, trade of goods, particularly agri-fishery products, and other basic services to uplift the living conditions of the people in the rural areas and promote peace and development in the region.

As member of the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), the agency involved in various meetings and workshops

to revisit the Protected Area Management Plan. For the Mt. Matutum Protected Landscape, the Plan was endorsed by the

LCEs of SOCSKSARGEN. A House Bill to formally and finally declare the area as part of the National Integrated Protected

Area System (NIPAS) was already sponsored by the concerned Representatives of the 1st and 2nd Districts of South Cotabato

and the Lone District of Sarangani. Further, the PAMB has approved the Protected Area Users’ Fee for the the Allah Valley Protected Landscape (AVPL), Sarangani Protected

Seascape (SBPS), and Mt. Matutum Protected Landscape for implementation.

FINANCIAL REPORT

The operational requirement of the SOCSKSARGEN Area Development Project Office is appropriated annually under the budget of the Department of Agriculture in the General Appropriations Act. The budget is based on the Work and Financial Program submitted by this office through the Department of Agriculture and endorsed by the Regional Development Council.

However, in CY 2011, the budget of the office was sourced out from the continuing appropriation of the Department of Agriculture. It was not included in the CY 2011 GAA for lack of legal basis. The SOCSKSARGEN ADP Office had its extension only on December 21, 2010 through Executive Order No. 16 issued by His Excellency President Benigno S. Aquino III.

The annual budget of the project office covers funds for various infrastructure projects and agricultural support in the area, and office operation.
