PROTECTED AREAS AND WILDLIFE BUREAU/BIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENT BUREAU
2013 Major Accomplishments
A. Introduction
As one of the staff bureaus of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR), the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB) is mandated to protect the countrys
biological diversity, and properly manage and conserve these important resources and the
ecosystems services they provide. PAWB was renamed as the Biodiversity Management Bureau
(BMB) under the recently approved DENR Rationalization Plan pursuant to Executive Order No. 366.
Specifically, the Bureau formulates policies and assists in implementing programs which
focus on the in-situ establishment and management of an integrated protected areas system and
promotes sustainable use and protection of biodiversity at the genetic, species and ecosystems
levels. BMB also provides technical assistance to DENR regional offices and other concerned
stakeholders in all aspects of biodiversity conservation and management.
For CY 2013, several policies and guidelines were formulated. These policies and guidelines
aim to protect and conserve biological diversity in terrestrial and coastal and marine areas. These
policies also uphold the welfare of protected area-dependent local communities.
The Bureau worked with a number of agencies and partners in its effort to manage the
countrys system of protected areas including the key biodiversity areas and wildlife resources,
particularly the threatened species. The Bureau led Ivory crushing activities was hailed by both
local and international conservation communities and sent a very strong signal that the Philippine
Government will not tolerate illegal wildlife trade.
Ecotourism was also prioritized in its desire to promote and institutionalize ecotourism. The
Bureau, in partnership with the Department of Tourism facilitated the updating of the National
Ecotourism Strategy (NES). The updated NES and Action Plan provide a comprehensive direction for
ecotourism development in the Philippines.
The management of coastal biodiversity and wetlands ecosystems was also pursued mainly
through the Wetlands Conservation Program, protection of coastal habitat and resources under the
Manila Bay Project, and the implementation of the Sustainable Coral Reef Ecosystems Management
Program (SCREMP).
On the conservation of caves as well as cave resources, the 2013 list of classified caves was
endorsed to the Office of the Secretary for approval. The list will serve as a ready reference for the
most beneficial use/uses of caves within public domain and private lands. Likewise, several activities
on the implementation of RA 9072, otherwise known as the National Caves and Cave Resources
Protection and Conservation Act have been undertaken such as the celebration of the Cave Congress
on April 2013 and several consultation-public hearing regarding the bill on banning speleothem
importation.
International meetings were also hosted by the Bureau such as the 23rd Meeting of the
ASEAN Working Group on Nature Conservation and Biodiversity (AWGNCB) which was held on June
18 to 19 2013, and the 8th ASEAN Peatland Forests Project (APFP) Project Management Meeting
(PMM) which was held on July 9 2013.
The Bureau was also able to implement IEC programs which helped in educating students
and partners on biodiversity and nature conservation, such as the International Day for Biological
Diversity, World Wetlands Day, International Coastal Clean-up, and other activities such as lectures,
summer camps, tour guides, interviews, photo/video shooting.

Included in the toolkit are the Gender Analysis Tool for Ecotourism Enterprise Development,
Carrying Capacity Manual for Ecotourism Planning and Development, Terrestrial Resources
Assessment and Monitoring (TRAM) for Ecotourism in Protected Areas, and Marine Resources
Assessment for Ecotourism.
Also part of the GREAT Women Project activities was the monitoring of the
implementation of project activities by the local communities in Pamilacan Island baclayon,
Bohol together with DENR Region VII.
Capacity building on the use of the TRAM Tool was also done in Mt. Banahaw-San
Cristobal protected Landscape in Quezon Province (Region 4A) and Mt. Isarog Natural Park in
Naga, Albay (Region 5) which also serve as pilot-testing for the tool. Participants of the training
were members of the peoples organizations, LGU representatives and DENR field staff.
The Bureau also participated in the End Project Workshop wherein PAWB got a 92.5%
rating (Best Practice) in the Women Economic Empowerment scorecard and in the National
Women in Economic Empowerment (WEE) Forum held in August.

Integrated Coastal Resources Management Project (ICRMP)

The Integrated Coastal Resources Management Project (ICRMP) of PAWB aims to
enhance coastal resources through sustainable management of coastal resources as well as to
increase the income for coastal communities. The project is comprised of three components,
namely: policy and institutional strengthening and development; Integrated Coastal Resources
Management (ICRM) and Biodiversity Conservation; and Ecotourism Enterprises Development.
For CY 2013, the project was able to complete the environmental and social impact
assessment policy study and had developed an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
(ESIA) tool for the planning and regulation of small scale economic activities (SSEAs) within the
coast. A monitoring tool kit was also developed in order to guide the RPIUs and LGUs in the
implementation of their ICRM plans. A pilot workshop, for the implementation of the said tool
kit was then conducted last November 18-20, 2013 in Masbate.
A MOA with PATH Foundation Philippines, Inc. (PFPI) was also finalized in order to assist
in the formulation of modules, conduct of training, as well as in the packaging of compendium.
The project also provided technical assistance along with PFPI to the RPIUs. Moreover, a
guideline to ICRMP MPA-based Stock Enhancement and Conservation Projects: Project
Appraisal, Implementation, and Management was developed for the establishment of
conservation projects on the 50 established Marine Protected Areas. Also, through the
Memorandum of Agreement between PEMSEA and CMMO, the regional implementers of the
ICRMP were capacitated in the establishing of the Integrated Information Management System
(IIMS) that would serve as the municipal coastal database in 80 municipalities.
Trainings were also conducted such as the Integrated Approaches to Population Health
Environment Workshop which was held last February 29 to March 2 2013 at Bohol; the three
(3) trainings which were conducted in partnership with the South East Asian Fisheries
26
Development Center/ Aquaculture Department; and the National Symposium which was
conducted last Dec 10-12, 2013. The National Symposium was attended by the sub-project
proponents, Regional and Provincial Project Implementing Unit (RPIUs/ PPIUs), Coastal and
Marine Management Division Chiefs, as well as a panel of experts from different academic
institutions and from SEAFDEC.
On ecotourism enterprises development (EED), the project was able to cover five (5)
regions, 22 Self-Reliant Groups (SRG) and was able to provide Php 9.31 million as financial
assistance and had developed 55 ecotourism development projects among the ecotourism sites
(See Managing Coastal Biodiversity and Wetlands Ecosystems). The ICRMP also awarded
financial assistance to the Luyang Fisherfolks Association in Siquijor, Siquijor as well as to the
Luban Farmers Fisherfolks Association in Mati City, Davao Oriental for ecotourism enterprises
covering River/Mangrove Reef Discovery, Nature Village and Culinary. Members from SRGs
were also trained on various guide skills such as on paddling, snorkeling, trekking and birding;
and had participated in the Regional Sustainability Training which were conducted in Regions 2,
3, 5 7 and 11.
Moreover, the project developed a Product Audit Tool (PAT) which was used for the
Product Audit of 19 SRGs. Orientation for travel agencies and tour operators was also conducted
in order to impart to the group the community-based ecotourism micro-enterprises developed
in the ICRMP Regions.
Details of the accomplishment of the ICRMP for CY 2013 are shown in Annex H.

1. INDICATIVE IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT AND LESSONS LEARNED

[Narrative of emerging / indicative impacts of the project: anecdotal accounts of positive effects/changes in lives/workings of beneficiaries,
information / data]
e.g. True story of how the V and A assessment /Community-based Early Warning System and Contingency Plan established by a Project was
during a typhoon/flood/storm surge/earthquake event (how many were evacuated, identified safe areas were confirmed to be safe, local
Note the overall approach of UNDP
Strengthen capacities of local governments and communities while ensuring human rights and gender are integrated in local policies,
Complementary actions at the national and policy levels for more conducive enabling environment
Convergence in programmes and cross-practice activities
Include one (1) paragraph briefly describing key lessons learned during the year]
The regional and national consultations were an effective venue to raise awareness on biodiversity and its conservation since a number of participants were not from the
biodiversity-related agencies/organizations. This was evident from the questions and issues raised during open forum sessions, responses obtained from the evaluation forms
and closing messages of selected participants. As much as possible, participation from various sectors was targeted and to a certain degree achieved. Representatives from
national government agencies, local government units, academe, NGOs, POs, indigenous peoples (IP) and IP organizations, media, private sector and government-owned and
controlled corporations (e.g. water districts) were present.
Representatives from the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD) have committed to prepare a provincial biodiversity strategy and action plan. The same can be
explored with the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) whose representatives also attended the consultations.
Participation from the members of the Chamber of Mines was evident in 4 out of the 6 consultations which fostered a good opportunity for dialogue. The active involvement of
the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) is an opportunity to strengthen biodiversity conservation advocacy within the government agenda at all levels of
administration. Likewise, the Board of Investments (BOI) committed during the national consultation that it will promote the positive impacts of biodiversity to the quality of life
2013
through a series of consultation workshops and capacity building exercises towards identifying biodiversity-friendly businesses.
On two separate occasions, project presentations were made to Atty. Leonor Oralde-Quintayo and Ms. Marlea Munez, the new Chair and Executive Director of the National
Commission of Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), respectively. The objective is to fully involve the NCIP in the planning process as well as in the implementation of the Philippine
Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP).
Through an evaluation form, comments and suggestions from the consultation participants were obtained to improve the content and process of the consultations.
Appropriate revisions to the introductory and framing presentations were made in order for them to be more informative and relevant to the participants and to the flow
and rationale of the consultation process. In particular the input of NEDA clearly expresses the relationship between the updated PBSAP and the Philippine Development Plan
(PDP) and to a certain degree highlights that the PBSAP is solely not the responsibility of the DENR but of many other stakeholders. Evaluation results have also improved the
workshop process.The participants were clustered into workshop groups patterned after the 5 strategic goals. The PMO initially grouped the participants based on their expertise
but during the consultation participants were allowed to transfer to other groups which they felt was more appropriate to their expertise. During the Northern and Central Luzon
consultation, the Lead Expert Discussant for StrategicGoal B experienced time constraints as the group was assigned 6 Aichi Targets compared to only 3-4 in the other groups.
Thus, in the succeeding regional consultations, thisgroup was subdivided into 2 (terrestrial and marine tackling 3 Aichi Targets each) which provided ample time for the workshop
discussion. Likewise, based from the commentsof participants in the Northern and Central Luzon consultation, a glossary of biodiversity-related terms was included in the kits
in the succeeding consultations that provided clear definitions.

[SUMMARIZE RISK LOG IN QUARTERLY REPORTS Constraints in progress towards results, that is, issues, risks and reasons behind the constraints: external or internal factors
such as timing of inputs and activities; quality of products and services; coordination and other management issues; difficulties encountered in implementing activities.
Recommend a way forward. Note any steps already taken to solve the problems.]
Description
Wide participation by stakeholders
from various sectors during
consultations
The Zamboanga crisis prevented
western Mindanao participants
from attending the consultation in
Cagayan de Oro last September 1820, 2013.
The project returned its remaining
funds that were unspent in the last
6 months.
The proposed rationalization plan

may affect the action planning
process for awareness raising.
PMO has been informed that the
current focal division for IEC will
not be included in the rationalized

5. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
[Describe the knowledge management mechanism /knowledge networks and system and its impacts on the target audience;
List the knowledge products produced by the project during the year and its dissemination.]
PMO was invited on 2 occasions to present the project. These were for a group of graduate students (approximately 50-80) mainly from De La Salle University and for a core
group (10 individuals) from the Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) and the Peoples Campaign for Agrarian Reform Network, Inc. (AR
Now!). A Facebook account named "Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan" has been created which can be a venue to solicit comments once the draft PBSAP is
prepared.
6. PARTNERSHIP STRATEGIES, INCLUDING SOUTH-SOUTH COOPERATION AND TRIANGULAR COOPERATION

[Updates on current partnership strategy and their functioning as well as formation of new partnership as needed, including CSOs and private sector, other developing countries
and other development partners]
The project partnered with other PAWB projects towards the achievement of some deliverables. It works with the BPP and B+WISER projects to deliver the following
outputs: action plans for awareness raising and mainstreaming, a revitalized and functional clearing house mechanism and reporting and monitoring framework. Likewise, the
project has actively participated in the meetings and workshops organized by the NewCAP project that will develop a national PA system. The results can be integrated into the
Programme of Work for Protected Areas.
At the same time, it also provided assistance to some projects. One of these is the project entitled Removing Barriers to Invasive Species Management in Production and
Protection Forests in Southeast Asia (IAS Project)whereby training assessment questionnaires were distributed during the 2 Luzon consultations, a slot in the program was
provided for their project present during the Visayas consultation and having a number of the northern and western Mindanao participants take part in their half day workshop a
day before the consultation.
Relevant information gathered during the regional consultations were provided to the Ateneo School of Government which is preparing the 5th National Report to the CBD.

ANNEX C
Conservation and Adaptive management of Globally Important
Agricultural Systems (GIAHS)
GLOBALLY IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE SYSTEMS (GIAHS)

FINAL REPORT 2013
I. Project Title: National Assessment and Mainstreaming of Globally Important
Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) in the Philippines Setting
II. Summary
In most cases agricultural heritage systems espoused by GIAHS or NIAHS
harbour high agro biodiversity. They also harbour local knowledge on strategies for
adapting to climate change. Heritage agriculture particularly those in upland and
highland areas are part of the mosaic of forest and agricultural landscapes that protect
ecosystems important to localities and the nation as a whole. These include forests,
biodiversity corridors and watersheds. The protection of these systems will not only
benefit the host communities but the larger society as well.
A series of national and regional consultations was facilitated under the GIAHS
Philippines Project to identify potential GIAHS and NIAHS sites as well as
recommendations for policy actions, and program support for dynamic conservation of
these sites. Concurrent to the GIAHS consultations, the DENR PAWB convened
stakeholders recently to discuss about the status and needed actions to conserve agrobiodiversity. The two tracks of consultation (GIAHS and NBSAP) are the main source of
the recommendations. Three sets of recommendations have been forwarded following
the principle of dynamic conservation as advocated by the GIAHS initiative:
II.
Accelerate documentation, communication and public appreciation of local

knowledge and indigenous knowledge systems and practices including the
agriculture heritage contained therein.
Assurance of land ownership and recognition of heritage agriculture in both
national and local land use plans.
Provision of appropriate agricultural support services to areas with potential
heritage agriculture values
Objectives
The project aims to: (i) enhance the national understanding and recognition of
GIAHS by raising awareness and mobilizing recognition of the national and global
significance of GIAHS through local and national stakeholders and the public; (ii)
demonstrate dynamic conservation in identified local GIAHS through development
and testing of strategies and participatory methods for their dynamic conservation
and sustainable management; (iii) building the capacity of GIAHS farming
communities and populations including local and national institutions to strengthen
food security, reduce poverty and enhance environmental sustainability; (iv)

documentation, identification and assessment of indigenous agricultural systems
and technologies and the creation of national databases including their publication;
(v) develop appropriate national and local intervention strategies for implementing
GIAHS dynamic conservation to strengthen and empower indigenous farmers and
traditional farming communities who nurture GIAHS. The project aims to promote
dynamic conservation and adaptive management of globally significant agricultural
biodiversity harboured in Globally Important Agricultural Systems (GIAHS).

site visit
desk research and review of
agricultural systems in the Philippines
and other countries. Relative to this,
the project had conducted FGDs in
five (5) focal Regions, i.e. CAR,
Regions 2, 4B, 7, and 10 and had
visited two (2) candidate sites for
validation and documentation. Sites
identified are as follows: CAR- five

Provinces (Abra, Benguet, Ifugao,
Kalinga and Mt. Province); Region 2 two Provinces (Nueva Vizcaya and
Batanes); Region 4B (Mindoro,
Palawan, Batangas, Laguna and
Quezon); Region 7- three Provinces
(Bohol, Cebu and Negros Oriental);
and, Region 10 (Camiguin, Misamis
Oriental and Bukidnon).

The GIAHS team developed the

Philippine criteria procedures for
identification and prioritization of
GIAHS sites (Annex 3) and subjected
the same for validation by regional
stakeholders through consultation
workshops. The criteria include basic
processes and steps for assembling
information to apply the criteria on the
ground. This criteria was first
developed in a national consultation
workshop in Baguio City in November
2013, then validated in at three (3)
regional workshops and Technical
Working Group meetings. It also
benefitted
from
feedback
from
technical consultants of the NCCA
and National Museum. Four (4) more
regional consultations were conducted
to build awareness on the nature on
GIAHS
and
its
relevance
to
national/local development and to
develop a ranked list of candidate
GIAHS sites in the region. The
Workshop proceedings are attached
as Annex 4.
A National Consultation Workshop
was also held on December 3-4,
2013. It aims to: (i) deepen the
awareness and appreciation among

key stakeholders on the nature and
location of
potentially important
agricultural heritage system( sites ) in
the country; (ii) agree on the criteria
for identification and prioritization
based on recommendations from the
regional consultations; (iii) get to know
about the results and next steps for
dynamic conservation from the Ifugao
experience; (iv) create awareness on
the prospects of heritage agriculture
becoming part of the national cultural
heritage system and the processes it
will involve; (v) agree on strategic
actions that need to be done by the
different
sectors
in
order
to
dynamically conserve these areas and
ensure their ecological, cultural
heritage and economic values. The
full report of the workshop is attached
as Annex 5.
Through
these
consultative
workshops, a guide for identification
and ranking of GIAHS sites (Annex 6)
was developed. Said guide was used
in selecting the 5 priority sites for
NIAHS.
Meetings
Development of policy

of
GIAHS/NIAHS sites
A series of meetings with the National

Commission on Culture and Arts and
National Museum of the Philippines
(NMP) was conducted to discuss the
policy framework for recognition of
GIAHS/NIAHS sites. A Memorandum
of Agreement between the DENR,
DA, NCCA and NMP (Annex 7) was
developed. The MOA incorporates
the candidate sites under national
heritage system. The minutes of
meeting is attached as Annex 8.

The GIAHS Project Team together

with the DA BSWM conducted
regional stakeholder discussion to
identify challenges to the sustainability
of IAHS sites. These discussions were
part of the regional workshops done in
3 of 5 targeted regions. The
discussions indicate that the key
challenges include the a) current
government priority for optimum
agricultural productivity which would
sometimes require agricultural inputs
(hybrid seeds, agric chemicals etc)
that traditional agriculture cannot cope
with and b) land use change towards
non- agricultural land uses. The same
consultations
identified
initial
suggestions.
A series of workshops among DA
agencies and other agencies had
been undertaken to identify specific
measures to promote GIAHs with the
purview of the overall productivity
thrust of the DA.
A policy
recommendation
towards
the
recognition of GIAHS sites had been
developed (Annex 9).
As part of mainstreaming a meeting
with
National
Commission
on
Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) had been
undertaken purposely to incorporate
agrobiodiversity in the livelihood
strategic plan of NCIP.

ASEAN Peatland Forest Project (APFP)
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES

ASEAN- IFAD/GEF REHABILITATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF
PEATLAND FORESTS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
ANNUAL REPORT FOR CY 2013
A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the accomplishment of the Philippine Component for the ASEAN/ IFAD GEF
Project on the Rehabilitation and Sustainable Use of Peatland Forests in Southeast Asia also
known as ASEAN Peatland Forests Project(APFP) for the Calendar Year 2013 (CY 2013).
The objective of the APFP Philippine Component is to promote the sustainable management and
rehabilitation of peatlands through awareness raising, capability building and enhanced interagency cooperation for the benefit of the local community and the conservation of biodiversity.
A key strategy is to develop sustainable uses of peatlands by local communities and implement
conservation measures for areas of high biodiversity through the implementation of small
community-led projects at the pilot sites. The pilot sites for the component are the Caimpugan
peat dome in Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary and Sab-a Basin peatland in Leyte Island, in the
Visayas. The specific outcomes for the component are as follows:
Outcome 1:
Outcome 2:
Outcome 3:
Outcome 4:
Capacity in relevant agencies /institutions and other concerned stakeholders

on peatland management strengthened in the Philippines;
Creating an enabling environment for the conservation and sustainable use
of peatlands in the Philippines;
Land-use planning, zoning and rehabilitation measures carried out in
suitable peatland sites; and
Community-led demonstration projects formulated and implemented in
project sites.
For the Calendar Year 2013, the Project focused mainly on the completion of the remaining
target outcomes such as the establishment of the demo farms in pilot sites and formulation of
the policy guidelines.
Among the important activities are the following:
Formulation of the policy guidelines for the peatland planners and developers;
Preparation of the proposal for the carbon funding;
Production of progress/pre-completion video for the APFP;
Community Interview and Filming for Video Production for IFAD/GEF Peatland
Communication Materials by IFAD;
Continued operationalization of the National Project Implementation Committee and
the national and local working groups on peatlands;
Implementation of the demo projects in Agusan Marsh and Leyte Sab-a;
Rehabilitation in Agusan Marsh pilot site;
Hosting of the 8th Project Management Meeting and solidarity dinner.
For a country which claims to have zero knowledge on peatlands at the start of the project
implementation, it can now boast of a number of exemplary achievements in advancing the
documentation and protection of peatlands. All the target outcomes of the project have been
completed this year. This was made possible through partnership with other government
1
agencies that are very committed to the implementation of the project. Moreover, the
community reception gave the greatest contribution to the attainment of the project targets.
The Project received a positive response from the concerned peatland communities. Even at the
start, the community people are very enthusiastic and cooperative in the implementation of the
project.
One of the major challenges that the Project encountered in the implementation of the activities
is when super typhoon Yolanda hit Leyte Sab-a Pilot Site that resulted to destruction of demo
farms. Slow liquidation of funds in Pilot Sites that caused the delayed of project implementations
is another challenge in the project implementation.
B. DETAILED PHYSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Formulation of the Policy Guidelines for Developers and Planners in and around Peatlands is one
of the major achievements of the Project for this year. The said policy is one of the deliverables
and contribution of the APFP Philippine Component in the reduction of the rate of degradation
of peatlands in Southeast Asia.
Contribution of Project Outputs and Outcomes to Sectoral/ DENR Priorities
Clean Air
Project intervention helps prevent forest fire and
associated haze
Clean Water & Solid Waste Management
Resource Conservation, Protection, Productivity
Continued protection of a 5,325 hectares unique
stunted peat swamp forest within the Agusan Marsh
Wildlife Sanctuary through awareness raising activities.
The barangay leaders surrounding the confirmed
peatlands have all participated in the action planning
workshop aimed at identifying and implementation of
the demonstration projects that will showcase
sustainable agriculture based demo farms.
The local communities had established their demo
farms for sustainable agriculture.
Enhance Revenues from Natural Resources
Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
Based on estimate of recently completed doctoral
research of Dr. Van Leeah Alibo of Caraga State
University, the Caimpugan Peatlands hold about 22.9
million tons of carbon (from above biomass and peat
soil).
Good Governance
This proves that the unique peat swamp forest

formation in the Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary is
not only important in terms of biodiversity conservation
but serves as important carbon stores for mitigating
climate change.
With the support generated by the Project, local
government units concerned have prepared
ordinances aimed at protecting the unique peat swamp
forest.
Outcome 1: Awareness and Capacity Building

The following are the highlights of accomplishment for this year:
Continued operationalization of the inter-agency national and local working groups. The
National Project Implementation Committee meeting was conducted and chaired by the
Undersecretary Ernesto Adobo of Staff Bureau last 2 October 2013.
Production of progress/pre-completion video for the APFP
Attendance to the Peer Learning Programme in Banjarmasin, Indonesia last 17-19 June 2013.
Representatives from Agusan Marsh and Leyte Sab-a Pilot Sites participated in the said
activity.
Integration mapping and Project Proposal under the Philippine National REDD-Plus Strategy
were prepared.
Community Interview and Filming for Video Production for IFAD/GEF Peatland
Communication Materials by Mr. Brian Thomson of IFAD last 16-17 July 2013 in Agusan Pilot
Site. As part of effort to build a portfolio of communication materials on climate change
impacts on smallholder farmers and the adaptation/mitigation techniques, IFAD filmed
selected GEF-funded project sites to illustrate the project for broader audience. This was
displayed during the COP19 of UNFCCC last November. The output from this mission such as
interview clips and photos will be also very useful communication tools in bridging to the
next stage of the project, and promoting the achievement. The video can be viewed through
this youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQQh3UeejAs
Figure 1 Ms. Armida Andres, the Project Country Coordinator, together with Mr. Brian Thomson of IFAD.
Outcome 2: Conservation of Peatland Biodiversity

The Department Administrative Order for the Policy Guidelines for Planning and Sustainable
Development in Peatlands was drafted already. The draft policy guideline was reviewed by the
Peatland National Technical Working Group and the Technical Review Committee of PAWB. The
draft is now for endorsement to DENR PTWG.
Formulation and approval of the Municipal Ordinance entitled, Ordinance for the Protection of
the Unique Stunted Peat Swamp Forest (PSF) in Caimpugan and New Visayas, San Francisco,
Agusan del Sur and Providing Fines and Penalties for the Violators and Allocating Funds Thereof
authored by Hon. Lerriza de Leon of San Francisco, ADS was another accomplishment of
Outcome 2.

Outcome 3: Land-use Planning, Zoning and Rehabilitation Measures

Land-use planning and zoning for peatlands area are on-going. The ultimate objective is to
include peatlands concerns in the updating of the Comprehensive Land Use Plans and
Comprehensive Development Plan for Local Government Units concerned.
Two hundred (200) hectares of degraded peatlands in Agusan Marsh was rehabilitated through
the National Greening Program in partnership with Philippine Tropical Forest Conservation
Foundation (PTFCF) and Kahugpungan sa Malahutayong Kababayen-an Sa La Flora Association,
Inc. Moreover, rehabilitation in Caimpugan area was started.

young shoots(below). Photo below was taken last July 2013.
Figure 3 Latest photos taken during the monitoring of the rehabilitation area in Agusan Marsh Pilot Site.
Operationalization of the Project Buying Living Tree System (BLTS) has been started. The
operations manual and implementing guidelines of the said Project were approved already. On
site project briefing was conducted in Agusan Marsh and Leyte Sab-a Pilot Sites. Technical
Training/Seminar on the Operationalization of Project BLTS Agusan del Sur Pilot Site was
conducted last 25-28 November 2013. It was participated by 30 BFP personnel assigned in
CARAGA Region particularly in Agusan del Sur.
Outcome 4: Community Led Demonstration Project

Sorjan Farming and rehabilitation activities in Leyte Sab-a were continued however these were
stopped and destructed during the super typhoon Yolanda.
The peatland community in Bunawan, Sta Josefa, New Visayas and Caimpugan harvested already
some of the produce of the fruits and vegetables from their demo farm. In Barangay Pag-asa,
Sta. Josefa, the crops harvested from the demo farm were used in the feeding program of
Department of Education. Aside from the crops harvested in the demo farm, the parents of the
children help in cooking the food for the feeding program. An increase of 2-3kg in weight of
children was recorded after 4 month period by the local community teacher.

As part of the continuing support to the demo farms in Agusan Marsh, Dr. Wilfredo Sanidad, NTWG
member and expert on soil conservation, monitored and evaluated the demo farm of the
communities.
Outcome 5: Project Management

The Philippine Component hosted the 8th ASEAN Peatland Forests Project Management Meeting last
9-10 July 2013. Welcome Dinner and Awarding of Certificates for the Fire truck Recipient was hosted
by the Bureau of Fire Protection. Field visit in Agusan Marsh and Solidarity Dinner was facilitated by
PAWB.

The Peat Swamp Forest (PSF) is now as
considered a forest type in the country via the
inclusion of the PSF as the newest forest
typein the book Forest Formation of the
Philippines produced in 2008 through the
ASEAN Korea Environment Cooperation
Project. The lead author from Philippines, Dr.
Edwino Fernando, of the College of Forestry
and Natural Resources, University of the
Philippines at Los Baos represented the
Academe during the National Action Planning
for the Philippine Peatlands. It is considered
the first book ever in the history of Philippine
Forestry that mentioned and extensively
discussed PSF. About 10 pages of the book
are devoted to the description of the unique
stunted Caimpugan Peat Swamp Forest in
Agusan del Sur.

An In-depth Floristic and Faunal Survey of

Caimpugan Peat Swamp Forests was
completed by the Conservation InternationalPhilippines. The group from CI Philippines
includes the late Botanist Leonardo Co who
was also one of the active participants during
the NAP preparation and validation workshop
in 2006 and 2008, respectively. The
assessment and validation of probable
peatlands in the country was undertaken
from 2010 to present. The Map of Probable
Peatlands featured in the NAP can now be
replaced by Map of Confirmed Peatlands in
the Philippines.

Protected Area Management Enhancement (PAME) Project
PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT ENHANCEMENT (REPORT OF 2013)

The Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) formerly PAWB of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has partnered with the Deutsche Gesellschaft fr
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Environment,
Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) in the implementation of the project Protected Area
Management Enhancement in the Philippines (PAME). The project, which is being implemented over
a period of five years from October 2012 to March 2017, has the overall project goal of improving
the protection and management of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) in the Philippines.
At the end of the five year period, the project should have produced the following outputs:
Improved management and technical capacities of relevant DENR BMB staff at all levels;
Management of 60 existing terrestrial and marine protected areas in KBAs improved;
Additional 100 conservation areas established under innovative conservation management
systems; and,
Improved knowledge management and awareness about the values of biodiversity.
In 2013, the Protected Area Management Enhancement Project gained acceptance of a siteprioritization procedure using scientific criteria and identified priority project sites. The project also
supported the assessment of 61 (over 25% of the 240) NIPAS protected areas using the
nationally/DENR-endorsed Protected Area Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool. It has also
provided training and mentoring for management team representatives from the 61 PAs to prepare
proposals for PAMEs Partnership Fund. The Implementation Agreement between DENR and GIZ
was also signed and the National Project Management Committee and National Technical Working
Group were also convened.
The project baseline assessment is now being used to (1) plan capacity development
interventions for common problems (e.g. good practices for scaling-up), and (2) guide the
harmonization of Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016 (PDP) protected area targets, DENR
regular fund programming vis--vis additional support being requested from and to be given from
the PAME Partnership Fund.
Weak consistency from national to regional to
provincial/community/PA planning is a major constraint and is one of the major targets for technical
assistance including through a protected area planning-monitoring database (to be integrated with
existing DENR systems).
Plans (1) to scale-up the site-level biodiversity monitoring system into a national integrated
system and (2) to confirm with local partners potential new conservation areas to be established in
2013 were delayed mainly due to lack of project as well as partner personnel to focus on these.
Additional project personnel are being recruited, responsibilities being distributed, and regional
DENR personnel are being oriented for potentially faster project implementation.

INDICATIVE IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT AND LESSONS LEARNED
Indicative Impacts/Results
The Project is influencing new actors, such as the Tarlac provincial government and the municipality of Iba, Zambales to become better
involved in LCAs, as a result of its engagement with LGUs in Mt. Tapulao and stakeholder discussion on the results of BD assessment
The Projects engagement with LGUs in the sites have resulted in greater commitment by the LGUs in the process and in providing staff
and budget to support LCA planning and management activities
The Projects work in ICCA has influenced funding organizations such as FPE and PTFCF to adopt ICCA as a major strategy in their
programmes. It has also inspired other IP organizations and support groups in other countries which led to visits to the Philippines by
some IP leaders, and proposals for South South cooperation from an NGO in Malaysia to further linkages in ICCAs and learn from the
Philippine experience
The Projects advocacy work on ICCA has motivated the Congress to prepare and file a draft Bill seeking to recognize and protect ICCAs
The NewCAPP is catalysing the support of existing programmes (foreign assisted projects and development partners) in the sector
towards supporting the implementation of strategic reforms, such as capacity development program for the sector; new governance
regimes in protected area management; PA financing roadmap; research agenda; and the formulation of a Philippines PA System Master
Plan to support the countrys resilience to the impacts of disasters and better adapt to climate change. These are expected to create
lasting impacts in improving sector capacity to deal with emerging challenges, generate more resources and support, and place PA
management firmly in the socio economic development agenda of the Philippines.
The Projects efforts in PES in Mt. Kalatungan has triggered the creation of a PES TWG by the CDORBCC, and has helped picked up the
pace of PES advocacy with potential buyers.
The progress of PES work with the Miarayon community in Mt. Kalatungan is inspiring other IP communities around the protected area
to develop their own PES schemes.
The Projects support to the formation of National ICCA Consortium is paving the way for greater empowerment of the IPs and in the
advancement of their own agenda with national stakeholders. It is also serving as an effective avenue for strengthening IP links with
global initiatives and support groups.
Lessons Learned
Information on the state of BD resources in the KBA proves essential for LGUs and communities to take action. This is typified by the
experience in Mt.Nacolod where there was an observed surge in the interest and participation of local stakeholders when the results of
the BD assessment were reported. The provincial government immediately issued a statement that it would issue a resolution declaring
Mt. Nacolod as a protected area. Also observed was the sense of pride among the community members and LGU officials upon learning
of two new species discovered in Mt Nacolod, and the richness of bioligical resources in their area. The same situation was experienced in
2013
Mt. Tapulao, where the sharing of BD assessment results with the LGU officials and other community stakeholders have prompted them
to create a TWG who will work with the Project in the formulation of local conservation plans.
ICCAs are proving not only as effective instruments for BD conservation and preservation of culture and traditional knowledge.
Experience from the Banao and Balatoc tribes in the Cordilleras has shown that ICCA could become a viable means to restore peace in
places where there are tribal conflicts. Belief in the ICCA can promote agreement on common goals of protecting their sacred sites and
important cultural and spiritual areas.
The participatory mapping process, analysis of resources and common threats embedded in the ICCA procedures can become effective
entry points for setting aside causes of conflicts. The same situation happened in the Tubo and Boliney ancestral domains. Thus, the
DENR office and the Congress representative in the Cordillera have shown a keen interest in the adoption of ICCA in the entire region. The
Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Peace Process (OPAP) has likewise adopted ICCA as an instrument for peace building among
indigenous peoples.
Upscaling of ICCA would require the development of capacities not only of IP organizations but also of support groups who are expected
to provide technical assistance or facilitation work to complete the ICCA process. Currently, there are only a few organizations with the
track record, competence, discipline and values required to support ICCAs. Thus, the formulation of a national program should give equal
attention to strengthening and increasing the number of support groups who can assist such work.
LCAs and ICCAs are not fully protected by law, compared to formally established protected areas following the NIPAS legislation. Thus,
sustainable management of LCAs and ICCAs would require continuing recognition of the LGUs, IP communities, and other sectors.
Moreover, there needs to be support for these organizations to continue their roles in LCA/ICCA management. In addition, other forms of
protection should be afforded. The inclusion of these areas in the list of environmentally critical areas under the EIA system is a step in
the right direction.
There has been a huge gap in capacity development in the sector. For example, training programs on IPAF and NIPAS for new staff and
the training materials available were developed some 15-20 years ago. Thus, it is essential that a more strategic approach be adopted to
meet such demand given the limited resources of the Project. The on-going complementation with PAME, and BWISER Projects should be
strengthened to help address this need. Likewise, a more sustainable approach has to be in place to ensure continuing development and
updating of curriculum and module content, as well as provision of capacity development programs.
Initial experience in the pilot testing of PES in a PA whose headwaters are protected by an IP community has shown the importance of
demonstrating serious commitment and due recognition of their valuable contribution in conservation. It is also essential that on the part
of potential buyers of services, adequate recognition of the role of the IPs as the sellers of services be afforded.
In view of the number of projects currently being implemented in the sector, it is important for PAWB to spearhed the formulation of a
framework which sets clear directions and strategies for achieving sector contribution to national development goals. This should
facilitate coordination and ensure more effective use of available resources available from development partners.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
Throughout the years, the Project has developed various knowledge products or knowledge materials catering to its target audience and various
information needs. The Project has ensured that these developed materials are products of good or high quality with a clearly identified audience
and purpose, taking into consideration functional needs and technical levels. These materials shall be timely, relevant to decision-making
processes, and written in clear and easily understandable language, among others, for more meaningful learning and knowledge sharing.
Equally important to the development of NewCAPP knowledge materials is the dissemination of these knowledge products, since this is as
important as the development of the knowledge products themselves. Based on UN standards, an efficient system of dissemination will ensure
that the target recipients receive the feedback relevant to their specific needs. Among the most commonly applied dissemination methods for KM
products include printed reports using digital or offset printing, as well as Adobe PDF copies (or e-copies) of the products shared via the Internet,
through the Project website or e-mail message.
In 2013, NewCAPP disseminated and turned over seven sets of laminated display panels showcasing Mt. Nacolod biodiversity to the local
government units in Southern Leyte and the regional DENR office. The glass panels were distributed to representatives of at least five
municipalities and the provincial government as well as the DENR-XIII office in the region.
The Project also developed another set of tarpaulin-based exhibit materials showing Mt. Tapulao together with a printed four-page feature story
on Zambales Mountain Range biodiversity. Separately, the project also completed other four-page feature story materials this time on Polillo
Islands newly declared local conservation areas in the municipalities of Patnanungan and Jomalig, as well as on latest ICCA Consortium Steering
Committee Meeting in Rizal.
All these materials were displayed or distributed during the following events: (i) 8th Project Board Meeting; (ii) Ecotourism Planning Workshop in
Clark together with the Department of Tourism and stakeholders in Zambales; (iii) Orientation meeting on Mt. Tapulao stakeholders in Tarlac; (iv)
NewCAPP Orientation for NCIP; and (v) 4th Asean Heritage Parks Conference in Tagaytay. PDF copies of these materials are also available online
through the Project website.
Moreover, the Project was able to print multiple copies of the ICCA registry case studies for the Menuvu community of Mt. Kalatungan, Bukidnon,
and the Ayta-Abellen community of Cabangan, Zambales. This is timely as the two indigenous communities in the Project pilot sites were recently
able to register in the international ICCA registry website.
Recently, the Project was able to complete info-kit materials for its pilot work on Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) in Mt. Kalatungan. These
were distributed to PES participants from northern Bukidnon and other stakeholders within the Cagayan de Oro river basin. Moreover, the
Project is set to finish its knowledge material regarding the review of implementation of the DENR Biodiversity Monitoring System (BMS) for at
least 11 Protected Areas.

PARTNERSHIP STRATEGIES, INCLUDING SOUTH-SOUTH COOPERATION AND TRIANGULAR COOPERATION
National Government Agencies
Following formal signing of the MOA with NCIP, the Project mounted an orientation for NCIP central and regional office officials to fully
discuss the provisions of the MOA and present the status of ICCA work in the various sites. However, there was another change in
leadership at NCIP with the appointment of a new Chair on the eve of orientation; followed by the appointment of a new Executive
Director. The Project has since been participating in a series of workshops organized by NCIP to clarify its partnership with various
projects affecting IPs.
To strengthen partnership with LGUs and the Leagues, the Project had meetings with DILG and representatives of the League of
Municipalities and Provinces to discuss ways of accelerating uptake by LGUs of the concept of LCAs. Important agreements were reached
to showcase and recognize the LGU leaders involved in LCA, and provide for opportunities to share their experiences with other LGU
officials.
During the year, an important partnership was forged with the Department of Tourism to provide technical assistance in the formulation
and implementation of ecotourism plans for selected LGUs. Such partnership brought tangible results with the completion of ecotourism
assessment of two sites (Mt. Tapulao and Mts. Iglit Baco); and the completion of the Ecotourism Workshop and Plan for Mt. Tapulao. With
these joint endeavors, it is believed that the regional and local plans of DoT and DENR will be aligned to support the development of
capacities of partner LGUs in these sites. It should be noteworthy to mention that the NewCAPP did not provide funds for DoT to complete
these tasks. The assistance received from DoT were provided through the use of their own resources.
Civil Society Organisations/NGOs
The Project strengthened its partnerships with international organizations such as the Global ICCA Consortium, the World Indigenous
Network (WIN), in its efforts to link with global initiatives in support of ICCAs. These are seen as enabling the improvement of support
mechanisms in terms of expertise, broader sharing of experiences thereby enriching ideas that will be useful to the development of the
national ICCA program. More importantly, these linkages are serving as avenues for the Project to contribute to the Philippine effort to the
global advocacy on ICCAs. Relationships that are being built with Tebtebba (Indigenous Poeples International Center for Policy Research
and Education) likewise enabled the participation of the Projects IP partners and NGOs in international discourse and other events related
to advocacies on IP rights, and in pushing for greater recognition of ICCAs.
44
2013
With regard to partnership with local responsible partners (LRPs), the confidence building that the Project started is paving the way for
more collaborative initiatives. Beyond the assistance they are providing in site implementation, partner NGOs are proactively working with
PAWB-NewCAPP for a more programmatic approach. The coordination became closer in pursuing a number of ICCA-related activities. In
May 2013, the Project with KASAPI and PAFID have successfully secured the participation of two (2) IP leaders in the World Indigenous
Network (WIN) Conference in Darwin Australia. The IP leaders were given an opportunity to share their experiences and link with other
indigenous peoples in the world. Another successful collaboration was the conduct of the founding workshop of the Philippine ICCA
Consortium in February 2013, and the First Meeting of the Consortium Steering Committee; which were partially supported by UNDP, and
PTFCF. Partner NGOs (KASAPI and PAFID) facilitated the organization of these events.
At the national scene, strengthened relationships with grant giving organizations (FPE and PTFCF) are providing opportunities for more
local IP communities to secure support. FPE and PTFCF have adopted ICCA as one of their programmes. The Project is facilitating these
linkages through support in project development. Additional funds are also being accessed to secure support for the implementation of
related activities within the Project sites, such as financing the community conservation plans (CCPs); and expansion of support to adjacent
communities. Recently, the Project helped facilitated FPE approved of a proposal to implement the CCP of the Banao IP community,
through its local partner, the CCAGG.
In some NGO partners, whose original programs are not centered on biodiversity conservation, the efforts to mainstream the concept is
paying off. Along with their original advocacy e.g., IP rights, biodiversity conservation has naturally found its way within the programs
and services of the partner NGOs.
Indigenous Peoples
The platform that the Project created to showcase success stories of IP communities in practicing and sustaining their traditional
knowledge and skills which consequently contributed to biodiversity conservation has encouraged other IP communities to further
strengthen their links with their environment and to continue with traditions and culture. It also provided a sense of empowerment and
capacity building for some IP leaders and IP communities. A number of IP leaders were given opportunity to share their traditional
practices and way of life with other countries and with other IP communities in the world. Some IP communities became host to other IP
communities which strengthened the resolve of the latter for ICCA. However, these accomplishments have translated to more demands for
ICCA documentation which the Project could not respond to given its resource limitations.
The Project is strengthening the IP communities ownership of the ICCA approach through its support in the establishment of the National
ICCA Consortium. This grouping, which is at its early formative stage; is becoming an IP led aggrupation; with the participation of
personalities and organizations sharing the same vision. It is expected that once established, the IP communities would be given an
opportunity to drive the entire process of ICCA recognition in the Philippines, in partnership with government, development organzations
and other actors. The Project will continue to nurture the formation of this organization, until such time that it is able to become a self
45
2013
governed entity. In addition to providing Secretariat, technical assistance and capacity development support; NewCAPP is facilitating
resource mobilization to ensure a quick and effective start up of the Consortium.
Private Sector
The Project is starting to collaborate with private sector groups in its PES pilot in Mt. Kalatungan. The initial scoping study revealed
that agro based industries and plantation owners are potential buyers of water services from the headwaters, located in one of the
ancestral domains of the protected area. FGDs likewise confirmed their willingness to pay for such service, including the risk of averting
greater damage from disasters such as extreme flodding and erosion. These linkages will be further explored in the next few months.
In Mt. Tapulao and Iglit Baco sites, the initial Ecotourism assessment results conducted by the Department of Tourism shows the
potential of strengthening partnerships with local tour operators and hotel and resort owners in promoting ecotourism. Some
discussions have been made on this in early 2013; which will be further pursued in the next few months, and the Project and DoT embarks
on the preparation of Ecotourism Strategic Plans for these areas.
GEF Small Grants Programme
The GEF Small Grants Programme (Cycle 4) completed its implementation in June 2012; wherein the Project supported six NGOs in its
project sites to avail of financing.
The preparation and approval of the ProDoc for a Cycle 5 GEF Small Grants Programme was approved during the current year, and the
Project was alerted to this possible opportunity to renew its linkages. The Project will pursue this once the grants facility organization has
been designated by its Steering Committee.
Other Partners
The deliberate and conscious effort of the Project for greater LGU participation in the planning process has increased the latters stake
and improved ownership of the Project. It translated into allocation of counterpart budget and inclusion in the proposed Annual
Investment Plan of the LGUs for next year.
The Projects work in Mt. Tapulao is motivating adjacent LGUs to participate. Following the presentation of the results of BD assessment to
stakeholders, the LGU of Iba, Zambales and Tarlac province have both indicated their interest to be part of the LCA initiative, thus
potentially expanding the coverage of the proposed LCA to include the Tarlac municipalities with good forest cover, but have been
identified as highly succeptible to erosion. Considering the remaining limited resources of the Project, a practical strategy will be worked
out with these LGUs to secure adequte support, and suatain their interest.

Discussions have been made with the ADB supported Integrated Natural Resources Management Project, which has FMB as the lead
agency, for possible support to IP and local communities in the NewCAPP sites. The ADB Project received a US$5M grant from GEF, to
support community based BD conservation efforts as well. There are overlaps in the NewCAPP and INREMP sites in Mt. Kalatungan and
Kalinga province. There was keen interest on the part of INREMP to take on the ICCA approach; which will be further explored in the
coming months.
In the implementation of PES in Mt. Kalatungan, the Project strengthened its partnership with the consulting group which was contracted
to carry out the WB supported NPS-ENRMP PA Financing Study. Working on a joint work program, the activity resuted in generating
adequate information on the environmental service, the sellers, and identifying the potential buyers of the services. The partnership has
alse developed the framework for the payment scheme should the PES materialize. In the course of this work, the Project engaged with
local partners, such as the Cagayan de Oro River Basin Management Council, local academe, and the Enterprise Works Inc. an NGO
engaged in promoting PES in the region. These linkages were crucial in advocating for local support for PES, and in advancing agreements
with potential buyers in the river basin.
The leadership by PAWB in strengthening complementation among FAPs relating to PAWB concerns has accelerated linkages between
NewCAPP and other projects to work on common themes. The Project was designated as the lead in two thematic areas: Capacity Building
and PA Financing. Through these thematic groups, the NewCAPP is actively coordinating the formulation of a comprehensive capacity
development program for the sector, on the basis of competency standards it has developed. Second, the Project is also coordinating the
alingment of initiatives in support of PA Financing, geared towards the formulation of a PA Financing Roadmap. Lastly, efforts of other
projects are gravitating towards the formulation of a National PA System Plan or Master Plan. The idea has been discussed with the USAID
assisted BWISER Project and GIZ, where strong interest were expressed by both projects to be part of the process. These leads will be
pursued in the coming months to complement the work and resources of NewCAPP.
NewCAPP and BPP have collaborated with EMB to consider KBA and conservation areas as environmentally critical areas. A draft DAO
amending the policy on EAI is now with the Office of the DENR Secretary for approval. Likewise, discussions are ongoing to assess ICCA as
the approach towards integration of BD concerns in ADSDPP, which is also a major deliverable of BPP.
GIZ-PAME is building on from the systems and products developed by NewCAPP. They have indicated their intention to adopt the LCA and
ICCA process as modalities for expanding the PA system. They have also expressed interest in supporting the implementation of the
appropriate recommendations of the various studies undertaken by NewCAPP such as the KAP Study, Review of the BMS, Preparation of
the Operations Manual for PAMB, and PA Financing. Further, NewCAPP worked with PAME to revisit the strategies for PA system planning
in the Philippines. Discussions were held with PAWB, PAME, and some experts in the sector to develop a plan of approach. Two technical
discussions were organized in January and April 2013.
An important partneship with the academe was forged during the period, as a way of ensuring sustainability of capacity development
efforts in the PA sector. This is proving very strategic, as the Philippine Forestry Educators Network has indicated interest in review of its
curriculum to accommodate the demand for skills and competencies required by the sector in effective PA management. Already, this
47
2013
initiative is strengthening relationships between academic institutions and PA managers in support of specific needs of PAs for research,
extension and other work. In the long term, it is expected that this partnership will pave the way for the academe to develop more
responsive research and education programs that meet the demands of the sector.
South South Cooperation
7.
Through its partner, the KASAPI, various nationals from other countries have visited the Philippines for an exchange on lessons and
experiences on ICCAs. In December, the Philippines hosted the Learning Highway, organized by Asian Indigenous Peoples Forum;
whereby IP leaders and their NGO counterparts participated in a week long experience of IP communities adaptation strategies and how
ICCA supports this. Other regional and international for a, sposored by Tebtebba, and other organizations have likewise featured the
Philippines ICCA work.
A proposal from Natural Justice, an NGO based in Malaysia, was received by the Project for South South cooperation in the area of
recognition of ICCAs, and promote an exchange among IP leaders and support organizations on how this approach can help communities
ward off unwanted developments in their domains. This will be further pursued in the coming months.
The Global ICCA Consortium likewise proposed that the Philippines be included as a pilot country for the testing of the tools and methods
for governance assessment of PAs, as cited in the most recent IUCN Guidelines on Governance of Protected Areas. The Global ICCA
Consortium has committed to mobilize resources for this initiative; which will start in early 2014, in time for the presentation of results
during the World Parks Congress in November, 2014.
GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT REPORTING
Project is gender responsive
Table 1 - Qualitative Description

In Governance Mechanisms (Participation in Project Board (including representation of PCW), TWGs, Experts Group and other
governance mechanisms set up by the Project, e.g. National multi-sectoral committees)
The Project Board is composed of UNDP, NEDA, DENR (PAWB and FMB), NCIP, Leagues of Cities, Municipalities and Provinces;
a representative from the IP groups, and a representative from NGO partners. While the PCW is not a member of the Board,
there is gender balance among its representatives. The Chair of the Board, as well as the NCIP Chair, PAWB Director and FMB
Director, are all women; as well as senior staff from UNDP. The Project Manager is also female, and the PMU is composed of 6
females and nine male members.
Other regular internal review processes include presentation to PAWB Senior Staff who is predominantly female (i.e., only the
48
2013
Assistant Director and the Chief, Admin Division are male).

Project Partners and Management are mostly composed of professional women with technical expertise on biodiversity and
project management.
There is an existing GAD Focal Point person/s representing every division designated by the PAWB Director. The GAD Focal
Point is headed by the Budget Officer.
There is a general acceptance and knowledge of gender mainstreaming is important in project management processes,
programs and projects by the PAWB and NewCAPP project.
In Capacity Building and Policy, Planning and Programming
In the field implementation, it was ensured that women proactively participate in the discussions, especially IP women to
capture the peculiar traditional practices and knowledge of women IPs in the sustainable management of their ICCAs.
Documentation of training and other capacity development programs capture the ratio of male-female participants.
GAD focal point group of PAWB has sought the advise and participation of NewCAPP in their budget re-programming to include
the processes that NewCAPP has initiated e.g. ICCA, LCA, PAMB process.
In coordination with the partner agency (PAWB) GAD focal point, the three manuals on ICCA, LCA and PAMB management with
gender mainstreaming will be launched during the womens month. A series of orientation-training for project sites and new
PASUs will be conducted. This is part of the GAD activities of the PAWB. During the re-programming of PAWB GAD Budget,
suggestions to the PAWB focal point on programs and projects to reach more women beneficiaries were integrated in the GAD
budget. This is in response to the comment of the PCW that gender has been given low priority by the Bureau.
Gender indicators have been integrated in the draft PA system plan.
A technical assistance has been tapped to assess and determine the data gaps in gender mainstreaming within the project
management processes and project implementation. The technical assistance includes research on existing GAD tools and
adapt these to the specific requirements of conservation management to enable the project site management develop gender
responsive plans and strategies. Implementation procedures of ICCA, LCA and PAMB Manual are reviewed to mainstream
gender where it is relevant.
Orientation modules and training design will be discussed with the GAD focal points/Division Chiefs of PAWB. This is to
encourage institutionalization of project GAD strategies in the agencys action plans.

REPORTING ON OTHER CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
The Project is promoting the recognition of IP communities rights through the processes it has taken in the documentation, mapping and
registration of ICCAs. IP communities see this approach as the more tangible way of affording greater recognition of their valuable contribution to
biodiversity conservation, and yet sustain their culture and traditions.
In its work with ICCAs and LCAs, the Project is mainstreaming the integration of DRR and CCA measures into the planning processes, such that
these are important considerations in the procedures followed by the Project.

ANNEX H
ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT 2013

COMPONENT A: Policy and Institutional Development
Completion of Policy Study on Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
This policy study involved the development of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
(ESIA) tool for the planning and regulation of small scale economic activities (SSEAs) within the
coastal zone that have continued to expand and proliferate and threatened the ecological integrity
and productivity of coastal habitats and resources. The ESIA tool is designed for use in the
assessment of the environmental and social impacts of SSEAs and similar small scale projects that
fall outside the coverage of EIS System. The application of ESIA is needed to safeguard the coastal
environment and communities from potential individual and cumulative adverse impacts of SSEAs.
Completion of Policy Study on Coastal Environmental Hazards Management
This study examines the effectiveness of policies, national and local, in terms of disaster risk
reduction and climate change adaptation in coastal areas. It also looks at the ICRMP policy-making
process, zeroing in on measures to mainstream vulnerability and risk in the ICRMP, thereby
enhancing the plan and making it responsive to the threats of disaster risk and climate change
impacts. The vulnerability assessment tool and policy recommendations in this study are intended to
equip the ICRMP stakeholders with supplementary policy-making instruments to rationalize local
policies and management strategies, making their ICRM plans and programs risk adaptive
Completion of Incentive/Disincentives System Study
This study provides recommendations on the best incentive disincentives to motivate local
government units (LGUs) to adopt or to continue doing sound coastal management practices.
IEC on Policy Studies
The Policy IEC Materials such as Policy Papers on NICMP, Foreshore Management, Mangrove
Management, User Fees and Resource Rents were already completed and are ready for printing.
COMPONENT B: ICRM and Biodiversity Conservation

A MOA with PATH Foundation Philippines, Inc. was finalized to assist in the formulation of
modules, conduct of training, and packaging of compendium and continued Technical Assistance by
PFPI to the RPIUs until April 2013. The Training entitled: Integrated Approaches to Population Health
Environment Workshop among the ICRMP Regional Focal persons and Implementing Units was
conducted last February 29- March 2, 2013 in Bohol.
Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials, were printed and disseminated
were printed and distributed to the Regional and Provincial offices as support to their
implementation.
Some of the Ready to print IEC Materials distributed to the Regional Implementers.
The regional implementers of the ICRMP were capacitated in the establishing the Integrated
Information Management System (IIMS) that would serve as the municipal coastal database for the
in 80 municipalities through the Memorandum of Agreement between PEMSEA and CMMO.
Continuous population of the database is ongoing at the LGU and DENR National and Regional level.
The project also developed a monitoring tool kit to guide the RPIUs and LGUs in monitoring
the project in terms of implementation of their ICRM plans. A pilot workshop, for the
implementation of the said tool kit was conducted last November 18-20, 2013 in Masbate.
Actual Participatory M&E training and Courtesy call to Masbate City Local Chief Executive
A Guideline to ICRMP MPA-based Stock Enhancement and Conservation Projects: Project
Appraisal, Implementation, and Management was developed for the establishment of conservation
projects on the 50 established Marine Protected Areas. In partnership with South East Asian
Fisheries Development Center/ Aquaculture Department, 3 trainings were conducted to capacitate
the implementers in establishing a conservation project where 42 MPA-based conservation and 3
corridor wide sub-projects were approved ad being implemented at the moment. A national
symposium was conducted last Dec 10-12, 2013 to determine progress of the said subprojects
attended by the sub-project proponents, Regional and Provincial Project Implementing Unit (RPIUs/
PPIUs) and Coastal and Marine Management Division Chiefs. Panel of experts from different
academic institutions and from SEAFDEC were also invited to provide comments and
recommendations to the implementers.

COMPONENT C: ECOTOURISM ENTERPRISES

The following activities were undertaken, to wit:
1. The Luyang Fisherfolks Association located in Siquijor, Siquijor and Luban Farmers Fisherfolks
Association in Mati City, Davao Oriental were awarded financial assistance for ecotourism
enterprises covering River/Mangrove Reef Discovery, Nature Village and Culinary. With this, the
component has achieved more than the milestone set on business planning and awarding of
financial assistance as the EEDTeam and regional partners covered 5 regions, 22 SRGs and
developed 55 ecotourism enterprises .
2. A total of 103 SRG members were trained on various guide skills on paddling, snorkeling, trekking
and birding. Of the total, 73 are men while 30 (29%) are women. In addition, a total of 152 SRG
members participated in the Regional Sustainability Training conducted in Regions 2, 3, 5 7 and 11.
Of the attendees, 65 are men and 87 (57%) are women.
3. Two sets of IEC materials were printed under the component. These include livelihood related
IEC materials for use of the 22 SRGs and the promotional materials aimed at attracting private
sector investment. The materials printed were quick guides, field guides, advocacy posters and
educational posters. These IEC materials were distributed to the SRGs , DENR regional partners and
other government agencies and institutions. Concept and production of promotional videos were
completed and ready for reproduction for distribution to selected groups in the transport sector.
4. To facilitate private sector investment, an exhibit at Ninoy Aquino Park was launched in time with
the 2013 Month of the Ocean Celebration as part of the promotional introduction of the developed
enterprises. A major partnership forum, conducted last 16 July 2013, was also held to forge
partnerships between the SRGs with other government, non-government agencies and private
investors. A total of 223 regional partners from Regions 2, 3,5,7 and 11 including selected members
of the SRGs attended in the event. Inang Kalikasan Award where 14 community champions were
recognized and given specially designed trophy that represents biodiversity, prosperity and sense of
stewardship encapsulating the basic tenets of the project was also undertaken.
5. The EED Team in close coordination with regional partners conducted Product Audit of 19 SRGS
to determine how sustainable each of the ecotourism products in the sites are utilizing a mechanism
called Product Audit Tool (PAT) developed for the purpose.
6. Part of the target for ICRMP Component C is the conduct of an orientation for travel agencies and
tour operators to impart to the group the community-based ecotourism micro-enterprises
developed in the ICRMP Regions. In the event, cutting-edge planning techniques and tools utilized
in the project component in the development of a brand of ecotourism in 22 SRGs, that is now being
replicated in many protected areas in the country, including the capacitation of selected Self-Reliant
Groups in providing life-enhancing experiences to visitors, were highlighted. A total of 76
participants attended the orientation. Overall, the response from the industry practitioners was
overwhelming and positive. Participants expressed their interest to support the initiative and tour
companies already inquired on which sites are ready to be marketed.
