 Rationale for ENR Planning in Local Level

“Every LGU shall exercise the powers expressly granted, those necessarily implied there
from, as well as powers necessary, appropriate or incidental for its efficient and effective
governance, and those which are essential for the promotion of the general welfare…
the preservation and enrichment of culture, promote health and safety, enhance the
right of the people to a balanced ecology, … improve public morals, enhance
economic prosperity and social justice, promote full employment among their residents,
maintain peace and order and preserve the comfort and convenience of their
inhabitants.”

Section 17 of Republic Act 7160 or the “Local Government Code of 1991”

The Environment and Natural Resources Planning in CDP
- This consolidates the environmental implications of all development
proposals within the municipality and provides mitigating and preventive
measures for their anticipated impacts.

- It embodies programs for maintaining cleanliness of air, water and land resources
and rehabilitating or preserving the quality of natural resources to enable them
to support the requirements of economic development and ecological
balance across generations.

- A major component of this sectoral plan will also include measures to minimize
the vulnerability of the local residents to natural hazards and disasters.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The general Welfare Goals

a. preservation and enrichment of culture;

b. promotion of health and safety;
c. enhancement of the right of the people to a
balanced ecology;
d. encouraging and supporting the development of
appropriate and self reliant
scientific and technological capabilities;
e. improvement of public morals;
f. enhancement of economic prosperity and social
justice;
g. promotion of full employment;
h. maintenance of peace and order; and
i. preservation of comfort and convenience.
SUCCESS INDICATORS FOR THE GENERAL WELFARE GOALS
Enhancement of people’s right to a balance ecology:

3.1. Acceptable ratio of built form to open space

3.2. Clean air monitoring and enforcement effective

3.3. Plenty of greeneries in public and private places

3.4. Acceptable waste management systems (liquid and solid) in place

3.5. Wildlife preservation areas well protected

3.6. Tree parks and green belts in abundance

3.7. Built up surfaces not completely impervious

PPLS
Determining Programs,
Projects, Policies and
Legislations (PPPLs) for the ENR
Management Sector
 What comes next?
Once the ENR objectives and targets are formulated, the identification of specific policies,
programs and projects will also be straightforward. Policies are guides to action to carry out
the objectives or achieve the targets. Policies can take the form of regulatory measures
(legislation) or programs, projects and services.

Policies are guide to actions to carry out the objectives or achieve the targets. Policies can
take the form of:
a. regulatory measures (legislation) or
b. programs, projects, activities and
c. services
What are regulatory measures?
Regulatory measures may take the form of resolutions or ordinances enacted by the
Sanggunian or executive and administrative orders issued by the Local Chief Executive.
They should be taken in both their positive and negative dimension.

a. Positive regulation involves giving encouragement and rewards for acts that
are socially desirable and those that help promote the general welfare.
Example:
1. Rewards for recycling and reuse of waste materials
2. “Tapat ko, Linis Ko.”

b. Negative regulation entails prohibiting and penalizing some acts deemed inimical to
public interest.
Example:
1. Ban Kaingin (slash and burn)
2. Criminalizing poachers
 What are programs and projects?

A program is a cluster of projects. It comprises the operational components of a long-term

plan. It defines a particular clientele and their priority needs and breaks down the strategic
decisions in a plan into different components or projects which are tactical or short-term in
nature. It may cover a period of three (3) to six (6) years.

A project is a cluster of activities. It is a specific but complex effort consisting of interrelated

activities performed by various functional units and specialists. Sometimes synonymous with
program, a project has a well-defined objective, a definite schedule, and a set budget. It may
cover a period of one (1) to three (3) years.
What are activities and tasks?
An activity is a cluster of tasks. It is a very short-term effort performed by one or several
members of a project team or of an office or organization. Some activities must be
completed before the project can move on; other activities can either be done
simultaneously or lie in wait as other tasks go on. An activity may last from one week to one
year.

A task is a purposive combination of psychomotor actions or motions leading to the

accomplishment of an activity. A task may take a few minutes to a few months to complete.

PROGRAM PROJECT ACTIVITY

 What is a service or “non-project”
Services or “non – projects” are interventions that can be included among the regular
functions of a given office to be performed by the regular stag of that office using its existing
facilities and budget. These interventions need not be included in the LDIP but are carried
out through the maintenance and other operating expenditures (MOEE) of the relevant
offices or departments.
 How to Classify and Structure Programs, Projects
from Non-Projects/Services
A. Differentiating

Note that services or “non-projects” are regular functions of a given office to be

performed by the regular staff of that office using its existing facilities and budget. It
can be included in the LDIP but not in the prioritization exercise since funding for
this are carried out using the MOOE.

B. Classifying

For “Non-Projects” or Services:

1. Collect all non-projects and check for possible project upgrade to upgrade.
2. If project upgrade is not possible, retain activity as non-project
a. Breakdown the service or “non-project”into activity or task components.
b. Match the activity/task components with the existing capacity of the office
responsible for carrying out the activity/task.
c. Suggest appropriate actions as needed.

B. Classifying

For Legislations:
1. Consult the Sangguniang Panlungsod/Bayan (SB) Secretary or, if available,
the computerized legislative tracking system for existing legislations and/or
Executive Orders (EOs).
2. Process all needed legislations, separating those that are within the LGU to
enact. The rest will be lobbied at higher levels, say provincial or national.
3. Sift all the needed local legislations using the fishbone analysis. Refer to CDP
Preparation Guide (2008), Step 5: Transforming Goals into Actions, page 125.

For Projects:
1. Sift all projects according to “ownership” or responsibility using Section 17 of
the Local Government Code as reference.

Where can PPSLs be derived?
One good source of programs / projects/ services and legislation is an objective or policy
tree that had been transformed from a problem tree*.

DRR-CCA retained

Rehabilitate and Increase capacities of Instill proofing of

restore rivers and local communities and infrastructure to

cope with and recover
from the negative
impacts of disasters
 What’s after the problem tree?
Note that there are at least three (3) approaches or strategies to reduce to vulnerabilities to
disasters:
1. Rehabilitate and restore rivers and creeks;
2. Increase capacities of local communities and farmers to anticipate, cope with
and recover from the negative impacts of disasters; and
3. Instill proofing of infrastructure to disasters

Each strategy has its own set of program components and for each program any number of
project and services components can be identified.

Further, local plans such as enhanced CLUP, LCCAP, and LDRRMP contain PPAs directly
addressing climate and disaster risks. It is important to revisit these documents for
inclusion in the list of PPAs.*
