ZAMBOANGA PENINSULA PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

FOR RESOURCE MOBILIZATION

December 2015

FOREWORD

This document is the output of the Regional Development Council (RDC)

IX Secretariat’s effort to push the development of the region by facilitating

the identifi cation of the priority interventions that need the support of donor

agencies, policymakers, particularly the region’s congressional representatives,

national government agencies, and the Mindanao Development Authority.

It is largely based on the submissions of ZamPen’s regional line agencies

and local government units. Following a set of RDC-approved criteria, the

projects identifi ed shall sail the region towards its vision of

becoming the Southern Agri-Fisheries Corridor of the Philippines.

This portfolio is anticipated to jumpstart resource mobilization as it equips a

potential investor with the details of the region’s priority programs/projects. It

shall be a living document, which needs periodic updating and monitoring.

The continued concerted efforts among the RDC IX sectoral committee

members and the Council itself are therefore fervently sought, in pursuit of

regional development.

Together as one region, we build a better Zamboanga Peninsula!

Zamboanga Peninsula Priority Programs and Projects for Resource Mobilization |1

Background

The Regional Development Investment

Program (RDIP) is the accompanying

document of the Regional Development

Plan (RDP). The RDIP translates the RDP into

programs, projects, and activities (PPAs)

that need to be implemented to realize

the region’s vision, goals and objectives.

For Zamboanga Peninsula, these PPAs are

expected to contribute to the region’s

vision of becoming the country’s Southern

Agri-Fisheries Corridor in line with the set of

intermediate outcomes prescribed in the

Plan. The region’s RDP and RDIP have

already been updated, covering the

period 2014-2016.

It may be noted that there are numerous

programs and projects proposed by

various implementing agencies, all in

the pursuit of the region’s vision. Given

the scarce resources, there is a need to

prioritize these projects. The projects that

must be implemented if ZamPen’s vision

were to be attained need to be assured

of funding and institutional support.

Hence, during its 148th Regular Meeting,

Regional Development Council (RDC) IX

passed Resolution No. IX-063-14 entitled

“A Resolution Approving the Terms-of-

Reference (TOR) for the Selection of

Priority Programs/Projects of Zamboanga

Peninsula.”

The said RDC-approved TOR was used by

the Sectoral Committees (SecComs) of

RDC IX in the determination and evaluation

of their respective sectoral priority programs

and projects as presented during the

4th quarter 2014 SecCom Meetings held

between November 18 and 27, 2014.

During its 149th Regular Meeting, RDC IX

has confi rmed the priority programs/

projects of Zamboanga Peninsula through

RDC IX Resolution No. IX-086-14 entitled “A

Resolution Approving the Priority

Programs/ Projects of Zamboanga

Peninsula for Resource Mobilization

and Endorsing the Same to Concerned

Implementing Agencies for Inclusion in Their

Respective Priority Investment Programs.”

During the said meeting, Mayor Evelyn T. Uy

of Dipolog City suggested to expand the list

of projects to include the priority projects of

the LGUs. Following the agreement of the

Council, the RDC IX Secretariat requested

inputs from the LGUs.

Additional projects were therefore identifi ed

and were subsequently endorsed by the

Council during its 151st RDC IX Regular

Meeting in Zamboanga City. The Council

passed RDC IX Resolution No. 033, series

of 2015, “A Resolution Approving the

Second Batch of Priority Programs/Projects

of Zamboanga Peninsula for Resource

Mobilization and Endorsing the Same

to Concerned Implementing Agencies

for Inclusion in their Respective Priority

Investment Programs.”

Also, aside from these (Batches 1 and

2) projects, RDC IX, through its Regional

Project Monitoring Committee and

Infrastructure Development Committee,

found the need to prioritize fl ood control

projects in the region. These projects are

also seen to be in consonance with the

scope and purpose of identifying ZamPen

Priority Programs and Projects for Resource

Mobilization (Batches 1 and 2), hence, the

profi les of the major fl ood control projects in

Zamboanga Peninsula are likewise included

in this document.

Regional Development Council IX

confi rmed a total of 67 priority projects

for resource mobilization; 48 of which are

infrastructure development projects, 14

are agri-fi shery projects, 2 are projects for

environmental protection, 2 projects for

peace and security, and 1 health project.

Except for two projects which require

further study, total amount needed to

implement these projects is about P29.82

billion.

About 82.19% of the total cost is for

infrastructure projects or P24.52 billion.

Environmental protection projects cost

P3.001billion and agri-fi shery development

projects, P1.95 billion. The only health

project, the proposed establishment of

Western Mindanao Drug Abuse Treatment

and Rehabilitation Center, is estimated to

cost P239.12 million while two projects for

the peace and security sector would cost

P124.73 million.

Zamboanga del Sur adopted the Agri-

Kalikasan Program in support of

mitigating the effects of climate change

brought about by inorganic farming

practices, among others, specifi cally the

use of harmful chemicals and inorganic

fertilizers. The province implements the

Integrated Rice-Duck Farming System

(IRDFS) using the “aigamo” method of

growing rice as this has been an effective

strategy to at least lessen the

devastating effects of climate change

while at the same time promotes food

security and sustainable development. It

involves raising both the ducks and the

rice simultaneously in the same parcel of

riceland.

lowering production cost

by eliminating pesticides and

weedicides; and,

•Ducks also serve as :

—natural weeder

—natural fertilizer

—growth stimulants

—pests controller

—schistosomiasis control

—viand from eggs and meat

However, it may be noted that the

technology can only be achieved through

adopting organic farming practices or

using less inorganic fertilizer and absence of

pesticides.

Reportedly, after experiments

were done, there are several

benefi ts found in rice-duck

farming:

•Promotes soil conditioning

and lessens the greenhouse

effect contributed by

pesticides and inorganic

fertilizers;

•Promotes health

improvement as a result of

production of organic rice;

•Increase of rice production

Notes


The provincial government of Zamboanga

del Sur is intensifying its efforts in promoting

ducks as integral component and key

strategy to organic farming. In this regard,

the Integrated Rice-Duck Farming System

(IRDFS), a policy intervention of the

province, is being proposed. This is seen

to be a pro-active way of addressing the

effects of climate change.

Considering that duck meat has become

one of the viable sources of income in the

country today and most of the farmers

are already skilled in poultry-raising, the

establishment of a duck meat processing

and marketing in the province of

Zamboanga del Sur is found to be feasible.

Duck meat processing and marketing

is a business venture

specializing in the

production of duck

meat, such as, dressed

ducks, duck sausage

and tocino, duck

(various) cuts, exotic

meat market segments

of ducks (e.g., duck leg

confi t, among others).

The project cycle

starts from the

slaughtering of ducks

to scalding/dressing

and eviscerating the

bird to trussing, storing

to marketing and

distribution.

The duck meat processing unit will be

located in a fully-fenced compound,

equipped with facilities that will be

established in conformity with the Food

Regulation Standard of the Philippines. The

fi nished products will be distributed to the

organic trading post located at Poblacion

Aurora and other major market outlets in

the cities of Pagadian, Ozamis, Iligan and

Cagayan de Oro.

The project aims to ensure the production

of organic products in the province by

making organic duck meat products

available in the domestic area.

Notes


Through the Integrated Rice-Duck Farming

System (IRDFS), rice productivity in terms

of yield per hectare, will be increased by

25% to 30%. This will result to an increase in

the income of farmers. Organic rice also

commands premium prices that are 30%

higher than that of the common chemically

fertilized rice. All these are expected to

translate into higher incomes for farmers.

A key ingredient in the success of the

organic rice program of Zamboanga del

Sur would be the access to post-harvest rice

processing facilities that are devoted solely

to organic rice. This is important in order to

prevent the possibility of “contamination”

by rice that is not organically produced.

Contamination of organic rice may occur

at any time during the process of drying,

storage and milling.

Notes


The demand for cassava is expanding

beyond local production level as most

industrial and processing companies

are utilizing cassava as raw material for

processed foods, animal feeds and even

pharmaceuticals. This shortage of supply

for cassava in the entire country has forced

industrial users to import sizeable amount

of cassava from other countries such as

Thailand and Vietnam. This increasing

demand for cassava offers an opportunity

for farmers in Zamboanga del Sur to venture

into cassava farming, owing to its ready

and stable market. The projected increase

in income could uplift living condition and

help eradicate poverty among farmers.

On the other hand, the province of

Zamboanga del Sur in its strong drive

to fully preserve the environment, has

committed to make farming

system sustainable without

sacrifi cing productivity. Thus,

organic agriculture was

implemented and introduced

to farmers particularly the

cassava farmers. The need to

supplement the production

of organic fertilizer in support

of organic cassava livelihood

program is vital in the

sustainability of the said project.

The project aims to help farmers

increase farm income and give

them the opportunity to earn at

least P8,000 per month.

The project includes two major

components:

1.Cassava Production

Cassava production needs a system

of farming that would be able to cope

up with the higher demands of end

users. This system plays a vital role for the

cassava farmers to sustain their farming

activities. In this light, Zamboana del Sur

initiated programs to help farmers adapt

the farming system with the end view of

producing quality planting materials and

establishing market linkages.

In order to preserve the quality planting

materials and sustain the gains of the

project, a cassava nursery must be

established. The nursery shall be for the

propagation and testing of high-yielding

cassava varieties for distribution to farmers.

The “cassava gahung-gahung method”

of planting was introduced to farmers in

the province to help them increase farm

productivity with less cost of farm inputs.

This method would transform traditional

cassava farming into a more concise and

agribusiness type of planting. They are

to plant cassava in a 1,000 square meter

land area per month for ten consecutive

months. At the end of the tenth month, the

farmer would be able to plant a hectare of

cassava at varying stages. By the eleventh

month, the farmer is now ready to harvest

the fi rst 1,000 sq m planted and after

harvesting, replants at the same area.

The province shall provide fi nancial

assistance to cassava farmers at P2,000 per

month up to ten months. This assistance is

in terms of loan through the Zamboanga

del Sur Micro Development Offi ce. The

purpose of this loan is to provide them with

fi nancial support during the ten months

waiting time. On the eleventh month, the

cassava would be due for harvest and

the expected payment for the said loan

wouble be charged with an interest rate of

1% per month.

With these expected volume of production

based on the said initiatives, the need to

prepare the postharvest facilities and other

support services is a must, such as cassava

driers, granulators, portable chippers,

transport vehicles, and even warehouses.

The intensifi ed advocacy and strong drive

of implementing this program is expected

to increase demand for organic fertilizer.

2. Organic Fertilizer Production

Organic Fertilizer will be produced in nine

clusters located in strategic areas in the

province. In order for the farmers to fully

use organic fertilizer, these inputs must be

readily available and accessible. These

nine clustered facilities would cater to the

requirements of the 26 municipalities and

one city in the province.

The project aims to achieve the following

objectives:

•To enhance the capacity of farmers to

implement, operate and maintain small

scale cassava farming activities;

•To promote sustainable farming

productivity using organic agriculture;

•To establish/construct warehouses

for clustered municipalities for easy and

In spite of various prospects and opportunities, the

value chain of the abaca industry in the region is

confronted with problems, hindering full attainment

of its potential contributions to the regional and

national economy. The region has to attain at least

a production base to support the perceived value

addition to abaca products in order to sustain

productivity, be competitive and thereby help

attain inclusive growth in the countryside. At farm

level, there are concerns on low productivity, lack of

planting materials, insuffi cient post-harvest

facilities and lack of skilled fi ber strippers or

harvesters. Further, clamors at the processing

level are mainly centered on insuffi cient supply and

source of appropriate and sought after typical fi ber

grades. It is in this context that an integrated

development project for abaca is pursued.

The proposed project shall involve identifi cation/

organization of farmers’ cooperative/ association;

opening of new abaca areas/farms; farm

rehabilitation and expansion of abaca farms; and

construction of post-harvest facilities. It shall cost

P71.649 million.

Component 1- Identifi cation/

Organization of Farmers’

Cooperative/Association

The project benefi ciaries will

Barangay Vitali is situated in the east

coast of Zamboanga City, about 72.9284

kilometers from the city proper. It has a land

area of 8,140.10 hectares (ha) of which

about 91 percent is classifi ed as agricultural

and the rest are fi shpond, residential and

commercial areas.

Based on the 2010 Census of Population,

Barangay Vitali registered a total

population of 8,895 persons with 2,043

households. Agriculture is the main source

of livelihood of the people in the barangay.

The rehabilitation/improvement of farm-

to-market road at sitio Quatro Ojos (West

Basilan and Sta. Fe), barangay Vitali,

Zamboanga City has a total length of 9

kilometers. It will start at sitio

Quatro Ojos splitting three

kilometers to the right which

is the West Basilan and

another three kilometers to

Project Benefi ciaries The 8,895 residents of Barangay Vitali will benefi t in the project with improved

access and mobility. With good road, the frequency of vehicle trips along the

route even during rainy season will increase. There will be reduced hauling

cost of farm inputs and produce, and other commodities. With this road, it

will spur the agro-economic development of the barangay as a coconut-

palay-mango-corn-banana- producing area; and will reduce travel time and

vehicle operating costs.

travel will be easier benefi ting the 8,895

residents, to include school teachers who

commute daily to and from their residences

outside the barangay.

With improved road condition, farmers

and other residents will have the option to

transport their produce, farm inputs and

other bulky commodities to the bagsakan

centers/main public markets via vehicles

rather than using the carabao carts or

carrying them manually. This translates

to savings in hauling and transport cost

of residents whereby increasing their

income to use for other purposes such as

food, medical expenses and educational

expenses, which contributes to poverty

reduction.

Notes


Zamboanga del Sur is endowed with vast

fi sheries and marine resources. In the past,

mangroves, seagrasses and corrals abundantly

thrived in the 15 coastal municipalities of the

province. However, increased fi shing pressure

due to infl ux of people, as well as, the open-

access state in fi sheries, the four (4) bays

surrounding the province namely, Panguil Bay,

Illana Bay, Dumanquillas Bay, and Maligay

Bay suffer from overfi shing resulting to low fi sh

productivity thereby affecting substantially the

fi shermen’s livelihood.

Moreover, siltation and pollution from various

sources aggravated the situation. Problems on

illegal cutting of mangroves, as well as, effects

of climate change such as coral bleaching

and increasing seawater temperature also

negatively impact fi sh production. On top of

it, peace and order situation in some coastal

areas continues to be a problem of the fi shers, putting their lives and

properties in danger.

Despite the development

interventions introduced, the

provincial government has still

to cater to the needs of more

than 15,000 fi shers, hence, the

proposal.

The Integrated Fisheries

Development and Livelihood

Program in Zamboanga del

Sur shall pursue mangrove

reforestation, aquasilviculture,

seaweed production, provision

of gillnets, establishment

of Marine Protected Area,

and, support to fi sheries law

enforcement.

The proposed program seeks to achieve the

following objectives:

•To develop the coastal communities of

the province;

•To provide livelihood support to the

seaweed farmers and fi sherfolk;

•To enhance the coastal and marine

ecosystem through management

interventions;

•To increase fi sh productivity and fi sh

catch;

•To improve the living condition of the

fi sherfolk; and,

•To protect fi shers from lawless elements.

Mangrove Reforestation

(15 coastal Municipalities at 20 ha/LGU x

4,000/ha = P1,200,00)

The proposed mangrove reforestation project

will cover the 15 coastal municipalities of the

province where massive mangrove forest cover

were lost due to conversion to fi shponds and

illegal cutting for charcoal and construction

material purposes. Most of these fi shponds

are now unproductive, undeveloped, and

abandoned. There is a need to revert the

forest to its original state. At least 10 hectares

of mangrove reforestation shall be allocated to

the 15 coastal municipalities. The regeneration

of the lost mangroves will likewise bring back

the healthy breeding and spawning habitat of

aquatic organisms that will result to increased

fi sh production and fi sh catch.

Aquasilviculture

(15 coastal Municipalities at 2 ha/LGU x

800,000/ha = P24,000,00)

This project shall be conducted in the existing

mangrove areas where crabs are cultured

within the mangrove forest. This production

method is environment-friendly as it will

preserve the mangroves while increasing

production through addition of crabs. Nets

will be used to enclose the mangrove area

where crab juveniles are grown until maturity.

Fisherfolk associations will be the recipients

of the project. The members will manage the

everyday activity of the project. Proceeds shall

be used for expansion or fi nancial assistance to

other associations. Each coastal municipality

shall be given at least two (2) hectare of

aquasilviculture.

Support to Seaweed Production (seedlings,

supplies and materials and seaweed dryers)

(P83,000,000)

Zamboanga Peninsula is the 2nd top seaweed-

producing region in the country next to ARMM.

Zamboanga del Sur is the 2nd top seaweed-

producing province of the region. There are

about 3,500 seaweed farmers in the province

who need fi nancial assistance as most of them

rely on seaweed capitalist-traders who lend

them capital to buy seedlings and seaweed

materials with the latter dictating the price of

dried seaweeds.

There is also a pressing need to provide

them with stilt solar dryers for their harvested

seaweeds to produce clean and high-quality

seaweeds that demands higher price in the

export market. It has been reported that

dried seaweeds coming from the region

are adulterated with sand, soil and other

materials affecting the quality and price of the

seaweeds.

Only 13 coastal municipalities are conducive to

seaweed farming. At least 5 seaweed stilt dryers

are proposed in each municipality.

Environment-Friendly Fishing Gears (Gillnets)

(5,000 fi shers x 3,000.00/gillnet = P15,000,00)

The project intends to provide fi shing gears

(gillnets) to fulltime fi shers who are not engaged

in seaweed farming. This will thwart fi shers from

engaging in illegal fi shing as they are provided

with environment-friendly gears in their

livelihood activity. About 5,000 municipal fi shers

throughout the province shall be given gillnets.

Establishment of Marine Protected Area (MPA)

(20 MPAs x 200,000.00/ MPA = P4,000,000)

Marine protected area, also called marine

or fi sh sanctuary, is an effective coastal

management intervention in depleted marine

habitats. This area is usually composed of coral

reefs or a combination of mangroves, seagrass

and coral reef-ecosystems which serve as fry

bank and provide continuous supply of fry as

breeders are protected from being fi shed.

For the past six (6) years, a number of the

province’s MPAs have been recipient of

the Top 10 Most Outstanding MPAs in the

Philippines. During the MPA Awarding in 2013,

Tambunan MPA of Tabina won the top spot.

There are 32 MPAs in the province where

most of these have very little budget for

maintenance and sustainability. While there are

Bantay Dagat members who are patrolling in

the area, many of which have no management

plans. Physical rehabilitation is also needed in

terms of perimeter buoys, IEC billboards and

resource monitoring and evaluation activities to

document the improvement of the resources.

Support to Fisheries Law Enforcement

(Patrol Boats)

(P4,500,000)

Peace and order continues to be a problem

in remote coastal areas. In municipal waters,

piracy and extortion is reported including illegal


fi shing, such as dynamite fi shing, intrusion of

commercial fi shing boats in municipal waters,

fi shers using fi ne-meshed nets, cyanide and

other destructive fi shing practices. These

activities have tremendous effects on fi sh

production and fi sh catch of sustenance fi shers

while lawless elements endanger the lives and

properties (banca, engine and gears) of the

fi shermen.

With these challenges confronting the fi shers

and the resource base, there is an urgent need

for a strong and active law enforcement in the

municipal waters. Regular seaborne patrols

must be conducted vigorously to curtail these

bad elements, however, coastal municipalities

lack the necessary fl oating assets for patrolling.

Hence, 15 fast crafts/patrol boats with

communication equipment are proposed for

deployment in 15 coastal LGUs in the province.

livestock and poultry.

Zamboanga del Norte,

however, has no accredited

class “AAA” slaughterhouse

within its component cities to

supply clean and wholesome

meat within the province

or its neighboring provinces

and cities or even export to

ASEAN-member countries.

During the 2nd Quarter

Meeting for 2015 of

Economic Development

Committee (EDCom) IX, the

province of Zamboanga

del Norte expressed the

need for assistance for the

construction of a class “AAA”

slaughterhouse in Dipolog City.

The Meat Establishment and Improvement

Program of the National Meat Inspection

Service (NMIS) provides technical

assistance to local government units in

upgrading their slaughter facilities to “AAA”

accreditation standards.

RDC IX found the project to be in

consonance with the scope and purpose

of identifying ZamPen Priority Programs and

Projects for Resource Mobilization.

The cost of the project is yet to be identifi ed

as a study is still to be conducted by the

LGU in coordination with NMIS-DA.

INFRASTRUCTURE

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTSThere are 48 infrastructure development

projects proposed for resource mobilization.

38 of which are fl ood control projects

throughout the region. The others projects

are two roads/railways, two airports, four

seaports, one energy, and one water

development projects.

The total cost for infrastructure projects

is P24.52 billion, making it the

biggest contributing sector

among the ZamPen Priority

Programs and Projects for

Resource Mobilization. Of the

total cost, the development/

improvement of airports shared

the largest slice of around 41% or

P10.07 billion. This is followed by

seaport projects amounting to

P6.62 billion. Roads and railway

projects constitute over 13% of

the total cost of the sector or

P3.24 billion.

The total cost for fl ood control projects is

P2.91 billion, while P1.67 billion is need for

the energy project. The cost of the water

resource project in Zamboanga City is yet

to be identifi ed through the conduct of an

updated feasibility study.

Zamboanga del Sur is currently

experiencing serious power shortage

because of lack of electricity supply and its

total dependency on the supply provided

by the National Power Corporation (NPC)

Hydro-Electric Plants (Agus I-VII) in Iligan

City. The province gets only about 17.700

megawatts power supply while its power

consumption during peak demand is

around 34.1 megawatts.

The long hours of brownout, from four hours

to as much as eight hours daily, has greatly

affected both business establishments

and thousands of households in the entire

province. Among the tangible solutions in

sight is the establishment of a mini-hydro power plant, an effi cient

alternative to diesel-fed

energy source and operation

of a coal-fi red power plant

that cause pollution and life-

threatening effects on the

human health and on the

environment.

The establishment of a mini-

hydro power plant has been

approved as proposed.

However, there are offsite

developments that must be

separately implemented in

order to secure the access

and management of the

hydropower plant project

such as rehabilitation/ construction and

concreting of a road leading to the

hydropower plant site.

The Rehabilitation/Construction and

Concreting of NJR Brgy. Nemenio- Muraji-

Tagaytay- Dawa Road (road leading to

the proposed Salug-Daku Mini-Hydropower

Project) will involve the concreting of

about 7.347 km road starting from junction

national highway that will traverse a short

existing concrete pavement, an ARCP

(DAR) road project and will open at least

2.0 km of road that will fi nally end at the

mini-hydropower project.

The proposed Dipolog-lpil-Zamboanga City

(DIZ) railway is a segment of the proposed

Western Mindanao Railway System. Its

estimated length is 320 kilometers from the

City of Dipolog, Zamboanga del Norte to

lpil, Zamboanga Sibugay, and onwards to

Zamboanga City.

In particular, this proposed project covers

two (2) cities and seven (14) municipalities.

The implementation of the said project is

proposed to be undertaken in 3 phases, to

wit:

Phase 1 - Conduct of Feasibility Study

Phase 2 - Construction of the Dipolog-lpil

segment (78 km)

Phase 3 - Construction of the lpil-

Zamboanga City segment

(142 km)

This project is aimed to provide convenient,

fast, effi cient and dependable transport

system to ferry passengers from Dipolog City

to Zamboanga City. Moreover, this project

will also reduce highway traffi c in the

eastern Zamboanga Peninsula Region.

Having the railway system would open

more business and livelihood opportunities

for the people out of their agricultural and

fi shery produce, resulting to the generation

of employment/job openings in this part of

the Zamboanga Peninsula.

This will further result to increased family/

household incomes, and improved

households’ access to socio-economic

services,thus, empowering communities to

become self-reliant.

AIRPORTS

The immediate transfer

of the Zamboanga

International Airport is a

signifi cant undertaking

for Zamboanga City and

the region. It involves the

transfer and construction

of a new international

airport in a 175-hectare

site at Mercedes-

Talabaan, Zamboanga

City which is about 13

kilometers North East

of the City’s central

business district (CBD). Its

current location is about

3 kilometer North West of

the CBD. The project has

the following components:

land acquisition,

construction works, and

consulting services, with

a cost of P9.8 billion (2012

prices).

Among the several

defi ciencies of the existing

airport, operational

restrictions caused by the

surrounding obstacles,

of which removal is not

practicable, are the

overwhelming reasons

The City Government of Zamboanga, Department of Transportation and

Communication (DOTC) and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines

(CAAP) would be the lead in the project implementation.

Location Mercedes-Talabaan, Zamboanga City

Project Benefi ciaries The establishment of the airport would directly benefi t passengers from

Zamboanga City, the Basilan-Sulu–Tawi-Tawi (BASULTA) area as well as nearby

Municipalities of Zamboanga Sibugay and Zamboanga del Norte.

The New Zamboanga International Airport

shall serve as the region’s gateway to

other regions and is the entry point for

the region’s commercial and industrial

center where economic activities are

concentrated. In addition, Zamboanga

City also hosts the only economic zone

and freeport (Ecozone) in Visayas and

Mindanao, and is proximate to ASEAN

countries.

Since the Region relies heavily on air

transport to shuttle high value aquamarine

products as well as passengers, it needs to

have the necessary infrastructure support.

However, the current location of ZIA is

constrained to expand its facilities due

to its proximity to the urban core; hence,

the need for its transfer to a more suitable

site, which is safer and more effi cient to

operate.

With the construction of a new ZIA, the

following benefi ts are envisioned to be

achieved:

•Security aspects will be addressed;

•Reduce the exposure of residents/

settlements to aviation hazards;

•Allow the development of a planned

central business district;

•Provide income to the City from

investments that are expected to be

poured in the proposed central business

district;

•Induce the development beyond the

city’s 4-km radius, especially towards the

east coast; and,

•Prepare the city to projected increase

in air traffi c.

The updating of the Feasibility Study and

Master Plan for the New Zamboanga

International Airport is the primary step

needed to be undertaken which will

eventually lead to the transfer to its new

location. By having a modernized airport,

the improved air transport services is

projected to further enhance tourism

development which would greatly

contribute to the vision of Region of

becoming the Southern Agri-Fishery

Corridor of the Philippines.

A Joint RPMC-InfraCom IX Resolution

No. 02, series of 2015 was passed during

ZamPen Airport Summit on November 16,

2015, requesting the DOTC to include the

transfer of ZIA in its MTPIP and to explore the

possibility of a PPP modality for the transfer

of the ZIA.

The development of the Ipil Feeder Airport

is a major project that needs to be

implemented considering the strategic

position of Ipil at the center of the region.

Currently, the airport is being utilized by

private light planes and military helicopters.

The project aims to upgrade its facilities,

namely:

a) Continuation of the concreting of the

runway with shoulder grade

correction;

b) Site acquisition for landslide area and

runway strip width correction;

c) Construction of perimeter fence;

d) Construction of apron

and taxiway;

e) Construction of terminal

building including water

system; and,

f) Construction of

administration and utilities

building, among others.

The proposed project will cost

P198 million.

The Ipil Airport serves as an

alternative entry point for the

region’s commercial and

industrial economic activities.

Its strategic location at the

center of the region opens up an easier

and faster access of such goods and

services by and from other

regions in the country.

The Ipil Airport would also serve as

alternative transportation facility to the

Zamboanga International Airport,

Pagadian Airport, and Dipolog Airport in

times of disaster or natural calamities.

The implementation of the proposed

project would contribute in addressing one

of the challenges in air transportation in the

region, particularly the need to upgrade

airports, as contained in the updated

Zamboanga Peninsula Regional

Development Plan, 2014-2016.

As Region IX’s industrial and commercial

center, Zamboanga City needs a seaport

that could cater to cargo shipcalls, as well

as passenger traffi c coming from

other regions and from the Southeast Asian

countries. The existing port in Zamboanga

will no longer be able to accommodate

the additional demands in the near future

for its use considering that it is located at

the heart of the city, which constraints its

future expansion. It is on this context that a

bigger and modern seaport is regarded as

essential for the economic development of

the City, as well as, the whole Region IX.

The proposed World Class International

Sea Port (WCISP) will be located at San

Ramon within ZAMBOECOZONE area in

front of the proposed 2nd

industrial estate. It will be

capable of accommodating

super-panamax vessels of

fourth to fi fth generation of

containerized cargo. It will

have a minimum length of 460

meters, laid out to handle two

second generation container

ships at one time or a single

container ship of the third and

fourth generation class. With a

width of 200 meters, the port

is designed to be capable

of handling passenger ships

and general cargo vessels of

about 20,000 DWT. The WCISP

envisions to attract portion

(10%) of the containerized cargo and the

volume of trade that passes by through the

region towards the east, and to be able to

decongest the local port in the city.

The facilities for the port terminal

development will basically consist of the

following:

-Working apron for the container

operations;

-Container yard (RTG operations) and

empty container stack yard;

-Container freight station and

consolidation shed;

-Passenger terminal;

-Administration building;

-Transit shed/open storage area;

-2 units reach stackers;

-3 units prime movers;

-31 units forklift truck;

In September 1997 the ZAMBOECOZONE

entered into contract with the consortium

of C.L. Rosales & Partners for the

preparation of a Master Development Plan

(MDP) for the ZAMBOECOZONE project. The

Master Plan includes the preparation of the

development plan for the industrial estate

and the international port complex and

land-use plan for other identifi ed areas of

the ZAMBOECOZONE.

ZAMBOECOZONE’s MDP, particularly

at Part II - Volume Four presents the

development plan for the proposed World

Class International Seaport Project, which

is one of the two major development

components of ZAMBOECOZONE. However,

this study was conceptualized in 1997 and

completed sometime in 1999. There are

discussions about pursuing the conduct of

updating the project’s feasibility study (FS).

The pursuit of the project will put the region

better in the commercial arena, be it local

or international trade. It is also one of the

moves that will bring the region closer to its

aspired vision. The support from the national

government in fund sourcing for the

implementation of the project is therefore

earnestly sought.

provide port facilities and services to the investors of the Authority. The City

of Zamboanga will also benefi t from the project as it will help ease the

congestion of the local port in the City thereby improving its trade link. This

will also cater to the needs of the sardine industry in the trans-shipment of raw

materials and their fi nish product. Other cities, municipalities, and provinces

within Zamboanga Peninsula are also expected to benefi t from the port.

Notes


The poor condition of existing municipal

ports or underdeveloped port facilities has

been noted as one of the challenges in sea

transportation in the region as mentioned in

the updated Zamboanga Peninsula

Regional Development Plan, 2014-2016.

The RDP enunciates the need to upgrade

the existing municipal ports across the

region, considering that the operations of

the local ports will contribute to the

fi shery sector output, as well as, to the

safety, comfort and mobility of the riding

public. It is in this context that the

upgrading, rehabilitation and expansion of

the port of Ipil is proposed.

A modernized port in Ipil will serve as the

front door and gateway to ASEAN countries

with an effi cient and integrated

multimodal system

connected to the global economy. The

project will facilitate seamless

regional cargo transport

logistics, improving the

province’s tourism potential,

investments opportunities and

industrial competitiveness.

It will encourage growth of

Dapitan City’s port serves as the gateway

to Mindanao of the western seaboard of

the nautical highway. It is a fast growing

port in the region evidenced by the growth

of passenger traffi c and motor vehicles via

Roro vessels. Passenger traffi c is found to be

increasing by 5.5% annually. Looking at the

2006 to 2014 data, volume of passengers

grew by 51%. For motor vehicles loaded via

RORO vessels, it grew nearly 5 times based

on 2006-2014 data having an average

yearly increase of 26.7%.

Dapitan City plays a critical role in bringing

the region closer to its vision of becoming

the Southern Agri-Fisheries Corridor of the

Philippines as it is not just a home of premier

tourist destinations in the region but also a

growing city where business environment is

promising and vibrant.

Due to the growing

demand, the local leaders

of Dapitan City found the

need to redevelop the

Dapitan Port.

The proposed

redevelopment project of

the Dapitan Port involves

the following components:

•Expansion of the

existing Port of Dapitan

- Expansion of port area:

land reclamation for

pier yard and parking

area

•Construction of Dapitan Grains Terminal

(by ZGI)

•Road widening

•Creation of commercial zone from

reclaimed land

•Creation of residential zone from

reclaimed land

•Beautifi cation/modernization of the

entire port complex

The project is seen to boost tourism in

Dapitan as it is potential for cruise ship

tourism aside from the promotion of

domestic tourism by bus and car and the

increase of volume of traffi c.

The redevelopment project will benefi t the

following sectors: public transportation,

tourism, commerce and trade, agribusiness,

food industry, small commercial

establishments, informal settlers, and the

local community.

The Lapuyan Port Development project will

involve the construction of a 1,660.50-square

meter port/pier, 100 meters away from the

existing port to obtain a depth of 10.0 meters,

site development and construction of buildings,

other port facilities and amenities covering

7,109.99 square meters and construction/

improvement/ concreting of the access road

with a total length of 2.5 kilometers.

The port is accessible by land from the cities

of Pagadian and Zamboanga and other cities

and municipalities in Zamboanga Peninsula.

The port can also be accessed through the

waters of Dumanquillas Bay which is part of the

Moro Gulf and Celebes Sea. To reach the port,

It takes 15 to 20 minutes pumpboat ride from

the Poblacion of Lapuyan. The port is situated in

a cove fully protected by mountainous terrain.

With the development of the Western

Mindanao Corridor (Zamboanga Peninsula and

BaSulTa), being the gateway to neighboring

Asian countries namely

Brunei, Indonesia,

and Malaysia, the

development of Pampang

Port will facilitate sea

trade relations with

these countries, thus

will essentially benefi t

the entire province of

Zamboanga del Sur.

The port will improve

sea trade accessibility

and links between the

province and other

major urban areas in

the country, as well as

international markets.

It will facilitate inter-

provincial trade and support cross-border

economic development among the provinces

and cities in the Western Mindanao Corridor,

hence contribute in accelerating economic

development and inclusive growth in

Mindanao. The likely economic impacts are:

•Cost of passenger travel or cost of

cargo freight will reduce;

•Increased capability to produce and

market agricultural, fi shery and mining

products;

•Facilitate the growth of businesses

that generate jobs and employment

and increase rural incomes;

•Generate port revenue and

employment and additional taxes to

the LGU;

•Encourage new forms of commercial

agriculture through greater access to

local and international market centers.

Location Pampang, Lapuyan, Zamboanga del Sur

Project Benefi ciaries It is perceived that municipalities in the northern part of Zamboanga del Sur,

particularly in the 2nd congressional district, are the direct benefi ciaries of

the project. Their locations are strategic to Pampang Port in terms of time

and distance travel. The route is even made accessible by the opening of

farm to market roads leading to national highways, traversing the major

thoroughfares in the province. Directly benefi ted are the population in

the road infl uence areas of the secondary road that starts from Imelda in

Zamboanga Sibugay traversing Bayog and Diplo, Kumalarang to Lapuyan

and Margosatubig and the coastal road project to be constructed from

Dumalinao- San Pablo- Dinas- Dimataling- Tabina- Pitogo- V. Sagun-

Margosatubig.

The port will serve as the major operating

terminal of feeder ports (small fi shing ports) in

the province. It will serve as a cargo port in

the Zamboanga Peninsula region to load and

unload numerous cargoes, such as grains,

other agricultural, fi shery and mineral products,

from all over the province and even from the

nearby cities and municipalities of neighboring

provinces for shipment to the port of

Zamboanga City, being the gateway to BIMP

EAGA. The province will endeavor to open a

market for its organic rice and other organically

grown agricultural crops in the international

market, including globally competitive agri-

based products and duck meat.

Together with other ongoing and planned

investment on improving farm to market

connectivity to scale up local industries in

agriculture, fi shery, mining and tourism, the

project will enhance the province’s business

environment to sustain trade with neighboring

Asian countries by reducing the cost and

increasing the reliability of transport of goods

and services from the province to commercial

market centers in the region and international

market in the BIMP EAGA.

The project will also reduce poverty by

providing access to employment opportunities,

markets and growth centers. It will also promote

private sector participation by encouraging

them to increase capital investment in the

province.

It will also contribute to the empowerment

of the poor, enabling their participation in

community and wider decision making and

overcoming social, cultural, and physical

barriers, including geographical isolation.

The project is vital in advancing peace

and security efforts in the province. It would

expedite the mainstreaming of lawless elements

into the folds of the law via access to livelihood

and employment opportunities. Proliferation of

illegal drugs and other forms of criminalities in

the province will be eradicated.

The project shall have an estimated cost of

P134.0 million broken down as follows:

Due to its need of having a stable power

supply, the province of Zamboanga del

Norte proposes the development of three

(3) mini-hydropower plants. This will aid the

current state of unreliable power supply

demonstrated by the occurrence of

blackouts that hamper various activities in

the region.

The LGU of Zamboanga del Norte further

proposes 2 major projects, viz.:

1] the conduct of a full blown feasibility

study for 3 mini-hydro power plants; and

2] the development and operation of 3

mini-hydro power plants.

The initial study showed the potential of

Dapitan River for the development of 3

mini-hydro power plants - the upper,

middle and lower power plants. If all

three power plants will be developed and

operationalized, all will produce/generate

a combined total of about 12 megawatts.

This will partly address the power shortage in

the province.

Stable power supply is one of the key

ingredients in enticing the infl ow of

investment in any locality. It is a basic

need to households, institutions , big

and small establishments/businesses. The

infl ow of investments for value-adding

activities, in particular, will result to better

The province of Zamboanga del Sur has

three main watersheds that support the

socio-economic environmental activities

of its constituents and play a crucial role in

the achievement of the local government’s

goals for food security, economic viability

and the effective delivery of basic services

to the people.

The Dinas river watershed covers the

protected area of Mt. Timolan in Tigbao,

one of the natural treasures of the province.

It has two surface waters known as the

Lake Maragang, a 22-hectare heart-shape

crater and Lake Timolan, a one-hectare

crater lake nested near the Timolan

Peak. It was declared as the Provincial

Park in June 1992 through

Regulatory Ordinance No.

2 and became one of the

national treasures through

Presidential Proclamation

No. 354, s. 2000, declaring

it as one of the protected

landscapes of Zamboanga

del Sur. From Mt. Timolan, it

traverses to the mountains of

San Miguel and Dumalinao,

going to the valleys and

plateaus of Guipos and San

Pablo and the lowlands of

Dimataling and Dinas.

The second watershed

covers the beautiful lake of

the municipality of Lakewood and one of

the eco-tourism destinations of the province

and the mountain of Sirongan and it

passes through the plains of Kumalarang

and empties at the Dumanquilas Bay,

infl uencing the fi shing industry of four

component municipalities of Kumalarang,

Lapuyan, Margosatubig, and Vincenzo

Sagun.

province is also endowed with lovely

seascape through the diverse coastal

resources of the Illana, Maligay and

Dumanquilas Bays. It has protected

mangroves, corals, sea grasses and is

accented by beautiful islands and white

beaches which is the habitat of the

endangered sea turtles.

The coastal ecosystem of the province

serves as the catchment of the agro-

forestry activities from the upland down to

the lowland. The lowland ecosystem holds

the residential and agricultural activities

which will affect the coastal environment

that serves as the buffer between the

terrestrial and coastal ecosystems.

The municipality of Dinas holds the biggest

area of the mangrove forest at about 4,000

hectares and the rest of the municipalities

hold pockets of it that serves as the shelter

and habitat of fry and other marine

species. Mangrove forests of the Baganian

Peninsula is being threatened by massive

illegal cuttings of mangroves that affected

the fi sh stocks of the said fi shing ground.

Aside from the illegal cutting of mangroves,

Baganian Peninsula coastal areas are also

facing the problem on illegal fi shing like

cyanide fi shing that damaged the coral

reefs and sea grasses whose underlying

cause is the weak implementation of

environmental policies at the municipal

and barangay governments.

Barangay Pisaan of Dinas was once a

reforested area in 1998 but presently,

only the exterior part of the area has the

presence of mangrove and the inner

portion is barren. There are approximately

60 charcoal ovens destroyed during

the actual inspection of the area which

manifests that illegal cut mangroves are

turned into charcoal.

These problems lead to environmental

degradation which will further lead to the

reduction of fi sh stocks that redound to the

decreasing trend of fi sh catch of the small

fi sher folks, affecting their family income

and making them vulnerable to risk.

The proposed program aims at achieving

the following goals and objectives:

Goal:

Upliftment of the socio-economic

well-being of the poor households and

vulnerable groups of Zamboanga del

Sur.

Objectives:

•Increase fi sh catch of the small

fi sherfolks by 20% annually by the end of

the project life;

•Increase family income of the fi shing

and farming households by 20% at the

end of project life; and,

•Increase fi sh stock of the fi shing grounds

of the Yllana, Maligay and Dumanquillas

Bays thereby making Zamboanga del

Sur as one of the rich fi shing grounds of

Zamboanga Peninsula.

Notes


The proposed waste-to-energy project of

the provincial government of Zamboanga

del Norte envisions to address waste

management problems and unresolved

power shortages besetting the province.

The facility will utilize tons of wastes for

conversion to biofuel to be used to fi re-up

diesel fed generators to produce power.

The facility is proposed to process all known

wastes, organic wastes, recyclable wastes,

hazardous wastes, liquid wastes to achieve

zero-waste.

Following the worldwide estimate of a kilo

of wastes generated by each household, it

is estimated that the cluster of LGUs within

the periphery of the proposed facility is

estimated to generate a total of 88.53 tons

of wastes. Implementation of the project

will involve three phases:

•Phase 1 – Conduct of

a feasibility study for the

proposed project

•Phase 2 – Development/

Construction of the WTE

facility

•Phase 3 – Operation and

Maintenance of the

facility

Solid waste management

to achieve zero waste

will greatly impact on the

health and sanitation of

the populace. A healthy

populace is an ingredient to economic

growth in the same vein. The power that will

be generated from the facility will greatly

impact on the development of all sectors

in the economy. With a robust economy,

the government, together with the private

sector, can jointly extend the services

that the populace need to become

empowered and self-reliant.

Estimated to cost P800 million, the project is

hoped to be implemented through public-

private partnership.

Data from Philippine Drug Enforcement

Agency (PDEA) Region 9 revealed that an

average of 132 drug-related cases is

reported in the region in 2009. An addition

of around 100 to 150 people is estimated

to have problems with substance abuse. In

2014, PDEA reported a total of 873 drug-

related operations in the region, with more

than half of the operations conducted in

Zamboanga City.

However, the region has only one facility

which caters to the need of drug abuse

treatment and rehabilitation. This is a

privately-owned facility located in

Zamboanga City and has 30-bed capacity

only. During the last fi ve years, the local

government unit of Zamboanga City

provided P1.7 million as a yearly subsidy to

this facility. On the

monthly average, 20

patients are admitted

for treatment and

rehabilitation.

However, the facility

does not admit female

patients and they

are often referred to

Ozamis City, Cagayan

de Oro City or Davao

City.

To respond to the

need and in line with

the region’s thrust

of strengthening

the access to quality health and nutrition

services, the Western Mindanao Drug

Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation Center

(DATRC) is proposed.

DATRC will provide access to quality drug

treatment and rehabilitation of patients in

the region. Patients need not travel to other

regions to be treated, thereby, easing the

fi nancial constraints for such treatment.

The proposed project is an 88-bed

capacity DATRC that will cater to 56 male

and 32 female patients. The facility will

be located within the Mindanao Central

Sanitarium in Pasobolong, Zamboanga

City and will cover a total land area of

5,568 square meters. It will include the

construction of an administrative building,
