I. INTRODUCTION

A. BACKGROUND

i. Demographics

Province is strategically located in the central part of Mindanao, specifically


at the eastern part. It is one of the provinces under the Region which is composed
of 17 municipalities and 1 city, and further divided into 3 Congressional Districts,

City is the capital city of Province and currently the seat of the Provincial
Government . Based on the results of the 2020 Census of Population and Housing,
the city’s population was 160,791 which make up 3.28% of Region’s total
population. This showed an average annual increase of 2.93% from year 2015 to
2020. Of the city’s forty (40) barangays, the top 5 most populous barangays are
Poblacion (28,824), Sudapin (11,563), Singao (9,894), Lanao (9,782), and Amas
(7,579). On the other hand, the least populous barangays are Malinan (869), San
Roque (1,061), Luvimin (1,264), Indangan (1,309), and Sto. Niño (1,337).

ii. Economy

Known as one of the food baskets in Mindanao, Province is majorly an


agriculture-based industry with a total land area of 207,032 hectares that is
devoted to agricultural use. Its vast plains and rolling terrains provide suitable
areas for growing a variety of crops. Generally, its agriculture/fisheries/ forestry
industry, particularly of the high value commercial crops are considered to have
the best potentials for contributing to the province’s local economic growth as it
generates local employment (Enhanced PDPFP).

In addition to these is the booming tourism industry because of the


existing and potential natural attractions such as mountain peaks, cold and hot
springs, caves, waterfalls, lakes, rivers and many others which have attracted both
local and foreign tourists.

More specifically, City being the capital city and the center of commerce
and trade in the province also remains mainly agricultural with 76.57% or 26,037.10
hectares of its total land area that is into agricultural use. Aside from agriculture,
other industries that contribute to the city’s economy include

9
livestock and poultry production, commerce, industry and trade, and tourism
sectors among others.

iii. Agriculture and Rural Development Sectors

Of the province’s total land area, 90.46% is suited for agricultural use. The
main source of living among Cotabateños is therefore dependent to agriculture
with rice, rubber, coconut, oil palm, lakatan banana, coffee and cacao as its major
commodities. With this, programs of the Provincial Government are aimed at
increasing areas planted with rubber, coconut, oil palm, banana, coffee and cacao.
Complementary to these are the establishment of processing plants in
support to these products; and linking the production areas with the processing
plants and eventually to the market through the upgrading of farm-to-market
roads which has been one of its priority concerns.
As to the development framework on the economic front,goal is to
establish an environment conducive for economic activities through a sustained
agro-industrial and tourism development. In support to social and economic
development, infrastructure is therefore considered as one of its vital
components.

B. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION PROFILE

i. Value Chain Summary

Lakatan banana chain involves and includes: input suppliers, primary


producers, and layers of intermediaries. Agents pick-up the banana and bring
these to shippers/consolidators. Farmers may also bring directly their harvest to
the consolidators depending on volume and access to transportation. From the
agents, the produce would be sold either in bulk to a shipper or sent directly to
the wholesaler/consignee in Bicol, Manila, Cebu, and Leyte. Based on key
informant interviews, it is estimated that about 50% to 60% of the production that
meet basic quality requirements are brought to Cebu and Manila through ports in
Cagayan de Oro, Agusan, Surigao, Ozamis, Iligan, and General Santos. Once the
bananas reach the consignees and wholesalers, these are then distributed to
public markets, supermarkets, and fruit stands. Some farmers also do the
shipping to consignees or do the distribution in Manila or Cebu. Shippers from
Cotabato prefer the ports of CDO, Davao and General Santos.

11
The VCA for Lakatan states that globally, Philippines is the only producer of
Lakatan Banana. For region, its production totaled to 223,527 MT in 2015 which
comprised 27% of Mindanao’s total Lakatan production. Top producer of Lakatan
in the region in 2015 as per statistics from PSA was followed by.

Remarkably, the proposed Sibawan FMR will support all segments of the
value chain considering the vitality of road accessibility not only in the delivery or
transport of farm inputs and outputs, but as well as in going to the farm areas for
the conduct of agricultural activities, up to the production, consolidation and
marketing of products. With the farm-to-market road project, minimized
agricultural losses especially for banana commodity is anticipated given the
improved road conditions.

ii. E-VSA Maps and Statistics

 Banana(Lakatan) Production

Most of the Lakatan Banana plantations in the Province of are of small-


scale and owned by smallholder farmers. Traditionally, banana is grown as a
perennial crop where the plant is allowed to produce continuous shoots from a
subterranean stem (Lakatan VCA). However, there are key factors that prevent
farmer groups and associations in the locality from engaging into consolidated
marketing or in scaling up their marketing activities. This includes lack of
improved and accessible road infrastructure for the easy transport of productsas
well as of farm inputs.

Specific to the project, Barangay Sibawan was determined as a prime


choice to construct the proposed farm-to-market road considering the poor road
conditions in the area, the number of hectares planted with banana commodity,
the number of farmers, and the noted poverty incidence within the project’s road
influence area. RIA of the proposed FMR also covers an area of 2.5 kilometers in
perpendicular, and it does not overlap with any existing road. Hence, the great
need for upgrading and construction of farm-to-market road in Barangay
Sibawan.

12
The said proposed project is in lined with the province’s direction for
Lakatan banana which is geared towards bigger scale production considering that
most lakatan production in the province is by smallholder farmer. As compared to
cardava, lakatanpost harvest activities is more stringent as poor transport
facilities could degrade the quality of the harvested lakatan fruits.

Since lakatan banana is gearing towards the export market, quality is a


must for production. With this, a comprehensive production support shall be in
placed to make the Lakatan Banana Industry sustainable in the Province of
Cotabato, viz:

1. Increased availability and access to quality tissue cultured planting materials;


2. Increased availability and use of organic inputs including improved
fertilizer/input management and application;
3. Reliable year-round access of growers to non-contaminated water and
improved support in set-up of small scale irrigation facilities;
4. Improved bio-security management and ability to control and manage BBTV,
Fusarium wilt, and other biotic constraints;
5. Establishment of banana zones and organization and strengthening of
Banana Cooperatives;
6. Farm-to-market roads of good condition in Lakatan producing areas and
large-scale cardava areas;
7. Efficient transport infrastructure;
8. Access to postharvest facilities and refrigerated vans; and
9. Opening of new markets for dessert and cooking banana.

13
The following table shows the overall suitability of Lakatan banana commodity and its corresponding priority in terms of municipality in
Cotabato Province. It presents the new ranking of municipalities taking into consideration the added four parameters on: a.) Number of Farmers
Producing Lakatan, b.) Lakatan Production Area, c.) Volume of Lakatan Production, and d.) Small Area Poverty Incidence.

iii. Commodity Profile

 Banana (Lakatan)

Lakatan banana is the most popular dessert banana grown for the domestic
market with Mindanao regions among the largest producers. The wide range of agro-
ecological zones in Cotabato which the crop can be cultivated makes it an income
source for farmers as it is also grown as part of multiple cropping systems. In
Cotabato, Lakatan produces fruit year-round which contribute to its importance as a
source of income among small farmers.

Lakatan grows best and produce high yields in areas with well distributed rain
fall and no strong winds. Optimum growth is attained when monthly rainfall is 200-
220 mm. In cooler climate, the crop duration is extended and bunches are smaller.
When planted to elevations of more than 900 meters above sea level, ripening period
is 3 to 5 weeks more compared with those grown at lower elevations. It is said that
highland bananas such as those being grown in Bukidnon are sweeter than those
grown in the lowland.

The fruit matures at 80–90 days from shooting. The gestation period is from 12
to 15 months. It grows to a height of five to nine feet. Each bunch has 10-12 hands
with 12-20 fingers. The size of each finger ranges from 10 to 20 cm in length and 2.0 to
2.5 cm in diameter.

Lakatan has a thick peel that is green when unripe and yellow-orange when
ripe, which is associated with high Vitamin A content. Its thick peel makes it less
vulnerable to damage during handling and transport. It is believed that Lakatan
bananas have the highest beta carotene content in the banana family.

According to the Farmers’ Handbook on Introduced and Local Banana


Cultivars in the Philippines written by Biodiversity International for the Bureau of
Agricultural Research, the most widely grown Lakatan accession in the Philippines
both in smallholder and commercial farms is the Lakatan Davao. This Lakatan
accession is being distributed by commercial tissue-culture laboratories in Davao.

Lakatan banana is classified based on size and quality. Minimum requirement


irrespective of class and size according to the Philippine National Standards are the
following: (i) mature; (ii) whole (finger as the reference); (iii) firm; sound (fit for
consumption); (iv) clean, practically free of any visible foreign matter; (v) preferably
free of bruises and blemishes; (vi) preferably free of pests; (vii) preferably free of
damage caused by pests; (viii) free of abnormal external moisture, excluding
condensation; (ix) free of any foreign smell and/or taste; and (x) with flower
remnants removed. Size is determined either by length or diameter. The length is
measured based on the middle finger in the outer row from the blossom end to the
base of the pedicel where the edible flesh ends and maximum diameter of the
equatorial section of the fruit. The reference fruit for measurement of the length and
grade is: (i) for hand, the median finger on the outer row of the hand; and (ii) for
clusters, the finger next to the cut section of the hand, on the outer row of the

The above Philippine National Standards for Banana is translated by traders


into three major classifications presented in Table 5, namely: Class A, Class B, and
Class C. These classifications integrate both size and quality as presented in Tables 3
and 4. Size though is the main point of reference but fruits should meet the minimum
requirements indicated in the PNS/BAFPS 64:2008.

Table 5. Classification of Lakatan Banana as Practiced by Industry

Class Description
Class A Extra Class and large-sized fruits
Class B Class I and medium-sized fruits
Class C Class II and small-sized fruits
Source: KII

Current practice in North Cotabato follows the classification as presented in


the table above. Most assemblers however classify Class C as “rejects” and ends up
in local fruit stalls which is sold per kilo.

As per Summary of Priority Constraints/Opportunities and Interventions cited


in the Provincial Commodities Investment Plan of Cotabato Province CY 2020-2022,
Concreting of Sibawan FMR is identified as one of the potential interventions
(infrastructure) that is deemed to help address the key gap or constraint in the value
chain development, specifically in terms of poor farm to market roads. Hence, this
project.

iv. Enterprises to be Supported by the Sub-Project

Provision of access roads in production areas as well as to areas with potential


to banana production would greatly support theindustry, thus, a greater number of
stakeholders will be benefited. To mention, it will serve to supply commodity needs
of targetbanana markets, including among others the Mua-an Farmers Multi-Purpose
Cooperative (MFMPC) which has been a recipient of PRDP’s i-REAP project entitled,
“Enhancement, Consolidation and Marketing of Fresh Lakatan Banana.”

With the above said project, the cooperative was able to receive
Php900,000.00 trading capital in year 2018; Php100,000.00 worth of plastic crates in
2019; and Php6,098,900.00 for the purchase of three (3) hauling trucks in 2020. Two
(2) of these hauling trucks are being used by the cooperative to consolidate products
from the various barangays in , Hence, at
19 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR
present, the cooperative can already supply at least 10 tons of banana lakatan per
week which is being marketed to Manila and Cebu.

Other enterprises venturing in banana production which will also be


supported by the proposed sub-project is the Banana Growers Association City; and
the Liberty Fruits Company - a banana chips processing facility located at Barangay
Mua-an, City. Aside from these, all other agricultural industries will also be supported
by the proposed project.Furthermore, the tourism sector shall also be supported
with the project as it will provide improved road network connecting the various
tourism sites not only locally, but also with the neighboring Municipality of .

II. THE SUB-PROJECT

i. LOCATION

a. Geographic Boundaries

Specific on the location of the proposedSibawan farm-to-market road project,


its Road Influence Areas (RIA) would include BarangaySibawan and parts of Barangay
Mua-an and Mateo. Strategically located at the northernmost part of the city, the
barangay is bounded on the north by the Municipality of on the east by Barangay
Mua-an, on the west by Barangays Mateo and Marbel, and on the south by Barangay
Luvimin.

The road section which is proposed for concreting also connects two of the
national roads within the city’s vicinity, the Road and Ilomavis Tourist Road.

21 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


b. Relative Distance to Growth and Commercial Centers

Sibawan FMR’s relative distance to Barangay Poblacion where the city’s


Central Business District and most markets are located is 6.74 kilometers. On the
other hand, other trading centers which will also be supported by the project have a
distance from the proposedfarm-to-market road as follows:

1) Sub-project area to Mua-an MPC located at Brgy. Manongol (7.26 km)


2) Sub-project area to Liberty Fruits located at Brgy. Mua-an (1.88 km)
3) Sub-project area to Rubber Plant at Barangays Katipunan and Mateo
(15.1 km and 1.54 km respectively)
4)
5)

On the other end, the project will almost connect to Ilomavis Tourist Road
which will lead to the various tourism destinations in the locality such as the Lake
Agco, Paniki Eco-River Park, Mt. Apo Mandangan Trail and other sprouting agro-
tourism industries in the locality. Both are developing agro-tourism areas in the
region, hence the project is deemed supportive of this pursuit.

c. Topography

Barangay Sibawan is situated in a terrain classified as gently sloping to


undulating, or a slope that varies from 3% to 8%. This means that the area is suitable
for development provided that minor engineering measures will be emplaced.

For the road section which is being proposed for concreting, its elevation is
increasing going towards Barangay Mua-an or to the Southwest (SW) from 310m to
390m above sea level.

iii. MAJOR ECONOMY AND LAND USE

City is considered as a commercial and trading hub of Central Mindanao. It


plays a pivotal role in the economic development of the province as well as in its
adjacent areas. As per land use, the city is primarily an agricultural area with
21,822.52hectares or 64.17% of its total land area that is devoted to agricultural use. In
fact, supporting the agriculture sector is the presence of agricultural trading centers
for the buying and selling of various agricultural products. The same way, major
economy and land use within the road influence area of the proposed road
development is also mainly agricultural.

Other sectors which also contribute to local economy include the presence of
business and commercial establishments in the city which are mostly concentrated
and evident in the Poblacion area (Central Business District). Commercial activities
such as financial institutions (banks, pawnshops and lending investors); services like
hospitals, photo studios, spa, computer trading, hardware, gasoline stations, dry
goods stores, lodging houses, food chains, malls, hotels, appliance centers and many
others are also prevalent in the city especially located along its major roads.

Among the significant investments in the city is the Mt. Apo Geothermal
Power Plant of the Philippine National Oil Company – Energy Development
Corporation (PNOC-EDC), now Energy Development Corporation (EDC) generating
104 megawatts of electricity that powers industrial plants in Mindanao. The presence
of the City Integrated Transport Station located at Alim Street, City is also a great
door in widening business opportunities in the city.

iv. ON-FARM DATA – AGRICULTURAL AREA AND CROPS PLANTED,


LIVESTOCK AND FISHERIES

Agriculture remains as the most predominant sector in the locality attributed


to its natural endowments which isfavorable to agricultural production. It ranges
from crop, livestock, poultry and forest tree production. Among the major growth
areas for agriculture and agro-industrial development in the city include Barangays

27 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


Sibawan, Mua-an and Mateo which are classified as among the agricultural areas in
ity. Major commodities in these barangays are banana (lacatan and Cavendish),
coconut, rubber, banana, and mangosteen.

v. OFF-FARM DATA – PROCESSING AND MARKETING INDUSTRY OF AGRI-


FISHERY PRODUCTS

Unlike in the Cavendish banana industry where agrarian reform beneficiaries


collectively enter into contract growing arrangement with multinationals, Lakatan
farmers generally operate as individual farms. The very small-scale Lakatan banana
producers offer their fruits just outside the homes or have some of their family
members usually the women of the household to sell them to neighbors, offices,
hospitals, and food establishments within their locality.

There are also a few cooperatives in Cotabato Province engaged in collective


marketing such as the Banana Farmers Association and the Mua-An Farmers
Producers Cooperative (MFPC). The MFPC consolidates and trades Lakatan from
growers in .

The major banana buyers at the farm level are the agents and assembler-
shippers. The agents purchase bananas in small lots and sell these to
consolidators/shippers. Shippers buy and gather many green Lakatan bananas from
farmers and agents until they reach at least 50 crates (or about 1,750 kilos) in their
respective collection centers where these may stay from one to three days.
Consolidators face the risk of postharvest losses, particularly if they do not own the
right facilities to store the bananas during the gathering period.

The shippers/consolidators deal not just with Lakatan but also with cardaba
and latundan. Consolidators deliver the bananas either via sea or land transport.
Volume is essential to cover transportation costs and for consolidators to still make a
profit. Bananas transported via sea are loaded into container vans following a pattern
of loading which approximates a tight pack and is believed to minimize vibration in
transit. In a few of the Lakatan consolidators/shippers are cooperatives.

vi. POVERTY INCIDENCE

Proportion of households with income below the poverty threshold in City


was estimated at 14,602 over the total number of households or 46.64% poverty
incidence. Poverty threshold pertains to the minimum amount needed by each
household to be able to provide for its basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter.

Based on the Community Based Monitoring System 2016 data, poverty


thresholds are gauges at 20,438 for rural barangays and 21,350 for the urban
barangays. Below is a table for the poverty incidence of the barangays within the
Road Influence Areas of the proposed farm-to-market road project.

III. THE SUB-PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The subproject generally aims to propel economic growth and development in


the target areas especially among farming communities by increasing agricultural
productivity and profitability through improved road network.

Specifically, the subproject intends to attain the following:

1. Pave 3.34 kilometers of Sibawan farm-to-market road to provide better road


access for agricultural and tourism areas.

2. Reduce passenger transportation cost by at least 15%, from Php65.00 (WOP) to


Php55.00 (WP). Commented [MOU6]: Based on validation 50 pesos is the
transportation cost from brgy to market. If u used the average for 3
barangays, please provide computation

IV. PROJECT FEASIBILITY INDICATORS

A. MARKET ANALYSIS/ DEMAND SUPPLY ANALYSIS

i. Supply Side

At present, the Sibawan FMR is a combination of gravel and concrete road


classification. Graveled road occupy the biggest portion of the barangay’s road
segment which measures 7.45 kilometers. There is also a concrete portion but only
accounted at 0.63 kilometers.

ii. Current Road Network

The whole road stretch of Sibawan FMR is classified as a barangay road. It is


also bounded on both ends by secondary national roads, viz: at the west section by
the -Magpet Road and at the east by the Ilomavis Tourist Road.

32 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


46.78%, which shall also include improved drainage (open concrete canal) and slope
protection thereby providing for the sustainability of the road development project.

iv. Desired Road Network Condition in the Project Influence Area vis-à-vis
Accessibility of the Road to Market Centers/Trading Points

The proposed road development will help improve transport efficiency of


agricultural products, lessen the transportation costs and reduce travel time from the
road influence areas to the market sites, and also will help improve the drainage
systems of the locality. The proposed subproject as a whole will bring about
economic opportunities and convenience to mobility of people within the road
influence area and the neighboring barangays as well.

v. Availability of Public Transport

Available modes of public transportation that are used by commuters in the


project area going to the market and/or other locations are motorcycle, habal-habal,
and tricycle. Common arrangement in terms of fare for passengers or hauling costs
for the transport of goods is usually charged per head or per sack of goods at an
approved fare rate in the locality. However, aside from these public transportation
modes, there are also private vehicles passing or using the road such as cargo trucks
and passenger cars/vans.

vi. Demand-Supply Analysis

The lack of adequate and improved road infrastructure is considered a limiting


factor for the socio-economic growth and development in any locality. Aside from
ease of travel, roads are also needed to support the agriculture sector, especially the
farmers who are in great need for the transportation of farming inputs, as well as
ofthefarm products or commodities going to the market centers.

At present, road condition of the Sibawan FMR is mostly graveled and is


deemed non-conducive for the transportation of agricultural products, specifically for
banana commodity as it may incur transportation losses for the said commodity
during its hauling. Hence, for these roads to be passable, constant rehabilitation of
the road section were done to support economic ventures in the area. At the end
view, the proposed concreting of Sibawan FMR would therefore address the need
for improved and accessible road network in the area, thereby supporting the
farmers and all other socio-economic sectors utilizing the Sibawan farm-to-market
road.

vii. Priority (Proposed) Road Segment out of the Demand

The road proposed for concreting is already existing and it serves as an access
road for the farmers of Barangays Sibawan, Mua-an and Mateo going to the various
trading centers in the locality, as well as to the neighboring municipalities of and .

33 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


With the project, travel time will take about 42 minutes to reach Barangay
Poblacion where most of the market centers are located. But once the road
development project is already implemented, it will be lessened t0 27 minutes, hence,
a time savings of 15 minutes.

viii. Projected Traffic Volume over the Priority Road Segment

Traffic Count Survey was conducted on December 2021 to determine the


existing and projected traffic volume within the road segment once the project is
already approved and implemented. Results showed that the normal volume of
traffic without project scenario was: motorcycle (71), tricycle (20), cars/vans (13), and
trucks (10).

On the other hand, with project scenario, the volume of traffic is expected to
increase year by year at a growth rate of 4%. By the end of the planning period, or at
20th year upon project implementation, traffic volume is projected to increase as
follows: motorcycle (150), tricycle (42), cars/vans (32), and trucks (21).

The expected increase in the volume of traffic will be attributed to the


enhanced economic activities within the road influence area due to improved rural
access road, thus subsequent increase in the volume of agricultural products and
inputs being hauled or transported. Due to the improvement, vehicles will have more
trips per day because of the ease and comfort in traveling.

B. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

i. Design Analysis of Proposed Works

Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) will have a total length of 3.34
kilometers, PCCP width of 5 meters, PCCP thickness of 200mm, shoulder width of 1.50
meters both sides, and formation width of 10 meters.

The project will start at Sta. 0+000 at Barangay Sibawan and will end at Sta.
3+340of the same barangay. The existing road traverses a gently sloping to
undulating terrain with a maximum grade line of (+) or (-) 3%. A total of 45 pieces
RCPC (ranging from 36 – 48 inches diameter) shall also be used for the project.
Drainage and slope protection on the other hand shall cover 1011 ln.m and 30 ln.m.
respectively.

ii. Proposed Sources and Location of Quarries, Borrow Pits and


Construction Materials

River mix filling materials will be sourced from Barangay San Roque which is
24 kilometers away from the project site. On the other hand, construction materials
will be procured from Poblacion which is a 42-minute travel to the project site.
Materials will be transported to the project site via concrete National Highway and by

D. SOCIAL ANALYSIS

The proposed farm-to-market road in Barangay Sibawan is expected to


contribute significantly to the socio-economic development within its Road Influence
Areas. However, the social situation of the area needs to be considered for the
success of the planning and implementation of the said project. With this,
consultation meetings were conducted with the Barangay Government of Sibawan,
the lot owners of the affected areas, and the IP households within the barangay.

i. Sub-Project Beneficiaries

The proposed sub-project will mainly benefit the residents of Barangays


Sibawan, Mua-an and Mateo. Particularly, the project will help farming families and
communities in transporting their produce and farm inputs. Below is a table showing
the respective population of the target barangays:

Table 13. Number of households, farming households, and total population of


Barangays Sibawan, Mua-an and Mateo.
Barangay No. of Total Population No. of farming
households households
IP Non-IP Total

Sibawan 322 408 1,202 1,610 220

Mua-an 225 225 899 1,124 187

Mateo 94 125 345 470 37

It should be noted though that the benefits of this farm-to-market road is not
limited to these barangays considering that it will connect Road and the Ilomavis
Tourist Road. Once concreted, there will be a significant decrease in the travel time
from Barangays Ginatilan, Meohao, Mua-an, and Ilomavis going to the Barangays of
Mateo, Sibawan, and to the Municipality of . With this, the Sibawan FMR is set to
have a significant economic impact to City in general.

40 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


ii. Indigenous Cultural Community/Indigenous Peoples (ICC/IP)

According to the data of the City LGU, the proposed road is neither inside nor
traverses an ancestral domain. However, it was recorded that there are members of
the IP Community living in Barangays Sibawan, Mua-an and Mateo. There are 89
male and 91 female IP Community members living in the said barangays but are not
located along the road proposed for development. Recognizing the Indigenous
Cultural Community/Indigenous Peoples (ICC/IPs) in the area, the city and barangay
government of Sibawan conducted consultation meeting with the group to inform
them regarding the project and its benefits to the community.

iii. Site and Right-of-Way Acquisition

To successfully proceed with the proposal, it is pivotal to acquire the


necessary permits and ensure the road right-of-way in the area. With that, the BLGU
of Sibawan conducted consultation meetings with the 50 lot owners affected by the
proposed project. After which, all of them have signed and submitted their
respective duly notarized Deed of Donation or Waiver of Quit Claim as form of
support for the project.

iv. Damage to Standing Crops, Houses and/or Properties

Crops

Though the road proposed for concreting is already an existing road, minimal
damage is still anticipated due to the existing standing crops located within the 10-
meter width requirement of the project. As per assessment, a total of 38 standing
crops will be affected to include 30 coconut trees, 1 gemelina, and 6 mahoganies.
Most of these crops are in within the road right-of-way. Below is the distribution of
these crops per crop type.

Table 14. Identified crops to be affected by the proposed Sub-project.


Barangay Coconut Gemelina Mahogany Total

Sibawan 30 2 6 38

During the Barangay Council Meeting attended by the lot owners, they
expressed their willingness to cooperate with the requirements of the project, as
such, provision of the right-of-way to include cutting of trees without fees. Permits
for the cutting of trees will be secured by the City LGU from the appropriate
agencies.

41 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


Houses and other Properties

Field assessment showed that there will be damages to private properties of


those living within the area covered by the FMR. Structures that will be affected
include electrical posts, fence, portions of the stores, and gates.

Despite these, the lot owners still expressed their support to the project. For
the affected electrical posts, the local electricity provider Cotabato Electric
Cooperative (COTELCO) will be informed and requested to act on the transfer of the
said posts. The estimated cost of the transfer per electric post is at Php50,000.00 Commented [MOU14]: 50, 000 x 7 = 350, 000 versus efa is

which will be funded by the City LGU. Furthermore, if in case there will be water lines
that will also be affected during construction, the Metro Water District (MKWD) shall
also be requested for its transfer or relocation.

v. Physical Displacement of Persons

The proposed sub-project will not cause physical displacement of persons


living within the road influence area.

vi. Economic Displacement of Persons

Though there were portions of some stores that will be affected by the
project, there will be no economic displacement of person. Notably, possible
damage to structures is only minimal such as canopy of the stores.

vii. Grievance Redress Mechanism

Following the issuance of Executive Order No. 009, Series of 2018 (see
Annex), the Philippine Rural Development Program Grievance Redress Mechanism
(GRM) Committee was reconstituted to ensure the quality of performance of the
project in all of its stages. Serving as an oversight committee, the GRM Committee
looks at the feedback of the beneficiaries in order to facilitate the resolution of any

42 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


complains, and project-related issues and concerns. At the same time, the creation
of the GRM Committee in the City level also translates to the creation of a similar
committee in Barangay Sibawan. The barangay level GRM Committee immediately
addresses the issues and concerns that can be resolved within their level.

E. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

i. Natural Habitat

The area traversed by the proposed FMR is not within the identified Protected
Areas in City. Additionally, no habitat of critical wildlife will be affected by the said
project. With this, the project will not cause any disturbance to critical fauna and
flora.

ii. Physical Cultural Resources

No cultural heritage or structures will be affected by the said project.


Additionally, there are no existing landmarks, monuments, and infrastructure that
are of historical significance within Barangay Sibawan.

iii. Terrain, Soil Types and Rainfall

Terrain

Barangay Sibawan is situated in a terrain classified as gently sloping to


undulating, or a slope that varies from 3% to 8%. For the road section which is being
proposed for concreting, its elevation is increasing going towards Barangay Mua-an
or to the Southwest (SW) from 310m to 390m above sea level.

Soil Type

Soil found in the road influence area of Barangay Sibawan is identified as


Kilada sandy clay loam soil.

Rainfall

The climate of the city generally falls under the Type III classification. Under
this classification, the city is characterized by the absence of a pronounced maximum
rain period and with one to three months of the dry season either during the period
of December to February or from March to May. In some instances, the city also
exhibits a climate type similar to Type 1 because of its short dry season. Data shows
that rainfall ranges from 2.71 inches during summer to 12.09 inches during July. The
average annual rainfall of the city is at 7.07 inches.

43 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


iv. Hazard/Risk Assessment

Despite significant number of hectarage of the city at risk to both flooding


and landslide, the road influenced areas are barely affected by such disasters. The
data from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau shows that out of the 968.77 hectares
of the road influence area, only 61.075 hectares are at moderate and high risk to
flood, while 50.25 hectares are at moderate and high risk to landslides. Additionally, it
should be noted that there are no incidence of flood or landslides that occurred
within the area.

Table 16. Area in hectares of moderately and highly at risk to flood and landslides
within the RIA
Hazard Moderate Risk High Risk

Flood 2.155 58.920

Landslide 21.399 28.849

v. Integrated Pest Management/ DA KASAKALIKASAN

The City Agriculture Office thru the Department of Agriculture Regional Field
Unit Xll has already undergone training on Integrated Pest Management, Farmers
Field Schools (IPM-FFS) or Kasaganaan ng Sakahan at Kalikasan (KASAKALIKASAN).
The Agricultural Technicians (AT) and the farmer beneficiaries have already
performed series of actual activities on the field. This aims further to reduce risk
pesticide-induced pest outbreak, health hazard to farmers and consumers and
environmental damage, training on pesticide use, handling and storage, raise and
stabilize farm incomes and strengthen farmer organizations and farmers managerial
capability.

Through the massive and cohesive information, series of training and


seminars conducted to the farmers of the entire municipality, our farmers adopted
the program IPM- KASAKALIKASAN, thus making tough decision makers. There is no
rampant or heavy users of chemical-pesticides when there is occurrence or pests
infestation in the locality since our farmers are technically equipped, know the
effects of chemicals to human health and disastrous to our environment and the
importance of the natural enemies which makes ecologically balance in nature. They
are capable to manage the insect pests and diseases with their knowledge acquired
and assistance through the technical staff of the City Agriculture Office.

44 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


vi. Status of Environmental Clearances

As of this writing, the City Government have already requested the


Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management
Bureau XII (DENR-EMB XII) for the issuance of Environmental Clearance Certificate
(ECC) in support to the proposed farm-to-market road project. Along with the
request, the city has complied with the requirements for the issuance of the said
document.

Furthermore, other permits required for the project were also requested from
appropriate agencies such as the DENR and Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) for
the Permit to Cut, and the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) for the
Certificate of Non-Overlap (CNC).

F. SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

The sub-project will consider the social and environmental effects that it will
have on the community. To reduce the possible environmental impacts of the
project, social and environmental safeguards will be ensured. First, during the project
implementation, provision for temporary waste disposal facilities will be done to
provide proper space for the waste that will be produced; therefore limiting the litter
generated during the course of the construction. Second, to ensure the safety of the
community members especially those living near the FMR, the construction of the
project will also entail the establishment of a drainage system. This will help lower
the risk of the infrastructure to floods. Social measures will also be accounted. During
the program implementation, safety of the workers and public will be
considered.This will be done by enforcing the standard construction safety protocols
and by establishing precautionary measures including provision of signages and
pertinent markers at conspicuous places of the project site.

1) Quarry Site - The proposed quarry site is located at Barangay San Roque, City.
It is 24 kilometers away from the road project. The available quarry materials
are item 104and item 201 for embankment. The hauling of quarry materials will
be the responsibility of the contractor, especially to mitigate or repair the
disturbance/impairment of the road access during the Implementation of the
projects.

2) Batching Plants - Since the batching plant is movable and won’t require
construction of permanent structure, it is deemed not to cause any harm to
the populace. This will also be stationed in a non-populated area,
approximately less than 1 kilometer (km) from the project site.

a) Site Consideration - the batching plants will be located in area where it will
not pose hazard to the environment and to the community.

45 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


b) Water Quality - Improper disposal of wastewater from the batching plant
could harm the environment. Thus, wastewater of batching plant will not
be directly discharged into the surface water.

c) Air Quality - Dust from cement and sand aggregates are possible air
pollutants. To avoid or substantially reduce dust emissions that could pose
social and environmental impacts, contractors are advised to keep sand
and aggregates wet, to cover trucks with suitable materials in the delivery
of cement or sand aggregates and to immediately clean up any spills.

d) Noise Emission - Noise emitted from concrete batching plants must be


managed carefully, the same as other discharges from the site as noise is
also a form of pollution that if not properly handled may cause conflict
between contractors and the neighboring community. Thus to avoid noise
nuisance in the operation of batching plant, it is advised to enclose
equipment to avoid noise at the source and to avoid working during late
hours in the evening.

e) Solid Waste - Waste concrete, empty cement bags, plastic bags, cans and
others are the possible solid waste pollutants that may be generated from
the batching plant. To minimize solid waste generation, a typical
reuse/recycle approach must be observed in the site. A Material Recovery
Facility shall be established in the site for proper waste disposal and
segregation.

3) Soil Disposal Area/Dumping Site

The proposed location for the soil disposal area is located atPurok 6, Barangay
Sibawan, City. In the selection of the site, it will be ensured that the criteria and
operations guidelinesare strictly complied.

for the implementation of the project is already available. In support, the proposed
concreting of Sibawan FMR is also included in the city’s Annual Investment Program
(AIP) for CY 2022. Attached in the annexes is a copy of the above said certification. Commented [MOU16]: Show certification.

H. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION

1. Economic Benefits

With the project, it is deemed to pose economic benefits in terms of the


following: 1) Vehicle Operating Cost Savings,2) Savings in Hauling Output or Produce
Marketed, 3) Savings in Input Hauling, 4) Reduction in Post-Harvest Losses, and 5)
Savings in Travel Time of Commuters. In detail, these benefits are derived through
the processes which are also discussed below.

Vehicle Operating Cost Savings. This was calculated from the projected average
annual daily traffic data multiplied to the vehicle operating cost difference (changes
in VOC, with and without project scenarios) and the actual road length.

Savings in Hauling Output or Produce Marketed. For this benefit, we used the
difference between the cost of manual hauling and the projected transport fare
using the improved road, multiplied by the travelled road length and the amount of
produce that is to be marketed, less that portion of the produce saved for
consumption and production.

Savings in Input Hauling. Meanwhile, savings in input hauling could be derived


by identifying the inputs for each crop within the influence area and the hauling cost
savings which was already computed.

48 Feasibility Study on the Concreting Mua-an FMR


Reduction in Post-Harvest Losses. The implementation of the subproject would
result to reduction of post-harvest losses. This was calculated by multiplying the total
volume of harvest marketed for all the crops within the influence area, by the market
price of the crops and the estimated reduction in post-harvest losses.

Savings in Travel Time of Commuters. The last benefit of the subproject


implementation is the savings in the travel time of commuters. With the project,
travel time of the commuters within the area would be reduced from 35 minutes to
22 minutes after subproject implementation.

a. Production Level within the Direct Road Influence Area

Agricultural production areas which will be served by the proposed concreting


of Sibawan FMR includes coconut, rubber, banana (lakatan), banana (cavendish), and
mangosteen areas in the barangays of Sibawan, Mua-an and Mateo. It can be noted
that the annual production for these commodities are pegged at 3000kg/ha, 3000
kg/ha, 18000 kg/ha, 36000 kg/ha and 8,000 kg/ha respectively.

These production areas also have shifting cultivation or intercropping such as


corn, cacao, dragon fruit, and banan-lakatan since these crops may be planted with
coconut as an additional source of income. The proposed concreting of the road is
very beneficial to the farmers because it will provide accessibility for the transport of
products to the markets with lowest fare.

b. Vehicle Operating Cost Savings

The table below depicts the existing vehicular traffic within the proposed road
segment for concreting based on the Traffic Count Survey Results highlighting the
existing mode of transport operating in the area, passenger occupancy/average load
by vehicle type, average daily trips, and observed transport fares for passenger
and/or cargo.

Hence, with the completion of the road concreting project and the
subsequent improvement of the road conditions, it is deemed to lead to the increase
in number of vehicles passing through the Sibawan FMR. The table below shows the
projection for the vehicular traffic which is pegged at 4% growth rate per year. In the
table, year 1 (existing vehicular traffic) and year 20 (projected vehicular traffic) are
shown.

ii. Other Considerations in the Computation of VOC Savings

Other considerations in the computation of VOC savings include the length


and Vehicle Operating Cost difference. Road length used in the computation of VOC
savings is the total length of the proposed Sibawan FMR which is 3.34 kilometers. On
the other hand, noted VOC difference as follows:

Without the project, transportation/hauling cost of agricultural products for


all types of commodity to include farm inputs and outputs via carabao cart or manual
hauling is Php15.00/sack and for motorized vehicle at Php50.00/sack, depending on
place of origin and destination (WOP). But once the project is already implemented,
there is an expected reduction in transport costs by at least 15%, or lowered from
Php65.00 – Php55.00/sack summing both carabao cart/manual hauling and motorized
vehicle (WP).

7. Results of the Economic Analysis Commented [MOU29]: Revise if necessary.

The economic costs and benefits of the project as well as its net incremental
benefits are shown in the Economic Cost-Benefit Flow (see Annexes). The results
clearly showed that the project would give economic benefits not only within the
road influence area throughout its 20-year project life, but also to the general
development of the locality.

Computed Economic Net Present Value (ENPV)of the sub-project is


Php33,368,000.00. This implies that the proposed farm-to-market road gives positive
return to the community. Therefore, the project is viable.

On the other hand, its Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR) showed an
impressive result of 17.8%. With these figures, it is found out that the farm-to-market
road project is desirable. The higher the economic rate of return the higher the rate
of growth a project is expected to generate.

Lastly, the Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) also posted high result at 1.63. This
ishigher than 1, therefore the project is advantageous. Hence, the project is desirable
and feasible for implementation.

Given these results, this would mean that from the economic point of view
that the project would provide economic benefits to the beneficiaries within the road
influence areas of Sibawan, Mua-an and Mateo. Aside from this, the city will also gain
from this project as it will also spur economic activities in the area.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the study, the financial computations generated positive results and
the project has been found to be feasible from marketing, technical, economic and
operational viewpoint.

It is therefore recommended that the subproject will be implemented, but


monitoring and supervision during the preparation, planning and implementation of
the subproject must be strictly observed to avoid delay of benefits which will affect
the viability of the project.
