Foreword
This Eastern Visayas Updated Regional Development Investment Program (RDIP) 2014-2016 is a
companion document of the Eastern Visayas Updated Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2014-2016. As it
is, the RDP is just a framework plan, but the clamor for more specicity of the RDP is addressed by this
RDIP. The main RDP document embodies broad strokes on where the region wants to go as described in
the stated development vision, goals and objecves, as well as general strategies on how to get there.This RDIP translates those strategies into specic programs, projects and acvies (PPAs) in order to
realize the vision, goals and objecves. The RDIP is an essenal document as it serves as a guide for
implemenng enes to do what is necessary to put the RDP into a living document.
The set of PPAs is the minimum gamut of intervenons that need to be implemented to aain the
desired results or targets spelled out in the other companion of the Updated RDP, which is the Updated
Results Matrices (RM) 2014-2016. As such, it captures the list of the major PPAs for implementaon in
the remaining half of the Plan period (2014-2016) and the corresponding investment requirements and
funding sources.
The total public investment requirement of Php94.546 billion pegged in this RDIP wasprogrammed before the occurrence of Super Typhoon Yolanda on November 8, 2013. In the light of the
devastaon wrought by the disaster, the priories set in this document and the suciency of the
investments may call for certain adjustments. Although priories in investments will sll be within the
internaonal and naonal framework, at the regional level, investments will have to shi to recovery and
rehabilitaon as provided for in the SULHOG: Eastern Visayas Yolanda Reconstrucon Plan. Likewise, the
inux of investments from internaonal and naonal agencies would greatly aect the whole investment
scenario in the region.
Along with the formulaon of the Updated RDP and RM, this RDIP was mandated by
Memorandum Circular No. 43 issued by the President on February 4, 2014, which directed the midterm
updang of the 2011-
2016 Philippine Development Plan (PDP), the Results Matrices (RMs), and the PublicInvestment Program (PIP). Accordingly, on February 7, 2013 the Regional Development Council (RDC) VIII
issued RDC Resoluon No. 6, series 2013 approving the guidelines on the updang of the Eastern Visayas
Regional Development Plan (RDP). Thereon, planning task forces were created and a series of consultave
workshops among government and private stakeholders was conducted to produce the Updated RDP,
RM, and RDIP. By August 23, 2013, the RDC VIII passed Resoluon No. 44, series 2013, approving the RDP
and the RDIP.
Sincere appreciaon and thanks are hereby extended to all those who have provided valuable
inputs in pung together this document. Your me and eorts will denitely nd way into the
aainment of our common goal of aaining inclusive growth.

Several priories were considered in the formulaon of this Eastern Visayas Updated RDIP. The
idencaon of the programs, projects, and acvies for implementaon in 2014 to 2016 is anchored on
three sets of priories at the internaonal, naonal and regional levels.
The rst set involves internaonal commitments to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The second set involves the regions contribuon to His Excellency President Benigno S. Aquino IIIs Social
Contract with the Filipino People. The third set covers intervenons necessary to support the Eastern
Visayas regional thrusts on agri-business, tourism, and ICT as embodied in the Updated RDP.
Specically, these are on:

Execuve Summary
Introducon
This Eastern Visayas Regional Development Investment Program (RDIP) 2014-2016 is an
accompanying document of the Updated Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2014-2016 and the Updated
Results Matrices (RM) 2014-2016. This spells out the needed programs, projects and acvies (PPAs) that
concreze the broad strategies spelled out in the RDP, which are envisaged to lead to the aainment of
targets reected in the RM. The PPAs are presented here in such a way that the corresponding
investment requirements and fund sources are also specied. Said PPAs all in all have a total investment
requirement of PhP93.3 billion.
This RDIP is a product of a consultave process involving government and private stakeholders in
the region. A series of workshops had been conducted by mul-sectoral and mul-level planning groups,
during which inputs to this document had been generated. The nal RDIP was subsequently approved by
the Regional Development Council VIII.
The preparaon of this RDIP adopted a strategic public investment programming approach. It
veered away from the tradional sectoral planning. It was guided by the principles of parcipaon,
harmonizaon, and implementability. It has also considered results-based planning, which further
ushered the need to improve investment programming. This has resulted to program -based investment
programming, a deviaon from the convenonal sector- and project-based programming. In certain
instances though as manifested in some of the chapters, project-based could not be avoided.
The updang of the RDIP was also anchored on internaonal, naonal and regional priories to
ensure coherence and support thereto. The countrys commitment to the MDGs, the Presidents Social
Contract with the Filipino People, and the Updated RDP provided the overall development direcons in
the preparaon of this investment program. It is the rst me that theRDIP reects an analysis of how the PPAs support these development
priories in terms of programs and projects. Likewise, the equally
signicant agency-proposed budgets reviewed and endorsed by the
RDC VIII were considered in the RDIP formulaon. The acve
parcipaon of the private sector provided value-added to this
document, ensuring that private concerns are also addressed.
Support to Development Investment Priories
The esmated PhP93.3 billion naonal governmentinvestments are programmed to support the countrys internaonal
commitments to the MDG, ve KRAs of the present administraon,
and the three development thrusts of the region. A total of 195
priority programs and projects are lined-up to be implemented for the
next three years.
Internaonally, the programs and projects will support the
aainment of eight MDG goals to: 1) eradicate extreme poverty and
hunger; 2) achieve universal primary educaon; 3) promote gender
equality and empowerment of women; 4) reduce child mortality; 5)Improve maternal health; 6) combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other
diseases; 7) ensure environmental sustainability; and 8) develop a
global partnership for development.

At the naonal level, the RDIP will support the ve priority KRAs of the naonal government in promong
1) transparent, accountable, and parcipatory governance; 2) poverty reducon and empowerment of
the poor and vulnerable 3) rapid, inclusive, and sustained economic growth, 4) just and lasng peace and
the rule of law, and 5) integrity of the environment and climate change. Consistent with the 2014-2016
PDP, this RDIP will push for economic growth and poverty reducon through increased producvity,
employment and family income.
Corollary to the regions thrusts, the PPAs listed here will support Eastern Visayas vision ofbecoming an agri-business and ICT leader and a tourism haven.
Investments support these main chapters of the RDP: 1) Progressive Macroeconomy; 2)
Compeve and Sustainable Agriculture and Fisheries; 3) Compeve Industry and Services; 4)
Accelerang Infrastructure Development, 5) Creang Producve Human Resources; 6) Good Governance
and the Rule of Law, 7) Peace and Security, and 8) Conservaon, Protecon and Rehabilitaon of the
Environment and Natural Resources.

Regional Development Framework
Investment Distribuon
The bulk of the esmated PhP93.3 billion public investments covers intervenons towards
accelerang infrastructure, consisng of 89% or roughly PhP84 billion. The rest (11%) of the investment
pie is shared by the other chapters. Of this 11% (PhP10.6 billion), 3% (P3.5 billion) is earmarked for
producve human resource development. Three priority development sectors more or less share more
than 2% each. These are on peace and security (PhP2.35 billion); compeve and sustainable agriculture
and sheries (PhP2.06 billion); and conservaon, protecon and rehabilitaon of the environment and
natural resources (PhP2.05 billion). Macroeconomy (PhP292.9 million), compeve industry and services
(PhP130.57 million), and good governance and the rule of law (PhP9.97 million) share less than 1% of the
remaining 2%. Table 1 shows the investment distribuon among the key priories of the RDP.
Annually, of the total PhP93.3 billion investment, 30% or PhP28.8 billion will be invested in 2014,
32% or PhP29.92 billion in 2015, and 38% or PhP35.84 billion in 2016.

Investment Trends
Although government investment trends vary among the eight chapters, generally, they will be
increasing over the three-year Plan period. Among the eight chapters, three has a total investment of
PhP8.6 billion and another three has a total of PhP7.9 billion, with increasing and errac trends,
respecvely. The two other chapters have a decreasing trend in investments.
For the next three years, the chapters on macroeconomy, accelerang infrastructure
development, and conservaon, protecon and rehabilitaon of the environment and natural resources
will have an increasing trend in investments. Meanwhile, a decreasing trend can be observed in the
chapters on compeve industry and services, and good governance and the rule of law. For compeve
and sustainable agriculture and sheries, producve human resource, and peace and security, the

Introducon
This secon of the Eastern Visayas RDIP lays out the nancial program for intervenons needed to
perk up the regions macroeconomy. The core programs and projects under this chapter are geared
towards achieving high and sustained economic growth, increasing employment, and reducing poverty
among populaon and families.
This is a new secon of the RDIP. Aer several planning terms, this is the rst me that an
exclusive secon on macroeconomy has been made an integral part of the RDIP, complete with the set of
intervenons and detailed informaon on the corresponding annual investment requirements.
Four core programs and projects are listed under the macroeconomic sector, which altogether
require a total funding of PhP292.9 million.
Development Investment Priories
The core programs, along with the specic projects and acvies, are in line with development
thrusts and priories at the internaonal, naonal and regional levels.
Four PPAs are programmed to address ve MDG goals. Four of these are in support of the goalsto eradicate extreme poverty and hunger and promote gender equality and empowerment of women.
One project is lined up to support the goal of reducing child mortality and improving maternal health.
Five PPAs are corollary to the ve KRAs of the present administraon and naonal government
priories. Three will push for transparent, accountable, and parcipatory governance; two will aempt to
reduce poverty and empower the poor and vulnerable; and one will promote rapid and sustained or
inclusive economic growth.
Five programs and projects directly support the regions thrusts on agri-business, tourism and ICT
development. Out of this number, four are geared towards aaining compeve agri-business and highly
developed tourism industry. The other PPA is focused more on ICT development.
Investment Distribuon
Out of the total esmated PhP292.9 million public investments, about 61% or PhP177.3 million is
earmarked for poverty alleviaon. Support to employment generaon takes a share of 17% or PhP49.7
million. The amount of P65.9 million or 22% will be invested for improving development coordinaon and
administraon.
On a year-on-year basis, of the total P292.9 million
investments, PhP89.78 million (31%) is programmed for
ulizaon in 2014, PhP97.3 million (33%) in 2015, and PhP106
million (36%) in 2016.
Poverty alleviaon and employment support projects each has
a 25% share while development administraon projects get all
of the remaining 50%.
Investment Trends
Almost all of the four core programs and projects
show an increasing investment trend, except that of
employment generaon, which shows a steady ow of
investment over the three-year Plan period. Overall,

Introducon
This chapter presents a comprehensive public investment program in support of the regions
objecves of increasing the growth of the agriculture and sheries (A&F) sector, aaining food
suciency, enhancing its disaster resilience, and increasing incomes from the sector. The set of
intervenons laid down under this chapter covers the A&F value chain, including those that will ensure
sucient markeng capacity as well as infrastructure and extension support. The core programs and
projects are along educaon and training intended to enhance the technical capability of workers in the
sector, research and development, and responsive regulatory services. All these intervenons are geared
towards achieving a compeve and sustainable A&F sector of the region.
For the next three years, there will be 10 core programs involving 65 projects and acvies with
an esmated total investment of PhP1.72 billion.
Development Investment Priories
Corollary to the development priories at the internaonal, naonal and regional levels, the
PhP1.72 billion investments for agriculture and shery will contribute to the aainment of four MDG
goals, four KRAs of the present administraon, and the agri-business development thrust of the region.
All of the core programs and projects support the MDG goal of eradicang extreme poverty and
hunger. Around 97% or 63 PPAs promote gender equality and empowerment of women while 14% or
nine PPAs support the goals of reducing child mortality. The remaining 3% or two PPAs are on improving
maternal health.
In connecon with the naonal thrusts, four KRAs of the naonal government will be addressed.
Two projects will support the promoon of a transparent, accountable, and parcipatory governance, and
46 projects the reducon of poverty and empowerment of the poor and vulnerable sectors. Moreover,
56 PPAs will promote rapid and sustained economic growth while 17 are aimed at maintaining theintegrity of the environment and climate change adaptaon.
Investment Distribuon
The PhP1.72 billion worth of investments programmed for this sector is 2% of the total required
investment for the region over the next three years. Of this amount, the largest chunk (25%) will go to
livelihood assistance to Agrarian Reform Communies (ARCs) amounng to roughly PhP429.3 million. This
is followed by the 20% (PhP341.76) million share of the Irrigaon Support Services Program, 17% (PhP342
million) for Disaster Response, 11% (PhP233 million) for Other Infrastructure, and 10% (PhP207 million)
Post-Harvest Development Services.
The rest of the nine major programs in this sector have shares of less than 10%. These are 9%
(PhP179 million) for Extension Support, Educaon and Training Services; 4% (PhP88 million) for Research
and Development Services; and 0.5% (PhP9 million) for Regulatory Services.
Nearly half (46%) of the total investment amounng to PhP948 million will pour in in 2014. The
remaining amounts of PhP529 million (26%) and PhP586 million (28%) will come in by 2015 and 2016,
respecvely.
In terms of number of PPAs supporng compeveness and sustainability of the A&F sector, 51
(78%) and 14 (22%) will promote compeveness and sustainability, respecvely. Leading the programs

Introducon
This chapter will show the needed public investments that will make the regions trade, industry
and services sector become compeve. These intervenons are on trade and industry, science and
technology, and tourism sectors. As in the other chapters, this poron is also anchored on the countrys
MDG commitments, Social Contract of the President with the Filipino People, and the Updated RDP.
For the three-year Plan period, the investments mostly reect the necessary intervenons from
key government agencies mandated to spearhead development along these sectors. Specically, these
are the Departments of Trade and Industry (DTI), Science and Technology (DOST), and Tourism (DOT).
Three major programs with around thirty-four (34) projects and acvies were packaged to help
realize the development vision and thrusts of the region along these sectors. This totals to an esmated
amount of PhP130.6 million.
Development Investment Priories
The P130.6 million of investments under this chapter is programmed to support the aainment of
the seven MDG commitments, four KRAs of the present administraon, and the three development
thrusts of the region.
The programs and projects will support the aainment of almost all of the MDG goals, except
Goal 6, which is to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. The MDGs supported by the PPAs are
to: 1) eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; 2) achieve universal primary educaon; 3) promote gender
equality and empowerment of women; 4) reduce child mortality; 5) improve maternal health; 7) ensure
environmental sustainability; and 8) develop a global partnership for development.
Except for the priority KRA on peace and the rule of law, this chapter supports four KRAs of thenaonal government, namely: 1) transparent, accountable, and parcipatory governance; 2) poverty
reducon and empowerment of the poor and vulnerable; 3) rapid, inclusive, and sustained economic
growth; and 4) integrity of the environment and climate change adaptaon.
Likewise, the PPAs will support the priority thrusts of the region towards compeve agri -
business, highly developed tourism, and viable ICT.

Over the three-year period, there is a huge investment for 2014 in the amount of PhP190 million.
The sum of PhP10.5 million will be invested in 2015 and another PhP10.5 million for 2016.
In terms of programs and projects, the S&T subsector has a line-up of 30 PPAs, although with the
smallest share of invesments. Out of this number, 21 projects altogether take the share of 70%.
Meanwhile, 17% or ve projects are for trade and industry and 13% or four projects are for tourism
development.
Investment Trends
For the next three years, the investments for this chapter follow a decreasing trend from 2014 to
2016, although the decrease from 2015 to 2016 will be minimal.
By major program, S&T and tourism development shows an errac trend in investments while
trade and industry has a one-me investment for 2014.

Introducon
Infrastructure is a crical sector in the development of the region. This secon of the RDIP lays
down the enre gamut of infrastructure needs that will boost producvity and increase accessibility to
market and services. Specically, this secon presents the investments necessary to enhance
connecvity, such as roads and bridges, airports and sea ports. It also includes investments to improve
irrigaon facilies that will enhance rice producon as well as investments to increase access to potable
water supply in the region. Likewise, it covers investment requirements for the energy subsector and
social infrastructure intended to increase accessibility to educaon and health services, and ood control
projects as part of the responses to the global quest for disaster migaon and climate change
adaptaon.
The PhP83.5 billion worth of public investments in infrastructure laid down in this secon of the
RDIP comprises the biggest slice of the total investments in the region. The amount is spread to around
six strategic programs covering 29 projects and acvies.
Support to Development Investment Priories
Out of the 16 internaonal, naonal and regional development priories, 13 development
priories will be responded to under this chapter. Seven of the eight MDG commitments, four of the ve
KRAs of the present administraon, and all of the three development thrusts of the region are supported
by this infrastructure investment program.
Both MDG Goal 6, i.e. combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases and MDG Goal 8, i.e. develop
a global partnership for development, and KRA 1 of the naonal government on transparent,
accountable, and parcipatory governance are not responded to by the infrastructure investments
program for the next three years.
The 30 infrastructure programs and projects fully support the MDG on eradicang extreme
poverty and hunger and 97% or 29 PPAs are directly supporng to ensure environmental sustainability.
There are six PPAs or 20% aligned to the goal of achieving universal primary educaon and 20 PPAs (67%)
will promote gender equality and empowerment of women. There are 12 PPAs that will reduce child
mortality and improve maternal health.
On the ve priority KRAs of the naonal government, all of the PPAs are related to poverty
reducon and empowerment of the poor and vulnerable, thus push for rapid, inclusive, and sustained
economic growth. There are six and 28 PPAs that will respond to the just and lasng peace and the rule of
law, and maintain the integrity of the environment and climate change, respecvely.
As to the regional development priories, all the 30 PPAs will push for compeve agri-business,
67% or 20 PPAs for a highly developed tourism sector, and 50% or 15 PPAs for a viable ICT sector.
Investment Distribuon
Fiy percent (50%) or PhP42 billion public investment of the PhP83 billion infrastructure
investment program is for renewable energy development. Meanwhile the transport sector ranked
second at 32% with the proposed investment of PhP26.3 billion. On the other hand, irrigaon has 14%
share and the rest of the major programs have less than 2% share. Social infrastructure with a one -me
investment of PhP700 million has the least share at 0.8%.
There are six major programs under this chapter. In terms of number of projects per program,
70% of the 30 PPAs is shared by transport (12 PPAs) and irrigaon (9 PPAs), or 40% and 30%, respecvely.
There are ve PPAs under energy program and two PPAs on water supply program.

A total of PhP45.5 billion public
investments (54%) along the three major
programs shows an increasing trend while two
programs for a total of Php38 billion show an
errac trend. Investments on water supply,
ood control, and energy development
programs will be increasing. On the other hand,
investments on transport and irrigaon
programs are errac. There is a one-me
investment for the social infrastructure program
in 2014.

Introducon
This secon of the RDIP presents the public nvestments for intervenons intended to create
human resources needed for the development of Eastern Visayas. These investments will cover educaon
and skills development, health, labor and employment, and social welfare services. The bulk of the value
of investments is along educaon and social welfare.
The PPAs set out in this chapter are actually support intervenons to the development priories
of the region. Thus, it is dicult to segregate the amounts devoted to specic programs or projects as
they may relate to one development priority. Hence, the scenario presented here is in terms of the
number of projects supporng the development priories.
A total of PhP2.61 billion worth of public investments is programmed for this chapter. This total
amount is shared among the four major programs broken down into 39 key projects and acvies.
Support to Development Investment Priories
In support to the governments key development thrusts, the esmated PhP2.61 billion
investments are aligned to the six MDG commitments, four naonal KRAs, and the three development
thrusts of the region.
The MDGs supported are: 1) eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; 2) achieve universal primary
educaon; 3) promote gender equality and empowerment of women; 4) reduce child mortality; 5)
improve maternal health and 6) combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases.
There are 20 PPAs (51% of the total number) that will support MDG Goal 1, 14 PPAs (34%) MDG
Goal 2, and 21 PPAs (54%) MDG Goal 3. MDG Goal 4 is supported by two PPAs. MDG Goals 5 and 6 are
each supported by three PPAs.
On the other hand, the four naonal KRAs that will be supported by the investment program areKRA 1 -promoon of transparent, accountable, and parcipatory governance; KRA 2 -poverty reducon
and empowerment of the poor and vulnerable; KRA 3 -rapid, inclusive, and sustained economic growth,
and KRA 5 -integrity of the environment and climate change adaptaon.
All the PPAs under this chapter support KRA 2. While 29 and 9 PPAs will be pushing for the
achievement of KRAs 1 and 3, respecvely, only one PPA will be supporng KRA 5.
The three regional development thrusts on compeve agri-business, highly developed tourism,
and viable ICT will be supported by 18, 28, and 30 PPAs, respecvely. In percent, out of the total number
of programmed PPAs, the distribuon of PPAs to the three main thrusts is 46%, 72%, and 77%,
respecvely.
Investment Trends
A noteworthy behavior of investments under this chapter can be seen in an errac investment
trend. Despite that investments trends of major programs are either increasing or steady, none of the
specic programs and projects have decreasing investment trends. Three of the major programs have
increasing trends while one program shows a one-me investment in 2014.
Programs on educaon and social welfare, and labor and employment show an increasing
investment trend while health development support program has a one-me investment for 2014.

Introducon
This chapter lays out intervenons to further improve governance and the rule of law in the
region. Specically, these public intervenons are geared towards promong compeveness, improving
administraon, and promong social protecon. This chapter also includes intervenons on granng of
incenves to encourage beer performance.
Among the RDIP chapters, this one has the least investment of almost PhP10 million only. This is
0.5% of the total investments for the next three years.
There are ve strategic programs that will be implemented. These are on developing business -
friendliness and compeveness of LGUs, environment protecon, climate change adaptaon and
disaster resiliency, social protecon and safety, accountability, transparency, parcipaon, and eecve
governance.
Support to Development Investment Priories
The esmated PhP10 million programmed for this chapter supports two MDGs and KRAs and RDP
thrusts on agri-business, tourism and ICT.
There are three programs that would support the MDG goal on promong gender equality and
empowerment of women. In terms of the KRAs at the naonal level, there are also programs that back
up the KRA commitment on rapid, inclusive, and sustained economic growth and the KRA on
empowerment of the poor and vulnerable.
In summary, all of the ve major programs support the three RDP thrusts, MDG Goal 1 on
eradicang extreme poverty and hunger, and KRA 1 on promong transparent, accountable, and
parcipatory governance.
Figure 10. Investment Distribuon for Good Governance
and Rule of Law by Major Program
Investment Distribuon
The PhP10 million public investments are almost evenly distributed among the ve major
programs, except the PhP3.88 million investment (39% of the chapters total investment) for the Local
Governance Performance Incenve Program. However, on an annual basis, the investments are consistent
over the three-year period.
The remaining PhP6.2 million is divided among the four other programs. A total of PhP1.7 million
or 17% is alloed for programs on accountable, transparent, parcipave and eecve local governance
and for the development of socially protecve and safe LGUs. The remaining two programs both have a
13% share or PhP1.4 million.
Investment Trends
A rare constant investment trend
can be observed in this chapter. The
amount of investments for the ve major
programs is consistent over the next
three years.

Introducon
Peace and security eorts are crical in sustaining socio-economic gains and aracng more
public investments in the region. Under this chapter, a comprehensive program covering almost all pillars
of security, i.e. social, economic, polical, and administrave, will be invested upon. The Payapa at
Masayang Pamayanan (PAMANA) is the banner program to unite the enre Filipino people. There are
three PAMANA programs of government agencies presented in this RDIP. Complemenng this program is
the construcon of police staons in dierent areas of the region.
Even with just two major programs, this chapter gets the third largest share of public investments
at PhP2.3 billion. This amount represents 2.5% of the enre RDIP investments.
Support to Development Investment Priories
This chapter, despite having only two programs, is comprehensive as it supports the enre RDP
thrusts on agri-business, tourism and ICT, four KRAs of the naonal government, and three MDG goals.
The MDGs supported are: Goal 1 on eradicaon of extreme poverty and hunger, Goal 3 on
promoon of gender equality and empowerment of women, and Goal 7 on ensuring environmental
sustainability. Three or 75% of the projects support Goals 1 and 3 while one project will help address
Goal 7.
On the other hand, the programs and projects herein proposed are in line with KRAs 1, 2, 3 and 4
of the naonal government. More specically, these KRAs will promote transparent, accountable, and
parcipatory governance; poverty reducon and empowerment of the poor and vulnerable; rapid,
inclusive, and sustained economic growth; and just and lasng peace and the rule of law.
Four projects will push for the aainment of KRA 4, and three projects for KRA 1. The other half of
the projects supports both KRAs 2 and 3.
As to support for the development thrusts of the region, three projects support agri-business and
tourism while 2 projects support ICT.
Figure 11. Investment Distribuon for Peace and
Security by Major Program
Investment Distribuon
Of the PhP2.3 billion public investments,
99% (PhP2.3 billion) is for the governments
PAMANA program while 1% (PhP13 million) is for
the construcon of police staons.
Investment Trends
Although there is a steady amount of
investments over the three-year period under the
PAMANA program, the chapter shows a decreasing
investment trend. This is due to the one-me
investment in the construcon of police staons in
2014. Similarly, on a yearly basis, investments show
a decreasing trend.

Introducon
The natural disasters that struck the country in recent years paved the way for vigorous
intervenons to take care of the regions environment. This chapter presents intervenons and the
corresponding nancial requirements necessary to promote conservaon, protecon and rehabilitaon
of the regions environment and natural resources (ENR). More specically, this chapter covers programs
and projects on ecosystem, ecological and waste management, polluon control, mineral resources
administraon and geosciences development.
The PhP2.1 billion for ENR is the fourth largest public investment among the eight chapters. This
is 2.2% of the total PhP93.4 billion RDIP investments. Said amount is spread over ten major programs.
Support to Development Investment Priories
Out of the ten programs under this chapter, three are supporve of the MDG goals, another
three of the naonal KRAs, and two of the RDP thrusts. These programs will have an impact on 50% of
the 16 priority criteria. Of these eight priories, ve will be supported by all of the ten programs. These
ve priority criteria are MDG Goal 7 on ensuring environmental sustainability; KRA 1 on the promoon of
transparent, accountable, and parcipatory governance; KRA 4 on just and lasng peace and the rule of
law; and the RDP thrusts on agri-business and tourism.
Two or 25% of the programs will have an impact on the MDG goal on eradicang extreme poverty
and hunger. One program will have an impact on the MDG goal on promong rapid, inclusive, and
sustained economic growth.
Investment Distribuon
Public investments in the ecosystems management project has the largest share at 97%,
amounng to PhP2 billion. The rest of the projects have less than 1% share of the total proposed
investments under this chapter.
Mineral lands administraon and geosciences development projects have PhP7 million and PhP4
million proposed investments, respecvely.
Figure 12. Investment Distribuon for
Conservaon, Protecon and Rehabilitaon of
Environment and Natural Resources by Major
Program
In terms of investments among major
programs, protecon has more projects compared
to conservaon and rehabilitaon of the
environment and natural resources. Although
there are ve ENR protecon-related projects, ENR
conservaon demands more investmentscompared to the two other major programs.
Investment Trends
Generally, there is an increasing
investment trend among individual projects and on
a yearly basis. More investments (49%) are
programmed for 2016 while 27% and 33% are
earmarked for 2014 and 2015, respecvely.
