I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. This Initial Environmental Examination has been prepared for Rehabilitation of Centro
Sta. Cruz to Sitio Lapak Access Road which is located in Barangay Sta. Cruz, Municipality of
Claveria, Misamis Oriental. This road rehabilitation subproject will focus on the concreting of
the 2.29 km existing access. The roadway surface is 4.00 m width concrete carriageway 0.50-
meter shoulder on both sides with 0.50 ditch canal.
2. The proposed access road rehabilitation will start where the Sta. Cruz Elementary
School is located (Sta. 0+000) and will end at Sitio Lapak at a road junction going to the Brgy.
Kiabo, Municipality of Malitbog, Bukidnon and to Centro Brgy. Lanise, Claveria (Sta. 2+288).
3. The subproject, which has an estimated project duration of 98 calendar days and will
be implemented by contract, has an updated preliminary project cost of Php 17,279,566.32
with Php 13,823,653.05 (80%) to be funded by INREMP and Php 3,455,913.26 (20%) as LGU
equity.
4. The subproject has been categorized by ADB as Environment Category B and this IEE
was prepared consistent with the environmental assessment requirements of ADB’s Safeguard
Policy Statement of 2009. The IEE was carried out through screening and analysis of various
environmental parameters, field-based investigations, stakeholder consultations, and review of
other road subproject reports in the Philippines. The IEE covers the general environmental
profile of Claveria rural infrastructure subproject and includes an assessment of the potential
environmental impacts during different phases and formulation of corresponding mitigation
measures. The IEE was prepared by the LGU of Claveria in coordination with the NPCO,
RPCO, WMCO, POs and the consultant.
5. The direct beneficiaries of the proposed subproject, which is located within the
forestland, are the residents of Barangay Sta. Cruz with a total population of 1,377. The
barangay has a total land area of 1,131 ha of which 630 ha are forestland and 501 ha are
classified as alienable and disposable lands. The A and D lands are already issued with Land
Titles and Tax Declarations while the areas in the forestlands are given the Community-Based
Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA), under the name of the Pugaan Upland Growers
Association (PUGA) with a total land area of 395 ha, which used to be under the Contract of
Stewardship Certificate (CSC) issued by the DENR to the beneficiaries.
6. The Indigenous People and all the residents of the barangay recognize the
opportunities that they will benefit from the rehabilitation of the access road so a resolution
endorsing the project was issued by the tribal council. A barangay resolution of support is also
issued endorsing the subproject.
7. Major land use along the road rehabilitation project is agriculture which is part of
production forest. None of the sub-project roads are located near or within ecologically
sensitive areas.
8. The IEE, based on the screening of baseline environment and review of proposed civil
works, has not identified any major environmental concerns given that all the proposed civil
works are only asset preservation of existing roadway and are located within existing right of
way. There will only be localized short-term impacts during construction activities due to
implementation of civil works that will be addressed in the detailed design and through
1

implementation of the mitigation and monitoring measures specified in the environmental

management plan.
9. The IEE process included stakeholders’ participation and consultation to help LGUs
achieve public acceptance of the subproject. A series of consultations were conducted in
Barangay Sta Cruz residents and tribal leaders and members of the Pugaan Upland Growers
Association. The stakeholders confirmed that the proposed access road rehabilitation wiill uplift
their living condition and improve the quality of life considering more agricultural production
with a higher farm gate price generated.
works, has not identified any major environmental concerns due to the proposed Rehabilitation
of Centro Sta. Cruz to Sitio Lapak access road. There will only be localized short-term impacts
during construction activities due to the implementation of civil works that will be addressed in
the detailed design and through implementation of the mitigation and monitoring measures
specified in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
11. A grievance redress mechanism has been established by the LGU of Claveria prior to
commencement of site works to ensure that complaints of affected persons, especially the
IPs/ICCs, and other stakeholders regarding the project’s environmental performance are
promptly addressed. Furthermore, giving primacy to the traditional conflict resolution system,
grievance procedure has been separately set in accordance with the tribe’s customary laws
and the requirements of IPRA or RA 8371.
12. The IEE includes an EMP which details the mitigation measures, environmental
monitoring activities, institutional responsibilities, and environmental management capacity
building. The LGU, through its Municipal Planning and Development Office and the Municipal
Engineering Office, will ensure that relevant EMP provisions are included in bid and contract
documents for detailed design, project supervision, and civil works. During construction, they
will closely conduct monitoring of the contractor’s environmental performance and over-all EMP
implementation. Semi-annual environmental monitoring reports will be submitted by the LGU
to ADB, and such reports will be posted on ADB’s website for public disclosure.
13. The major positive impact of the subproject will be in the economic aspect, as well as
better accessibility. The subproject will directly benefit the people located within the barangay,
especially the Pugaan Upland Growers Association, through improved access to basic
services, and economic development. Environmental consideration of the proposed subproject
will be incorporated in the EIAMMP where possible adverse impacts will be identified including
the corresponding mitigating measures in every phase of subproject implementation.
14. This subproject will have overall beneficial impact to the stakeholders within the
influence area, and will have minor negative impacts that will be carefully monitored and
adequately mitigated through the implementation of the EMP.

2. ADB Environmental Assessment Requirements
18. According to ADB guidelines, the process of determining a project’s environment

category is to prepare a Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) screening checklist, taking
into account the type, size, and location of the proposed project. Based on ADB’s Safeguard
Policy Statement 2009 (SPS 2009), a project is classified as one (1) of the four (4)
environmental categories (A, B, C, or FI), as follows:
• Category A: Projects with potential for significant adverse environmental impacts that
are irreversible, diverse or unprecedented. These impacts may affect an area larger
than the sites or facilities subject to physical works. An environmental impact
assessment is required;
• Category B: Projects judged to have some adverse environmental impacts, but of

lesser degree and/or significance than those for category A projects. Impacts are site-
specific, few if any of them are irreversible, and in most cases mitigation measures can
be designed more readily than for Category A projects. An initial environmental
examination (IEE) is required;
• Category C: Projects likely to have minimal or no adverse environmental impacts. No

environmental assessment is required although environmental implications are still
reviewed; and
• Category FI: Projects are classified as category FI if they involve investment of funds
to or through a financial intermediary. Where the FI’s investment have minimal or no
adverse environmental risks. The FI project will be treated as Category C. All other FI’s
must establish and maintain an environmental and social management system and
must comply with the environmental safeguards requirements specified in SPS 2009
if the FI’s subprojects have the potential for significant adverse environmental impacts.
19. According to Philippines’ environmental guidelines, the Project or Sub-project can be

considered as either under Group II or III while ADB has categorized the Project as environment
Category B. Hence, this IEE has been prepared to meet the requirements of both the ADB and
the Philippine Government. Upon ADB’s receipt of the final IEE from the proponent, this will be
publicly disclosed through posting on ADB’s website.
III. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
A. Overview
20. The rehabilitation of Centro Sta. Cruz to Sitio Lapak access road aims to uplift the
quality of life of the people thru the provision of all-year-round, easy and affordable access
thereby improving the prompt delivery of basic services, increasing economic opportunities and
conditions. The access road rehabilitation will support the national resources management
project activities of the constituents.

by the DENR to the beneficiaries.
24. Out of the 1,377 residents of the barangay, 566 or 41%, which comprises of 214 males
and 352 females, are Indigenous People (IPs) belonging to the Higaonon Tribe. Similarly, the
Cebuanos comprise 520 males and 291 females totaling 811 individuals. The IPs has a
registered tribal association called the Sta. Cruz Higaonon Tribal Association (SCHTA) which
is a recipient of a draft animal project of the Mindanao Rural Development Project (MRDP) and
is represented by Datu Eulogio D. Playto.
25. The primary source of income of the people of Barangay Sta. Cruz is farming. A lot of
farm products, such as; corn, banana, camote, vegetables, coconut, coffee, and cacao; variety
of fruit-bearing trees (e.g. marang, jackfruit, durian, mangosteen, macopa, avocado, rambutan,
8

santol, and others) have been planted by the farmers. Despite of the productivity of the
barangay in terms of farming, the poor accessibility of the road from Centro Sta. Cruz to Sitio
Lapak remains a problem to the residents, especially to the IPs and other farmers. Sometimes,
they have to postpone the transportation of their crops going to the market. In this case, the
quality and quantity of their products are diminished, and thus, greatly affecting their supposed
projected income. In addition, the travel time is longer and the cost of transportation of farm
commodities is high due to the road condition.
D. Project Development Plan
1. Project Components
26. The proposed rehabilitation is 4.00 m width concrete carriageway, 0.50-meter shoulder
on both sides with 0.50 m ditch canal and thickness of 0.20 m. The sub-base course is 100 mm
thick. Typical section of the roadway is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Typical Road Section
27. There are no structures or properties that are within the road right of way (RROW) and
there are no critical structures within the project site. Moreover, the proposed major and minor
structures for waterways traversed by the proposed road will follow the existing stations for
drainage crossing. There are about 24 linear meter of the reinforced concrete pipe culvert
(RCPC) with 900 mm diameter and storm drainage that will be installed along the road network.
28. The proposed subproject needs bulldozer, grader, road roller, dump trucks, backhoe,
pay loader and transit mixer. These equipment are necessary to ensure that the detailed
engineering design is comprehensively followed during the implementation.

2. Description of the Project Phases
a. Pre-Construction Phase/Pre-Development Phase
30. This phase would involve the social preparation (to include organizational
strengthening, planning, identification and prioritization of community needs) of the community
for the entry of the subproject to the site, conduct of pre-engineering activities covering detailed
survey works to determine alignment of roads and canal systems, preparation of the detailed
engineering plans and programs of work. These activities will be conducted by the proponent
technical staff, partner line agencies, community beneficiaries, and the contractor.
b. Construction/Development Phase
31. This phase would involve the mobilization of construction equipment, construction
workers and materials to the specific subproject site after which the longer period of actual
construction work will commence. The construction phase will end up with the demobilization
of construction equipment, workers and other construction paraphernalia from the construction
site. Majority of these activities will be undertaken by the contractor and community
beneficiaries under the close supervision of the SPMU, most especially by the Municipal
Engineering Unit. Prior to actual mobilization, however, a community assembly among the
beneficiaries will be undertaken, including the IPs.
c. Operation Phase and Maintenance Phase
32. This phase involves the actual maintenance of the rehabilitated access road during its
expected economic life. Monitoring tools and parameters will be set forth in the MOA that the
LGU and DENR have signed to ensure sustainability of the constructed facility. The specific
monitoring items and parameters, location and frequency, monitoring responsibilities and
sources of budget are presented in the EIAMMP.
33. This phase will also involve the designation of spoils storage area of at least 25 m away
from water bodies for proper disposal of excavated materials, wetting areas of dust sources
along vehicle route, and regular removal of debris, logs and other materials along drainage
canals. The project will be managed by the Municipal Engineering Office in coordination with
the Barangay LGU, and PO (i.e. PUGA).
d. Abandonment Phase
34. This phase is included in the project demobilization. The proponent does not intend to
abandon any facilities and unserviceable equipment used during construction. The project
location will not be abandoned in disorderly condition but instead restored for functional use.
Following the completion of the construction, the proponent will dismantle temporary shelters
and the construction yard including unserviceable vehicles and equipment.
35. Wastes arising from the abandonment are expected to be minimal. These wastes could
include small volumes of left-over sand and gravel, re-bars and other steel materials (i.e., nails
and welding rods), cement sacks, tarpaulins, lumber, used oil and grease.
11

3. Manpower Requirements
36. Construction activities will require hiring of skilled and unskilled manpower. It is
assumed that some skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled manpower will be available in the
influence area, taking into consideration the women and the IPs. Skilled manpower not
available in the locality may be sourced out from other nearby localities. Technical manpower
will be a complementation of specialists to be provided by locally known engineering firms.
37. During the construction phase, a workforce consisting of contractual and regular
laborers will be employed, which include qualified women and members of the IPs/ICCs, to
carry out the construction of the proposed subproject. The Contractor shall employ qualified
and sufficient staff to carry out inspections, testing and monitoring for the subproject.
4. Project Cost
38. The subproject, which has an estimated project duration of 98 calendar days and will
be implemented by contract, has an updated preliminary project cost of Php 17,279,566.32
with Php 13,823,653.05 (80%) to be funded by INREMP and Php 3,455,913.26 (20%) as LGU
equity.
39. Aside from the equity counterpart provided by the LGU of Claveria for the subproject, it
has also allocated amount intended for the preparation of the subproject such as seminars,
preparation of feasibility study (or subproject proposal document) and detailed engineering,
survey of the project site and evaluation by the personnel from different sectors who are
involved in the planning and implementation of the subproject.

5. Project Duration and Schedule
41. After the INREMP had equipped the proponent with necessary technical knowledge, the
LGU-SPMU started with the finalization of the Subproject Proposal Document (SPD). The SPD
preparation has been completed and reviewed by the regional review team and the consultant.
As the SPD preparation and review commence, the DED is simultaneously prepared by the
Municipal Engineering Office and is expected to be final and complete at the time of approval.
The DED shall then be translated into a Bidding Document once SPD is approved by the council.
Procurement period should take three (3) months to comply with the ADB procurement
guidelines. Imperatively, subproject is expected to be awarded in July 2019.
42. The implementation of the proposed subproject is expected to be completed within at

least 98 calendar days. Other details are presented in Table 4.

IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
43. As shown in Table 5, the total land area of Claveria is 82,997 ha. The municipality is
composed of 24 Barangays, one (1) of which is in the urban center with an area of 2,184 ha,
while five (5) Barangays comprising 23,579 ha are considered urbanizing. The remaining
nineteen (19) are rural Barangays of which the influence area (Barangay Sta. Cruz) belongs

A. Slope and Elevation
44. Table 6 shows that the Barangay Sta. Cruz has gently sloping to rolling terrain, covering
559 ha or 49% of the total land area. It is followed by the areas that have relatively level to
gently sloping with 346 ha or about 30%, and areas that are above 18% (226 ha). In particular,
the alignment of the proposed subproject has an average slope of 5.3% with elevation ranging
from 723 m asl to 829 m asl. Details are shown in Figure 4.

B. Geology
45. Claveria is underlain mostly by volcanic flows overlying pyroclastics. Boulders and
cobbles of basaltic andesite are found scattered within the vicinity. Alluvial deposits are
confined along watercourses. Geologic classification such as Pliocene Quaternary (Mambuaya
volcanics), Upper Miocene (Opol formation), Cretaceous and Pliocene to Quaternary make up
the land of Claveria this land formed million years ago (Figure 5).
C. Soil Profile
46. Majority of soil in Claveria are generally classified as Jasaan Clay. Soils in areas with
lower elevation are generally acidic with pH level ranges from 3.9 to 5.2 while soils in the
highland areas have similar soil pH levels but are considered moderately fertile soils.
47. Generally, soil in Claveria is well-drained with moderate depth and wide range of
texture. In the ridges or crests of the mountainous areas with slope greater than 18%, soil types
are characterized by shallow soils with rock outcrops. These soils provide excellent anchorage
for most types of vegetation. These soils also contain good amount of organic matter, which
supply ample natural vegetative nourishment for crops (Figure 6).

D. Water Quality
48. Barangay Sta. Cruz falls within the Tagoloan River Basin. This barangay as well as the
entire municipality is a landlocked area. There is no presence of the river/creek along and
across the proposed road access rehabilitation. The proposed subproject is about 15 km away
from the mainstream of the Tagoloan River.
49. For Tagoloan River, the water quality assessment was based on 3rd and 4th quarters,
calendar year 2018 sampling conducted by the DPWH Flood Risk Managament Project.
50. The Tagoloan River was classified as ‘Class A’ waters based on the DENR
Memorandum Circular No. 7, series of 1993. The usage of Class A water is for sources of water
supply that will require complete treatment (coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and
disinfection) in order to meet the National Standard for Drinking Water. Table 5 shows the
laboratory analysis of physical and chemical properties specifically of the Agusan River
subwatershed where Barangay Balubal belongs.

Notes: Red font means failure to conform to the guideline value
51. Consistently, pH levels at two (2) stations during August and November monitoring
passed the permissible environmental standards. Water temperature is within the Class A
permissible limit.
17

52. Oil and grease level at two (2) stations passed the DENR Standard although it is in
maximum range level (1 mg/L) during the 4th quarter monitoring. The oil and grease level at
station 1 did not pass within the acceptable level.
53. For TDS, levels are within the environmental standard in two monitoring stations for the
last two quarters monitoring.
54. TSS concentrations at two (2) stations did not pass to the prescribed environmental
standards during the 3rd quarter monitoring period but passed during the 4th quarter monitoring
period. Higher TSS levels may be a weather-related influence before and during the time of
sampling. It is expected because of abnormal discoloration during this monitoring period.
However, changes in color in two stations are comparable to the environmental standard.
55. All DO levels at both stations passed the DENR standard. Increased level of DO in the
water indicates that there is a good oxygen level circulating in the river water. The water has
sufficient oxygen to sustain aerobic organisms. Hence, the presence of good DO levels
indicates that the river water is still a good thriving environment for aquatic life.
56. BOD concentrations at two (2) stations passed the environmental standards. In
particular, BOD directly affects the amount of dissolved oxygen in rivers and streams. The
greater the BOD, the more rapidly oxygen is depleted in the stream. This means less oxygen
is available to higher forms of aquatic life.
57. Salinity is the quantity of dissolved salt content of the water. There was a substantial
change at minimal amount of salinity level in the monitoring stations that could be attributed to
the intrusion of a high tide in the downstream and mainstream areas.
58. Meanwhile, there was an increased level of total coliform levels at two (2) sampling
stations. The total coliform counts in both stations are relatively higher than the set guideline
value (1000 MPN/100mL) for Class A waters. This could be attributed to the agricultural and
other domestic activities along the downstream of Tagoloan River.
59. Other parameters, such as Cyanide, surfactants, nitrate, phosphate, arsenic, cadmium,
lead, total mercury and hexavalent chromium, passed the environmental standard for Class A
water.
E. Land Classification
60. Majority of the areas in the municipality is classified as forestland with an area of 61,899
ha or almost 66% of the total land area while 21,098 ha or 34% are classified as alienable and
disposable lands (Figure 7). This means that Claveria can be considered to be one of the major
sinks in absorbing and sequestering carbon emissions on numbers of industries in the
neighboring Municipalities of the Province of Misamis Oriental.
61. In particular, Barangay Sta. Cruz is largely forestland areas that has 630 ha or 56% of
the total area of the Barangay and the remaining 501 ha or 44% is alienable and disposable
areas as shown in Table 9.

Forestland/Timberland 630.02 56%
Total 1,131.47 100%
F. Land Cover and Land Use
62. The land use categories in the municipality include settlements, agriculture, forest,
agro-industrial, infrastructure utilities and rivers and creeks. As shown in Figure 7, the existing
general land uses of the municipality is mostly forest areas of 55,910 ha or 67% of the total
area. This is followed by 24,491 ha or 29%, which is agricultural areas, and other uses of 2,596
ha or 3.13% of the total areas.
63. The subproject influence area (Barangay Sta. Cruz) has a total land area of 1,131 ha.
Agriculture land use occupies the biggest land area that comprises almost 69%, 29% forest
land use, 0.24% settlement areas, and 1.07% infrastructure utilities (i.e. road) of which the
19

proposed road rehabilitation will be implemented(Table 9). The settlement areas include
residential, commercial, and institutional.
64. The proposed road rehabilitation will not entail additional land acquisition as the existing
roads have enough easement to accommodate the proposed scope of works. The LGU
basically opted and maintained the existing 6-meter wide access road which will not cause loss
of shelter, residential land, agricultural and other productive assets like crops, trees, business
enterprises, income sources and other means of livelihood. No private lands will be traversed
by the proposed subproject. The common land uses along the proposed road access are
planting of agronomic crops, vegetables, rootcrops, high valued crops, and fruit bearing trees.

G. Climate
65. Two distinct climatological types prevail in Claveria. On the highly elevated eastern
portion, the prevailing climate is of type III where the wet season is very pronounced with
maximum rainfall occurring from the month of November to January. There is normally no dry
season under this type of climate. Recent observation, however, reveals that the months of
July and August have heavy rainfall precipitation.
66. The western portion of the Municipality has the type II climate classification, which
prevails also in majority of Misamis Oriental’s municipalities. Type II is characterized by
seasons, which are not very pronounced. It is relatively dry from November to April and wet for
the rest of the year.
67. The average annual rainfall of Claveria, Misamis Oriental is 29,930.36 mm (2002-2012).
There is an increasing trend of precipitation in the Municipality per record of the MOSCAT
Agromet Station in year 2002 – 2012. Years 2004, 2005 and 2006 have low rainfall with a
total of about 2,254 mm, 2,130 mm and 2,468 mm, respectively. The lowest rainfall was
recorded in 2005 with only 2,130 mm while 2011 registered the highest rainfall of about 4,638
mm.
68. Meanwhile, Claveria has recorded with an average maximum temperature ranges from
29.35°C to 30.75°C and with average minimum temperature of approximately 17.50°C to
20.46°C. The recorded lowest minimum temperature is 17.50°C which occurs in the year 2009.
Specifically, the months of January, February, March and July in year 2009 have minimum
temperatures of about 18.50°C, 18.00°C, 17.50°C and 18.50°C, respectively (Table 10).

Climate Scenario in Misamis Oriental in 2020 and 2050
69. According to PAGASA-DOST (using the PRECIS model), the projected seasonal
temperature and rainfall in Misamis Oriental and frequency of extreme events in 2020 and 2050
under the medium-range emission scenario in the provinces in Region 10 are presented in
Table 11 and 12, respectively.
21

70. Using the PRECIS model, PAGASA-DOST projected that in Misamis Oriental the mean
temperature during northeast monsoon (DJF) season will increase with 10C and 1.90C; 1.20C
and 2.30C during summer season, 1.20C and 2.40C during southwest monsoon season; and,
1.00C and 2.00C during transition season in 2006-2035 (centered in 2020) and in 2036-2065
(centered in 2050), respectively.
71. Also, using 1971-2000 data as baseline, the seasonal rainfall will increase in 4.6% and
1.8%, -10.4% and -17.8%, -3.4% and -5.2%, and 2.9% and -0.1% during northeast monsoon,
summer, southwest monsoon and transition seasons, respectively (PAGASA-DOST).

I. Biological Environment
72. The Tagoloan River Basin, where the Municipality of Claveria belongs, is apparently
characterized by diverse flora and fauna of major ecological and environmental significance.
The main Tagoloan River emanates from tributaries of four (4) major mountains, namely: Mt.
Kiamo and Mt. Tago on the east, Mt. Kimangkil on the west, and Mt. Kitanglad on the south.
These mountains, particularly Mt. Kitanglad, have a lush forest as important habitat of endemic
and threatened wildlife species. Full details of biological assessment are found and presented
in the Enhanced Watershed Management Plan (2018) and Integrated Watershed Management
Plan of the Tagoloan River Basin (2015) prepared by the DENR.
73. This subproject is almost 50 km away from Mt. Kitangland Range Natural Park. In
particular, there were no trees and crops within the 4 – 6 meters right of way on the proposed
road rehabilitation project. It must also be noted that there were no endangered and critically
endangered species of flora observed in the project area during the validation conducted on
June 4-8, 2018 (Appendix 2). The validation of the proposed road rehabilitation subproject
was representated by a team or representative from NPCO, FASPS, SPMU, MPDC, municipal
engineering, CENRO, WMPCO, PPMO, RPCO, and CESM (Figure 9).

J. Socio-Economic Conditions
1. Population
74. Considering the Municipality’s population in years 2000 and 2010 as baseline, the
population growth rate of the Municipality is computed and estimated at 1.18% using the
population census data through geometric method. Using this population growth rate and the
participation rates of the Barangays, the projected population of the succeeding years has been
presented in Table 13.
23

75. In the fifth year of the planning period, the Municipality’s population is projected at
54,091 with corresponding increase of about 21.8%. On the 10th year of the planning period,
the population is projected at 59,167 with an increase of about 33.24% or about 14,762
individuals or an increase of about 4 to 5 persons per day only.
76. It is noted that the urban Barangay (Poblacion) and the urbanizing Barangays (Ane-i,
Hinaplanan, Malagana, Mat-i and Patrocinio) continuously contribute with high participation
rates to Municipality’s population as well as other rural Barangays like Aposkahoy, Luna,
Lanise, Plaridel and Minalwang that tend to emerge into urbanizing due to relatively high
population participation rate. The rest of the Barangays including the influence area (Sta. Cruz)
is projected to have a lower rate of population growth.

2. Population Density
77. Claveria is a sparsely populated Municipality with an average gross and net population
density of only 52 and 203 persons/Km2, respectively. However, Claveria’s population density
is 78.69% lower compared to the gross population density of the Province of Misamis Oriental
(with 244 persons/ Km2) and very far below compared to the gross population density of other
highly populated Municipalities like Balingasag, Tagoloan, Opol and Jasaan with 525; 1,146;
364 and 631 persons/Km2, respectively as shown in Table 14.
78. In Barangay Sta. Cruz, the gross population density is 121 persons/ Km2 and this means
that the Barangay is identified as one of the rural areas of the Municipality.

3. Indigenous Peoples
79. The Indigenous Peoples of the Municipality belong to the Higaonon Tribe only.
According to history, the Higaonon Tribe is the original inhabitants of Claveria. They composed
98% of the population but in the year 2014, they only composed 45% of the total population.
Among the 24 Barangays, Minalwang has the most population of Higaonon Tribe composing
92% of its total population followed by Aposkahoy, Mat-I, Luna, Lanesi, Madaguing, Plaridel
and Rizal. The barangays with the least number of IP are Gumaod and Cabacungan.
80. There are four (4) Tribal Ancestral Domain Claimaints covering the Municipality,

82. A&D areas are mostly issued by tax declarations and portions of these areas are
already titled. Due to the already finished road from Villanueva-Claveria-Gingoog National
Road, several lot owners are convinced to proceed with the processing of their respective Tax
Declarations to individual Land Titles.
26

83. In the influence area of Barangay Sta. Cruz, the Alienable and Disposable areas are
already issued with Land Titles and Tax Declarations, while the areas in Forestlands are given
the Community-Based Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA), under the name of the
Pugaan Upland Growers Association (PUGA) with a total land area of about 395 ha, which
used to be under the Contract of Stewardship Certificate (CSC) issued by the DENR to the
beneficiaries. PUGA has a total of 42 members of which 13 are females and 29 are males.
5. Education
84. The Municipality of Claveria has two (2) school districts, namely; Claveria District 1, and
Claveria District 2. Claveria District 1 consists of 10 Barangays from Sta. Cruz to Plaridel, as
the Lower Barangays. Claveria District 2 consists of 14 barangays from Tambobo-an to Upper
and Tabok Barangays including Barangay Minalwang. There are 42-day care centers, 40 pre-
schools, 37 Elementary schools, 8 high school and one Tertiary school. There are 5 private
pre-schools namely: Claveria Christian Advent Institute, Cherubims Learning Center, Our Lady
of Lourdes Academy of Claveria (OLLAC), Baptist Learning Center, and Hinaplanan Advent
Christian Learning school. The proposed access road rehabilitation will start where the Sta.
Cruz Elementary School is located (Sta. 0+000).
6. Health and Sanitation
85. The existing health services of the Municipality primarily comes from the Public Hospital
and Rural Health Unit both located in Barangay Poblacion. All clienteles spend an average of
Php200.00 transportation cost in order to avail the said health services. Although Barangay
Health Centers are located in Rural Barangays, they only cater basic health consultation as
indicated in Table 16.
86. The Medical Doctor assigned in the Rural Health Unit will visit the Barangay Health
Center once every quarter and will conduct medical mission to the Barangay. Considering that
Claveria has Twenty-Four (24) Barangays, this makes the people of Claveria spend additional
budget for health-related problems.

87. Table 17 shows the increase in number of households with sanitary toilet facilities from
7,959 to 9,098 households in 2012 to 2014, with an increase of about 1,139 households or
about 12.52 %. This increase is attributed to the consistent motivation of the health staff on its
importance and the danger of unsanitary toilet to individual health. There is also enhanced
awareness among the 4Ps beneficiaries on the significant use and benefits of the sanitary toilet
considering that they are being evaluated using this as one of the indicators. Toilet bowls are
also provided by different sectors, namely; the LGU through the Municipal Nutrition Action
Office, BLGU, and PLGU. Accordingly, 4Ps is a human development measure of the national
government that provides conditional cash grants to the poorest of the poor.

7. Current Family Income
88. Table 18 shows that almost 95% of the total household in the Municipality, whose
source of income is through farming, do not meet the average monthly income of Php10,000.00
(PSA 2013) to sustain the basic food and non-food needs as per Food and Poverty Thresholds
set by the Philippine Statistics Authority. Most of these families are located in the far-flung
Barangays. The remaining 5% that has an income of above Php10,000.00 are those employed
in semi-permanent and permanent employment in both private and government institutions.

89. The influence area (Barangay Sta. Cruz) has an average income of Php6,000.00
according to the Barangay Nutrition Scholar Survey of 2014 (Table 19). Hence, this will not be
enough in providing the basic needs of a family with five members.

8. Tourism
90. The Ticala waterfalls is one (1) of the primary tourist spot found in the area (shown
above). There are also organic farms and large areas of forest trees that occupy Sta. Cruz that
makes the Barangay potential for tourism activities. There are also training centers found in the
Barangay, and visitors from other countries were also observed. Local farmers from other
Barangays are also among the identified visitors of the area because of the availability of good
and sustainable farming practices in the Barangay.
9. Road and Transportation
91. Unavailable good road condition has been identified as among the main problems of
the Barangay since no regular public transportation is serving the area. Most of the local roads
are without sand and gravel (earth), and are not passable during rainy season. The primary
transport system within the sub-project site is through single motorcycle (habal-habal). The fare
of the individual passenger and local products in the area from Sitio Lapak to Centro Sta. Cruz
is estimated as high as P60.00, which is evidently due to non-availability of a public transport
system.
92. Currently, the condition of the proposed access road to be rehabilitated particularly
during rainy season is very slippery and badly in need of improvement. The local residents and
the people from adjacent barangays that are passing through the access road are experiencing
29

the inconvenience and hazards brought about by the poor condition of the road. In order to
reach the sitios/villages on time, people are riding on a single motorcycle (habal-habal) and
paying for higher fares. On the other hand, farm inputs and farm produce are transported by
draft animal driven carts and mini trucks. There are also several road accidents that happened
in the past while traversing the said road section specifically during rainy season. The access
road proposed to be rehabilitated is a gateway to economic investment which, when
rehabilitated, will uplift the living condition and improve the quality of life in the target
community, especially the IPs, considering that more agricultural production will be realized
and higher farm gate price generated.
10. Production Area
93. Barangay Sta. Cruz produces an area of 25 ha of different kinds of fruits in the area like
durian, rambutan, mangosteen, lanzones and many others. There are also vast areas of forest
trees in the Barangay including natural grown and planted species by the local farmers with an
estimated area of 331 ha more or less. Vegetables like cucumber, squash, baguio beans and
others are also seen in the area that has an estimated total planted area of 43 ha. This is
because of the favorable climate condition that makes Barangay Sta. Cruz unique to other
Barangays in the Municipality (Table 20).

Particulars Commodities Area (ha)
Agronomic crops Yellow corn, White Corn 96

Rootcrops Sweet potato, taro, lutya and cassava 54
High Valued Crops Coffee, Abaca, Cacao 78

Source: OMAg 2017
11. Fisheries
94. Because the influence area is located in the uplands, inland fishing in the rivers and
creeks are available. Due to chemical spraying, there is a decrease in fishes caught from 1 to
0.5 ton per year as farmers tend to use inorganic and excessive usage of pesticides in their
farm lands that will flow down to the streams compromising the quality of water in the rivers
and creeks.
12. Electricity
95. Out of the 300 households, composing 1,377 residents, there are 280 households or
93% with electricity being distributed by the Misamis Oriental Rural Electric Service
Cooperative (MORESCO). With the rehabilitation of the access road, there is a possibility that
the remaining households without electricity would be provided already or the said households
30

will eventually have increased income and then be able to pay for electrical connection and
subscription.
V. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
works, has not identified any major environmental concerns due to the proposed rehabilitation
of Centro Sta. Cruz to Sitio Lapak access road given that all the proposed civil works are only
asset preservation of existing roadway and are located within existing right-of-way. There will
only be localized short-term impacts during construction activities due to implementation of civil
works that will be addressed in the detailed design and through implementation of the mitigation
and monitoring measures specified in the EMP. These construction related impacts can be
mitigated by: 1) the contractors’ work practices, especially those related to the systematized
demolition procedure consistent with approved standard safety requirements; 2) cooperation
by the local authorities with the contractor in terms of use of public space and utilities; 3)
project management’s strict enforcement of the correct construction practices and standards;
4) the incorporation of the mitigation measures identified in the IEE into the bid documents and
specifications; and 5) close monitoring of the contractor’s implementation of the required
mitigation measures.
97. The potential environmental impacts resulting from implementation of civil works are
expected to be minor and likely short-term since the improvement works will not involve
widening and alignment adjustments (Table 21). Detailed environmental mitigation measures
have been prepared for all the identified impacts and presented in the environmental
management plan under Chapter VIII.

98. During operation, the project is expected to benefit the environment and socio-
economic conditions of the subproject area through increased delivery of agricultural products,
increased tourism, improved access and economic development, reduced dust due to asset
preservation, improved road safety due to installation of safety signs, and others.
99. Environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures during subproject pre-
construction, construction and operation phases are described under Chapter VIII. Detailed
environmental mitigation measures have been prepared for all the identified impacts and
presented in the EMP.
A. Pre-Construction
1. Confirmation of no required resettlement, relocations, and compensation
100. This will be undertaken prior to the commencement of any civil works. The proponent
shall conduct consultation meetings with directly affected barangays, the IP leaders, and
concerned PO, and information awareness campaign regarding subproject location.
2. Identification and prioritization of road section where re-gravelling will be done
101. Identification and prioritization of road sections will be given information and
participation of the community, particularly women and marginalized sectors. A subproject site
validation will be facilitated to ensure that the INREMP validation process on subproject
implementation is being complied with and hold consultative meetings with balanced
representation of men and women and affected persons on the subproject components and
management plan.
3. Preparation of detailed engineering designs and programs of work
102. The detailed engineering designs and programs of work of the subproject have been
prepared by the LGU for the completion of the proposed upgraded access road. The detailed
designs shall include the identification of spill management prevention, emergency response
plans for all construction sites, aggregate borrow pit’s location and rock supply areas which is
away from human settlements with fencing and access barriers, and specific plan to notify and
provide them schedule to minimize disruption to normal commercial and residential activities.
103. The LGU with assistance from TA-PMIC will ensure that relevant provisions of the EMP
in terms of implementation of environmental mitigation measures, monitoring activities,
supervision and reporting are included for civil works and construction supervision.
33

4. Recruitment of workers
104. The potential impact of the subproject will be hiring of skilled local workers and other
unskilled jobs. A robust “local first” hiring policy will be designed and be implemented in
coordination with local officials and community leaders, especially the IPs leaders, at the
barangay and municipal levels. The Contractor will be required to follow the “local first” hiring
policy, taking into consideration the hiring of qualified women and the IPs.
B. Construction
1. Construction materials acquisition, transport access, and storage system
105. The contractor will source construction materials under its own arrangements, and
ensure that all materials used for the subproject are legally sourced, including the sand, gravel,
and other quarry materials. Uncontrolled sourcing of such materials could lead to environmental
impacts such as the loss of topsoil or the disfigurements of the landscape from borrow pits.
Earthen embankments and material stockpiles will be susceptible to erosion, particularly during
the rains and re- suspension of dust during the dry seasons.
106. Local roads will be damaged during transportation of borrow materials and by the
construction equipment. These roads include those which are leading to the project site. In
order to reduce impact on all borrow sites, contractors will water the local roads close to the
settlements used by the borrow trucks.
107. As much as possible, contractors will not make use of productive agricultural land. In
case this is unavoidable, the contractor will obtain consent from the land owner and will restore
the site to its original condition after completion of civil works.
2. Clearing and removal of obstructions
108. It must be noted that there are no trees that will be affected during the rehabilitation;
hence permit to cut is not required. The contractors will not use or permit the use of wood as a
fuel for the execution of any part of the works. The contractor will be required to minimize
damage and cutting of surrounding vegetation during slope formation, and prevent erosion and
protect the cut slope with temporary or permanent drainage as soon as practicable after cutting.
If new erosion occurs accidentally, it would be backfilled immediately to restore original
contours.
3. Ground surface leveling and gravelling of existing access road
109. During ground surface leveling and gravelling of existing access road, the potential
impacts would be minor and short-termed to the terrestrial resources as well as to the quality of
34

surface water in the river. The contractor is expected to do the following: 1) the construction site
should be located away from forested or plantation areas, 2) all construction fluids such as oils,
and fuels should be stored and handled away from forested and plantation areas, 3) no waste
of any kind is to be discarded on land or in forests/plantations, 4) erosion channels must be built
around aggregate stockpile areas to contain rain-induced erosion, 5) earthworks should be
conducted during dry periods, 6) no waste of any kind is to be thrown in surface waters, 7) no
washing or repair of machinery near surface waters, 8) pit latrines to be located away from
surface waters, 9) no unnecessary earthworks in or adjacent to water courses, 10) no
aggregate mining from rivers or lakes, and 11) minimize the use of heavy equipment at steep
slopes.
110. During operation, silt load in the river is expected to be minor due to slope protection
structures installed. The contractor will also be required to make additional measures to
minimize erosion and landslides during construction phase such as 1) minimize damage and
cutting of surrounding vegetation during slope formation, 2) prevent erosion and protect the cut
slope with temporary drainage as soon as practicable after cutting, and 3) If new erosion occurs
accidentally, back fill immediately to restore original contours
4. Civil works
111. Since the subproject will mainly involve concrete pavement (with no road widening and
realignments), main impacts on land during construction are from air pollution, noise from
equipment, land and water contamination, and traffic and access concerns. The contractor will
apply stated mitigating measures during concrete pavement and grouted riprap activities such
as 1) piling of aggregates at sites should be used/or removed promptly, or covered and placed
in non-traffic areas, 2) all spills should be cleaned immediately and handled as per hazardous
waste management plan, and according to government regulations, 3) observe proper waste
management, 4) applying water to exposed soil and construction roads to avoid excessive dust
particles, 5) maintain equipment in proper working condition, and 6) provision of noise control
measures.
5. Construction of drainage system
112. The contractor shall construct drainage systems to facilitate drainage and rain water
natural channels. The contractor will also provide adequate short-term drainage away from
construction sites to prevent ponding and flooding. They shall prevent borrow pits and quarries
to be filled with water and protect surface waters from silt and eroded soil
6. Implementation of noise and dust control measure
113. During construction, air quality is likely to be degraded by exhaust emissions from the
operation of construction equipment, and dust generated from haul roads, unpaved roads,
exposed soils and material stock piles.
35

114. In order to mitigate these, the following will be implemented: 1) regularly apply wetting
agents to exposed soil and construction roads, 2) cover or keep moist all stockpiles of
construction aggregates, and all truckloads of aggregates, 3) minimize the time for excavations
and exposed soil are left open or exposed, 4) backfill immediately after work is completed, 5)
restrict working time between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm, 6) maintain equipment in proper working
condition, 7) replace unnecessarily noisy vehicles and machinery, 8) vehicles and machinery
to be turned off when not in use, and 9) construct temporary noise barriers around excessively
noisy activity areas if possible.
7. Dust and noise from borrow pits
115. Noise and dust may be generated from borrow pits. The contractor will ensure the
following mitigating measures: 1) provision of noise control measures to comply with national
standards, watering of the earth roads close to the settlements, use covered truck, 2) secure
appropriate environmental permits, including quarry permits, 3) the borrow and material
dumping sites must be access controlled to keep away unauthorized entry of people, grazing
cattle and any other stray animals, and 4) protective gear like ear plugs will be provided to
operating personnel if they are exposed to noise levels beyond threshold limits.
8. Implementation of spoil management and control measure
116. The contractor will ensure that there will be no contamination of land and surface waters
from excavated spoils, and construction wastes. The uncontaminated spoils will be disposed
of in municipal or provincial designated sites, which must never be in or adjacent surface water.
On the other hand, suspicious contaminated soil will be tested, and disposed of in designated
sites identified as per government regulations.
9. Solid and liquid construction waste management system
117. Solid and liquid construction wastes management system will be facilitated to avoid
contamination of land and surface water from the construction wastes. The management of
general solid and liquid wastes of construction will follow government regulations to include
covering, collecting, handling, transporting, recycling, and disposing waste created from
construction activities and the work force. A schedule of solid and liquid waste pickup and
disposal will be established and followed to ensure construction sites are as clean as possible.
All solid wastes will be separated and recyclables be donated to the barangay. There will be
no site-specific landfills established by the contractors. All solid waste will be collected and
removed from the work camps and disposed in local waste disposal sites.
10. Water Quality
118. The subproject has potential impacts on water quality due to washing of equipment (i.e.
vehicles and concrete mixers), and leakage and spills from discharge from worker camps to
36

the water resources. To mitigate, there should be a 1) set up proper and adequate sanitary
facilities, 2) ensure strict observance of proper waste handling and disposal and proper
sanitation including by the contractors and its workers, 3) provide wastewater treatment facility
(e.g., septic tank), and 4) trucks and other vehicle maintenance should be strictly controlled to
prevent the discharge of waste into the river system. Wastewater from the construction works
containing high concentration of suspended solids should be treated through sedimentation
tanks. 5) The discharge of cement-laden water and slurry during concrete mixing may
contaminate water resources and damage productive land in the surrounding areas. To
mitigate possible effects of cement-laden water and slurry, the Contractor shall i) collect and
retain all the concrete washout water and solids in leak proof containers, so that this does not
reach the soil surface and then migrate to surface waters or into the ground water, ii) recycle
the collected concrete washout water and solids, and/or iii) use of a washout pit made with a
plastic lining that can be dug into the ground or built above grade.
11. Workers health, safety and hygiene
119. Construction sites are likely to have public health impacts. The contractor will ensure
that no untreated wastewater is discharged in the river and that no site-specific landfills will be
established at the construction camps. There will be a potential for diseases to be transmitted,
exacerbated by inadequate health and safety practices. The contractor will therefore be
required to recruit or designate a health and safety officer to address such concerns in the work
sites and liaise/work with the nearby communities.
120. Mitigation measures include: 1) proper fencing, protective barriers, and buffer zones
should be provided around all construction sites, 2) sufficient signage and information
disclosure, and supervisors and night guards should be placed, 3) worker and public safety
guidelines should be followed, 4) provide adequate sanitation and waste disposal at
construction sites, 5) the contractor will not hire children and pregnant women, 6) standing
water suitable for disease vector breeding should be filled in, 7) culture sensitivity, worker
education, and awareness seminars for construction hazards should be given at the
beginning of the construction phase. A construction site safety program should be developed
and distributed to workers, 8) appropriate safety clothing and footwear should be mandatory
for all construction workers, 9) adequate medical services must be on site or nearby all
construction site, 10) drinking water must be provided at all construction sites, 10) sufficient
lighting be used during necessary night work, and 10) all construction sites should be examined
daily to ensure unsafe conditions are removed.
12. Traffic safety and management
121. Throughout the construction period, the contractor should ensure that affected people
are provided adequate and safe access to properties (structures, land, etc.). Furthermore, the
contractor is responsible for ensuring that all construction vehicles observe speed limits on the
construction sites and to provide adequate signage, barriers, and flag persons for traffic control.
Sign postings such as ‘men working’, ‘Keep left/right’, ‘construction ahead’, and ‘speed limit’,
should be used for traffic management and road safety. As much as possible, road works will
be confined to one half of the road width at each section to provide access to pedestrian and
vehicles during construction works.
37

13. Drainage System Construction
122. The contractor shall construct drainage systems to facilitate drainage and rain water
natural channels. The contractor will also provide adequate short-term drainage away from
construction sites to prevent ponding and flooding.
14. Ecological environment (Flora and Fauna)
123. The rehabilitation of the existing access road will directly cause minor degradation of
the local ecology through the clearance of small areas of vegetation at major work sites. A
short-term impact on ecology along the rehabilitated road is likely to occur in worksites during
the construction period due to minor vegetation clearance. Vegetative cover stripped from the
locations described above will be kept for slope protection.
124. Meanwhile, the potential impacts from construction worker camps are wildlife poaching
of edible animals and birds of the locality in spite of prohibitions. The contractor and the Bgy
Officials including the IP community’s Council of Elders will be responsible for providing
adequate knowledge to the workers regarding the protection of flora and fauna. In short, all
workers will be prohibited from hunting wild animals. This has been emphasized during the IEE
Public Consultation conducted including the need to have a pre-construction conference that
includes the barangay officials, PO members/officers and members of the Council of Elders.
15. Damage to properties
125. Another potential impact during construction is damaged to properties (structures,

irrigation, farmland) and access roads due to civil works, transport of materials and other
project-related activities. To address this impact, the contractor will immediately repair and/or
compensate for any damage that it causes to properties (houses, farmlands, aquaculture
ponds, irrigation canals, and others), community facilities such as water supply, power supply,
communication facilities and the like. Access roads used for transport of construction materials
and other construction-related activities will be maintained by the Contractor in at least in their
pre-project condition for the duration of construction.
16. Concrete washout
126. The discharge of cement-laden water and slurry during concrete mixing may
contaminate water resources and damage productive land in the surrounding areas. To
mitigate possible effects of cement-laden water and slurry, the Contractor shall 1) collect and
retain all the concrete washout water and solids in leak proof containers, so that this does not
reach the soil surface and then migrate to surface waters or into the ground water, 2) recycle
the collected concrete washout water and solids, and/or 3) use of a washout pit made with a
plastic lining that can be dug into the ground or built above grade.
38

17. Use of hazardous substances
127. Storage and use of fuel, lubricant and other toxic and hazardous chemicals will have
potential impacts on soil surface and groundwater contamination. To address this impact,
vehicle maintenance and refueling will be confined to areas in construction sites designed (with
concrete flooring, drainage leading to oil and water separator, etc.) to contain spilled lubricants
and fuels. Spill waste will be disposed to sites approved by the concerned government agency
and following national regulations. Adequate precaution will be taken to prevent oil/lubricant/
hazardous substances contamination of channel beds. Spillage if any will be immediately
cleared with utmost caution to leave no traces. All areas intended for storage of hazardous
materials will be quarantined and provided with adequate facilities to combat emergency
situations such as fire, spills, etc. in compliance with all the applicable statutory stipulation. The
personnel in-charge of these sites will be properly trained and these areas will be access
controlled and entry will be allowed only under authorization. Hazardous wastes will be
collected, stored, transported and disposed consistent with national regulations to ensure that
these will not cause pollution of surrounding areas.
18. Public safety
128. Some of the mitigation measures that should be implemented are as follows: To
mitigate this impact, the following should be addressed by the Contractor: 1) installation of
sturdy fencing around excavation areas and construction sites, 2) provision of proper signage
and lighting at night at the periphery of the construction site to warn and direct traffic and
pedestrians, 3) deployment of security personnel in hazardous areas to restrict public access,
4) imposition of speed limits for construction vehicles along residential areas and where there
are other sensitive receptors, and 5) orientation of drivers on safe driving practices to minimize
accidents and to prevent spill of hazardous substances and other construction materials during
transport.
C. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Phase
1. Operation of upgraded access road
129. The rehabilitation of Centro Sta. Cruz to Sitio Lapak access road will have potential
impacts both positive and negative to the area. The negative impacts will directly involve the
increased risk of accident or injury, air pollution and noise, and unplanned urbanization.
However, the positive impacts will mainly focus on increased delivery of agricultural products,
provide access to natural resources management project sites, and open for tourism
businesses. To mitigate these impacts, the LGU of Claveria and other concerned agencies
shall initiate and implement the following: 1) set speed limit when passing through populated
area, 2) provide appropriate warning signs and lighting, 3) regular removal of debris, logs and
other materials along drainage canals to avoid clogging, 4) regular vegetation control along
run-off area to ensure free flow, 5) ensure that existing environmental management policies
are effectively implemented and proper coordination involves different agencies, 6) adherence
39

to land use and zoning regulations, and 7) promote tourism in the area through advertisement
from the local and nationwide venue.
VI. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION, AND PARTICIPATION
A. Stakeholder Consultations
130. The IEE process includes stakeholders’ participation and consultation to assist LGUs
attain public acceptance of the subproject. Public consultations in Barangay Sta. Cruz were
conducted by DENR/INREMP, CENRO Initao, Local Government Unit of Claveria, TA-PMIC
and the IP Community which confirmed that the Rehabilitation of Centro Sta. Cruz to Sitio.
Lapak Access Road is essential to the community (Table 22).
131. On June 5-7, 2018, the team arrived at the Municipality of Claveria and initiated a
meeting with the LGU’s Sub Project Management Unit and field implementing units to discuss
the objectives of the visit. After the meeting, site or ocular inspection was conducted to validate
the scope of works and location. This includes a public consultation particularly on June 6,
2018 (Appendix 3). The consultation with municipal, barangay officials and residents
confirmed that the rehabilitation of the access road is essential for economic development. On
June 22, 2018, the proponent with the technical assistance of the consultant has made
presentation of the Subproject describing the objective of the consultations, project description,
proposed civil works, and anticipated social and environmental impacts and their mitigation
measures. The consultations went very well and effective and the discussions were
documented. Results of the consultation were positive, with local people considering that the
road will bring significant economic benefits to the barangays and increase trade flows.
Concerns on the subproject mainly revolved on its construction phase which can be mitigated.
No long term negative environmental impact assessed by the participants. Majority of the
respondents cited ease of transport as one of the direct benefits of the road and they are not
anticipating any negative impact of the subproject to the environment (Appendix 4).
132. With the involvement of the LGU in the sub-project activities of INREMP particularly in
the implementation of rural infrastructure support facilities, they dedicated time and effort in
participating with orientation, consultation, planning and training activities. A barangay and
municipal resolution was crafted affirming the interest of the Barangay Council and the Local
Government Unit to apply, negotiate and avail financing grant from the INREMP of the DENR
thru the Municipal Development Fund Office, and undertake other acts necessary for the
effective implementation of the proposed road rehabilitation subproject (Appendices 5 - 7)

Key Issue Responses
Benefits from the access road rehabilitation The following are the responses of the participants when asked what benefits they
expressed by on- site and off-site are expecting to gain from the subproject:
stakeholders  Ease in the transport of produce to the market.
 Increase in access to health and other government services.
40

 Improvement in the access to educational facilities.

 Increase in household income and
 Provision of jobs to qualified IPs and women.
Pre-construction phase issues  Although no issues were identified in this phase, Bae Dael underscored the
importance of having the ritual before the actual rehabilitation starts. For
them, this would ensure that there will be no negative impact on the
Higaonon’s culture and that no spirits will be disturbed by the migrants. In
addition, Engr. Perino emphasized that during the initial consultation of the
LGU, contractor and the community, the IP leaders should be able to inform
all stakeholders regarding the Higaonons cultural and traditional policies and
practices.

41

B. Information Disclosure
133. After study completion, the IEE documenting the mitigation measures and consultation
process will be submitted to ADB for posting on their website, DENR-FMB, the Municipality of
Claveria, DENR regional office, which will make them available to the public. More informal and
vigorous level of disclosure and consultation will be done during implementation through setting
up a formal grievance redress committee with a representation from the affected people. The
field consultant in association with the Contractor will be responsible for managing the effective
grievance redress program.
VII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
134. The Local Government Unit of Claveria together with the DENR-INREMP- personnel
conducted the consultations with the IPs and Non-IPs benefiting the sub-project. However,
possible issues, concern or grievances arising from the communities in relation to the
subproject implementation have always been considered. Thus, the LGU and the INREMP
personnel set up a grievance redress mechanism to provide venues in resolving grievances at
the beneficiaries of the subproject, to resolve whatever problems arising in the subproject area.
135. Since, the community consultations were conducted smoothly and no adverse or violent
reactions have been noted, there are only minor grievances that are anticipated which may
arise due to the project implementation, which are listed below:
 Road Accessibility Related Grievances – This may include complaints from

communities using the roads under repair or construction due to temporary obstruction,
which may cause delay in travel time and other inconveniences of the travelling public.
 Road Rehabilitation/ Construction Related Grievances – Community members may

demand to be hired as part of the labor force in the project
construction/implementation. This may also include complaints of community members
regarding noise, drainage, and etc.
 Indigenous Peoples related grievances – may come from IPs residing within the
influence areas concerned with potential effects to ecological and social resources of
their area/abode.
 Equal access to project benefits – may come from a beneficiary perception that he/she
is not extended with the same quantity and quality of services.
136. If in case grievance will arise, there are existing groups in the area which can be tapped
to form a grievance committee such as; the Barangay Development Council (BDC) with its
Lupon which is mainly in-charge of settling disputes related to Barangay administration, the IP
Chieftain and/or the Barangay IP Mandatory Representative, which also takes care of resolving
grievances relating to the indigenous people. The Grievance Intake Form is attached as
Appendix 8.
42

137. The BDC then and the IP Chieftain and IP Mandatory Representative will be the first
people/group to be approached by the aggrieved party for any complaint. Both groups may
then resolve the issues at their level. In case either group cannot resolve the matters at their
level, they shall make proper documentation of the case and submit the same to the Municipal
Development Council (MDC). The MDC is composed of the different barangay chairmen of the
municipality, and they are mainly the policy-making body especially with regards to barangay
affairs. Thus, the MDC will be the body to resolve the grievances endorsed to them by the BDC.
In case, the MDC is not able to resolve the disputes, it will then be endorsed to the Municipal
Council, which shall the body to finally resolve the disputes. Complaints and results of
grievances are posted in Full Disclosure Bulletin Boards (FDBB) at the Barangay and Municipal
LGU bulletin. The complainants will be notified through writing on the decision and results of
their complaints and results of resolution of their grievances. The complainants are exempted
in paying any filing fees, whatsoever.
138. In cases when the issue is not feasible to be resolve within the above-mentioned bodies,
the following steps shall apply:
a. The grievance shall be filed by the affected person with the WMC who will act within
15 days upon receipt thereof;
b. If no understanding or amicable solution can be reached, or if the affected person
(AP) does not receive a response from the WMC within 15 days of registry of the
complaint, he/she can appeal to the concerned Regional Subproject Coordination
Office, which will act on the complaint/grievance within 15 days from the day of its
filing;
c. If the affected person is not satisfied with the decision of the Regional Subproject
Coordination Office, he/she can appeal to NPCO within 15 days of receiving the
decision of the Regional Subproject Coordination Office.
d. If the affected person is not satisfied with the decision of the NPCO, he/she as the
last resort can submit the complaint to any court of law.
e. Affected persons shall be exempted from all administrative and legal fees incurred
pursuant to the grievance redress procedures. All complaints received in writing
from affected persons will be documented and shall be acted upon immediately
according to the procedures detailed above.
Grievance Among IPs

139. Giving primacy to the traditional conflict resolution system, grievances will be handled
following the procedure outlined below. In resolving disputes among the indigenous peoples,
the determination or decision is usually reached through dialogue and consensus. There may
be several conflict resolution sessions according to the specific tribe’s customary laws before
the dispute may be resolve. Thus, there is no clear definite timeline on when the conflict or
dispute should be settled at the level of the clan and the Council of Elders.
a. Dispute/grievance will be resolved first among the members of the clan;
b. If the said grievance/dispute is not resolved at the clan level, this will be brought
to the level of the Council of Elders (COE); and
43

c. If still unresolved at the COE level, the said dispute/grievance will be submitted
to the NCIP Regional Hearing Officer (RHO), for resolution, where the decision
will be final and executory. The dispute/ grievance will be heard and
adjudicated in accordance with the Rules on Pleadings, Practice and
Procedures before the NCIP.

IX. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
A. Conclusion
146. The present IEE reviewed the general environmental profile of the subproject, covering
about 2.29 km with a design width of 4 m carriageway, 1 m shoulder at both sides and screened
the subproject to assess potential impacts. The IEE reveals that no major negative
environmental impacts are likely to occur due to the construction activities and normal
operations after the proposed rehabilitation. The implementation of appropriate mitigation
measures during construction and operation phases will minimize the negative impacts of the
subproject to acceptable levels. To ensure that these mitigation measures are implemented
and negative impacts avoided, the measures will be included in the civil works bid and contract
specifications of the subproject.
147. Rural infrastructure projects, such as existing access road rehabilitation, are important
to the economic development of any locality. The Rehabilitation of Centro Sta. Cruz to Sitio
Lapak Access Road will uplift the quality of life of the people by providing an easy, safe and
affordable access; improving the prompt delivery of basic services, increasing economic
57

opportunities, and supporting the INREMP NRM subproject activities of the constituents. The
economic development of Barangay Sta. Cruz will redound to the overall development of the
entire municipality and the adjacent localities.
148. Hence, the subproject will have an overall beneficial impact and will have minor
negative impacts that will be carefully monitored and adequately mitigated through
implementation of the EMP.
B. Recommendation
149. The subproject proposal on the Rehabilitation of Centro Sta. Cruz to Sitio Lapak Access
Road will boost the economic activities of the influence area which is currently experiencing
inconvenience and hazards due to the poor condition of the road. The subproject will uplift the
social, political, cultural and economic status of the people.
150. After thorough analyses of the subproject, it is expected that it will result to: reduction
of transportation cost of agricultural, non-agricultural products and passengers by 60%,
increase of farm production by 5% of agricultural commodities, reduction of travel time by 60%
(only in Sitio Lapak), support the accessibility of the community to economic opportunity, and
provide direct support to INREMP-NRM and other programs of DENR, thus giving hope to the
community and the Indigenous People in the advancement of more opportunities economically
and socially.
works, has not identified any major environmental concerns due to the proposed Rehabilitation
of Centro Sta. Cruz to Sitio Lapak Access Road given that all the proposed civil works are only
asset preservation of existing roadway and are located within existing right-of-way. There will
only be localized short-term impacts during construction activities due to implementation of civil
works that will be addressed in the detailed design and through implementation of the mitigation
and monitoring measures specified in the EMP. The proposed subproject is, therefore, strongly
recommended for immediate funding and subsequent implementation.

Barangay Hall, Sta. Cruz, Claveria, MIsamis Oriental on June 22, 2018.
TIME STARTED: 10:39 AM
I. Opening Prayer – Bae Cecilia Dael
II. INTRODUCTION – Engr. Bebot greeted the participants and appreciated their time spent in
attending the activity. It was observed that the expected number of participants were far from the
number who attended. He then asked the body what happened because as early as June 5 this
activity was already set and the Barangay Council of Sta Cruz was aware and volunteered
themselves to inform their IP constituents about this activity.
It was learned that this date was also set to be the release of Senior Citizen pensions and there
was also a scheduled activity for those parents who have children which is unregistered at the
Local Civil Registrar. He then asked the body for any suggestion about the situation. Bae Dael
suggested that the officials must worked the situation out because of the conflict of schedule.
Engr. Bebot then asked the body if they can guarantee that those IPs who did not attend this
activity will also be informed about the project once asked.
Bae Dael evaluated the consensus of the activity and even asked for a reschedule. Kag. Salbo
objected and told the body that the Barangay Council will conduct a by Sitio re-echo activity for
those IPs who can’t attend today’s IP consultation activity to ensure that the information be
properly disseminated. Pastor Patindol seconded and even added that it is of great help if the
Barangay Council will conduct a synchronized sitio assembly for the information dissemination
and consultation about the project. Bae Dael also agreed to the idea. It was then agreed by the
body that the suggestion of Kag. Salvo be taken and assigned personnel responsible for the said
by Sitio re-echo activity.

Engr. Bebot answered that the INREMP was limited to 4-meter and that NRM and RI are partners.
Without the presence of NRM project there will be no RI project. NRM will be the primary project
that will be supported by RI project. Engr. Bebot then inquired the body if there were still details
about the road access project that were unclear to them.
In chorus: Understood.
Engr. Jemuel requested the INREMP personnel to raise their hands and directed the body that if
ever they have additional questions about INREMP then they must not hesitate to approach those
personnel.
Engr Jemuel: Is Higaonon tribe the only tribe in this barangay?
In chorus: yes, Higaonon only.
Engr Jemuel: Now that you have known the details of the said access road project, what were
the benefits you expect to get from the project?
Bae Dael: For those whose farms are remotely located, the project will provide efficient access to
the farm owners in transporting their goods to the market.
Albert Berano: I have never experienced a concreted road in this place, I believe that the absence
of a decent access road is one of the factors that many of us in this place did not attained high
education degree, the struggle we encountered in hiking when going to school and in transporting
patients during emergencies will be lessened if the said project will be implemented.
Leonora Lagat: We will benefit by being able to easily transport our products. We will be producing
quality farm products, high-cost farm products and higher farm income. Farmers will now be
encouraged to plant more and that we will have a higher land value.
Engr. Jemuel: What are the other benefits?
Pastor Patindol: It will maintain peace and order because it will provide easy access to law
enforcers.
Engr. Jemuel: Do you think there are negative effects in implementing the project?
No one answered.
Engr. Jemuel: Who are those people that will use the project? Please raise your hands.

Engr. Jemuel: Do you have any law about leisure and recreation such as video-k during night
time?
In chorus: We have a 10PM curfew.
Again Engr. Jemuel reminded the body not to forget to tell the contractor about these matters.
Engr. Jemuel: How about the noise, is it possible that you could tolerate the noise or dust?
Mrs. Baco: We will advise the contractor to construct their bunkhouse away from barangay center.
Engr. Jemuel: What will you tell them during the second step, the construction? Are dust and
noise will not be a problem to you during construction?
Bae Dael: We will be considerate because this is for our own benefit.
Engr. Jemuel: How about the senior citizens, what can you say?
In chorus: it’s okay. The construction site is a bit far.
Bae Dael: One of the reasons why we should conduct a ritual, is to avoid disturbance.
Pastor Patindol: the contractor must dig a hole for their waste disposal
Engr. Jemuel: It is possible that during construction there are spilled used oil that may run through
the creeks and some soil erosion, what can you say about that?
Bae Dael: We can forgive the lapses.
Engr. Jemuel: Is the construction can cause difficulty to habal-habal operators and commuters?
Pastor Patindol: Yes, but we will request the contractor to provide at least one lane or a temporary
passage way to be assisted by a flagman/flagwoman.
Engr. Jemuel: How about the students, it will cause them delay?
Bae Dael: Those are temporary problems with solutions, what is important is to implement the
project and to have a better access road.
In chorus: It’s okay, we can bear the situation.
Engr. Jemuel: The third step is the post-construction; if you will have a better access road it is
possible that habal-habal operators will increase their speed. What can you say about that?

78
Bae Dael: As of now, we have no ordinance about speed limit but we can work on that and request
the council to make one.
Pastor Patindol: We will adopt national law on speed limit particularly in school zones and to install
signages to slow down.
Engr Jemuel: Is it possible for the council to make an ordinance about speed limit?
Pastor Patindol: we will request that.
Bae Dael: We will also suggest/generate time schedule when to let heavy trucks to use the road.
Engr. Jemuel: What would be the effects of rehabilitating the road on your culture?
Bae Dael: We must maintain the road, or else it will be destroyed.
Engr. Jemuel: What will happen to your culture, to the Higaonons, if you will have a better access
road and other people can easily access your place?
Bae Dael: It can’t affect because they will pay… we will assign personnel to watch and to guard…
it will cause us fear because people with evil purpose can easily come.
Pastor Patindol: It will cause cultural erosion.
Engr. Jemuel: Now that you will have a better access road, is this affect your biodiversity? Is the
Higaonon can guard this?
In chorus: Higaonon will guard the biodiversity.
Engr. Jemuel: If the road construction is already finished, what do you think would happen to the
contractor’s bunkhouse?
Bae Dael: If the barangay can benefit it, we would request that they let us have the bunkhouse.
Engr. Jemuel: If there will be a landslide incident?
Kag. Salvo: We the council, will automatically take the responsibility; we will allocate funds for
that matter.
For. Demetrio: If the project will be turned-over, the LGU will then take the responsibility to
maintain the road.
Engr. Jemuel: Are you included in the ancestral domain claim of Bukidnon side?
