ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE REPORT & MANAGEMENT PLAN
The purpose of the project is to relocate the senior high school students, faculty and staff from the main campus
(Jacinto St.) to the next, in Bankal, Davao City. The Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU) is one of nine schools
in the Philippines owned and operated by the Society of Jesus. The school tradition at Ateneo de Davao
University is the product of over four centuries of educational experience of the Society.
This tradition started with the establishment of a College at Messina in 1547 by St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder
of the Society of Jesus, and which is now found in many educational institutions throughout the world managed
by the Society of Jesus.
The Jacinto campus was obtained in 1951 with the generous support of the Most Rev. Clovis Thibault, PME,
Bishop-Prelate of Davao. The campus provided classrooms for high school students in the daytime and college
courses in the evenings.
In year 2001, the college enrollees at Jacinto campus reached 7,592 students in 47 courses during the first
semester. This was the time before the new 7-storey building named Finster Hall was opened.
Ten years later, at the start of the first semester in year 2011, the number of students reached 8,015 (55%
female) in 51 collegiate courses. Looking ahead, the Administration of AdDU saw the need to expand the
facilities in Jacinto college campus and added a 12-storey building which is not currently called the Ateneo
Community Tower.
In year 2016, the Administration of Ateneo de Davao University started to open its door for students
enrolling for senior high school because of the implementation of the K to 12 program in the country.
The Senior High School students, faculty and staff now temporarily occupies the 7-storey building called
the Finster Building which was originally used by college students. Thus making the Jacinto campus
congested and shifting the subject schedules of college students having frequent night classes compared
to before the implementation of the K to 12 program.
The disadvantages mentioned earlier lead the administration of AdDU to propose an extended campus,
having a land owned by the University in Bangkal, Davao City, which will be the dedicated campus for
the senior high school program which will provide an environment conducive for learning.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE REPORT & MANAGEMENT PLAN
Before the implementation of the proposed expansion project, AdDU was advised to secure the Environmental
Compliance Certificate (ECC) to formulate a more comprehensive plan to be undertaken before the
construction phase, during construction phase, and during the operation phase of the project.
The Environmental Management Bureau (EMIB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of
Region 11 was consulted about the proposed project. The EMB advised that AdDU must submit the
Environmental Performance Report and Management Plan (EPRMP), with its accompanying documentary
requirements - subject to the review and scrutiny by the EMB – before ECC can be granted.
Prior to this proposed project, AdDU was already granted an ECC-Xl-2001-5010-0197 on September 3,
2012, at Davao City, Philippines, by the Environmental Management Bureau of Region XI, for the
construction of Twelve (12) storey Mixed-Use Building, Seven (7) storey Multi-Purpose Assemble Hall
Expansion Project and Related Facilities located at E. Jacinto corner Zamora corner Roxas St., Davao City
Ateneo, a well-known brand of high quality education that produces competent and globally competitive
students, has attracted numerous parents and students all over the nation, as well as exchange students from
other countries. However, due to the surge of applicants that are being accepted every year, the structure can
no longer fully support the necessities of each student.
This is the main reason that in year 2000, the Ateneo de Davao University ventured into another infrastructure
expansion.
In year 2001, the school constructed the mixed-use building in its Jacinto campus named Finster Hall – a 7-
storey building with a basement level food court, with 110 new rooms and offices. In the Finster Hall, Ateneo
de Davao became the first university in Davao City to have three 20-person service elevators and a state-of-
the-art auditorium with 600 seats.
In year 2012, the school ventured for into further expansion in its Jacinto Campus. A twelve (12) storey mixed-
use building and a seven (7) storey multi-purpose assemble hall was constructed to further extend and propagate
the services offered by AdDU.
In year 2016, due to the implementation of the K-12 program, the levels of education offered by Ateneo
increased yet they can no longer expand their infrastructures in Jacinto campus due to land restrictions. This
lead to the proposed extension of the Ateneo campus to be located at Bangkal, Davao City.
As AdDu needed to expand its capacity and at the same time enhance the quality of education system to cope
with the ever changing needs of time, it is imperative to construct new buildings and other relevant facilities
and equipment which will be implemented in the year 2017.

D.1. The Most Significant Impact of the Project (as an Institution in General)
Ateneo de Davao University is one of the leading universities in the Philippines. Being Included in the
list of top universities in Asia last year, Ateneo de Davao University aims to expand and reach out to
the youth in the continuing pursuit of excellence. Thus, the Senior High School Department is pointing
towards a new environment that will be dedicated to Senior High School Students, Faculty,
Professionals, and Administrators.
This new environment will enhance their personal growth and learning, and move ever closer to being
stronger in faith.
Members of the Ateneo Community are men and women who are dedicated in serving others in
excellence and in the service of God.
D.2. Other Key Impacts Related to the Construction of the Proposed Project
The Environmental Monitoring Plan of Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU) is designed according to the
current environmental conditions or situation and the expected impacts of the projects during pre-construction,
construction and operation phases. The Administration of AdDU guarantees that all necessary means needed
to mitigate any probable source of disturbance to the surrounding communities, including but not limited to
workers, residents, commuters, passerby, and environment, shall be strictly implemented.
In the pursuit of excellence with the strategic mandate of the school, the activities carried out by AdDU in the
project area are under full supervision to guarantee the sensible implementation of safe environmental
management in accordance to the existing environmental laws of the Republic of the Philippines.
All conditions stated therein shall also be carefully integrated in the Environmental Monitoring Plan of AdDU
upon issuance of the ECC by the EMB-XI for this proposed project.

2.2 ETA Team (Proponent & Preparer Team Members & Expertise)
The ETA team was assembled to conduct assessment and evaluation of the project. The preparation of the
EPRMP for the proposed project was done in a collaborative manner and headed by the Physical Plant Director
of AdDU, contractors, Geo-Technical and Environmental consultant who are in private practice and have
adequate experience and exposure in the evaluation and analysis of project covered by the Environmental
Impact Statement System.
The Pre-study Phase was focused on project screening and presentation to the impacted community as well as
identification of the needed data. After the conduct of the preliminary study, the formal study began which
includes the impact identification, baseline data gathering and formulation of mitigating and enhancement
measures.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE REPORT & MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Post Study Phase shall cover the monitoring and evaluation of impact of the project which AdDU shall
submit necessary reports to the concerned government agencies who has functional supervisions over the
proposed project.
Based on the Outline for the Preparation of EPRMP, the study was mainly focused on the identification and
evaluation of the physical characteristics of the proposed project site, body of water, soil cover and capacity,
climate, weather pattern, demography, community, and socioeconomic values; the environmental impact of the
proposed project and the formulation of mitigating and enhancement measures to the eco-system.
The proposed project serves as an expansion of the existing facilities of AdDU at Jacinto campus and the school
is required to submit an Environmental Performance Report and Management Plan (EPRMP) relative to the
previous ECC issued by DENR in February 2002.
The method employed in the preparation of the EPRMP was direct benchmarking of baseline data and
Environmental Management Plan (ENT) from the previous Initial Environmental Examination Report (lEER)
submitted by AdDU to DENR through the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB Region XI) in September
2001. Also employed is the physical assessment and appraisal of the surrounding environment, gathering and
correlating data by actual sampling and data obtained from secondary sources.
The environmental impact identification, prediction, and mitigation measures were obtained through meetings
and consultations with local government officials, contractors who will perform the construction jobs, actual
survey of the surrounding community, and observation of people and vehicles movement of the surrounding
areas.
2.6 EIA Process Documentation (with Highlight on Stakeholder participation from Scoping to the
Conduct of EJA Study)
The project was evaluated to determine the possible impacts of the operation to the physical and socio-economic
environment of the locality, as the project shall involve movement of people and vehicles, and nation-building.
The representative of the project proponent (AdDU) went to the various agencies of government sector to
inquire for the required documents and the necessary preparations for the implementation of the proposed
building expansion project of the school.
The proposed project was presented to the Barangay Officials of Barangay 32-D where the project is to be
constructed and the Head of Barangay issued a "Certificate of No Objection."
Moreover, the Zoning Certification was also issued by the Davao City Planning and Development Office
(DCPDO) which certified that the project site is suitable for light commercial use and for general institution
zone. Hence, the proposed project conforms to the zoning program and land use plan of the City Government
of Davao.
A consultation was also made with the key personnel of the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB of
Region XI) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. They advised that it is most appropriate
to prepare an EPRMP for the proposed project in order for the EMB Region XI to issue an Environmental
Compliance Certificate (ECC).

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE REPORT & MANAGEMENT PLAN
The rapid technological advancement and continuing evolution of global economy, culture, social interaction,
climate-change, environment, fields of sciences, etc., requires educational institutions to be abreast with these
developments and prepare its organization, especially, its students to adopt and conquer challenges.
Hence, it is necessary to expand its infrastructure and capacity not only to enroll more students but also to open
new courses relevant to the changing challenges of times. Thus, the AdDU is determined to add the proposed
project in its existing facilities at Jacinto campus.
The project site is located at Barangay 32-D of Davao City on a titled property covered by the
following lot titles:
The project site is about a kilometer away North-East from the seat of government of Davao City. The property
is geographically situated at latitude 70 7 8.37" North and longitude 125 ° 61' 347" East. It is bounded by M.
Roxas street on the West side, C.M. Recto Street on the North side, by E. Jacinto street on the East side, and
by Father Zamora street on the South.
The location of the proposed project is Certified by the Davao City Planning and Development Office as a light
commercial and institutional zone (please refer to Annex F-i and Annex F-2).
The site of the proposed project does not belong to an environmentally critical area (non-ECA). It is situated
within the AdDU' s Jacinto campus, which is wholly owned by the school.
After a thorough study on several options, the Administration of AdDU found that the proposed site of this new
project is the most appropriate as it will complement the existing facilities of its existing campus. It will boost
the productivity of the school staff and faculty.
The Jacinto campus of AdDU is almost a whole city block, bounded by four (4) well-paved streets. It is situated
at the heart of the Davao City and it is where the main routes of public utility vehicles from the northern and
southern part of the city intersect. Thus, it makes the site very accessible for the students, the teaching staff,
and other school workers.
Under this phase, activities are confined to planning and project site evaluation, environmental impact
assessment and preparation of requisite documents for the issuance of the ECC, and engineering design
for the building structures and support facilities for the school operation.
This is the introduction of the civil and mechanical works of the project which involve the
ground preparation, ground insertion of pile post and setting of foundation, the construction
and erection of the structures and appurtenances for the following: 12-storey mixed-use
building, gymnasium, swimming pool, rain-water catchment tanks, solar panels covering
about 800 square meters at the roof-deck.
During the construction and installation of the structures and appurtenances, the following
equipment and machinery shall be employed:
Upon the completion of the construction of the structures and installation of support facilities
of the proposed project, and after the commissioning of the electro-mechanical equipment,
and the complete turnover of the project from the contractors, the operation phase of the
project shall commence immediately, after the acceptance of the proponent.
In case some unforeseen events shall cause the AdDU to stop the purpose of its operation, for
as long as all building structures and facilities are safe for peoples' use, it can be converted
into office, commercial, or residential use.
During the construction stage of the project that covers the civil, mechanical, electrical, and carpentry
works, the contractor shall need skilled and non-skilled work force as follows:
The needed resources and utilities during Construction and Operation Stage as well as its estimated
cost are as follows:

The vicinity of the proposed project is characterized by a highly urbanized area. The site is
situated in Barangay 32-D of Davao City. Barangay 32-D has a land area of 12 hectares
subdivided into seven (7) Puroks. It is accessible by land transportation through the streets of
Roxas Boulevard, E. Jacinto St., M. Quezon Boulevard, and R. Magsaysay Avenue. The proposed
project site is about one kilometer away from the City Hall of Davao.
The existing AdDU Jacinto Campus is the most iconic landmark in Barangay 32-D. The project
site is within the contiguous coastal plains of downtown Davao City. It exhibits a flat terrain with
a general elevation of approximately twenty (20) meters above sea level, with a slope class range
of 0-3%.
The present land uses within the vicinity are built-up structures for commercial, institutional, and
residential use. There are intermittent vehicular traffic congestions at the streets adjacent to the
site, especially, during rush hours, as the project location is at the heart of the business district of
Davao City.
There are few pockets of green areas within the project site and its vicinity. These green areas are
planted with acacia, neem, and mango trees (inside AdDU Campus) and commercial trees along
Roxas Boulevard and Jacinto Street, and ornamental plants within mini parks on the street islands
of Roxas Boulevard.
The soil type is a soft soil profile mainly composed of silt and sand up to 60 meters deep.
The project site has no body of water in its vicinity and is not situated in an environmentally
critical area (non-ECA). The entire compound of AdDU’s Jacinto Campus is surrounded by
public drainage which leads to the Davao Gulf - about eight hundred (800) meters away from the
eastern side of the site.
The location of the project and its vicinity is under the franchise area of the Davao City Water
District which supplies potable drinking water.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE REPORT & MANAGEMENT PLAN
The water table within the vicinity is about 1.5 meters. Some establishment has shallow wells
where they used ground water for cleaning and washing purposes.
The proposed project shall have a rainwater collection system from its roof and contain it in the
water tank. The collected rainwater shall be used for toilet cleaning, miscellaneous washing, and
watering the plants.
The effluent that would come out from the project is in a form of domestic wastes which shall
pass through the individual 3-stage septic vaults before it is discharged into the public drainage
along Roxas and Jacinto Streets.
The city of Davao belongs to the 4th climactic type wherein rainfall is distributed the whole year
round, except when interfered with El Niño phenomenon where dry period is abnormal for several
months.
Based on the rainfall data of PAGASA station in Davao City, the average precipitation from 1961
to 2005 ranges from 88 to 210 mm, with an annual mean value of 1,896 mm. The amount of
rainfall is evenly distributed in the months of April to November. The precipitation decreases in
December to March when average rainfall ranges from 88 to 122 mm. On the monthly basis, the
month of March has the lowest precipitation depth (rainfall).
The average relative humidity in Davao City ranges from 78 to 82 percent year-round. There is a
slight pattern of low humidity in the area between the months of March and June. The annual
mean temperature from 1997 and 2005 ranges from 27.0 to 28.0 degree centigrade.
The prevailing wind direction and average velocity recorded by PAGASA reveled three (3)
patterns. From January to April, the wind blows in a northeast direction at a minimum wind
velocity of two meters per second (2 mps) and maximum of three meters per second (3 mps).
As of year 2010, data from PAGASA Davao showed significant fluctuations in weather pattern.
This was attributed to the long dry spell brought by the El Niño and immediately followed by La
Niña phenomenon which abnormally poured 137 mm of water on April 5, 2011.
The quality of air in the project area and its vicinity is relatively wholesome with no visible smog,
dusts, and smoke.
The level of noise in the area varies every hour of the day as it mainly comes from both public
transport utilities and private vehicles passing by.
The primary source of income of the local residents in Barangay 32-D is through employment in
both the government and private companies. Others derived their income from boarding houses,
sari-sari stores, carenderia, operating and driving tricycles, and construction jobs.
The construction of the proposed project of AdDU at Jacinto Campus will not pose or offer
impediments to the socio-cultural development of the local residents. Consistent with the social
development program of the school, a big number of local residents who are skilled or unskilled
but capable to handle specific works shall be employed in the construction stage of the project.
During the regular operation of the project, there will be an increase in economic activities in
Barangay Zone 32-D because of the projected increase of students and teaching staff.
The socio-economic profile of Barangay 32-D as of year 2011 is herein presented to wit:
A.1 Increase in dust generation due to - Regular watering of unpaved roads or exposed
clearing, civil works, and earthmoving ground
activities
- Remove soil or mud from tires of trucks

The University was granted full autonomy status on 25 September 2001 for a five-year period by the
CHED through Memorandum Order No. 32, Series of 2001. The autonomous status was later extended
by the Commission on Higher Education until 2012;
In 2004, the Commission on Higher Education named the University as a Center of Development in
Information Technology Education;
In 2008, the University celebrated its 60th Jubilee. A commemorative stamp was launched in
coordination with the Philippine Postal Corporation. The Blue Iguana of Davao City designed the four
stamps and the first-day cover envelop. A series of public lectures was rendered in celebration of the
jubilee year;
In the same year, the Grade School was granted PAASCU re-accreditation for a five-year period until
November 2013. Formation of High School administrators was developed which included Ignatian
Leadership Training and Billings Natural Family Planning;
In the mid of December 2009, the University was the fourth higher education institution (HEI) in the
country to be granted institutional accreditation by the Philippine Accrediting Association of
25 | ATENEO DE DAVAO UNIVERSITY
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE REPORT & MANAGEMENT PLAN
Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) and Federation of Accrediting Associations of the
Philippines (FAAP);
The accreditations was granted to the University “for its long tradition of exemplary accomplishments
in the areas of instruction, research and community service and high performance of its graduates in
government licensure examinations; for the laudable practices leading to internal efficiency and
external productivity; for its meritorious record of excellence as evidenced by the high level of
performance of program accreditation and effective assurance mechanisms.”
The project proposed does not belong to the environmentally critical project and the project site is not an
environmentally critical area, the only possible major risk that could greatly have an impact and damage to
the structure is the occurrence of major earthquake that might cause the building to collapse. The proximity of
the existing building in the area is suitable enough to lessen fire impact if in case, there is an existing open
fire from the neighborhood. The location of the area is quite far from the access road. This might be a
disadvantage if a disaster occurs in the area, the disaster respondents might take time in entering the area.
The Ateneo de Davao University have always made it a priority to strictly follow environmental standards.
Thus for the construction of the Senior High School Building, The Ateneo ensures that all measures will be
implemented necessary to contain and mitigate the possible source of pollutants to protect our environment.
