PDR Altavas

Introduction The Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive Integrated Delivery of Social Services – National Community-Driven Development Program (Kalahi-CIDSS NCDDP) is one of the core poverty-reduction programs of the DSWD that intends to improve communities’ access to basic services and facilities that would yield reduction of poverty situations and improve their resiliency through inclusive, participatory and transparent approaches in planning, budgeting, resource mobilization, and implementation. In support to the increasing scope of complexity of the Kalahi-CIDSS NCDDP, the Municipal Process Monitor drafted a process documentation report for the implementation of KALAHI-CIDSS NCDDP in the Municipality of Altavas, Province of Aklan. A Process is a series of steps and interrelated work activities, characterized by specific inputs and tasks which add value, and make up a procedure for a set of specific outputs. Thus, the word ‘Process’ refers to the steps and work activities a transaction follows through an organization's systems, applications, and people. The word Documentation – refers to a narrative, or some description of the way the process works. Hence, Process Documentation is a systematic way of capturing what happens in a process of change and how it happens, to reflect and analyze why it happens and to organize and disseminate the findings. It helps to reflect, analyze and discover patterns that help or hinder change. The purpose of process documentation is to improve the quality and impact of a project. Process documentation allows internal project learning and joint learning with direct stakeholders. It looks beyond the project – into the context and may help projects to break through their sharp boundaries in time and space – enabling projects to raise issues of general interest and stimulate reflection and debate in wider society. (Grouppe Developpement South Asia Regional office 2008.) This report may be an invaluable tool in effective project management and governance on the implementation of KC NCDDP in Altavas, Aklan. The Process Documentation shall look at the context, history and traditions rather than being confined to what is going on during the limited time of the project. It looks beyond the project into the real world that the project aims to change into history, culture, patterns of power and decision making. Most of the projects have the ambition to change traditional patterns, attitudes, relationships, approaches and ways of thinking. It should, therefore, try to understand the context and the background of these attitudes, relationships, approaches and explore the impact on project objectives. The process documentation organizes, analyzes and disseminates findings in ways that make them useful. Hence, this report is important for projects and development of the Municipality of Altavas. The 1st part of this report involves: Brief introduction about the Municipality Discussion on the Three Areas of Municipal Development Recommendations for Municipal Development KALAHI CIDSS NCDDP Implementation (CEAC Process) Sub-Project Implementation Milestones Present Status of Sub-Project Implementation as of March 2018 Brief description on the convergence initiative to organize operation and maintenance group for the sustainability of the projects and development needs of the community Brief Introduction about the Municipality Geographic profile and political subdivision Figure 1.

The three (3) major economic activities in this town are fishing, farming, and employment. Another industry that is beginning to gain fame in Altavas is its culture and tourism. The town is a home to 2 natural waterfalls namely Mampa and Kalikasan Falls. The Kipot Cave and the Kataw River are also 2 of the town’s tourism potentials. It also has various festivals that are promotive of their rich history namely Pasalum (Depth drifting or diving), Pasub-ang, (eating of the newly-harvested rice) and Sto. Niño Ati-Atihan. In the Poblacion alone, the town already showcases its rich historical sites. At the entrance of the Municipal Hall, one can find a marker in memory of the Late Sen. Jose Cortes Altavas. In front of it is the Katimawant Jimeno Park. One can also find the bust cast of the said late Sen. Altavas. More than a hundred years ago, the town was known as Laguing Banwa and was just part of the Municipality of Batan and was under the jurisdiction of Lagatic (presently known as the Municipality of New Washington). Altavas officially became independent from New Washington in 1918 by E.O. No. 88 Series of 1917. Demography (Population and breakdown: poor families; Marginalized sectors such as women, PWDs, senior citizens, farmers, fishers, and IPs) Records of the Philippine Statistics Authority show that population in Altavas has increased by almost 0.03% from 23,919 last 2010 to 24,619 in 2015. Brgy. Poblacion has the most number of population while Brgy. Quinasay-an has the least. The 2015 Population distribution in every barangay is indicated in the table that follows: Table 1. 2015 POPULATION IN ALTAVAS, AKLAN PER BARANGAY Source: Philippine Statistics Authority NO.

Governance The executive branch of the Municipality of Altavas is headed by Mayor Denny D. Refol, Sr. while the legislative is led by Vice Mayor Joly A. Solita. A1. Performance in the SGLG Governance Assessment Report (2014) Among the three core components of the SGLG, the LGU of Altavas has met only the criteria for Good Financial Housekeeping. It was not able to pass the standards for Disaster Preparedness because of its inability to meet the following criteria: National Gawad Kalasag Awardee; Presence of any two (2) plans (CLUP, LDRRM Plan, Contingency Plan and/or Climate Change Action Plan); Early warning system in-place; Prepositioning of registration, relief operations, medical, and security services; and Standard Operations Procedures available  It also needed to meet the following criteria for the standards for Social Protection: With LGU-managed Youth Home, Bahay Pag-asa, or any similar care facility; With licensed LSWDO; Compliance with Accessibility Law; and Maternal Care Package Of the three (3) Essential Components of the Seal, the LGU of Altavas were able to meet the standards for Peace and Order, and Environmental Management though it did not have the (1) Ten-Year Solid Waste Management (SWM) Plan approved by the Sanggunian or the NSWMC and the (2) Access to Sanitary Landfill or Application of an Alternative Technology. A2. Financial Profile and Performance: The trend in the LGU’s municipal income has steadily been increasing since 2013. In 2015, it had a 14% increase amounting to Php9.44M. For two consecutive years since 2014, the locally-sourced revenues are 18% of the municipal income. 82% comes from the LGUs internal revenue allotment (IRA).

Figure 3. 2016 Budget Allocation in AIP of Altavas, Aklan Poverty Reduction Poverty incidence in Altavas, Aklan was increasing from 2003 to 2009 with its peak at 44.7 and is higher than the provincial poverty incidence by 18.4 in 2009. It reduced and became almost at par with the provincial poverty incidence at 25.2 in 2012. B1. Priorities, Interventions, and Gaps LGU-Identified Priority Needs and Interventions The LGU stated that one of the major challenges that they need to prioritize is the health and nutrition condition of more than 90% of its communities. There is only one (1) district hospital in the municipality situated in Poblacion, five (5) barangay health stations, and eight (8) health sub-center facilities. There is also a new rural health center with lying-in facility in the town. Except for Brgy. Lupo, the LGU still included the three (3) barangays in the list of villages that are still in need of health centers despite the presence of barangay health stations. The LGU also expressed that all barangays are in need of health equipment and nutrition program. Though the LGU was not able to prioritize health equipment, it has, on the other hand, included nutrition program in its 2016 AIP amounting to Php82,000.00. Another need identified by the LGU is the improvement of their disaster response programs and services. Barangays Poblacion, Linayasan, and Odiong, were able to access community emergency response trainings which is a critical component in ensuring community’s disaster resiliency. Brgy. Lupo was able to access rescue equipment that were provided by the DOST – Pag-Asa. Based on their plans and accomplishments, the LGU was able to respond to the infrastructural needs in disaster-response by establishing fourteen (14) evacuation centers. The other major concern of the LGU is the electrification in twelve (12) barangays to improve the peace and order situation in the village. The rehabilitation of electrification for various barangays have been included in the Special Purpose Appropriation for Budget Year 2016 under the 20% Development Fund amounting to Php200,000.00. Summary of LGU-Identified Needs (Source: 2015 Annual Investment Plan) ACCESS AND MOBILITY Rehabilitation of Barangay Road and Bridges WATER SYSTEM Rehabilitation of water system DISASTER RESPONSE Purchase of medicines, food and supplies Orientation/drills, trainings, seminars, financial assistance, purchase of equipment HEALTH AND NUTRITION Nutrition Care for children Health Care Services Rehabilitation of GMAC Center. Waiting shed, Streetlights, Health Center, Multi-Purpose Pavement (Civic Center) Community-Identified Needs and Interventions Of the 14 barangays, 10 expressed their need for livelihood skills training and assistance and all were able to access livelihood interventions through the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) of the DSWD, TESDA (through Bottom-Up-Budgeting) and the LGU. Through the DSWD alone, 460 households were able to avail of assistance through the SLP. Six (6) barangays namely Cabugao, Linayasan, Lumaynay, Lupo, Poblacion, and Talon needed to improve their mobility. They were able to access resources and other support for the concreting or improvement of roads through the Bottom-Up Budgeting. It has also improved its public market and constructed a slaughterhouse to support other agricultural and livestock engagements. Summary of Community-Identified Needs (Source: Results of Participatory Situation Analysis Conducted by the Kalahi-CIDSS Volunteers) ACCESS / MOBILITY Community income will increase if roads are improved which will yield lesser transportation cost for their produce WATER SYSTEM Improve households’ access to safe and potable water SANITATION Improve people’s access to sanitary toilet facilities to prevent more health problems EDUCATION Families need more income to cope with the daily expenses incurred by their children when going to school LIVELIHOOD/SKILLS TRAINING Improve skills of farmers to increase their production and income Women need to be trained to improve their skills and engage in alternative sources of income AGRICULTURE Passage of a fair ordinance that will not discriminate tenants Improve farm inputs to help farmers gain more income from better farm production HEALTH AND NUTRITION Improve communities’ access to basic health services and facilities PEACE AND ORDER Safe communities especially at night ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION Improve drainage system to prevent clogging of farm irrigations DISASTER RESPONSE To be safe and prepared during emergency situations or calamities Gaps ACCESS/MOBILITY To improve communities’ mobility, the LGU needs to consider implementing projects like bridges or footbridges in ten (10) barangays namely Cabugao, Dalipdip, Ginictan, Linayasan, Lumaynay, Lupo, Odiong, Poblacion, Quinayasan, Talon. EDUCATION The LGU needs to consider constructing a Child Development Center (formerly known as Day Care Center) in Brgy. Lupo to cater to the social development of children who are 2-4 years of age Barangay Poblacion is also urging the LGU to implement a scholarship program to help qualified students, especially those who are indigent, in in their expenses related to accessing quality education AGRICULTURE Barangays Cabugao, Ginictan, and Odiong need assistance in improving their farming and fishing technologies and practices to gain better produce. Barangay Dalipdip, on the other hand, is urging the LGU, especially the members of the Sanggunian, to pass an ordinance that will protect the farmers HEALTH AND NUTRITION Other than Barangays Lupo and Man-up, the LGU has to review the needs of the communities for health centers It also has to consider reviewing its programs and projects that are related to provision of health equipment to all health centers and stations to improve their services even in isolated areas The LGU shall ensure functionality of their Municipal Nutrition Council and may also consider strengthening its partnership with other National Government Agencies such as DSWD and International Humanitarian Organizations to improve its Nutrition Program and shall not only be limited to Supplementary Feeding Program. ELECTRIFICATION Other than Barangays Poblacion and Odiong, the need of other barangays for electrification to ensure their security especially during night time remains to be a gap ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION Brgy. Poblacion need for an improved drainage system needs to be looked into by the LGU Forest protection in Brgy. Tibiao calls for a passage of an ordinance since the community is already becoming a potential site for tourists DISASTER RESPONSE To make community emergency responses more efficient, the LGU, through its MDRRMC, needs to provide for the soft side of the identified need through capability building and development activities such as orientations, trainings, and seminars related to community disaster/emergency response. Further, rescue equipment remain to be a need for all the barangays except for Lupo that was able to access the said equipment from the Dept. of Science and Technology (DOST). People Empowerment According to the community volunteers, people empowerment is triggered when they are provided with opportunities to participate in barangay and municipal planning and decision-making activities such as barangay assemblies (BAs). At least two (2) BAs must be convened by the Punong Barangays annually and these are being monitored by the DILG. In Altavas, 84 BAs were convened in 2015 making each barangay to have convened an average of 3-4 BAs. These provided community members, including those from poor households, with more opportunities to participate in local planning and decision-making activities. These, as well, have increased their knowledge and awareness on implementation of local plans, budget allocation, and fund utilization. C1. Participation Records show that 797 households and 17 civil society organizations were able to participate in local planning activities. Community members agree that they were able to access various trainings and capability-building activities especially from the KALAHI-CIDSS NCDDP. However, they have discussed that women were not able to fully participate in the implementation of community projects. C2. Disaster-Risk Related Activities and Preparedness The barangays agree that they have been provided with orientations on disaster risk reduction but were not able to roll-out the said activity in their respective communities. They are aware of the different types of natural and man-made calamities and disaster but still need to increase their awareness on the effects of calamities when communities are unprepared. They also need to be capacitated in reducing risks and responding to calamities. Further, they pointed out that they need more rescue equipment. C3. MLGU and Community Opinions The group of the MLGU representatives during group discussions raised the issue on improving their campaign and strategies to combat illegal logging in their locality since this contributes to more man-made risks that may eventually lead to disasters when it remains unattended. They need to be keener in giving out permits to cut trees. Moreover, they agreed that they must take a closer look and prioritize programs on forestry and MDRRM. In summary, the MIAC members pointed out that they need to take the following actions to improve the socio-economic status of the municipality: Revisit the needs identified by the communities especially those that are related to agricultural production and inputs Bridge the gap between the needs identified by the LGU and those identified by the communities Revisit municipal plan and activities related to disaster preparedness, risk reduction and risk management Consider improving people’s access to Farm-to-Market Roads to help them in the transportation of their fresh produce MILESTONES ON KALAHI CIDSS NCDDP Implementation Cycle 1 - Accelerated-Community Empowerment Activity Cycle Preparation Municipal Orientation The Area Coordinating Team (ACT) reported to the Municipal Mayor’s office on Oct. 1st 2014th.

Mayor Refol enumerated the different agencies continuously extending assistance to the typhoon victims in the municipality and thank KC NCDDP for choosing the municipality as one of its recipient, he also laid down his different plans in seeking further relief for the continued rehabilitation of the municipality. Damage and needs after typhoon Yolanda was identified by Mr. Larry Panagsagan, LDRMO, where he presented a list of disaster assessment in the different barangays. Afterwards, Engr. Roger Dela Cruz, MPDC, presented the rehabilitation plans and a list of agencies assisting on the rehabilitation projects of the municipality. He further reminded the Punong Barangays to submit their spot maps and investment plan and their other needs to be included in the municipal investment plan for funding. Mrs. Gengia Cleope, MLGOO, then presented the status of rehabilitation projects in every barangay for the years 2013-2014-2015. She also took this opportunity to validate from the Punong Barangays on the updated status presented. Punong Barangay Hernan Catuiran of Tibiao, lamented on the delay of the implementation of the BUB projects. Majority of the Punong Barangays concurred on the observation of PB Catuiran. Engr. Benjie Perlas, Municipal Engineer, addressed the issue asking the understanding of the forum since the engineering office is understaff thus there is always a delay in their request for their program of works. It was agreed that each barangay can have their program of works prepared by an engineer or a person of their choice and Engr. Perlas will review, approve and sign the program of work if it meets the standard and requirement. Mr. Robert Nicopior, the Community Development Officer 3 from SRPMO Aklan, then facilitated a workshop listing the needs of barangays for repair/rehabilitation of damage of Yolanda and disaster preparedness & resiliency. The Punong Barangays with their respective Brgy. Secretaries worked together in identifying the DANA (Disaster Assessment and Needs Analysis) of every barangay. They were given ample time to list down the damages caused by typhoon Yolanda and their needs and the present activity and the funding agencies if any and its present status. They were advised that what they will be listing will be presented in their respective Barangay Assemblies where the final selection of their need and applicable project will be decided by their constituents. The facilitator selected three (3) Barangays to report their workshop result, namely, PB Hernan E. Catuiran (Tibiao), PB Ronart A. Panuncio (Cabangila) and Brgy. Sec. Jury D. Francisco (Dalipdip). After the presentation of workshop result, Mr. Nicopior, CDO3, presented to the forum the pre-set criteria for barangay allocation which was presented during the MO, as follows: Total number of population – 20% Poverty Incidence – 30% Total number of HH damaged (partially and totally) – 50% Mr. Nicopior explained that Criteria 1 and 2 was based on 2010 NSO Census and NHTS PR respectively. He reiterated that the criteria are fixed including its percentage. Only the data on magnitude of damage/numbers of affected households will be determined by the body. He asked the forum to agree first on what data will be use in determining the damage, however, only data that reflects all barangays DANA will be accepted to be fair to all barangays. If the forum wants two, example, HH affected & cost of infra damage, they can split the 50% in half (i.e .25 and .25) or if they want three (i.e. HH affected, cost of damage to agriculture & cost of infra damage), split the 50% into three (.20, .15 & .15) He gave them the option to include infrastructure and/or agriculture as part of the 3rd criteria since it seems that as per DANA report, the municipality suffered great infrastructure and agricultural damages. If the forum wishes the 3rd criteria can be split into 25% for infra and 25% for household damages or 20% for HH, 15% for infra and 15% for agriculture. The forum deliberated on including infrastructure and agriculture, however, they themselves reported that data for damaged infrastructure and agriculture was not accurate and that the no. of households was more accurate. Mr. Nicopior asked the forum to vote and the majority voted for the number of household damaged (partially and totally) with the score of 12 out of 14 barangays. Hence, the approved criteria for barangay allocation is the pre-set criteria presented in the MO. Mr. Nicopior then facilitated the computation and presentation of barangay ranking and allocation vis a vis municipal grant allocation of 21,527,100, as follows: After the announcement of barangay allocation and ranking, the Area Coordinator then facilitated the creation of Validation Team and the forum identified Engr. Roger C. Dela Cruz, Jr. (MPDC), Mrs. Elena P. Clavel (MSWDO), Mrs. Gengia A. Cleope (MLGOO), Engr. Benjie E. Perlas (ME), Mr. Larry E. Panagsagan (LDRRMC), Dr. Analyn T. Refol MHO, Mrs. Lucita P. Recidoro (DepED Distric Supervisor) and Ezel C. Selorio (CSO Representative), Jeoffrey F. Gervacio (OIC MAO), and Glenda O. Saguban (Budget Officer).
