1 Introduction and Background
1.1 Project Background

Access to water is a human right and indispensable towards leading a life in human dignity.
The United Nations Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (UN CESCR) stated
the right to water is a prerequisite for the realization of other human rights and must be
secured for present and future generations. The lack of access to adequate water supply and
sanitation (WSS) facilities remains as the leading cause of diseases and deaths in the world
and exacerbates poverty. Everyone has the right to reliable, sufficient, reasonably priced, and
physically accessible water.
The WSS sector in the country is guided by the Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap
(PWSSR) and Philippine Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR) developed in 2010. These
roadmaps set the direction in achieving the country’s long-term targets towards universal
access for WSS by 2025 and 2028, respectively. Furthermore, the roadmaps are consistent
with the country’s
commitment to achieving the Figure 1-1: Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation

an action plan to execute the PWSSR and the PSSR. The following are the objectives for
formulating the PWSSMP as summarized in Figure 1-1:
1. Formulate a Master Plan to set the direction towards achieving water supply and
sanitation targets:
 Increase percentage of households with access to safe water supply to 95%
by 2022;
 Increase percentage of households with access to basic sanitation to 97% by
2022;
 Universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water by 2030;
 Universal access to adequate and equitable access to sanitation by 2030; and,
 Achieving targets under the Clean Water Act of 2004;
2. Develop strategies, policy reforms, and identify of priority programs and projects for
short-, medium-, and long-term targets;
3. Update and integrate the PWSSR and PSSR into a single comprehensive Master Plan
and linking such plan with all other initiatives in the water supply and sanitation,
including the Unified Financing Framework (UFF); and
4. Capacity enhancement for the NEDA staff as well as those from government agencies
and institutions on water resources planning, employing current and latest
methodologies through training workshops.
1.2 Scope and Organization

The Draft PWSSMP is organized into six key chapters, these are:
 Chapter 1 is Introduction and Background of the Report

 Chapter 2 is Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Assessment
 Chapter 3 is Building a Secure and Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Future
 Chapter 4 is The Roadmap to Meeting a Secure and Sustainable Water Supply and
Sanitation Future
 Chapter 5 is Investment Program and Financing Plan, and
 Chapter 6 is Operational Plan
The Master Plan includes 17 Regional Roadmaps, 16 of which were developed in consultation
with provincial representatives through the regional planning workshops while the roadmap
for the National Capitol Region (NCR) is the Business Plan developed by the Metropolitan
Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) concessionaires. The scope of the roadmaps
highlights the regional water supply and sanitation sector situation, proposed targets, and
action plan for achieving the target on universal access to water and sanitation.
1.3 Preparing the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master

Plan
The PWSSMP was developed to direct the realization of the Philippine water supply and
sanitation targets committed in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022, SDG for
2030, as well as achieving the targets mandated under the Clean Water Act 2004.
The PWSSMP recognized that efforts, including the development of roadmaps for water supply
and sanitation in 2010, have been initiated in the Philippine WSS Sector. However, the sector
remains unsuccessful in realizing the targets as reported in the Medium-Term Philippine
Development Plan (MTPDP). The PWSSMP aims to be an implementable and achievable plan
that will attain the following targets:
Page 2 of 224
Features of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan
The following framework and strategies were considered in developing the PWSSMP. These
tools ensure that the resulting plan is realistic, implementable, and focused towards
addressing the issues and challenges that were identified in the sector assessment.
Stratified Targeting by Geographic Division and Levels of Service. The targeted

access of 95% and 97% respectively for water supply and sanitation are stratified according
to the Levels of Service (Level 3, Level 2, and Level 1), and into basic, improved, and sewerage
systems. These were derived from provincial targets consolidated at the regions. The targets
set per province and the 2015 baseline access from the Philippines Statistics Authority (PSA)
were the starting point for projecting the growth in coverage by the end of 2022. The
provincial targets shall be the basis for the municipal targets that will be defined in the Local
Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan when the regional roadmaps are implemented.
Strategic Framework for Reforms. In the development of the needed reforms, the
PWSSMP follows a framework that addresses the issues and challenges of the sector according
to the following segmentation:
1. Undeveloped segment refers to the unorganized, and underdeveloped part of

the sector, particularly areas with no water districts (WDs), which continues to be
with Level 2 and Level 1 services and comprise 54% of the population, and 12%
served by LGU-led water utilities.
2. Developing segment part of the sector refers to low performing WDs that have
not expanded and/or remained to be financially struggling; and non-operational or
non-functional water districts.
3. Developed segment refers to those operated by government-owned and
controlled corporations (GOCCs), WDs, and utility companies that are fully
operational and functional.
Page 3 of 224
To address the issues of each segment of the sector and help achieve the targeted access for
water supply and sanitation, eight key reform areas were identified under the PWSSMP. These
are:

*WSS – water supply and sanitation
The proposed key reforms are a result of a nationwide consultation in 16 regions and at the
national level to address region-specific and national issues aside. Each reform area addresses
the constraints and issues that were identified from the consultation process, which when
undertaken successfully are expected to help attain the targeted access.
Clear implementation arrangements. The PWSSMP includes an Operational Plan (see

Chapter 6) that defines a coordinated and expedient way of implementing the proposed
reforms in the immediate five-year period and the responsibilities for implementation. NEDA,
together with the various implementing agencies, will serve as the executing agency. The five-
year program consists of a pre-investment phase in 2019 and the implementation phase from
2020 to 2023.
The program, which may be called the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement
Investment Program (PWSSIIP), includes an investment program with the financial plan that
would bring a significant increase and improved access in water supply and sanitation.
A Participatory and Highly Consultative Process. The process of preparing the master plan is
highly consultative and participatory given the regional workshops, national consultations, and
various roundtable discussions (RTDs) that involved different stakeholders. The regional
consultations were most useful as they provided a lot of insights into the real issues that are
specific into each region and the proposed ways on how to address them. The
recommendations under each key reform area are focused and targeted, and, when
implemented, are expected to bring about the desired outcome because of the ownership and
Page 4 of 224
support from national and local agencies. The regional development councils (RDCs) were
consulted in the process of developing the regional roadmaps that were consolidated into the
PWSSMP.
Practical, Specific, and Implementable Solutions. The PWSSMP includes a menu of proposed
programs and activities that are targeted to address critical issues in the sector while helping
to achieve the PDP and SDG goals. These proposed reforms will not require the enactment of
laws for implementation and at most will require an Executive Order (EO). Most of the
proposed reforms in the short- to medium-term can be done through an EO at the national
and local levels and by invoking certain existing laws and decrees, such as Presidential Decree
(PD) 198, the Clean Water Act, EO 279, and the UFF. The PWSSMP has a section for quick
wins under each of the eight key reform areas that address the bottlenecks identified in the
regional consultations and in RTDs at the national level. Addressing these quick wins will bring
immediate results.
Making the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan Work
The successful implementation of the PWSSMP relies on these critical elements:
Conduct of Pre-implementation Activities and Expediency in Implementation. Immediate

pre-implementation activities should follow the submission of the PWSSMP to sustain the
momentum and interest in it. The regional roadmaps must be translated into provincial plans
so that it can be further detailed to include individual local government unit (LGU) inputs and
be implemented at the provincial level. Ensure that critical preparatory activities1, such as the
following, are undertaken.
 Develop clear implementing guidelines for the UFF. As it is the intent to operationalize
the UFF, the guidelines should be developed in time for the implementation of the
investment program.
 Develop revisions to the NEDA joint venture (JV) guidelines, Local Water Utilities
Administration (LWUA) Guidelines on the regulation of public private partnerships
(PPP) in WDs.
 Develop provincial master plans based on the regional roadmaps.
Ownership and Strong Engagement by the LGUs, through the Chief Executive Officers,
to Gain Support in Implementation. The LGUs, especially those outside Metro Manila,
should be engaged. In addition, commitment should be obtained from them as majority of
the reforms will involve mostly the LGUs. The adoption and implementation of the PWSSMP
should be covered by an EO to obligate the LGU’s commitment towards achieving the targets.
Marketing and Promotion of the PWSSMP. The PWSSMP will be disseminated for information
and implementation to the provincial level. For easier understanding of the master plan, this
report will be summarized in a shorter, easier-to-read printed format, and an audio-visual
presentation (AVP) for circulation to all LGUs.
Allocation of a budget for operationalizing the PWSSMP. The failure or success of any program
will depend to a large extent on the resources that will be made available for implementation.
In earlier programs of the government, one of the reasons cited for the failure of specific
programs is the lack of resources. Under the Operational Plan section of the PWSSMP, the
amount estimated to carry out the PWSSIIP in the pre-implementation and implementation
phases total to Php 99 Billion.

Consultations and Workshops
Participation is the key approach used in the formulation of the PWSSMP. The NEDA PWSSMP
Team organized extensive consultations and workshops from October 4, 2017 to June 29,
2018. The nationwide consultation used a qualitative method, and the team conducted face-
to-face interviews through meetings, discussions, and workshops.
The four questions that guided the consultations and workshops are in the figure below:

Water service providers (WSPs), national government agencies, LGUs, private sector,
academe, civil society, and consumers participated in the consultations and workshops. The
results of these consultations and workshops were consolidated and formed the bases of the
PWSSMP. The regional roadmaps are also the comprehensive plans of the provinces, which
contain their target numbers for access and multi-year plans as well as their investment
programs. The following table summarizes the consultations and workshops conducted.

Over a thousand stakeholders from across the country provided valuable input to the national
water supply and sanitation masterplan. The support to this project, as was demonstrated by
the government at the regional and local level during its implementation, enabled the team
to reach out to as many people as possible.

A collective voice expressed through the participation of a broad range of stakeholders

affirmed the need to take action urgently to address the challenges in the sector and close
the gap in the delivery of services especially to the poorest.

2 Water Supply and Sanitation

Sector Assessment
The assessment of the Philippine water supply and sanitation sector is obtained from a global
databank through the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP). The JMP is a joint initiative of the
World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). It is the
official United Nations mechanism tasked with monitoring progress towards the water and
sanitation targets under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2016 and now the SDG
for 2030. The JMP has been the custodian of global data on drinking water, sanitation, and
hygiene (WASH) since 1990.
At the country-level, the PSA has a database similar to the JMP and concurs with its general
sector assessment. However, the JMP only provides national statistics and does not distinguish
the type of water service system for water supply within and outside Mega Manila; furthermore,
sanitation data on disposal or treatment of excreta are not yet available for all countries. The
data provided by the PSA is used in tandem with the JMP parameters and information for
purposes of analyzing water supply and sanitation access facilities in the master plan.
The assessment of the Philippine water supply and sanitation sector discusses the access and
coverage, technical and operating performance of service providers, discussion of sector
issues, constraints, and challenges, and government’s response. The information is derived
from 2015 PSA data and is the basis for establishing coverage, the SDG nomenclature is then
adopted and localized to enable LGU targeting.

2.1.1.1 Water Supply Access and Coverage
By source. A summary of the main sources of water supply for 2015 in the country is shown
in the following figure. About 55.3% of the population gets water from community-level piped
water systems, 35.4% from various types of wells, 6.8% from springs, rivers/streams and
lakes, and the remaining 2.5% from peddlers and other uncategorized water sources.

Community-level piped water systems, piped deep wells, piped shallow wells and protected
springs and rivers/streams are considered safe water sources. On the other hand, dug wells,
unprotected springs, rivers/streams and lakes, and peddlers are considered unsafe sources.
The following table shows the population served by safe and unsafe water sources by region
in 2015. The Philippines as a whole has 87.2% population getting water from safe sources.

It can be argued that water safety and potability cannot be categorized outright by the type
of water source. There are community-level piped water systems that fail in some aspects
based on the requirements of the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW).
Correspondingly, it is also possible, albeit in rare occasions, that those categorized as unsafe
under PNSDW are safe.
Access to improved water supply equates to access to safe, potable, and adequate water.
Getting data on the adequacy of water supply in some community-level piped water systems
is a challenge. There are water systems that only provide limited number of hours of water
service and those that have inadequate pressure in the water distribution system.
Measurement of access numbers in the future should include parameters in water quality,
pressure, and adequacy. In the absence of these factors, the water supply situation will be
assessed based on the categorization earlier described.
By types of service providers and levels of service. According to the foregoing table,
87.2% of the total Philippine population have access to safe water sources, this figure is
translated below into levels of service and by service providers as of 2015. Out of the total
population of 100.98 million in 2015, the two major service providers are the MWSS through
the Manila Water and Maynilad Water concessions, and the WDs that provide service to 16%
and 22% of the country’s population, respectively.

32% have individual Level 1 sources and the remaining 18% are distributed among LGU-led
water utilities, rural waterworks and sanitation association (RWSA), barangay waterworks and
sanitation association (BWSA), cooperatives and other small-scale service providers. What is
noticeable though is that a big portion is unorganized with Level 1 of 32% safe and 12%
unsafe.

2.1.1.2 Technical and Operating Performance
The quality of available statistical information on WSPs continues to be a challenge for the
sector. Most of the available information are from the two major WSPs – MWSS Concessions
and the WDs and some limited information from LGU-led water utilities. It is even harder still
to acquire robust operations data from small town water utilities.
Despite this, a number of studies and assessment on the water supply sector have been done
throughout the years, which have gleaned observation and findings that are generally
applicable to the sector at large. Typical to small towns water supply systems in the Philippines,
are these characteristics:
1. Considerably high non-revenue water, national average is 37%, while there are
systems going as high as 60%;
2. high production cost (P 3/cubic meter to P 7/cubic meter) – to account for O & M
personnel salaries and wages, energy cost, maintenance, and treatment;
3. “high” water tariffs – prevailing range of P 18/CM to P 32/CM
4. service efficiencies are generally low with some systems only providing 1 to 3 hrs of
water a day in some piped areas; while in areas were water are delivered by water
trucks, rationing is done twice weekly only;
5. ratio of O & M personnel to number of service connections in high – the standard for
publicly-run water utilities is 1 person per 100 connections; while for privately run
systems, in order of 1 person to 160 connections;
6. financially unsound; mainly due to unrealistic water tariffs, which make the systems
unable to provide for their O & M requirements, service their loans and keep reserves
for future expansions and emergency repairs.
While available data on WSPs have been disjointed and outdated, various studies made by
agencies and organizations with stakes on the water sector provided benchmarks and
indicative numbers on the state of the technical and operating performance of WSPs in the
Page 12 of 224
country. The Listahang Tubig database, for example, provides a summary of key performance
indicators (KPIs) based on data uploaded by registered WSPs in the country. It was observed,
however, that not all WSP annually upload their data and not all information is
uploaded/available. The reference year used in this discussion was 2013, which is the only
year with a nearly complete set of data. Collated data are used to provide benchmarks on
service, efficiency, and financial indicators. Table 2-4 shows the KPIs of registered WSPs in
the country, while Appendix F details the definition of the KPIs employed. Computed averages
of KPIs are shown at the regional and national levels, and comprise all registered WSPs,
management type notwithstanding, to the database.

a. Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) Concessions
Manila Water Company, Inc., which handles the East Zone Concession, and Maynilad, which
handles the West Zone Concession reported a Php9.55 billion consolidated net income in 2015.
This represents a 15.6% growth from the previous year. This is due to the sustained positive
performance of the concessionaires which reported a 1.27 million billed service connections
that generated 481.53 million cubic meter (MCM) volume in 2015. The estimated growth rates
are 5.8% and 4.2% for the past two years since 2015.
The concessionaires have the financial capacity needed to carry out their investment plans.
Both have ventured into partnerships with other WSPs in the country and explored areas for
expansion in the Southeast Asian region. Powered by their good financial standing, both
companies can easily access equity and debt especially with their success as service providers.
Discussions with a range of other private providers indicate that most have the financial
capacity to continue to invest in expansion that meets their return of investments. The private
sector providers are seen as good development partners for expanding investment and
mobilizing the capital required for the WSS sector.
b. Water Districts (WDs)
WDs operate commercially with a standard financial accounting system. They follow the
standard commercial and technical guidelines and procedures developed initially by LWUA,
and over time improved and upgraded by various institutions to suit the changing conditions.
WDs take care of the various tasks and technical know-how in the operation and maintenance
of their water supply system. LWUA has a databank of financial and operating information for
water districts obtained from monthly data sheets (MDS) and financial reports submitted on a
Page 1 of 224
regular basis by the WDs. Further, LWUA obligates the WDs to submit regular reports based
on its mandate to review the tariff.
The WDs performance is measured by a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) in different
key result areas of marketing, personnel efficiency, profitability, production efficiency,
collection efficiency and cost effectiveness. Performance across WDs of various sizes and
category is monitored through the WD Industry Average, a monitoring system that was put
in place by LWUA and has been in place for some time now. The following is a review of the
Operating and Financial performance of water districts based on their categories.

WD operating performance measured in terms of operating ratio, non-revenue water (NRW),

and collection efficiency showed no significant disparity between WDs in the different
categories. NRW averaged 25% for all WDs and the Category “A” Districts had the highest
average at 27%. For collection efficiency, LWUA prescribes at least 90% and the WDs with
less than 3,000 connections fell a little short at 89% average. Collection performance gets
better with higher categories as shown by Category A having 95%, B with 93% and C with
91%.
The sample Districts performed very well with a ratio of 238 active connections per employee
compared to the last WD industry average (2009 LWUA published industry average showed
149 active connections per employee). Even the Category D Districts with a 197:1 ratio
performed quite well, compared to the minimum required ratio of 120:1.
Those Water Districts sampled which posted profit can access financing. Net income margin
is around 20% across WD categories. From the 10 samples in Category B, the lowest income
margin is at 7% (highest is 34%). For Category C where there are 19 samples, one WD had
a loss ratio of 27% but another one also attained the highest ratio of 38%. One sampled WD
in Category D had 11% net loss ratio (highest net income ratio is 29%).
With generally profitable operations of WDs, debt service ratio also showed that most WDs
can cover its loan obligations, including those with less than 3,000 connections. This is also
an indication for sustainable expansion, even for Category D WDs. As of 2015, the population
served by Category D WDs is only 30%.
c. Local Government Unit (LGU)-led Water Utilities
Page 2 of 224
LGU-run water utilities have been assessed as “the least successful management model for
providing water supply.” 2 Problems with LGU-run utilities were documented in a Report to
NEDA in March 1973.3 The identified structural weaknesses in the model include:
1. A lack of autonomy of the utility;

2. Excessively responsiveness to short-term political considerations;
3. A reliance on government appropriations for financial viability;
4. A lack of staff trained in management techniques and technical matters;
5. A lack of long range planning;
6. Inadequate enforcement of drinking water standards; and
7. Tariff-setting approaches which do not allow for cost recovery.
A study in 2013 found that the problems observed in 1973 continue to exist in LGU-run
utilities.4 A number of rural providers are broadly structured as user-association type. The
organizational typologies include community-based organizations (CBOs), rural water supply
associations (RWSAs), barangay water supply associations (BWSAs), and cooperatives. It is
believed that there are around 4,144 LGU run utilities of which 1,421 operate Level 3 systems.
These utilities always encounter technical and management challenges in their operations.
LGU-run utilities report 19 hours average water availability per day. Production is not properly
measured and the absence of proper commercial protocols are quite prevalent e.g., accounts
are not ring-fenced, connections are not metered, low collection efficiency, staff per 1,000 to
connections ratio reaching 34, etc. Only 21% of sample LGUs reported water potability tests.
Community based organizations perform better than LGU-run utilities but are facing similar
problems. Lack of technical personnel and access to financing constrain their expansion and
improvement programs.
d. Privately-owned and Managed Water Utilities
Most water privatization involves contractual relationships between governments and formally
established large companies, however, there are also those small-scale, often informal local
operators that exist that provide services to people in a particular city or municipality. The
other bigger private operators aside from Manila Water and Maynilad would include Prime
Water and Balibago Waterworks among others. There is however no readily accessible
financial and technical information on the water utilities that they operate. It would be safe to
assume however that in comparison to LGU-led water utilities they would be operating more
efficiently given their stronger capital base and ability to recover the cost of their operations
from tariff.
Sector Issues, Constraints, and Challenges
The existing situation of the water sector in the Philippines is characterized by a slow growth
in the access of water and sanitation. It also lags behind in terms of performance from its
other Asian counterparts, with over 50% not having individual piped water (Level 3) access.
Further dissecting this, only the National Capitol Region (NCR, Metro Manila) and Region 4A
(Calabarzon) have more than 50% Level 3 access to safe water in the country.

2.1.2.1 Delivery of Water Supply Service
 On increasing water supply access and coverage
With reference to the discussion on sector coverage in the previous section, the water supply
sector has not made any significant progress in the past 25 years.5 Increase in access has
been very slow or even negligible. While a 91.8% 6 access in 2015 is acceptable when
compared to the MDG target of 92%, further analysis of the current access levels shows
otherwise.
From 1990 to 2015, the number of people with access to improved water source grew slightly
by 3.7% per the JMP data. While population increased by 40.28 Million in 2015, the water
supply access is almost at the same level at 41.77 Million. The 3.7% increased access
translates to an additional 1.5 million people who improved their access from unsafe to safe
water sources. While the population with access to improved water sources has increased
from 50.93 Million in 1990 and 92.70 Million in 2015, the overall population also increased
from 60.70 Million to 100.98 Million.

 Need for a systematic data and information system to conduct more studies
to support supply, access, type, and choice of water service level system
The issues that continue to confront directly the provision of water supply which involve mainly
the water service providers are classified and summarized into three segments as undeveloped,
developing, and developed as shown in the figure below. These issues characterize the water
supply sector and indicate where assistance should be targeted.
5 Historical data on access not available per PSA, hence JMP data was used instead to show the trend.

Part of the unorganized, underdeveloped, and undeveloped segment of the sector is the 56%
population that do not have Level 3 systems. 45% of which have access to Level 1 systems
that may either be safe or unsafe. This is a large part of the population which is yet to be
addressed by the government. Initiatives and efforts so far have not been very successful,
even with other organizations providing assistance e.g., NGOs through CBOs. Absence of data
however is prevalent. While there are assumptions that some areas are appropriate to have
Level 1 system, there are no studies conducted to support the appropriate choice of the type
of service level to be implemented.
Attempts at establishing a complete database of WSPs and determining total access by service
levels has not been successful. Although there was a good initiative by way of Listahang Tubig
to identify all service providers, the objectives of having a realistic and complete database has
not been realized.
 Need to enhance the performance of fragmented WDs, LGU-led water

utilities, and CBO-NGO-led water utility companies
The water suppliers outside Mega Manila not covered by WDs are highly fragmented with
multiple service providers ranging from LGU run water utilities, BWSAs and RWSAs, water
cooperatives, CBOs and privately-owned and managed WSPs, and small scale WSPs with less
than 500 service connections. Efficiency in their performance is a challenge especially for the
LGU-led water utilities (Level 3) and Level 2 water utility companies.
In addition, the Supreme Court ruling in 1991 creating WDs as local GOCCs was a disincentive
to performing well. When the WDs became a regular local GOCC under the Supreme Court
(SC) Ruling of 1991, it is believed that some of the WDs may have lost the motivation to
perform well specifically in terms of expanding service coverage. As a local GOCC, the
employees of the WDs are subject to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Civil
Service Commission (CSC) and Commission on Audit (COA) regulations unlike when they were
Page 5 of 224
still operating commercially prior to the implementation of the SC 1991 ruling. There was little
incentive for good performance not until recently, when the Governance Commission for
GOCCs implemented performance-based bonus schemes for LWUA and the WDs.
 Need for technical, administrative, management and financial support to

incentivize GOCCs, WDs and utility companies for water supply expansion
Funds are needed to expand operations for water supply and access. Many non-WDs (e.g.
LGU-run systems) are not properly set up and are not operated as business enterprises.
Most low performing water districts that have not expanded remain to be financially struggling.
While WDs cover the majority of the cities and municipalities with a total of 748 (515
operational and 233 non-operational) established as of 2015, total coverage is still fairly low.
As of end of 2015, total population served averages a little over 50% with some regions at
just above 32% (Region 2). Many of these WDs have been established for over a long period
of time but have failed to expand due to technical, administrative, management and financial
challenges. Some WDs, mostly belonging to Category D (with less than 3,000 connections),
are not financially capable to obtain financing from LWUA to fund their expansion. During the
time when LWUA’s interest rates were still in the range of 10%-14%, it was not possible for
most WDs in this category to afford the cost of borrowing.
In the case of non-operational or non-functional WDs, 231 remained non-functional to this

date out of 748 established water districts as of 2015. Majority of the non-functional water
districts were those established between the period between 2008-2011, at a time when
LWUA was marred by controversies of corruption. Allegedly, a certain number of WDs were
hastily formed during the said period without the benefit of a project evaluation, institutional
and technical support in the preparation of the WDs. Funds were provided for the initial
construction of the water system but later on had to be discontinued because the projects
were found not to be financially or technically feasible. In some cases, the municipalities where
the WDs were formed are too far flung and are difficult to reach; hence follow up visits were
not made and assistance from LWUA was discontinued. For some reasons, LWUA failed to
follow the usual steps for setting up and developing WDs for expansion. In addition, the
provision under PD 198 that the creation of a local WD as optional prevented the LWUA from
setting up more WDs.
2.1.2.2 Planning and Development Issues
 Lack of a lead agency for policy making, planning and development of the
sector.
The PWSSR has not been fully implemented and no documented monitoring has been
conducted. The proposed bill creating an apex body, proposed Department of Water, has been
proposed, and yet to be legislated. This body is envisioned to lead the policy making, planning
and development of the water sector.
 Need to harmonize and standardize set of systems and procedures for the
financial, technical and commercial operations among LGU-led water
utilities and CBO-BWSA led water utilities.
The WSPs do not have a harmonized and standardized set of systems and procedures for their
financial, technical and commercial operations. There is a need to rationalize all of them for
Page 6 of 224
monitoring and evaluation, as input to proper planning and investment programming for the
sector.
 Need to capacitate staff to develop required skills on water supply and

sanitation on a regular and continuing basis. Capacity building of LGU run
water utilities is not institutionalized.
Capacity building of LGU-run water utilities is not institutionalized. It can be argued that the
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), and to a limited extent, the NationaL
Water Resources Board (NWRB), are addressing institutional development needs that are not
covered by LWUA through their capacity building programs. Often, these water utilities are
not appropriately staffed with professionals with the required skills set, and proper training on
a regular continuing basis for the trainers and participants is needed.
Many capacity building programs have been provided and continue to be provided to LGU-led
water utilities and similar WSPs. However, it is difficult to assess if these programs have at all
been effective in developing the capacities to achieve efficiency in their processes toward
more financially sustainable operations.
Most capacity building initiatives are implemented through projects and is not an
institutionalized process where capacity development is monitored and measured. For
example, when a recipient LGU is included in a program, it is very unlikely that the progress
of the said LGU is monitored and assessed should a follow-up intervention arise. This is evident
because the DILG Office of Project Development Services (OPDS) does not have an
institutionalized and focused system of monitoring and reviewing the participants progress
under its programs. The assessment is done on a per project/program basis, and not based
on the achievement of a required skill/capacity.
2.1.2.3 Financing
 Need for technical, administrative, management and financial support to

incentivize GOCCs, WDs and utility companies for water supply expansion
Funds are needed to expand operations for water supply and access. Unlike Water Districts,
non-water districts, like most LGU-led water utilities are not properly set up and are not
operated as business enterprises.
Most low performing water districts that have not expanded remain to be financially struggling.
While water districts cover the majority of the cities and municipalities with a total of 748 (515
operational and 233 non-operational) established as of 2015, total coverage is still fairly low.
As of end of 2015, total population served averages a little over 50% with some regions at
just above 32% (Region 2).
2.1.2.4 Regulation
 Water service provision and regulations have become politicized in some

areas due to existing policies.
The provision under the Local Government Code gave full control to LGUs over water supply
services and enabled water to be politicized. Further, the provision in PD 198 that stated the
creation of WDs as optional did not help in the promotion, while national level that checks and
balances LGU-led water utilities are also self-regulated.
Page 7 of 224
 Weak or lack of regulation and oversight over water service providers

mainly WDs that are entering into or have entered into PPP arrangements.
The number of WDs going into JV agreements for distribution is growing. Since the issuance
of the amended NEDA JV guidelines, 13 contracts for water distribution have been awarded
and five more are currently under negotiations.7 Of the total transactions – completed and on-
going, reportedly none of these transactions had the benefit of an independent review. While
PPP and other forms of private sector participation (PSP) is seen to be a part of the solution
for increasing access to water supply, there is a growing concern that consumer rights might
be jeopardized if there is no strong regulatory oversight on PPP proposals.
LWUA for its part, being the de facto in charge of WDs, initiated the preparation of guidelines
governing the review and approval of PPP proposals but the guidelines were limited to the
review of tariff. In March 2016, an Aide Memoire was prepared by NEDA Infrastructure Staff,
a copy of which is attached as Appendix G for reference on the same subject matter but did
not contain any specific recommendations on regulation.8
 Changes in leadership in LWUA affected its efficiency to regulate and ability

to assist/develop water districts.
The many changes in leadership in LWUA affected its efficiency to deliver and its ability to
assist/develop WDs. It was also perceived that there was also not enough pressure coming
from LWUA at a time when the agency was having its own problems during various changes
in leadership and confusion in its role as a financier and/or regulator. With the big role that
LWUA plays in the institutional development of the WDs, the WDs in turn were directly affected
with the challenges that LWUA faced over the years.
2.1.2.5 Water Resource and Security Issues
 Water Resource Management
The social, economic and environmental future of the Philippines depends on how well its
natural resources are managed, water being in the forefront. Economic development, in both
the rural and urban areas cause the increasing competition on water uses – agriculture, water
supply, industrial and commercial uses, to also include recreational.
Seasonal variability, aggravated by climate change – rural to urban migration, greater

industrial and commercial demands, needed increase in agricultural productivity, and other
drivers of change cause increased competing requirements for clean, safe and affordable
water. Climate variability now brings intense rainfall or lesser than normal rainfall, now
becoming more difficult to predict either floods or droughts.
 Water Security and Water Use
Water is a resource under serious threat: population growth, economic development and
improved standard of living are putting serious pressure on both water source extraction,
optimized utilization and service delivery systems.
7 LWUA List of WDs with PPP arrangements, 2016

8 Water District Projects under the PPP Scheme: Observations and Preliminary Recommendations, 2017
Page 8 of 224
Rapid population growth and necessitating corresponding heightened economic activity is a

threat to timely water availability. Increasing demand without the infrastructure and low
service efficiencies create a supply-demand imbalance.
In areas where groundwater is the primary source, over-extraction has been observed,
affecting operational cost (pumping energy) and water quality (declining water table of wells
along coastal areas would lead to salinity intrusion). Springs with uncontrolled usage could
dry up; poorly kept and unmaintained spring sources could lead to contamination.
Threats from domestic, agricultural and industrial wastes. Without proper drainage (surface
and sub-surface drains), leaching of agro-chemical and animal wastes contaminate agro-
industrial areas. Absence of proper sanitation facilities contaminate groundwater through
infiltration; surface water bodies are direct receptacles of septic water mixing with run-off.
The NWRB is the sole government agency who has the mandate of issuing water permits (or
rights for the utilization of water). By virtue of law and policy declaration, all water in the
Philippines are owned by the State and having water permits is a privilege granted to Philippine
users.
2.1.2.6 Climate Risks and Geologic Hazards
The Philippines ranked 3rd in the World Risk Index as having the highest disaster risk based
on the following four components: exposure to natural hazards, vulnerability, coping
capacities, and adapting capacities. At the same time, the country’s exposure to natural
hazards also earned it the title as the 3rd highest most exposed country (World Risk Report
2017). This can be attributed to the fact that the Philippines is highly exposed to both geologic
and climate hazards.
A geologic hazard is an extreme natural event in the crust of the earth that poses a threat to
life and property, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis (tidal waves) and
landslides. They can either be sudden phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes
and landslides or gradual such as land subsidence. Because the country is situated in a highly
seismic area along the ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’ where two major tectonic plates (Philippine Sea
and Eurasian) meet, it is highly prone to earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. There
are over 300 volcanoes in the country. As of 2012, PHIVOLCS listed 23 as active with 21
having historical eruptions in the last 600 years. On average, five earthquakes occur daily.
Destructive earthquakes occur less frequently but are very damaging. At the same time, the
country also lies along the typhoon belt in the Pacific. The Philippines experiences an average
of 20 typhoons a year, 5 of which are destructive. Typhoons that form in the Pacific Ocean
move towards the west or northwest directly threatening the Philippines. Those that form in
the South China Sea moves northward or towards northeast also affecting the Philippines.
(PAGASA) These typhoons produce strong winds and heavy rains that result in floods,
landslides and storm surges.
The Philippines is also challenged by various climate hazards such as rainfall variability,
increasing temperature, sea level rise and extreme weather conditions (i.e. temperatures that
are above 35C, rainfall higher than the 30-year average of an area and typhoons stronger
than the 30-year average). “PAGASA projections using different scenarios agree that there
will generally be an increase in rainfall for 2020 and 2050. The same models also agree that
there will increased peak rainfall during the wet seasons and longer dry conditions during the
dry seasons. This however differs in the different regions of the country with some parts of
Page 9 of 224
the country showing a decreasing total rainfall. This rainfall variability translates directly to
changes in water supply dynamics.
Water supply is very vulnerable to variability in river flows and the replenishment rate of
groundwater. Changing rainfall patterns could mean lower flows resulting in water shortages.
Intense rainfall may not replenish the groundwater as much as when rainfall is spread evenly
across the year. Lower than average and/or prolonged dry days during the dry months may
affect soil porosity and vegetation leading to reduced soil infiltration and lower groundwater
recharge. Extreme rainfall enhances surface run-offs and in steep areas, could trigger
landslides.
On the other hand, while there is no conclusive trend that Tropical Cyclones are becoming
more intense, three typhoons with the highest ever recorded maximum gustiness (i.e.
Typhoons Remng, Loleng and Yolanda) in the last 20 years hit the Philippines causing major
disruptions to water service and substantial damages to water infrastructure.
From 1951-2010, there has been an increasing trend in annual mean temperature. The
number of hot days has been increasing while the number of cold nights has been decreasing.
Climate projections show that the Philippines will be even warmer in the future, relative to the
baseline climate: 1971–2000. Under the mid-range scenarios, climate projections show
increases in annual mean temperatures by 0.9°C to 1.1°C in the 2020s and1.8°C to 2.2°C in
the 2050s. The dry season will be even hotter. Higher temperatures which will increase
evapotranspiration as well as longer and more intense droughts will add more stress to sources
of freshwater while increasing the demand for water.
Sea level rise is also of major concern to the country especially since as reported by the World
Meteorological Organization in 2015, the highest sea level rise in the last century occurred in
the Philippines (at 3 times the global average). It could contaminate freshwater sources as
well as put at risk many water infrastructure in the coastal areas.
These climate and geologic hazards have to be addressed to lessen the risk to the
sustainability of the country’s water resources.
Government Response
2.1.3.1 Policy and Program Reforms in the Water Sector from 1973-present
From 1973 to 2015, the government has undertaken a number of significant reform programs
to address the various issues and challenges in the water and sanitation sector towards
increased access and improved service delivery. Whilst there was a substantial increase in
overall access, looking closely at how this access is broken down and in terms of quality of
service, it appears that the reforms have not made any significant gains in the past
The figure below captures the various reforms that were introduced, programs and projects
that were undertaken under different administration since the introduction of PD 198 in 1973.
The diagram is based in part on the report of the World Bank’s Diagnostic Study of the
Philippine Water Supply Sector Study updated through this study to reflect the developments
after 2010.

Many of these reform initiatives have been implemented fully. Some have been partially
implemented while others have remained at study level for approval and implementation.
Under these reforms, four programs can be considered major in scope and objectives. These
four reform initiatives are displayed in the following table.

Of the major reforms in the above table, the creation of a national water regulatory remain to
be realized. The diagram illustrates the reforms that were proposed to establish a single
economic regulator for the water supply sector.
There have been several attempts and proposals to create a national economic regulator for
all water utilities. It was hoped that a national regulator would hold all WSPs accountable by
setting standards for service and access, and by monitoring compliance. It was also planned
that a regulator would be an avenue to require all utilities to adopt cost recovery policies and
ensure a viable operation while keeping tariffs at reasonable and affordable levels.
Page 12 of 224
2.1.3.2 Creation of the Department of Water
The PDP for 2017-2022 noted that “despite the abundance of water resources and the many
efforts to utilize and manage these, service remains inadequate”. Many government agencies
in the water sector actually contribute to increasing access to water supply (among the poor
and the disadvantaged) but these are largely done in silos.” Thus, it stated that “The primary
strategy for the water resources sector is to address its fragmented structure through the
creation of an apex body and the formulation of master plans that will foster coordinated
efforts across the country.” It further states that the government will enhance the capacities
of concerned entities in developing and managing water-related projects; and existing laws
and regulations on water resources will be reviewed and strengthened.
To highlight this issue, data from hydrologic surveys, groundwater assessments, and
monitoring of stream flows and rainfall are supposed to be integrated and consolidated to
provide a scientific basis for policy-making, planning and regulating water use. But these are
being done by different agencies and the data is not shared. There is no centralized database
for all water-related data and information which hinders the effective management of the
water resource.
Water supply services are being provided by MWSS (for the expanded Metro Manila area),
LWUA through the WDs under its jurisdiction, DILG through its Salintubig program which
provides grants for water services to waterless barangays, waterless health centers, and
waterless resettlement sites; the Department of Social Work and Development (DSWD) for
waterless barangays within its -Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated
Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDDS) program, the Department of Agraria Reform (DAR)
for waterless agrarian reform beneficiaries which are part of KALAHI-CIDDS, and the Tourism
Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) for priority tourism areas. There are also
some smaller water service providers (like subdivisions) and WDs which choose to register
with the NWRB and not with LWUA. In addition, there are LGU-run water supply systems at
the city/municipal, metro-level, regional and barangay levels. All these are being done without
any coordination and guidance from a long-term plan to improve overall access to safe water
in the country. There is also the problem of which agency oversees and monitors the
performance of all these local service providers and provides continuing technical assistance
to ensure their sustainability.
Furthermore, there are many agencies involved in the provision of water infrastructure– DPWH
for flood control and drainage, the National Irrigation Authority (NIA) for irrigation systems,
the National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR) for dams which support hydropower plants, the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Bureau of Soils and Water
Management (BSWM) and LGUs for small water impounding systems. For water quality, the
Department of Health (DOH) sets the standards for drinking water while the DENR through
its Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) sets the effluent standards and also the water
quality guidelines used for classifying different water bodies in the country.
All in all, over 30 government units and agencies at national and local levels implement
separate policies, plans and programs to develop and operate water facilities and
infrastructure for various uses, regulate water use and set tariffs, and monitor water-related
parameters. There is an urgent need for an integrated and coordinated planning and
implementation of programs and projects to promote sustainable and science-based
management of the country’s water resources that would respond to reduced water availability,
declining water quality, recurrent flooding, and other water-related issues in many parts of
the country. This need has become urgent considering that as the country progresses, the
Page 13 of 224
population increases, and as climate change brings more extreme weather events, there will
develop, as has been experienced, keener competition and conflict of interests among water
users, especially in areas already identified as water-stressed.
The creation of an apex body which will ensure that the conservation, utilization, control and
management of water resources shall be undertaken in a comprehensive, integrated and
coordinated manner is being proposed. This apex body, to be called the Department of Water
(DoW), will be a line agency which will ensure a comprehensive, well-integrated and
coordinated planning and execution of water projects, including the continuing task of water
resources survey and appraisal, to achieve an orderly and scientific development as well
optimum utilization and control of our water resources to meet the present and future water
needs of the country.
The Department will be responsible for the control, management and protection of the
country’s water resources for domestic water supply, sanitation, irrigation, hydropower,
fisheries, aquaculture, flood control, navigation and recreation, including the enhancement
and maintenance of water quality for ecosystem protection. At its core will be the NWRB,
which was actually created to be the apex body for water management when it was created
by virtue of PD 424 in 1974 as the National Water Resources Council. As such, it will absorb
all the Regulatory and Executory and Advisory and Recommendatory functions, powers and
duties of the NWRC stated in Section 2 of PD424. This regulatory role is based on the provision
of the Water Code of the Philippines (PD 198 in 1973) which states that “the utilization,
exploitation, development, control, conservation or protection of water resources shall be
subject to the control and regulation of the government through the National Water Resources
Council”.
Table 2-8: Functions, Duties and Powers of NWRB in accordance with PD 424
1. Regulatory and Executory
a. Coordinate and integrate, on a sound and logical basis, water resources development
activities of the country within the context of national plans and policies for social and
economic development;
b. Determine, adjudicate, and grant water rights amending, for this purpose, Act No. 2152, and
other laws relating to the appropriation and utilization of surface and ground water;
c. Formulate and promulgate:
 General criteria, methods, and standards for basic data collection, project investigation,
formulation, planning and design, and feasibility evaluation; and
 Rules and regulation for the exploitation and optimum utilization of water resources,
including the imposition on water appropriators of such fees or charges as may be
deemed necessary by the Council for water resources development;
d. Review and approve water resources development plans and programs of any agency within
the context of the overall national plans and program;
e. Undertake river basin survey, inventory and appraisal of water and related resources and
develop comprehensive basin-wide plans of storage and control to maximize the
conservation and multi-purpose use of water in the basin;
f. Undertake hydrologic surveys and establish, operate and maintain observation station
networks and a centralized water resources data center necessary for the scientific survey
and appraisal of surface and ground water potentials of the country; and
g. Conduct and/or promote special studies and researches with other government or private
agencies on all related aspects of water resources development such as weather
modification, environmental quality, desalination and the like.
2. Advisory and Recommendatory
Page 14 of 224
a. Apprise and/or advise the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) on matters
pertaining to water resources development projects and programs;
b. Recommend to NEDA the adoption of general policies and guidelines and short/long range
plans and programs for water resources development.
On Water Supply. It is recommended that all water supply provision now being undertaken
by different agencies/units shall be under the scope of the DoW. As such the water supply
services function and unit of the DILG, the project management office (PMO) on water and
sanitation will be absorbed by the Department. LWUA and MWSS will be attached to the DoW.
The roles and responsibilities of the LGUs for LGU-run water system will be retained but will
be subject to the standards, performance indicators and targets set forth by the PWSSMP.
Their performance will be monitored by the Department with appropriate sanctions for non-
performance consistent with existing national laws, rule and regulations.
On Sanitation. Since it is now recognized that water and sanitation (which goes beyond the
provision of toilets to actually ensuring the sewage or septage from the septic tanks are
properly treated on site or off-site as defined in the SDGs) should be integrated, the
Department will also absorb the sanitation functions (specifically sewerage, sewage and
septage management) and units of the DOH. This will mean the amendment of some sections
of the Sanitation Code of the country.
As pointed out in The Clean Water Act, whoever provides the water service must also provide
the sanitation services. Institutionally therefore, the agency in charge of water supply should
also be the same agency as the one of in charge of sanitation.
On Water Resources Management. Since it is agreed that integrated water resources

management (IWRM) is the framework for effective, efficient and sustainable water resources
management, then the new Department should also have control and supervision over
irrigation (the biggest user of water now at 79.9%) and flood control since flood waters/run
offs should be considered part of the country’s water resources (to be gathered, stored and
used and if needed, treated first before it is used. NIA is to be attached to the Department
while the PMO on major flood control projects and function of DPWH should likewise be
absorbed by the Department.
In addition, if IWRM is to be operationalized, the river basin or island as maybe appropriate

shall be used as the basic unit for management planning. All other sectoral management units
(e.g. Water Quality Management Area, etc.) shall be consistent with river basin or island
management. As such, the River Basin Coordinating Office (RBCO) of the DENR shall be
absorbed by the Department. This is crucial since planning and resource regulation should go
hand-in-hand, that is, allocation of water and the consequent issuance of permits should be
based on strategic planning of water resources within a river-basin. The Laguna Lake
Development Authority (LLDA) will be attached to the Department.
On Water Quality. The pollution of water bodies from various sources undermines the
availability of freshwater for all users, adversely affects the health of the people and the
ecosystem (including biodiversity) and the livelihood of fisherfolks. Preventing pollution from
all point (including aquaculture) and non-point sources (such as agriculture and land
development) should now be prioritized. Water quality management should therefore be part
of the new Department. Right now, this function is being undertaken by the DENR-EMB and
the LLDA both under the DENR, the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) under the
Office of the President.
Page 15 of 224
It is proposed that setting of Effluent Standards and Guidelines for Classifying Water Bodies
be retained by the DENR-EMB but water quality management which includes the permitting
and monitoring functions of the Water Quality Section of the EMB be absorbed by the
Department. The Manila Bay Coordinating Office (MBCO) which now coordinates efforts of 13
government agencies to comply with the Supreme Court Mandamus Order to clean up Manila
Bay shall also be absorbed by the Department. The PRRC will transferred from the Office of
the President and attached to the Department.
On Water Assessment/Surveys. The groundwater assessment function of the Mines and

Geosciences Bureau (MGB) of the DENR and by the NWRB, the stream flow monitoring of the
Bureau of Design of DPWH shall be transferred to the Department. PAGASA will continue to
monitor rainfall. But all the data gathered be collated and integrated into one centralized data
base of the Department to allow for a comprehensive analysis and science-based policy-
making and planning for water resources allocation, water infrastructure etc. This centralized
water database is to be linked with the PSA and be made accessible to the public.
On Regulations. Many agencies with water related functions also have regulatory powers
pertaining to different aspects of water resources management. Among others, there’s the
MWSS Regulatory Office which regulates the two concessionaires of MWSS, LWUA for WDs,
NWRB for water permittees, the EMB for water quality management, the LLDA for resource
development and water quality management.
It has long been proposed that all economic regulation be consolidated under a Water
Regulatory Commission (WRC). That way, the new Department will be in charge of resource
regulation while the WRC will handle economic regulation. However, the draft bill creating
the WRC has been pending in Congress for many years. Until such time that the WRC is
established, as a transitory arrangement, the new Department of Water can take on all these
regulatory functions.
In summary, the table below lists the agencies/units that are to be either attached to or to be
absorbed by the proposed Department.

2.2 Sanitation Sector

Sanitation Sector Performance
2.2.1.1 Sanitation Access and Coverage
Sanitation access redefined. Reporting access to sanitation and service coverage is mainly
influenced by the country’s reporting to the global MDGs, which have now transformed to the
SDGs. Unfortunately, monitoring of access to sanitation at present doesn’t include statistics
or information on number or type of existing sanitation facilities, number or type of sanitation
service providers, and household or people served by different sanitation facilities. In the past,
reporting under the MDGs only involved access to basic sanitation or the availability of sanitary
toilets. The SDGs now have qualified access by designating sanitary toilets as either safely
managed, limited, and unimproved. The SDGs provide the following definitions:
 Safely Managed - use of improved facilities which are not shared with other
households and where excreta are safely disposed of in situ or transported and treated
off-site.
 Basic - use of improved facilities which are not shared with other households.
 Limited - use of improved facilities shared between two or more households.
 Unimproved - use of pit latrines without a slab or platform, hanging latrines or bucket
latrines.
 Open Defecation - disposal of human feces in fields, forests, bushes, open bodies of
water, beaches and other open spaces or with solid waste.
 Improved facilities include: flush/pour flush to piped sewer system, septic tanks or
pit latrine; ventilated improved pit latrines, composting toilets or pit latrines with slabs
PSA reporting needs to align with the SDGs. Following is a snapshot of a Sanitation Report
(Toilet Facilities) from the Philippine Statistics Authority for the Year 2015. This is before the
SDGs took effect.

The data from the PSA using the SDG format shows that access to safely managed sanitary
toilets is at 74% in 2015. There is an additional 20% to cover for basic or limited sanitation.
Unimproved sanitation overall in 2015 is about 2% while open defecation or households with
no access to a toilet is at 4%. The highest access to improved sanitation in 2015 is found in
Region 4-A Calabarzon (88%), followed by the NCR (85%), Region 3 Central Luzon (82%),
Region 10 Northern Mindanao (80%), and Region 13 Caraga (77%). These are all above the
national average of 73.77%, the rest of the regions following behind and below the national
average.
PSA sanitation report does not match what is reported by the JMP for sanitation access in the
Philippines. This may be due to the definition of terms used to capture and record access.

In the roster of nine countries from Southeast Asia, the Philippines is the fourth country with
the lowest access to basic sanitation in 2015 on a national scale faring better than Cambodia,
Indonesia, and Myanmar. The Philippines trails behind the countries of Brunei Darussalam,
Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam in 2015. In the year 2000, the ranking was
practically the same except that Myanmar was ahead of the Philippines by 3 percentage points
while Vietnam was behind the Philippines by 14 percentage points. Only Malaysia and
Singapore have attained 100% coverage of basic sanitation in 2015.
In terms of open defecation in 2015, the Philippines (at 6%) is the third SEA country with the
highest incidence of open defecation next to Cambodia (41%) and Indonesia (12%). It was
the same open defecation ranking for the Philippines in the year 2000, only tied with Myanmar
at 11%. Ahead was Cambodia at 83%, Indonesia at 32%, and Vietnam at 18%. All have
improved in the open defecation ranking, particularly notable is Malaysia, Singapore, and
Thailand which has 0% open defecation rank.
Majority of households that need to improve basic sanitation is in Mindanao.
For basic sanitation, which include limited and shared facilities, the highest access in 2015 is
found in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) (49%), followed by those above
the national average of 20% in Region 12 SOCCSKSARGEN (48%), Region 2 Cagayan Valley
(40.5%), Region 11 Davao (27%), Region 1 Ilocos (25%), and Region 9 Zamboanga Peninsula
(20.3%). In these areas, local governments and communities would need to invest on
constructing more onsite and offsite wastewater treatment facilities. Four of the top six regions
needing to provide septage and wastewater treatment and whose basic sanitation coverage
is above the national average come from Mindanao.
Most pressing sanitation concern is to eliminate unimproved sanitation and open

defecation.
Unimproved sanitation still exists and is about 2% nationwide in 2015. This is highest in ARMM
(11.78%) followed by CAR Cordillera Administrative Region (8%), Region 2 Cagayan Valley
Page 22 of 224
(7%), Region 12 SOCCSKSARGEN (6%), Region 9 Zamboanga Peninsula (5.2%), Region 6

Western Visayas (3.6%), Region 10 Northern Mindanao (3.3%), and Region 4-B Mimaropa
(2.2%). These areas indicate poor accomplishment in and low priority for constructing sanitary
toilets and septic tanks.
Open defecation still exists in the country as 4.23% of the population or around 4.3 million
people are still without access to sanitary facilities in 2015. This is highest in ARMM (18.3%),
Region 5 Bicol (11.9%), Region 7 Central Visayas (8.5%), Region 6 Western Visayas (8.3%),
Region 4-B Mimaropa (6.4%), Region 13 Caraga (4.6%), and Region 12 SOCCSKSARGEN
(4.6%). These areas are where open defecation rates are all above the national average and
where programs on construction of sanitary toilets and septic tanks are sorely needed.

2.2.1.2 Technical and Financial Operating Performance
Sanitation Service Providers. For sanitary toilets and onsite treatment systems to be
considered safely managed, wastewater and septage (sludge content of the septic tanks)
coming from these systems should be treated and disposed of properly. It is the responsibility
of households and communities that toilets and septic tanks are constructed as part of the
compliance to the National Building Code. These onsite systems need to be maintained and
serviced by a service provider. Sanitation service then means desludging or emptying of septic
tanks and provision of sewerage services, sometimes collectively referred to as wastewater
management or fecal sludge management service. This service includes collection or
conveyance, onsite or offsite treatment, and final disposal of wastewater, fecal sludge, or
septage.
Sanitation service providers in Mega-Manila are the two MWSS Concessionaires, Maynilad
Water for the West Zone and Manila Water for the East Zone. Their coverage areas are as
follows:

By contract, 15% of the total projected service connections should be scheduled or

programmed in a year, considering a seven-year cycle. However only 30 to 40 % of the
scheduled customers are served while the rest are unserved or have opted to sign a waiver.
The waiver states that the customer is relinquishing his claim on the desludging service and
releases the concessionaire from any responsibility of providing the service. It is implied that
Page 25 of 224
the concessionaires do not provide wastewater collection and treatment service to non-
customers.
Outside Mega-Manila, sanitation service providers are principally comprised of WDs, LGU-run
water utilities, private sector service providers, and cooperative-run service providers. Private
service providers are popularly known as Malabanan or Pozo Negro. Their services generally
remain a private business activity and for-profit. Recently, new private players are emerging
to provide sanitation services and comply with existing regulations from DOH, the EMB, and
other local ordinances of the LGUs.
The duly registered private service providers report their activities to the LGUs they serve and
the Regional Health Offices of DOH for obtaining and renewing their Environmental Sanitation
Clearance (CHD). By law, service providers can operate only in the areas that are stated and
approved in their registration.
As of writing, there is no known data or survey of sanitation service providers outside of Mega-
Manila. Unofficially, there are about 25 septage treatment facilities constructed all over the
country at various stages of operation, some done by LGUs, most done by WDs. A rough
estimation of performance of service delivery in the country is shown below:
Table 2-15: Estimation of Sanitation Performance Delivery

Mega-Manila 76.48%
Total for Mega-Manila 14,868,425 14.72%
Outside Mega-Manila 3.76%

Total for Mega-Manila 12,877,253 12.75%
Outside Mega-Manila 0.12%
Total for Outside Mega-Manila 101,883 0.10%
NATIONAL COVERAGE (SEPTAGE) 12,979,136 12.85%
In 2015, approximately 77% of what constitute as Mega-Manila is geographically covered by

the two concessionaires already with their septage management programs. This roughly
translates to 15% of the population of the entire country. However, not all are customers of
the two concessionaires. The desludging or septic tank emptying service is provided only to
customers or connected households or commercial buildings, hence the lower performance
results. For sewerage systems, 67% is geographically covered by the combined sewerage
system being operated by the two concessionaires. This constitutes 13% of the national
population. Again, this program is available only to customers. However, not all are customers
of the two concessionaires and therefore not connected to the system. For outside Mega-
Page 26 of 224
Manila, septage management is available to the equivalent of 3% of the national population,

while for sewerage system, only 0.10% of the national population is served. This represents
the technical and financial predisposition of the existing sanitation service providers in the
country.
Sector Issues, Constraints, and Challenges
Sanitation is a neglected sector but fast gaining importance and attention. Despite that the
Clean Water Act was passed as early as 2004, program focus on improving sewage, septage,
and sludge treatment or wastewater management in general has been very slow. The biggest
issue faced by the sector is the lack of awareness of the public (sanitation in improving the
quality of life, safeguarding health, and protecting the environment). There is a need to
institutionalize a more streamlined governance and planning structure for sanitation, including
provision of technical and financial assistance and in identifying specific sanitation strategies
and policy directives to guide local implementers in the implementation.
The assessment of the sector performance for sanitation through the years was limited to the
monitoring of sanitary toilets especially in the countryside. This is done regardless of the
condition and construction design of the said facilities as well as whether they are connected
to an onsite or offsite treatment system. Now in the period covered by the SDGs, the push for
safely managed sanitation facilities is advocated. The following table shows the Top 10 issues
identified during the consultation process for the PWSSMP and some recommended solutions
for each issue.

for septage and sewerage septage and sewerage; say DOH and LWUA
supporting smaller WSPs
Incongruent reporting from local to national to global Reconcile and agree on required reporting for
PDP and SDG; clarify definitions; (take up with
PSA)

No stronger guidelines and impetus for LGUs and Compel LGUs to develop ordinances to
their councils to develop and pass sanitation-related implement sanitation programs (DILG, Envi.
ordinances Ombudsman, DENR)
No unified national promotion support to highlight Develop national promotions program with
need for sanitation and wastewater management support of "veteran" providers like MWSS,
Maynilad, Manila Water, DOH
General orientation on need to do both water supply Orient LGUs and WSPs that for developing
and wastewater treatment program (sanitation) at water supply projects, wastewater treatment
same time or integrated fashion should be considered
Page 27 of 224
The issues mentioned above, and other issues, constraints, and challenges identified by the
PWSSMP can be summarized into four broad categories below.
2.2.2.1 Institutional and Governance Issues
 No single agency is responsible for leading the Sanitation Sector.
The lack of a dedicated lead agency leads to compromised planning and lack of direction due
to uncoordinated, unfocused, and confusing program. There is no sense of urgency to meet
targets and no one is held accountable for the lackluster performance of the sector. This
includes the lack of mainstreaming work on the SDG targets and other relevant policies and
guidelines for better implementation on the ground.
 Incongruent, deficient, and conflicted planning and reporting process.
Local implementers are tasked by different line agencies to prepare various and differently
formatted sanitation plans in aid of the budgeting process. With minimal guidance, particularly
on what is the government’s strategy to meet both the PDP and SDG commitments, there is
no synergy in pursuing and gathering results, and reporting to the regional, national, and
global agencies. Local implementers are burdened by multiple plan requirements and
oftentimes at a lost on what they need to pursue. Planning and execution for water supply
and sanitation projects is not done in an integrated manner. Proper planning and research on
non-point sources and complex wastewater is practically non-existent. And reporting of
sanitation access is not aligned with the PDP and the SDGs.
 Very low awareness and buy-in from the public and the local implementing
officials.
On both sides of the demand for and supply of sanitation services, officials and local
constituents remain oblivious if not downright indifferent on the importance of developing and
implementing programs and policies like septage and sewerage ordinances and to participate
in the program. This is tied to the very minimal and uncoordinated promotions campaign that
government should be doing, more targeted and wider scale. No compelling actions are
performed to shift the need to comply to environmental programs to the public and local
communities. It is not enough that local governments and service providers accomplish their
mandated tasks. A consistent and long-term sanitation promotions campaign is poorly
executed and are haphazard one-off events.
 Limited information on sanitation technologies.
There is a dearth of information on working technologies and approaches in wastewater

management. Entry of innovative technologies and design and construction approaches are
restrictive in this country and research and development is not pursued or even mainstreamed.
Many local scientists and engineers remain untapped by government to provide solutions to
local sanitation issues. The education sector is oblivious on what needs to be taught in local
curricula to espouse appropriate sanitation solutions in households and communities.
 Capacity development is not well-coordinated.
There is no central agency or an inter-agency training tool for developing capacities of LGUs
and WSPs on sanitation. Very few investments are made to mainstream the need to plan,
Page 28 of 224
design, implement, monitor, operate, and maintain sanitation programs and projects in local
governments and sanitation service providers. This is mainly because there is no central
agency pursuing and harmonizing efforts to reach identified goals and coordinate with other
programs of government. An effective capacity development program remains an afterthought
in many development projects.
 Development and implementation of sanitation programs is politicized.
Given that the political system in the country encourages and most of the time requires local
officials to be jack of all trades and perform tasks beyond their knowledge and skill sets, we
see conflicts rising between local government officials and the WD management, which has
become common in the country. An emerging trend is when two or more service providers
develop and implement systems in practically in the same area on the behest of local officials,
thereby creating legal battles and wasted resources. Water supply and sanitation services are
being made as political collateral during election season, and sanitation tariffs are
compromised due to perceived potential backlash from voters. All these prevents for an
effective and efficient delivery of sanitation services to the public.
2.2.2.2 Financing
 There is limited financial support and programs to spur sanitation projects.
Current financing support from national government provides financial support only to highly
urbanized cities (HUCs), cities, and first-class municipalities and to LGUs only. There is no
access to grant financing by lower class LGUs and WDs for septage treatment and sewerage
projects. The current requirement to propose and implement septage and sewage treatment
facilities and sewerage systems is plenty and the financing requirement that goes with it is
staggering. Based on computation of the needs, annual investments for sanitation comes to
around Php10 to 25 billion or roughly Php15 billion per year. And this was the amount of
money budgeted for the sanitation sector in recent years. Unfortunately, only a third of this
was spent on the sector. This could be because of assorted reasons from poor disbursement
programs, to lack of bankable sanitation projects, and overall lack of urgency and drive to
include sanitation in the development agenda.
 Zero to low interest to do PPP for sanitation.
There is a lack of definitive guidance for LGUs and private companies who would like to
undertake PPP Agreements on sanitation and wastewater management. Many sees sanitation
as a new area and laden with lots of uncertainties. There is also limited information on the
type of investments that are needed and the extent of government support and regulations
that can come into the picture. There is very few discussion on implementing fiscal and non-
fiscal incentives to involve the private sector in the sanitation sector.
2.2.2.3 Regulation
 No clear guidance on regulating the sector.
LGUs and prospective local implementers are disincentivized to invest in the sector because
of no clear guidance on regulation for sanitation projects, such as setting tariff, service
performance standards, design standards, operational performance standards, registration
and monitoring, incentives to include missionary areas, etc. The few that comes from DOH,
DPWH, DILG, DENR, and LWUA are generic, has many grey areas, loopholes that is open to
Page 29 of 224
abuse, conflicting, and most of the times onerous. This cloud of uncertainty prevents a more
robust participation from local implementers and prospective service providers.
 Regulation on practice directed only to service providers and not really to

compel public to participate.
Non-compliance of households in the provision of toilets and septic tanks and open defecation
are required by specific provisions in the law but local governments have failed to enforce
these provisions putting on more pressure on service providers to provide. This stifles demand
creation not because it is difficult to comply but because there is no grave consequences if it
is not followed.
 Minimal Research and Development support in establishing regulations.
How can amalgamation and clustering be supported as an approach, how can sewerage
system rationalized and be implemented, standards alternatives set for developing onsite
treatment systems, setting innovation on tariff formulation, use of economic instruments to
push for fiscal measures like the environmental guaranty fund and area water quality
management fund that will help develop more sanitation and wastewater management
initiatives.
2.2.2.4 Climate Risks and Geologic Hazards
 Very few guidelines on building resilient sanitation facilities.
Developing climate-resilient sanitation facilities is not widely supported and disseminated

among local implementers, that is building and locating sanitation facilities to be climate-
resilient. Not much attention is being given to understand the impacts of flooding, geologic
hazards, shifting demand and supply patterns and changing characteristics of the ecosystem
on the quantity and quality of wastewater that needs to be treated. Treatment facilities are
usually located in low-lying areas or near the coastal areas. This is not seriously considered
as potentially affecting sanitation systems built in these areas.
 No climate fund to promote and protect sanitation facilities from calamities
No fund for calamity-afflicted systems, except for the limited reserve funds allocated by water
districts from their revenues, either held in trust or in escrow to be used when disaster strikes.
Otherwise, there is no fallback funds to pay for systems when destroyed by calamities. There
is no real push to understand and promote use of insurance to rehabilitate damaged systems
and facilities in calamity-stricken.
Government Response
 Institutional Reforms in Managing Water Pollution
The Clean Water Act of 2004 requires the creation of Water Quality Management Areas
(WQMAs) to manage better the control and abatement of water pollution and management
of non-attainment areas. To date, very few active WQMAs have been established in the
country.
Page 30 of 224
 Funding and Financing Support for Sanitation
The prescribed spending for the planned 6-year action plan for sanitation and wastewater
management of about Php87 billion or an average of Php14.5 billion was not carried out based
on an indicative spending from 2013 to 2015 which showed an annual average spending of
about Php5.3 billion for the industry comprising the Sewage and Refuse Disposal Sanitation
and Similar Activities (PSA, National Accounts of the Philippines). Clearly, there was not
enough budget allocated and utilized for sanitation for the period.
The government has still to develop fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to encourage LGUs and
sanitation service providers to create WQMAs, introduce innovative technologies and
approaches, and manage water pollution better. The National Water Quality Management
Fund (NWQMF) and Area Water Quality Management Fund (AWQMF) are fiscal measures that
can help bankroll the efforts to control and mitigate water pollution but have not been fully
operationalized.
More serious efforts to develop and promote the wastewater charge system for commercial
and residential sectors are needed, including the development of the Environmental Guaranty
Fund as mentioned in the CWA. This has not fully materialized and needs to be subjected to
further studies.
 Domestic Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal
Several guidelines have come out in relation to the pursuits of the CWA, notably these are:
DoH’s Operations Manual on the Rules and Regulations Governing Domestic Sludge and
Septage, DENR’s Revised Guidelines for Coverage Screening and Standardized Requirements
under the Philippines Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) System, and the Department of
Agriculture’s (DA) Administrative Order No. 26 - Guidelines on the Procedures and Technical
Requirements for the Issuance of a Certification Allowing the Safe Re-Use of Wastewater for
Purposes of Irrigation and Other Agricultural Uses. These are vital policy directives that will
guide the proper and appropriate actions in managing domestic sewage and sludge. Revised
effluent standards had also come out from DENR but have not been converted to industry-
specific effluent standards.
Government will need to formulate stronger and more specific guidelines in appropriating land
for the use of sanitation facilities, which should include discussion on land banking and
expropriation of land.
 The Manila Bay Mandamus
The Regional Trial Court, on September 13, 2002, rendered a decision in favor of respondents.
The dispositive portion reads: WHEREFORE, finding merit in the complaint, judgment is hereby
rendered ordering the abovenamed defendant-government agencies, jointly and solidarily, to
clean up and rehabilitate Manila Bay and restore its waters to SB classification to make it fit
for swimming, skin-diving and other forms of contact recreation. To attain this, defendant-
agencies, with defendant DENR as the lead agency, are directed, within six months from
receipt hereof, to act and perform their respective duties by devising a consolidated,
coordinated and concerted scheme of action for the rehabilitation and restoration of the bay.
By a decision of September 28, 2005, the Court of Appeals denied petitioners appeal and
affirmed the Decision of the regional trial court (RTC) in toto, stressing that the trial court’s
decision did not require petitioners to do tasks outside of their usual basic functions under
existing laws.
Page 31 of 224
The Manila Bay Mandamus has single-handedly established precedence for compelling
government agencies to perform their mandates and take responsibility for years of neglect
that has resulted to damage to water bodies. Over 15 years, not a single septage treatment
facility was made operational particularly in Regions 3 and 4, where the Mandamus focused
on, except for Metro Manila, Baliwag in Bulacan, and Cabanatuan City in Nueva Ecija. Around
the country, only a handful of LGUs have established septage management programs and a
couple of highly urbanized cities working on their existing age-old sewerage systems.
 National Sewerage and Septage Management Program (NSSMP)
The government’s flagship sanitation program, the National Sewerage and Septage
Management Program or NSSMP, the following are tasked to implement sanitation program
at the local level:
Figure 2-6: Organizational Chart for Implementing the National Sewerage and
Septage Management Program (NSSMP)
The DPWH, DOH, and RDC/Provincial Water and Sanitation Units are supposed to provide
technical support to LGUs and manage sanitation services at a certain level and quality through
programs. Other agencies like DILG, DENR, NWRB, and DSWD will provide technical
assistance and capacity development of LGUs to comply with national economic and resource
regulations. The LGUs are responsible for establishing, operating, maintaining, and guiding
various water and sanitation service providers (LGU-run water services, barangay waterworks,
and to some extent barangay water cooperatives). WDs would sometimes request assistance
from LWUA, rarely from the LGU, or when available, from other external organizations and
donors traditionally providing technical assistance.
The private operators are assumed to be capable and are qualified to carry out their tasks or
as any private corporations would do, provide for resources to incorporate a regular and
sufficient capacity enhancement program to supplement operations. No government agency
monitors this unless done at the expense of a concession agreement, which is the case for
MWSS and its private concessionaires.
Page 32 of 224
This institutional reform has yet to filter and be mainstreamed in the staff plantilla of
government agencies and WDs. The rollout of the NSSMP in the regions was very limited and
has created minor impact in the awareness of local implementors of the details enshrined in
the NSSMP program.
The DPWH is tasked to develop the national program and a listing of sanitation projects all
over the country. This task is shared with other departments such as DOH and DILG. A very
short list exists at DPWH that would still require further assessment and technical assistance
to further develop the initial project proposals.
On June 227, 2017, the NEDA Board has approved the amendments to the NSSMP framework
to augment government subsidy for septage management and sewerage system projects that
now allows up to 50% subsidy for locally initiated sanitation projects to be given to HUCs, all
cities, and first-class municipalities. WDs will need to coordinate with their local governments
to avail of this subsidy. The scope of the subsidy needs to be expanded to cover all LGUs and
WSPs to facilitate development of sanitation projects on the ground. The grant subsidy should
not be limited to select big LGUs who may or may not be keen in pursuing the projects at this
time.
 A Checklist of CWA Compliance that DENR still needs to complete and

promote
DENR as lead agency for the implementation of the CWA is responsible for the:
1. National Water Quality Status Report reviewed annually

2. Integrated Water Quality Management Framework
3. 10-year water quality management area action plan
4. National Groundwater Vulnerability Map
5. Water Quality Guidelines reviewed every five years
6. Effluent standards reviewed every five years
7. Internationally accepted procedures for sampling and analysis of pollutants,
including testing procedure and accreditation of laboratories
8. Categorized point and non-point sources of pollution reviewed every two years
9. Classification of groundwater sources
10. Classification of water bodies according to their beneficial usages
11. Information dissemination and the conduct of educational awareness and value
formation programs and campaigns on the effects of water pollution on health and
environment, water quality management, and resource conservation and recovery
Many in this list still have to be completed, enhanced, promoted, and disseminated by DENR
working collaboratively with other Departments, particularly DOH, the lead agency for
sanitation and/or the designated Apex Body for water.
 Other Tasks That Need Attention from Government
1. Programmatic Environmental Impact Assessment (EI)A and carrying capacity

assessment specific to Sanitation Interventions
2. Pollution research and development program to cover even non-point sources
3. Emergency sanitation and clean-up operations guidelines
4. Septic tank design standards and alternative onsite systems
5. Unified Plumbing Code and Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)
6. Guidelines for Sewerage Planning and Development

Building a Secure and
Sustainable Water Supply and
Sanitation Future
3.1 Guiding Principles

Executive Order No. 5, Series of 2016, which is “Approving and adopting the twenty-five-year
long term vision entitled “Ambisyon Natin 2040” as guide for development planning,”
highlights the vision and aspirations of the Filipino people for a Matatag, Maginhawa at
Panatag na Buhay (strongly-rooted, comfortable, and secure life) in the next 25 years. In
order to realize AmBisyon Natin 2040, this directive underscored the need for a “bold vision
and effective development planning” based on a “forward-looking approach that goes beyond
a single administration.”
The Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022, which represents the first medium-
term plan anchored on this national long-term vision, seeks to lay a stronger foundation for
more inclusive growth, a high-trust and resilient society, and a globally competitive knowledge
economy. Guided by the priorities of the current administration, the Philippine Water Supply
and Sanitation Masterplan have undergone a through consultation process with all actors in
the field to be able to formulate a meaningful plan that goes beyond the PDP 2017-2022.
3.2 Meeting the Normative Content of the Right to Water

 Provide at least:
o 20 liters of water per person per day for Level 1 service
 Comply with the Phil. National Standards for Drinking Water and other water quality
standards contained in relevant laws and policies;
 Observe the minimum standards on appropriate water and sanitation technology
contained relevant laws and policies;
 Obey the standards relating to domestic plumbing, household water treatment and
storage contained in relevant laws and policies;
 Develop, adopt and implement high quality service delivery standards.
 Set necessary minimal charges or water tariffs, which are fair and affordable:
Page 34 of 224
o Ensure that the price of water and sanitation does not reduce a person's ability
to buy other essential goods implicit in human rights.
o When setting water tariffs, integrate an individual's/household's ability to pay
as well as direct and indirect costs of water and sanitation.
o Price water to discourage wasteful consumption.
o Consider other forms of payment (e.g. payment in kind, in labor or skills
provision, phasing in of connection charges over time) and flexible payment
terms
o Refrain from profiteering and price-fixing.
3.3 Water Supply

In addition to the goals set for access/coverage under the PDP 2022, improvements in the
quality of service delivered (service quality) and sustainability of water supply sources and
facilities will be targeted and measured over time. (Refer to Appendix F for the definition of
performance targets that will be measured in each key result area including the sector
outcome indicators).
Below are the proposed benchmarks to guide local governments and service providers as to
what would be the aspirational targets for the next four years (year 2022) and beyond in the
areas of access, service quality, and sustainability.

Access
The 2015 PSA data has indicated a national coverage of 87.2% on overall access to safe water
supply which is about 88 million out of the estimated 100 million populations as of the year
2015 (baseline year). Under the SDG, access to safe and potable water needs to be steered
towards the national target access of 95% by 2020 and 100% (universal) by 2030. The extent
of these targets is best presented in Table 3 below, where percentages are translated into
number of population.
Table 3-2: Water Supply National Targets for 2022 and 2030

These targets were further categorized into the three (3) levels of service (i.e. Levels I, II,
III) in water supply which have been redefined by PSA into having an “adequate treatment”
to emphasize its requirement to pass the PNSDW, aligning this with the SDG’s intent on safe
access to potable water. Baseline data on water supply access were consolidated from each
region and were subjected to regional planning workshop and projection to realize the SDG
targets. The consultation efforts on the regional level has facilitated the sorting of access
targets into the three (3) levels of services as provided in Table 3-2. These percentages would
be the reasonable indicators on the measure of success in achieving the SDG targets at the
national level.

The regional outlook presented in Table 3-3 shows that some regions have low access at the
baseline year and these would entail immediate implementation of water supply programs
and projects to catch up with the 2022 targets. On the other hand, there are some regions
that were recognized to have high access and they are likely to reach full access prior 2030.
MWSS has nearly reached full coverage at present. It is their goal that their franchise area
should attain full access to safe water by 2022.

Region ARMM Region (Autonomous Region) 53.4% 92.7% 99.5%
Among the regions that will see the biggest surge in access include ARMM and Region VII.
These are the areas where coverage is currently lowest. Region Iii having the highest coverage
already as of 2015 decreased by a small fraction in its targeting from 98.2% to 97.2% in
2022. MWSS has a high percentage of coverage and by 2030, it is the goal that in their
franchise area there should be 0% people not having access to safe water.
Service Quality
While it is important that the populace is given access to a safe water supply source, it is
equally essential to ensure that what they have is ‘good access,’ that is, they have safe and
reliable water supply at all times. This excludes cases where distance to the water source is
excessive, water is rationed, or water pressure or quality is inadequate.
Notwithstanding the levels of water supply service (i.e. Levels 1, 2, and 3), key performance
indicators (KPIs) under service quality will be measured at the sector level involving the
national scope. Among the key performance indicators to be monitored and measured are:
a) Water Quality;
b) Water Reliability/ Availability; and
c) Water Pressure
With some data lacking in some areas, an initial survey using the specified indicators is needed
to establish the baseline conditions with which future numbers will be compared to.
3.3.2.1 Water Quality
Water quality is a measure of how good the water is, in terms of supporting beneficial uses
or meeting its environmental values. Potable water is water suitable for drinking and cooking
purposes. Potability considers both the safety of water in terms of health, and its acceptability
to the consumer – usually in terms of taste, odor, color, and other sensible qualities.
As mandated by law, all water supply sources and drinking water service providers must abide
by the requirements prescribed by the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water
(PNSDW) which was recently updated in 2017 through the DOH Administrative Order No.
2017-0010. The standards provide the minimum criteria for quality of potable water, covering
three aspects – chemical, physical, and microbiological.
Page 37 of 224
The NWRB and the Department of Health (DOH) prescribe certain protocols for the testing of
water at the supply source and through the distribution system, and are different depending
on the certain concerned aspect. The minimum frequency of physical and chemical sampling
for drinking water supply is once a year regardless of service levels. Table 4, on the other
hand, details how often testing is done for the microbiological properties of water supply.

For Level 3 water utilities, particularly WDs, it is also a requirement to maintain a residual
chlorine of 0.3 mg/l at the farthest point of the service area, ensuring that water quality is
safe from the water source all the way to each of the customers’ taps. Monitoring and testing
is also necessary when major developments or environmental changes occur in the vicinity
that might affect the quality of water of an existing source, or if important changes are found
in the quality of the water originating from a previously tested source.
Access to safe water, as set in the PDP and SDG targets, goes hand in hand with acceptable
water quality. Although while mandated, monitoring of water quality of supply sources is not
being done meticulously to the letter, and data, where available, are lodged in different
agencies depending on the management type and level of the WSP.
Specific key indicator to be measured for water quality is the percentage of water sources
and/or WSPs passing the prescribed PNSDW requirements. Baseline conditions will have to be
established and collated at the national level, and targeting will be at 100%, as it should be,
at year 2022 onwards.
3.3.2.2 Water Reliability and Availability
Key indicator for water reliability/availability is the percentage of water sources and/or WSPs
delivering 24-hour water supply. This would be especially important to monitor for Level 3
water service providers where individual connections are present in connected household. In
some Level 3 water utilities, even with the supposedly developed service (as opposed to Levels
1 and 2), water rationing is still apparent, and water supply is not available all throughout the
day. Water availability that is less than 24-hours not only poses a risk to health, but also
affects meter efficiency. When water service is cut off during non-operational hours, there is
a risk of polluted water infiltrating into the pipelines through leaks in pipe joints and service
taps. Such is the reason why a 0.3 mg/L residual chlorine should be maintained throughout
the distribution system. This measure helps in countering the health risk.
As with water quality, baseline situation in terms of water availability is still lacking at the
national level and will still have to established. Befitting a developed Level 3 water supply
Page 38 of 224
service, utilities must strive to achieve 24-hour water supply availability. This also ensures that
water service is reliable in the event of emergencies.
However, in most small water supply systems, economic reasons prevent 24-hour daily water
service. Availability is also dependent on system pressures (i.e. during peak hours), and the
capacity of existing and available water sources. As such, monitoring and recording of the
average number of hours of water availability must still be done. Collected data is paramount
in establishing an average at the national level which may serve as a benchmark for operating
utilities.
3.3.2.3 Water Pressure
The quality of water service is also measured by the amount of water pressure available at
each household connection (for Level 3) and/or public tap (for Level 2). Water pressure is
directly proportional to discharge/flow rate and consequently, water volume, which means low
pressures entail less water supply being delivered at a certain given time.
Maintaining minimum pressures in the pipe also prevent contamination of supply and promote
overall efficiency of the water supply system. Minimum pressure at system junctions (points
in the network where links join together and where water enters or leaves the network) must
be 10 psi or 7 m (which is equivalent to a two-storey house) at peak hour. At each household,
on the other hand, minimum pressure is 7 psi (or 5 m) at peak hours. At the remotest end of
a water supply system, minimum pressure may also be allowed to be as low as 4.3 psi or 3 m
(roughly equivalent to a one-storey house).
Conversely, maximum allowable pressure in the system must be 70 m only. Pipes may not be
able to withstand pressures greater than this which risks the event of pipe bursting or
breakage.
For purposes of the master plan, the minimum pressure of 7 psi is adopted for Level 3 water
utilities. This is also based on the standards being used by the two biggest Level 3 WSPs in
the country namely MWCI and MWSI. The key indicator to be monitored is percentage of
Level 3 WSPs achieving the 7-psi minimum pressure.
Sustainability
For sustainability, indicators to measure success are:
 Percentage of population with consumptions of at least 20 lpcd (Level 1), 40 lpcd

(Level 2) and 80 lpcd (Level 3)
 Percentage of water utilities attaining Non-Revenue Water (NRW) targets
 Percentage of water utilities attaining Operating Ratio and Collection Efficiency targets
To ensure efficient and well running utilities that comply to service standards and operate and
manage the constructed water systems in a sustainable manner, the following are envisaged
to be undertaken: (a) water utilities should be organized as commercial enterprises or new
WDs formed, (b) set-up within the municipal LGU a special unit that will handle Level 1 and
Level 2 services, (c) enable improved performance of water districts by enforcing
rewards/incentives, and (d) at the provincial level, a dedicated office to lead the development
of water projects should be created and coordinate their activities to the provincial
development plans.

3.4 Sanitation
For delivering sanitation services, four areas of measure are prescribed to qualify the service
delivery and performance standards. Standards are applied at the sector level, which is
national in scope and at the level of the service provider. These key results areas are (except
for Financial which is the fourth area of measure and discussed separately):
 Access
 Service Quality
 Sustainability
An initial survey using the specified indicators is needed to establish the baseline conditions
before interventions are conducted. Service delivery standards and performance for sanitation
services are specified for the three program areas: basic (onsite) sanitation services, septage
management services, and sewerage systems. For each category, the laws, regulations, and
SDG guidelines are very specific in terms of who should be covered and time periods when
they should be covered. A fourth category provides for other wastewater treatment pertaining
to non-domestic wastewater and wastewater from non-point sources, which will require
further research and new policy guidelines.
As to the quality of services, the DOH and DENR will be the lead agencies to undertake
compliance check for all programs and projects of the local government units and the private
sector and for observance or adherence by other government agencies with respect to
sanitation concerns. DOH will prescribe for basic sanitation programs, which will focus on
outlawing unsanitary facilities (such as hanging latrines, bucket latrines, floating latrines, and
latrines without slab covers) and open defecation and shall provide guidance in recommending
approaches and local policy formulation (such as micro-financing supported by a strong
behavior change communication program). DOH will continue to promote the use of the
Operational Manual on the Rules and Regulations Governing Domestic Sludge and Septage
for developing and managing septage management programs. DOH will work with DPWH to
develop operational guidelines for developing and managing sewerage services and programs.
DOH will work with DENR to check on adherence to the revised effluent standards regardless
of technology or system employed. Future guidelines and administrative orders will be
developed to provide more guidance in developing programs and projects at the local level.
Health risks and environmental impacts will be both accounted for in future guidelines and
policies.
Below are the proposed benchmarks to guide local governments and service providers as to
what would be the aspirational targets for the next four years (year 2022) according to the
three results areas.

Access
For Access, indicators to measure success are the following:
 % of households with septic tanks (onsite systems)

 % of households with access to septage collection services
 % of households with access to sewerage system
 % of households connected to a sewerage system
 % of LGUs declared Zero Open Defecation (ZOD)
 % of HUCs with improved sewerage service provision
 % Non-HUCs with improved sanitation service provision
Looking at the national level (sector), it is important to know the progress in the three program
areas: basic sanitation, septage and effluent treatment, and sewerage systems. % of
households with septic tanks determines the success in the drive to improve basic sanitation,
and this includes all acceptable onsite treatment system alternatives which are determined by
DOH. In 2015, the baseline is at 74%, which should reach 97% by 2022 and 100% by 2030.
The % of households with access to septage management services and sewerage services is
also tracked to determine the success of the two other program areas. However, % of
households with access to sewerage services should be differentiated from the % of
households who are connected to the sewerage system. This determines the success rate of
connecting households to the sewerage system when it is made available. Access to septage
management services in 2015 is pegged at 17% nationwide, while connected households to
a sewerage system is at 8% for the whole country for the same year.
Another important measure at the national level pertains to the country’s aspiration to
eliminate open defecation, which in 2015 stands at 4% of the population. This needs to be
monitored until the whole country is declared 100% zero open defecation by 2022. Equally
important is to determine how many local governments (both the highly urbanized cities and
the non-highly urbanized cities) are complying to the Clean Water Act provision of providing
septage management and sewerage service to the public. HUCs are required to establish
sewerage systems to cover at least 50% of their urban core, while the rest of the area outside
the sewered areas, as well as all non-HUCs, shall employ septage management. In 2015, the
entire country has only 17% access to septage management services and about 12% access
to sewerage services. These baseline figures are very low and it’s likely that they will only
reach up to 67% for septage services and 23% for sewerage services at the end of 2022,
Page 41 of 224
should local governments and service providers plan and implement according to the yearly
targets set. The original target under the NSSMP was 100% of all LGUs with septage
management programs and all HUCs with sewerage systems by 2020.
Service Quality
For Service Quality, indicators to measure success are the following:
 Morbidity rate due to water-related illnesses and diseases

 Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) removed from the ecosystem
 Volume of wastewater collected and treated
 Treatment plant capacity utilization
At the national level (sector), it is important to monitor the impacts of sanitation and
wastewater management to both the health of the people and the environment. In terms of
the health indicator, the closest impact area that can be monitored would be the reduction of
morbidity rate due to effective control and management of water-borne diseases. Although
there are many contributing factors that affect the occurrence and spread of water-borne
diseases, proper hygiene and good sanitation have the biggest impact in reducing incidences
of diseases. Studies show that provision of clean water alone can reduce water-related deaths
by 21%, good sanitation alone by 37%, and hand-washing alone by 35%. From the recent
reports from DOH, the top two highest incidences of water-borne diseases in the country are
due to acute bloody diarrhea and typhoid.

Based on DOH regional reports, the highest number of cases of acute watery diarrhea in 2016
occurred in Region VII (Central Visayas), which also had the highest number of deaths. In
terms of highest recorded cases due to typhoid, Region X (Northern Mindanao) had the most
number, while Region IX (Zamboanga Peninsula) recorded the highest number of deaths due
to typhoid. This type of monitoring helps determine the general impact of poor water supply
and sanitation and in which area, and therefore should influence where budget and project
assistance should be directed and prioritized.
In terms of impact to the environment, the ultimate objective is to reduce the volume of
pollutants that enter the water ecosystem. The unit of measure used is BOD-- biochemical
oxygen demand. BOD can be used as a surrogate of the degree of organic pollution of water
or the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms to break down
organic material present in wastewater. In determining the targets for BOD reduced (or
pollution intercepted), it is assumed that an individual will use up an average of 100 liters a
day and will convert this to wastewater at a volume equivalent to 80% of the water used. The
wastewater typically assumed of having a BOD level of an average of 200 mg/L will need to
be reduced to a maximum limit of 50 mg/L (current limit for class C water). The BOD removed
from the ecosystem is theoretically computed based on the projected population and the
treatment efficiency of septic tanks pegged at 40% and sewerage systems at 100%.
Page 43 of 224
At the level of the service provider, it is important to monitor the volume of wastewater
collected and treated and its impact on the capacity utilization of the treatment facility. This
should determine the service quality provided by the wastewater management or sanitation
program. For start-up treatment facilities, capacity utilization starts low but gains volume over
the first year and slowly reaches maximum capacity toward the tail-end of the design program
cycle (3 to 5 years).
Sustainability
For Sustainability, the indicator to measure success is:
 % of service utilities complying with national standards for sanitation (e.g. DENR, DOH
and local governments)
Sustainability indicators can be deduced from % of service providers or utilities following the
“rules”. By complying to policies, guidelines, and local ordinances assures that tasks are
performed up to standards, safeguards are established and followed, residuals are properly
managed, reliable and verifiable records are in place, etc. The targets are set to correspond
to the volume of wastewater being managed in a year. Since the volume capacity of treatment
plants vary from one another and therefore cannot be readily compared with each other, the
volume capacity of the treatment plant shall represent that volume capacity that was
processed by a facility that observed and complied with standards. 100% of the access figures
(coverage) shall correspond to 100% of service utilities that are compliant. Lower % for this
indicator would mean lower number of service utilities working to meet national standards.
Other indicators may be prescribed depending on the local conditions and priorities, but local
proponents or implementers should adhere at the very minimum to what is required by the
national statistician and the lead agency, as reporting at the local level is carried out all the
way to global reporting.

The Roadmap to Meeting a
Secure and Sustainable Water
Supply and Sanitation Future
4.1 Strategy and Framework

Overall Strategies
The development of the PWSSMP is guided by the basic framework that water is a basic
human right and is founded on the IWRM principle. Specifically, the framework seeks to enable
the coordinated and integrated management of water and sanitation provision in the LGU
where there could be multiple WSPs and in some instances conflicting interest on water. Within
the framework, the LGU shall ensure that all policies related to water and sanitation provision
shall support and promote IWRM principles as enumerated below:
The LGU having the primary responsibility for ensuring the right to water as indicated under
Section 17 of the LGC and the other stakeholders which includes the community, and/or the
service providers shall consider the following goals under an integrated approach to water
resources management. These goals and objectives shall form the bases of the local water
and sanitation plan.
 Effective Protection and Regulation for Water Security and Ecosystem

Health by:
o Ensuring Rational, Efficient and Ecologically Sustainable Allocation of Water .

o Enhancing Effectiveness in Groundwater Management and Aquifer Protection
o Achieving Clean and Healthy Water
o Managing and Mitigating Risks from Water Related Disasters and Climate
Change
 Sustainable Water Resources and Responsive Services for Present and

Future Needs by:
o Promoting Water Conservation/Stewardship and Improving Water Use

Efficiency
Page 45 of 224
o Expanding Access and Ensuring Availability of Affordable and Responsive Water

Supply and Sanitation Services
 Improved Effectiveness, Accountability, and Synergy among Water Related

Institutions and Stakeholders by:
o Promoting Participatory Water Governance and Supportive Enabling

Environment
o Strengthening Knowledge Management and Building Capacity for IWRM
 Adaptive and Proactive Response to Emerging/Future Challenges by:
o Exploring Innovative Pathways: Water Sensitive Design and Water Rights

Trading
Governance Principles
Article 2, Section 11 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides – “The State values the
dignity of every human person and guarantees full respect for human rights.” Guided by these
principles, there are three main actors in the human rights-based approach to sustainable
delivery of water supply and sanitation services are the Claimholders, Duty Bearers and other
Actors. They have been engaged in the process of formulating the Philippine Water Supply
and Sanitation Masterplan. These actors and their corresponding roles are generally indicated
as follows: Claimholders – Exercise rights responsibly and claim entitlements to goods,
services, institutions and resources necessary for quality of life consistent with humanity and
dignity; Duty Bearer – Create conditions for the realization of all human rights for all, especially
the most vulnerable, by providing goods, services, institutions and resources based on human
rights standards, norms and principles; and, Other Actors – Economic, social and political
interest groups or power blocs that exert positive or negative influence over claimholders and
duty bearers.
In the operation and management of the water utility, the duty bearer (the LGU as either WSP
or regulator) shall see to it that the human rights principles for water governance (PANTHER)
are fully integrated. Correspondingly, it is expected that the claimholder carries out its human
rights responsibilities in water such as paying for the cost of water services and participating
in ways that promote water sustainability.
The following shall guide the operation and management of the water utility:
1. The water utility operates in a transparent and accountable way, where there are clearly
defined systems and procedures covering all aspects of operations including the
accountabilities of each officer and staff. There shall be management reports on the
performance of the water utility and these reports shall be made public. (transparency
and accountability)
2. The WSP shall conduct its operations in accordance with agreed parameters of service
delivery that were previously discussed and agreed by the WSP with the claimholder and
are contained in a Localized Customer Service Code. (participation, rule of law and
empowerment)
3. The claimholder as consumer participates actively in the operation of the water utility by
providing timely feedback on the utility performance, and supporting its programs and
activities. (participation, empowerment, non-discrimination)
Page 46 of 224
4. The WSP is held accountable by the duty bearer (the LGU) by complying with the service
obligations through a system of regular monitoring and review. (accountability, rule of
law)
5. It is the goal of the WSP to provide sustainable water service in the most efficient and
economical way while at the same time ensuring that the normative content of the right
to water is being met. To ensure sustainable operations and that the right to water is
continuously protected, the water utility shall be managed as an economic enterprise
without prejudice to the human right principle that water is also a social good. It is
necessary for the water utility to be financially viable so that it will have enough funds to
maintain the water system and expand coverage to serve more people. (efficiency and
non-discrimination)
4.2 The PWSSMP Program Logic Model

The PWSSMP Program Logic Model (PLM) contextualizes the key reform areas that would
consist major sections of the Master Plan. The program logic model is the mechanism to
conceptually anchor, situate and contextualize the PWSSMP initiative in the context of
pursuing the desired state for the country and its people as captured in two very important
documents, namely: the AmbisyonNatin 2040 and the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) for
the period covering 2017-2022. The AmbisyonNatin 2040 document reflects the country’s
desire for the Philippines in terms of societal impact. Its coverage, as formulated, spans four
administrations that includes the current administration and its Philippine Development Plan
(2017-2022).
Societal Impact
At the top of the PLM is the societal impact level that all sectors (e.g. education, agriculture,
health, etc.) to its achievement. For this particular initiative, it would be the development
efforts in the infrastructure sector. Within this sector is the water supply and sanitation sub-
sector alongside transport, social, energy, and ICT. The aim of the PSWWMP initiative is to
hit the targets set in the PDP. Alongside the PDP targets, the Philippine government should
also ensure that its commitment to the United Nations of achieving the Sustainable
Development Goals (2030) for water and sanitation is also delivered.
Sector and Sub-sector Outcomes
The next level elements were directly culled from the PDP (2017-2022) document. In Chapter
19 (Accelerating Infrastructure Development), the Philippine government has expressed these
four sub-sector outcomes, i.e., that by 2022, the following outcomes would have been
achieved, namely:
 (1) Infrastructure spending increased,

 (2) Strategic infrastructure implemented,
 (3) Infrastructure assets preserved, and
 (4) Research and development intensified.
All four outcomes apply across the infrastructure sector whether it is energy, transport, social,
ICT, and water supply and sanitation.
Page 47 of 224
PWSSMP Strategic Outcomes
How shall the water supply and sanitation sector and sub-sector outcome be achieved? The
answer is to embark on the formulation and implementation of the Philippine Water Supply
and Sanitation Master Plan.
The Master Plan consists of eight key reform areas (RA) which shall drive all development
efforts pertaining to the country’s water supply and sanitation. Each reform area shall have
its own strategic outcomes.
One key reform area is effective delivery of water supply and sanitation services (RA
1). This particular KRA is situated at the top, i.e. closest the sector outcomes, because the
achievement of this reform would directly affect (or translate into) the achievement of the
sector (and sub-sector) outcomes.
To support the efforts of achieving RA 1, we have identified the next two reforms areas,
namely: strengthening the regulatory environment (RA 2), and balancing water
supply and demand (RA 3). A significant part of KRA 3 is climate resiliency, i.e., ensuring
climate resiliency (RA 4).
Furthermore, two types of enabling mechanisms are needed for water supply and sanitation
services to improve (RA 1). These are: creating effective water supply and sanitation
institutions (RA 5) and enabling access to funding and financing (RA 6).
As experience would show, the success of these aforementioned reforms greatly hinges on
the availability and the management of relevant and reliable data and information
(RA 7). To ensure the relevance and quality of data and information, there is the need for
driving research and development (RA 8), the findings thereof will inform and strengthen
data and information management.
Implementation Arrangements
Last but not least is the box that pertains to the Implementation Arrangements found just
below the PWSSMP strategic outcomes box. All the efforts to develop the master plan would
be meaningless if it cannot be implemented properly. It is for this reason that due importance
is given to the implementation arrangements to operationalize the PWSSMP. This would
consist of the investment programming and operational plans.

4.3 The Eight Reform Areas

Effective Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Services
4.3.1.1 Context and Issues
The health and well-being of more than 100 Million Filipinos largely hinge on the availability
and safety of water supply and sanitation services. This being the case, the government has
a tall order of accelerating access to safe, affordable and sustainable water supply and
sanitation services. With barely four (4) years until the end of another medium-term
development plan i.e. 2022, there is a lot of catching up to do in both water supply and
sanitation to reach the targets set for the said year as well as build towards achieving universal
targets in 2030.
Water Supply Issues:
Water supply services as per PSA access as of 2015 may have reached a considerable number
of the population at 87% but there is still lot of work to be done to improve the quality of
services and expand provision especially to those Filipinos living in poverty and in far flung
areas. Many Filipinos, especially those who cannot afford a Level 3 water system, end up
paying more for water services and experience a lot of inconvenience in obtaining water when
they have to walk long miles to fetch water and/or have intermittent and unreliable service.
There are several water supply service providers, most notable of which are the
concessionaires of MWSS: Manila Water and Maynilad. Outside Metro Manila, most water
supply systems are operated by the Water Districts and the LGUs. Some Water Districts
particularly those with more than 3,000 service connections have their water services
effectively managed. However, a good number of WDs (including the bigger ones) still fail to
serve all barangays in their franchise areas. Some exceptions are Baliwag WD, Metro Lipa,
Dasmarinas City WD, and San Jose del Monte City WD. The LGU-run utilities suffer in
comparison against the WDs in terms of effective service delivery. The water supply system
of Iligan City, one of the country’s 17 HUCs, is run by the LGU—but whose operation is
characterized with high non-revenue water (60% or more) and poor water service. This
situation is typical of many LGU-run water utilities.
Sanitation Issues:
MWSS in Mega-Manila leads the way in the provision of both septage management and
sewerage services. There are many good practices that can be derived from the work of the
two MWSS concessionaires in improving sanitation coverage and service quality, but also have
some failed attempts in introducing innovations in sanitation provision. One major oversight
is the serious lack of awareness-raising promotional activities that should contribute to raising
demand for the services and intensify buy-in to avail and pay for such services. Government
fails to invest on a scaled-up, sustained, and well-coordinated campaign that is deployed at
the national and the local levels.
An emerging critique of the Clean Water Act and other sanitation-related policies is that
sanitation policies and programs are lopsided because they do not put equal emphasis on the
mandatory compliance and participation of the public and sanctions for non-compliance but
rather more on the responsibility of service providers to provide the service. This needs to be
reviewed and corrected.
Page 50 of 224
The problems that beset the WSS service deliveries has to be addressed. Reforms should be
instituted to have effective management of WSS services.
For the water supply service provision to be effectively managed, operations should be able
to: supply adequate, safe and affordable water to all households (especially in emergency
situations) and reduce wastage.
On the other hand, effective delivery of sanitation services include not only the provision of
toilets but also adequately designed septic tanks. All households regardless of their economic
standing have access to sanitation services. Full cost recovery might not be a viable option at
this point. Full sanitation services also include provision for sewerage system to treat domestic
wastewater generated by households. Furthermore, the operations of most of the LGU-run
and small water utilities are unsustainable. The tariffs set could hardly cover the daily
operations of the utilities since these are not based on full-cost recovery. The operations of
the water supply system of Iligan City, which is one of the 17 HUCs in the country, is heavily
subsidized by the government. Its water tariff is very low and could not increase due to some
pressure from politicians. With a very low tariff the concessionaires hardly conserve water. Its
NRW is about 60%. Its expansion programs are financed directly by the local government.
With this set-up service delivery is erratic. Not all areas are served 24 hours a day, seven days
a week.
The SWIF Project of the World Bank in 2007-2008 involving 11 small water utilities revealed
that the tariff charged by these utilities could hardly cover the operational costs of running
the water supply system. Service delivery was not effective and the service coverage is limited
to the poblacion and adjacent barangays. LGU-run utilities were heavily subsidized by the
concerned LGUs. Small water utilities unless capacitated and provided with basic training on
improvement plans and fundamental information on setting tariff structures may not be able
to access market-based financing. Without funds small water providers may not be able to
expand and make its operation sustainable due to limited market. These small utilities may
need subsidy from the government to partially finance their expansion programs of their water
supply systems.
With unsustainable water service operations, it is foreseen that LGU-run and small utilities will
be confronted with the same problem should they include sanitation service as an added
obligation. The national government should assist this group by subsidizing sanitation services
so as not to jeopardize their existence and further aggravate the problem on unsustainable
operations.
4.3.1.2 Rationale and Objectives
The PWSSMP aims to achieve the targeted access for water supply and sanitation services as
set out in the MTPDP 2022 and in line with SDG goal of universal access in 2030. Key Reform
Agenda No. 1 – Effective Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Services defines how service
delivery will be like, what standards will be met, and how the government (together with the
other stakeholders) shall realize the objectives that were set.
 Meeting the Normative Content of the Right to Water.
As defined in Section 3 – Building A Secure and Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation
Services, water supply and sanitation objectives shall mean access for all people provided at
a certain service quality (availability and quality). The section also defines the annual targets
(from 2019 to 2022, and 2030) for each performance indicator of access, availability, quality
Page 51 of 224
and sustainability. The table below captures the normative elements of the individual’s right
to water together with the corresponding standards to be achieved and the related water
governance issues to be considered.

 Following the rights-based local governance framework, the provision of water supply
and sanitation services shall be undertaken by the LGUs that also promotes the
PANTHER principles, ensures gender quality, and enables social inclusion.
Correspondingly, it is expected that the consumer/ claimholder carries out its responsibilities
such as paying for the cost of water supply and sanitation services and participating in ways
that promote water sustainability.
Page 54 of 224
o The water utility operates in a transparent and accountable way, where there are
clearly defined systems and procedures covering all aspects of operations including
the accountabilities of each officer and staff. There shall be management reports
on the performance of the water utility and these reports shall be made public.
(transparency and accountability)
o The WSP shall conduct its operations in accordance with agreed parameters of
service delivery that were previously discussed and agreed to by the WSP with the
claimholder and are contained in a Localized Customer Service Code
(participation, rule of law and empowerment).
o The claimholder as consumer participates actively in the operation of the water
utility by providing timely feedback on the utility performance, and supporting its
programs and activities (participation, empowerment, non-discrimination)
o The WSP is held accountable by the duty bearer (the LGU) by complying with the
service obligations through a system of regular monitoring and review
(accountability, rule of law).
o It is the goal of the WSP to provide sustainable water service in the most efficient
and economical way while at the same time ensuring that the normative content
of the right to water is being met. To ensure sustainable operations and that the
right to water is continuously protected, the water utility shall be managed as an
economic enterprise without prejudice to the human right principle that water is a
social good. It is necessary for the water utility to be financially viable so that it
will have enough funds to maintain the water system and expand coverage to
serve more people. (efficiency and non-discrimination); and
o Consistent with the paragraph 25(a) of the Plan of Implementation of the 2002
World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg Summit,
provision of of WSS services should promote gender equality and social inclusion.
The design of water supply and sanitation facilities should be gender sensitive. The
special needs of women and girls, persons with disability and the elderly should be
considered and integrated in the design of such facilities. No sector in the
community should be left-out. This also means that WSS services should to not be
limited to only those living in urban areas or easy to reach rural areas but must
also include those residents and hard-to-reach areas or geographically isolated and
disadvantaged areas (GIDA), poor communities, indigenous people, and other
marginalized sectors. WSS service provision should be for all with no distinction
(empowerment, non-discrimination, human dignity)
The aforementioned governance framework shall be embodied in the operation and

management procedures and processes in the water utilities. It shall be the duty of the LGUs
through the Local WatSan Council to ensure that said principles are appropriately complied
with by those who run the water utilities;
 Providing the most appropriate level of service and enabling access.
To realize the objectives set in the foregoing sub-sections (i) and (ii) above, it is important to
define the appropriate level of service (Level 1, 2 or 3) for water supply, and basic or improved
sewerage for sanitation based on the geographic features of the place and the cost of the
capital investments;
Foremost consideration is the geographical characteristic of the place. As long as it is

technically possible to put up whatever kind of system that considers physical accessibility,
safety of the supply and convenience of the consumers, the corresponding level of service
should be set up. While it is important to consider the financial implications of the capital
Page 55 of 224
investments and the effect on the tariff that the consumers will eventually pay, factors such as
physical accessibility and safety/potability in the case of water supply should also be
considered. To enable access to those people living in poverty, the government under the UFF
should develop and implement a program that will help those who cannot pay for service
connection fees and/or the cost of monthly water bills;
 Water supply and sanitation services will be provided as an integrated service.
The WSP shall be responsible for both water supply and sanitation. The need to integrate
water supply and sanitation services is inevitable considering, as previously mentioned, that
about 75% to 80% of water consumed by each individual is generated as wastewater and
disposed of to water bodies. As in Metro Manila and some parts of Cavite and Rizal, WSS
services are already integrated. The MWSS through the two concessionaires, Manila Water
and Maynilad, operates successfully both the water supply system and septage and sewerage
systems in its franchise areas. Outside the franchise areas of MWSS, several water districts
have proved that water supply and sanitation services (septage facilities) could be integrated
and results in viable operations
The integration of WSS services resulting in the effective service delivery in the MWSS and
some WDs franchise areas may serve as models for the LGUs and other service providers to
replicate in their areas of concern. However, the LGUs may need support and guidance from
the national government thru the DILG and other government agencies to pursue the
integration of WSS services. This is important since there are only few success stories in LGUs
managed water utilities and requiring them to integrate sanitation services will put heavy
burden to LGUs that have limited income. Some private service providers have the financial
capacity to provide the integrated WSS services hence should be compelled to embark in the
said program. However, cooperatives and small water associations which have limited financial
capacity need support just like the LGUs to provide WSS services in their coverage areas.
With the integration, the development plans for both water supply and sanitation could be
mainstreamed particularly in the LGUs and be given priority in the provision of annual
allocations for expansion and improvement of the services. Further, integrated planning for
water supply and sanitation should mean that current available water supply as well as future
water supply capacity would be met with a corresponding wastewater treatment capacity as
water supply is made available. Sanitation planning should not be done as a separate exercise
and an afterthought in the planning process.

water supply capacity would be met with a corresponding wastewater treatment capacity as

and an afterthought in the planning process.
The cost of sanitation service shall be recovered together with water consumption in the water
tariff. A reasonable part of the tariff will be set aside to cover the cost of wastewater treatment
and management. By integrating the provision of both services, sanitation which is usually set
aside, will get to be provided alongside water supply services. When a consumer applies for
a water connection, the service to be provided shall include sanitation. The water utility shall
have a separate unit in the organization that will be in charge of sanitation. It will be made
Page 56 of 224
mandatory for all utilities—public and private—to provide integrated water supply and
sanitation services; and
 Ensure the financial sustainability of water supply and sanitation operations.
For water supply and sanitation services to be sustainable, water utility operations should be
financially viable. Financially sustainable operations is attained if all costs incurred in such
operations are recovered. Full cost recovery is a process which aims to determine the whole
cost of operations and recovering it. The WSS service providers recover the cost through
setting- up of water or sanitation tariffs. Private WSS providers like Maynilad and Manila Water
are allowed by the government to include profit in their tariffs unlike WDs which are considered
government-controlled corporations.
The operations of Maynilad’s and Manila Water’s concession areas as well as most Water
Districts are financially sustainable. This become possible because of the big number of
concessionaires being served and the adequate water tariff approved by the government. The
tariffs are set based on full cost recovery which reflects the operational needs of the utilities
and service providers and not on the caprices of the politicians. Sustainable financial
operations result to healthy or robust financial position of the utilities. Not only internal funds
are generated but the good financial standing of the utilities become attractive to banks or
lending institutions. Internal generated funds are usually used for small expansion or
improvement of services while big ticket projects such as construction of additional sources
of supply or expansion of the treatment plants and area of coverage are financed through
borrowings from government or private banks or institutions. Sustainability of operations is
one of main drivers why WDs such as Baliwag WD, San Jose del Monte City WD, Lamitam WD
and others were able to pursue septage projects in their franchise areas.
The cost of operating and maintaining the system and replacing the assets should be
recovered from water tariff. Depending on the financial capacity of the consumers, a policy
on cost recovery to enable access for all consumers shall be developed. The extent of subsidy
that the government should provide to the water supply and sanitation providers has to be
determined based on the actual financial needs of the concerned utilities
4.3.1.3 Proposed Reforms and Key Actions
1. Adopt a rights-based local governance framework in the provision of water

supply and sanitation. The governance framework shall define the elements of effective
service delivery and shall be the basis for operating and managing a water utility.
 Specifically, the framework shall address a strategy to ensure that those in far-flung
areas and those living in poverty are given priority in the implementation of
infrastructure projects to improve access and quality of service. Where possible, the
most appropriate level of service and ease and convenience are considered in the
design of water supply and sanitation systems;
 Water tariff charges shall be reasonable and affordable to the poorest strata of society
while at the same time ensuring full cost recovery of operating and maintaining
system. Government subsidies shall be considered and payment modes that will allow
low income earners will be studied and formulated.
2. Develop and implement the mechanism for the integrated provision of water
supply and sanitation services. Integrated planning for water supply and sanitation
means that current available water supply as well as future water supply capacity would
Page 57 of 224
be met with a corresponding wastewater treatment capacity as water supply is made

available. Sanitation planning should not be done as a separate exercise and an
afterthought in the planning process. A policy on integrated provision shall be developed
and be part of an Executive Order of the Master Plan. It shall include implementing
guidelines that define how the proposal will be implemented and realized by the different
WSPs. The integrated provision will be piloted to test and select the best way to implement
the strategy.
3. Review and assess the existing cost recovery mechanisms and tariff setting
methodologies of public utilities (e.g., water districts and LGU led water
utilities). The cost recovery framework followed by WDs provide for full cost recovery of
operation and maintenance expenses and asset replacement but does not set aside for
any return on investment. While this may be good for the consumers as tariff is kept at a
minimum level, it may not enable financial sustainability of the utility in the long-term. The
tariff setting and cost recovery framework may need to be reviewed and revised to
consider more long term requirements of the utility.
4. Strengthen and focus sanitation programs toward the country’s goals and
targets.
 Prioritize programs on improving basic sanitation and eliminating unimproved

sanitation and open defecation. Programs should look at ease of provision and
financing of sanitation products and services particularly for indigent households.
 Streamline program areas to reflect the targets set out by the PDP and the SDGs. One
recommendation is to consider four program areas, as follows:
Program Area Description

1. Basic Sanitation Program Focus would be to develop programs to enforce
laws on the installation of toilets and septic tanks in
every household and building. This means working
closely with OBOs and sanitary inspectors around
the country to improve permitting and
investigations at the local level. This will include
legislating local sanctions for non-complying parties
and sanctions for erring and non-performing OBOs.
DOH will also need to finally approve a Department
Administrative Order providing guidelines on
acceptable design standards for septic tanks and
other permissible alternative onsite treatment
systems. This will also mean changing the reporting
system with PSA discriminating those households
without onsite treatment system and those still
using shared and unimproved sanitation facilities.
This program will also cover the Zero Open
Defecation (ZOD) program and constituting a
monitoring and certifying body for barangays/LGUs
that will graduate as ZOD areas. DOH will develop
criteria for identifying the poorest of the poor that
can apply for government subsidy for toilets and
septic tanks. For the rest, financing will be either
self-finance as the norm or through micro-credit
facilitated by the LGU, the regional/provincial health
Page 58 of 224

office, and the nearest MFI. In all these, an
appropriate behavior change communication
program should be in-place to increase basic
sanitation coverage and buy-in. This program
should also look into augmenting the cadre of
sanitation workers on the ground. Options may
include pursuing Environmental Engineers and
Technicians being proposed and deliberated as of
writing this report, professionalizing sanitation
workers (increasing grade level), deputizing
barangay Chairmen, etc.
2. Septage Management Focus is to develop programs and tools to assist
Program LGUs and sanitation service providers develop
septage management programs and integrate in the
local sanitation plan. DOH will have to work with
DPWH in the implementation of the NSSMP, as
envisioned in the NSSMP framework and focusing
on providing technical and financial assistance to
smaller LGUs, while DPWH assists HUCs, cities, and
1st-class municipalities (as per NEDA Board
Resolution of June 27, 2017). DOH will work with
DENR in developing and implementing compliance
training for government agencies (including support
agencies like COA, GPPB, OGCC, PPP Center, etc.)
and LGUs on health and environmental regulations
and laws related to sanitation. It will involve
mainstreaming a three-pronged approach in the
development of the septage management program
looking at sustainable and resilient
infrastructure/facilities, enabling environment, and
appropriate promotions campaign. The program will
review and develop the clustering approach for
septage management primarily looking at the
institutional and legal ramifications of the approach.
As part of the program, both the implementing
agencies (DOH and DPWH) and LGUs will need to
build their capacities in developing project proposals
and detailed designs, and enhancing competence in
procurement, project evaluation, and M&E of
septage management programs.
3. Sewerage Systems Program Focus is for DOH to develop programs and tools to
assist urban areas found in lower class
municipalities in developing sewerage system
projects and coordinate the sewerage system
projects done in more urbanized LGUs assisted by
DPWH through the NSSMP. As part of the program,
both the implementing agencies (DOH and DPWH)
and LGUs will need to build their capacities in
developing project proposals and detailed designs,
and enhancing competence in procurement, project
evaluation, and M&E of sewerage system programs.
Page 59 of 224

4. Non-Point Source Pollution Focus is for DOH to work with DENR and DA to
Program develop policies and programs to manage and
regulate non-point source (NPS) pollution
happening in both urban and rural areas as
envisaged in the Clean Water Act. As part of the
program, both the implementing agencies (DOH,
DENR, and DA) and LGUs will need to build their
capacities in developing project proposals and
detailed designs, and enhancing competence in
procurement, project evaluation, and M&E of NPS
pollution abatement programs.
 At the national level, tap the environmental ombudsman to prosecute LGU

leadership for being remiss of their duties in implementing sanitation policies and
programs required of the Clean Water Act. At the local level, city and municipal
councils need to legislate and prescribe a steeper penalty for those deliberately
ignoring or violating the sanitation-related laws, such as not installing proper toilets
and septic tanks, not cooperating and participating in the septage management
program if they are without their own onsite treatment, and not connecting to an
available sewerage system. This should support service providers to do their jobs
and perform better. Provide incentives to LGUs by including water supply and
sanitation in the pre-requisites for the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG).
 For developing sanitation programs, use community-driven approaches in rural,
remote areas, islands, and sparse communities, which focus on establishing
contamination or pollution barriers as preventive health measures since most water
supply systems will be levels 1 and 2 and vulnerable to contamination. Local
planning should be driven all the way down to the barangay level to improve
program ownership and stewardship. This approach should be pursued in
autonomous regions, where technical assistance from the national government is
limited.
 Develop a national and corresponding local campaigns to promote and market
sanitation services to raise awareness, create demand, and develop buy-in to
cooperate and pay for services. The campaigns should be scalable, sustainable,
strategic, pre-tested, well-coordinated, and well-targeted.
 Develop gender and social inclusive sanitation programs and projects, including
regard for indigenous communities and PWDs. And integrate climate-resiliency in
the planning and design of sanitation facilities and mainstream in policy formulation
and program development.
 Equally important is prescribing complementary programs on household-level
treatment and solar disinfection of drinking water for indigent households. This
includes drinking water sourced from rain water collectors and shallow wells.
5. Implement coordinated planning and development at the LGU. To ensure that no

one is left out in getting access to WSS, the approach to planning, development, and
ultimate provision shall be coordinated and integrated at the LGU level. The LGU shall be
central in the development of its water supply and sanitation services.
6. Institutionalize a coordinating planning and development thru a Local WSS

Development Office. This function shall be discharged thru a dedicated Water Supply
and Sanitation Development Office (WSSDO) in the LGU in the long-term that will operate
in coordination with the regional offices of the planned Department of Water. In the short-
Page 60 of 224
term, the planning office in the LGU shall take on this function, which may either be already
existing or yet to be established.. The WSSDO will have a budget to cover the personnel
costs of qualified and dedicated staff who will undertake planning, coordination and
development activities in the water supply and sanitation sector.
7. Ensure the development of a comprehensive local WSS masterplan and

integrate in the Local Development Plan of the LGU. Develop and prepare a
masterplan for the LGU water supply and sanitation sector that will outline the targets for
access and service levels and the overall guiding framework for the provision of water
supply and sanitation services. LGUs shall be required to submit a local water supply and
sanitation development plan that will cover their proposed plan on how to improve the
sector. The initial plan to be prepared shall cover a 3-year period within which they will be
tasked to show how they will attain the targeted access for water supply and sanitation in

Regulating Water Supply and Sanitation
The Philippine Water and Sanitation sector is characterized by the absence of a lead agency
for the sector, the lack of a cohesive policy framework, insufficient public financing, inadequate
sector data that can inform policy and investment decisions, and a severely fragmented and
poorly enforced regulatory regime.
There are currently several economic regulatory agencies for water:
Agency Regulated Entity

Local Water Utilities Administration Water Districts
(LWUA)
National Water Resources Board Private Waterworks including cooperatives, real estate
(NWRB) developments, and private operators
Philippine Economic Zone Authority Economic zones
(PEZA)
Local Government Units LGU-run utilities (self-regulated)
Metropolitan Waterworks and Manila Water & Maynilad Water
Sewerage System (MWSS)
Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Designated tourism economic zones (including Boracay)
Zone Authority (TIEZA)
Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority Subic Bay Freeport Zone
Clark Development Corporation Clark Water
Compounding this issue is the low coverage of the economic regulatory mantle. In the survey
made under the Listahang Tubig program, there are estimated over 22,000 water service
providers in the country. Of these, 4,700 provide piped water service; of the 4,700, 2200 are
small utilities with less than 1500 connections , and with different ownership structures and
governance systems—from public and private corporate entities, LGU-run systems and loosely
formed community-based associations. Only 27% of the piped water utilities (mostly water
districts and private utilities) are subject to economic regulation, leaving 73% without any
standard guidelines for tariff setting or oversight on performance. Weak or benign exercise of
regulatory functions has led to under investments and sub-optimal performance of utilities.
Other developments in the water supply and sanitation sector have only raised the clamor
for the creation of a single independent economic regulatory agency for the sector.
 The Supreme Court declares that the exclusive jurisdiction of Water Districts is
unconstitutional
On October 24, 2002 Margarita A. Adala filed an application with the NWRB for the issuance
of a Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) to operate and maintain a waterworks system in
sitios San Vicente, Fatima, and Sambag in Barangay Bulacao, Cebu City. Metropolitan Cebu
Water District (MCWD), opposed the application contending that the consent of its Board of
Directors is a condition for the grant of the CPC arguing that Section 47 of P.D. 198 grants
the water district exclusive franchise over their entire service area. In 2007, the Supreme
Court ruled that Section 47 of PD 198 is clearly repugnant to Article XIV, Section 5 of the 1973
Constitution and is deemed unconstitutional9.
9
Metro Cebu Water District vs. Margarita A. Adala, 2007
Page 63 of 224
The decision of the Supreme Court has paved the way for other private players to come into
the water sector, justifying the need for stronger regulation of private water utilities.
 The World Bank study on utility benchmarking identifies LGU-run utilities as the
poorest performing utilities
The World Bank conducted a series of studies in 2003 with 25 utilities and again in 2004 with
45 utilities comparing the performance of various small water utility models operate in the
country. Compared in the study were water districts, private operators, cooperatives, rural
water sanitation associations (RWSA) and LGU-run utilities. The different models were
benchmarked on several indicators including Coverage, Water Availability, Household
Consumption, Non-Revenue Water (NRW), Metering, Operation Ratio, Collection Efficiency
and Staff/1000 Connections.
The study concluded that because Water Districts had access to financing as well as standards
and targets imposed by LWUA, they were the best performing models. Because LGU-run
utilities were self-regulated without standards or targets, they were classified the worst
performers in the study.
 The Clean Water Act is signed into law
In 2004, the Clean Water Act was signed into law. The law requires water utilities in Metro
Manila and other highly urbanized cities, in coordination with LGUs, to connect the sewage
lines in subdivisions, condominiums, commercial centers, hotels, sports and recreational
facilities, hospitals, market places, public buildings, industrial complexes and other similar
establishments, including households to sewerage systems10. In addition, the law provides
that the connection shall be subject to sewerage services charges/fees.
Unfortunately, the while sewerage charges and fees are clearly stated in the law, the law is
silent on how these fees are to be computed, reviewed and approved. The law is silent as well
on which agency is tasked to review and approve these fees.
 The 2013 NEDA Joint Venture Guidelines in 2013 attracts the entry of more private
players into the sector
By the end of 2018, between 40-50 water districts shall expected to have entered into Joint
Venture arrangements with private companies following the NEDA guidelines.
While the entry of more private players is a welcome development to the sector,
the regulatory rules necessary to oversee these new arrangements are unclear.
In addition, a presentation was made by USAID consultants to NEDA in 2017 following the
Metro Iloilo Water District JV negotiation process. In that presentation, the USAID consultants
pointed out that there were issues in the guidelines that needed to be addressed:
1. Water districts under LWUA’s oversight are non-profit in nature and observe a tariff
methodology under that assumption. However, in the joint venture arrangements,
water districts take a minority equity stake in the newly formed companies, where
NWRB’s Return on Rate Base (RORB) model may be more applicable. Nevertheless,
10
Clean Water Act, 2004
Page 64 of 224
these JV contracts assume that LWUA will continue to serve as regulator. This situation
needs to be clarified.
2. On governance and transparency – a potential conflict of interest is present as
members of the Joint Venture Steering Committee who are expected to negotiate the
best terms with the private proponent may end up as future employees of the
proponent in a concession type proposal.
3. Most water districts opt to go the unsolicited JV route as this requires minimal oversight
if the government contribution is less than PhP150Million. In addition, in the dozens of
the distribution JV proposals, there has not been an unsolicited proposal that has been
challenged by other private parties.
4. There is no specific timeline for the entire process
5. There is no cap on benefits for employees to be transferred or absorbed by the private
proponent. In a concession arrangement where a majority of the water district
employees are to be transferred or absorbed, the amount of benefits will have a
significant impact on the final tariff.
6. There are no clear guidelines on cost recovery, tariff setting or penalties.
7. There is a lack of clarity on the required documents to be submitted. Guidelines need
to be more specific on what constitutes a complete proposal.
On a more fundamental level, many water districts feel that the current wave of Joint Venture
agreements violate Section 31 of PD 198 which states, “A district shall have the power to enter
into contracts with any person for the purpose of performing any functions of the district:
Provided, That the Board of Directors may not by contract delegate any of the discretionary
powers vested in the board by this Title. “ This issue has yet to be resolved.
 The Listahang Tubig Project maps water service providers in the country
In 2014, The NWRB, LWUA and DILG launched the Listahang Tubig project, the first national
survey of water service providers in the Philippines. With a participation rate of 88% from
cities and municipalities nationwide, the survey generated a robust database of water service
providers’ directory, profiles and service levels; and benchmarked performance of utilities
providing piped household connections.
The project generated a database of 22,844 water service providers in the country classified
according to location, level of service and management type. The database also gave the
government and in depth look of the quality of service being provided, technical and funding
gaps, and the need for better support for these providers.
 Conflicting Interests
When MWSS divided Mega Manila into East and West Zones and bid the areas out to private
players in 1997, it was recognized that the arrangement of an internal regulatory body within
MWSS was not an ideal arrangement but would be temporary until a proper independent
regulatory agency is created by law. However, twenty years later, the arrangement continues
and the MWSS regulator continues to oversee a contract where one party has oversight over
the regulators.
LWUA continues to provide financing to water districts as it continues to approve their tariffs.
As a result, the regulatory stick necessary to require water districts to expand and improve
services is not exercised by LWUA when financing from their institution is unavailable. As a
matter of practice, LWUA only exercises the review of tariff increases when applications for
Page 65 of 224
tariff adjustments are made. Unlike the MWSS Regulatory office, LWUA does not regularly
review customer service response, technical applicability or economic impact.
The NWRB inherited the power to regulate private waterworks systems in 1978 when it
inherited that role as a result of the distribution of the powers stemming from the Public
Service Act. However, the NWRB is not structured to regulate utilities because it was created
to regulate water resources for all water users – hydropower, fisheries, irrigation, industrial
use, and water supply. The institutional structure necessary to properly exercise economic
regulation is not present in the NWRB.
To address these institutional conflicts, the NEDA recognized early on that one of the biggest
hindrances to the universal access to water supply and sanitation was the lack an independent
water agency with the power to grant and revoke licenses, as well as the authority to set
standards and targets for both private and public water utilities.
4.3.2.2 Proposed Reforms and Summary Key Actions
 The Water Regulatory Commission
The objective of the Water Regulatory Commission bill is to rationalize the economic regulation
of water supply and sanitation services with the creation of an independent, quasi-judicial
body consolidating the economic regulatory powers of the various water agencies into one
national body.
The proposed measure seeks to achieve the following objectives:
o Achieve universal access to improved water and sanitation services for the
Achieve universal access to improved water and sanitation services for the
entire country through an effective economic regulatory system that can
compel expansion and improvement of service
o Encourage private sector participation in the development of water and
sanitation services
o Protect the interests of consumers
o Regulate wastewater tariffs (i.e. sewerage and septage)
o Address the conflicts of interest inherent in the current regulatory agencies
 Recent Updates
In 2011, NEDA’s Infracom Sub-Committee on Water Resources endorsed the creation of an

independent water regulatory commission. USAID supported the initiative by securing
consultants to assist NEDA draft the necessary bill. The proposed bill was endorsed by NEDA
Infracom to LEDAC and was declared a priority bill at the 15th Congress. Unfortunately, the
proposed bill failed to progress beyond the committee level.
In August, 2016, NEDA Director-General Pernia announced that the creation of an

independent financial economic regulator for the water sector would be raised to LEDAC for
approval. The LEDAC is the consultative and advisory body to the President for programs and
policies that are essential to the administration’s goals for national development. The creation
of the independent regulatory body was again reflected in NEDA’s Medium Term Plan 2017-

Balancing Water Supply and Demand
While having water is a basic human right, water is also “finite, vulnerable, and has an
economic value”11. With population growth and economic development, demand for water
increases and supply becomes a serious concern, and in some parts of the country, a pressing
issue to be addressed immediately.
Key issues raised by the stakeholders during the regional consultations are
 Current insufficient water resources. Despite the abundant of water resources in the
country, there is water shortage within the population due to the varying geographical
and climate conditions across region besides the inefficient and abusive exploitation
as well as its improper use of water.
 Increasing population and economic growth. Population growth bring about increase
in demand for water and is further magnified with thriving economy, increase in waste,
and demand for decent if not luxury standard of living. Water crisis emanates from the
difficulty of the available water to cope up with increasing demand.
 Inefficient delivery of water supply. The gap between water source and the supply of
safe and affordable water is addressed by the efficiency of water service providers
(WSPs). This gap, however, remains a challenge to many WSPs who tries to serve
more households that the water source and/or the water tariff can sustain – making
delivery of water supply inefficient.
 Potential water sources may be distant and expensive to develop. For communities
where groundwater sources are not available, surface water or sea water may be their
only option. For poor communities, the cost to develop these sources is prohibitive and
unviable.
 Deteriorating quality of water resources. The intrusion of informal settlers in critical
watersheds and along riverbanks, put surface water quality in danger. Over-pumping
of wells or groundwater mining reduce groundwater storage and cause lowering of
groundwater table. This is compounded with indiscriminate disposal of generated
wastewater from the households as well as drainage water from both urban, rural (and
agricultural) areas.
 Lack of awareness on water supply and sanitation. The lack of awareness of the
population on and the relationship between water supply and sanitation has
contributed much to the scarcity and contamination of water – which has been costly
for the WSS Sector.
 Funding for WSS Infrastructure project is not a priority. Amongst the fruits of the lack
of awareness on water supply and sanitation is the non-prioritization of WSS
infrastructures.
Water Resources Potential and Water Availability per Capita
The country has a total water resources potential of 145,990 MCM per year. This comprises
the 20,200 MCM/year groundwater potential and the 125,970 MCM/year surface water
potential at 80% dependability.
While the country is endowed with natural water resources as a whole, its geographic
distribution is mostly unbiased, leaving urbanized and water-intensive user areas left with
11
The four Dublin Principles (ICWE 1992)
Page 70 of 224
water resource availability that are far less than their water demand. This, coupled with the
ever-increasing water demand by virtue of increasing population results to water shortages
and scarcity if the limited water resources are not managed well.
Among Southeast Asian countries, the Philippines ranks second from the lowest in terms of
per capita water availability per year with only 1,907 cubic meters as reflected in Table 13.
This is much lower than Asian and world averages12.

Areas where the per capita water availability drops below 1,700 m3/year experience water
stress while areas with per capita water supply below 1,000 m3/year are already experiencing
water scarcity13. Table 14 shows the total water resources potential of each WRR considering
both groundwater and surface water sources. Compared against the 2015 population of each
WRR, the water availability per capita is computed and is shown in the following table.

Of the 12 WRRs, three (3) have per capita water availability less than 1,700 CM per person
per year (WRI) threshold (at 50% surface water dependability). These are WR Regions 3, 4
and 7. The figures of interest are even lower than 1,000 CM per person per year, signifying
not only water stressed areas, but already water-scarced.
Purely relying on groundwater utilization and run-off-river development of surface water

pushes the per water capability to only 1,446 CM per year nationwide, implying that the
country is experiencing water stress. Five WR regions – 1,3,4, 5 and 7 – even have much
lower values and would have shortfalls. Note that the values for the water availability per
capita per day do not only cover domestic water supply, but also water uses for other sectors
(agricultural, industrial, commercial, power, etc.).
Focusing particularly on urbanized areas, the NWRB has also identified nine water-critical
urban areas where water is consumed intensively. This includes Metro Manila, Metro Cebu,
Davao, Baguio City, Angeles City, Bacolod City, Iloilo City, Cagayan de Oro City, and
Zamboanga City.
4.3.3.2 Rational and Objectives
Balancing water supply and demand is creating a middle ground to deal with quality of life as
far as water supply and sanitation is concerned in economic and social development. It is
addressing constraints in water supply by using several modes of how to create a balance
without significantly degrading the economy or standard of living.
The inevitability of population growth in the country led to an increase in demand on the
access, service quality, and sustainability of water supply. Addressing this demand creates a
serious challenge towards in balancing it with water supply. This challenge can be traced back
from the reality of constrained water supply affecting economic plans and programs. Water
supply is often equated with quality of life as health and sanitation need water – because
water is a driving force for life to flourish. The challenge, then, is how to ensure that
sustainable water supply to meets with the growing demand. In meeting this demand, there
is a need to have full scale utilization of water sources – both existing and untapped potential
sources – need to be optimized.
Page 72 of 224
IWRM to Address Insufficient Existing Water Resources
The implementation of the “Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)” should be

further pursued as it is the effective means to address the efficient and sustainable utilization
of the limited water resources in the country. IWRM is defined as a process that promotes the
coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources, in order to
maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without
compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. It was designed to facilitate and improve
the management of water resources in terms of social, economic, and environmental impacts.
The key factor in the proper implementation of IWRM is the creation of River Basin
Organizations. As defined by the Global Water Partnership, a River Basin Organization refers
to any formal or informal entity that manages water resources at the basin scale. Their
mandate is to take a big picture perspective and be the leading voice on basin-wide water
issues. This means keeping basin constituencies and decision makers in all sectors and at all
levels, in both the public and private sector, fully informed and involved.
Behavior Change for Increasing Population
Awareness campaign and community participation on demand management is essential to

drive the behavior change towards the conservation and protection of the environmental
resources and thus prevent the degradation and depletion of the water sources. Formulation
of ordinances at an LGU level could be a starting solution for reasonably managing the demand
requirements of the community enabling them to adapt with applicable conservation measures
and technologies. Provision of economic incentives would encourage the communities of the
LGUs to comply with these regulations until these are transformed into best practices.
Appropriate Design and Sustainable O&M Practices
An issue on inefficiencies in the delivery system commonly transpires on those water utilities
with insufficient funds to upgrade or rehabilitate their facilities. Further, the problem on system
inefficiency also arises due to poor monitoring and maintenance, where bottleneck and other
operational issues are not properly and immediately captured or addressed.
System efficiencies and appropriate design considerations includes service pressures,

optimized pipe diameters, storage and treatment facilities. For existing systems, service
efficiency improvements could be through non-revenue (NRW) reduction programs with a
program for the gradual replacement of old and deteriorating pipes.
NRW is a key performance indicator for a water utility as this generate significant effects on
its operational and financial performance through revenue losses, high operational cost, and
unnecessary wastage of treated water. A study from USAID/WBI (2010) estimated a total of
32 billion m3 of treated water annually are lost through leaks from pipe distribution networks
globally. If managed properly, this volume of treated water could still sustain a considerable
number of people without further investment required.
Conserving and Tapping Other Potential Water Sources
Water quality conservation measures as part of a watershed management program, a program

which could be initiated or implemented with DENR and the local WQMA.
Page 73 of 224
The preference for the use of surface water sources through reservoir or run-of-river diversion
structures to respond to the long-term need of replenishing groundwater reserves. Surface
water use for water supply should be integrated with integrated flood management adopted
by DPWH for river basins where sabo dams aimed to reduce floods and siltation, could be
developed to also serve as detention/retention facilities.
Harnessing estuaries and near coast river system where brackish water could be used for
domestic supply as technologies for desalination become economically viable for urban and
tourism areas.
The practice of rainwater harvesting is both a means of augmenting water supply and a
measure of conserving water. This approach should apply not only to individual buildings but
rather to large scale developments where surface run-off is collected rather than just
discharged. Land development should include now include grading, contouring and vegetation
cover to minimize excess rainfall, capture and store run-off for future use.
Wastewater reclamation reduces the volume of discharged wastewater and substitutes

freshwater being tapped for domestic supply. Re-use of treated wastewater is a water
conservation strategy that fosters environmental sustainability.
Water Demand Management
Water demand management involves the adoption of policies or investment by a water utility
or LGU to achieve efficient water use by all members of the community. A demand
management plan may involve a wide range of demand management measures including:
 Cost reflective pricing

 Universal and system metering
 Non-Revenue Water (NRW) reduction
 A communication strategy, including community education campaigns
 The use of incentives for installation and/or retrofitting of water efficient equipment
 Reduction of water use by the water utility
 Regulation of the efficiency of water using appliances, especially in new buildings
 Use of reclaimed water
 Water use restrictions
Water Supply and Sanitation Advocacy
Lack of awareness on water supply and sanitation is a negative condition that hinders the
achievement of sector’s goals and objectives. This is caused by poor access to information
and insufficient campaigns particularly those communities confronted by poverty.
Most LGUs are not technically equipped to promote WSS programs and advocacies as they
are also limited in information and experience. Their roles and responsibilities to advance the
goals and objectives of the sector becomes restricted and this often leads to poor community
participation.
In rural areas specially in isolated regions as well as the within territory of the IPs,
dissemination of adequate, factual, and timely information is mostly challenged by cultural
behaviors and traditional practices which are no longer aligned with the sector’s objectives.
Page 74 of 224
The water supply and sanitation advocacy should be supported by the national government
and initiated by the LGUs who will come up with strategic communication plan about WSS and
ensure that this direction is geared towards the achievement of access, quality and
sustainability targets of WSS. This can be gradually taken over by local leadership positions in
the barangay level to warrant that the advocacy is put into practice by the communities. The
use of current media technologies would aid as tools to reach the general public and contribute
in raising awareness, community participation, and further support from other public and
private stakeholders.
Campaign strategy through social mobilization would greatly encourage community

participation and influence policy makers to support the advocacy for the WSS sector. Rasing
of community awareness can organized by various public (LGUs, WDs) and private entities
(NGOs) which are allies in the advocacy.
Prioritize Water Supply and Sanitation Infrastructure
The realization of WSS infrastructure projects is often impeded by various factors such as
limited funding, political and social interventions, and regulatory requirements. Limited access
to financing is commonly attributed to the reluctance to borrow due to low cost recovery of
the project. Low tariffs are sometimes influenced by political and social demands and these
eventually upsets further development in the sector
In the local level, the uncertainty to expand services and coverage as well as exposure to
regulatory risks limits the investment opportunities and access to funding
It is recommended then that a bottoms–up approach to planning be sustained to strategically

mainstream WSS into the planning process from national and to local planning contexts. The
sector mainstreaming has to be backed up with legislative measures from national to local
laws to ensure that /allocation would be available to fund WSS programs and projects.
Bulk Water Strategy
The recent Bulacan Bulk Water Project is an innovative project that helped address several
key concerns in the province of Bulacan.
 By giving one company the responsibility to provide the entire bulk water requirements
of the province, it helped achieve economies of scale and scope to benefit the
consumers of the province. The resulting bulk water tariff is one of the lowest
production rates in the country.
 With salt water intrusion and the drying up of many of the Bulacan aquifers, the surface
water source provides a more reliable source for the province.
If the Bulacan Bulk Water Project can be replicated in other provinces, the long-term benefits
of these projects to help the water requirements for the entire country can be assured.

Building Climate Resiliency
It is now globally recognized that climate change is the biggest environmental problem (or
challenge) the world faces. Rising temperatures, rainfall variability, sea level rise and extreme
weather adversely affect all peoples and sectors of society everywhere although its impacts
are felt differently.
The Philippines is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change. Moody’s Investors
Service once again classified the Philippines as one of the “most vulnerable” to climate change
in an update of its 2016 list using the ND-GAIN (Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative)
indices. The Philippines was also considered one of the countries most vulnerable to climate
change by German Watch when it presented the Global Climate Risk Index. More recently,
HSBC reported that the Philippines ranked 3rd in its survey of 67 countries vulnerability to
climate risk.
The country is regularly confronted with various climate hazards such as rainfall variability,
increasing temperature, sea level rise and extreme weather conditions (i.e. temperatures that
are above 35C, rainfall exceeding 300 mm and typhoons stronger than the 30-year average).
PAGASA projections using different scenarios agree that there will generally be an increase in
rainfall for 2020 and 2050. The same models also agree that there will be increased peak
rainfall during the wet seasons and longer dry conditions during the dry seasons. 14 This
however differs in the different regions of the country with some parts of the country showing
a decreasing total rainfall while rainfall trends in in Laoag, Infanta, Tacloban, Iloilo and
Cotabato show a significant increase in both intensity and frequency.
PAGASA reported that heavy daily rainfall will continue to become more frequent. Extreme
rainfall (defined as daily rainfall exceeding 300 mm) compared with the observed baseline
values is projected to increase in Luzon and Visayas only. But number of dry days is expected
to increase in all parts of the country in 2020 and 2050. Excessive rainfall in 2004, 2006, 2008
and 2009 caused massive landslides (as experienced by Guinsaungon in Southern Leyte and
Masara in Compostela Valley in 2006 and 2008 respectively), excessive flooding and
remobilized lahar deposits (such as in Legazpi City and its vicinities due to Typhoon Reming)
causing heavy damages in the country.
Since the 1950s, the Philippine climate, like the rest of the world and the region, has been
warming. From 1951-2010, there has been an increasing trend in annual mean temperature
with annual mean temperature increasing by 0.65°C. The number of hot days has been
increasing while the number of cold nights has been decreasing.
Climate projections show that the Philippines will be even warmer in the future, relative to the
baseline climate - 1971–2000. All areas of the Philippines will get warmer, even more in the
already warmer summer months. The dry season will thus be even hotter. Under the mid-
range scenarios, climate projections show increases in annual mean temperatures by 0.9°C
to 1.1°C in the 2020s and1.8°C to 2.2°C in the 2050s. A World Bank report disclosed that
climate change increases the risk of waterborne diseases and the transmission of malaria,
with a warming of 2 to 3°C likely to put an extra 150 million people at risk for malaria.
14
2017 Philippine Climate Change Assessment; Working Group 2, Impacts, Vulnerabilities and Adaptation, OML and CCC
Page 78 of 224
“All seasonal mean temperatures will also have increases in these time slices; and these
increases during the four seasons are quite consistent in all parts of the country. Largest
temperature increase is projected during the summer (March, April, May) season”. 15
Regarding extreme temperature events, PAGASA reported that the number of days with
maximum temperature exceeding 35 C (following value used by other countries in the Asia
Pacific region in extreme events analysis) is increasing in 2020 and 2050.
Because of its geographic location, the Philippines gets hit by about 19-20 tropical cyclones
(TCs) per year. Historically, most TCs affect Northern and Southern Luzon, followed by Visayas,
and lastly Mindanao. However, there has been an increasing number in TCs recorded in
Mindanao in the last years. While there is no conclusive trend that Tropical Cyclones are
becoming more intense, three typhoons with the highest ever recorded maximum gustiness
*(i.e. Typhoons Remeng, Loleng and Yolanda) in the last 20 years hit the Philippines causing
major disruptions to water service and substantial damages to water infrastructure among
others. The increasing intensity of TCs entering the country has led PAGASA to add to the
existing TC categories (used to warn the public to take the necessary precautions or actions)
from just TC signals 1,2, and 3 to now include Super Typhoons.
Being an archipelago, the nation is surrounded by seas and has an extensive coastline, which
makes the country very vulnerable to sea level rise. Some of the worst damage from the
storms frequenting the country comes from surging sea levels. Majority of the local
governments in the country are coastal or have coastal areas. Rising temperatures due to
climate change have melted glaciers which together with the expansion of the warmer seas
has exacerbated sea level rise in these parts of the world. In 2015, the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) reported an increasing trend in sea level rise globally in the last century.
In addition, WMO also pointed out that the highest sea level rise within that period was
monitored in the Philippines at 3 times the global average.
While all sectors of society are affected by climate change, one of the most adversely affected
is the water sector.
 Impacts on Water Supply and Sanitation
Rainfall variability translates directly to changes in water supply dynamics. Water supply is
very vulnerable to variability in river flows and the replenishment rate of groundwater.
Changing rainfall patterns could mean lower flows resulting in water shortages. Intense rainfall
may not replenish groundwater as much as when rainfall is spread evenly across the year.
Extreme rainfall enhances surface run-offs and increases turbidity and in steep areas, could
trigger landslides.
Higher temperatures and longer and more intense droughts will increase evapotranspiration
that add more stress to sources of freshwater while increasing the demand for water. Lower
than average and/or prolonged dry days during the dry months may affect soil porosity and
vegetation leading to reduced soil infiltration and therefore, lower groundwater recharge, loss
of water sources due to the combined effect of declining rainfall and increasing
evapotranspiration, changes in the water quality of water sources as well as increase fire risk
in the watersheds.
15
Taken from the PAGASA website
Page 79 of 224
Sanitation concerns include damage to infrastructure and loss of services from stronger TCs,
storm surges, floods and reduced carrying capacity of waters receiving wastewater.
Droughts have immediate effects on springs and surface water (infiltration galleries, run-of-
river diversion works) but the long-term effects are on the groundwater sources which cause
lowering of water tables, increased well drawdowns, eventually inducing contamination and
possibly, saline intrusion in near-coast groundwater sources.
Sea level rise could contaminate freshwater sources as well as put at risk many water and
sanitation infrastructure located in the coastal areas.
Other factors deemed as contributing to the impacts of climate change on water resources
include degradation of water areas, unchecked extraction of groundwater, pollution due to
industrialization, saltwater intrusion and sedimentation of reservoirs. Saltwater intrusion has
already been reported to be evident in nearly 28% of coastal municipalities in Luzon, 20% in
the Visayas, and almost 29% in Mindanao. 16 This is mostly due to over-abstraction of
groundwater. Accumulation of sediments in reservoirs, on the other hand, is brought about
by increasing intensity of rainfall, combined with land-use change that reduces vegetation
cover.
 Impacts on Water Supply and Sanitation Infrastructure and Services
Concerns for WSS include damage to infrastructure from stronger TCs, storm surges and
flooding. This was clearly shown in the extent of the damages to the water supply system and
consequent prolonged service interruptions of the Cagayan de Oro Water District (COWD)
after Typhoon Sendong hit Cagayan de Oro and Iligan in 2009. Even more extensive damages
were brought about by Typhoon Yolanda to the Metro Leyte Water District in Tacloban City
and other water districts in Yolanda-affected areas.
Distribution infrastructure may be damaged by floods. Droughts may increase concentrations

of chemicals and pathogens. Contamination may also occur because water treatment systems,
source protection measures, or distribution infrastructure fail, or because of disruption to
transport and power systems that may cause water services to stop functioning or prevent
delivery of treatment chemicals.
This is more prevalent in small water supply systems, often community managed, where the
risks of microbial contamination can often be attributed to failures in the maintenance of
source protection and water distribution systems. With limited financing, resources, and
technical know-how, these small management systems also find it difficult to cope once their
existing water sources are deemed non-operational or unsustainable.
In terms of sanitation, onsite sanitation infrastructure is vulnerable to flooding and under more
severe conditions, may result in widespread spillage of fecal matter in the environment and
to contamination of drinking water supplies. Even septic systems are considered vulnerable
not only because of flooding and discharge of the tank contents into the environment, but
also because of the risk of flotation due to increased groundwater levels.
In its design for infrastructure in the country, the Department of Public Works and Highways
(DPWH) has released their own assessment of climate change impacts on hydrological and
coastal regime:
16 Perez, R. T. undated. "Assessment of vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in

the Philippines coastal resources sector”
Page 80 of 224
Table 4-7: Climate Change Impacts on the Hydrological and Coastal Regime
Climate Change Impact Impact on Hydrological and Coastal Regime
Changes in Temperature  Changes evaporation from lakes and water bodies, reducing
storage over time;
 Changes in evapotranspiration, and hence changes infiltration
losses during rainfall events. This may result in changes in
runoff during certain events
Changes in Long Term  Changes in long term rainfall affect water supply systems
Rainfall such as water reservoirs and dams and groundwater supplies;
 Affect the base flow of rivers, with subsequent environmental
and human impacts
Changes in Extreme Rainfall  Affects flood estimation. Where extreme rainfall events
increase, the flood protection of current structures will be
reduced. For example, a 100-year flood dike might be
reduced to a 50 year flood dike under a future climate change
scenario.
Changes in Sea Levels  Increases in sea level rise will reduce the protection provided
by coastal structures such as sea walls and revetments;
 Increases in saline intrusion into groundwater systems, which
may affect water supplies and environmental reliance on
these systems;
 Changes in wetland and low-lying river systems, with greater
saline intrusion. This will have a resulting impact on
environment and livelihoods that revolve around these areas.
Changes in Typhoon  The potential increase in typhoon frequency will impact
Frequency extreme rainfall (as noted above);
 Frequency of extreme winds and impacts on structures
 Storm surge, due to the typhoon and further exacerbated by
sea level rise.
Source: DPWH, Design Considerations, Guidelines, and Specifications
 Communities assured of Sustainable Water Supply Sources
On supply adaptation, it is urgent that alternative, non- traditional sources of water are
explored and developed and that existing water resources are optimized. It is equally urgent
that critical watersheds are rehabilitated and protected. This should include rainwater
harvesting and storage.
The Philippines mean average rainfall ranges from 965 to 4,064 millimeters annually. Baguio
City, Eastern Samar and Eastern Surigao receive the greatest amount of rainfall while the
southern portion of Cotabato receives the least amount of rainfall. The government spends
billions to construct flood control and drainage systems to immediately capture run-offs and
throw them into the nearest receiving body of water. While it used to be the practice in the
country for houses and buildings to have gutters (alulods) and to then collect the rain in
underground cisterns or in overhead or ground-level tanks, with urbanization and
modernization, this is now hardly practiced or even forgotten. While there was a law passed
in 198917 that requires every barangay to have rainwater collectors and storage, this has
hardly been implemented. It is estimated that the country simply throws away about 70% of
the rainwater that it gets. This is freshwater that can be used for over 70% of
domestic/municipal water needs.
17
RA 6716 - An Act Providing for the Construction of Water Wells, Rainwater Collectors, Development of Springs and
Rehabilitation of Existing Water Wells in all Barangays in the Philippines
Page 81 of 224
Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, about 15% of the basic water
needs of people is for drinking and cooking, meaning they must meet the National Drinking
Water Quality (NDRWQ) standards set by the Department of Health. This means that most of
people’s water needs (such as for laundry, flushing toilets, cleaning vehicles, floors and
driveways, watering plants) can actually be met by water with lower than drinking water
quality standards, such as rainwater. If this is what will be practiced, this will mean more
drinking water that can then be supplied to others who have no access to safe water right
now without having to look for another source or adding more treatment capacity.
Technical designs for domestic rainwater collectors have been developed by the DPWH and
can be accessed in their websites. To further strengthen and ensure this practice, legislation
at the national and local setting, could be initiated to require the provision of rainwater
harvesting and storage in subdivisions, government buildings, schools, hospitals. malls, hotels,
and all other installations.
Tapping non-traditional water sources should also include retention basins for excess run-offs
which are of considerable volume. Instead of merely collecting run offs and then throwing
them away, they should be stored and reused. Depending on what the use will be, it can also
be treated prior to its use. This was already done in the flood prone area within the Bonifacio
Global City (BGC) in Taguig City, Metro Manila. The developers wanted to ensure that BGC
would not get flooded. They identified the lowest point in the area where flood waters naturally
accumulated and developed/constructed a 6-storey tall building below ground. This serves as
a very big cistern which collects all the run-offs so it does not flood. This can be replicated in
other parts of the country. Storage could be something similar to what BCDA did or man-
made lagoons, small water impounding systems or dams. In fact, to prevent flooding in the
first place, small water impounding systems should also constructed upstream. These will not
only prevent flooding downstream but will also provide water for people living in the uplands
and support upland agriculture. With continuous flow, it could even provide micro-hydro power
to these upland communities. Guidelines for the design and cost of setting up small water
impounding systems have been developed by the Forest Management Bureau of the DENR18
and can be accessed in their website.
Comprehensive watershed management is also strongly recommended. Watershed

management programs of the watershed areas are key steps in preventing degradation and
in rehabilitating the country’s critical watersheds. This must include protection measures to
protect all remaining forested areas not just by setting up patrols and watch towers but more
importantly to address the need for income by poor upland dwellers who rely on the forest
for their livelihood. These could be firewood gatherers or charcoal makers who have no access
to other livelihood opportunities and thus cut wood to provide food for their families or practice
kaingin to have some land where they can plant. Sustainable alternative livelihood projects
must be developed in consultation with the possible buyers of whatever will be produced.
Communities must be made aware of the value of watersheds to their own lives and mobilized
to help in watershed protection and rehabilitation. Both concerned government agencies and
private entities should also undertake strict implementation of existing forestry rules and
regulations.
The use of surface water sources, especially multiple purpose reservoir systems should be
pursued more aggressively. Multi-purpose water resources systems would be able to serve
domestic (municipal) water use, agriculture (through irrigation), hydropower and in the event
18
FMB Technical Bulletin No. 15 - Supplemental Standard Cost and Design for Small Water Impounding Project (SWIP)
Page 82 of 224
of tropical storms, provide flood attenuation as well mitigate excess flows through controlled
flow spillways. In relation to multipurpose reservoirs, water allocation is also a powerful tool
for managing the demand for water. In times of drought or emergency, the
domestic/municipal sector gets priority to withdraw water from these sources as provided by
the Water Code of the Philippines.
On the side of demand adaptation, Water Demand Management (WDM) must be adopted and
practiced. WDM simply means getting the most from the water one has and includes any
policy and action that reduces the amount of freshwater one uses, or that keeps water cleaner
in the course of a particular use than it otherwise would be. It includes the use of public policy,
laws, rates, measures and practices to reduce water use for the goal of securing long-term,
reliable, affordable and safe supply of water for the benefit of society and the environment
and maintain public health and safety. It is different from drought response actions
implemented as quick short-term solutions to short-term problems only. Water efficiency,
water conservation, reuse and recycling of water, reduction of leaks and non-revenue water
for water supply systems are all part of WDM.
WDM is essential for all water users but more importantly, for the agricultural sector which
consumes about 80% of the country’s total freshwater resources. Enhancement of irrigation
efficiency is therefore one of the priority actions that should be undertaken. The sector’s low
water use efficiency due to technical and institutional deficiencies results in water loss that
could have been used for other purposes. Some of the possible responses to enhance irrigation
efficiency in the NIA systems are changing the cropping schedule to reduce the demand for
irrigation at the end of the dry season and lining canals to reduce water losses. Less water-
intensive technologies of cultivating rice which has been promoted by some NGOs like the
Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (PRRM) and proven to produce equal or even more
harvest should be adopted and widely promoted by the Department of Agriculture. Incentives
could probably be provided to those who use less water-intensive technologies to encourage
behavioural change among the country’s farmers. In addition, the NIA’s program to maximize
the use of available water should also include the construction of reservoir-type projects and
redesigning of irrigation facilities to reuse return flows.
In the municipal/domestic water sub-sector (which include households, commercial and

institutional uses) and the industrial sectors, water efficiency standards through product
standards should be enforced. Appropriate water use efficiency labels should be placed on
plumbing and sanitary fixtures to guide consumers on what to buy, similar to the Energy
Efficiency Ratings (EER) which some electrical appliances have. Water saving devices such as
aerators which save as much as 30 percent of the water consumption of a given water fixture
such as a faucet or a showerhead must likewise be promoted.
Reuse or recycling of water is also highly recommended. Treated wastewater can also be
considered another non-traditional water source. The recycling and re-use of treated
wastewater is allowed under Section 22 of RA 9275 The Clean Water Act section on Linkage
Mechanism which states that c) Department of Agriculture shall coordinate with the
Department, in the formulation of guidelines for the re-use of wastewater for irrigation and
other agricultural uses and for the prevention, control and abatement of pollution from
agricultural and aquaculture activities: Provided, That discharges coming from non-point
sources be categorized and further defined pursuant to this Act.
To operationalize this, in 2007, DA already issued DAO No. 26 - Guidelines on the Procedure
and Technical Requirements for the Issuance of a Certification allowing the Safe Reuse of
Wastewater for Purposes of Irrigation and other Agricultural Uses. The National Irrigation
Page 83 of 224
Administration (NIA) was mandated to implement the said policy. Unfortunately, this is not
happening. NIA must be taken to task to do its job.
Some hotels and malls have been recycling the treated wastewater from their Sewage
Treatment Plants (STPs) to once again flush the toilets in their establishments, savings millions
of cubic meters of water and at the same time saving them millions of pesos. In Singapore,
some treated wastewater is even treated up to drinking water quality and now accounts for
about 10 percent of the total water consumption of the city state.
Industries and commercial establishments are encouraged to adopt measures to reuse their
treated effluents for other secondary purposes. It can be used for cooling towers, cleaning
vehicles and driveways, watering plants (if any within its premises) and flushing toilets. Some
companies within the LLDA jurisdiction recycle all their treated wastewater to avoid paying
the Environmental User Fee (EUF) 19 proving that economic instruments work to change
behavior. This means zero discharge which is good for the environment. At the same time,
existing water supply is optimized thus reducing demand for new water supply. It also means
millions of pesos saved.
In the case of irrigation systems, drainage water reuse is another possibility for extending the
supply of water. Water used for power generation may be rechanneled for domestic use and
irrigation. Households are likewise encouraged to reuse grey water for flushing and cleaning
toilets and driveways.
To enable the above-mentioned reforms, it is important that the following concrete actions
are undertaken in the short to medium term:
1. The Office of the President must be encouraged to issue an Executive Order which
will require all government agencies and LGUs to install rainwater harvesting and
storage in their buildings. All new building construction and land development must
also be required to include RWH in their plans. This will give government the moral
ascendancy to require this of others. The EO should also mandate the immediate
implementation of the DPWH design guidelines which require the integration of
retention or retarding basins in flood control and drainage projects.
2. The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) should require all LGUs to
pass local Ordinances requiring that all new developments in their areas must now
install rainwater harvesting and storage.
3. The existing program of DPWH to construct rainwater harvesting and storage

facilities in government buildings, schools and health centers nationwide must be
expanded and funded.
4. Section 6.8 of the DPWH Design Guidelines, Criteria and Standards (DGCS released
in 2015) on detention basins should be widely disseminated and strictly
implemented. This was issued based on a 21 Jun 2011 Memorandum of former
DPWH Secretary Singson’s which stated that “The provision of underground
detention tanks as part of storm water management systems, particularly in flood
prone areas to temporarily store flood waters shall be a consideration in the design
19
EUF refers to the fee levied on dischargers of treated wastewater for using the environment specifically the water and /or land
resources for waste disposal purposes or receptacle facility. The fee is assessed according to each unit of discharge and is
higher if the discharge exceeds he effluent standards set based on the water classification of the receiving water body.
Page 84 of 224
of the drainage system” Engineers of LGUs and the local offices of DPWH should be
trained on how to properly design and construct and maintain these basins.
5. LGUs should issue the appropriate Ordinances to implement the provisions of the
proposed EO on rainwater harvesting and Section 6.8 of the DPWH Design
Guidelines, Criteria and Standards (DGCS released in 2015) on retention basins.
6. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) should issue

Guidelines on the reuse of treated wastewater. This must be developed in
consultation with concerned stakeholders. Possible incentives to encourage this
practice must be explored.
7. The DPWH should revise the Building Code and the Plumbing Code to include more
stringent standards for water efficiency of water fixtures.
8. The Department of Agriculture must widely disseminate and strictly implement DAO
No 26 – 2007 on the safe reuse of treated wastewater for purposed of irrigation and
other agricultural purposes.
9. The Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS) of the Department of Trade and Industry
must issue guidelines requiring all manufacturers, importers and distributors of water
fixtures sold in the country to now be properly labelled as to their water efficiency.
10. DENR should enter into more co-management agreements with other agencies, LGUs
and other stakeholders including multi-stakeholder groups like River Basin
Organizations (RBOs), Watershed Management Council and Water Quality
Management Associations (WQMAs) for the protection and rehabilitation of
watersheds within their areas.
11. The creation of a water and sanitation committee (WATSAN) under the
municipal/city development council to implement the foregoing actions is also
recommended.
 Water Supply and Sanitation Systems are “engineered” and enhanced to be

Climate Resilient20
Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) into the planning systems is
a must. There is also a need to integrate disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation
(DRR/CCA) into various environmental policies, plans, programs and projects. Planning,
location, design and construction of new water and sanitation systems should be done
considering climate (and geologic) risks following information, data and regulations from
concerned government agencies. Climate Projections from PAGASA, Hazard Maps from the
Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), approved and updated LGU Comprehensive Land Use
Plan (CLUPs) which should now include DRRM Hazard and Risk Plans should likewise be
referred to.
Sanitation systems should also be designed to consider changes in wastewater characteristics

brought about by changes in the eco-systems. Disposal and treatment facilities to be located
(as per the latest CLUPs) should incorporate Climate Change Adaptation as well as consider
the local DRRM Plan. Provisions for projected sea level rise should be taken into consideration.
20
Page 85 of 224
The use of climate resilient water safety plans as a risk management tool may also be an
effective approach for climate resilience in water supply service provision. All existing Water
and Sanitation Facilities must also be improved or otherwise retrofitted to adopt to DRR/CCA
requirements. Figures 1 and 2 provide an overview of the likely adaptability and vulnerability
of water and sanitation technologies to climate change risks and impacts. This could be a
guide on which measures to undertake to ensure WSS facilities are climate proof as it
addressed rainfall variability.

As stipulated in the latest Design Considerations, Guidelines and Specifications of the

Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), climate change considerations must be
incorporated in all infrastructure projects. Some of the specific CCA measures suggested are
given below in the following tables:

Approach Recommendation
General Approach Incorporate a 10% increase in rainfall intensity in the design. For
example, a 100-year rainfall intensity is increased by 10%.
Alternative Approach This sensitivity analysis should consider increases in rainfall intensities
of 10% and determine the likely impact on the proposed hydraulic
design. In some situations, there will be minimal impacts, while in
others the differences in flood levels will be more significant. Where
the cost implications are significant, then consideration for a Planned
Upgrade approach should be considered. (Design should include a
possible upgrade, e.g. an increase in height or freeboard, in the
future).

Approach Recommendation
General Approach Allow for a 0.3 m sea level rise in the design.
Alternative Approach Determine the likely impacts of a 0.3 m sea level rise. Refer to
potential for Planned Upgrade.
For existing facilities, reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts toward “climate proofing” public
water systems (including community-based ones) must be done. It is crucial to enhance the
resilience of water supply by rehabilitating water sources and watersheds, improving
sanitation facilities, instituting structural and non-structural measures for ‘climate proofing’
and equipping the public and community to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
The USAID-funded Be Secure project which was primarily implemented to assist LGUs and
water service providers (WSP) understand the climate hazards in their areas and implement
appropriate CCA measures developed two knowledge products which can serve as reference
for making WSS climate resilient - The Toolkit for Climate-Resilient Water Utility Operations
and Climate -Resilient Water Infrastructure: Guidelines and Lessons from the USAID Be Secure
Project. The Guidelines and Lessons documented concrete actions which were taken to build
back better the water systems in Leyte which were damaged by Typhoon Yolanda including,
among others:
1. Lessons that Affect Design Considerations

2. Sensitivity of Materials Used in Water Supply Construction: Findings from post-Yolanda
Damage Assessments
3. Strategic Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation
4. Climate Change Adaptation Options for Water Infrastructure for Different Climate
Drivers
These knowledge products can be useful references for WSPs to guide their planning for new
WSS infrastructure or retrofit existing ones to make them more climate resilient. This can be
accessed through the USAID Philippine website23 or at globalwaters.org.

To operationalize the above-mentioned reforms, the following actions need to be undertaken

in the short to medium term (up to 2022):
1. The PAGASA climate projections must be widely disseminated and explained to WSPs
nationwide.
2. The MGB geohazard maps showing areas which are prone to flooding , landslides, land
subsidence, tsunamis and storm surges must likewise be widely disseminated and
explained to WSPs nationwide.
3. WSS infrastructures must be designed based on the DPWH Design Considerations and
Specifications for Climate-resilient Hydraulic Structures.
4. HLURB and DILG must issue guidelines requiring land developers and LGUs to adopt
the above-mentioned DPWH Guidelines. HLURB must only approve applications which
are in conformity with the said Guidelines.
5. The NEDA Water Resources Division (WRD) of the Infrastructure Staff must review all
WSS proposed projects now pending the approval of the Investment Coordinating
Council (ICC) to ensure that they have incorporated CCA measures to make them
climate-resilient.
6. Capacity building programs must be designed and implemented for WSS decision-
makers and personnel to enable them to properly design, construct and operate WSS
systems that are climate-resilient.
7. The Philippine Association of Water Districts (PAWD) in partnership with LWUA can
conduct a series of training sessions on planning for, building and operating climate-
resilient WSS systems.
 Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Framework and Climate

Change
The Philippines from the start of the 21st century, cognizant of the state of water resources
and the need for judicious water management, formulated and adopted a series of policies
and plans, with Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as its core.
The structure of the Integrated Philippine IWRM Framework Identified Sustainable Outcomes
that reflect the development aspirations for IWRM:
1. Effective Protection and Regulation for Water Security and Eco-System Health (Water
Allocation, Groundwater Management, Achieving Clean and Healthy Water, Managing and
Mitigating Risks from Climate Change and Water Related Disasters)
2. Sustainable Water Resources and Responsive Services for Present and Future Needs
(Water Efficiency, Water Conservation, Water Supply and Sanitation Services)
3. Improve Effectiveness, Accountability, and Synergy Among Water Related Institutions and
Stakeholders (Water Governance, Knowledge Management, Capacity Building)
4. Adaptive and Pro-Active Responses to Future Challenges (Water Sensitive Design, Water
Rights Trading)
The Clean Water Act of 2004, the IWRM Plan Framework in 2007, the Climate Change Act of
2009 and the National Framework Strategy Climate Change of 2010 are among the key
initiatives that should guide water supply and sanitation services in the country to ensure
climate-resiliency.

 Ensuring Effective Water and Sanitation Facilities during Extreme Events

and Disasters
With the frequency of storms and typhoons visiting the Philippines and the inclusion of
especially violent and devastating ones in recent years, the government has tightened its
disaster preparedness and response strategies. These encompass not only weather-related
events but other natural disasters from geologic hazards that the country is vulnerable to as
well.
well. In the aftermath of these disasters, one of the most pressing concerns for evacuees and
survivors is the access to clean and safe water and to sanitation. Promotion of good hygiene
behavior is also a top priority during these events. Aside from food supplies and other basic
necessities, emergency responses of the government and other humanitarian aid should
include provision of clean drinking-water or purification mechanisms, construction of
temporary sanitation infrastructure and conduct of hygiene trainings. Adequate and effective
water and sanitation services should be mobilized immediately during disasters and this would
be especially important in evacuation sites where affected people would congregate.
While response programs of most agencies and other external sources range from rapid and
limited interventions in acute emergencies to comprehensive long-term interventions in
complex emergencies, it is also imperative that locals of areas hit by disasters are capacitated
enough to deal with the after-effects of extreme events. Local water and sanitation personnel
(WDs, BAWASAs, RWSA’s, LGU-WSS) must be trained to facilitate the provision of water and
sanitation facilities in disaster-stricken areas and identified evacuation sites. Water and
sanitation personnel and water and sanitation providers (WSPs) are able to provide technical
(and in the long-term, financial) assistance to communities within their service areas to rebuild
and rehabilitated affected facilities. WSS Emergency Response Plans must be prepared by all
WSPs. Orientation and capacity building for Disaster Risk Reduction must be conducted for all
WSS officials and staff.
In addition to the usual portable toilets that are mobilized, plans for properly managing the
sewage/septage that will be generated must also be planned for. Low-cost treatment options
which can easily be put in place such as the use of lime stabilization ponds (which was
deployed in Tacloban City after Typhoon Yolanda) should be explored and more widely
disseminated and taught. The Guidelines on the Use of Lime Stabilization Ponds produced by
the Be Secure project can also be accessed on the USAID website.
Conclusion. Accelerated infrastructure development is one of the main features of the

Philippines’ Development Plan 2017-2022, as it is expected to lead to sustainable economic
development, inclusive growth and poverty reduction. Improvement in the country’s
infrastructure programs, particularly those directly providing basic services for people’s health,
education, and housing requires the provision of safe, efficient, reliable, cost–effective, and
sustainable water supply and sanitation systems. This can only be achieved by building
capacities of all key stakeholders and mainstreaming climate resiliency in WSS.

Creating Effective Water Supply and Sanitation Institutions
The problem of low access and poor quality of water supply and sanitation services in the
Sector Assessment phase of the Study was traced mainly to the lack of organized and well
running water utilities and overall lack of capacity of the LGUs to undertake their obligation of
ensuring water supply and sanitation services under Section 17 of the Local Government Code.
There were a lot of efforts that were undertaken at both the national and local levels, but it
appears that the interventions made have not been effective or were lacking in some areas
(particularly in the lower-class municipalities and rural areas of the country). This was the
most significant finding in the 16 regional consultations that were undertaken during the
course of the Study. The reason being—for the most part—political, as the provision of water
supply and sanitation services operates within a very politicized environment under the LGU.
And while there is nothing new in the findings, it can be concluded that the same problem
that has confronted the sector has not been dealt with effectively—at least not in the past 20
years.

LWUA and WDs.
The same problem of water service provision was already addressed 45 years ago with the
enactment of PD 198, when quasi-public corporations or water districts were created in 1973.
To lessen the political interference in the operation and management of water utilities, water
districts were established in lieu of the NAWASA—a move that was supposedly the answer to
low access and poor service delivery. In the 1990s, however, the creation of water districts
came to a halt due to conflicting initiatives in addressing problems in the sector. There were
different views on how the sector should be organized, and while PD 198 would have been a
ready and feasible solution, it was an unpopular choice—especially among LGUs who did not
want to lose their power and control over the water utility industry. The LWUA, which was
supposedly the lead organization in the establishment and capacity building of water districts,
Page 94 of 224
was faced with similar challenges—foremost of which was its deteriorating financial capacity.
Its capitalization level was exceeded and was not able to get sufficient funding to meet the
needs of the water districts. There was also a time when the sector lost its confidence in
LWUA and in the entire LWUA–Water District model. Many influencers in the sector looked for
solutions other than making use of PD 198.
In the 869 water districts that have since been established since 1973, 231 are still non-
functional as of end of 2017. The current administration of LWUA is seriously looking into
increasing the number of operational WDs.
Many years after PD 198 was enacted, and as of 2015 to be exact, the sector remains to be
underdeveloped and fragmented. According to the Listahang Tubig study, there are about
22,000+ water service providers throughout the country, distributed among 1,634 LGUs. In
spite of the big number of service providers, a big part of the sector is unorganized. This refers
to the 45% of the population who have individual Level 1 sources.
DILG and Its Programs.
Under OPDS, the DILG created the Water Supply and Sanitation Program Management Office
(WSSPMO) with the objective to develop and strengthen LGU capabilities in planning,
financing, implementation and management of water supply and sanitation programs and
projects within the framework of Integrated Water Resources Management. However, unlike
the LWUA, which is a dedicated support agency, the DILG-WSSPMO is a project office
designed to man¬age specific foreign-assisted water and sanitation projects.
Their functions include:
1. Advocacy. Advocate watsan sector policies updates, strategies and approaches, best
practices and lessons learned, and various technology options;
2. Brokering / Access to Financing. Provide and bring access to financing of LGU watsan
projects and technical assistance cooperation, and match capability requirements with
financing institutions.
3. Capacity Building. Strengthen DILG WatSan partners at the provincial and municipal
levels through the conduct and administering trainings on watsan related activities,
include social preparation and community development in the formation of rural and
barangay water and sanitation associations, and package training programs on watsan
development;
4. Database Management. Maintain national data management system related to plans,
programs, and watsan activities, and establish benchmarking system to improve LGU
–managed water utilities; and
5. Monitoring and Evaluation. Monitor the progress of the WATSAN implementation as
well as the results and outcomes of the interventions, and document lessons learned
as basis for future intervening programs & projects.
The DILG has implemented the Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig Para sa Lahat (Salintubig) Program
since 2012 after its transfer from DOH and the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC). The
Program was designed to provide water supply systems for the 455 waterless municipalities
(as of 2010), waterless barangays, waterless health centers, and waterless resettlement sites;
and enhance the capacity of the LGUs/water service providers in the planning,
implementation, and operation of water supply facilities. The implementation was transferred
to DILG in 2012 and has brought down the 455 waterless municipalities to 332 as of 2015. It
has been reported that the Program has benefitted some 382,851 households as of June 2017.
Page 95 of 224
Additionally, the DILG has also implemented the Bottom-Up Budgeting (BUB) Program since
2013 which aims to strengthen local communities’ participation in national budget formulation
and budget implementation. The BUB program covers projects for various sectors of the
country including the water sector. It has since then benefitted some 840,381 households as
of 2016.
The department will soon help implement the Assistance to Disadvantaged Municipalities
Program (ADM) for water supply and sanitation projects. Additionally, the DILG’s PAMANA
Program, which provides subsidy and technical assistance for infrastructure projects in
conflict-affected communities, also has a subcomponent dedicated to funding water supply
projects.
To enable the sustainability of proposed investments in the water supply and sanitation sector,
it is necessary that there are organized service providers for water supply and sanitation, there
is coordinated planning and development of concerned agencies, and there is a working and
effective regulatory environment. Foremost among the three pillars of the sector, it is
necessary to have well-running water utilities that are able to implement the programs and
ensure its sustainability. In the choice of the management model, it is crucial to consider the
model that has the least political interference. In this case, it is the water district model. There
have been various proposed reforms to address the issues of coordinated and harmonized
planning and development and of establishing a single regulatory body. The proposed bills
are active, particularly the bills of the Department of Water that call for the harmonized
development and management of water resources and related services in the country. There
is also the proposed bill on the creation of the Water Regulatory Commission. While it will be
ideal to have both bills passed and implemented as soon as possible, the timing of
implementation is difficult to predict, so meanwhile these proposed reforms have to be
supported by immediate parallel activities not requiring the passage of a law to help the
achieve the targets for water and sanitation in the short-term, specifically by 2022. This could
be made possible thru invoking existing laws such as the PD 198, the Local Govt. Code, the
Clean Water Act and others.
The enactment of PD 198 aims to address the efficient provision of water supply and sanitation
services. To this date, the law remains valid and is an instrument that the government can
use to effect improvements in the water supply and sanitation sector in areas that are lagging
behind. Surprisingly—while this law with its various amendments continues to be an effective
tool for establishing and developing water utilities and enable the provision of both water
supply and sanitation services—many LGUs have not opted to establish water districts in their
areas. The spirit and effectiveness of PD 198 has diminished over the years as the government
failed to use it as an instrument to address problems in the sector.
To ensure the attainment of the targeted objectives in the water supply and sanitation sector,
below are the key recommendations for a more effective and responsive institutional
arrangement in the sector.
1. Reorganize water supply and sanitation provision in a way that will result
to more improved and sustainable service delivery. Water supply and sanitation
provision outside of Metro Manila shall continue to be the responsibility of the local
Page 96 of 224
government units. This responsibility however is to be delegated to the water district

or to the LGU-led water utility that will be named as the main service provider in the
LGUs. All budget for interventions to improve and increase access shall be coursed
through the water districts or through the LGU itself in the case of an operational LGU
water utility. This applies to ongoing projects such as the Salintubig and Assistance to
Municipalities, and other projects that are implemented by the DILG, DPWH, DOH and
others.
DILG shall continue to assist LGUs with Level 3 water systems but only in the form of capacity
building assistance to non-water districts. They shall assist in the development, packaging,
and implementation of infrastructure projects for Level 1 and 2 systems only. Preparation and
implementation of infrastructure projects shall be undertaken by the water districts or by LGU-
led water utilities or thru designated service providers by the LGUs.
The envisaged landscape in service provision by 2022 and 2020 is summarized in the following
table.
Table 4-11: Projected Water Supply and Sanitation Coverage in 2022 and 2030
From the table above, it can be seen that the coverage of WDs is expected to double in 2022.
RWSAs will be required to be annexed to WDs before the end of 2022. BWSA, cooperatives,
and other CB water organizations shall be amalgamated into the existing water district or LGU
run utility where feasible or when they graduate to Level 3 water systems.
Organize the provision of Level 2 systems in collaboration with NGO, CBOs where the LGUs
will support the cost of the infrastructure. The LGUs shall authorize the establishment of Level
2 systems to ensure that there are no conflicting or parallel systems established and that
those allowed to operate shall be sustainable. The LGUs shall be involved insofar as planning
and development of the entire sector, in the allocation of resources for Level 1 and 2 systems,
and in the review and monitoring of WSPs performance and maintenance of a water supply
and sanitation database for the entire LGU on the sector.
2. Delegate the provision of WSS services preferably to the Water Districts.

Adopt the management model with the least political element and the one that
balances social responsibility with sustainability of services. The WD as created under
PD 198 is still the most appropriate management model and is less exposed to political
interference than the LGU-led water utility. Thus, the formation of water districts
(where there are no established formal utilities and conversion of LGU led water
utilities to water districts) will be strongly encouraged.
Page 97 of 224
However, the establishment of WDs shall continue to be optional. For LGUs who opt to remain
status quo, a certain level of operational efficiency and viability thru alternative means (such
as partnerships/collaboration with the private sector) will have to be attained.
By the end of 2022, it is aimed to have at the minimum 869 operational water districts, which
is about half of the total LGUs in the country. The increase from 521 operational WD to 869
WDs will either come from the non-functional WDs that were already established and/or from
ones that are yet to be created. The targeted no. of WDs came from LWUA’s roadmap
prepared for 2018 to 2022.
By virtue of an EO that will be proposed as part of this Study, the targeted no. of water
districts will be established in the next four (4) years. The needed investments to support the
operationalization of the non-functional water districts and the cost of initial physical
improvements to operate the system was determined and included as part of the investment
program under this master plan.
3. Strengthen LGUs led water utilities. LGUs with organized water utilities that are
not performing well will be encouraged to convert into water districts or partner with
a private water service provider to ensure the improvement of the performance (as
well as the sustainability) of the water utility. LGUs with committed allocation under
the LGSF program of the govt. for 2019 will be given priority for capacity building.
Water utilities that are not yet formally organized will be established as soon as
possible. Otherwise, a performance improvement program for these utilities will be
implemented before any infrastructure project [will be implemented].
4. Encourage partnership with the private sector. Partnerships with the

private sector will be encouraged and implemented when there is an
existing robust regulatory environment in the sector. With the enormous task
of increasing access and improving services and the corresponding investments that
are needed, the other stakeholders such as the consumer and the private sector have
to work with the government. Partnerships with the private sector though have to
happen under an environment where there is a strong and independent regulatory
environment to ensure that the consumers’ interests are protected.
5. Form partnership with water users’ organization. For LGUs where private sector
investors will not be interested in partnerships, LGUs will be encouraged to set up a
JV with water users’ to invest, operate and maintain the system. The water users,
claimholders or the community itself shall be organized into a partnership with the
government wherein they will invest in kind or in cash These are the smaller and
financially distressed LGUs that are targeted to be given grants to subsidize capital
investments. The community will be actively engaged and will be given the opportunity
to partner with the government in establishing, investing and operating/maintaining
the system. As co-owners of the system, there is better assurance that the community
will fulfill their obligations as consumers so that they will not be totally dependent on
grants and subsidy from the government.
Page 98 of 224
Medium-Term (2023 -2028)
1. Cluster and amalgamate water utilities to achieve greater efficiency in

service delivery. For economies of scale, smaller and adjacent municipalities will be
encouraged to come together and form a water and sanitation authority (WSA). The
water authority shall delegate the function to an existing water district or districts
where the largest and most mature water district could be appointed to lead. Other
smaller water districts shall be amalgamated to the appointed water district. The
amalgamation of municipalities shall be encouraged but will not be made mandatory.
Water utilities except those with existing franchise shall be turned-over to the WSA
and shall be operated by the water district.
2. The Provincial Government shall be more involved in the water supply and
sanitation sector. It in envisioned in the future for the provincial government to be
more involved in the water supply and sanitation sector. It could undertake a
monitoring role on the situation of WSS in each of the municipality and lead programs
for the exploration and development of bulk water supply systems and other programs
that will promote sustainable water supply and sanitation services in the province.
There are existing good practices of the province’ engagement in the WSS sector such
as the Provincial Government of Cavite which have been undertaking studies to ensure
the sustainability of water sources. In Iloilo Provincial Capitol, there is a Rural Water
Supply and Sanitation Program Office under the Office of the Provincial Engineer that
is in charge of WSS since 2010.
3. Department of Water. The creation of an apex body which will ensure that the
conservation, utilization, control and management of water resources shall be
undertaken in a comprehensive, integrated and coordinated manner is being proposed.
This apex body, to be called the Department of Water (DoW), will be a line agency
which will ensure a comprehensive, well-integrated and coordinated planning and
execution of water projects, including the continuing task of water resources survey
and appraisal, to achieve an orderly and scientific development as well optimum
utilization and control of our water resources to meet the present and future water
needs of the country.
The Department will be responsible for the control, management and protection of the
country’s water resources for domestic water supply, sanitation, irrigation,
hydropower, fisheries, aquaculture, flood control, navigation and recreation, including
the enhancement and maintenance of water quality for ecosystem protection. At its
core will be the NWRB, which was actually created to be the apex body for water
management when it was created by virtue of PD 424 in 1974 as the National Water
Resources Council. As such, it will absorb all the Regulatory and Executory and
Advisory and Recommendatory functions, powers and duties of the NWRC stated in
Section 2 of PD424. This regulatory role is based on the provision of the Water Code
of the Philippines (PD 198 in 1973) which states that “the utilization, exploitation,
development, control, conservation or protection of water resources shall be subject
to the control and regulation of the government through the National Water Resources
Council”.

Building Capacities
In order to reorganize and establish capable and sustainable water utilities, it is necessary
that there are dedicated agencies that look after the institutional development of these
utilities. In the case of water districts, the task of capacity development is vested with the
LWUA while that of LGU managed water utilities and a big part of CBOs are being undertaken
mainly by DILG.
The capacity building program under the PWSSMP shall cover the water utilities, LWUA, DILG
and working towards a stronger collaboration and partnership with NGOs, academe and civil
society organizations.

The need to establish more water districts and to develop them institutionally require a
dedicated organization like the LWUA. With its unique specialized lending function combined
with providing technical assistance and regulation as a consequence of the lending function,
LWUA has a massive role in establishing more water districts in the next five (5) years. Aside
from this major task, it is faced with bigger challenges of helping improve the performance of
poor performing WDs, and putting non-performing WDs into operational state.
Page 100 of 224

At the moment, there is no other agency other than the LWUA that can take on the said tasks.
To create another agency is not an option as a lot of work need to be done to attain the
access targets. The more practical and feasible thing to do would be to rehabilitate LWUA,
increase its workforce to meet the huge tasks ahead, and provide it with the necessary
resources.
Currently, LWUA is struggling with a depleted work force as many of its of staff have reached
retirement age. They have not been able to recruit new staff as the proposed reorganization
which was submitted last year has yet to get one final signature of the Dept. of Budget and
Management as of this Report. With less than 300 people as compared initially to its workforce
of 700 people in the 1980’s is definitely a challenge when there are surmounting tasks that
LWUA should be addressing. There have been a lot of complaints from water districts
(especially from smaller ones) stating that they have not been receiving technical and financial
assistance from LWUA. Whereas before LWUA could dedicate management advisors that are
able to spend a significant amount of time on the institutional development of water districts,
the same can’t be done nowadays due to a small workforce. With a ratio of 30 water districts
for each management advisor, visits to water districts have been rare and irregular.
Aside from its shrinking workforce, LWUA has not been receiving appropriate financial support
from the government. For 2019, it was allotted only Php 330 Million, which is a rather small
portion of the requested budget for projects of Php 3.0 billion pesos.
Rationale and Objectives
1. Having a capable and agile Local Water Utilities Administration.
The growth of water districts is highly dependent on a strong and capable LWUA. A significant
portion of the targeted access in 2002 will come from water districts – existing, those that will
be operationalized and yet to be established. With such huge targets, a dedicated agency like
the LWUA will be key to achieving the goal of a 95% water supply and 97% sanitation
coverage. It should be noted that after 45 years in existence, despite all the challenges that
LWUA has faced in the past mainly the lack of funds to finance projects, LWUA has achieved
a lot in the water supply sector.
2. More dynamic, professionally run and commercially oriented water districts.
While WDs have been found in many studies to be better performing than the LGU led water
utilities, they have to be more agile and dynamic to respond to emerging issues that impact
on their performance. Operating systems and procedures have to be reviewed and updated
especially during this age of digitalization. The tariff setting methodology for WDs needs also
to be reviewed in line with achieving greater financial sustainability.
3. Towards a more efficient and effectively run LGU led water utilities.
LGU led water utilities should step up if they are to deliver better services and attain service
coverage targets. Achieving greater operational efficiency and effectiveness could be achieved
by partnering and learning from privately managed water utilities or in collaboration with the
better managed WDs.

Proposed Reforms and Summary of Key Actions
1. Develop and implement a comprehensive strengthening program of LWUA.
Taking into consideration the anticipated growth in the number of water districts by end of
2022. This program shall include a proposed reorganization of LWUA that shall be able to
respond to the changing needs of the water districts such as transaction advisory assistance
to water districts entering into PPP arrangements, appropriate technologies to address issues
of climate risks and geologic hazards.
LWUA shall go back to its original mandate as provider of institutional development assistance
focusing on nascent and struggling water utilities.
The following are suggested to be given priority:
 Providing dedicated management advisory services and related institutional

development assistance (financial management, operations and maintenance,
planning and design of water and sanitation systems)
 Reviving and strengthening its training division that undertakes specialized programs
for WDs;
 Creation of a sanitation unit within LWUA
 Creation of a regulatory and transaction review unit in LWUA to assist WDs with PPP
proposals.
2. Provide LWUA adequate funding and financing to be able to support its

programs for WDs.
In the next five (5) years, LWUA needs to be supported with both grant funds and funds to
support its increased operations. With the doubling of the WDs that LWUA will assist in the
next five (5) years, its personnel requirements are also projected to double. This means a
100% increase in current operating expenses for LWUA plus the additional cost of
development assistance to the WDs.
The DBM should be convinced to invest more in LWUA and for its part LWUA should find ways
to improve its disbursement performance. Unless a compromise is reached between these 2
agencies, there is a very slim chance that the PWSSIIP will be successful.
3. Strengthen water districts and LGU led water utilities providing Level 3
service.
Water utilities that will participate in the investment program of the govt. shall be required to
undergo a strengthening program to ensure the sustainability of investments. The program
to develop and improve the performance of these utilities shall be prepared, undertaken and
led by LWUA in collaboration with the Phil. Association of Water Districts for Level 3 operations.
Water Districts:
In addition, certain reforms on how the legal and regulatory environment (NWRB, DoF, DBM,
CSC and in particular COA) that impact on LWUA and WD operations should be introduced.
With the Supreme Court Ruling of 1991 making WDs local GOCCs, some regulatory guidelines
have affected negatively the expediency and efficiency of WD operations. These proposed
reforms that were recommended by the PAWD themselves are as follows:
Page 102 of 224

 To include in the proposed Executive Order a redefinition of the fiscal autonomy of

WDs (since WDs do not receive any subsidy from local or national governments).
 For COA to issue a circular to audit only funds coming from the government (e.g. grant
from local or national government); there should be uniformity of audit by the auditors
(e.g. some auditors allow the grant of a certain benefit to one WD while the other
auditor disallows same benefit in other WD/s).
LGU led water Utilities:

The performance of LGU led water utilities that will remain to be LGU managed shall be
assessed and a capacity development program to rehabilitate these utilities will be developed
and implemented before any investments will be made under the PWSSIIP. The capacity
building program will include structural changes if needed, that is collaboration/partnership
with the private sector under PSP/PPP arrangement. Those that will not be attractive to private
water investors shall be encouraged to partner with CBOs water utility organizations as
discussed in the preceding section.
As much as possible, the operational and management procedures of LGU led water utilities
will be harmonized with that of water districts. The same financial management and
commercial systems (billing and collection), planning and design systems, utility operations
and maintenance of WDs will be adopted for LGU led water utilities, provided of course that
said systems are still effective and responsive.
4. In the long-term, regional training centers or centers of excellence will be

established that will cater to the continuing capacity development of water
utilities.
Meanwhile, partnerships with training service providers such as the Maynilad Water Academy
and other providers shall be encouraged. It shall be the objective to have a harmonized system
for operation and maintenance, commercial and financial operations and project development
and management and others for water districts and LGU led water utilities. Modules will be
developed covering those different subject matters and later on will be offered as a 6-month
or 1-year course in the Regional Training Courses. WD district employees will be required to
undertake these different levels of staff development to ensure their continuing development.
5. For sanitation, following are suggested strategies and specific capacity

building interventions.
Train and orient local officials on sanitation and paths of contamination because of the current
dearth of information. This include information on the current innovations in locating
treatment and disposal facilities for sludge, sewage, and septage. There are few examples on
this in Metro Manila.
Government institutions involved in the bureaucracy of implementing infrastructure projects

should undergo technical training to better understand how projects are developed, salient
features that should be considered in the design and procurement, and the technical
requirements to operate and maintain these infrastructure and facilities. This includes the
offices of Commission on Audit, the Government Procurement Policy Board, the Philippine
Statistics Office, the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel, the PPP Center, the Office
of the Ombudsman, etc.
Page 103 of 224

Technical arm of DPWH, including housing agencies should embark on intensive training on
sanitation and should be tasked to develop actions in mainstreaming sanitation in their work
programs. These agencies include HUDCC and its covered housing agencies, Land Registration
Authority, etc. A separate intensive course can be provided to the legislative and judiciary
branches of government.
Streamline the Department of Health’s program and the unit responsible for implementing
sanitation to be focused, well-targeted, and streamlines. It should be target-driven primarily
looking at PDP and SDG targets.

Enabling Access to Funding and Financing
The issue of financing and funding of water supply and sanitation projects is not confined to
the basic lack of available financing. Water supply and sanitation has not been a priority of
the government as can be noted from the low investments in the sector in the past 20 years.
1. Insufficient investments in the water supply and sanitation sector that are
due mainly to the following reasons:
Lack of available financing mainly for smaller and nascent water districts. Smaller and less
financially capable WDs are not able to expand and improve services because of the lack of
financing. WDs, which normally would go to LWUA for financing, have not been able to obtain
the needed financing. LWUA mainly did not have enough funds
There are however smaller but creditworthy Water Districts which under EO 279 are not
encouraged to borrow from LWUA and should instead obtain financing from commercial
sources. This criterion under EO 279 limits the access of smaller WDs to cheaper cost of
financing and as a result these smaller WDs have not accessed financing from GFIs and
commercial banks.
Based on the 2016 LWUA Classification of WDs (covering 461 WDs for the period 2013-2015)
most of 134 Category C WDs evaluated were spread between CW and SCW credit ratings.
45 or 34 percent were given CW status; 81 or 60 percent of total Category C population

garnered SCW rating.
Page 105 of 224

While 29 Category D WDs achieved CW classification, WDs with less than 3,000 active
connections also accounted for 95 percent of WDs rated NCW. Details:

Grand Total 23 52 134 252 461

2. The difficulty of accessing financing encountered by the smaller and less or

non-creditworthy water districts and/or LGU led water utilities.
Some WDs even if there are available funds are not able to access financing more often
because of unavailable financing for feasibility studies and other project preparatory
documents required by financiers.
Commercial financing offered by GFIs:
 DBP’s Water for Every Resident (WATER) Program – umbrella program for the
financing of water supply projects; provision for PhP 25 B funding until program end
in 2025; eligible borrowers include WDs, LGUs privates and other WSPs
 LBP’s H2OPE Water Program for Everyone – provides extensive coverage of eligible
projects implemented by WDs, LGU-operated and managed water utilities, private
operators, corporations, communities-managed cooperatives, RWSA, BWSA etc.;
accessible even to PCW for minimum 6% fixed rate for 3 years
 BLGF reports as of December 2016 reveal LGU indebtedness from GFIs amount to PhP
150,400 Millions while PFI have also approved a total of PhP 23,033 Millions to finance
various priority projects.
 COA 2015 Annual Financial Report for LGU (Vol I, Part V) on List of Loans/Credit Lines
Availed by LGUs show a total of PhP 4.2 B availments for water supply and other
related projects
For bigger and more financially viable water districts, financing is not a serious concern. With
EO 279, s. 2004, with more competitive rates than LWUA
Page 106 of 224

During the initial years of EO 279, the main difficulty faced by those creditworthy water
districts is obtaining a waiver from LWUA, which according to many WDs has always been a
long and tedious process. This situation has improved since then and EO 279 has always been
complied.
Under the financial reforms mandated under EO No. 279, s. 2004, and following approval of
the Criteria for Classification of WDs in July 2005, LWUA categorized WDs into Creditworthy
(CW), Semi-Creditworthy (SCW), Pre-Creditworthy (PCW) and Non-Creditworthy (NCW).
Initial classification was completed in 2008, and subject to periodic review every 3 years for
possible reclassification. Timeline of other related activities:
 June 2012 – Approval of Implementing Policies and Guidelines on WD Loan Program

Under the LWUA-Bank Memorandum Agreement for Financing, of which shall govern
WD loans availments from GFIs/PFIs (BOT Res. 95-2012).
 September 2012 - LWUA enhanced procedures in issuing clearance for WDs to contract
loans and other credit accommodations with full approving authority delegated to the
Administrator (BOT Res. No. By end-2015 a total of 30 WDs requests for Clearance
were approved, with commercial loans amounting to almost PhP 7 B.
 April 2017 – Approval of Grant financing for Non-operational and NCW WDs, among
others, listed in GAA 2017; includes Level 3 water supply systems and FS for sanitation
projects
 July 2017 - LWUA reduced interest rates from 8.2 percent to 0-4 percent on new loans
(BOT Res. 57-2017);
 August 2017 – Approval of Amended policies on Debt Relief and delinquent WD
accounts (BOT Res. Nos. 69-71, 2017)
 September 2017 – Approval of IRR; applicable interest rate dependent on type of
financial assistance and WD Category. Financing terms and conditions favor Category
C and D WDs for water supply development, watershed management, sanitation
programs and other efficiency improvement projects (BOT Res. 92-2017).
The sustainability of investments made through LGU led water utilities. These utilities
have been extended assistance mainly by DILG through its various programs such as
Salintubig and Assistance to Municipalities. They also obtain financing from GFIs, the MDFO
and other govt. sources. While there is a lot of funds that have been made available to them,
it is however difficult to establish whether the funds invested have translated into increase in
service connections or increase in served population. To date, there is still very little and
incomplete information on the served population by LGU led water utilities. No comprehensive
post evaluation studies on the Salintubig and BUB program are available except the two (2)
studies such as:
1. Increase investments in the sector
The most critical reform program that will help address the targeted access and improvements
in the sector is to guarantee first, making available the required funding and financing. A
program that will enable the national government to allocate the required funding possibly
through an Executive Order is desired. Thereafter, legislation to ensure continued funding for
the sector should be passed, such that there will be automatic allocation and appropriation of
a specific budget annually for water supply and sanitation.
Page 107 of 224

2. Ensuring access to financing
Funding and financing should be available to everyone in the sector especially those most
needing assistance. At the same time, accessing funding and financing should be enabled
with less difficulty and delay. Application and processing procedures should be simplified and
requirements should be limited to the minimum that will allow for adequate assessment and
approval. Some reforms that may be looked into follow:
 Review and improve LWUA financing policies, systems and procedures.
As LWUA’s role expands to extending grants and being a conduit of developmental loans,
certain reforms are necessary to enable LWUA to work more efficiently and effectively. LWUA
may need to adopt expanded loan system and procedures and adopt policies directed to
monitoring WSPs other than WDs that it will handle. LWUA as a specialized lending institution
has to balance its institutional development and financing roles. While looking after the
development of the water districts, it has to stay financially sound to be able to provide
continuing financial assistance to the WDs.
 Review of Classification Criteria under EO 279, s. 2004 –
1) Financial and Operational parameters did not include service coverage, 2) requires
sustained rating for 3 years; 3) weighted point ratings affected when loans for improvement
projects are accessed
 Develop and implement a program to train and assist WSPs and LGUs in accessing
financing.
The grant funds made available for feasibility studies and project preparation activities could
finance this training.
 Develop and adopt policies to adopt viability gap funding by GFIs.
Better financial capability for WSPs and LGUs may be expected with the significant amount of
grant funds that will be made available. GFIs may adopt viability gap funding ensuring more
access to WSPs and LGUs. It is also expected that operations will be more affordable to
concessionaires and more sustainable for operators.
 Expand the funding/ and coverage of NSSMP.
Improve program focus and targeting to achieve better funding match and utilization.
Mainstream national sanitation subsidy as envisioned in the CWA and NSSMP and realign with
the UFF.
Fast-track the review and finalization of the Operational Guidelines and Project
Implementation Plan for NSSMP, which should include the review of the application process,
the drawdown of funds, establishing legal basis at the local level, disbursements and
liquidation of grant funds, involvement of private sector, the transition to UFF, after-
construction support from national government, M&E, etc.
NSSMP grant financing should be expanded and should provide sanitation financing support
to all LGUs not just for HUCs, cities, and first-class municipalities. Currently, NSSMP grant
financing is administered by DPWH. The NSSMP grant financing for 2nd-class to 6th-class
Page 108 of 224

municipalities can be administered by DOH given the relatively smaller scale projects and
oftentimes the need for community-driven program implementation.
 Review coverage of WQMA fund.
3. Ensuring that the investments made will be sustainable.
Investments shall include assistance in feasibility studies and other project preparatory
activities and capacity development that will ensure WSPs will be able to implement the
projects successfully. Capacity development is also part of investments to ensure systems will
be operated efficiently and continuously.
4.3.7.3 Proposed Reforms
The proposed reforms shall include the following:
1. Enable Level 3 project funds to be coursed through LWUA;

2. Propose and implement increased capitalization of LWUA.
3. Explore other fund/financing sources.

Managing Data and Information
4.3.8.1 Current Context and Issues
Amongst the challenges of the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector of the Philippines is having
the appropriate and adequate data and information for sound decision-making. This has been
captured in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 that presented not only the absence
of an apex body but the absence of that function that would oversee overall planning,
programming, and policy formulation that is based on sound data. To wit:
“Despite the abundance of the resource and programs and projects, gaps in water services
remain. Part of the problem can be traced to the fragmented governance structure of the
sector. There is no apex body that would oversee overall planning, programming, and policy
formulation based on sound data. This resulted in uncoordinated initiatives leading to
inefficient provision of services.” PDP 2017-2022
Issues pertaining to the availability, reliability, consistency, and use of WSS sector data is
evident and clear. Besides the challenges experienced by the team pertaining to availability
and access to available data, this was verbalized and reiterated during each regional
consultation meetings as well as meetings with concerns line agencies, stakeholders, and WSS
service providers. Amongst the issues and concerns on WSS sector that were collected include
the whole spectrum of data collection, management, and use. These are summarized as
follows:
 No data
 Limited data collection
 If there is data  uncertainty on the reliability of data
 If there is data  limited access to data
 If there is data  poor analysis of data
 If there is data  poor presentation of data
 If there is data  data/information is not used or is used in a limited extent
 No or limited support for data/information management
These issues and challenges on data include, but not limited to:
 WSS related data collected by PSA against the WSS performance indicators,
 Unavailability of current/up-to-date water resources data,
 Incomplete NWRB's Listahang Tubig data,
 Availability and inaccessibility of WD data from LWUA,
 Very limited data on water quality,
 Very limited sanitation-related data,
 Appropriateness of usage of available WSS data.
The Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap 2nd Edition (2010) also highlighted issues on
water supply sector, which includes:
 General lack of sector information and continuous updating of existing information

base, and
 Lack of reliable data and the absence of a systematic and regular monitoring of sector
activities in the municipalities by the local government units.
 In the end, these concerns further complicate or causes further difficulties in planning,
programming, and policy formulation for the water supply and sanitation sector.
Page 110 of 224

Included in the need for WSS data and information is towards improving WSS service delivery
through research and development. As such, science, technology, and innovation need to be
optimized to find new and better solutions and options towards addressing the WSS sector
gap on supply against demand as well as on need against affordability. Related key issues
raised by the stakeholders during the regional consultations include:
 There is lack of appropriate (i.e., cost-effective) technologies;

 There is lack of access (i.e., restrictive) to potential technologies;
 If there are new technologies, technologies do not conform with current capacities;
 Proposed technologies are expensive; and
 There is a failure to transfer or adopt new technologies.
4.3.8.2 Desired Outcomes and Indicators
Towards addressing the current concerns pertaining WSS sector data and information, the
desired outcomes, therefore, is having a database and information system that is available
and readily accessible to various WSS sector data
clients. WSS data clients are those who undertake WSS Desire Outcomes
sector planning, programming, and policy formulation, The Philippines having a
water supply and/or sanitation service providers, WSS comprehensive, harmonized,
sector partners, and ultimately the LGUs who are integrated, up-to-date and reliable
responsible to ensuring basic services to its water supply and sanitation
constituents. database.
A sustainable Philippines WSS

Information System – managed by
the Apex Body where data is
regularly and timely
entered/uploaded by respective
data custodians (i.e., NWRB, PSA,
LWUA, WSP, SSP, DILG, DOH,
etc).
Data from WSS Information

System is readily available and
regularly used by policy-makers,
line agencies, LGUs, and WSS
partners, and WSS service
providers, and for R&D.
Establishing a WSS sector database, however, requires not just information technology.
Besides the digital container of the WSS sector data, the WSS sector data needs to be first
harmonized across WSS sector clients. The data to be collected and stored in the WSS sector
database needs to be consistent such that it can be used appropriately and analyzed properly.
The WSS sector data is as fragmented as the WSS sector itself. For the WSS sector database
to be sustainable, there must be a continuous need and a guaranteed use of existing data
while the WSS sector database (i.e., content, coverage) is gradually improved and expanded.
Thus, the WSS sector database needs to be regularly and completely fed by WSS sector data
custodians (i.e., primary source of WSS data) and such that it can be regularly and consistently
used by WSS sector data clients and users. With the continuous cycle of provision and use of
data, the WSS sector data will always be up-to-date and reliable. Further, improvement and
expansion of WSS sector data will become natural.
Page 111 of 224

Second is the need to determine who shall administer and manage the WSS sector database.
With the establishment of the Apex Body underway, it is logical that the WSS sector database
shall be administer and managed by a unit within the Apex Body. An interim solution is to
have NEDA administer and managed it while the Apex Body is not yet established.
Indicative performance indicators for the desired outcomes are as follows:
 WSS performance indicators being monitored by the Philippines are harmonized with
SDG 2018 WSS indicators. – This is to properly align the indicators being monitored
by the country with that of internationally accepted and defined indicator.
 New SDG WSS indicators are covered by PWSS database within 6 months. – This is to
provide ample time for the country to cope with the introduction of new indicators and
ensuring that these are included in the PWSS database.
 100% of Philippine WSS harmonized data are entered into the PWSS database within
a month upon its availability. – This ensures that the WSSS database are up-to-date.
 100% of data used on reporting WSS performance is taken from PWSS database. –
This ensures that the WSSS database is being used.
 100% of data used in macro-level WSSS research and development is generated from
Philippine water supply and sanitation database

Driving Research and Development
4.3.9.1 Significance of the Reform
With the limitations of accessing water resources as well as limited access to financing WSS
infrastructure, the need to drive research and development (R&D) towards supporting the
WSS sector is apparent. R&D opens a new way of finding solutions with science, technology,
and innovation.
4.3.9.2 Current Context
The Philippine’s geographical landscape and layout makes provision of WSS services to the
whole population a challenge. As such, science, technology, and innovation need to be
optimized to find new and better solutions and options towards addressing the WSS sector
gap on supply against demand as well as on need against affordability.
Amongst the key issues raised by the stakeholders during the regional consultations are:
 There is lack of appropriate (i.e., cost-effective) technologies;

 There is lack of access (i.e., restrictive) to potential technologies;
 If there are new technologies, technologies do not conform with current capacities;
 Proposed technologies are expensive; and
 There is a failure to transfer or adopt new technologies.
8.
Furthermore, there is a need to foster designing and constructing climate-resilient structures
as well as the need to invest on structures that takes advantage and stores of excessive water.
4.3.9.3 Desired Outcomes and Indicators
Towards addressing the WSS sector concerns through research and development, amongst
the desired outcomes are:
 Optimized use of water and improved water supply and sanitation services delivery
thru use/adoption of innovative technologies and cost-effective solutions
 Having not just climate-resilient structures but structures that exploits excess water
brought about by climate change thru adoption of advance infrastructure design and
construction methodology solutions climate change
 Use of comprehensive, harmonized, and integrated Philippine water supply and
sanitation database in driving WSSS macro-level research and development
Achievement of desired outcomes may be determined through the following indicators:
 Quality and affordability of water supply services are sustained while water-per-user
ratio is maintained or reduced amidst increase in population.
 Quality and affordability of improved sanitation services is maintained amidst increase
in population.
 Volume of excess water stored and used
 100% of newly constructed water supply and sanitation infrastructure are climate-
resilient
 100% of existing water supply and sanitation infrastructure have implemented
measures towards being climate-resilient

5.1 The Required Infrastructure to Meet the Targets for 2022

The following table summarizes the infrastructure requirements to meet the targeted access
of 95% and 97% for water supply and sanitation, respectively, in 2022 and universal targets
in 2030. The required infrastructure was derived based on the additional households (HH) to
be served and interventions that could either be in the form of rehabilitated and improved
assets and/or new assets to be constructed.

The investments needed to meet the targets in 2022 and 2030 for both water supply and
sanitation amount to PhP 1,062.1 Billion. This cost is broken down into the physical
investments of PhP 727.6 Billion from 2019 – 2022 and PhP 334.5 Billion through 2030 (at
constant 2017 prices) and the PhP 1,127 Million cost of the reform program including project
implementation and management costs.

Physical Investments
5.2.1.1 Unit Development Costs
To establish the investment requirements, updated and regionalized unit development costs
were derived for physical and non-physical investments for the WSS sector. Cost derivation
was done per WSS service level on a per household/per capita basis, as targeting is anchored
on the increase of the total number of households that will have access to safe and sustainable
water supply and sanitation services in the future.
Unit development costs were based on similar components of both ongoing and recently
completed WSS project implement, engineered, or subjected to available feasibility studies.
Project costs were judiciously validated with available development plans and/or engineering
drawings and/or technical reports and/or operational data. Cost components in terms of labor,
construction materials, equipment usage, construction methodologies were also taken into
account. Indirect costs, as a function of the total direct costs, were also estimated.
To properly consider dates of implementation and/or project preparation, local and foreign
cost elements were also identified. This is to properly infuse escalation and foreign exchange
costs in cost items with importation requirements, or those involving foreign technologies.

Covered by existing MWSS Concession

Page 120 of 224

Furthermore, various agencies and organizations (DILG, DPWH, DOH, private service
providers) were consulted to gather insights and industry expertise based on current and
previous practices and experience in costing out WSS projects.
Derived costs are baseline numbers for NCR, which are then applied with regional factors to
determine specific regional unit development costs. As each region has its own distinct
geographical, economical, and accessibility characteristics, labor, material, and equipment
costs are bound to be different to others. Given that premise, regional factors are multiplied
to the NCR base costs to appropriate cost components and to realistically estimate investment
requirements of proposed water supply and sanitation projects in each respective locales.
Tables 5-3 and 5-4 show the derived unit development costs per region per WSS service level.
Derived direct costs are slightly higher than current industry rates but would be better to
employ for conservative purposes.

Non-Physical Investments
The non-physical investments which comprises the cost of implementing the proposed
programs under the 8 Key Reform Areas and the cost of managing the PWSSMP amount to
Php 1,127 Millions until 2030. This amount does not include the investments related to MWSS
as there is an existing concession until 2037.
The amount covers both the a) implementation cost required to carry out programs and
activities under the 8 Key Reform Areas; and b) project management cost of the Operational
Plan.
The former requires around PhP 323 Million which will be allotted to activities to be undertaken
by much concerned agencies in the water and sanitation sector that would need to be active.
This would include the Department of Water, should it become established, and/or NEDA,
LWUA, DILG, NWRB, DOH, DBM, DOF, NIA, NPC, DOE, among others. Consultants will also
have to be employed to assist these agencies in various aspects of the programs
implementation – research, studies, consultative and development work, technical,
environment, economics and finance, and legal.
The Project Management Cost of the Operational Plan would require another PhP 335 Million
spread over the four-year period and would entail the establishment of a Project Management
Office (PMO) which will be under an inter-agency umbrella (if the Department Water is still
not founded) with NEDA-SWCR, LWUA, DILG, NWRB, DOH at the forefront.
The PMO is to be adequately staffed to evaluate proposed projects, assist in project

preparation, organization (and/or strengthening) of the implementing units for specific sub-
projects (WDs, LGUs, CBOs), and provide assistance in technical and environmental concerns
(water sources, review of proposals, environmental concerns, climate change adaptation
works, economic and financial evaluation, contract reviews, etc.).
Beyond 2022, a total of PhP 469 Million will be allotted to the PMO for project implementation
activities from 2023-2030. This amount will be distributed over a period of seven (7) years.
Table 5-9 shows the total investment requirement per key reform area. Appendix K, on the

5.3 Overall Rationale and Framework for Implementation

The total estimated investments of PhP 727.6 Billion from 2019 to 2022 will be implemented
based on the following strategic framework of the PWSSMP:
a. Sustainability of Investments. The Plan provides for PhP 1,739 Million for Capacity
Development to enable utilities sustainably operate and maintain water and sanitation
systems will be provided to capable water utilities to manage the construction and later
on operate the constructed system.
b. Integrated provision of water supply and sanitation services. It is assumed that
the investment in water supply shall have a corresponding investment in sanitation; both
investments shall be packaged as one program or project for a WSP or an LGU. This is
to ensure that sanitation activities will move in the same direction and phase as that of
water supply so that neither part of the sector is left behind.
c. Priority in Implementation. Allocation is prioritized for provinces with the highest
poverty incidence per Official Poverty Statistics of the PSA. (Criteria discussed on
Financing Section).
d. Financing of Investments. Based on UFF – criteria to include financial capacity, need
and impact. (See separate discussion on Financing.)
Service Coverage Targets by WSPs
The targeted coverage in water supply and sanitation and improvements in service delivery is
envisaged to be covered and provided by the different WSPs assuming that the projected
access will be allocated as follows:

5.3.1.1 Increased Coverage of Water Districts
Based on analysis and consistent with the updated LWUA Roadmap , a significant part of the
targeted increase in access will be achieved faster if the investments will be made in the water
districts. Based on the above table, with 869 operational Water Districts by 2022, at least 60%
of total LGUs will be served. The increase in the number of WDs from 520 will be realized
through the following:
1. Activation of 229 non-operational Water Districts as of 2015;

2. Activation of 117 inactive Water Districts.
Water Districts’ Profile
Under the Revised Local Water District Manual on Categorization, Re-Categorization and Other
Related Matters (LWD-MaCRO) WDs are categorized into A, B, C, or D based on active service
connections, assets, financial position and staff productivity.
Pursuant to the financial reforms of EO No. 279, s. 2004, WDs are also categorized into non-
creditworthy, pre-creditworthy, semi-creditworthy and creditworthy to determine proper
allocation of financing.
LWD -MaCRO Category Credit Classification
WD Classification by Category
The 2016 Credit Classification (www.lwua.gov.ph), which reviewed 461 WDs, showed
creditworthiness was highest among Category B WDs at 54 percent of sample.
Category A WDs were mostly classified Creditworthy and Semi-Creditworthy. Of 113 given
Creditworthy rating, 45 or 40 percent are Category C WDs. Categories C and D WDs also
account for most of Semi-Creditworthy.

5.4 Financing Plan

Water
The GoP will need PhP 272.914 B from 2019 to 2022 and PhP 233.98 B by 2030 to implement
the National Master Plan and its investment program for water. Financing of the physical
investments will be based on the approved Unified Financing Framework and its implementing
guidelines.
Consistent with the recommendations in the UFF (based on aide memoire of the NEDA Board
Committee on Infrastructure discussing Operationalization of the UFF for Water Supply and
Sanitation, August 24, 2017) to –
1. Provide public financial assistance in the form of subsidies which close the ‘viability
gap’, keeping tariffs affordable while leveraging commercial finance;
2. Maximize the amount of commercial finance that can be provided by leveling the
playing field and addressing barriers to risk management and long-term lending; and
3. Target subsidies particularly toward serving the poor, and providing public goods such
as improved sanitation.
4. The financing plan was based on: a) impact and urgency, b) service coverage, and c)
areas at high vulnerability to climate and weather related risks, conditions that are
mutually reinforced in provinces that have the highest poverty incidence.
Accordingly, grants were prioritized for Top 20* provinces (8 provinces marked * had the
highest proportion of poor families with income below the poverty threshold in both the 2012
and 2015 poverty statistics) with the highest poverty incidence among families, namely:

*(Expanding to the next 10 poorest provinces did not alter the financing plan
Level 3 financing was based on income classification of the province; variable grant allocation
for 1st and 2nd class, 60 percent for 3rd class and 80 percent for 4th and 5th income class
provinces, regardless of criteria under which it initially qualified for grant.
Allocation of grant is next prioritized to disaster-prone areas owing to degree of devastation

of recent calamities and frequency by which these same provinces are subjected to climate
and weather-related risks. However, decreasing tier inverse to the income classification was
considered since 13 or 65 percent of Top 20 Provinces (Mapping Philippine Vulnerability to
Environmental Disasters) at high vulnerability to combined climate and weather-related risks
are classified 1st Income Class.

Sanitation
Based on the results of the PWSSMP consultation process, issues on sanitation performance
include 1) expanding NSSMP to provide financial subsidy for feasibility study and, 2) extend
grant subsidies on septage and sewerage to lower-income class municipalities and water
districts. Accordingly, the required investments to reach the sanitation targets considered the
following:
1. Providing grants to finance feasibility studies and other project preparation activities;
2. Financing by grant of half of all sanitation projects of HUCs, all cities and first-class
municipalities to expand NSSMP
3. Financing of 70% to 100% of forecast investments to non-HUCs/Provinces to
encourage and enable municipalities to undertake the projects with reduced burden on
IRA or the need to secure loans for these projects.
Using NSSMP parameters and data, average costs per capita by level of sanitation were
derived.

Septage (PhP per HH) 1,650 1,710 1,743 1,806
Considering the tedious process to access grant subsidies under the NSSMP didn’t motivate
even the more financially capable HUCs to undertake a sanitation project, the financing plan
expands grant-loan mix to other LGUs.
To achieve sanitation targets across Regions/Provinces and stimulate investments, 100

percent grant subsidy is adopted for sewerage projects; while investments for septage
management will receive 80 percent grant. Financing for HUCs remain at 50-50 grant/private
mix for all levels of sanitation projects.

The program to implement the PWSSIP is assumed to commence in 2019 with the conduct of
feasibility studies/DED. With the target completion of investments by 2022, construction is
programmed between the 2d to 4th year while capacity development of WSPs will be
undertaken by the 3rd-4th year. Distribution of funds according to financier is based on the
timing of disbursement for feasibility/detailed engineering design (FS/DED), physical works
and capacity development.

6 Operationalizing the Master

Plan
The implementation of the PWSSMP shall be implemented in three phases from 2019 to 2030.
The bulk of the implementation activities will be carried out between 2020 and 2023 and this
shall be done through a special program called the Philippines Water Supply and Sanitation
Improvement Investment Program (PWSSIIP). It is deemed a practical interim measure while
waiting for the proposed Department of Water to be approved and established. By avoiding
legislative changes, this approach allows for more rapid implementation. After 2023 and
assuming that most of the key reforms have been undertaken, the major agencies in the
sector will continue to undertake the appropriate activities for the sector’s sustained growth
and improvement.
Hereunder is the diagram showing the phasing of activities between 2019 to 2030:
2019 2020 – 2023 2024 - 2030

6.1 Pre-Investment Program Implementation

Prior to the implementation of the PWSSIIP, there are other activities that are necessary to
be undertaken and which are not covered under the formulation of the MP Study. These are
pre-investment program activities that will proposed to be implemented over a 12 -month
period as soon as the PWSSMP is finalized and approved.
The pre-implementation activities will include the following:
a. Approval and adoption of the Philippines Water Supply and Sanitation

Master Plan and Investment Program. As outlined above, a policy document and
terms of reference that will embody the features of the PWSSMP, the investment
program and accompanying institutional reforms shall be submitted by the NEDA
Infrastructure Staff to the NEDA Board for consideration and approval. Following this,
a Policy Steering Committee led by the NEDA will be created to carry out the
implementation of the Program. The Policy Steering Committee will direct the
implementation of the PWSSMP based on the Terms of Reference. At this stage, the
budget sources and implementation guidelines of the Program will also be prepared.
As soon as the PWSSMP Policy Document is approved (before end of 2018), the
following will be undertaken.
b. Scoping, Programming and Financial Planning The scope of the activities to be
conducted under the PWSSIIP will be confirmed with the GoP, the budget that is
available for the infrastructure component program and the prioritization of the reform
activities. An initial scope for the PMO is attached including an estimate of the budget
in the PWSSMP.
c. PWSSMP and Operational Plan roll-out. The roll out will be undertaken through
regional conferences in the 3 main islands – Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, distribution
of the AVP and the printed copies of the PWSSMP. During the roll out, proposals for
funding/financing of investment projects will be solicited from LGUs and the coverage,
scope and objectives of the PWSSMP will be explained.
d. Conduct of Project preparation activities for the Priority Investment
Program (PIP). A priority investment program targeted to be implemented
(constructed) in 2020 shall be part of the pre-implementation program. Project
preparation activities such as project feasibility studies, detailed engineering and
design, and procurement shall be carried out in 2019. It is envisioned that by the time
a Project Implementation and Management Office is established, the projects under
the PIP are ready for implementation. It should be noted that proposals for 2019
Budget Year have already been projects were not included in the budget will be
prioritized for inclusion in the following year. The long list of Investment Projects for
consideration in the PIP 2020 is attached as Appendix L.
6.2 Implementation of the Priority Investment Program

The Priority Investment Program shall consist of the computed investments of Php 308 Billion
that will be implemented in 2019 and 2020. Project preparation activities such as feasibility
studies, detailed engineering and design and others will also be procured and/conducted
under the pre-investment program.
a. Preparation of the Terms of Reference and Procurement of the Project

Implementation Contractor (Month 3 to Month 9) Based on the confirmed scope
and budget for the program, detailed Terms of Reference will be prepared to undertake
Page 135 of 224

the various components of the program and the procurement of the Project
Implementation and Management Contractor.
b. Preparation of key organizations for their roles in the PWSSMP: (Month 2 to
7) There shall be a clear orientation of roles in the MP. LWUA will undergo a
reorganization and strengthening program that will develop its capacities to meet the
increased responsibilities and work load. Parallel to this is the sourcing of funds
to augment the LWUA budget for the period 2020 to 2022 to enable it to
meet the investment requirements until 2022 and meet its increased
functions and responsibilities. The DOH will review its new role as lead agency for
sanitation and identify policies that need to be formulated through the IACEH. It will
review the proposed budget that will come under the DOH for support for NSSMP for
small municipalities, review national and local sanitation campaigns through the
Bureau of Health Promotions, and review capacity building requirements with DILG.
The DILG will be reoriented on its new role as provider of capacity building to national
agencies and LGUs with focus on Level 1 and 2 systems, and help lead the formation
and capacity development of local WATSAN Council in the LGUs.
c. Pilot implementation and modelling of integrated approach to provision of
water supply and sanitation with the LGU as central to the implementation.
This will include translating the master plan into provincial and municipal plans, setting
up and capacitating the local WATSAN Council. Representative samples to include the
3 provinces that were included in the earlier master planning (Masbate, Agusan del
Sur and Iloilo).
6.3 Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement

Investment Program (2020-2023)
The PWWSIIP shall is a 4-year program that will comprise of the physical investments (except
those included in the pre-implementation phase) and non-physical investments laid out in the
8 key Reform Areas of the PWSSMP. It shall be implemented as a special Program under the
National Economic Development Authority. The implementation of the PWSSIIP shall be
covered by an Executive Order and will be undertaken by a special Project Management Office
(PMO) under the NEDA as Executing Agency and supported by LWUA and DILG as key
implementing agencies.
The 2 major activities under the PWSSIIP shall include the following:
a. Implementation of the Physical Investment Program. The infrastructure

component of the Investment Program shall be implemented between the period 2020
until 2023 by the NEDA PMO. The PMO will oversee and coordinate mainly the different
projects and activities while the bulk of the program will be undertaken as individual
programs/projects. As discussed under Section 5, implementation arrangements shall
be under 2 major modes:
i. Investments thru Water Districts. The investments thru WDs will be

programmed and planned under the PWSSIIP and project preparation activities
such as feasibility studies, detailed engineering design and construction supervision
will be procured by the PMO with assistance from LWUA. The engagement of
contractors will be undertaken by the WDs except in cases when the WDs do not
have the capacity to undertake the implementation themselves. LWUA will assist
these WDs in the recruitment of contractors. LWUA will monitor construction
activities and report status to the PWSSIIP PMO. (More detailed TOR will be
prepared under Phase 1).
Page 136 of 224

ii. Investments thru LGU led water utilities under Design-Build-Operate

and Transfer. When there is an existing LGU led water utility or no operating
water utility, the implementation of the investment program will be made through
the said utility. However, given the inherent lack of capacity of LGU led water
utilities and its poor and inappropriate set-up (inability to adjust tariff), LGUs are
not in position to take on by themselves such a huge task of increasing and
improving access to water supply and sanitation in a short period of time.
Investments will be made through a short-term PPP mode of designing, building,
setting up the system including the establishment of a water district and turning-
over the system as soon as construction is completed and all O & M, financial
management, general management and commercial systems are in place.
Depending on the size of the utility and amount of investments required, the

iii. Implementation of the 8 Key Reform Agenda (Non-Physical

Investments). The proposed reforms under each of the 8 areas will be
implemented under the PWSSIIP. The program which will cost an estimated Php
99 Billion will be implemented starting 2019 completed. Most of the
recommendations are targeted to be undertaken until the end of the PWSSIIP. The
implementing agencies that will work with the NEDA to implement the program
include the LWUA, DILG, NWRB, DPWH, DOH and DBM. Other agencies may likely
be involved particularly when the proposed Department of Water becomes
operational.
6.4 Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation

All Philippine government agencies deal with results at various levels (e.g., outputs, outcomes,
impacts) and at various stages (e.g., planning, programming, budgeting, implementation,
monitoring, and evaluation). To help agencies manage results effectively, a results-oriented
mindset that shifts one’s orientation from mere implementation of programs, projects and
activities (PPAs) to the desired outcomes and impact at various levels of the government
agency’s results hierarchy is needed.
Broadly defined, a results-based monitoring and evaluation (RBM&E) framework is a tool that
helps achieve and, correspondingly, measure the extent of achievement of performance
objectives at the societal level down to specific outputs.
In the Philippine public-sector context, the results-based outcome framework is an institutional

management tool that illustrates how the results as described in the Philippine Development
Plan will link to a sector and organizational outcomes. Specifically, it describes how the
government’s (i.e., NEDA) focus on managing for development results (e.g. subsector/sector
outcomes and societal goal at both the planning and monitoring and evaluation stages), inform
and guide the outcomes at the strategic programming, budgeting, and implementation stages.
Guided by and patterned after the Philippine government’s prescribed results framework, the
sector’s results framework is framed as follows:
Societal Outcome
The societal outcome of “inclusive growth, high-trust and resilient society, and globally-
competitive knowledge economy by 2022” is explicitly reflected in the Philippine Development
Plan for 2017 to 2022 which serves to guide all national government agencies in setting their
Page 138 of 224

goals, strategies and programs. The PDP 2017-2022 is the first medium-term plan anchored
on Ambisyon Natin 2040 following EO 5, s. 2016. The current Philippine Development Plan
aims to lay a stronger foundation for inclusive growth, a high-trust society, and a globally-
competitive economy toward realizing the vision by 2040, i.e.:
“The Philippines by 2040: matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay. The country is a

prosperous middle-class society where no one is poor. People live long and healthy lives
and are smart and innovative. The Philippines is a high-trust society where families thrive
in vibrant, culturally diverse, and resilient communities.” (AmBisyon Natin 2040)
Under PDP 2017-22, the target is to reduce poverty incidence from 21.6 percent in 2015 to
14.0 percent by 2022. Moreover, innovation will be encouraged as the country sets its eyes
on graduating to a knowledge economy in order to accelerate growth in the future.
Infrastructure Sector Outcomes
Infrastructure, as emphasized in PDP 2017-2022, “undergirds the country’s socio-economic

development.” To fulfill this role and to facilitate the achievement of the aforementioned
societal impact, the infrastructure sector aims for more and better selection of strategically
distributed (both sectorally and spatially) infrastructure investments. To ensure the integrated
response of the sector to the call of improved performance, asset preservation (i.e.,
sustainability, safety and resilience) as well as intensified infrastructure-related research and
development (R&D) shall also be pursued.
The sector for the period covering 2017-2022, will be characterized by accelerated
infrastructure development and intensified public spending. Concretely, the infrastructure
sector is increasing its public spending as a percentage of GDP from a baseline figure of 5.1
in 2016 to 7.4 in 2022. For the water resources sub-sector, in particular, the end-of-plan
(2022) performance targets are: 95.16% for the indicator “percentage of households (HH)
with access to safe water supply” and 97.46% for the indicator “percentage of households
(HH) with access to basic sanitation.”
These targets are consistent with the country’s commitment to pursue the sustainable
development goals (SDGs) of achieving universal and equitable to safe and affordable drinking
water (SDG 6.1) and universal access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene (SDG
6.2) by 2030.
Alongside its efforts to accelerate infrastructure development, the Philippine government will
also address persistent issues and challenges that hamper effective and efficient
implementation of infrastructure projects by: (1) increasing spending on public infrastructure,
(2) implementing strategic infrastructure, (3) ensuring asset preservation and (4) intensifying
infrastructure-related research and development.
Key Reform Outcomes and Major Outputs
To ensure that end-of-plan targets, as well as SDG-related targets, would be met, a key
initiative that has been pursued is the formulation of the National Water Supply and Sanitation
Master Plan (NWSSMP). The NWSSMP consists of eight reform areas (RA) which shall drive all
development efforts pertaining to the country’s water supply and sanitation. Each reform area
shall have its own key reform outcomes. To determine progress or achievement of these
outcomes, success indicators have also been identified.
Page 139 of 224

These key reform outcomes, to be realized, should have major outputs. Outcomes are realized
if and only if major outputs are identified and produced.
Monitoring and Evaluation Matrix
The results-based monitoring and evaluation matrix below summarizes the aforementioned
results elements of the NWSSMP by key reform area and supplemented by data on timeframe

Appendix A: Summary Report

of the Regional Consultations
Appendix A: Summary Report of the Regional Consultations
The Philippine Government is highly committed to provide safe, clean water and sanitation
services for all through the formulation of Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Mater Plan
(PWSSMP). Anchoring on the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022, the Clean Water
Act of 2004 and the Sustainable Development Goals 26 , the formulation of PWSSMP will
contribute to the achievement of the global and national goals of ensuring improved access
to water supply and sanitation.
The formulation of the PWSSMP covers various activities such as organization and planning,
sector assessment and regional visioning, strategy and operational plan formulation. The
participation of key sector players and regional stakeholders played a vital role in the conduct
of the nationwide regional workshops. The planning process adheres to the principles of
ownership and participation in line with the sector assessment, regional visioning, and the
formulation of WSS operational plans. These activities have affirmed the bottom-up approach
to planning and recognized the collective roles of all sector players and key stakeholders.
The formulation involves in-depth assessment of the water supply and sanitation situation as
well as formulating sound and fitting strategies, policies, programs and projects, activities for
the water supply and sanitation in the country from national to local levels. The project has
achieved its objective in coming up with the WSS National Master Plan and 16 Regional WSS
Roadmaps.
The16 Regional Planning Workshops and Stakeholders’ Consultations have successfully

mobilized a good number of participants across each region composed of the Provincial
Planning and Development Officers (PPDOs), Provincial Health Officers (PHOs), City/Municipal
Planning Officers (C/MPOs), City/Municipal Health Officers (C/MHOs), representatives from
national and regional line agencies, academe, water service provider (WSPs) and the private
sector in partnership with the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). Thus,
achieving a high level of participation wherein participants had the opportunities to exercise
critical thinking as they shared their experiences, observations, opinions and ideas from the
ground. They also brought with them sets of information and data (quantitative and qualitative)
as they present their respective regional contexts and participated in various activities of each
regional consultation and workshop.
Each regional planning workshop and consultation employed the methodologies that include:
1) lecture/inputs, 2) open forum/discussion, 3) group workshops and 4) outputs presentation
and discussions. These methodologies have facilitated the achievement of the following
desired outputs in each region: 1) WSS Sector Situationer which is an in-depth assessment of
the water supply and sanitation situation; 2) formulated the Regional Sector Vision; 3)
configured the strategies and its key result areas; 4) identified key policies, programs, projects,
activities, time-line, investment requirements and implementation arrangements; 5) identified
priority projects (per program)/ operational plan and 6) identified capacity gaps and gains as
required in addressing the WSS targets and implementing the plan.
Over-all, each workshop conducted has achieved the objectives that include: 1) deeper
understanding of the water and sanitation situation of the region; 2) clearer picture of the
desired state of the water and sanitation sector and success indicators; 3) configured
strategies and their success indicators contributing towards the achievement of the overall
sector vision; 4) identified key programs, projects and activities, time-line, investment
26 Particularly, aligning with SDG No. 6 – “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”
requirements and implementation arrangements; 5) gained knowledge and competencies in

the strategic and business planning process; and 6) assessed capacity gaps and the
intervention needed.
The highlights of activities and topics of each consultation workshop conducted are
encapsulated in the following modules:
Module 1: Where are we now?

 Session 1a: Overview of the PWSSMP Project
 Session 1b: Introduction to the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) Sector

The regional consultation and workshop elicited positive feedback, insights and impressions
from among the participants. Some of the notable ones are highlighted below:
 The workshop is helpful in assessing the real need of our provinces. It was well
appreciated both the process and the outputs. It also considered the valuable inputs
of ground experts, the participants
 There was “positive overloading” wherein participants learned a lot and affirm their
roles in implementing the strategies
 The kind of process we all experienced is very relevant in today’s situation as we

pushed for ownership and participation. We can indeed bring this approach to the
provinces.
 Workshop results and outputs have exceeded expectations.
 Bottom-up planning leads to rippling results. Apart from reinforcing ownership, it also
recognizes the role of all development stakeholders to co-own both the issues and
strategies. When strategies are co-owned the process of implementing programs and
projects in relation to WSS become realistic, doable and achievable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Regional Planning Workshop in CAR for the Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and
Sanitation Master Plan was conducted on March 20-22, 2018 at the Igorot Lodge, Camp John
Hay, Baguio City. The 3-day activity was led by the consultants from EDCOP who were tasked
by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).
In general, the Regional Workshop aims to gather the stakeholders from the five provinces of the
Region and provide an avenue to discuss, interact and share insights on the water supply and
sanitation situation (WSS) in Region 02. Specifically, it aims to: (a) gain deeper understanding of
the water and sanitation situation of the region, (b) provide clear picture of the desired state of
the water and sanitation sector and success indicators, (c) configure strategies and
corresponding success indicators contributing towards the achievement of the overall sector
vision, (d) identify key programs for each strategies, (e) identify key projects and initiatives for
each program, (f) gain knowledge and competencies in the strategic and business planning
process.
A total of 42 participants from various regional line agencies, Local Government Units (LGUs)
and Water Districts (WDs) from the five provinces of the Cagayan Valley Region attended the
said event. These are the following:

1.0 OPENING SESSION
The first session of the PWSSMP Regional Planning Workshop started at 9:00am.
Preliminaries include a short invocation followed by the singing of the National Anthem.
1.1 Opening Remarks

The opening prayer was led by Mr. Aries Dos Campo followed by Ms. Dolores Malintas, both
from NEDA-CAR for the opening remarks. She welcomed the participants in this 3-day
workshop and acknowledged them one by one.
Opening remarks by Regional Director Milagros Rimando. RD Milagros pointed out that this
workshop is critical and of urgent importance. She enlightened us and somehow explained
the Long-term Vision 2040, for water supply and sanitation, which is the basis for the Philippine
Development plan and Regional Development plans. She also mentions that this is a chance,
especially for the provinces, to push their provincial priorities. Also, that CAR is a very unique
region, and is called the watershed cradle of the North Philippines, due to the 13 watershed
in the region.
Below are more highlights RD Milagros discussed.
• Filipinos should have a home, a home with toilets and water; water supply and
sanitation.
• CAR was not able to meet the targets of ‘half’ the percentage, for households
without water supply by 2015.
• Some of the barangays are still defined as waterless.
Ms. Belinda Lucas set the norms / house rules for the whole duration of the workshop in order
to maximize the time together.
1.2 Levelling of Expectations

After the photo opportunity of the group with NEDA Director Malintas and acknowledgement
of participants by group, Mr. Leo asks for volunteers from the provinces and the agencies their
expectations from this workshop.

1.3 Project Brief

Mr. Leo de Castro, Community Participation Specialist, gave a brief introduction about the
Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP) Regional Water Supply and
Sanitation Workshop, the objectives of this course and desired outputs based on these
objectives. He mentioned that this master plan is historical since it is being contributed from
the bottom-up.
He explained briefly the modules that will be tackled in this workshop; the data needed and
the templates will be used is also introduced.
2.0 MODULE 1: WHERE ARE WE NOW
This section summarizes the presentations during the activity:
2.1. Overview of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan
Engr. Elisa Cruz, Finance Analyst, presented the overview on the PWSSMP.
She expounded and explained the presentation so that the participants can fully understand
where the workshop is headed.
Being a unique region, Ms. Lisa mentioned that the rivers in the CAR usually involves the IPs.
2.2 Introduction to the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) Situation
Mr. Leo started the presentation of the Philippine WSS sector. He highlighted that CAR is
not keen on sanitation. A representative from Tabuk City asked to clearly define safe water,
since not all ground waters are safe; and what are the parameters to be called safe water.
Engr. Philip Diokno, Sanitation Engineer, instigated the presentation regarding the Definition
of Terms for WSS. He explained it thoroughly including giving examples so that there will be
no issues regarding the terms.
Mr. Smith Dawaton from Tabuk City asked “What is the level private wells?” Engr. Philip
replied that a deepwell is not a system, just like an individual faucet, which is categorized as
level 1. Mr. Smith then followed-up the question about shared deep wells in which Engr.
Philip replied that it is still level 1. Mr. Eisenhower Bucalen, also from Tabuk City, asked “Are
the parameters based on number of connection to be categorized as level 2? Level 3?”
Raymund Go, MIS / Database Specialist, clarified the answers by stating that Level 2 & 3
are communal systems; a deepwell is not a system, which makes it level 1.
From PPDO Apayao, Ervin Roc, asked the level of spring development that are directly
connected to households. Engr. Philip clarified that it is a level 3, since there is a household
connection, but it should have treatments.
Mr. Leo clarified that there are grey areas in the definition which might be tackled in this
workshop.

was assigned to facilitate the Planning and Development group, Engr. Danna Valdez for
Service Provision and Engr. Elisa Cruz for Regulation.
Below are the initial topics that can be categorized as hindering or facilitating by the
participants.

3.0 MODULE 2: WHERE WE WANT TO BE
3.1 Formulating the Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Vision
The participants were grouped by province (6), HUC (1) and government agency (1). They
were then instructed to visualize their sentiments concerning water and sanitation, and draw
them on a cartolina paper. Then, each group presented each of their drawings.
Mr. Manny, with the help of key persons per province, came up with the regional vision that
is perfect for the Cordillerans.
Regional Vision
“EQUITABLE ACCESS TO SAFE AND ADEQUATE WATER AND
SANITATION FOR THE CORDILLERANS”
3.2 Setting the WSS Targets
Water Supply
Engr. Danna Valdez presented the national WSS targets for water supply. She gave an
introduction on the spreadsheets that will be used as a guide for:
• Population Projection,
• Rural and Urban Classifications,
• Water Supply Statistics, and
• Project Costs.
Sanitation
Engr. Philip Diokno, sanitation engineer, presented the national targets on sanitation. He gave
an introduction on the spreadsheets to be used as guide for:
• Sanitation statistics,
• Costing estimations,
• Land classifications, and
• Others.
Few of the representatives felt that having one septic tank per household is impossible due to
geographic setting and challenges. They suggested that it is best to have individual toilets but
with communal septic tanks.
After the brief presentation about the WSS Development, Concepts and Strategies, Engr.
Danna Valdez and Engr. Philip Diokno introduced the WSS toolkits developed by the
consultants for the setting of the WSS targets. There are two target years which are 2022 for
the Philippine Development Plan and 2030 for the Sustainable Development Goals. Armed
with their population statistics for water supply and sanitation coverage the following tables
show the summary of the outputs of the provinces:

4.4 Building Capacities of Water Service Providers - Sharing

Sharing with some of the participants was led by Mr. Leo and Ms. Jenny Lyn Hernandez,
Project Coordinator. The panelists that were called in front are namely Mr. Johnny Mauting
from DILG, focal person for water; Mr. Nelson Cara from DOH, environmental and
occupational health department; Mr. Jancel Burgos from La Trinidad WatSan regional hub;
and Mr. Fermin Cayabas from Benny Fami-NG Septic Tank Sanitation Services.
The panelists were asked about their scope of work? “Fermin: Cleans septic tanks, not just in
residential areas but also for commercial. Direct constituents of barangays about sanitation”.
“Nelson: Issues environmental and sanitation clearance. Water quality monitoring, evaluation
and provision of water disinfectants.” “Johnny: Sanitation is not included in scope of work.
Monitoring and evaluation of potable water supply. Water and sanitation hub.” “Jancel: Assists
LGUs with the data available from of department.”
Mr. Leo asked Mr. Fermin about the cost of desludging of septic tanks and where does the
waste go. Mr. Fermin answered it is about 2500-3500php per drum with the range of 5-10
drums per household. The sludge is then directed to the city sanitary plant. He added that he
hopes that there will be treatment plants in other provinces because it is the heart of sanitation.
Finally, Mr. Leo asked the panelists for their ‘last words’. Mr. Nel said that there are many
water districts in the region that have not renewed their license to operate or have not complied
with the standards of operation. Mr. Jancel said that their regional hub is willing to assists
water-districts regarding water-systems and in NWRB permits.
4.5 Basic Water Supply Development

Mr. Oscar Jusi gave a brief introduction on the basic information about water and water
development. He discussed about the water cycle, watersheds, and many other topics about
water. He presented population projections for CAR and also the water supply and demand
projections.
Concepts on water supply were also discussed; water demand, potential water sources, water
treatment, sustainable water supply system requirements, planning processes, and
approaches on water supply development were tackled.
Water supply development practices were introduced:
• River Basin Approach,
• Bulk Water Supply,
• Management Contract,
• Performance Contracting,
• Water Demand Management,
• Rainwater Harvesting,
• Twinning, and
• Ring-fencing.

4.6 Basic Sanitation Development

Engr. Philip Diokno, gave a brief introduction on the basic information about sanitation
development. He discussed about the present situation of sanitation in the Philippines. He
also included in his discussion the difference between water supply and sanitation. Some
topics like sanitation intervention, SDGs, sanitation access, possible technologies and
sanitation treatment were briefly discussed.
Interventions on Sanitation:
• Engineering Solutions
• Hygienic Practices
• Simple Technologies
• SDG Definitions:
• Improved Sanitation Facilities
• Safely-Managed Sanitation Service
• Basic Sanitation Service
• Limited Service
• Approaches:
• Natural vs Mechanized System

• Centralized vs Decentralized Systems
• Drainage vs Sewerage System
Mr. Nel reiterated the need for additional costing for transportation in the sanitation costs due
to the geographical locations of the provinces.
5.0 MODULE 4: KEY POLICIES, PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
5.1 Identifying Key Programs and Projects: Investment Program, Institutional

and Project Implementation Arrangements (KRAs)
Engr. Elisa Cruz, financial analyst, discussed about identifying key programs and projects,
investment programs and implementation arrangements. “KRAs should be a priority to start
any project or else the study of that project will be all for nothing”
KRAs prepared should be SMART:
• S-specific
• M-measurable
• A-attainable
• R-relevant
• T-time-bound
The financial analyst gave a brief description about Government Financing Institutions (GFIs),
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), Office Development Assistance (ODAs) and Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs). She said that customer satisfaction should always be the result.
After the all the provinces have finished presenting, Mr. Leo briefly discussed about DEWATS
system and the different types of septic tanks.

Consultant: Consortium of Engineering and Development Corporation of the Philippines
(EDCOP), Tractebel Inc., and Orient Integrated Development Consultants, Inc.
(OIDCI
The Philippine government recognizes the need to provide universal access to water and
sanitation for all. While this has been pronounced in numerous occasions in different policies,
strategies, and campaigns, access to safe water and sanitation continues to be elusive for
some.
The Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP), which will be the product
of this study, is meant to be an action plan with a corresponding investment and financing
program to execute the Philippines Water Supply Sector Roadmap (PWSSR), and the
Philippines Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR), and put the targets for water and
sanitation into realization.
Project Objectives: Key Activities in the Development of Master Plan:
1. Formulate a Master Plan that will help 1. National Workshops

NW4:
achieve the targeted access for water
NW2: Presentation of
supply and sanitation Inception
NW3: the Draft

PART 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background /Rationale
(PWSSMP). Anchoring on the Philippine/Regional Development Plan 2017-2022, Clean Water
Act of 2004 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030, the formulation of PWSSMP
will take its shape to provide a great contribution to the global, national and provincial goals of
ensuring improved access to water supply and sanitation.
The formulation of the master plan has been covering various activities such as organization
and planning, sector assessment and regional visioning, strategy and operational plan
formulation through the conduct of nationwide regional workshops, formulation of the master
plan and knowledge, management, information, dissemination and training. Adhering to the
principles of ownership and participation, activities like sector assessment, regional visioning
and operational planning the formulation has been noted to be an affirmation of the bottom-up
approach to planning. it recognizes the collective roles of all stakeholders in coming up with an
in-depth assessment of the water supply and sanitation as well as sound and fitting strategies,
policies, programs and projects for the water supply and sanitation in the country from national
to local level . The project therefore is expected to produce National Master Plan and 16
Regional Master Plans.
The recently held regional planning workshop in Ilocos Region was the seventh track of regional
planning workshops. It successfully mobilized a good number of participants across the region
composed of Provincial Planning and Development Officers(PPDOs), Provincial Health Officers
(PHOs), City Planning Officers( CPOs), City Health Officers( CHOs, representatives from line
agencies, academe and the private sector.
The planning workshop has achieved the following objectives that include:1) Gained deeper
understanding of the water and sanitation situation of the region, 2) Clearer picture of the
desired state of the water and sanitation sector and success indicators, 3)Configured strategies
and their success indicators contributing towards the achievement of the overall sector vision,
4)Identified key programs projects and activities, time-line, investment requirements and
implementation arrangements, and 5) Gained knowledge and competencies in the strategic and
business planning process
The workshop has employed the following methodologies 1) Lecture/Inputs, 2) Open

Forum/Discussion, 3) Group Workshops and 4) outputs presentation, analyzing and
discussions. These methodologies have facilitated the achievement of the following desired
Outputs: 1) WSS Sector Situationer /indepth assessment, 2) Formulated the Regional Sector
Vision, 3) Configured the Strategies and its Key Result areas, 4) Identified Key Policies,
Programs, Projects, Activities, Time-line, Investment Requirements and Implementation
Arrangements, 5) Identified Priority Projects (per Program)/ Operational Plan and 6) Increased
competencies in the planning process

PART 2 - PROCEEDINGS AND OUTPUTS
1. Opening Program and Preliminaries
The first day of the Planning Workshop started with preliminaries in the morning that include
singing of national anthem, opening prayer, opening message. This was facilitated by the
team’s participation expert, Mr. Leo de Castro.
NEDA RO1 Assistant Regional Director Donald Gawe gave the opening message. His message
has the following key points:
 In the history of our civilization, we all know water is very important. History tells us that it
is a single determinant where early settlement where early settlements should be
located. Early civilization then choose places where there is water. Thus is the reason
why water is important. Water is also known as the source of conflict among early tribes
and comities then to areas with lack of water.
 In the Philippines, we have abundant sources of water and we often take this for granted
and oftentimes we do to give value in preserving it and consider it as a necessity of life.
However, as the globalization sets in as well as climate change But in the globalization
increases due to climate change water is becoming starves we now knew water is very
important water is getting scarce and we realized then that water indeed is very
important.
 The Formulation of PWSSMP is an answer to this scarcity and lack of universal access.
Aligned with PDP 2017-2022, it recognizes coordinated efforts across the country in
finding ways how to develop a plan that would ensure that there will be efforts to fill in
the gaps of on water supply and sanitation. Action then must be synchronized for
everybody is moving forward towards universal access to water and sanitation. There is
a big hope therefore, that this planning workshop can lead us to a clear vision, strategies
and set of actions as well as success indicators and clear guidance as well how we can
work together.
After RD Gawe's talk, NEDA RO1 EDS II - Ms. Irish Joy L. Mayrina, handled the in
acknowledgment and introduction of participants. The expectation setting part of the workshop.
Ms. Joyce Gonzaga:

Ms. Joyce Gonzaga synthesized processed them and made an insightful explanation how the
planning process should take place. She framed the expectations as parts of the bottom-up
approach to planning and implementation and even deepened it b citing the elements of four

participants. Further, the workshop design/program of activities was presented by Mr. Leo de
Castro to guide everyone on the objectives and workshop flow.
Ms. Gonzaga also gave some initial inputs on the planning process. She discussed that
planning's logic is a Left-Center-Right Planning. Left planning is assessing the situation, the
issues and challenges as well as the opportunities where solutions can be drawn. Specifically, it
is also Identification of current issues concerning water supply and sanitation in respective
areas. The Vision is the desired situation or the changed situations where issues and
challenges are already addressed. On the other hand, the right part of planning are the ways of
how to address issues and challenges- composed of the strategies, programs and projects,
activities, time line, indicative budget and implementation arrangement. It is a way of moving
forward how the undesired situation can be changed.
The presentation of the worship flow and design after Ms. Gonzaga's synthesis by Mr. Leo de
Castro to guide everyone on the objectives and workshop flow. Mr. Leo gave a brief introduction
about the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP) Regional Water
Supply and Sanitation Workshop, the objectives of this course and desired outputs based on
these objectives. Key policies, programs and projects aligned with this workshop were also
discussed. He stated that there is need to reflect on these and identify capacity-development
activities. He hopes that at the end of the three-day course, the participants will be very
ambitious and accomplish 70-80% of the road map. And Mr. Leo de Castro, Introduce all the
Team Members in the Regional Planning Workshop
The Norm Setting followed handled by: Ms. Mary Jane Cacanindin, SEDS of NEDA RO1. She
presented the house rules clearly and pointed out the importance of house rules and that is to
ensure success of the planning process. She enjoined everyone to participate actively and
emphasized then the following house rules:
 Attendance and Punctuality – Be early, Be here

 Courtesy & Discipline- Be courteous, Be gender sensitive and aware
 Workshop Evaluation – Be responsible, Be Healthy
 Other Concerns- Be orderly/ observe cleanliness
2. Workshop Proper
MODULE 1 – WHERE ARE WE NOW?
The first part of the workshop proper tackled Module 1- Where are we now? This module was
focused on understanding the context of water supply and sanitation as well as getting a good
picture of the water supply and sanitation from national, regional and provincial level. This
module has also covered an in-depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors in
ensuring better access to water supply and sanitation. Five sessions therefore were covered in
this module and this include: 1) Overview of the PWSSMP Project, 2) Introduction to the
Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) Sector, 3) Regional Water Supply and Sanitation
Situation, 4) presentation of WSS situationer from the provinces, 5) in depth assessment of
hindering and facilitating factors for water supply and sanitation, and 6) basic definitions on
water supply and sanitation.

Session 1: Overview of the PWSSMP Project
Key points discussed:
 In this session, an emphasis was given again that the product of this planning workshop
is an action plan that will help achieve universal access to water supply and sanitation.
This is also to incorporate the PWSSR and PSSR into single comprehensive Master
Plan, and link all other initiatives relating to WSS and UFF as well as to the Capacity
building of NEDA.
 The plan formulation project is expected to produce National Master Plan and 16
Regional Master Plans. Highlights of this master plan include e: PWSS Vision,
strategies, programs and projects and operational action plans along with the investment
requirements, time-line and implementation arrangements.
 The plan is strongly anchored on the Sustainable Development Goals 2030- Universal
and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and access to adequate and
equitable sanitation.
 The Philippine Government is highly committed to provide safe, clean water and
sanitation services for all through the formulation of PWSSMP. This strongly pushed by
Philippine/Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 and the Clean Water Act of 2004 as
well as the SDG 2030. The formulation of PWSSMP will take its shape to provide a great
contribution to the global and national objectives.
 The formulation of the master plan covers various activities such as organization and
planning, sector assessment and regional visioning, strategy and operational plan
formulation through the conduct of nationwide regional workshops, formulation of the
master plan and knowledge, management, information, dissemination and training.
 The project is expected to produce National Master Plan and 16 Regional Master Plans.
Highlights of this master plan include e: PWSS Vision, strategies, programs and projects
and operational action plans along with the investment requirements, time-line and
implementation arrangements.
 The project deliverables including (National Master Plan, Regional Master Plan 16,
Sector Roadmap and Investment). The Key Activities in the Development Master Plan
and the master plan will be under the 2017-2022 PDP Plan and accordance with the
SDG Goals. He also gave an update on the present status of the project (already in the
fifth month with the Inception Report and Sector Assessment Report done).

Session 2: Introduction to the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Sector
Key points discussed:
 “We need volumes of water supply now and more in the coming years.”, he said
backing it up by stressing out the reality on the continuous increase of the population
and the need for water.
 There is a need of finding an exceptional LGU water provider in the region. This is
important as this demonstrate the efficient and effective implementation of strategies to
achieve the target.
 Presented key challenges of the sector WSS sector such as the following:
Regulatory Challenges
 There is no “Regulatory Stick” to drive expansion and improvement of water systems

 There is no regulatory oversight for Joint Venture projects by water districts
 There is no national agency responsible for water supply and sanitation in the
country
 The water sector regulatory environment is fragmented(LWUA, NWRB, MWSS,
PEZA, TIEZA, LGUs) and observe different regulatory models
Governance Challenges
 There is no comprehensive strategy to achieve the SDG in water and sanitation;

definitions
 There is little awareness on the need for basic and improved sanitation at the local
level –and no sustained national or local efforts to improve awareness
 Many LGUs and water utilities do not practice Water Demand Management (WDM)
Management Challenges
 Majority of LGUs run water utilities are not set up and operated as business
enterprises and do not have the necessary technical and managerial capacities.
 •Many water districts do not have the technical capacity to engage in sewerage or
septage management
 •Many LGUs do not implement the proper regulation for septic tanks and other
onsite wastewater disposal systems
Political challenges
 There are conflicts between water districts and LGUs

 Politicized NIMBY
 Tariffs are politically influenced
8|Page
 Some points that were also discussed were the levels of water supply services,
classifications of sanitation and sewerage systems, population, supply and demand
statistics and the SDGs.
 As to sanitation, it was pointed out pointed out that desludged wastes should always be
brought to a treatment plant
 In line with supply and demand, the sector cannot cope with the increasing demand for
water supply.
 Some of the issues affecting the sector are the following:
o low percentage of the Philippine population that has access to water supply
o Presence of policies but absence of national agencies that will make them
happen
o Health and environmental issues
Session 3: Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation
NEDA RO and the provinces were asked to present the Water Supply and Sanitation situation in

12 | P a g e
As a wrap up and synthesis to the presentation on provincial data and statistics, Ms. Joyce
Gonzaga gave some handles on data appreciation, interpretation, analysis and management.
The key points of her inputs are the following:
 There are two types of data: 1) Quantitative Data ---- numbers, percentage ( quantitative
measurements)--- needs scientific interpretation and inference and 2) Qualitative -----
Descriptive and narrative ( perceptions, opinions, biases and ideas )
 Data sets are gauged according to: 1) Relevance: logical relationships-- are they
close/closer to the main subject (sorted data, b)) Scope ( data coverage: area, age,
gender, color, sizes and other forms of categorization), 3) Magnitude: (depth: how
serious ? How grave ?, ) 4)Urgency ( burden, and ): life and death situations; needs
immediate attention, and Importance: close to being relevant ; strategic priority, target
priority
 Data appreciation, interpretation, analysis and conclusion is best done by a CRITICAL

MIND.
Session 4: Hindering and Facilitating Factors on WSS
This session started with some handles on how to assess the regional contexts in relation to the
universal access to water supply and sanitation. Groupings were based on the three
assessment areas namely:
 Planning and Development (allocation of resources (financing and funding mechanisms)

/priority for development, cost recovery mechanism, policies at the national and local
level, set standards)
 Service Provision (water and sanitation service providers)
 Regulation (monitoring and evaluation of compliance to standards, review and approval
of tariff proposals, implementation of sanctions and incentives)
In addition, cross cutting areas were also identified as focus of analysis:
 Policy and Institutional (Policy: laws, ordinances, guidelines, regulations; Institutional:

agencies, systems and procedures, coordination structures like TWG, WATSAN Com,
roles and responsibilities)
 Leadership including Politics
 Cultural/Behavioral/Attitudinal
 Capacity (awareness/knowledge, skills, human resources)
 Infrastructure
The participants were divided into three groups namely, (1) Planning and Development, (2)
Service Provision and (3) Regulation. Below are the groups’ workshop outputs:

MODULE 2: WHERE WE WANT TO BE
Session 5: Vision Setting
The Vision setting followed after the in-depth analysis of the water supply and sanitation issues
and challenges. This was handled by the workshop facilitator, Ms. Joyce Gonzaga.
The participants were grouped by province (4), regional government agencies (2) and NEDA
RO 1. They were then instructed to visualize their dreams concerning water and sanitation, and
draw a symbol that represents their dreams on a manila paper. Each member of the group were
instructed to explain the drawing.
A representative from each group was chosen to be part of the vision crafters group. The group
was tasked to meet, discuss and create a regional vision. Ms. Gonzaga gave an overview about
“What is a Vision Statement?”, and elements for visioning.

was formed to craft the Regional Vision based form the group outputs.
Session 6: Setting the WSS Targets
Water Supply
Engr. Edward Cruz, water supply engineer, presented the national WSS targets for water supply
and sanitation. He gave an introduction on the spreadsheets that will be used as a guide for:
 Population Projection,
 Rural and Urban Classifications,
 Water Supply Statistics, and
 Project Costs
Sanitation
Engr. Philip Diokno, sanitation engineer, presented the national targets on sanitation and
clarified about the definitions on toilet classifications as questioned by a representative from
NEDA R8. He gave an introduction on the spreadsheets to be used as guide for:
 Sanitation statistics,
 Costing estimations,
 Land classifications, and
 Others.
Edward Cruz and Engr. Philip Diokno introduced the WSS toolkits developed by the consultants
for the setting of the WSS targets. There are two target years which are 2022 for the Philippine
Development Plan and 2030 for the Sustainable Development Goals. Armed with their
population statistics for water supply and sanitation coverage the following tables show the

The first part of the day is the recap day 1 given by of the participants. Afterwards, presentation
of the crafted draft regional vision by Ms. Sharwyn M. Sangel, PDMU Officer of DILG RO1.
Key thoughts for the Vision By 2030:
 Focus in water and sanitation

 Sound environmental and adequate water
 World class safe and clean water sustainable sanitation facilities
 Peace and order
The Regional Vision
“By 2030, Region 1 is a clean and healthy place with safe adequate and
sustainable water and good sanitation for all.”
 Engr. Edward Cruz discussed the water supply strategies in urban and rural settings. He
included in his presentation some strategies in the development of the water supply
sector:
o Strengthening Water Supply Sector Institutions
o Developing Capacities for Water Supply Services
o Building Strategic Alliances – collaboration with different institutions and
agencies
o Adequate Infrastructure Provisions – financing, source development and water
supply distribution
 Mr. Leo de Castro discussed about the national sanitation plan, national targets and
goals. He included in his presentation some strategies in the development of the
sanitation sector:
o Responsive Sanitation Governance and Strengthened Regularity Mechanism
o Service Delivery through Communications and Capacity Development
o Strengthened Strategic Alliances
o Financing and Infrastructure Provision
o Emergency Sanitation Response in Place
19 | P a g e
 There was a suggestions that the national plan be made available for every region for
every region. There should be also allocations of facilities during and allocate facilities,
and plan to segregate and allocate dislodging trucks to designated areas.
 Engr. Ortigas said that it is possible but, the question directs to the sustainability after
the project is finished. “To initiate change, you need a catalyst for it.” He added.
Representatives from different sectors agreed and shared about the importance of effort
to sustain these elements.

Insights
Mr. Ashley B. Antonio, Engineer IV of DOH RO1.
 DOH has a National Sustainable Sanitation Program. All targets on what was said in the
discussion were all being done here in Region 1. Perhaps it is not being attained
because by 2016 it’s supposed to be 100%.
 As far as water is concerned, there are local water drinking committee but all barangays
here in Region 1 have at least 60% no open defecation and as of now Region 1 is 40%
in 2018. We are doing our best to make zero open defecation attained by 2019 which is
100%.
 In terms of Local drinking water (Executive Order to monitor the quality) we are doing
this to achieve access to safe water. DOH is doing surveillance and resampling activities
to make it safe to drink.
 Adequacy is another problem because of climate change on where are we going to get
the sources in water.
 Complete system in selected areas project of DOH but give fund to the poorest of
barangays. We need to enhance in building alliance like DOH, DILG and NGA’s, to work
together because the endpoint was health in water sanitation so let’s invest in the water
sanitation.
Mr. Diego de Guzman, Executive Assistant to the Mayor/ CENRO OIC of CENRO- San Carlos
City.
 He said that a Clean Water Act is already a push factor to have a budget. The budgeting
become bigger for example if we follow the clean water act we need to construct in the
new one especially in septic tanks.

Session 9: Sharing Models and Approaches to Water Supply and Sanitation
Basic Water Supply Development
Engr. Philip Diokno gave a brief introduction on the basic information about water supply
water. He presented population projections for Region 1 and also the water supply and demand
projections. He gave emphasis on was the water supply system and expounded the idea that
there are many water sources that the region could utilize. Concepts on water supply were also
discussed.
Engr. Cruz, then, clarified the definitions and inclusions for each level of service as well as
topics on water demand, potential water sources, water treatment, sustainable water supply
system requirements, planning processes, and approaches on water supply development were
tackled.
Water supply development practices were introduced such as the following:

 River Basin Approach,
 Bulk Water Supply,
 Management Contract,
 Performance Contracting,
 Water Demand Management,
 Rainwater Harvesting,
 Twinning, and
 Ring-fencing.
Comments and Insights
 Ms. Nenilu D. Cacas, Project Evaluation Officer III of HUDCC - North Luzon said that the
level 1 not environmental friendly.
 Engr. Noel M. Ortigas answered that Level 1 doesn’t tap it is in aquifer shallow. Hence,
we have to consider the following:
o Groundwater mining when extract into ground more than what we recharge
o Go to formation that doesn’t extract the water
o Hope to do extract is what being recharge
o Overpumping the voids disappear
o Surface water more than enough we need
o Tap in proper way and proper timing
 Mr. Diego de Guzman implied that – no tap water that can be consumed now because
people now prefer mineral water
 Mr. Leo de Castro discussed the SDG Goals especially the no. 6 goals  ensure
availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for alland Translating
the SDG’s targets and implications
 Mr. Ashley Antonio asked how are we going in the regulation?, can we compile in the
regulation of other agencies and hope the plans for compliance in Standard and
Monitoring in the water for SDG Drinking water put in the Master Plan. And DILG doesn’t
comply in DOH in SALINTUBIG. Understanding of wastewater (point &non-point
sources, sanitation interventions)

Basic Water and Sanitation Development
Discussed some topics like sanitation intervention, SDGs, sanitation access, possible
technologies and sanitation treatment were briefly discussed through key points below:
 Interventions on Sanitation:
o Engineering Solutions
o Hygienic Practices
o Simple Technologies
 SDG Definitions:
o Improved Sanitation Facilities
o Safely-Managed Sanitation Service
o Basic Sanitation Service
o Limited Service
 Approaches:
o Natural vs Mechanized System
o Onsite vs Offsite Systems
o Centralized vs Decentralized Systems
o Drainage vs Sewerage System
Mr. de Castro also discussed why sanitation and hygiene matter with the following key points:
The significance of hygiene and sanitation has reasons why they matter with a presentation
current statistics on sanitation trends. Key issues and constraints were identified:
 Lack of a large-scale, comprehensive sanitation program

 Poor demand for sanitation
 Weak and incoherent supply chain
 Affordability constraints
 Equity Issue
Mr.de Castro also stressed about the large number of population that uses open defecation in
Region 1. In addition, he showed statistics on sanitation access (rural and urban). Topics on
community-led total sanitation, toilet acquisition, options for toilet models (super-structured &
sub-structured) and implementation strategies were also discussed.
Key Insights
 Sanitation as a priority
 Poor sanitation has major economic impacts
and Sanitation Vision
This part of the session is considered as the main course of the activity. This is envisioned to
give substantial clarity on how the regional Vision on water Supply and Sanitation should take
place. This was facilitated by Ms. Joyce Gonzaga wherein she gave some basic handles first on
how to formulate and configure strategies.
22 | P a g e
The third module then tackled the question, How do we get there? This means the Vision as the
anchor needs to move forward and be able to guide in the formulation of strategies. This
session is divided into three parts that include: 1) Presentation of Sanitation Strategies to Rural
and Urban setting, 2) Presentation of models and initiatives done in relation to ensuring access
and 3) configuring the strategies after in-depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors.
The facilitator gave first the basic handles on strategy configuration and formulation. Afterwards,
participants were divided into groups according to provinces. Guided by the resource persons’
and facilitators ‘inputs, they all crafted their respective Provincial Strategies to translate the
Regional Vision into specific approaches to get the best results.
A member of each group presented the group outputs to the plenary and each group has
gathered comments and suggestions to enhance their outputs
Below are the configured Strategies for the Region:

The key points of for synthesis are the following:
 Strategies are well thought of, and well crafted. In-depth assessment indeed helped a lot
in coming up with calculated, maximized and cautious strategies.
 Clear and solid strategies are needed to ensure that there is a strategic fit of programs,
projects and activities vis- a- vis investment requirements, time line and implementation
arrangements.
 Key result areas (KRAs) are evidences of the strategies (achieved or not). They are also
 also measures to tell us ( short term, medium term and long term ) to indicate the
achievement level. If Achieved-- best practice, expand, scale up, sustain, continue etc, If
not achieved- minimize, terminate, revise, enhance, modify, diversify--- RESTRATEGIZE
MODULE 4 – KEY POLICIES, PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
The day started again with a brief recap of the workshop facilitator that took off from the
previous day’s session on Strategy Formulation. It was emphasized that these elements -
24 | P a g e
KRAs. Programs, projects and activities are actually the operative processes of the strategies.
Participants were then requested to group together according to the three elements of planning
and development, service provision, and regulation to translate the identified regional strategies
into specific course of action that would help achieve the objective and goals of the PWSSMP.
Participants were back to the their groups and have also identified Key Result Areas, Policies,
Programs, Projects, Activities, Investment Requirements, Time-line and Implementation
Arrangements anchored on the Regional Vision, and the strategies they have formulated for the
elements assigned to them.

Session 12: Additional Sessions: Financial Aspects
 Engr. Elisa Cruz, financial analyst, was tasked to discuss about identifying key programs
and projects, investment programs and implementation arrangements. “Financing is a
very critical component when it comes to project implementation.” she quoted,
She presented key points and discussed about the implementation of key programs and
projects. She also emphasized the importance on focusing on results rather than
activities
 On KRAs, planner must dwell on the critical few that affect the program ofr project jetKey
Results Areas
- Critical Few – affect the project
- Politics, Economics, Social, Technology, Legal, Environment (P.E.S.T.L.E)
- WATER PERMIT
- Implementation identifying KRA’s helps individuals
- Financial Planning ( resources needed, possible sources of funds, repayment
schemes, tariff design & levels, operating options)
- Financial for water supply and sanitation (GFI, PPP)
In addition, the KRAs prepared should be SMART:
 S-specific
 M-measurable
 A-attainable
 R-relevant
 T-time-bound
 The financial analyst gave a brief description about Government Financing Institutions
(GFIs), Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), Office Development Assistance (ODAs) and
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). She said that customer satisfaction should always
be the result.
 She also discussed that KRA is a major concern for region /province as LGUs are
expected to invest their energy, time and talent during their period of commitment. This
kind of investment must be gauged inorder to determine the effectiveness of strategies
formulated and implemented.
Insights
Mr. Jamil Pasoquen, CPDO Staff of City Government of San Carlos City, Pangasinan
 There is a need for PPP .and there are three modalities needed such as service
contracts, proof that there are no public funds and equity.
Mr. John Haskell Calpito, General Manager of Narvacan Water District
 Ilocor Sur doesn’t want big projects as of now.

Mr. Rexie Taberna, Engineer B of Metro Vigan Water Districts
 There are incoming PPP that we are interested in.
29 | P a g e
Mr. Benjamin Distor, General Manager of San Carlos Water District
 We can have fund bakit need pa ng private and makipagtrensact into PPP? We need
a situational plan first para walang problema. In fact it took us 2 years to comply with
the requirements of the project 60 million, but it cannot still solve the problem. There
is a problem in politics that causes the problem
On Sanitation, Objective Verifier Indicator (OVI) on Public Health and Environmental Quality
Indicators
 Ms. Elisa Cruz advised them if they’re going to test a water ask for advance copy
and better coordinate/communicate about related disease
Mr. Noel M. Ortigas
 Water services is a very good investment to be tied up with DOH. There is a need to
come up with a trending analysis in areas of water service provision. In addition there
should be also correlation of variables in the water supply and quality monitoring as well
as in ensuring that service provision becomes income generating
Mr. Joseph Anthony Quinto
 Groundwater problem one source is nice but more expensive source of quality water
Mr. Benjamin Distor
 Asked if there is a DPWH participant in the venue, He asked about project cost for
HUC’s. He wanted to know the revised guidelines that included HUC’s. Mr. Reynaldo
Ganuelas, Engineer III of DPWH RO1 answered there is a proposals 50/50 arrangement
but so far no submission of proposals yet.
After the presentation of Ms. Cruz, the crafting of the Provincial Water Supply and Sanitation
Plan followed. Participants were instructed to go back to their respective provincial groupings to
accomplish the task. The workshop facilitator gave some handles on how to prepare the
provincial WSS plans and each group was given ample time to prepare their plans. They were
further instructed to present the plan on the following day.

PART 3 - MOVING FORWARD AND CLOSING PROGRAM
Engr. Edward Cruz led the “Way Forward” session and asked the participants from the different
sectors to give their statements for how to continue the master plan after the workshop as well
as their insights and learnings to the plan formulation. Some of the key points mentioned in
moving forward are the following:
 Go back to their respective provinces and re-validate existing data to ensure proper
WSS targeting and be guided by the newly formulated regional plan
 Recognize the role of the private sector as it has to be ensured that their role is fully
mainstreamed into the implementation arrangements.
 Gratitude to everyone for the commitment and dedication to finish a tedious and detailed
process planning especially to the team
A brief closing ceremony took place after the sharing of thoughts and insights on how to move
forward. The Assistant Regional Director of NEDA Region 1 gave the closing remarks. She
congratulated all the participants and the organizers for the success of the workshop. “Water is
the most important thing in the universe yet, it is the most taken for granted. We cannot imagine
life without water.” she said while sharing her experiences on water and sanitation. She ended
her message by pointing out goals for the region and encouraging the participants to move
forward and work hard to achieve these goals. “We cannot last days without water.” she closed.

HIGHLIGHTS: Number of Households in Occupied Dwelling Units in Region I
• In 2010, majority of the households in Region I have private water-sealed,

sewer/ septic tank type of toilet facilities. Prior to 2010, only up to one third
of the households in the region used the same type of toilet facility.
• Though reduced significantly, there is still 36,606 households (3.48%) in the

region which used either open pit, pail system or no toilet facility.

1.0 OPENING SESSION
The first session of the PWSSMP Regional Planning Workshop started at exactly 9:00am.
Preliminaries include a short invocation followed by the singing of the National Anthem.
1.1 Welcome Remarks by NEDA OIC-RD Engr. Ferdinand P. Tumaliuan, EnP

NEDA OIC-Regional Director Engr. Ferdinand P. Tumaliuan welcomed and thanked the participants
for their attendance to the three-day regional planning workshop. He was very glad that all the
participants are truly involved in the water supply and sanitation sector especially in the countryside.
In his message, he said that NEDA has already launched the Ambisyon Natin 2040, the Philippine
Development Plan 2017-2022 and the Cagayan Valley Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 last
year. These shall set the development direction of all stakeholders in their development endeavours
for the next six years. In line with this, he also stressed the country’s commitment and objective to
localize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030 and one of which is Goal 6 aimed to provide
water sanitation facilities to all. He expressed his enthusiasm that the government is now embarking
on the creation of a Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan along with the efforts to localize
national strategies into the specific needs of the Region. In ending, he stressed the importance of
WSS in the lives of the fellow citizens. The 3-day activity shall then serve as an opportunity to share
their experiences and give inputs in planning for the WSS sector. He enjoined the active participation
of everyone on the said event.

After the photo opportunity of the group with NEDA Director Tumaliuan and acknowledgement of
participants by group, Ms. Imelda Abarquez of Tractebel led the expectations setting for the three-
day activity through the presentation of three questions:
 What do you expect to accomplish at the end of the 3 day planning workshop?
 How do you want to accomplish this?
 What ground rules should we observe during the workshop?
Each group (by province) wrote their answers in metacards and presented their answers afterwards.
The following is the summary of the responses:
Question 1 Participants expect to have a clear understanding of topics, learn new

techniques or best practices on WSS management and technology, and define
the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders.
Question 2 The participants expect to accomplish the planning workshop through group
discussions, plant visit, evidence-based and theoretical planning during
workshops to come up with the inputs. The technical assistance and guidance of
the consultants were also sought in addressing the issues and coming up with
solutions.
Question 3 The participants have committed the following in order to realize the successful
conduct of the workshop: active participation through sharing and giving of
inputs, team work and punctuality in attendance throughout the sessionsThey
also requested the facilitators to observe the time as scheduled.

2.0 PRESENTATIONS
2.1 Overview of the NEDA’s Formulation of the Philippine WSS Master Plan
(PWSSMP) Project and the Regional Master Plan Workshop
Ms. Abarquez presented the government’s commitment to provide safe, clean water and sanitation
services for all through the formulation of the PWSSMP. This effort is also underlined in the
Philippine/Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 and the Clean Water Act of 2004 as well as the
SDG 2030. She said that the PWSSMP is an action plan with corresponding investment and financing
programs to execute all water supply and sanitation initiatives (i.e., Philippine Water Supply Sector
Roadmap (PWSSR), Philippine Sanitation Sector Roadmap (PSSR), Clean Water Act of 2004) and put
targets for water supply and sanitation into realization. She emphasized the country’s medium-term
target of increasing access to safe water supply to 95.16 percent and basic sanitation to 97.46
percent (PDP 2017-2022), as well as the long-term target of realizing a universal and equitable
access to safe and affordable drinking water and adequate and equitable sanitation (SDG 2030).
With regard to the details of the PWSSMP Project, she said that the Project’s timeframe is only 12-
months covering various activities such as organization and planning, sector assessment through the
conduct of nationwide regional workshops, formulation of the master plan and knowledge,
management, information, dissemination and training. The project deliverables include one National
Master Plan and 16 Regional Master Plans. These roadmaps shall contain the policy framework,
reform programs, strategies and operational action plans along with the investment and financing
schemes of the identified short to long-term projects, programs and activities. She also informed the
participants of the project schedule wherein the Master Plan is already expected to be completed on
Julyand launched by August of this year.
On the objectives of the workshop, she expected that the participants shall be able to gain a deeper
understanding on the current WSS situation in the region, envision the desired state of the WSS
sector in the region, and identify strategies, success indicators and key programs, priority projects
and initiatives to achieve the WSS vision.
Mr. Oscar M. Jusi of EDCOP started his presentation with a short detail on the sector performance of
the WSS sector in 2015 as follows:
Water Supply
Based from the official statistics of PSA, the current water supply coverage in the country is 87.2
percent. More than 50 percent of the households have no piped water onto premises (Level 3). Also,
about13 million people or 12.8 percent of the population do not have access to safe water. As of
December 2015, 322 municipalities continue to be “waterless.” Across the country, there were 9
4
regions including Region 02 with more than 50 percent of its population having a Level 1 access only.
This translates that 2 out of 10 persons in Cagayan Valley do not have access to safe water.
Sanitation
Based from the PSA data, the country’s basic access to sanitation is 93.73 percent. Around 74
percent of the households were connected to on-site or off-site treatment. However, about 4.3
milllion still defecate in the open. Across regions, the highest improved access is registered in Region
4A (88%), NCR (85%) and Region 3 (82%). Likewise, the highest open defecation rate is registered in
ARMM (18.3%), Region 5 (11.9%) and Region 7 (8.5%) Meanwhile, Region 02’s improved sanitation is
pegged at 52.20 percent and open defecation rate at 0.27 percent, the latter as the lowest in the
country.
Mr. Tecson stressed that the slow development in WSS is due to poor governance and lack of
technical/ managerial capacities in many WSPs, limited access to finance, weak regulation,
fragmented sector policy development and planning.
On the impacts of sanitation in the Philippines, he underlined that the economic impact on water
resources accounted to about 23 percent of the total cost. The economic cost is equivalent to about
1.5 percent of the GDP or per capita losses of US$ 16.8 per year. Some of the water resource issues
identified are insufficient volume, water quality, sustainability or improper management of
resources, and resiliency to climate change and extreme events.
Given these situations and issues, Mr. Jusi pointed out the challenges that the WSS sector is
currently facing:
 On regulatory challenges, among the concerns include the absence of national agency
responsible for water supply and sanitation, fragmented water sector regulatory
environment following different regulatory models, absence of regulatory stick to drive
improvement of water systems, and lack of regulatory oversight for joint venture projects by
water districts (WDs).
 On governance challenges, there are no standard definition and comprehensive strategy to
achieve the targets set for WSS in the SDG, lack of awareness on the need for basic and
improved sanitation at the local level, and practice of water demand management.
 On financing, inaccessibility of funds or financing among small water utilities, inadequate
knowledge on water utility operations among banks, and low credit worthiness among WDs
remain as a challenge.
 On management level, majority of the LGUs that run water utilities are not operated as
business enterprises. Also, they do not have the adequate necessary technical and
managerial expertise. Among WDs, inadequate technical capacity on sewerage and septage
management was noted.
 On political challenges, conflicts between water districts and LGUs and presence of political
influences were observed. There is also a need to re-visit or amend laws including the
lenient enforcement of laws.
5
Discussion Points:
 There is a need to reconcile and agree on the acceptability of safe water with regard to the
WHO standards of safety on the levels of service and those used by the Department of
Health (DOH), Water Districts and LGUs especially in their inspection activities to have a
common definition and unified interpretation of reports and targets.
 There is a need to look at the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) community and consult with them
with regard to the needs at the upland rural community in order to make the plan holistic
and inclusive.
 PD 198 Sec 3 (b) is considered as a hindrance or disincentive to the expansion of the water
systems among water districts.
2.3 Definition of Terms on WSS

Important definitions on water supply and sanitation were discussed by Mr. Oscar M. Jusi, Mr. Jay
Tecson of Tractebel and Engr. Philip Diokno of EDCOP, respectively. Among the important terms
defined are the levels of service in water systems, to wit: Level 1 includes all point sources in water
system; Level 2 are the communal faucet system or stand post; Level 3 are the waterworks system.
On sanitation, it is defined as the hygienic means of promoting health through prevention of human
contact with the hazards of wastes. Some of the misunderstood terms are also defined such as the
following: ‘safely managed’ meaning improved facilities which are not shared with other households
and where excreta are safely disposed in situ or transported and treated off-site; ‘basic sanitation’
referred to as facilities which are not shared with other households and is not safely managed; and,
‘limited’ referring to facilities shared between two or more households and is safely managed.
2.4 Sanitation and Water Supply Strategies in Urban and Rural Setting
2.4a Sanitation
Initially, Mr. Tecson emphasized the difference between water supply and sanitation in terms of
infrastructure, products and services, approaches, and environment. He said that sanitation is
included in the water supply because of the need to address waste water. He presented various
concepts and definitions on sanitation particularly on the difference of septage and sewerage to
help them educate their local officials when identifying appropriate PPAs for sanitation. He also
stressed that while water resources are vast in nature, only 3 percent of the resource can be
used, hence, the need to protect and implement sanitation programs. Some of the terms
defined are wastewater and fecal sludge management, sewerage system and septage
management. Likewise, he discussed several sanitation interventions such as the use of
engineering solutions, simple technologies and adoption of personal hygiene practices. He
further elaborated the F-diagram transmission routes where people can get water-borne
diseases due to fecal oral transmission. He underlined that everyone shall have to comply with
the SDG targets by 2030. He shared that in the SDG document, there are three main ways listed
down to meet the criteria for having a safely managed sanitation service: (a) people should use
improved sanitation facilities which are not shared with other households and the excreta
produced should either be treated and disposed of in situ; (b) fecal wastes should be stored
6
temporarily, emptied and transported to treatment off-site or; (c) transported through a sewer
with wastewater then treated off-site.
Various rural sanitation approaches include the conduct of community-led total sanitation
activities, behaviour change communications or IEC, consumer research, supply chain
assessment, and capacity development, among others.
Mr. Tecson also highlighted various financing schemes for sanitation projects. One of which is
the grant of the NSSMP for projects on sewerage and septage management. These are granted
to LGUs and WDs, with a 50 percent counterpart on the total project cost. Other schemes are
national subsidies (i.e., UFF), tariffs, LGU and debt financing, NWQMF and AWQMF, and public-
private partnerships (PPP) schemes.
Discussion Points:
 The NSMMP coverage includes all cities, first class municipalities and highly urbanized
cities. For the 2nd to 6th class municipalities, a sanitation component is proposed to be
included on DILG’s SALINTUBIG Program and Assistance to Disadvantaged Municipalities
(ADM).
 There are different WSS plans requiring different formats by various government
agencies to LGUs, hence, the there is a need for a uniformed planning.
 LGUs especially the officials (executive and legislative) should observe the new plan-
budgeting guidelines of the government which is the inclusion of proposed PPAs to a
higher hierarchy of plan (i.e., provincial, regional investment programs).
2.4b Basic Water Supply Development

Mr. Jusi initially presented several water supply concepts including water resources, watershed
and water supply system, among others. He discussed the relevant criteria applied to the water
system such as the availability and reliability of water supply, water quality, water tariff and
future potential for system expansion. He stressed the importance of treating the water
resources to prevent threats (e.g., iron, manganese, phosphorous nitrogen, etc.) in providing
water services to the community 24/7. He reiterated the definition of the three levels of service
emphasizing the required liter per capita demand (lpcd) or the water daily consumption rate of
population to be served per day: 10-20 lpcd for Level 1, 40-60 lpcd for Level 2, and 100-200 lpcd
for Level 3. He also enumerated the potential sources and treatment methods of water.
On establishing a sustainable water supply system, he underlined that the processes on planning,
implementation and operation must be thorough and well-thought, engineering and
construction must be reliable, investment and financing program must be adequate,
stakeholders must be pro-active, and water tariff must be well-structured and regulated.
Mr. Jusi also highlighted the need to have a Water Safety Plan (WSP) in order to have a ready
water supply in case of the occurrence of risks such as disasters and other natural hazards. It
also contains the processes to monitor and validate the effectiveness of management control
systems and the quality of water produced. The formulation of the WSP is spearheaded by DOH.
7
On identifying key approaches and strategies in rural areas, the following must be considered:
community management, demand-responsive, project approach and service delivery approach.
On urban communities, the WSS must be integrated and privatized (partnership with the private
sector), water districts must be formed, and LGUs must also have the managerial and technical
capacities to run water utilities.
Overall, the key approaches and strategies recommended include strengthening of the water
supply institutions, enhancing technical capacities of key actors, provision of adequate
infrastructure, adoption of sustainable water management practices, and utilization of
technology. An example of used technology in the WSS sector is the harvesting of rainwater as a
potential water source. Annually, the Philippines posts a total volume of available rainwater at
300,000 MCM and an average rainfall of 1,000 mm. Other technology options are bored wells
with pump, spring development, infiltration gallery/well, and filtration system. In conducting a
water supply planning process, Scheme development must also observe environmental
assessment, designs, development costs and implementation schedule and various economic
and financial viability analyses. He said that in identifying strategies, building alliances between
the executive and legislative and forging partnerships with the private sector should be
prioritized to provide sustainable and adequate water supply development projects vis-à-vis
funding support and strategic implementation. He stressed the role of the local officials to
champion water supply programs and projects as well as the creation of one Department to
oversee and strengthen the WSS sector. He then encouraged the LGUs to list down all the
necessary PPAs in their provinces.
2.5 Identifying Key Policies, Programs and Projects/ Activities
Mr. Tecson said that the participants can use the sanitation ladder as their basis in coming up with
programs and projects. For example, for areas with open defecation, PPAs may include information
dissemination activities on open defecation to increase awareness among the community and
eliminate the issue. On the other hand, he recommended that all provinces must establish septage
management by 2022. The PLGUs may also use zones or clustering approach for this project.
He shared a series of slides on completed sanitation projects in the Philippines. Examples of these
are the domestic wastewater and septage treatment plant in five municipalities in the Sarangani
province. The primary objective of the project is to protect the Sarangani Bay. This was implemented
by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and funded through Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Other completed septage treatment plants were built in
Caloocan City, Makati, Dumaguete City and Bulacan. In Negros Oriental, a domestic effluent
treatment plant was also established.
In ending, he advised the participants to start their PPAs and identify policies in addressing open
defecation in their areas. They are encouraged to assess those that have communal or basic
sanitation then upgrade these to improved sanitation facilities and put up a septage management
program. For highly urbanized cities, he suggested the provision of a sewerage management
program.
8
Discussion Points:
 Sanitation programs sensitive to population is the identification of appropriate technologies.

A more natural system should be used when considering the population and as it grows, a
more sophisticated technology is recommended.
 For septage treatment plan, the rule of thumb is 1 million cubic meter daily flow.
 DENR has never endorsed technologies on sewerage. The agency is only interested in the
effluent standards of the facilities which shall be their basis in issuing Discharge Permits.
 LGUs should always consider the whole population in their projections because the WDs are
only obligated to their clients and those connected to their system. It is the WDs’ discretion
to extend their services outside their concession areas.
 Local Chief Executives (LCEs) should be fully aware on the ordinances and circulars of the
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
 Plans should be signed by appropriate persons (i.e., sanitation engineers and not master
plumbers).
 LGUs should adopt technologies and water demand management.
2.6 Investment Program (LWUA Finance Strategies)

Ms. Myra Ravelo of Tractebel presented the various septage/ sanitation pricing strategies for Water
Districts. These strategies are aligned to various laws, resolutions, Departmental programs such as
PD 198, LOI 700, the DPWH National Sewerage and Septage Management Program and UN
Resolution 64 and 292.
She discussed various pricing strategies such as the WD concessionaires, non-WD concessionaires,
defined the flat fee estimation of the affordability of water through proxy indicators and the
necessary adjustment cycles for water districts. The safeguards for this pricing strategies are ring
fencing of sanitation operations from water supply operations, performance review and
commitments including the review of LWUA for increasing water rates, compliance targets, capped
sanitation fee, and LGU ordinances.
2.7 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of Water Supply and Sanitation

Providers
2.7a Key Performance Indicators on Water Supply (DILG)
The KPIs monitored by the DILG were presented by Mr. Jusi. Among these KPIs are the service
coverage ratio where a 60 percent coverage level is acceptable; staffing ratio rated as normal if
there are 7 employees per 1,000 households for small water utilities (LGU waterworks or 1
employee per 100 connections for water district; current ratio or the test of liquidity; and
operating ration or the proportion of expenses to revenues. The return on assets was also
monitored where the standard is one (1) percent return given that water utilities are capital-
intensive. Likewise, the revenue collection efficiency must not be less than 90 percent. Other
9
KPIs discussed are the net profit margin and return on equity. For government-run utilities, he
said that if there is an excess in the net profit margin, the profit must be plowed back to the
municipality for the improvement of the system or other developments.
2.7b Key Performance Indicators to Monitor WD Performance after Tariff Approval

Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA)
Mr. Jusi proceeded with the presentation of KPIs on Water District’s performance. It shall be
reviewed semi-annually by the LWUA Development Group. He said that the WDs should be able
to attain an acceptable performance levels on KPIs. If performance is low or failed to meet the
standard performance, LWUA has implemented sanctions such as the withholding of approval
on subsequent tariff adjustments and other financial assistance, issuance of authority for foreign
travels, adjustment in WD Board per diems, and other requests by the WD. He stressed the
importance of measuring the performance to ensure sustainability of the water utilities.
2.7c Objectively Verifiable Indicators (OVIs) for Sanitation
In this presentation, the participants were briefly refreshed on identifying objectively verifiable
indicators (OVIs) for sanitation. According to Engr. Diokno, OVIs are key specific measures of the
progress, success, effectiveness and efficiency of the project. It specifically sets measures on
technical and financial performances of the project as well as the public’s satisfaction on the
service delivered. Engr. Diokno then presented several indicators for the sanitation sector in
terms of operations performance of the project, public health and environmental quality
indicators, financial sustainability of operations, and proxy indicators on the behavioural aspect.
Discussion Points:
 There are LGU-managed water utilities because not all areas have water districts.
 The water district’s performance is monitored by the LWUA. There should also be a
monitoring team/body to measure the performance of LGU-managed water utilities in terms
of capacity, technical upgrading, etc.
 The Isabela Province is a recipient of five (5) Level 3 Projects funded by the World Bank.
These projects were managed by the LGUs. In the case of LGU-Luna, the project is
implemented aside from the presence of a WD in the area. The performance of these water
utilities were monitored by the Commission on Audit (COA) but only in the financial aspect.
 DILG’s SALINTUBIG Program provides capacity building to LGUs.
 The role of the Province relative to the implementation of WSS programs and projects and
attainment of KPIs should be defined.

3.0 WORKSHOP RESULTS
Before the conduct of the activity, the provincial government units were asked to prepare a brief
presentation on the current WSS situation of the provinces. During the first session of the activity,
the group presented their provincial situation including the Regional WSS Situationer delivered by
Engr. Jose M. Zipagan PSE, MPA of DOH 02. Outputs of the participants are attached in Annex 3.

Workshop 2: Regional WSS Situation on Key Areas
Ms. Abarquez presented a brief overview on the key areas that need to be evaluated in the WSS
sector. These areas are planning and development, service provision, regulation and cross-cutting
themes such as policy and institutional, leadership including politics, cultural/ behavioural/
attitudinal, and capacity. The participants were asked to identify the a) facilitating factors, b)
hindering factors, c) key issues, constraints and gaps in the WSS. Outputs of the participants are
attached in Annex 3. Workshop Outputs.
In summary, the following are the factors and issues identified by the participants.
Planning and development
The participants identified the inclusion and allocation of funds of the WSS sector in the
development plans as one of the facilitating factors in this area. The provincial and municipal
government also identified this sector as one of their priority program and project. On the other
hand, the hindering factors for this area include the inaccessibility of and low awareness on available
financing schemes especially for LGUs, poor enforcement of national and local policies, the presence
of multiple water institutions, and the high susceptibility of water and sanitation to climate change
disasters.
Service Provision
For the provision of services, the facilitating factors are the presence of executive orders, laws and
policies highlighting the basic right of the people to safe potable water and sanitation and the public
sector’s mandate to deliver these basic services. The factors that hamper development of WSS are
the limited number of LGU ordinances to support existing laws, problems in the implementation of
septage management, and inadequate information dissemination at the local level particularly on
the disposal of waste water.
Regulation
On regulation, the participants identified the compliance of concerned institutions to the Philippine
National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW) and strict enforcement of the Clean Water Act as
key facilitating factors. However, the regulatory system is hindered by the lack of awareness on tariff
regulations by the National Water Resources Board (NWRB), inadequate incentives for water
districts, presence of political interference, and low management capabilities of service providers
and regulators.
Cross-cutting areas
For the policy and institutional concerns, the facilitating factors are the efforts of the government to
strengthen the WSS sector through the creation of an apex body, this as one of the legislative
agenda in the PDP 2017-2022 supported by the RDPs, the presence of deputized agencies on water
permitting and existence of policies and institutions as well as continuous crafting of ordinances at
the local level. On the other hand, the key issues that need to be addressed are the fragmented
12
structure of institutions governing the WSS sector and the absence of regional counter part of NWRB
which affects project implementation at the sub-national level.
On the area of leadership, the prioritization of the WSS by the current administration is highlighted.
However, this is hindered by the weak political will to support and implement WSS programs due to
traditional politics and limited funding support.
For cultural/ behavioural/ attitudinal, the commitment of service providers in terms of increasing
service connections is stressed by the participants. The well-know Bayanihan spirit of the Filipinos is
also underlined as a behavioural factor that effects good practices in the use and conservation of
water resources. On one hand, the lack of cultural sensitivity to customs and traditions (IPs) along
with the inadequate knowledge on the importance of water sanitation and waste disposal especially
in remote areas resulted to unimproved sanitation and improper maintenance of water and
wastewater facilities.
On capacity, the participants noted the good network and linkages among the stakeholders and the
presence of information education campaigns on the program and plans of the government with
regard to sanitation and provision of potable safe water. The initiatives of the LGUs to facilitate the
delivery of WSS services are also expressed as one of the enabling factors. On the other hand, the
constraints identified by the participants are: the lack of capability of LGUs to conduct IEC activities
on basic sanitation given inadequate funding and limited manpower, and inadequate managerial,
technical and financial capacity of LGUs to manage and provide programs and activities to improve
access to safe water and sanitation.
After the presentation of the group on the regional WSS situationer, Ms. Abarquez briefly discussed
the Visioning workshop to the group. To guide the participants, she presented a short introduction
on the significance of coming up with a vision, this as a picture of the region’s desired future for the
water supply and sanitation sector.
At the end of the workshop, the participants were able to create a proposed vision statement for the
Region as follows:
“Region 2 is at the forefront by year 2040 in providing world-class, universal, affordable,

sustainable, safe, and equitable water supply and sanitation for a healthy and
productive community.”
Workshop 4: Setting the WSS Targets
After a brief presentation on the WSS Development, Concepts and Strategies, Mr. Jusi and Mr.
Tecson briefly introduced the WSS toolkits provided by the consultants for the setting of WSS targets.
Mr. Jusi instructed the participants to use the PSA data especially for the population statistics in
order to make all estimations consistent. For water supply, Mr. Jusi underlined the SDG target that
13
by 2030, everyone should have a universal and equitable access to safe, affordable and clean water
or the presence of only Level 2 and 3 Services. To guide the participants on estimating and
forecasting the investment costs based on their identified PPAs, Ms. Abarquez provided a quick
presentation on the WSS strategies and reiterated the vision of Region 02 for the sector which is to
have a sustainable, safe and equitable access to water supply and sanitation services. She defined
the strategies as the means or general plan of action to achieve the vision. She emphasized that
these should be long-term directed at the attainment of the vision. She then shared the strategies
identified in the PWSSR and PSSR which shall be used as their guide.
Each province was asked to forecast their population and households, project water supply and basic
sanitation access development targets (by HH) by 2022 and 2030 and the corresponding
investments using the WSS toolkits.
The following table shows the summary of the outputs:

After a series of presentations and workshops, each group (by provinces and cities) were asked to
come up with their draft road maps to include results of the past workshops, identification of roles
of the provinces, strategies and their corresponding policies, list of proposed programs and projects
and the investment requirements for the short-term (2022) and long-term (2030) implementation.
See details of the outputs in Annex 3. Workshop Outputs.
Discussion Points:
 Overall, the presentations were commended by the Resource Speakers given their limited
time to prepare for the outputs. The presentations were also observed to be very detailed,
very clear or on-point, very optimistic in terms of identifying PPAs and budget, and the use
of clustering approach (Cagayan).
 Costs of PPAs must be thoroughly checked and reconciled with the identified targets and
investments.
 Pass an executive order institutionalizing the WSS Team or WATSAN Councils among LGUs in
order to gain support and financing.
 Include in the recommendations to fast-track the creation of a Department of Water which
is already pending in Congress.
 Conduct a seminar on various financing modes available to LGUs especially on WSS sector.

Workshop 6: Capacity Awareness Assessment
After the reporting of the draft road maps, the participants identified their needs for capability
building in support to the Regional Master Plan. The outputs were submitted to the Secretariat for
consolidation.
4.0 CLOSING SESSION
4.1 Way Forward
Ms. Abarquez briefly discussed the next steps for the PWSSMP Project. She said that the outputs of
the workshop shall be integrated in the formulation of the PWSSMP. After the completion of the
Master Plan, this shall be initially presented to the Social Development Committee and
Infrastructure Development Committee (IDC) of Region 02 for comments and endorsement to the
Regional Development Council 02. The Second Quarter RDC Meeting is tentatively set on April in the
Province of Batanes.

for all. While this has been pronounced in numerous occasions in different policies, strategies, and
campaigns, access to safe water and sanitation continues to be elusive for some.
The Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP), which will be the product of this
study, is meant to be an action plan with a corresponding investment and financing program to
execute the Philippines Water Supply Sector Roadmap (PWSSR), and the Philippines Sustainable
Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR), and put the targets for water and sanitation into realization.

Workshop 2: Regional WSS Situation on Key Areas
The following are the group’s outputs posted thru metacards in each areas:
FACILITATING FACTORS HINDERING FACTORS

A. PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
The annual allocation of WATSAN is included in the Implementation of national and local policies is poor/
development plans. lacking
WATSAN is identified a priority program/ project of The LGUs are having difficulties in complying with
the provincial and local municipal government stringent requirement to access funds from financing
institutions
DILG and partner agencies provide grants to LGUs Water is sometimes used as a political commodity
for SALINTUBIG projects particularly during elections
Water and sanitation infrastructure are highly
susceptible to climate change disasters
The presence of multiple water institutions needs to be
regulated by one body (e.g., Dept. of Water)
B. SERVICE PROVISION
WS PD 198 – mandates the delivery of safe and Over obstruction of groundwater may gradually lessen
potable water and 24/7 production of ells that will post threat to water supply in
the future
PD 856 Chapter II (sanitation code of the Phils in Limited LGU ordinances to support/ strengthen the
WS) existing laws (sanitation)
PNSDW Problem in disposals of waste (septage management)
Basic right on the access to safe water supply as Lack of information dissemination by the LGUs which
mandated by enacting laws/ ordinances causes improper disposal of wastewater
Challenge SPs to increase service connections to
improve its services
C. REGULATION
Prompt Submission of reports. Lack of WSP’s awareness that NWRB regulates their
tariff
Compliance to PNSDW’s Regulators lack of competence
Strict enforcement of clean water act Bonus Incentive helps DW’s achieve compliance to
water quality
Affordable tariff Political interference
Funding/Sourcing of funds
NWRB lapses
Officers incompetence and neglect of duty
D. POLICY AND INSTITUTIONAL
Creation of an apex body under the PDP/RDP 2017- Fragmented structure of institution governing the WSS
2022 legislative agenda will strengthen the WSS sector hinders the effective implementation of
sector policies/plans
Presence of deputized agency (i.e. NIA, DENR) on Absence of regional counterpart of NWRB on water
water permitting facilitate project implementation permitting will lead to delays in project implementation
at the subnational level
Existence of policies and institutions on WSS help
strengthen the sector
E. LEADERSHIP INCLUDING POLITICS
Serve no master People with authority lacks political will to implement
and support for WSS programs due to traditional politics
Good learning of politicians Limited funding support from agencies/ LGUs other
institutions hamper plan/project implementation
28
Sector is being prioritized by the current

administration
F. CULTURAL/ BEHAVIORAL/ ATTITUDINAL
Service providers are willing to provide service Dole-out mentality of beneficiaries/ recipients is
connections notfinancially/ economically feasible for use
Filipinos have the capacity for the Bayanihan Spirit There is inadequate knowledge on the importance of
and are resourceful in nature (proper conservation water sanitation and proper waste disposal of
of water resources) communities especially in remote areas
Filipinos have the attitude of kanya-kanya, tayo- Proper conservation of water resources
tayo, at sila-sila, lacks cultural sensitivity to customs
and traditions especially with IPs leading to brain
drain, do not properly maintain water and
wastewater facilities
Responsible use of water resources Cultural sensitivity

Observe customs and traditions
Improper maintenance of water facilties
G. CAPACITY
Some LGUs facilitates provisions of WSS services There is little awareness on the need for basic and
improved sanitation
- Some LGUs lack manpower to conduct IEC
Activities on basic sanitation
The Philippines has good network and information Some LGUs do not have some necessaries technical and
drives for IECs managerial capacities
Information drive on the plans and programs of the The Philippines lacks the the right knowledge for IE, esp
government on sanitation and provision of potable for proper waste disposal, lack orientation
and safe water empowerment and financial capacity
IEC
Financial incapacity to avail safe and potable water and
access to basic sanitation
Orientation empowerment
Lacking of knowledge regarding proper wastewater
disposal
29
“Region 2 is at the forefront by year 2040 in providing world-class, universal, affordable,

sustainable, safe, and equitable water supply and sanitation for a healthy and
productive community.”

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Regional Planning Workshop in Region 03: Central Luzon for the Formulation of the Philippine Water
Supply and Sanitation Master Plan was conducted on February 12-14, 2018 at the Royce Hotel and Casino,
Clark Freeport Zone, Mabalacat, Pampanga. The 3-day activity was led by the consultants from EDCOP,
Tractebel, and OIDCI, who were contracted by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).
The Regional Planning Workshop aims to gather the stakeholders from the seven provinces of the Region
(Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, and Zambales), and served as venue to discuss,
interact, and share insights on the water supply and sanitation situation (WSS) of the region. The specific
objectives of the workshop are to: (a) gain deeper understanding of the water and sanitation situation of
the region, (b) provide clear picture of the desired state of the water and sanitation sector and success
indicators, (c) configure strategies and corresponding success indicators contributing towards the
achievement of the overall sector vision, (d) identify key programs for each strategies, (e) identify key
projects and initiatives for each program, (f) gain knowledge and competencies in the strategic and
business planning process.

series of workshops.
2. OPENING SESSION
The first session of the PWSSMP Regional Planning Workshop started at 9:30am. Preliminaries
included the invocation and singing of the Philippine National Anthem.
2.1 Welcome Remarks by NEDA Assistant Regional Director Agustin C. Mendoza

NEDA Assistant Regional Director Agustin C. Mendoza welcomed and thanked the participants for
their attendance to the three-day regional planning workshop. He was very glad that the participants
responded to the workshop invitation and are involved in the development of the water supply and
sanitation sector for the region. In his message, he said that NEDA has already launched the Ambisyon
Natin 2040, the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 and the Central Luzon Regional Development
Plan 2017-2022. These shall set the direction of stakeholders in their development endeavours for the
next six years. In line with this, he also stressed the country’s commitment and objective to localize
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030, specifically Goal number 6, which aims to provide
universal water and sanitation facilities. He expressed his enthusiasm that the government is now
embarking on the creation of a Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan along with the efforts to
localize national strategies into the specific needs of the Region. In ending, he stressed the importance
of WSS in the lives of the fellow citizens. The 3-day activity shall then serve as an opportunity to share
their experiences and give inputs in planning for the WSS sector. He enjoined the active participation
of everyone on the said event.

After the photo opportunity of the group with NEDA Assistant Regional Director Agustin C. Mendoza
and acknowledgement of participants by group, Mr. Theo Demaisip, the Public Participation Specialist
of the team initiated an ice breaker activity on focusing on types of planners.
 Participants drew a rectangular box

 Participants are asked to answer the following questions:
o When you decide are you more of an observing or doing person?
o When you decide are you more of a feeling or thinking person?
o Identify your quadrant using the image:

o Participants are grouped according to their quadrants, and prepared three to five
characteristics that they have in common with one another. These characteristics
answer what kind of a planner am I? and What kind of planners are my colleagues?
o The following defines the types of planner per quadrant.
 Quadrant 1: Feeling and Doing, Nurturer
 The driving force in an organization for creating a sense of team
 Focuses on collaboration and teamwork
 Process-oriented
 Quadrant 2: Feeling and Observing, Visionary
 Creative thinkers, stimulates out of the box thinking
 Invites us to look at the big picture and see what is possible in the
future
 Encourages us to break old patterns and habits
 Quadrant 3: Thinking and Observing, Critical Thinker
 Introspective, rational, and inquisitive
 Tough-minded critics and analysts
 Tests reality through a commitment to data-based problem solving
 Quadrant 4: Thinking and Doing, Action-Oriented
 Makes things happen
 Organizes work towards the completion of a task
 Takes charge, initiatives, and leads by doing
After the activity, Mr. Theo Demaisip led the expectations setting for the three-day activity through
the presentation of two questions:
 What do you expect to accomplish at the end of the 3-day planning workshop?
(EXPECTATIONS)
 What ground rules should we observe during the workshop? (CONTRIBUTION)
Each group (by province) wrote their answers in meta cards and presented their answers afterwards.
Expectations The participants expect to gain a deeper understanding about the current state
of water and sanitation in the region and be able to formulate a Master Plan to
properly address these subjects. The participants also expect to gain additional
knowledge and skills in formulating a WSS plan. Lastly, the participants expect to
resolve issues on WSS in the region.
Contribution The participants have committed to actively cooperate, participate, and share
knowledge and experiences on WSS in the region. More importantly, the
participants committed to provide data and information.

3. PRESENTATIONS
3.1 Overview of the NEDA’s Formulation of the Philippine WSS Master Plan (PWSSMP)
Project and the Regional Master Plan Workshop
Ms. Evelyn Orda, Institutional Specialist, presented the government’s commitment to provide safe,
clean water and sanitation services for all through the formulation of the PWSSMP. This effort is also
underlined in the Philippine/Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 and the Clean Water Act of 2004
as well as the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The PWSSMP is an action plan with corresponding
investment and financing programs to execute all water supply and sanitation initiatives (i.e.,
Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap (PWSSR), and the Philippine Sanitation Sector Roadmap
(PSSR), and put targets for water supply and sanitation into realization. She emphasized the country’s
medium-term target of increasing access to safe water supply to 95.16% and basic sanitation to
97.46% (PDP 2017-2022), as well as the long-term target of realizing universal and equitable access to
safe and affordable drinking water and adequate and equitable sanitation (SDG 2030).
The PWSSMP project will be implemented in 12-months, starting September 2017, and will conduct
various activities such as organization and planning, sector assessment through the conduct of
nationwide regional workshops, formulation of the master plan and knowledge, management,
information, dissemination and training. The project deliverables include one National Master Plan
and 16 Regional Road Maps and corresponding investment programs. These roadmaps shall contain
the policy framework, reform programs, strategies and operational action plans along with the
investment and financing schemes of the identified short to long-term projects, programs and
activities. She also informed the participants of the project schedule wherein the Master Plan is
already expected to be completed on July and launched by August 2018.
3.2 Definition of Basic Water Supply and Sanitation Terms

To level off, Engr. Rene Capiz, Water Supply Specialist, presented some basic terms used in water and
sanitation. Among the important terms defined are the levels of service in water systems: Level 1
includes all point sources in water system; Level 2 are the communal faucet system or stand post;
Level 3 are the waterworks system. On sanitation, it is defined as the hygienic means of promoting
health through prevention of human contact with the hazards of wastes. Some of the misunderstood
terms are also defined such as the following: ‘safely managed’ meaning improved facilities which are
not shared with other households and where excreta are safely disposed in situ or transported and
treated off-site; ‘basic sanitation’ referred to as facilities which are not shared with other households
and is not safely managed; and, ‘limited’ referring to facilities shared between two or more
households and is safely managed.
Discussion:
1. Clarification on design of Septic Tanks, specifically on the use of the old design of septic tank
for households in provincial regions. Consultant’s Response: Sealed septic tanks are the
recommended design for households in Metro Manila. Unsealed septic tanks are considered
unsafe.
Page 4 of 50
2. Clarification on septic tank design for hospital wastes. Septic tanks should be sealed, and
should observe proper distance from water source.
3.3 Introduction to the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Sector

Ms. Evelyn Orda, Institutional Specialist, presented the WSS sector performance of the country:
Water Supply
Based from the official statistics of PSA, the current water supply coverage in the country is 87.2%;
while the data presented by the World Health Organization (WHO) Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP)
is 91.8% access. More than 50% of the households have no piped water onto premises (Level 3). Also,
about 13 million people or 12.8% of the population do not have access to safe water. As of December
2015, 322 municipalities continue to be “waterless.” Across the country, there were 9 regions with
more than 50 percent of its population having a Level 1 access only.
On the brighter side, the water districts and water concessions in Metro Manila contribute to 75% of
the population with Level 3 access. While 3 million people are served by DILG’s Salintubig program.
Sanitation
Based from the PSA data, the country’s basic access to sanitation is 93.73%. Around 74% of the
households were connected to on-site or off-site treatment. However, about 4.3 million still defecate
in the open. Across regions, the highest improved access is registered in Region 4A (88%), NCR (85%)
and Region 3 (82%). Likewise, the highest open defecation rate is registered in ARMM (18.3%), Region
5 (11.9%) and Region 7 (8.5%) Meanwhile, Region 02’s improved sanitation is pegged at 52.20% and
open defecation rate at 0.27%, the latter as the lowest in the country.
The slow development in WSS is due to poor governance and lack of technical/managerial capacities
in many WSPs, limited access to finance, weak regulation, fragmented sector policy development and
planning.
On the impacts of sanitation in the Philippines, the economic impact on water resources accounted
about 23% of the total cost. The economic cost is equivalent to about 1.5% of the GDP or per capita
losses of US$ 16.8 per year. Some of the water resource issues identified are insufficient volume, water
quality, sustainability or improper management of resources, and resiliency to climate change and
extreme events.
Given these situations and issues, the following challenges in the sector were discussed:
 On regulatory challenges, among the concerns include the absence of national agency
responsible for water supply and sanitation, fragmented water sector regulatory environment
following different regulatory models, absence of regulatory stick to drive improvement of
water systems, and lack of regulatory oversight for joint venture projects by water districts
(WDs).
Page 5 of 50
 On governance challenges, there are no standard definition and comprehensive strategy to

 On financing, inaccessibility of funds or financing among small water utilities, inadequate
 On management level, majority of the LGUs that run water utilities are not operated as
business enterprises. Also, they do not have the adequate necessary technical and managerial
expertise. Among WDs, inadequate technical capacity on sewerage and septage management
was noted.
 On political challenges, conflicts between water districts and LGUs and presence of political
influences were observed. There is also a need to re-visit or amend laws including the lenient
enforcement of laws.
Discussion:
1. The WD data are well presented; however there is a need to segregate data of WDs with
those water utilities that have entered into an agreement with private providers. They
should be categorized as Private WSPs. NWRB should be present in this workshop, since they
are the government body that issues water permits. Consultant’s comment: NWRB is
present in the national workshops, since there are no NWRB regional offices.
2. The geographic characteristics of areas contribute to low water coverage, there is a need to
emphasize the importance of tree planting in order to sustain water supply in an area.
3. There is a need to revisit NEDA JV guidelines and PPP law.
4. What is the planning horizon and target? Consultant’s response: The planning horizon is
until 2022. However, it should be noted that the PDP did not state whether the target aims
for safe water that is categorized as Level 2 or 3.
5. We should also prioritize sanitation in the planning activity. The challenge is the lack of
ordinance from LGUs. The ordinance will ensure the implementation of sanitation services.
For example, the WD submitted a Septage plan in 2011; however, the province still have not
issued a septage ordinance until now. The problem is always political will.
Sanitation
Engr. Philip Diokno, Sanitation Specialist, gave a presentation on sanitation concepts, approaches,
and strategies. The presentation explained the concepts and definitions associated in sanitation
particularly on the difference of septage and sewerage. Some of the other terms defined included
wastewater and fecal sludge management, sewerage system and septage management. Likewise,
he discussed several sanitation interventions such as the use of engineering solutions, simple
technologies and adoption of personal hygiene practices. He further elaborated the F-diagram
transmission routes where people can get water-borne diseases due to fecal oral transmission. He
underlined that everyone shall have to comply with the SDG targets by 2030 and shared the three
main ways listed to meet the criteria for having a safely-managed sanitation service: (a) people
should use improved sanitation facilities which are not shared with other households and the
excreta produced should either be treated and disposed of in situ; (b) fecal wastes should be
stored temporarily, emptied and transported to treatment off-site or; (c) transported through a
sewer with wastewater then treated off-site.

Discussion Points:
 Comment/question: Design of septic tanks

o There are instances when, by ordinance, septic tanks are required (which helps to
serve as basis for determining the capacity). This helps for future planning, on the
basis of properly monitored projects and information gathered/provided.
 Is there a study? Baliwag experience. Clustering benefits vis-à-vis operating costs, eg costs of
desludge, traffic impact, gasoline, etc.
o Not a lot of studies, yet. In order to address issues of some LGUs that may be
hesitant to put up septage management facilities
 Follow-up: site identification and other considerations
 Study topography, etc.
 Follow-up comment, re: Clustering (Baliwag)
 Win-win: on the basis of their existing facility (eg water district),
scaling up operations reduces hassles and additional costs (as a
result of existing expertise, capital, and resources)
 Follow-up question: Is Baliwag open to clustering?
 Yes
 Follow-up question: Study tour?
 Possible.
 If there is a provincial ordinance, then will that suffice?
o Board member-response: the existence of a provincial ordinance is sufficient and
should apply to the municipalities
 Follow-up: For verification, depending on the coverage defined in the
Ordinance
Water Supply
Engr. Rene Capiz, Water Supply Specialist, presented water supply development concepts,
approaches, and strategies. The presentation explained suitability of service for the three levels
of water service, levels 1, 2, and 3; and hierarchy of water resources and corresponding
treatments, including springs, wells, river/dam, and seawater/desalination. Furthermore, he
explained options for water supply development for Levels 1, 2, and 3 and the corresponding
planning considerations.
The highlight of the presentation included the latest technologies in water supply development
such as: ram pump, village pump, solar-powered pumps, and desalination plants. Best practices
were also discussed in the presentation specifically for river basin approach, bulk water supply,
management contract, ring fencing, performance contracting, water demand management,
rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, and twinning.
Discussion Points:
 Comment: Consider the development of meteoric water sources (ie rainwater harvesting);
not all water districts are operating consistently (not given sufficient time to recharge); lack
of overarching framework, necessary institutional and regulatory reforms.
 Question: In light of acid rain, what are the safety prospects of rainwater harvesting?
Page 7 of 50
o Insufficient information, presently. However, that said, water is sourced from rivers
(and some of the water comes from rain). Perhaps, it is worth investigating further.
 Follow-up suggestion/comment: seasonal pattern of rainwater, consider the
seasons when the rainfall tends to have more concentration of chemical
impurities.
 Comment: Consider strategies to recharge groundwater. Integrate efforts to charge
groundwater, through integrated development and purposeful use of “cesspits” (including
long-term effect on stability of new developments, because of degradation of capacity of the
ground to bear the development).
o Suggestions for different strategies to charge groundwater are worth considering.
o Regulations and enforcement are relevant strategies.
 Comment: Investment in a water laboratory. There are benefits (eg revenue) to be derived
in such an investment.
 Suggestion: Invest in non-operational water districts, as initial point of entry.
 Question: Why invest in Level 1 to Level 2, can you bypass Level 2 and move directly to Level
3?
o There are resource limitations and technical considerations, eg not all areas can be
serviced by Level 3.
3.5 Identifying Key Programs and Projects

Mr. Demaisip presented the template to be used in identifying the ongoing and proposed programs
and projects to be completed by each province.
As an example, the participants were provided slides on completed sanitation projects in the
Philippines. Examples of these are the domestic wastewater and septage treatment plant in five
municipalities in the Sarangani province. The primary objective of the project is to protect the
Sarangani Bay. This was implemented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) and funded through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Other completed septage
treatment plants were built in Caloocan City, Makati, Dumaguete City and Bulacan. In Negros Oriental,
a domestic effluent treatment plant was also established.
The participants were provided the template and started to work on their respective programs and
projects.
3.6 Investment Program (LWUA Finance Strategies, and Unified Financing Framework)
Ms. Evelyn Orda presented the various septage/ sanitation pricing strategies for Water Districts. These
strategies are aligned to various laws, resolutions, Departmental programs such as PD 198, LOI 700,
the DPWH National Sewerage and Septage Management Program and UN Resolution 64 and 292.
She discussed various pricing strategies such as the WD concessionaires, non-WD concessionaires,
defined the flat fee estimation of the affordability of water through proxy indicators and the necessary
adjustment cycles for water districts. The safeguards for this pricing strategies are ring fencing of
sanitation operations from water supply operations, performance review and commitments including
the review of LWUA for increasing water rates, compliance targets, capped sanitation fee, and LGU
ordinances.
Unified Financing Framework
Page 8 of 50
Ms Evelyn Orda presented some slides explaining the unified financing framework. There are
significant gaps in service coverage and quality despite national strategies in place to increase water
supply and sanitation coverage. Ms. Orda presented the constraints including the fragmented
institutional set-up and weak support agencies; and insufficient funding to reach the national targets.
The recognition of these challenges led to the preparation of a unified financing policy coupled with
regulation and institutional measures.
The program is a comprehensive effort to achieve the water and sanitation sector goals. It was
explained that large quantities of grants will rive action by numerous stakeholders, who will support
the program. Furthermore, the LWUA has committed to support the reforms since the program’s
objectives in consistent with its mission and financial viability. Lastly, the corresponding
implementation plan will operationalize the unified financing framework.

4.3 Workshop 3: Visioning Activity

Mr. Demaisip, Community Participation Specialist, facilitated a brief visioning exercise. The
participants listened to the song “What a Wonderful World.” Afterwards, the following questions were
inquired:
 What does the WSS sector in Region 3 look like in 2030?
Page 12 of 50
 What changes in people’s circumstances have taken place?

 What are our dreams, aspirations, and hopes for the WSS sector?
 What do you concretely see? What is happening?
The instructions for the activity were:
 Individually, list down three concrete elements (Pink meta card)

 As a province / HUC, come up with five common elements
 Write each common element in one meta card (Green meta card)
Region as follows:
“A water supply and sanitation sector that is comprised of strongly committed,

responsible, and collaborative stakeholders supported with adequate and competent
human resource, and sufficient financial resources, through the efficient and effective
implementation of WSS policies, management systems, and environmentally-sound
technologies – in order to provide safe, adequate, accessible, and affordable water and
sanitation services for a region that is healthy and productive.”
4.4 Workshop 4: Setting the WSS Targets

After a brief presentation on the WSS Development, Concepts and Strategies, Engr. Rene Capiz, Water
Supply Specialist, and Engr. Philip Diokno, Sanitation Specialist introduced the WSS toolkits developed
by the consultants for the setting of WSS targets.
The participants were instructed to use the PSA data especially for the population statistics in order
to make all estimations consistent. For water supply, Engr. Capiz underlined the SDG target that by
2022, the target for water supply coverage is 97%; while for 2030, there should be universal access to
safe, affordable and clean water or the presence of only Level 2 and 3 services.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Regional Workshop of Region 4A for the Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply
and Sanitation Master Plan took place from 28 February to 1 March 2018 at the Splash
Oasis Hotel in Los Baños, Laguna. The Engineering and Development Corporation of the
Philippines (EDCOP), Tractebel Inc., and Orient Integrated Development Consultants
(OIDCI) facilitated the three-day workshop.
There are three parts to the regional workshop’s main objectives: (a) develop a more
comprehensive picture of water and sanitation situation of Region 4A, (b) produce the
regional water and sanitation vision, and, (c) identify strategies, key programs, and
projects for short, medium, and long terms.
There was a total of 55 participants representing multiple regional government agencies,

provincial local government units (LGUs), water utilities, and academe who participated in
the workshop:
1. Regional Offices
1. Department of Health, Region 4A
2. Philippine Information Agency, Region 4A
3. Department of Public Works and Highways, Region 4A

Ms. Gina Gacudan, the Assistant Regional Director, delivered the opening remarks
followed by RDC Co-Chairperson and SCID Chair Engineer Ladislao Andal
welcomed the participants. The regional WSS sanitation was put together by
NEDA RO and the provincial government offices. Their presentations captured the
level of access to safe water and sanitation services. The group discussion that
followed gave context to their numbers. Some of the key issues that were
highlighted are the following: lack of financial mechanism to establish sewerage
treatment plant and lack of initiative to impose tariff on sanitation facility operation
and maintenance, conflicting national and regulatory policies, numerous political
issues, and lack of dedicated government agency that address all water and waste
water concerns.
Technical input was provided by the Consultants which helped the participants set
their WSS targets at the provincial level and develop their WSS roadmap. By the
last day of the workshop, the participants have completed their WSS roadmaps
together with investment plans. These targets and plans were reported in the
plenary and commented by the Consultants and the rest of the participants.

1.0 Opening Ceremony
The program started with a prayer followed by the National Anthem.
1.1 Opening Remarks

Ms Gina Gacudan - Assistant Regional Director Reg 4A
ARD Gacudan welcomed the participants and was pleased that many of them arrived
safely. She began with the recognition that the water project is long overdue and that there
is no single agency that is responsible for water. A different government agency is in-
charge of water depending on how water is used. If it is agricultural water, then NIA is
responsible. DENR is in-charge of making sure that the rivers are clean. If it is about
supplying domestic water supply, the responsibility goes to the water districts or to the
local government put its own.
People cannot be productive if they spend four hours a day fetching water. But because
of the cost, water system is put up only in selected areas. No one agency is in-charge of
putting up water supply. Provincial governments are not in-charge of putting up water
supply.
ARD Gacudan emphasized to the participants that the region needs this WSS plan; that
they know their needs but they also need to know who are responsible to do what. In urban
areas, there are faucets in the house but water supply is unreliable. The first part of the
workshop is about awareness of the situation before changes can be made. There are
different issues in the urban and rural areas that we need to consider. As regards
sanitation, cities need to put up their sewerage systems. Septic tanks are not monitored.
They overflow and contaminate water. People in the cities do not drink water from the
faucets because they are afraid that water is contaminated.
The challenge is to ensure that all households have access to safe water and how this will
be implemented.
The participants were encouraged to their best. She pointed out that the results of
workshop will be part of the plan and that consultants only put together the results of the
planning exercise. She added that this a group plan and that this has to be a responsive
plan. It is now in the hands of the participants to address the region’s WSS problems.
She wished the participants a very productive workshop.
1.2 Welcome Remarks

Engr. Ladislao Andal - RDC Co-Chairperson and SCID Chair
Engr. Andal expressed that he was very happy that the first regional planning workshop
on WSS is now happening. As countries could go to war because of lack of water, Engr.
Andal appealed to the participants to think about WSS for the next generation. There is a
need to think about how to harness water for our countrymen and how to store them.
There is a wide area to catch rainwater.
6
All aspects of development need water and yet many in the country do not have access
to safe water. A number of Filipino families spend large portion of their income on drinking
water. Some will find this affordable but it will be hard for minimum wage earners. Safe
drinking water has to be available to everyone. If water is made affordable for industrial
plants located in industrial parks, the same affordability should be made for the minimum
wage earners. In terms of sanitation, Philippines is third world just by looking at the
condition of our toilets.
Engr. Andal enjoined the participants to think about social transformation and engineering
to protect our water sources and let water be more available and affordable and to think
about how water affects all spectrum of our development. No society will exist without
water hence, we must exert all effort to secure our water. With the increase of Region 4’s
population to as much as half a million each year, there would be an increasing demand
of water as well as the number of those who cannot afford to pay for water.
He ended his remarks by his challenge to combine all input of participants for the WSS
infrastructure development of CALABARZON.
1.3 Introduction of Participants

Mr. Theo Demaisip - Participation Specialist
The session started with an individual activity to assess what they are like as a planner –
a nurturer, visionary, action-oriented or critical thinker. Each participant was asked to
introduce his/herself depending on which category he/she belonged.
1.4 Expectation Check

Mr. Theo Demaisip - Participation Specialist
The participants were asked to answer these two questions: (1) What do you expect to
achieve at the end of the 3 day planning workshop? (2) How can I contribute to the success
of this planning workshop?
After the expectation check, Mr. Demaisip explained the workshop flow, objectives and
workshop design. He stressed that this is a hands-on process so they will gain knowledge
in planning. Team norms and hosting tasks ended the session.

2.1 Session 1a: Overview of the Formulation of the Philippine WSS Master Plan
Project (PWSSMP)
Ms. Pauline Palacio – Project Coordinator
Ms. Palacio started by explaining that the Philippine WSS Master Plan (PWSSMP) will
include not only the strategies but also the corresponding investment plan. She presented
to the participants a brief overview of the project covering the objectives and deliverables
grounded on the targets set out in the country’s development plans and the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG). She underscored that provincial consultations are being
conducted to develop the strategies and plans and mentioned that sanitation receives less
attention before but will be given equal attention in this workshop.
2.2 Session 1b.1 Definition of Basic WSS Terms

Engr. Rene Capiz – Water Supply Specialist
It is important that all participants come to a shared understanding of the basic terms and
concepts used in water supply and sanitation. Engr. Capiz explained these terms and
concepts including the comparison of levels of service in water supply and the JMP water
ladder.
Water sources and how they are developed are also discussed - from spring development
which is the cheapest to seawater desalination which is the most expensive technology to
provide safe drinking water. He stressed that the focus is on maximizing use of fresh water.
Different types of water treatment through chlorination, water treatment in a plant, and
reverse osmosis were explained.
Basic understanding of sanitation started with the definition of sanitation and how water
related diseases are transmitted. Open defecation was given emphasis and was
discouraged. SDG definitions on sanitation were also shared. Terms such as safely
managed, basic sanitation, limited sanitation, and unimproved were differentiated. Region
4A has a small number of unimproved toilets and almost no open defecation. Engr. Capiz
said that there could still be open defecation in far flung mountains in Quezon province.
In terms of wastewater management and treatment, Engr. Capiz explained how the design
of a septic tank and how it works. Management of fecal sludge and septage management
enlightened the participants why tese sanitation activities are important. The session
ended with an explanation of a sewerage system which will be important for HUCs like
Lucena.

2.3 Session 1b.2 Introduction to the Philippine WSS Sector

Ms. Evelyn Orda – Institutional Specialist
To provide a context of the national WSS situation,

Ms. Orda underscored the importance of
understanding the problems of the sector before
these problems could be addressed. Her topic also
covered how the problems were dealt with in the
past and what happened after.
These problems and challenges are important to
know considering that the country still has still 12.4
m people with no access to safe water despite
SalinTubig’s success in delivering water to 3m
people. ARMM has the biggest number of people
without safe access. 332 municipalities continue to
be waterless. As regards sanitation, though the Evelyn Orda on the national WSS situation
numbers on basic sanitation is high, it is good to
remember that this is not improved sanitation. Planning is also difficult as there are
multiple plan requirements. It does not help that in some areas, there is conflict
between the LGUs and the WDs. There is also poor implementation of the
regulation on septic tanks and wastewater disposal.
The reasons why universal access is hampered are summarized under the
following challenges: resource, regulatory, governance and institutional, financing,
management and political.
2.4 Session 1c.1 Regional WSS Situation

(Part 1: Presentation of NEDA RO and Provinces)
2.4.1 CALABARZON WSS SITUATION

For report: Refer to Annex 2
Discussion:
• If this is a masterplan for WSS, there are data gaps that are very important like
data on actual supply of water both for ground water and surface water supply.
Data presented is purely on water service connection. It does not mean that the
increase in water service connection is an indicator that the supply performed
better. In Cavite, they are doing an assessment of their groundwater and surface
water supply because their supply of water has started declining by 1.5 meters
10
per year since 1982 and they are monitoring it till now.
• Water quality in Cavite is also an issue. Water is contaminated by fecal coliform

– 3.5 x 106 Contamination is limiting supply of fresh water. In addition, there is
contamination due to nitrates and heavy metals which affect health.
• LGUs are not deputized by NWRB to issue well permitting. Only business permits
are controlled by LGUs. 96% of the groundwater supply of Cavite has been
extracted. The province is characterized by Type 1 climate and because of
climate change their water is decreasing further.
• The WSS issues raised in 2011 are the same issues that surfaced in 2017. NEDA
RO did not receive latest data from provinces. HUCs are encouraged to make
similar studies on water quality similar to the study of CAVSU.
• The Mandamus on septage required concerned LGUs to submit data. Related to
this is the NEDA project on Manila Bay. Data will be updated as this will be
required by the project. Data from CAVSU will certainly be useful.
• One of the reasons why rivers are contaminated with coliform is the very limited
number of STPs. In addition, wrong design of septic tanks and improper behavior
of people also contribute to contamination of drinking water.
• Increasing cost of water can also be attributed to cost of source development like
topography and depth of water.
• There is a report of salt water intrusion in Naic, Cavite. Already, Districts 1-6
depend on supply of water from Lamesa Dam.
• The DA master planning for 2017-2022 started at the provincial level. But
because the PWSSMP project is only for a year and given the resources and the
time available to the project, the focus is the region. This is a first step of a
process. Using the roadmap that the provinces will produce in this workshop, the
provinces can do detailed planning to come up with their masterplan.
• We need data on over extraction of groundwater. Over extraction could be
reduced if we recharge our groundwater. Cavite has a regular land use meeting
and there is a study on groundwater abstraction.
• There is conflict between NWRB and LGU. NWRB does not want to give permit
to DILG’s Salintubig project and was informed that the water is already
appropriated. It did not give permit to Dasmariñas Water District to drill new wells
as well. NWRB has no study on groundwater. What is their basis in giving permits
to subdivisions to operate wells or not giving permits? Equitability is now a big
question. There are illegal wells.
11
• The Governor of Cavite allocated Php 2m to conduct water study. Maps are
available and can share the data the province has. There is also a study funded
by DENR. Data can also be requested from the BWSM of DA.
• There is also a report from NIA that irrigated lands have been drastically reduced
because of land conversion.
2.4.2 Cavite Province
• For report: Refer to Annex 2

Discussion
• There is an office called Integrated Coastal Management directly under the Office of the
Governor.
• Cavite is industrial and without water for these industries, they will fall. The League of
Mayors support the water program of the province. There is a Water Summit where
water issues are discussed and information on water is disseminated.
• The province will supply bulk water. The private sector to buy water from the province.
There is conflict with the private investor who want to corner bulk water.
• The province is exposed to hazards like flooding, landslides, ground shaking. The
province has mapped all these hazards. Flooding affects irrigation system. Landslide
occurs along rivers. Land collapse is also noted due to land conversion. Water districts
have to dig deeper wells - from 400 to 500 feet before to 1,000 feet today. Disasters
lead to minor damages of water system. However, electricity loss is more a problem.
They buy generators every year. There are 115 pumping wells in Dasmariñas alone.
2.4.3 Laguna Province

Discussion
• There is flooding along Laguna Lake. These areas are already declared a permanent
no build zone. But informal settlers live in these flooded areas. Flood control
management is already proposed.
• Laguna Lake is polluted by industries and households. Industrial pollution can be

controlled but there is also a need to control household waste. LGUs are in-charge of
the pollution control and they have initiatives.
• In the region, 50% of the LGUs have already approved septage ordinance. The rest of
the LGUs are still deliberating the ordinance. DILG ordered LGUs to come up with
septage ordinance. A model ordinance is available from DILG.
12
2.4.4 Batangas Province

Discussion
• Piggery waste is a major issue in Batangas Province. Its rivers like Calumpang, San
Juan and Taal Lake are polluted. Quarterly monitoring is being conducted by DENR.
There is a need to regulate piggery waste.
• Effluent monitoring by DENR is tied up with discharge permit. If industries and piggeries
do not have discharge permits, DENR cannot perform its effluent monitoring. If piggeries
and industries pass the effluent monitoring based on the standards of the environmental
code, discharge permits are issued. LGUs only issue business permits.
2.4.5 Rizal Province

Discussion
• The province created a drinking water monitoring committee which meets every month.
This is attended by all water service providers. They report on the results of the water
testing conducted monthly.
• Manila Water will get water from Manila Bay to distribute to Rizal. Service connections
will depend on the people which water service provider they prefer.
• All water districts decided to set up STPs in the province.

• Malabanan desludger is not accredited by DOH in Reg 4. They need an environmental
sanitation clearance (ESC) but it has no application.
2.4.6 Quezon Province
Discussion
No comments from the group.

2.5 Session 1c.1 Regional WSS Situation (Part 2: Facilitating and Hindering Factors)
Evelyn Orda - Institutional Specialist
A brief input was made by Ms. Orda to highlight the challenges of the WSS sector which
may help the groups in identifying their own WSS regional issues. Back in 1973, PD198
was created to establish LWUA and water districts all over the country but it is also
optional. To this day, there are 515 operational water districts. The MWSS concession in
1997 improved service in MM was greatly improved. DILG LGU led water utilities and their
project. Still 12 m people do not have access to safe and potable water and there are still
waterless municipalities. In SEA, the Philippines is number six in terms of access.
Reliability and water quality remain to be a challenge.
According to her, there are three key players in the sector namely: water utilities, planning
and development, and regulators. Even to this day, there is an underdeveloped segment
of the sector and they are mostly the community-based water service providers. It could
happen that population density is less or there is no water source. Small water utilities like
them cannot raise enough funds for their operation and maintenance. There are
developing water utilities and they are mostly LGU led. Many of these LGU managed water
utilities are not run like a business but like social services. Water is also politicized.
Operation of water utility is not free from interference of the mayor. If mayors do not want
a water district, they cannot be forced to do so. Even in the local government code, there
is no sanction if mayors are not providing safe water to their constituents. When water
districts became GOCC after a Supreme Court ruling, they also have to comply with the
procurement law.
The government encourages PPP but the private sector approach only the developed
water utilities. JV between the private sector and water districts are happening. But JV
does not have the benefit of an independent review. There is no transaction advisor that
will review the proposal for JV. The guidelines currently in use is the NEDA JV Guidelines
not specific for water utilities. It will not require the review of another body if amount is
below the threshold. There is no one to review whether the JV is to the best interest of the
water district and the consumers.
14
2.6 Workshop: Assessment of Facilitating and Hindering Factors to Improving

Access
Mr. Theo Demaisip – Participation Specialist
After the input from Ms. Orda, Mr. Demaisip

asked the participants to identify key issues on
WSS at the regional level. The participants
were divided into the following groups:
• Group 1: Planning and Development

(Orange)
• Allocation of resources, financing and

funding mechanisms, priority for development,
cost recovery mechanism, policies at the
national and local level, set standards.
• Group 2: Service Provision (Purple)

• Water and sanitation service providers
Participants discussing key issues • Group 3: Regulation (Pink)

• Monitoring and evaluation of compliance
standards, review and approval of tariff proposals, and implementation
of sanctions and incentives.
• GUIDE QUESTIONS:
Q1: What are the key issues pertaining to: (1) service provision, (2) planning and
development, and (3) regulation?
Q2: What are the reasons that hinder the WSS sector? (Hindering)
Q3: What factors/elements help address these issues? (Mitigating)
Cross cutting themes were also added to the discussion:
• Policy and institutional: policy – laws, ordinances, guidelines, and

regulations; institutional – agencies, systems, procedures, and
coordination structures like TWG, WATSAN, roles and responsibilities.
• Leadership (including politics)

• Behavioral: including Cultural /attitudinal
• Capacity: awareness / knowledge, skills, human resources
• Others
15
Day 2
The morning started with a recap of Day 1. A participant also shared his insights from
yesterday’s discussion.
Reporting on Facilitating and Limiting Factors
2.6.1 Regulation Group
REGULATION :
ISSUE NO. 1:
Lack of Financial Mechanism to establish Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and lack of
Initiative to impose Tariff on Sanitation Facility Operation and Maintenance.
16
Issue No. 2: LGU Lack drive to enforce Law
17
Issue No. 3: Conflicting National and Regulatory Policies
18
Discussion
• The local government code does not penalize local governments who do not deliver on
water supply and sanitation. The DILG can step in and use other laws that may be
relevant.
• Understanding the following terms: Republic Act like RA 9275 contains a section on
the violation of laws. This RA was the basis of a lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court. An
Executive Order is issued by the President while a Department Administrative Order
is issued by government departments. The EO and DAO can be amended by sitting
Presidents. A Mandamus is a court decision issued by the Supreme Court.
• In violation of RA 9275, Atty. Oposa, a private individual filed a lawsuit in the Supreme
court on behalf of the future generation. LGUs were directed to comply with the
requirements of the solid waste management act.
• We can also use the SGLG to include the provision of safe drinking water and sanitation.
There will be restrictions imposed on local governments if they do not comply with the
SGLG.
• There is no drive and political will because leaders do not have accountability. There is
also no accountability mechanism. Without drive, there is no resource allocation.
• Ignorance means do not know; change ignorance to Ignoring of policies.
19
2.6.2 Planning and Development
20
Discussion
• The Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) of the DA conducts research and

disseminates the studies.
• An Executive Order on WSS can be issued.

• Data can be collected but there is no central repository of collected data so it can be
shared with others. At the national level, there is no national agency to collect WSS data.
• Collecting data also requires technical expertise. The same is true for people who are
involved in planning. Not everyone has the technical expertise and knowledge that will
inform the plan. Scientific data is very important in planning. LGUs need people with
technical expertise and equipment to lead gathering scientific data.
• A Task Force composed of agencies/people with different expertise can be organized

as local teams. They can be composed of CENRO/PENRO, academe etc.
• In Iloilo, the Office of the Governor organized water and sanitation office. Its initial
mandate was to dispense money to municipalities. Later on, it evolved after recognizing
the need of municipalities to develop a proposal. So the provincial government can
provide technical and financial assistance. We can data management as one of their
functions.
• The practice in Carmona is to cluster departments with environmental functions and

choose one to lead the cluster. This committee crosses over to other committees to
consult and make recommendations to the Mayor.
• LGUs in the upstream have planned developments affecting the development of low
lying municipalities.
• In Cavite, private desludgers bought land for a STP. But the barangay and the
municipality did not want to issue them the clearance. Not in my backyard (NIMB) can
apply in this case. In this case DILG can play a mediation role. DILG does not want to
impose but can enjoin the LGUs to establish their STPS. Draft of Septage Ordinance is
posted in their website. DILG can sue the local government for inaction.
• Solid waste and wastewater are different. Waste water treatment plant should not smell.
• The province of Rizal prioritizes water safety. There are projects that address the
protection of surface water.
• There is always a change in leadership. And the development agenda also change
including the discontinuation of good projects.
• Environmental charge used to be included in real property but politicians did not like
additional taxes.

___________________________________________________
3.1 Session 2. Development Framework for the Country and Socio-Economic

Outlook of the Region
Ms. Theresa Jane Cajarte – OIC Chief Economic Development Specialist of the
Planning and Policy Formulation Division
NEDA conducted a survey to know the following: what kind of life do Filipinos want, to
engage more Filipinos in planning, and to know the aspirations of most Filipinos. Inclusive
development cannot be achieved in 6 years and this is meant to guide development
planning. For themselves, Filipinos aspire for a simple and comfortable life which is
translated to ownership of a single detached house and a car, and to have enough money
for day to day needs and emergencies. This highlights our aspiration for mobility. What
the people want is to earn enough, do occasional travel, spend time with family and
friends. Filipinos want their children to be college educated and to own business.
Filipinos aspire for a society where there are no poor, to have a fair and just society, and
living in resilient communities.
How to achieve the vision is outlined in the Medium-Term Development Plan, the
Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022. This builds on the gains of the previous plan and
the regional development plan of Region 4A. Its vision: A region of vibrant economic
diversity and vitality with progressive, well-planned town clusters inhabited by God fearing
people enjoying globally competitive, balanced and resilient economic system. It is
challenged though by the higher poverty incidence in 30 municipalities which is higher
than the national average.
The speaker presented the role of the region in the national development of the country
and the region’s macro-economic targets. WSS challenges will be addressed through the
following strategies:
• Promotion of water balance between water supply and demand
• Promotion of proper waste management
• Intensify protection and sustainable management of watershed, coastal,
marine and land
• Rehabilitation of degraded forestlands, critical watersheds, and major river
basins
• Establish and maintain the required number of water quality monitoring stations
• Regularly monitor ground water extraction
• Establishment of wastewater treatment in cities and municipalities
• Development and adoption of green infrastructure (rainwater harvesting)
24
3.2 Session 2a: Formulating the WSS Sector Vision

Input on vision was inspired by the song What a Wonderful World. Key questions were
presented to help the group brainstorm what is the WSS vision for Region 4A.

3.3 Session 2b: Setting the WSSTargets

Engr. Jay Tecson – Sanitation Specialist
The two engineers presented the excel sheet templates to be used in the computation of
WSS targets for 2022 and 2030. Participants were grouped according to their provinces
and computed their provincial targets.
26
______________________________________________________________________
4.0 MODULE 3: HOW DO WE GET THERE
The introduction to the module is an input on

planning by the Participation Specialist, Theo
Demaisip. He explained the concept of strategy
and gave examples from the WSS roadmaps.
He also differentiated programs from projects.
4.1 Session 3a: Sanitation Strategies in

Urban and Rural Setting
The session started with a review of the SDGs

and the essential components of a sanitation
Engr. Jay Tecson presenting
program, which is the integration of all these
three – infrastructure, products and services, appropriate promotional approaches, and
supportive environment. The financing component of the NSSMP grant was also
explained.
Different kinds of waste water treatment such as natural vs mechanized, onsite vs. offsite,
centralized vs. decentralized was explained to the participants. He also said that a
drainage system could be used as a sewer system. A practical approach to septage
management is to cluster municipalities so that one septage treatment plant can serve
multiple municipalities. These plans can also be fairly simple using lime.
• Discussion
• There are relocation sites in Cavite. Each household has one toilet but all toilets are
connected to one common septic tank because of lack of space. This type though cannot
be counted as improved sanitation. The association, in coordination with the municipal
government and BAWASA, will manage the wastewater treatment. It is discouraged to
have a common sanitation facility like toilets and septic tanks if there is no one in-charge
of maintaining the facility.
• If volume of human waste is big, then its methane gas can be used to provide electricity
for the households.
• In Tarnate, open defecation still occurs along the coastal areas. There is limited land so
sanitation is similarly limited. However, informal settlers cannot be deprived of WSS
services. DOH has a program for communal toilets. But we need to be thinking of
independent system. Shared or communal toilets is a temporary solution. And toilets
need to have septic tanks.
• Changing behavior should go hand in hand with building toilets so people will use the
facility. Promotion is critical.
27
• A combined sewerage system is cheaper because only a drainage intercept has to be

built into the system. There is still desludging of septic tanks. The question is whether
the drainage system can be used for combined system. If the condition of the drainage
system is bad, then it cannot be used. The first thing to do is to improve drainage and
rehabilitate it to be a combined system. And build a treatment facility.
• Metro Manila is divided into different catchments. Each one has an STP.
• As regards the drainage masterplan, DPWH has started training on septage and
sewerage. No official guidelines yet.
4.2 Session 3b: Water Supply Strategies in Urban and Rural Setting
Service levels appropriate in urban and rural areas

was explained by Engr. Capiz. He explained at
greater length the technology options for urban and
rural areas including cost of the cheapest technology
to the most expensive. He also said that not all Level
2 service type can be converted to Level 3 service
connection.
Discussion
• NRW can be measured if there is a mother meter.

Losses are not charged to consumers.
Engr. Rene Capiz helping out the
• Booster pump is used to supply water in upper participants
areas and a storage tank to store water.
• It is possible to manage aquifer recharge. Australia has developed the technology and
they have used it in karst areas. In the Philippines, this has been tested in laboratory
only. But there is plan to pilot test in Cebu. Groundwater recharge was looked into by
DPWH during the time of Sect. Singson. Contamination needs to be studied.
• Using aquifer recharge depends on soil type. Sand and gravel cannot absorb water.
• Sta Rosa opted for a flood neutral land development. Land in subdivisions are not
completely cemented. Pavements are not all cemented.
• JICA has a study of Cavite. It recommended that developers allot area for water
impounding. This however will add cost that the consumers have to pay.
After the input from resource persons, the participants, still grouped together by
provinces, proceeded to complete their target numbers and develop their provincial
WSS plan for 2022 to 2030.
28
Day 3
The morning started with a recap of the second day.
4.3 Session 4a: Sharing on Sanitation Programs and Projects

Engr. Tecson shared the different kinds of STPs available in the Philippines. The projects
he presented made it clear to participants that an STPs size and location can vary
depending on the need and availability of land. He also showed the STP in Tacloban City
where visitors can learn from the materials posted in the visitors hall. He also enumerated
the cities that have completed their septage ordinance.
4.4 Session 4c: Financing Strategies, and Unified Financing Framework

Myrra Montaño – Finance Specialist
Funding is available for waterless municipalities through government grant. Water for
Every Resident Program by the DBP. There are other grants from the national government
and some are ODA funding.
Very relevant to the participants is the topic on financing challenges since many if
not all of them face the following problems: access to financing by small water
utilities, insufficient funds for the sector, their own creditworthiness and ratings,
and project viability. To better understand these ratings, the list of acceptable
performance of water utilities was explained to the participants. Tariff
Discussion
• Water districts have no VAT. But if water district enters into JV, then VAT will be
imposed. LWUA has no guidelines for vatable rates.
• There is a special pricing for the tariff in relocation areas and for the poor. The water
districts do not normally follow the mother rate. They have a CSR program. In some
occasions, NGOs help these communities. In terms of payment, there are existing
mechanisms ie. Daily payment of water. Sometimes, NGOs or housing committee or
cooperatives maintain these water facilities and their operation.
• When BWASAs turn over the water utility to water districts and they refuse to accept it,
it is because of their concern about the ability of the residents to pay. Affordability does
not mean free. Technical expertise can be provided by the water district to the BWASAs.
Maybe they cannot cover the maintenance because there is cost.
• NWRB does not want to give permit to operate so the water service provider cannot
operate.

Water Supply
• Verify urban and rural population.

• Not able to come up with 95% target in water supply targets. There are upland areas and 17 island barangays.
• Refer to PAWD website for population coverage of water districts and change the percentages. There may be other data from
other water districts. No representatives from WDs in this province.
• In Tanay, some barangays refuse to be connected to Manila Water or any water district. The people are satisfied with their access
to spring water.
Sanitation
• The 3% of population from the OPEN DEFECATION should go to Improve Sanitation.
• The proposed clusters include the 5% population in the upland areas. If they cannot be served by Manila Water, maybe because
there is no access road to these areas, these areas will need rural solutions. On site treatment instead of septage facilities.
38
Programs
• For areas that cannot be reached by water district or Manila Water, the LGU will provide spring development so they can have
their own water system. In upland areas, LGU will serve the communities of Dumagats. LGU may outsource too.
• The province has multiple players in the sector which is unique. In one service area, both Manila Water and water district operate.
However, some areas are not covered by either of the two.
• The program of the government on NSSMP is a combination of the integration of basic sanitation and NSSMP. For basic sanitation,
consider the combination of behavior change and micro-finance to acquire toilet bowls, septic tanks and water meters. Toilets are
responsibilities of the households.
• In estimating cost, include construction materials. Digging the pit is the responsibility of the owner.
• For the remaining L1 and L2 water service connections, make sure concerned people understand that these have to be safely
managed water supply – facility has to be properly located, designed, and maintained.
• In other provinces, there have been bad experiences when it comes to distribution of free toilet bowl and construction materials.
When LGU staff come back, they saw that these materials have been used in extension of rooms instead or toilet bowls used for
other purposes instead. A suggestion is to distribute pre-cast, already assembled toilet so that beneficiaries will just set them up.
Distribution of toilet materials also requires monitoring.
• There should also be an incentive mechanism where rewards are given to barangays by the LGU if they have attained zero open
defecation.

Water Supply
• Cavite is a fast-developing province. Rural areas are not rural forever because of fast development. Population numbers from the
rural population were added to the figures in urban areas. Water supply access should be 95% by 2022.
Sanitation
• In sanitation, no discrimination in targets was made for rural and urban though approaches are different. The purpose is to provide
sanitation services for everybody whatever the model or system is. For budget purposes, the entire population was
included. For unit costing, use the highest value. Some areas may still be rural and may not need STPs.
• Sewerage is relevant for urban areas and candidate HUCs.
• There is a need to segregate basic toilets, with septic tank and no septic tank. 93.6% all with septic tanks. The number should go
to Improve/with treatment.
Programs
• Capacity building can be implemented in the short-term and construction in the long term.
• As part of the drainage masterplan, run off water should not be thrown to the sea. There is an engineering intervention where run
off can be collected, stored and used for other purposes. In the US, major road intersections have cisterns underneath the road.
Water is collected and stored under the road. Reclaimed water can be re used, like water for flushing the toilet, and it is free.
• LWUA is considering to set up laboratories for clusters of water districts since the focus now shifts to water quality. The problem
is that DOH cannot budget for this. Setting up water laboratories in an academic institution is an option. Another suggestion is to
outsource the laboratory and data management services to competent partners.
• For communal septic tanks, there has to be an institutional arrangement for operation and maintenance. The operation of the
facility has to be monitored.
• There is a need to promote groundwater recharge. The developers have to be required to allocate additional open spaces like
parks. This will add though to the cost of the property and will have to bear the additional cost.
46
4.5.3 LAGUNA

49
Plan
• Creating a WatSan Core Team at the provincial level is a good idea. A budget has to be allocated for its operation.
• With the participation of the private sector in the WSS sector, there will be a reduction in public spending.
• DOH will not give free toilets starting next year. LGU will continue to give free toilets.
• Cavinti is far. It is not feasible to be part of the cluster system.
50
4.5.4 BATANGAS
51
52
53
Programs
• 87% of the population reported with toilets but have no septic tanks.
• 34% urban; 66% rural
• Pay particular attention to IPs and design a special program for them.
• Toilets will be given free, beneficiaries will contribute labor.
• Many BAWASAs still exist in Batangas. For example, in one barangay where there are multiple water sources, there are 4
barangay waterworks. Each Sitio has a water source. Tariff differs depending on who the water service provider is. These
community managed service providers do not want to be registered. If they become water district, tariff will be higher. Water quality
is the municipality’s responsibility.
• Community-managed water systems are not politicized because the people in the community establish it. They have their own set
of officers. People in the community pay their water because the service will cut off if they do not pay. If they are LGU managed
water service providers, they will be politicized.
• The Province construct water system and turn them over to BWASA. The municipalities give them technical assistance and monitor
water quality.
• Independent BWASAs can be organized into cooperatives. The CDA may not have this type for sanitation.
• Province will not be able to achieve 97% in sanitation.
• Municipalities need a local ordinance to compel people to build proper septic tanks in urban and rural areas with no exception.
54
4.5.5 QUEZON
55

57
Water supply
• More than 30% of population have L3 connections. Check data used in targets.
• The province is more rural than urban. Poverty rate is high. Water can contribute to government income since the province has a
very good supply of water. For every centavo, the host bgy, municipality or province will have a share in the sale of bulk water.
Programs
• Lucena should be excluded in total population because it is an HUC; but data from the region includes Lucena’s number.
• Safe water is 92% already. By 2030 they will achieve 100%.
• Many upland areas may have open defecation.
• Lucena water district plans for STP only. The city must have sewerage system by 2022 according to the law.
• Projects excluded from this plan cannot be included in the list of future projects to be funded, like the clustering of STPs. The
project being proposed by the governor, the Water Filtration facility/station, should be included in this plan.

5.0 Module 4: Identifying and Narrowing Down the Capacity Gaps
The last activity was an assessment of the provincial capacity and resources. Each province had to determine what capacity requirements
are needed to implement and monitor the WSS plan and ensure its sustainability. Each province was given an assessment checklist to fill
out.

6.0 CLOSING REMARKS

Engr. Maricon Alcaraz - DPWH
On behalf of the organizers and sponsors of this formulation of the Philippines WSSMaster
Plan workshop, it is indeed my pleasure to make a few closing remarks and express
gratitude to all those who made this event a reality.
Going forward, we can tap into the enormous amount of information and recommendations
from all the participants. Your statements have highlighted our shared objectives–a
coherent, ambitious development agenda with a concise set of formulation PWSSMP.
As you have emphasized, our goals must address our shared challenges as well as our
diverse national realities and priorities. We must ensure the cleanliness, safety, and
affordability of the water distributed in the community. Hopefully we will achieve a universal
access to adequate and equitable sanitation in accordance with SDG definition and
targets.
The Philippine government recognizes the need to provide universal access to water and
sanitation for all. While this has been pronounced in numerous occasions in different
policies, strategies and campaigns, access to safe water and sanitation continues to be
elusive for some. I hope we all attained our main objectives after 3 days of planning
workshop. I hope we gained deeper understanding of the water and sanitation situation of
the region, and have a clearer picture of the desired state of the water and sanitation
sector and success indications. We have also identified the key programs and initiatives
for each identified program and configured strategies. And lastly, I hope we gained
knowledge and competencies in the strategic and business planning process.
Again, it is my sincere duty to thank all of you here today. I hope you enjoyed your stay
here in Los Baños, Laguna. Thank you for the contribution to the workshop and once back
in your environment, use the concepts that you learnt at this workshop to make this earth
a better place for all living beings.
Thank you and have a safe trip.

3. PRESENTATIONS
Ms. Pauline Palacio, Project Coordinator, presented the government’s commitment to provide safe,
97.46% (Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022), as well as the long-term target of realizing universal
and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and adequate and equitable sanitation
(Sustainable Development Goals 2030).
The PWSSMP project will be implemented in 12-months, from September 2017 to September 2018,
and will conduct the following activities: organization and planning, sector assessment through the
Master Plan and 16 Regional Road Maps and corresponding investment programs. These roadmaps
shall contain the policy framework, reform programs, strategies and operational action plans along
with the investment and financing schemes of the identified short to long-term projects, programs
and activities. The Master Plan is expected to be completed on July and launched by August 2018.
Discussion:
• Romblon State University: How do we mobilize the DILG WATSAN Hubs to help formulate the
master plan?
• Consultant: The team is in constant coordination with the DILG regarding data on the
WATSAN hubs.
• Puerto Princesa City: We commend the third objective of the project, we hope that all
agencies will share their data and that the consultants will share their findings to the
provinces / cities.
• Consultant: The workshop methodology is designed to ensure that data to be used will all
come from the participants. We will only use what you will provide. We will ensure that the
workshop process and outputs will be carried out in a participatory manner.
• DPWH: Will you be conducting a similar workshop to the other regions? What about in Metro
Manila?
• Consultant: Yes, we will be conducting regional workshops in all regions across the country.
Page 4 of 52
• Puerto Princesa City: Is the project coordinated with other national agencies such as the
DILG, LWUA, DENR, NWRB, and DPWH, etc.? Isn’t the project redoing the same data
gathering and consultations done by the other agencies as well.
• Consultant: DILG and LWUA has provided a lot of data already specifically for LGU-run water
systems (DILG), while water districts for LWUA. The masterplan considers all WSPs including
rural water associations, barangay water and sanitation associations, cooperatives, etc.


Engr. Rene Capiz, presented the WSS sector performance of the country:
Water Supply
2015, 322 municipalities continue to be “waterless.” Across the country, there are 9 regions with more
than 50% of its population having a Level 1 access only, including Mimaropa region.
Sanitation

extreme events.
• On regulatory challenges, among the concerns include the absence of national agency
(WDs).
• On governance challenges, there are no standard definition and comprehensive strategy to
• On financing, inaccessibility of funds or financing among small water utilities, inadequate
• On management level, majority of the LGUs that run water utilities are not operated as
was noted.
• On political challenges, conflicts between water districts and LGUs and presence of political
Discussion:
• Odiongan WD: Why are there so many agencies involved in water supply and sanitation?
• Consultant: It is true that there are over 30 agencies involved in the WSS sector and that
institutional arrangement is poorly set up. The overlapping responsibilities of these agencies
is considered a challenge to achieving sector targets.
• Puerto Princesa City: We should not only be focused on sanitation at the household level,
what about infectious wastes from hospitals or mortuaries, etc.?
• Consultant: The project is only concerned with liquid wastes at the household level.
• Puerto Princesa City: We are already in the process of updating our sanitation plans, can we
still use this in the development of the master plan.
• Consultant: Yes, we would like to request for a copy of the sanitation plan of the city. The city
can also use the outputs from this workshop to complete the local sanitation plans.
• Odiongan WD: We agree that LWUA is an aging institution, but we believe that the WD is the
most practical set-up for WSS service.
Page 6 of 52
• Consultant: We agree that the WD concept is the most successful strategy. However, there is
also a need to increase the capacity of LWUA to lend money to the WDs.
• Odiongan WD: There was a senator that initiated the delegation of LWUA as a central
authority. But this was not implemented.
• ___: What policy recommendations can be institutionalized to help achieve the targets for
the masterplan?
• Consultant: We will discuss policy recommendations in the succeeding sessions; further, we
will also solicit from the participants the challenges and recommendations for the sector. In
terms of achieving the targets, we will be conducting a workshop that will identify programs
and projects, and strategies to address the gap for each province.
• Marinduque State College: Who provides sanitation service? Does WDs provide sanitation
service?
• Puerto Princesa City: Our LGU provides sanitation service in the city. In fact, PP City is in the
process of bidding out a septage program / treatment plant.
• Consultant: Not all WDs have engaged in sanitation programs and projects; however, there is
an ongoing effort to encourage WDs to address gaps in sanitation.
• Calapan: Does PWSSMP include studies on water source?

• Consultant: Yes, ground water, surface water, water source development is included.
3.4 Water Supply and Sanitation Sector: Regional and Provincial Situation
The water supply and sanitation sector situation of the Mimaropa Region were presented by NEDA
Regional Office 4B, while the provincial water supply and sanitation sector situationer were prepared
by the respective planning or health officers.
According to the Mimaropa Regional Development Plan (Chapter 19: Water Resources), 94.60% of
households in the region have access to safe water in 2015. A majority of these households (49%) are
level 1. In terms of water service connections, Palawan and Oriental Mindoro had the largest
percentage increase in service connections from 2015 to 2016 at 37.37% and 29.39% respectively.
In terms of households with access to complete basic facilities, Palawan had the largest percentage
change in terms of increase in access to complete basic sanitation facilities.
Page 7 of 52
The following are issues and concerns of water supply and sanitation sector of the region:
• Identify other sources of water for domestic and industrial uses to minimize ground water
extraction.
• Households in rural areas are not served with level III water systems.
• The provision of water supply is hampered by the island characteristics of the region.
• Presence of open defecation
The region targets to provide adequate water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural use by 2022.
Specific targets include:
• increase in proportion of household with access to safe water supply from 94.60 percent in
2015 to 100 percent in 2022
• Increase percentage of households provided with level III water supply system from 28.86
percent in 2015 to 6o percent in 2022
• increase in irrigation service area from 80,130 hectares in 2015 to 138,718 hectares in 2022
To achieve these targets, the following strategies were identified in the regional development plan:
• Encourage private sector investment in the construction of water supply facilities.

• Implement environmental measures to protect, rehabilitate and maintain water resources in
watershed areas.
• Improve Implementing Agencies capacities through the strengthening of the Irrigation
Management Transfer (IMT).
• Implement Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) before the implementation of
irrigation projects.
• Improve coordination between implementing agencies and LGU in the implementation of the
projects.
• Implement strategic flood control projects and ensured protection of flood prone areas.
• Provide incentives to recycling industries. Adopt technologies supportive of waste-to energy
solutions
• Promote LGU clustering in the provision of wastewater and solid waste disposal (e.g. sanitary
landfill)
• Prioritize tourism areas for the development od wastewater treatment facilities and solid
waste disposal system.
Major programs and projects in the region to address the WSS sector gap include the following:
Page 8 of 52
• SALINTUBIG program – DILG

• Water District Facilities improvement project
• New Water system facilities
• Extension / Expansion of existing National and Communal Irrigation System
• Restoration / Rehabilitation / Repair of Existing National and Communal Irrigation systems
• Small irrigation Projects (SIP)
Each province presented their respective WSS sector data. It should be noted that Marinduque
province provided comprehensive data on WSS.
Discussion:
• Puerto Princesa City: Is there a listing of NGOs that provides assistance in terms of
sanitation?
• NRO 4B: The data included in the regional development plan is limited to those who attended
the consultation, and those agencies and institutions that shared data. We will include your
recommendation to include NGOs during the mid-term assessment of the regional
development plan.
• Consultant: It should be noted that there is a dissimilarity in the 2015 water coverage data
differs from PSA (90%) and NRO (94%). Further, level 1 (49%) access should be categorized
further as safe or unsafe sources. It is suggested that the participants focus on developing
projects that migrates households with level 1 access to level 2 and 3.
Sanitation
Engr. Philip Diokno, Sanitation Specialist, gave a presentation on sanitation concepts, approaches,
Discussion:
• EMB: Leaching field can also be considered, but there is a need to ensure the presence of a
sampling port. Construction of the facility will be a challenge because materials are not
readily available in the islands, furthermore, these are expensive because of the need to
Page 9 of 52
import from the Manila mainland. There are suppliers that offer offsite treatment, but EMB
needs to monitor these.
• DPWH: LGUs should ratify a sanitation ordinance. This will be the basis to solicit
environmental fees.
• Puerto Princesa City WD: Can the WD avail directly from DPWH or do we need to pass
through the LGU?
• DPWH: There was a proposal to the NEDA regarding a WD-DPWH arrangement, but NEDA
declined this; however, an LGU can give authority to the WD to apply and process (through a
memorandum between LGU and WD).

4.2 Workshop 2: Mitigating and Hindering Factors to Water Supply and Sanitation
Mr. Demaisip, Participation Specialist presented a brief overview on the key areas that need to be
evaluated in the WSS sector. These areas are planning and development, service provision, regulation
and cross-cutting themes such as policy and institutional, leadership including politics, cultural/
Page 10 of 52

Issues and Concerns

Water Supply
Identify other sources of water for domestic and industrial
uses to minimize ground water extraction.
Households in rural areas are not served with level III

water systems.
The provision of water supply is hampered by the island

characteristics of the region.
Issues and Concerns
Irrigation
The lack of water impounding facilities resulted to shortage
of water during dry season.
Heavy siltation and change in river course due to climate

change contribute to flooding.
Existing irrigation facilities are not properly maintained.
Right-of-way (ROW) problems in the construction of

irrigation facilities are common.
Issues and Concerns

Sanitation
Presence of open defecation
LGUs lack financial and technical capability to establish

solid waste management facilities.

Development Plans. The workshop is a good avenue for Bicolanos to identify targets and strategies to
improve the water supply and sanitation statistics. She encouraged the active participation of
everyone on the said event.

After the photo opportunity of the group with NEDA Regional Director Agnes E. Tolentino, the group
conducted an activity that served as ice breaker and introduction of participants. Mr. Theo Demaisip,
Public Participation Specialist and Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist of the team facilitated the
activity that focused on types of planners.

3. PRESENTATIONS
Atty. Marco Sardillo, Institutional and Legal Specialist, presented the government’s commitment to
provide safe, clean water and sanitation services for all through the formulation of the PWSSMP. This
effort is also underlined in the Philippine/Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 and the Clean Water
Act of 2004 as well as the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The PWSSMP is an action plan with
corresponding investment and financing programs to execute all water supply and sanitation
initiatives (i.e., Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap (PWSSR), and the Philippine Sanitation Sector
Roadmap (PSSR), and put targets for water supply and sanitation into realization. She emphasized the
country’s medium-term target of increasing access to safe water supply to 95.16% and basic sanitation
to 97.46% (Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022), as well as the long-term target of realizing
universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and adequate and equitable
sanitation (Sustainable Development Goals 2030).
Discussion:
• Masbate: What is the difference between the PWSSMP and DOH’s implementation of the
NSSMP?
• Consultant: The sanitation plans are anchored to the PSSMP, which expired in 2017. The
plans should be revisited, and DOH will roll out new plans to address SDG targets for
Sanitation.
• Bicol University: The university was engagement by the UNDP and DILG for pro-water project
(MDGF 1919), which intends to capacitate waterless communities. Two provinces were
beneficiaries of the trainings: Camarines Norte, and Masbate. The consortium consisted of:
Social Action Center, Coalition for Bicol Development, and Bicol University. The university
suggests that the consultants integrate the studies conducted by the consortium to the
formulation of the master plan.

• Consultant: Noted, thank you.
• Camarines Norte: Are we going to discuss how we can address presence of doubtful water
sources in our provinces?
• Consultant: We are going to present concepts and strategies on water and sanitation. But we
encourage the other provinces to share their strategies so we can learn from each other.
• Camarines Norte: On the implementation of a provincial Septage Management Program to

be implemented by 2022: No province in the Bicol Region have implemented a septage
management program. How can you help us in the process to formulate a septage
management program?
• Consultant: Daet is spearheading a septage management program. According to the targets,
all LGUs should have a septage management program by 2022, otherwise a case may be
filed against them. As for HUCs, there is a need to develop a sewerage system. We are also
discussing with the DILG to include in SGLG the water and sanitation indicators.
• DENR EMB: Is STP included in the discussion of a septage management program in the
workshop? Legazpi is currently developing an STP. Naga will also develop their own.
• Consultant: Septage Management and STPs will be discussed in the program.
• Bicol University: City Government of Legazpi has initiated the development of an STP. Legazpi
LGU have scheduled a visit to the university to check the septage management program.
• Consultant: Noted, thank you.
• Legazpi: We have already enacted a Septage ordinance in the province. The LGU engaged a
private provider to build an STP. The WD will collect fees for those with water service
connection.
• Consultant: Requesting for a copy of the ordinance. Please email.
• Iriga: We have a septage ordinance, however the treatment facility is not yet available. This
is proposed to be managed by the WD.

was noted.
Discussion:
• Sorsogon PHO: How do you define access to safe water? Are refilling stations considered safe
water?
• Consultant: Safe water by definition are Level 3 access. Refilling stations are gray areas in
terms of improved water source, because of the lack of regulation of these facilities. LGUs
and DOH have a regulation over these businesses. But this is still vague because there is no
national law for water refilling stations, just Administrative Orders from LGUs.
• Sorsogon PHO: Level 1 is safe if treatment is applied. DOH advised a time and distance to
ensure safety of water.
• Consultant: Level 1 can be considered safe if treatment is proper. All should pass water
quality requirements: PNSDW.
• Sorsogon PHO: Per DOH, sanitation is safe for as long as there is a sanitary toilet, and septic
tank regardless of design.
• Consultant: In terms of sanitation, definition is still vague. Hanging latrines without slab are
considered unsafe. Our migration to SDG have changed the definition of safely-managed
sanitation facility.
• Camarines Norte: Safety of water from levels 1 and 2 are questionable. Even if it’s treated,
the question is if it is regularly treated?
• NEDA CO: When you talk about safe access to water, you are talking about drinking water,
but what we are talking about here is the use of water for all access of water supply. Having
a water refilling station is not just for drinking water, you may have access to potable
drinking water, but water from refilling stations are not used for bathing and cleaning. When
we talk about levels of access, it is not just for drinking, but includes other uses.
• Consultant: As long as results of water quality tests are within the normal range following
PNSDW.
• Iriga WD (Amalia): Level 1 and 2 are not regularly monitored because testing is expensive.
The water supply and sanitation sector situation of the Bicol Region were presented by Engr. Joel
Lustina, Senior Economic Development Specialist from the Project Monitoring and Evaluation Division
NEDA Regional Office 5, while the provincial water supply and sanitation sector situationer were
prepared by the respective planning or health officers.
In terms of level 3 water service connections, Daraga and Camarines Norte Water Districts had the
lowest percentage change from 2015 to 2016 at, -0.24% and -0.21%, respectively. The highest
percentage change is Baras and Camalig Water Districts, at 152% and 133%, respectively. Furthermore,
the province is implementing rainwater collector systems, as of 2016 there are 183 completed
rainwater collector system projects, while 96 are still being constructed.
The following are issues and concerns of water supply and sanitation sector of the region:
Page 7 of 59
• Increasing cost of potable/drinking water

• Water shortage due to competing water uses (agriculture and residential)
• Absence of a regional water body
• Difficulty in gathering data from regional agencies: DILG, water districts, DPWH, and LGUs
• Deforestation
• Lack of qualified staff from concerned agencies to monitor water quality (e.g. too many water
refilling stations.
• Lack / absence of wastewater treatment projects especially in urban areas of the region.
• High rate of open defecation
• Lack / limited snaitation and treatment facilities and centralized sewerage system
• Improper practice of hygiene
Discussion:
• DENR: There is a body that handles all water concerns, NWRB. This body monitors utilization
and appropriation of water in the country aside from the LGUs. DENR was deputized by the
NWRB which includes acceptance of water applications. Another issue is PD 1067 and PD
198, particularly in water regulation of certain areas. There was a previous conflict between
Legazpi WD and a hospital. The hospital has a deep well, which is permitted by the NWRB.
But the WD wants to form a MOA with the hospital to use the deep well.
• Legazpi WD: DENR is correct that NWRB regulates and issues water permit/rights. New
water permit applications submitted to the NWRB, NWRB gives a letter to the WD if there is
an objection. The WD submits a position paper to the NWRB, then NWRB board assess the
application and position paper then decides. Gaps: listahan tubig will die a natural death,
and lack of data.
• Legazpi WD: Supreme court decision has been offered. Decision is that WDs will do an
assessment of the hospital application. If hospital will pay for water production cost to the
WD.
• Sorsogon: Who regulates privatized water utilities?
• Camarines Norte WD: The WD is in a 25 years joint venture contract with Prime Water. PD
198 allows for WDs to enter into agreements with another provider.
• Consultant: After 25 years, what will happen to prime water’s investment/capital?
• Camarines Norte WD: After 25 years, all capital expenditures will be turned over to the WD.
Sanitation
Engr. Jay Tecson, Sanitation Specialist, gave a presentation on sanitation concepts, approaches,
Page 8 of 59
Discussion::
• Albay: In terms of sanitation, there is no one agency delegated to monitor sanitation.
Should it be LGU under LGC? Or DPWH because they are mandated to prepare
drainage systems? Or DOH because of sanitation?
• Consultants: We have over 33 agencies involved in water and sanitation. There is a
current effort to consolidate this in the formulation of the master plan. We will
discuss this in succeeding sessions.
• Sorsogon: We have to discourage communal toilets, rather use communal septic

tanks (Octopus type).
• Consultant: Common toilets are not encouraged especially in places without existing
water supply system. Who is responsible for maintaining the communal septic tanks?
Do not propose projects that will be hard to implement in terms of monitoring.
Water Supply
Discussion:
• Legazpi WD: Right of way affects development of water supply sources. DPWH DO 26
on right of way.
• DPWH: on ROW, DO 26 has already been amended. When pipes are placed under the
pavement and maintenance works are required, street pavements are demolished. In
bridges, since these are designed to carry a specific load, installing a pipe with water
will result to affect the structural integrity of the bridge. DPWH will need to approve
the pipe installation.
• Mabate-Mobo WD: The concern is not the quantity and quality of water, but the
problem is source. For the WD, the focus is surface water, unless source is a deep well
wherein you need to conduct a study and drilling to verify the presence. Our source is
not a protected area, and very susceptible to other pressures.
• Sorsogon: What will be the water source if the province will provide water to its
constituents? Sites of provincial governments are usually in urban town proper, source
is often a challenge.
Page 9 of 59
• Consultant: The province of Cavite is spearheading provision of water supply to its

constituents, the source will be one municipality. Several consultations were conducted
to obtain approval from the stakeholders. Cavite provincial government partnered
with a university to conduct studies to explore possible sources.
• Sorsogon: Speaking of water demand, shouldn’t this be based on population and not
water level system?
• Consultant: Water demand speaks of behaviour without posing any risk to one’s
health. Example: washing of car to be reduced, this does not affect health.
• Sorsogon: Water Demand slide, urban consumption is different from rural
consumption following the water level system.
• Legazpi: Per person requires 200 liters per capita per day (all water use: drinking,
bathing, cleaning, etc.). We need to benchmark and not just use the data that is
presented. We need to localize it. For Legazpi, we do not refer to 200 liters per capita
per day. Level 1 and 2 presented in the slide is related to the distance of use.
• Naga: There is a water district that provides level 3 system but water quality is not
acceptable.
• Consultant: Water districts provides monthly reports to LWUA, which includes water
quality.
As an example, the participants were provided slides on completed sanitation projects in the
Philippines. Examples of these are the domestic wastewater and septage treatment plant in five
municipalities in the Sarangani province. The primary objective of the project is to protect the
Sarangani Bay. This was implemented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) and funded through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Other completed septage
treatment plants were built in Caloocan City, Makati, Dumaguete City and Bulacan. In Negros Oriental,
a domestic effluent treatment plant was also established.
projects.
Discussion:
• Question to the participants: What is the difference between planning to achieve vs.
planning to accomplish?
• Legazpi WD: achieve is based on a target or goal; accomplish is in terms of
implementation or how to execute.
3.7 Investment Program (LWUA Finance Strategies, and Unified Financing Framework)
Engr. Jay Tecson presented slides explaining the unified financing framework. There are significant
gaps in service coverage and quality despite national strategies in place to increase water supply and
sanitation coverage. Ms. Orda presented the constraints including the fragmented institutional set-up
Page 10 of 59
and weak support agencies; and insufficient funding to reach the national targets. The recognition of
these challenges led to the preparation of a unified financing policy coupled with regulation and
institutional measures.

Executive Summary
The Regional Workshop of Region 6 for the Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and
Sanitation Master Plan was held on 6-8 December 2017 at the Iloilo Grand Hotel, Iloilo City. It
was conducted by the Consortium composed of the Engineering and Development
Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP), Tractebel Inc., and Orient Integrated Development
Consultants (OIDCI).
The main objectives of the regional workshop were to: (a) develop a more comprehensive
picture of water and sanitation situation of Region 6, (b) produce the regional water and
sanitation vision, and, (c) identify strategies, key programs and projects for short, medium, and
long terms.
There were 75 participants coming from different regional government agencies, provincial,
municipal and city local government units (LGUs), academe, private/business sectors, water
service providers and non-government organizations (NGOs) who joined the workshop. These
participants came from the following institutions/agencies:

Mr. Othello E. Detecho welcomed the participants on behalf of the regional director of the
National Economic Development Authority-6 (NEDA-6). The three-day workshop started
with the introduction of Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan Project to the
participants by Engr. Jay Tecson Engr. Noel M. Ortigas followed and presented the
Overview of the NEDA’s Formulation of the PWSSMP project. Ms. Elisea “Bebet” Gozun
then delivered the Overview of the Regional Master Plan Workshop.
The participants presented the water supply and sanitation situation in their provinces---
Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, Negros Occidental, Iloilo---and Iloilo City. They reported
on the access and quality of their water supply and sanitation services after which, the
participants in groups discussed the facilitating and hindering factors that affect five
categories impacting on their services: (1) Policy and Institutional, (2) Leadership and
Politics, (3) Finance and Funding Mechanism, (4) Cultural Behavioral and Attitudinal, and
(5) Capacity Awareness, Knowledge, Skills, and Human Resources.

On the second day, the participants were

given toolkits to enable them to
compute the amount which they will
need to invest in water supply and in
sanitation in order to reach the targets
by 2022 and 2030. To help them in their
planning, Engr. Jay Tecson shared with
them Concepts, Approaches and
Strategies on Sanitation while Mr. Oscar
Jusi discussed the Concepts, Approaches

Development.
To further broaden the participants’ knowledge, four (4) best practices/technologies on

WSS were shared by Dr. Jessica Salas of the Iloilo Watershed Management Council (IWMC)
and Metro Iloilo Water District (MIWD), Engr. Julito Pogoy of Pollution Abatement Systems,
Engr. Ernie Saquital of Paragon Waterworks and Pavia Water Services Cooperative, and
Engr. Arnold Laurente of the Joint Venture Selection Committee of the MIWD. After the
open forum, the Vision Statement of Region 6 Water Supply and Sanitation Sector was
presented to the body and was unanimously adopted.
On the third day, after sharing their three (3) significant learnings per group, the floor was
opened for the final questions regarding the plan preparation. After that, the participants
completed their targets and plans per Province/City. The NEDA Regional Office, meanwhile,
worked on its own suggestions and recommendations based on the facilitating and
hindering factors which were surfaced on Day 1.
They then presented and submitted their plans. Another set of best practices/technologies
were shared with the participants by the following: (1) iWASH Hub of the Department of
Interior and Local Government was discussed by Mr. Marlon Ladia (LGOO II, DILG-6), (2)
Rural Water Supply and Sanitation of the Provincial Government of Iloilo was shared by Mr.
Rene A. Margarico (Engineer IV, Provincial Engineer’s Office), and, (3) Engr. Noel
Hechanova (Chief, City Environment and Natural Resources Office) shared Iloilo City’s
initiatives. After the sharing was over, Mr. Leo De Castro lectured on Identifying Capacity
Requirements in support of the WSS Regional Master Plan and asked the participants to
fill out the capacity needs assessment checklist.
The participants agreed to submit the draft of their master plan 10 days before the sectoral
committee meeting of the Regional Development Council (RDC) for it to be approved by
the RDC by March 2018. They will include in the draft master plan their investment
projections and proposed projects. Engr. Alexander O. Aquio (Supervising Economic
Development Specialist, NEDA Region VI) delivered the closing remarks.

1.0 Opening Session
The program started at 9:00 am with the singing of the National Anthem and a Prayer.
Othello E. Detecho (Supervising Economic Development Specialist) delivered the Welcome
Remarks on behalf of Regional Director Ro-Ann Bacal of the National Economic
Development Authority (NEDA) VI. He said:
The national government, through NEDA is spearheading the effort in the

“Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan
(PWSSMP). The PWSSMP is an ambitious plan to ensure that all Filipinos
have clean water services. This plan is envisioned to help achieve the
objectives and targets under the 2017 to 2022 Philippine Development Plan
(PDP), the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Clean
Water Act of 2004, and Ambisyon Natin 2040.
The Philippine Development Plan 2017 -2022 recognizes that one of the challenges of the
water sector, particularly in the WSS, is the inadequacy of the water supply services despite
the abundance of water resources in the country and the many efforts to utilize and
manage these. On the other hand, even with subsidy provided by the national government
for service providers to establish a sewerage services in the highly urbanized cities outside
Metro Manila, no sewerage project has been implemented so far.
The many challenges and issues faced by the sector prompted the development of the
Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap and the Philippine Sustainable Sanitation
Roadmap to serve as roadmaps or guides in achieving the country’s long-term targets of
universal access in 2025 for water and 2028 for sanitation. Hence, the formulation of a
Philippine WaterSupply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP) that will set the direction in
helping the country meet the short, and long-term targets. The master plan shall take into
account what has been accomplished thus far, and what needs to be accomplished moving
forward, taking into considerations recent policy developments in the sector. The
development of the master plan shall integrate the water supply, sewerage and sanitation
subsectors into a single roadmap. Aside from coming up with a document which is national
in scope, parallel regional master plans will likewise be prepared for all the regions in the
country.
The preparation of the

national and regional
master plans is an
enormous task.
Considering the limited
human resources of
NEDA both at the
national and regional
levels, NEDA therefore
Leading the team of experts are former DENR Sec. Elisea Gozun, Engr. Noel
Ortigas and Engr. Jay Tecson. tapped the expertise of
three consulting firms –
Engineering and Development Corporation of the Philippines or EDCOP, Tractebel, and
Orient Integrated Development Consultant, Inc. or OIDCI – they are collectively called The
Consultants, who will manage and conduct the planning process and develop the plan.
3
It is a common practice of NEDA that before any development plan or document is finally
crafted and approved, a series of multi-stakeholders consultations and workshops are
conducted at the national and regional levels with representatives from the various
stakeholders to obtain views, comments and other inputs as well as promote ownership
of the plan.
Region 6 is the first stop in the series of regional workshops to be conducted in all regions
of the country. The 3-day activity is aimed to develop a more comprehensive picture of
water and sanitation situation of Region 6, the regional water and sanitation vision,
identify strategies, key programs and success indicators for short, medium, and long terms.
The Introduction of Participants then followed. To manage the limited time, the
participants were introduced by their province/city representations.

2.0 Presentations by the Consultants
Introduction of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation

Situation
Engr. Tecson gave the overview of the status of water and sanitation in the Philippines. It
provided the context and the introduction to the workshop. Some of the salient points in
the presentation are as follows:
 JMP and PSA were reporting on the same country but data presents two different
figures. The JMP reports globally and it caters to different countries, and
Philippines is just one of them. While PSA monitors and reports water supply in
terms of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Their categorization of Levels of Service is
different.
 Basic sanitation as reported by the PSA for MDG is merely about absence or
presence of sanitary toilet. However, the disparity of JMP and PSA figures is not
wide.
 Western Visayas is No. 1 in Level access to water compared to Eastern Visayas and
Central Visayas. But for Level 3, Eastern Visayas and Central Visayas have higher
access as compared to Western Visayas.
Sir Jay also mentioned the water resource issues being manifested in the country. These
are:
 Insufficient Volume – it is getting more difficult to secure ground water
 Water quality – many sources are contaminated. For the provincial government,
should conduct water quality testing with the DOH. Check the open wells, dug
wells and shallow wells.
 Sustainability – many sources are improperly managed
 Resiliency to Climate Change and Extreme Events (i.e. Floods, Droughts,
Earthquakes)
Together with these issues are the challenges that the government is facing.
 Regulatory Challenges
 Governance Challenges
 Financing Challenges
 Management Challenges
 Political Challenges
Some of the participants also offered some comments about the presentation.
 The issues identified are the same issues that should be overcome in the master
plan that will be formulated.
 It is a tall order to meet the universal target of 100% coverage of access to water
supply and sanitation.

Overview of the NEDA’s Formulation of the Philippine Water

Supply and Sanitation Master Plan Project
Engineer Ortigas discussed the need to put up the master plan for both the entire country
and the regions, which is what the project (PWSSMP) is all about. He discussed that water
has always been a special sector. In fact, if people look at the signs of the day, it is
fragmented. But the word “fragmented” should not apply to water because water is a
fluid, and it takes only the shape of the container it is being placed into. If water will be
described as “fragmented”, then there is always a disconnection because water as a
substance flows in one uniform element, and this is probably the reason why there is
problem in water supply and sanitation sector.
The project deliverables of the team are (1) National Master Plan – the big volume of the
task. But because it is bottom- up approach and participatory, the National Master Plan
will have to be crafted after or integrated from the Regional Master Plans. Region 6
stakeholders will be co-authors; at least 60% should come from the Region (2) Road Map
and (3) Investment Program and Financing Plan. For Region 6, there will be two big
projects: Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project and the Panay River Basin Master Plan, both
are multi-purpose and will cover irrigation, flood control, water supply.
The project’s key activities are:
1. National workshops
2. Regional Master Planning Workshops
3. Water supply and Sanitation Assessment- audit in three regions, including Region
6
4. Document Review and Analysis
5. On-line site help - includes data base (including maps and water sources)
Overview of the Regional Master Plan Workshop
Ms. Gozun tackled how the three-day workshop will be carried out. At the end of the 3-
day workshop, the following will be achieved:
1. Gained deeper understanding of the current water and sanitation situation in the
region
2. Clearer picture of the desired state of the water, sanitation sector in the region and
success indicators
3. Configured strategies and their success indicators to achieve the water and
sanitation sector vision ( referring to strategies in getting to the desired state)
5. Identified priority projects and initiatives for each identified program, and
6. Gained competencies in the strategic and business planning process.
The desired outputs of the three-day workshop are the following. Included in these
outputs will be the tasking of who will be the responsible agencies and also the timeframe
of executing the plans.
 WSS sector Situationer of the Region

 WSS Sector Vision
6
 Strategies and success indicators

 Key programs (per strategy)
 Priority projects ( per program)
 Increased competencies in the planning process
Sharing of Water Supply and Sanitation Situation
The different provincial and city

governments and also NEDA R6 were asked
to provide a 2-slide presentation about the
current water supply and sanitation
situation in their areas.
After each presentation, the consultants

commented about the data they have
presented. The presentations given by
NEDA R6 and by the provinces and cities are Mr. Ramie Conillo shares his insights on the
found in Annex. Below is a summary of the presentation.
discussion that were brought up during the
presentation.
City of Iloilo Local initiatives are either due to local legislation in compliance with
existing national laws and some were done in PPP manner.
Province of Capiz In terms of reliability, water runs out during dry season. Some get
water supply from surface water while others get from ground
water.
Diarrhea is a common disease. All water service levels reported

diarrhea. There is waste disposal but operation was stopped
because operators do not comply with requirements of DENR AND
DOH. Desludgers advertise themselves but they do not even have
names.
If there is someone who goes into the business of providing

desludging services without the necessary clearances from DENR
and DOH, they should not be given permits at all if they do that.
Since their names are pasted on the posts, let us mark them. Let us
be pro-active. We know they cause pollution.
Because most of the rivers of the country, especially in urban

centers, 70% up to 80% like in Laguna de Bay, the source of pollution
is domestic waste water. One way of ensuring that we have a clean
water for the long term is to ensure that the water is clean. In terms
of policy, let us be more pro-active in addressing those issues. We
know the problem but we are closing our eyes to it.
There are two major water basin projects in Panay. Are these plans
of NIA and Panay interfaced with the provinces? Because the Jalaur
River Multi-Purpose Project and the Panay River Basin both have
7
water supply components and there may be a need for discussion

between NIA and the two provinces.
Province of Iloilo We have to identify ZOD not only in terms of “tawo” (humans) but
even animals. There is a need to look at the criteria prior to giving a
substantial report in terms of zero defecation.
Iloilo Province check 10% of the population at random. They also

check those who do not have toilets as well as check the loss of the
BHWs.
ZOD validation includes whether there is soap in toilets or how

households manage their domestic wastes. Capiz is proud because
out of 473 barangays, 231 ZOD brgys or 48% ZOD. Capiz is the highest
ZOD in Region 6.
The Governor of Guimaras provided a budget of P1 million for the

purchase of sanitary toilets and construction materials for HH
without sanitary toilets. The government purchased 479 toilet
bowls allocated to the 5 municipalities in the province. For 2018,
there is another P1 million for the ZOD program so there is
continuity of the project. There are barangays waiting to be
declared ZOD.
Antique declared 30 brgys as ZOD this year and more barangays to

be declared ZOD in December 2017. The province has gone beyond
the 30 barangays promised to DOH as ZOD. Capiz, during the
Typhoon Yolanda, received plenty of foreign-funded projects,
hence they have many declared ZOD barangays. Antique had no
foreign donors. Those declared as ZOD barangays are locally-
funded initiatives. Out of 40 barangays, Antique has 2 regional
winners, and one top 1 national winner for national search for
sanitation best practice.
If one is applying for the national search for sanitation best

barangay practices,that is the time that all individuals must have
sanitary toilets. That is the time when one should not see any fecal
material whether be it human or animal. It should be really zero.
Province of Aklan The province has a problem on water storage.
The schools in far-flung areas have hand washing areas. But

community has little appreciation of that since there is no water.

Sir Oscar Jusi and Sir Jay Tecson, respectively, discussed a comprehensive presentation
about the concepts, approaches and strategies that can be used for the development of a
sustainable water supply and sanitation project to the participants. Some of the highlights
during their presentations are as follows:
 The concept of Clustering Approach to Septage Management wherein LGUs that are
adjoining each other can invest together on a treatment facility that all of them can
use instead of putting up one for each of them. This can be done especially for LGUs
within 8-15 km radius. This approach can make them save on cost and this has been
done by several LGUs.
 Engr. Tecson discussed “Financing Sanitation” telling the participants that their
projects can be funded using tariffs, LGU and debt financing, national subsidy (NSSMP
and UFF), NWQMF and AWQMF, and PPP (private-public partnership).
 Water resources management is necessary because of growing population and
growing economy that lead to increasing the competing demand for water and the
need for allocation and conflict resolution in the use of water.
 Practices in Water Supply Development: (1) River basin approach (a single big source
serving cluster of municipalities along the
way; island provinces usually have very
limited catchment area), (2) Bulk water
supply (from a private company,
joint venture, etc.), (3) Management
contract (with a reputable water
company to run the system), (4)
Performance contracting (for NRW
Engr. Tecson serves as the “host” of the “talk reduction), (5) Water demand
show” wherein the “guests” shared their best management (focusing on water-saving
practices for their workshop co-participants to devices and behavioral change), and (6)
learn from and possibly replicate in their Rainwater harvesting (capturing and
localities. storing rainwater).
Sharing of Best Practices/Technologies on Water Supply
To help the participants have concrete examples of the interventions and initiatives which
they could replicate in their own localities, four (4) participants were asked to briefly share
their experiences. The resource persons were: (1) Dr. Jessica Salas, founder of Kahublagan
sa Panimalay Foundation, Inc, chairperson of the Iloilo Watershed Management Council,
and member of the board of directors of the Metro Iloilo Water District; (2) Engr. Jolito
Pogoy of the Pollution Abatement Systems; (3) Engr. Ernie Saquital, professor at Central
Philippine University, chair of the Palagon Waterworks and founding chair of Pavia Water
Services Cooperative; and, (4) Engr. Arnold Laurente, OIC for Administration and chair of
the Joint Venture Selection Committee of the Metro Iloilo Water District.
A summary of the session is shown below:

Dr. Salas shared that what she learned from her decades-long of engagement in water
issues in Maasin and then eventually in Iloilo City is the upstream-downstream disconnect.
She explained that the people upstream in the watershed and those who are downstream
do not understand each other. The chieftain of the residents upstream, for example, thinks
that they are made to plant trees yet the users downstream only want their water. The
people downstream do not realize why they need to also invest on the people upstream
who take care of the watershed from which they source out their water. Dr. Salas said
there has to be a connection between the two. And that is why they have formed water
councils in all eight (8) towns and Iloilo City where the water from Maasin Watershed
traverses through until it reaches Iloilo City.
Engr. Pogoy introduced his company which is into industrial and hospital waste treatment
and management. He narrated that Pollution Abatement Systems was formed in 2004 and
has since expanded to Visayas and Mindanao areas. In 2013, it saw that Iloilo has no septage
facility for hospital waste, so it tried to bring that r service. He noted that the Solid Waste
Management Ordinance that was passed was not that thorough especially on the
collection of septage. He said in January 2018, a facility for septage will be available in Iloilo
City. For medical wastes, their company has been dealing directly with hospitals. Their
preferred strategy is joint venture with LGUs. He also said that the PPP (public-private
partnership) is not a guarantee to them because when a new administration comes in, the
project is re-evaluated and they have to undergo a renegotiation or a new deal.
Engr. Saquital introduced their small community-based organization which serves get
water from them plus one elementary school with 500 pupils. He recounted that their area
was not served by MIWD and they had a hard time especially after Typhoon Frank
devastated Iloilo. So they thought of forming their BAWASA to solve the waterlessness in
their barangay. Slowly they were able to woo the residents and they eventually supported
their project. He said that people can meet their needs when you build the capacities.
Theirs is a small project with high impact. He added that the people should not rely on the
government all the time but also build social capital for the citizens. After seven (7) years,
they were able to solve their water problem and are now sustainable with plans of
expanding to their neighboring villages.
Engr. Laurente started off his sharing that MIWD had a low corporate image when it came
to its service because of non-availability of water and the unresponsiveness of its
employees to the complaints of the consumers. In other words, MIWD was deeply
submerged in internal, external and institutional problems. It can’t cope with water
demand. Investors shied away. Then it thought of bulk water supply. It needs to have
sufficient water and so it embarked on a public-private partnership (PPP). It complied with
the guidelines of NEDA. Then Metro Pacific of the Pangilinan Group of Companies sent an
unsolicited proposal. Both parties kept on revising the agreement. In 2017 there was
enough water supply already and MIWD plans to share it with areas it has not yet reached
although it still has to address its non-revenue water or water losses which stands at 46.5%.
Its PPP committee will also study water distribution. Its P12.349-billion water concession
agreement includes a provision on septage treatment.
The four resource persons gave their final messages. Engr. Laurente said he can share with
their co-participants his knowledge on PPP. He also underscored that in PPP and JVA,
accountability, competitiveness and transparency are important. Engr. Saquital said what
cooperatives or BAWASAs can do is start small but think big. Look at the bigger picture.
10
Engr. Pogoy, meanwhile, said the most efficient is private management through PPP, for
example. He asked LGUs to create a good climate for investors. Dr. Salas, on the other hand,
said that it is best to start with an information campaign in barangays as it will spread like
wildfire. Don’t start a watershed council without empowering the people first as it will be
an empty shell.
Other discussions during the Q&A are summarized below:
Public Private Partnership
 Replication of PPP in Bacolod City: In the case of MIWD, the employees initially were
against it. There are two employees’ union, one was in favor of the PPP, the other was
not. There was a lot of worry initially and so the union was represented in the joint
venture committee. A representative from the union sit at the JVC. We told them in the
Technical Working Group that they were heard in the negotiation. PPP is not a takeover
as assets will remain with MIWD.
 Challenges and learning from doing PPP: MIWD used to have insufficient knowledge
on PPP so they had consultants. They studied hard the Joint Venture Guidelines, the
PPP
 Manual for LGUs and the laws pertinent to PPP- Republic Act 5967, the GPRA, and the
BOT Law. MIWD also invited NEDA to explain.
 As to the question of what the private sector need from the LGUs, Mr. Pogoy answered
that they need ordinances to give teeth to JVAs. Ms. Bebet added that our LGUs need
to pass specific ordinances. For example, a septage ordinance that mandates the
desludging of septage every five years.
 Antique informed the group that they have an Investment Incentive Code that can be
shared to the group. They will soon craft the Sanitation Code for the province.
Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM)
 An ordinance created the watershed management council. The LGUs had to

understand the issues and realize that they were connected. The radio program of Ms.
Salas might have helped in bridging the divide. She also conducted workshops with
people in the upstream and the downstream. It was 20 years in the making, creating
the watershed councils.
 Concession provision will set aside fund for the protection and rehabilitation of the
watershed.
 Ms. Juliana Cepe of the Provincial Planning and Development Office of the Province of
Antique shared that Sibalom Waterworks in San Jose, Antique planted 20 hectares in
Sibalom that Sibalom Waterworks in San Jose, Antique planted 20 hectares in Sibalom
and plans to reforest 90 hectares more. The water district employs people who are
tasked to reforest the area.
 Ms. Gozun shared that some water districts allot budget for the rehabilitation and
reforestation of watershed. In the case of San Carlos, she said that P1.00/ cubic meter
is allotted for the watershed care.
11
Water Utilities Operations
 Maintenance of BAWASA. When people are capacitated it is not going to be hard. That
is why Pavia Water Services Cooperative focused on the social capital. They had to
experiment and fine-tune systems and processes. It is a continuous learning process.
 Funding of BAWASA comes from the government. The problem really is sustainability.
To address this issue, Pavia invested on people and created an environment of
ownership. They have a five-member board that is elected by the community. Last year,
they had five (5) general assembly meetings. When they sought funding from the Iloilo
Provincial Capitol, they had a counterpart fund.
 Solve water losses. Disconnection is the penalty for water pilferage. There is a penalty
for MIWD consumers but the concessionaire will have its own policy to address that.
 In some areas, payment for water use is collected on a weekly basis. They make it easy
to pay. In Cabatuan the water service provider makes it easy for members to pay. If a
member dies, the membership fee is retained by the water service provider. During
Christmas they give out gift packs. In Cabatuan, they expanded but had a big problem
so they closed down. But due to their sense of ownership they reopened operation
with the 40 original family-members.
 Juliana O. f Antique: Juliana Cepe from Antique believes that the people must not be
“care-givered” by the government. Sibalom Waterworks provides water to 23
barangays when it used to serve 8 barangays only. 8,000 households benefit from from
their service. There are now only 5 left to be serviced.
Sharing of Best Practices/Technologies on Sanitation
Two workshop participants and one

guest were invited to share their
experiences on sanitation. The two
were Engr. Rene A. Margarico, Engineer
IV, Provincial Engineer’s Office,
Province of Iloilo and Mr. Marlon Ladia,
LGOO II, DILG Region 6. Engr. Noel
Hechanova, the City Environment and
Natural Resources Office chief, was
invited over.
Engr. Margarico informed the body that there is an office in the Iloilo Provincial Capitol
under the Office of the Provincial Engineer that is in charge of WSS since 2010. It is the Rural
Water Supply and Sanitation Program. Thus far, it has served 316 barangays, 11 day care
centers, 3 primary schools, 43 elementary schools and 16 high schools around the province.
All its projects total to P103,389,386.00. By Level, it has installed 65 Level I water system,
141 Level II and 106 Level III water systems already. For 2017, it has a P27 million budget
which barangays or municipalities could access. It has also organized 50 BAWASAs.
It has also conducted several capacity-building trainings and is actively involved in

rainwater harvesting projects. All the LGU has to do is to come up with a resolution seeking
the Capitol’s help for its water-related project. The office will then assess it and if
everything is in order, it will ask the governor’s approval for the project to be implemented.
12
Mr. Ladia introduced the IWASH regional

hub to the participants. It is a resource
center that offers technical capacity
building to LGUs and other institutions. It
is a project of the Department of the
Interior and Local Government in
cooperation with five (5) universities and
an NGO of medical practitioners. It started
in 2013 as Western Visayas Local
Government Resource Center (WVLGRC)
to provide capacity development
interventions to Local Government Units
(LGUs) in water governance. In 2017 alone, it has finished SALINTUBIG projects in five (5)
municipalities and iWaSH sector assessment in Lambunao town.
It offers the following trainings for free: Human Rights-Based Local WATSAN Governance
and Strategic Communications, Water Safety Plan Preparation, Ring Fencing of LGU-Run
WSS Projects, Operations and Maintenance of LGU-run and BWASA-run WSS Projects,
Tariff Setting and Benchmarking, iWaSH Sector Assessment (using the 8 iWaSH Tools),
MW4SP/iWaSH Sector Plan Preparation, Institutionalization of iWaSH Councils and Water
Organizations (LGU, BWASA, Coop).
Engr. Hechanova shared that everything that the CENRO of Iloilo City has accomplished
thus far relative to water supply and sanitation did not need too much money. He said that
it started with LINAW or Local Initiative for Wastewater Treatment, a project of the United
States Aid for International Development (USAID). Then he networked with international
donor agencies like the GTZ and JICA. In 2005, he said, wastewater treatment was so
expensive that you need to have partners so the entry was low cost technology. When they
started, no hospital had a wastewater treatment facility, and after seven (7) years,
everyone already has. Their success, he said, is largely due to their organization. CENRO
has permanent employees and he created programs even if these did not have budgets;
only people. When international donor agencies came, they were impressed that the
CENRO has programs and these agencies helped CENRO financially and technically. CENRO
also had a baseline data to give it directions. An example is the Clean Air Project. When GTZ
came, it was surprised that there was baseline data and some people with the basic
knowledge. And even though CENRO itself has no technical experts, it engaged the help
of three universities for the project. Now it is the only city with an emission data.
3.0 Workshop Results
Facilitating and Hindering Factors in Water Supply and Sanitation
The first break-out session in the workshop is about the facilitating and hindering factors
in Water Supply and Sanitation. Ms Bebet Gozun gave the instructions to the participants
to divide themselves into five (5) groups to tackle the 5 key areas to be evaluated in the
WSS Sector. A summary of the presentations and the comments given by the consultants
are as follows:
13
1 Leadership and Politics
1) Availability of funds 1)There is no policy to sustain the project
2) Some LCEs knowledgeable on WATSAN 2)Personal interest over public interest
3) Support from government as to the 3) Some areas have lack of funds especially
strict implementation of the policies and for small scale water provider
program on water and sanitation program 4)Lack of cooperation among leaders
5) Some stakeholders lack knowledge and
technical skills in various sanitation
2 Capacity
1)Data – annual survey 1) Limited capability building
2)Trainings and skills 2) HR- lack of IEC campaign for Knowledge
3)Barangay and LGU support skills and lack of technical worker
Comments:
 There are two aspects to rules and regulation. Implementation, and if this does not
happen, enforcement follows. The problem is people don’t implement because they
don’t know. That is when the IEC becomes important. We don’t invest enough to
explain the law.
 There is a need for technical training on sanitation for LGUs since not all have technical
knowledge about sanitation. In terms of technical training on sewerage, do we need
to teach every LGU about specific topics to be able to implement SIA sewerage
program or just train one agency who will in turn train the LGU? Build knowledge of the
school so Sanitary graduates understand.
3 Policy and Institutional
1) In WV , strong interagency 1) National policies are not adopted in the
collaboration ( IWASH) local code
2) Strong collaboration for Iloilo 2) Absence of municipal LGU based Watcher
watershed council 3) Lack of ENRO’s
3) Master plans for Jalaur and 4) Water quality monitoring is very low
4) Deputize DENR for water extraction 5) Policy overload – best laws; lack of specific
permitting policies for regions
5) Institutionalized CC data 6) Lack of policy on clearing the waterline on
6) Institutional fund support road bridges
7) Provincial – for rain water harvesting 7) Lack of policy on incentives on water
funded by LGU demand management
8) WDM not institutionalized
9) More study and researches needed
14
4 Funding and Financing
1) Grant from DILG (PCF, Salin tubig – all
grants)
2) Loans – financing institution
Comments:
 In Antique, the government gives toilet bowls but we do not educate the
recipients what to do with their toilet bowls.
 There are regulatory issues that need to be resolved at the national level.
 In the meeting with the new LWUA administrator, they have lowered the interest
rate. They have changed that in the past several decades, LWUA has lowered their
interest rate. They were using foreign financing.
 Are you familiar with Writ of Mandamus? One of the issues, government invest on
that? We took that up in the Supreme Court.
5 Cultural, Behavioural and Attitudinal
1) Massive education campaign thru 1) Poor values and low level of
social media, awareness raising education especially far-flung
and WASH, especially IP they do barangays
not understand WASH 2) Wait and see; Get their
2) Community Participation - sympathy
example – sense of ownership 3) No sense of ownership
and stewardship ; bayanihan 4) Resistance to accept new
system approaches and ideas
3) Respect of culture
Comments:
 The point of view about the IPs. We need to change their way; it might be
disrespectful to the IPs.
 It is a problem when people do not have the knowledge or they have little
knowledge but think they know everything. There is resistance to change. These
are realities that we need to address.
 The whole process of preparing the master plan is not that difficult. We go through
the process together.
Visioning Exercise
For the second breakout session, the provinces and cities were tasked to create their regional
vision for the water supply and sanitation sector. Ms. Bebet Gozun led this activity and asked
the groups to come up with three (3) visions. The results of the visioning activity are
summarized below.
15
Question: What is your water supply vision for your province/city?

Responses
1) Protected and sustainable waster services
Group 1 2) Positive attitude in water usage and sanitation to achieve a healthy
community
3) Affordable and accessible safe water supply
1) Established policies on WATSAN
Group 2
2) Financial stability of WATSAN
3) Healthy community
1) Attainable initiatives
Group 3 2) Appreciation of the community
3) Contented end-users
1) Universal and equitable access to all
Group 4 2) Sustainably-managed infrastructure and natural resources
4) Healthy environment
1) Potable adequate, accessible, affordable, sustainable water supply and
Group 5
sanitation
3) Safely-managed sanitation
1) Adequate clean and safe water
Group 6
2) Affordable and sustainable sanitation
2) Accessible WSS to all
The ad hoc committee presented the draft vision statement which was adopted by the
body. The vision reads: By 2030, water supply and sanitation in Region 6 is universally and
equitably accessible, safe and affordable, sustainably and responsibly managed, through
good environmental governance for a healthy and productive community.
The third breakout session is about the setting of targets of the provinces and cities in
Region 6 to achieve the national target indicated in the Philippine Development Plan. Mr.
Jusi instructed the participants to use the PSA data especially for the population statistics
in order to make all estimations consistent. For water supply, Mr. Jusi underlined the SDG
target that by 2030, everyone should have a universal and equitable access to safe,
affordable and clean water or the presence of only Level 2 and 3 Services.
To guide the participants on estimating and forecasting the investment costs based on
their identified PPAs, Ms. Abarquez provided a quick presentation on the WSS strategies
and reiterated the vision of Region 06 for the sector which is to have universally and
equitably accessible, safe and affordable, sustainably and responsibly managed, through
good environmental governance for a healthy and productive community. She defined the
strategies as the means or general plan of action to achieve the vision. She emphasized
that these should be long-term directed at the attainment of the vision. She then shared
the strategies identified in the PWSSR and PSSR which shall be used as their guide.
Each province was asked to forecast their population and households, project water supply
and basic sanitation access development targets (by HH) by 2022 and 2030 and the
corresponding investments using the WSS toolkits.
16
The following data needed from the provinces/cities are still ongoing and is still being
followed up.
After a series of presentations and workshops, each group (by provinces and cities) were
asked to come up with their draft road maps to include results of the past workshops,
identification of roles of the provinces, strategies and their corresponding policies, list of
proposed programs and projects and the investment requirements for the short-term
(2022) and long-term (2030) implementation. The following tables shows the strategies,
policies, programs and projects to achieve the said targets of the provinces and city
government.

4.0 Closing Session
Engr. Alexander O. Aquio, Supervising Economic Development Specialist of NEDA Region

VI, gave the closing remarks on behalf of the Regional Director, Ro-Ann Bacal. He said that
the three-day acitivity is a cause of rejoicing for the people of Western Visayas because of
three reasons: (1) the master plan for the region is long overdue since the Clean Water Act
of 2004 was passed 12 years ago, (2) the consultants of the NEDA Central Office are highly
experienced and very competent, and (3) the participants have become more informed.
He asked them to facilitate the adoption and practice of the new knowledge and
realizations upon their return to their home provinces/cities. He is optimistic that the
Regional WATSAN Master Plan will be completed by the first quarter of 2018. He thanked
the consultants and the participants.

The Regional Planning Workshop in Region 7: Central Visayas Region for the Formulation of the
Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan was conducted on April 23-25, 2018 at the Cebu
Parklane International Hotel, N. Escario St., Cebu City, 6000 Cebu. The 3-day activity was led by the
consultants from EDCOP, Tractebel, and OIDCI, who were contracted by the National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA).
The Regional Planning Workshop aims to gather the stakeholders from the island provinces belonging
to the Central Visayas Region consisting of four provinces (Cebu, Bohol, Negros Oriental and Siquijor)
and three highly urbanized cities (Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue). The workshop served as venue
to discuss, interact, and share insights on the water supply and sanitation situation (WSS) of the region.

2. OPENING SESSION
2.1 Welcome Remarks by NEDA Regional Director Efren B. Carreon
NEDA Regional Director Efren B. Carreon welcomed and thanked the participants for their attendance
to the three-day regional planning workshop. He acknowledged the presence of the participants from
the provinces, cities, regional agencies, water service providers, and academe. RD Carreon is looking
forward to focused discussions on the issues, concerns, and formulating strategies and priorities of
the region for the sector to address the targets set out in the sector per Sustainable Development
Goals, and Philippine Development Plan. To support the sector targets identified in the SDG and PDP,
the regional development plan also identified the following strategies that aim to contribute to the
achievement of the targets: (1) increase investments in new water resources, (2) creation of a lead
agency to coordinate the development and management of water resources, (3) adapting policies and
technologies for sustainable water use and cost effective technologies to extend service to rural areas,
and (4) promoting private sector participation in water development.
RD Carreon expects the participants to actively contribute to the sessions that will serve as inputs to
the national sector master plan. The sector is very important in Central Visayas as the region’s
economic development has been contributing substantially to the country’s growth, this also means
that economic growth in the industries in Central Visayas mean that demand for the sector is
increasing. This workshop is therefore a good avenue to identify targets and strategies that will help
our region and the country.

The group conducted an activity that served as a getting to know activity, ice breaker, and introduction
of participants. Mr. Theo Demaisip, Public Participation Specialist and Monitoring and Evaluation
Specialist of the team facilitated the activity that focused on types of planners.

3. PRESENTATIONS
Ms. Pauline Palacio, Project Coordinator, presented the government’s commitment to provide safe,
97.46% (Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022), as well as the long-term target of realizing universal
and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and adequate and equitable sanitation
(Sustainable Development Goals 2030).
Discussion:
• DILG 7: DILG is also preparing Municipal Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Plans, which is a
requirement before we can avail of LGSF fund. Why is hygiene not included in the PWSSMP
objectives when we are told to integrate i-WASH in our plans?
• Consultant: We are not making a national master plan for hygiene, rather it is integrated as
a form of strategy for achieving sanitation targets. It is just that DILG is using an i-WASH
approach. The output of this project is a national master plan that is composed of the sector
development plans from cities, municipalities, and provinces.
Page 4 of 46
• Private sector (Lito Maderazo): I would like to inquire the status of your water supply
assessment in Iloilo, Masbate, and Agusan del Norte since we are private sector operators in
these areas and we would like to share our data with you.
• Consultant: Our sub-team was responsible for the Masbate assessment, per our site visit we
noted that the source is surface water and operators are mostly water districts.
• Private sector: We had a problem in one municipality in Masbate, so we had to stop our
operations there. But we would like to volunteer our data for the three provinces.
• CSO (Evelyn Nacario-Castro): How did you select the provinces for the water supply
assessment, and why was Cebu not included when water supply is very crucial in the area
given the rapidly growing economies and industries?
• Consultant: The three provinces were selected following pre-selected criteria. Cebu was not
included because there are already a lot of operators, technical assistance, and interventions
in the area targeting provision of water supply. However, we recognize that Cebu is water
stressed that is why the workshop will be the venue for the detailed assessment.
• MIWASCO: As a cooperative serving 9 barangays, we want to expand to serve 6 more

barangays. Can we access the UFF?
• Consultant: UFF is a national government initiative that will facilitate download funds from
national to local. The cooperative can work with the LGU to be able to access the available
funds. More detailed discussion will be on the 3rd day.
• University of San Carlos: I’ve attended DILG’s workshops for development of regional hubs. I
would like to inquire if there is an overlap in the initiatives of NEDA and DILG? In my opinion,
DILG has a wider scope because local government is included.
• Consultant: We acknowledge that there is an overlap and duplication of efforts in the water
supply and sanitation sector. The recommendation in the water supply and sanitation
roadmaps is the appointment of an overall apex body to manage the sector. For example in
the sanitation sector: DILG requires LGUs to submit the MW4SP, DOH requires local
sustainable plan, and LWUA requires a WSS business plan; these plans are all related to
sanitation in the respective areas.
• RD Carreon: I would like to inform the study team and the participants that NWRB is
currently conducting a water resources assessment in Metro Cebu and Metro Tagbilaran. The
data can complement the outputs of the NEDA and NWRB.
• Consultant: The team is consulting with NWRB regarding data that can be adapted in the
masterplan.

was noted.
The water supply and sanitation sector situation of the Central Visayas Region were presented by the
DENR 7 for water supply, and DOH 7 for sanitation, while the provincial water supply and sanitation
sector situationer were prepared by the respective planning or health officers.
According to the Central Visayas Regional Development Plan, the region has the highest average GRDP
growth rate and is among the fast-growing regions in the country. In terms of water supply projects,
the region aims to develop water supply projects to support the production sector including
identification of water supply sources, and development and protection of surface and ground water.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the main source of water supply for almost half of the
region’s population is own use faucet. The figure below illustrates the different sources:
Page 7 of 46
In terms of water districts, there are 33 water districts in the region, where 20 are operational and 13
are non-operational as summarized in the table below.
In terms of sanitation, Region 7 has 8.5% of its population practicing open defecation.
Discussion:
Page 8 of 46
• Bohol Province: The data reported by the DENR does not reflect the actual data that the
province (Bohol) submitted to the NWRB through the Listahang Tubig. We have just updated
the database with recent data.
• DENR: The data reported are not updated, we only report data that was provided to us.
• NEDA RD: This is an example of a challenge in the sector, agencies are uncoordinated and data
is not shared equally.
• DENR: We have just been deputized by the NWRB. These functions include:
1. Accept/veriff water permit applications (WPAs); 2. Conduct continuing inventory of water
users; 3. Identifr water sources and make a water sources inventory map; 4. Conduct
information, education and communication (IEC) campaign on the Water Code of the
Philippines and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) to key stakeholders in
collaboration with NWRB; 5. Conduct re-echo training for PENROs and CENROs and
coordination meeting with other deputized agents in the area; and 6. Perform such other
related activities as may be specifically assigned to it in accordance with the Water Code that
may be agreed by the parties.
Sanitation
Engr. Jay Tecson, Principal Sanitation Specialist, gave a presentation on sanitation concepts,
approaches, and strategies. The presentation explained the concepts and definitions associated
in sanitation particularly on the difference of septage and sewerage. Some of the other terms
defined included wastewater and fecal sludge management, sewerage system and septage
management. Likewise, he discussed several sanitation interventions such as the use of
engineering solutions, simple technologies and adoption of personal hygiene practices. He further
elaborated the F-diagram transmission routes where people can get water-borne diseases due to
fecal oral transmission. He underlined that everyone shall have to comply with the SDG targets by
2030 and shared the three main ways listed to meet the criteria for having a safely-managed
sanitation service: (a) people should use improved sanitation facilities which are not shared with
other households and the excreta produced should either be treated and disposed of in situ; (b)
fecal wastes should be stored temporarily, emptied and transported to treatment off-site or; (c)
transported through a sewer with wastewater then treated off-site.

3.7 Preparing the Investment Program and Financing Plan (Unified Financing
Framework)
Ms Evelyn Orda presented some slides explaining the unified financing framework. There are
significant gaps in service coverage and quality despite national strategies in place to increase water
supply and sanitation coverage. Ms. Orda presented the constraints including the fragmented
institutional set-up and weak support agencies; and insufficient funding to reach the national targets.
The recognition of these challenges led to the preparation of a unified financing policy coupled with
regulation and institutional measures.
Ms. Orda explained the following key messages:
1. PPP is an option for financing infrastructure projects in water.

2. For PPP to be an effective tool for improving service and benefiting consumers, it has to
operate under an environment where there is a strong and independent regulatory
framework.
3. The first PPP in the water district with benefit of a transaction review was successfully
undertaken and is under review of OGCC
4. Government (NEDA) is aware of what needs to be done and is now looking at some of these
issues in the PWSSMP.
Key findings and lessons learned:
1. On Regulation of PPP initiatives

• LWUA’s role as regulator of unsolicited JV transactions involving WDs is not clear
• There are no guidelines that require review except for EO 68 (applies to BOT and similar
undertaking)
• Lack of fully developed guidelines for WDs in handling PPP proposals
2. On Governance and Transparency- potential conflict of interest as members of JVSC and
negotiating team are potential employees of the proponent.
3. On the PPP Modality - most opt to go the unsolicited JV way as this does not require further
review/approval if govt contribution is less than 150 M PhP. Only WD Board approval is
required
Page 10 of 46
4. On the Process and Procedures

• No specific timeline for the entire process as per JV guidelines – may result to a long period
(as of end of April 2017) – 28 months for MIWD (and still not finished)
• Some of the time allocation in the NEDA guidelines are not sufficient for certain tasks
• There are no clear guidelines on cost recovery and tariff setting methodology to be used.
5. On the Required documentation – lack of clarity on required documents to be submitted in
case of unsolicited proposal. Guidelines need to be more specific on what constitutes a
proposal.

inquired:
• What does the WSS sector in Region 7 look like in 2030?


Region as follows:
“By 2030, every person in Central Visayas has sustained and equitable access to safe, adequate,
and affordable water supply and sanitation services through the active participation of
communities in environmentally-sound and technologically innovative water and sanitation
management as responsible stewards of a vibrant environment.”

Supply Specialist, and Engr. Jay Tecson, Principal Sanitation Specialist introduced the WSS toolkits
developed by the consultants for the setting of WSS targets.
safe, affordable and clean water or the presence of only Level 2 and 3 services. For sanitation, the
target is 97% improved sanitation facility by 2022, and universal access to improved sanitation by 2030.

 Ground water sources are discouraged to avoid salt water

intrusion/ maintain reserved groundwater and other
environmental reasons
 Surface water will be tapped because:
✓ Abundant, Reliable, Economically viable for potential investors
 Potential investors will supply bulk water (tapping, development
and supply), however, may engage in distribution of water with the
concurrence of the LGU/ Water District concerned
 LGUs and Water Districts will remain as the water distributor to
consumers unless will enter into other agreements

The formulation of the master plan has been covering various activities such as organization and
planning, sector assessment and regional visioning, strategy and operational plan formulation
through the conduct of nationwide regional workshops, formulation of the master plan and
knowledge, management, information, dissemination and training. Adhering to the principles of
ownership and participation, activities like sector assessment, regional visioning and operational
planning the formulation has been noted to be an affirmation of the bottom-up approach to
planning. it recognizes the collective roles of all stakeholders in coming up with an in-depth
assessment of the water supply and sanitation as well as sound and fitting strategies, policies ,
programs and projects for the water supply and sanitation in the country from national to local level

PART 2- PROCEEDINGS AND OUTPUTS

DAY 1, FEBRUARY 6, 2018
The first day of the Planning Workshop started with preliminaries in the morning that include singing
of national anthem , opening prayer , opening message and introduction of resource persons and
participants. This was facilitated by the team’s participation expert, Mr. Leo de Castro. Atty.
Bonifacio G. Uy, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) – Region VIII Regional
Director (RD), welcomed the workshop participants from LGUs, water districts, line agencies, private
sectors and the academe. Atty. Uy emphasized the importance of water supply and sanitation citing
alongside some of his experiences in helping towards the improvement of access in this sector. He
particularly highlighted the issue on water inadequacy in the region especially in the premier city of
Tacloban. He also mentioned about the effects of this issue on tourism. He even cited in one of his
meetings with Ormoc City Mayor Richard Gomez, that the latter mentioned about the notable issues
on water supply in the city and the possible solution to utilize Lake Danao as a source of water
supply. This however needs to be checked and be properly planned out.
“Water supply and sanitation is a BIG Issue. Atty Uy added. One of the main questions that he
pointed out was, “Who has the mandate and responsibility to provide these facilities?” He then
requested everyone to think and find the answer to the question he tossed. He ended his message
by encouraging the participants to take the workshop seriously and take this opportunity to share,
discuss and address the existing problems in their respective areas. He then affirmed that it is good
to come up with projects that will serve as a solution to these issues
The Opening message of the NEDA R8 Regional Director was followed by the introduction of
participants. Afterwards, expectation setting comes next and this was facilitated by Ms. Joyce
Gonzaga. Three areas of expectations was given by Ms. Gonzaga to be considered by participants

After processing the expectations, the facilitator matched them with the workshop objectives. They
had the assurance then that expectations were about to be achieved the appropriate
process/methodology that shall be used, informative inputs/handles to be provided and the
available an expertise, manner and attitudes of resources persons and participants. Further, the
workshop design/program of activities was presented by Mr. Leo de Castro to guide everyone on the
objectives and workshop flow.
2. Workshop Proper
focused on understanding the context of water supply and sanitation as well as getting a good grasp
of situationer of water supply and sanitation from national, regional and provincial level. This
module has also covered an in-depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors in ensuring
better access to water supply and sanitation. Five sessions therefore were covered in this module
and this include: 1) Overview of the PWSSMP Project, 2) Introduction to the Philippine Water Supply
and Sanitation (WSS) Sector, 3) Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation, 4) presentation of
WSS situationer from the provinces, 5) in depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors for
water supply and sanitation, and 6) basic definitions on water supply and sanitation.
Session 1. Overview of the PWSSMP Project
 The overview on the PWSSMP was given by Engr. Noel Ortigas, Team Leader. Below are the
key points of his talk :
 Water supply and sanitation cannot be separated into different aspects, quoting, “Whatever
we take in, we have to discharge.”
 Supply and demand statistics including the national growth rate and population projections
over the next years, will serve as a strong basis to determine the gaps and issues on water
 The challenge is to find strategies, find ways to close the supply and demand gap, and at the
same time, manage it. Let’s not wait for the critical water supply stress to show up.
 The Phil Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan is an action plan to close the gap with
corresponding investment and financing program to execute the PWSRR and PSSR and put
targets for water and sanitation into realization.
 The Philippine Development Plan 2022 ensures that there is an increase in the access of safe
water supply to 05 95.16 percent and increase in access to basic sanitation to 97.46 percent.
 The plan is strongly anchored on the Sustainable Development Goals 2030- Universal and
equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and access to adequate and equitable
sanitation.
 The Philippine Government is highly committed to provide safe, clean water and sanitation
services for all through the formulation of PWSSMP. Anchoring on the Philippine/Regional

national objectives.
master plan and knowledge, management, information, dissemination and training. The
project is expected to produce National Master Plan and 16 Regional Master Plans.
Highlights of this master plan include e: PWSS Vision, strategies, programs and projects and
operational action plans along with the investment requirements, time-line and
 The project is already in the fifth month with the Inception Report and Sector Assessment
Report done).
Session 2. Introduction to the Philippine WSS Sector
Engr. Dondi Alikpala, Institutional Specialist, presented and discussed the Philippine Water Supply
and Sanitation Sector. The key points of his talk are the following:
 Water is important. We need volumes of water supply now and more in the coming years.”
He also stressed out the reality on the continuous increase of the population and the need
for water.
 There is a need of finding an exceptional LGU water provider in the region to help in
ensuring adequate supply of water as the sector is faced with an issue of increasing demand
for water supply.
 Water supply and sanitation data include levels of water supply services, classifications of
sanitation and sewerage systems, population, supply and demand statistics.
 Sanitation is faced with a challenge of dislodging wastes and this should always be brought
to a treatment plant.
 Some of the issues affecting the issues and challenging affecting the sector are the following
:
 low percentage of the Philippine population that has access to water supply
 Presence of policies but absence of national agencies that will make them happen
 Health and environmental issues.
 “It’s going to be you [participants]. You have to look at it [water supply and sanitation
statistics] from your specific areas, not from the generalized national data”
 The statistics on water supply of Eastern Visayas Region is below than that of the national
average.

Session 3. Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation
This session is the first part of the assessment process and this include three presentations crucial to
the assessment of the over-all context of water supply and sanitation from the provincial up to the
regional settings. In this session, participants were able to familiarize and refresh themselves with
disturbing gaps and issues affecting their efforts to increase access to water supply and sanitation.
2.1 Presentation per Province – Water Supply and Sanitation Situationer
The presentations of water supply and sanitation situationer from all provinces, including Tacloban
City, and Ormoc City have three key points presented such as the following:
 Statistical data related to water supply and sanitation

 Population projections
 Data on the population with access to safe water and sanitation facilities
Below are the key points presented from provinces and cities?
Province /City Comments and Suggestions

 Need for more data gathering especially on the number of
persons affected before and after Yolanda hit Tacloban as well
as on the number of water sources each municipality has.
Leyte
 Leyte is aggressive on developing the industrial zones and the
province hope for a better set of data on water supply for
industrial zones.
 Include the capacities of each of the sources for easy correlation
Southern Leyte to the water demand of each source.
 Take note on the critical findings/variables because this will be
their anchor and basis on critical assessment later on.
 Data on the population with access to toilet facilities presented
have to be validated as well as data on related common diseases
Samar
in the province
 Numbers lead to a certain situation; thus, there is a suggestion
to include the situation and the factors affecting it.
Northern Samar  Data on the water supply level be on a barangay/household
basis needs to be updated
 The province has a unique parameter to plan (considering the
province is an island) – with its large access to water;
Biliran
 Take into consideration the capacity of the island’s water
resources and clarify up to what level can it sustain the increase
in population and water demand.
 There might be confusion on the data on the levels of services
 Be clarified about the classification of refilling stations as a level
3 services as some households have their own refilling stations.
 There is the advantage of a pipe system without going through
Eastern Samar
refilling stations.
 Most of us rely on water from refilling stations and it is a reality
that we do not trust on tap water today.
 The testing of tap water are done daily; but, refilling stations
conduct testing only if checked by the sanitation department.
7|Page
Province /City Comments and Suggestions
So, there are still some who use tap water instead of bottled
water or water from refilling stations.
 Rain harvesting methods are being utilized in the city for
Tacloban City agricultural purposes.
 doubts on the city’s becoming of a COD city because of the low
percentage on the available sanitation facilities
 The report of presented some clarifications on the statistical
data given by each province.
 Presentation include : regional-based data related to water
supply and demand, population projections, population with
access to safe water, and comparisons to the national statistics
were presented.
 Water districts need to gather data on water sources and other
NEDA Region 8 related data from agencies like NIA, etc.
 There is problem on utilizing their water sources due to lack of
facilities.
 Water management be considered
 There are mechanisms of the water and power industries on
subsidies and loss, that can be tapped
 Conduct comprehensive flood studies in all provinces to help in
the flood mapping of their respective areas.
As a wrap up and synthesis to the presentation and provincial data and statistics, Ms. Joyce Gonzaga
gave some handles on data appreciation, interpretation, analysis and management. The key points
of her inputs are the following:
 There are two types of data : 1) Quantitative Data ---- numbers, percentage ( quantitative
measurements) --- needs scientific interpretation and inference and 2) Qualitative -----
Descriptive and narrative ( perceptions, opinions, biases and ideas )
 Data sets are gauged according to: 1) Relevance: logical relationships-- are they close/closer
to the main subject (sorted data, b) ) Scope ( data coverage : area, age, gender, color, sizes
and other forms of categorization), 3) Magnitude : (depth : how serious ? How grave? , )
4)Urgency ( burden, and ) : life and death situations; needs immediate attention , and
Importance : close to being relevant ; strategic priority, target priority
 Data appreciation, interpretation, analysis and conclusion is best done by a CRITICAL MIND.

MODULE 2- WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Session 1- Vision Setting
Module 2 for Day 1 continued and it also tackled the question, WHERE DO WE FROM HERE? In this
module, the Vision setting took place. Some handles were given by the facilitator to refresh and
guide participants how to craft a Vision. Key points for the handles are the following:
 Your vision is your dream- It's what your program/organization believes are the ideal
conditions for your community; that is, how things would look if the issue important to you
were completely, perfectly addressed. Eg. “be a world without war” and “ a community in
which all people are treated as equals, regardless of gender or racial background.”
 A vision is well articulated by short phrases or sentences that convey your community's
hopes for the future.
11 | P a g e
 Vision statements should be understood and shared by members of the community. It is
broad enough to include a diverse variety of local perspectives, inspiring and uplifting to
everyone involved in your effort, and easy to communicate - for example, they are
generally short enough to fit on a T-shirt
The participants were grouped by province (6), HUC (1) and government agency (1). They were then
instructed to visualize their dreams or desired future on water and water and sanitation, and draw
them on a manila paper. Then, each group presented each of their drawings. Afterwards, A
representative from each group was chosen to be part of the visioning group, which is tasked to
meet, discuss and create a regional vision.
Below is the crafted Eastern Visayas WSS Vision
“Full access to Sustainable Safe Water in Eastern Visayas”

Session 2- WSS Target Setting
Water Supply
Engr. Edward Cruz, water supply engineer, presented the national WSS targets for water supply and
sanitation. He gave an introduction on the spreadsheets that will be used as a guide for:
 Population Projection,
 Rural and Urban Classifications,
 Water Supply Statistics, and
 Project Costs.
Sanitation
Engr. Philip Diokno, sanitation engineer, presented the national targets on sanitation and clarified
about the definitions on toilet classifications as questioned by a representative from NEDA R8. He
gave an introduction on the spreadsheets to be used as guide for:
 Sanitation statistics,
 Costing estimations,
 Land classifications, and
 others.
Below is the summary of the water supply and sanitation targets of the provinces and cities.

DAY 2, FEBRUARY 7, 2018
 Engr. Edward Cruz discussed about water supply strategies in urban and rural settings. He
included in his presentation some strategies in the development of the water supply sector:
 Strengthening Water Supply Sector Institutions

 Developing Capacities for Water Supply Services
 Building Strategic Alliances – collaboration with different institutions and agencies
14 | P a g e
 Adequate Infrastructure Provisions – financing, source development and water
supply distribution
 Mr. Leo de Castro discussed about the national sanitation plan, national targets and goals.
He included in his presentation some strategies in the development of the sanitation sector:
 Responsive Sanitation Governance and Strengthened Regularity Mechanism
 Service Delivery through Communications and Capacity Development
 Strengthened Strategic Alliances
 Financing and Infrastructure Provision
 Emergency Sanitation Response in Place
 There was a suggestions that the national plan be made available for every region for every
region. There should be also allocations of facilities during and allocate facilities, and plan to
segregate and allocate dislodging trucks to designated areas.
 Engr. Ortigas said that it is possible but, the question directs to the sustainability after the
project is finished. “To initiate change, you need a catalyst for it.” Engr. Ortigas added.
Representatives from different sectors agreed and shared about the importance of effort to
sustain these elements.
MODULE 3 - HOW DO WE GET THERE?
This part of the session is considered as the main course of the activity s this is envisioned to give
substantial clarity on how the regional Vision on water Supply and Sanitation should take place. This
was facilitated by Ms. Joyce Gonzaga wherein she gave some basic handles first on how to formulate
and configure strategies.
anchor needs to move forward and be able to guide in the formulation of strategies. This session is
divided into three parts that include: 1) Presentation of Sanitation Strategies to Rural and Urban
setting, 2) Presentation of models and initiatives done in relation to ensuring access and 3)
configuring the strategies after in-depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors.
The facilitator gave first the basic handles on strategy configuration and formulation. Key points
discussed are the following:
 Strategies are general approaches applicable to urban and rural context of ensuring access
to water supply and sanitation
 Strategies are needed to achieve the regional water supply and sanitation sector vision
 To configure strategies, it must be drawn out from the in-depth analyses of hindering and
facilitating factors. It is facing the question, how are you going to make sense of the situation
given that gaps and positive factors present.
 Strategic Statements are the results of configuration. From the statements, a strategy is
formulated. For example :
Strategic Statement:
15 | P a g e
Enhance skills and competencies of Sanitary Inspectors to improve their performance
Strategy: Capability Building
 Indicators or evidences of achievement of strategies are known as Key Result Areas
The facilitator presented and discussed the following steps to configure strategies:
1. Revisit water supply and sanitation assessment. What are the compelling issues that may widen
the existing gaps?
2. HOW DO YOU NARROW DOWN THE GAPS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE VISION? Strategize (to
address the challenge)
2.1. From the Roadmap presented, select strategies/strategic outcomes which you think applicable
and relevant to your context
2.2. From the presentation of models, initiatives and best practices, what are the compelling lessons
of effective strategies that you can use or apply in your context (province)?
2.3. From your assessment of regional hindering factors, strengths/ opportunities. How will you
make use of them ?
2.4 Road Map or Master Plan development is a is a left, center to right planning
• LEFT … situational assessment
• CENTER… Visioning
• RIGHT… Strategy Formulation and KRAs formulation, policy formulation (if needed ),

The last instruction was given to participants and that is to complete the story of from left to right
planning that include strategies , key result areas, policies, programs and projects, activities, time-
line, investment requirements and implementation arrangements
Afterwards, participants were divided into groups according to provinces. Guided by the resource
persons’ and facilitators’ inputs, they all crafted their respective Provincial Strategies to translate the

Additional Sessions:
After the strategy configuration, two additional inputs were given to enrich further the knowledge
required by water supply and sanitation.
Session A. Basic Water Supply Development
After the strategy configuration, two additional inputs Engr. Edward Cruz were given to enrich
further the knowledge required by water supply and sanitation.
 The water cycle, watersheds, and many other topics about water. He presented population
projections for Region VIII and also the water supply and demand projections. One point
that he gave emphasis on was the water supply system and expounded the idea that there
are many water sources that the region could utilize.
 Concepts on water supply were also discussed. The definitions and inclusions for each level
of service. Water demand, potential water sources, water treatment, sustainable water
supply system requirements, planning processes, and approaches on water supply
development were tackled.
 Water supply development practices were introduced:

 Twinning, and
 Ring-fencing.
Session B. Basic Sanitation Development
Engr. Philip Diokno, sanitation engineer, gave a brief introduction on the basic information about
sanitation development.
 The Philippines is faced with various sanitation issues and challenges. Sanitation c
interventions situation, SDGs, sanitation access, possible technologies and sanitation
treatment were then briefly discussed such as the following :
18 | P a g e
 Engineering Solutions
 Hygienic Practices
 Simple Technologies
 Moreover, sanitation and SDGs and approaches were also tackled :
SDG s
 Such as Improved Sanitation Facilities
 Safely-Managed Sanitation Service
 Basic Sanitation Service
 Limited Service
Approaches:
 Natural vs Mechanized System
 Onsite vs Offsite Systems
 Centralized vs Decentralized Systems
 Drainage vs Sewerage System
Session C. – Why Sanitation and Hygiene Matter?
The significance of hygiene and sanitation was merely emphasized in the presentation of Mr. Leo de
Castro. He presented some reasons why they matter and cite current statistics on sanitation trends.
Key issues and constraints were identified:
 Lack of a large-scale, comprehensive sanitation program

 Poor demand for sanitation
 Weak and incoherent supply chain
 Affordability constraints
 Equity Issue
Mr. de Castro Leo stressed that there is a large number of population that uses open defecation in
Region VIII. In addition, he showed statistics on sanitation access (rural and urban). Topics on
community-led total sanitation, toilet acquisition, options for toilet models (super-structured & sub-
structured) and implementation strategies were also discussed.
Implementation Strategies:
 G0: Open Defecation
 G1: Zero Open Defecation
 G2: Sustainable Sanitation Barangays
 G3: Total Sanitation Barangays
Key Insights:
Day 2 ended with a brief synthesis of all session given as well as the outputs accomplished during
workshops. House rules and some reminded were also emphasized again.

DAY 3, February 8, 2018
MODULE 4 - KEY RESULT AREAS POLICIES, PROGRAMS, PROJECTS, ACTIVITIES, TIME-LINE,

INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS AND IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS
Participants have also identified Key Result Areas, Policies, Programs, Projects, Activities, Investment
Requirements, Time-line and Implementation Arrangements anchored on the Regional Vision, and
the strategies they have formulated for their respective provinces. (Please see Annex 3
Additional Sessions:
Session D. Inputs on Financial Aspects
 Engr. Elisa Cruz, financial analyst, was tasked to discuss about identifying key programs and
projects, investment programs and implementation arrangements. “Financing is a very
critical component when it comes to project implementation.” She quoted, as she identified
key point areas and discussed about the implementation of key programs and projects. She
also emphasized the importance on focusing on results rather than activities. “Kailangan
niyo ang tulong ng iba. ‘Wag niyong solohin.”
KRAs prepared should be SMART:

 S-specific
 M-measurable
 A-attainable
 R-relevant
 T-time-bound
 The financial analyst gave a brief description about Government Financing Institutions (GFIs),
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), Office Development Assistance (ODAs) and Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs). She said that customer satisfaction should always be the
result.
 She also discussed that KRA is a major concern for region /province as LGUs are expected to
invest their energy, time and talent during their period of commitment. This kind of
investment must be gauged in order to determine the effectiveness of strategies formulated
and implemented.
DAY 4 , FEBRUARY 8,2018
The last day of the workshop had the sharing of best practices from two agencies (DILG and DOH)
on WSS and Moving forward/ Clsong Program
DILG gave a PowerPoint presentation on SalinTubig and other water projects followed by DOH on its
best practices and service delivery that include : 1) Supplying of reagents to provinces,National
Search for Barangay with Best Sanitation Program (NSBBSP) and Community-Led Total Sanitation
(CTS) Approach.
A wrap up and Synthesis of all the sessions and outputs was done by the facilitator Ms. Joyce
Gonzaga.
Key points that she presented are the following :
20 | P a g e
 The process made a very meaningful impact to everyone as no one was left behind . All the
inputs given, ideas and insights shared as well as outputs have indeed helped in defining the
directions of water supply and sanitation in the region.
 Strategy configuration /formulation gave a value-adding perspective and approaches as

everyone were pushed to be critical in their thinking processes and ensure that strategies
have a fit to the issues and challenges identified.
 At the end of the workshop, everyone is challenge to develop a fitting operational

framework and plan of actions to ensure that the well thought of strategies are
substantiated as it elevates itself to be facilitating forces to achieve the sanitation Vision in
the region.
 Implementation is always the non-negotiable challenge after the roadmap has been done.
Capacity drives helps implementation challenge to be addressed. It is therefore apt and
proper to put capacity development at the forefront of WSS implementation.
Part 3- MOVING FORWARD AND CLOSING PROGRAM
Engr. Edward Cruz led the “Way Forward” session and asked the participants from the different
sectors to give their statements for how to continue the master plan after the workshop as well as
their insights and learnings to the plan formulation. Some of the key points mentioned in moving
forward are the following:
 Go back to their respective provinces and re-validate existing data to ensure proper WSS
targeting and be guided by the newly formulated regional plan
 Recognize the role of the private sector as it has to be ensured that their role is fully
mainstreamed into the implementation arrangements.
 Gratitude to everyone for the commitment and dedication to finish a tedious and detailed
process planning especially to the team
A brief closing ceremony took place after the sharing of thought and insights on how to move
forward. The Assistant Regional Director of NEDA Region 8, Ms. Meylene Rosales, gave the closing
remarks. She congratulated all the participants and the organizers for the success of the workshop.
“Water is the most important thing in the universe yet, it is the most taken for granted. We cannot
imagine life without water.” she said while sharing her experiences on water and sanitation. She
ended her message by pointing out goals for the region and encouraging the participants to move
forward and work hard to achieve these goals. “We cannot last days without water.” she closed.

She expressed her gratitude to everyone who came for the workshop. She also expressed her
happiness because this kind workshop is the first time in the region wherein the NEDA Region
1X is being involved in the Formulation of the Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan.
She also expressed that even in the local level, this approach is very important because the region
still needs clear development plan in water supply and sanitation. In fact just be very truthful in
their Regional Development Plan the treatment on the water sanitation wasn’t that deep because
they depend all the inputs in the local levels. Normally they just make assessment of the issues
and concerns to respond the needs. Ms. Coco believed that there’s more technical ways of
probing and looking into this different issues and concerns and identify what is really need to be
done aligned in the regional vision
Ms. Coco was hoping that on top of the road map as the output , the workshop can give a lot of
things for the region and that include enhancement of the technical expertise and the meeting of
the expectations in the workshop. She emphasized once again the value of ownership and she
encouraged participants to actively participate in the workshop.
She added that the objectives in the Regional Planning Workshop needs efforts to bring in the
National level it should be well integrated so that we will also know the place of Region IX in the
Master Plan. She added that Water Supply and Sanitation Sector is faced with a lot of issues that
the NEDA recognized. Ms. Coco also emphasized that NEDA only facilitate and coordinate in the
planning process. Lastly Ms. Coco hoped to attain the objectives of the 3 day planning workshop
so that it can help to create a Regional Master Plan and be integrated at the to the National level.

2. Workshop Proper
picture of the water supply and sanitation from national, regional and provincial level. This module
has also covered an in-depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors in ensuring better
access to water supply and sanitation. Five sessions therefore were covered in this module and
this include: 1) Overview of the PWSSMP Project, 2) Introduction to the Philippine Water Supply
and Sanitation (WSS) Sector, 3) Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation, 4) presentation
of WSS situationer from the provinces, 5) in depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors
for water supply and sanitation, and 6) basic definitions on water supply and sanitation.
Ms. Joyce Gonzaga, Project Facilitator gave the overview of the PWSSMP Workshop. She
mentioned that workshops is ongoing wherein there are 3 groups conducting a Regional
Workshop as part of the Master Planning on the Water Supply and. Ms. Gonzaga has also
discussed the scope or the objectives of the workshops that augment data gathering on current
situation and propose programs so that it can attain a clearer understanding on how to develop
regional strategies make them the bases for development of Philippine WSS roadmap. Likewise
she also mention the following for discussion:
Discussion of the desired output was also included:
1. WSS Sector Situationer

2. WSS Sector Vision (2030)
3. Strategies and Key Results Areas
5. Priority Projects (per Program)
 Ms. Joyce Gonzaga has also given some inputs empas that emphasized the logic pf
planning. This is all about the left, center to Right planning. Left planning is the situational
analysis and the right is the regional vision setting. The left are the ways on how to address
the issues and challenges through coming up with strategies, programs and projects and
all the elements of the action planning.
 The workshop flow is best explained by the tackling down all the workshop modules that
include: M1- Where are we now?, M2-Where do we go from here, M3: How do we get
there = Formulating Strategies, M4: Key Policies, Programs, and Projects and M5:
Capacity Assessment,-Identifying capacity requirements in support of the Regional Master
Plan, M6: Way Forward / Follow-up Actions needed to complete the RMP.

Engr. Noel Ortigas, the Team Leader, gave an overview on the PWSSMP. He discussed the
objectives of the project up to program of activities. The Master Planning therefore according to
him this projects requires us to do an action plan corresponding investment and financing program
to execute Philippine water supply and sanitation sector roadmap PWSSR and Philippine
Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap are important. PSSR is also to put the targets for water supply
and sanitation into realization.
Presentations were given by the provinces of Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga Sibugay,
Zamboanga del Sur. Zamboanga City and other cities like Pagadian City, Dipolog City, and
Dapitan City and Isabela City also presented their WSS Situation. The NEDA Region IX also
presented the Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation. The key points in the presentation
include:
 Statistical data related to water supply and sanitation
 Population projections
 Data on the population with access to safe water and sanitation facilities
1. Zamboanga del Norte
Mr. Restie “Res” S. Kyamko, the Sanitation Inspector IV of Provincial Health Office presented
and discussed about the reliability/availability of water supply. Data on the population with
access to toilet facilities were presented. Also included in the presentation are the water and
sanitation related common diseases in the province. And he presented that t the provincial
situation of their province follow the actual sanitation situation of the Households because
some of the data of planning offices/ municipal offices were already projected using
household.
2. Zamboanga Sibugay
Mr. Maximino “Max” G. Reganion, the Project Evaluation Officer of PPDO and Mr. Nelson
“Nel” B. Sayson, the Supervising Sanitation Inspector of PHO have presented the households
that have access to water supply. The type of service are also included as well as the data on
the quality and reliability/availability of water. Likewise, related common diseases were
mentioned as well as the data on the population with access to safe water and sanitation
facilities.
3. Zamboanga City
Ms. Joy P. Sese, the Sanitation Inspector of City Health Office showed first the profile of their
city followed by a presentation on the Sanitation situation as of 2017 as shown by their
Indicator which is the percentage of Households with access to safe water and Households
with Sanitary Toilet Facilities. She added that in some coastal areas, communities are still
practicing open defecation. Moreover the Health Statistics of 2017I shows the leading causes
of illness.
Also presented is the Sanitation, Septage/Sewerage Programs like Water and Sanitation
Hygiene in Schools, conduct of the Information Education, and Communication in
7|Page
Plan
communities as well as evaluation of sanitary plan. There is an established Septage

Management System in the city and they also have also 3 private disludger but only 2 are
active because of permitting issues. Currently, they are also implementing a Sewerage
Treatment Plant of Zamboanga City Water Districts but as of now it was still on a bidding
process.
Comments and Insights:
 Mr. Leo de Castro observed how they can achieve or accomplish the target of the Water
Supply and Sanitation until 2030 if terms or definition are vary?
 Engr. Noel Ortigas ask the Zamboanga City about some of their service providers if they
collect the sewage. He ask then ask: Are these service providers regulated especially
their disposal practices? Ms. Lilibeth “Beth” Diasnes, Sanitation Inspector III of CHO
Zamboanga City answered that they already have 2 private desludger with operating
facility complete with corresponding permit from the Environment Management Bureau
and DOH. Unfortunately they have one that did not pass DOH standards.
4. Zamboanga Del Sur
Ms. Amanda Faye S. Alarcio, Planning Officer II of the province presented the total population
of the households that have access to water and the type that is available. She also said that
the water reliability of their province is 24/7 since most of their sources are from spring and
deep well. On the other hand, their sanitation as of today is faced with the lack of data on
numbers of desludger or siphoning services and septage project.
5. Pagadian City
Ms. Reynita R. Ebal, CPDO of the City presented their Water Access and Sanitation supplied
mainly by Pagadian City Water District with potable water using pumping stations coming from
water sources like springs and deep wells. She also said that Pagadian City has a sufficient
water supply, excellent water quality, excellent collection system and has available funds for
expansion. The city has not also experienced water-borne diseases. While on sanitation,
Pagadian has sanitary toilets accounted for 89% of the total HH’s in 2016 and only one
siphoning services.
6. Dapitan City
Mr. Cristobal N. Palpagan, Officer in charge CPDO of the city showed a map about (potable
water facilities of their city, rural population density map, and urban map showing natural
waterway and floodgates) and he also said almost 44% of the total areas is at level 1. They
have no safe water and they have no facilities. Water and sanitation is major problem in the
city.
7. Dipolog City
Ms. Ruel D. Tabada Division Manager of Dipolog City Water District presented their Water
aand Sanitation situation. Water is to be served by the Water Districts and currently they are
currently constructing Water Septage Treatment Plant (Phase 1) which is now 65% complete
8|Page
Plan
by the end of first quarter. They expect it to be fully operational by 2019 and expected to serve
almost 75% of the population of the city. While in Water Supply, they have 65% population
served by level 3. Water districts in Dipolog are operating individually because there is no
funding available from the government to put up water supply projects. They have a plan that
in five years, they are planning to dig more wells to augment the need for water in the city.
8. Isabela City
General Manager Alelei C. Almodovar of Isabela City Water District presented their Water
Sources and its type of sources, Water Quality Problems and treatment facilities which they
have started operating it l ast March 2017. They have also on going and planned
improvements on their water supply and they are planning to have a solar energy using
hydropower to supply the water.
9. NEDA IX
Ms. Elvie D. Maisog, Sr. EDS presented the Regional Water and Sanitation Situation of
Region 9. From the data available from DOH and Water Districts, she discussed the water
supply as of 2015. She also presented the number of households with access to safe water.
She also implied that the data are partial but when the data is completed, it might increase
more (the data on access to water supply). NEDA 9 is confronted with the issue of lack of
funds to serve more and have expansion. In Sanitation partial data can be also based from
DOH (although the data is already outdated)
As a wrap up and synthesis to the presentation on provincial data and statistics, Ms. Joyce
Gonzaga gave some handles on data appreciation, interpretation, analysis and management.
Insights from Data Appreciation
 Ms. Belinda Wenceslao, Planning Officer of Dipolog City said that the analysis from the
data is really important in planning
 Mr. Nelson B. Sayson, Supervising Sanitation Inspector of PHO Zamboanga Sibugay said
that the presentation gave us a picture of the situation in Water Supply and Sanitation
 Mr. Ferdinand Camba, Division Manager of Zamboanga City Water District said he is
looking for the output of the Master Plan in this consultation. He added also that he has a
little problem in the data we have right now because others LGU’s doesn’t presented their
data and it is only the Water Districts data that are all present. There seems to be “a
disconnect” with the real situation.

Insights/Discussions:
 Ms. Belinda Wenceslao, Planning Officer of Dipolog City observed that there are
contradicting interests between social, economic and political forces. r. For example,
indicators of poverty is availability to show lack of access to sanitation and access to water
supply led to lower cost. This situation explains the reason why they provide lower cost.
 Mr. Rey Adel Peme D. Corpuz, Senior Engineer of NHA 9 implied that it is usually a case
where the business interests of service providers maybe contradicting to the common
good because of profits.
 Mr. Ferdinand Camba, Division Manager of Zamboanga City Water Districts said that
contradicting interest is a classic issue between politics and water districts.
 Ms. Elvie Maisog,Sr. EDS of NEDA 9 emphasized the lack of funds is not an issue as
there a number of donors, agencies and institution available of partnership.The problems
are the lack of buy- in of LGUs to avail the opportunity as well as the lack of capacity of
LGUS.
 Ms. Lizamyl Laping, Dept Head of Sanitary Engineering of WMSU discussed about the
potential partnership in Septage Treatment Facility with LGU wherein the latter should
provide the land, and funds should come from DPWH.
 General Manager Aleli Almodovar of Isabela City Water Districts wants to avail a fund
from DPWH but requirements are a bit stringent on their part and it will entail a long
process still.
 Ms. Antonette Kris M. Navarro, Geologist II of DPWH 9 said that between DPWH and City
Water districts there is a MOA but after the MOA signed RD and GM the funds will go to
LGU’s 50% then upon issue of the project. Right now they have the grant for Zamboanga
City Septage Sewerage System -considered as the first in the country through the
partnership between the Water districts and City LGU. The requirements need a proposal
and to formulate Feasibility Studies for DPWH. The proposal will grant as long as the
Feasibility has been done.
 Mr. Rey Adel Peme D. Corpuz said we need to balance the service providers’ agenda with
the agenda of the City Government.
 Mr. Noel Ortigas said to assure that we are in a process let’s take a look in the strategy.
The more you increase the area the more you pull away and the opportunity to push closer
in strategy we will see a parallel conflict in getting universal access. He quoted, water isn’t
a service it’s an economic.

 Mr. Norman Jose “Duke” Ramirez, Chief EDS of NEDA IX said we need more inputs, and
added information to gather like keywords/ key points and collaboration through with the
water districts and City Government for a better quality of life, for this we need to provide
a lower rate for a water supply so helping partnership collaboration with the water districts
and agencies we can provide a mechanism to use.
Ms. Joyce Gonzaga gave some handles on how to formulate the Regional Vision. Below are some
of the Key points discussed:
were completely, perfectly addressed. Eg. “Be a world without war” and “a community in

The participants were grouped together by province, line agencies and the NEDA Region 9. They
were then instructed to visualize their dreams or desired future on water, water, and sanitation,
and draw them on a manila paper. Then, each group presented each of their drawings.
Afterwards, A representative from each group was chosen to be part of the visioning group, which
is tasked to meet, discuss and create a regional vision. Afterwards, each group was asked to
present the key words, images and symbols that represent their desired state for Region as far
as water supply and sanitation is concerned.
 Regional Line Agencies. NCMF Regional Director Dr. Zulfikar J. Abantas presented their
work by saying water is life, because it contributes peace and development in the

Plan
 Academe. Ms. Lizamyl Laping, Dept Head Sanitary Engineering of Western Mindanao
State University showed their output saying that they have common goal. They believe
having enough water resources is needed for drinking and they need sustainable water
supply for the future. The group concentrated more on water supply because she said
“paano tayo magkakaroon ng waste management kung wala naman tayong access for a
safe water” But in the end they also focused in providing sanitation, technology, facilities
and of course disposal of generated waste water.
 Zamboanga City. Mr. Edito Baustista, Principal Engineer said their work symbolizes clean
and protected environment to supply the water and how it has to be managed thru
wastewater treatment facility and to return it clean to the natural environment.
 Zamboanga del Sur. Mr. Obet Zozoborado of Pagadian City Water District said their work
comes from different directions but in the end their goal is to have a water that is
sustainable for the community. And he talked about conserving by saying “na dapat kung
ano yung ginamit mo na malinis ibalik mo din dapat na malinis.” In end, they can have a
Happy and Healthy Community Environment.
 Zamboanga Sibugay. Mr. Nelson B. Sayson, Supervising Sanitation Inspector of PHO

presented their work by saying their vision by 2030 was to have a safe and adequate water
supply and water sanitation facility. This can b done by planting more plant more trees for
watershed development. They want also a sustained and well maintained micro biological
facility and metro urban sewerage treatment plant that they established 24/7 so that they
can provide a quality water for all.
 NEDA 9.Ms. Sheeryl C. Polio, ADAS III said, the 2030 Vision is increased access of the
increasing population to water supply. They believe that the proper waste water
management will lead to clean water for everyone. She also added the acronym of water
by 2030 (W- wellness, A- accessible/ affordable, attainable , E- environment, R-reliable
resources)
 Regional Line Agencies. Ms. Jenifer B. Guia, EMS II of DENR said their community is big
and so that we need a wastewater treatment facility for sustaining the water supply. Their
vision is to have houses that have access to efficient disposal of wastewater towards a
healthy environment of families.

The Regional Vision
“Universal Access to Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Services in

Zamboanga Peninsula by 2030”
Engr. Edward Cruz discussed about water supply strategies in urban and rural settings. He
included in his presentation some of the strategies in the development of the water supply sector
such as:

 Building Strategic Alliances- Collaboration with different institutions and
agencies
 Adequate Infrastructure Provisions- financing, source development and
water supply distribution
Mr. Leo de Castro showed a video featuring Mr. Francisco Delos Reyes: Sanitation is a basic
human right. The Environmental Engineer and Sanitation activist makes his case for the total
reinvention of the sanitation landscape. Mr. Delos Reyes gets down to the heart of the issue,
bringing to light a world where open defecation is not only prevalent but is an issue affecting,
reinventing the sanitation infrastructure and putting into place realistic solutions. Moreover, he
also discussed the old paradigm of flush toilets which is not an option due to lack of water, energy
and funds.
Sanitation is also about implementing efforts on waste to be collected, transported and reused.
After the video of Mr. delos Reyes, Mr. Leo de Castro said it’s about time to make a change how
we think and how we make some paradigm shifts how we do things. Further, Sanitation was also
discussed by Mr. Philip M. Diokno wherein he talks about Wastewater uses in the industry,
agriculture and households
water. He presented population projections for Region 1 and also the water supply and demand
projections. He gave emphasis on was the water supply system and expounded the idea that
there are many water sources that the region could utilize. Concepts on water supply were also
discussed.

Engr. Cruz, then, clarified the definitions and inclusions for each level of service as well as topics
on water demand, potential water sources, water treatment, sustainable water supply system
requirements, planning processes, and approaches on water supply development were tackled.

is divided into three parts that include: 1) Presentation of Sanitation Strategies to Rural and Urban
setting, 2) Presentation of models and initiatives done in relation to ensuring access and 3)
configuring the strategies after in-depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors.
The facilitator gave first the basic handles on strategy configuration and formulation. Afterwards,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1
To help address the challenge of Water Supply and Sanitation in the country a series of
consultation workshop was conducted all over the Philippines to get regional inputs on how to
strategically move forward. There are six desired outputs for the workshops: 1) WSS Sector
Situationer of each Region; 2) Sector Vision 2030; 3) Strategies; 4) Key Programs; 5) Priority
Projects/Operational Plan; and 6) Increased competencies in the planning process.
The result of the workshops will be utilised to formulate the Philippine Water Supply and
Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP) to help achieve the water supply and sanitation target of the
country (PDP 2017-2022).
For Northern Mindanao (Region X), the workshop was conducted last 12-14 February 2018 at
the Palladium Hall, Mallberry Suites Business Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City.
The participants from Region X agreed on their vision: “By 2040, Region X is a happy, healthy,
safe and progressive community through a sustained watershed management, adequate and
affordable supply of potable water and efficient sanitation management system.” This vision will
serve as the Region’s guide in formulating their strategies and identifying key programs on WSS.
A total of 80 participants from different regional government line agencies, water districts, and
Local Government Units have attended the workshop:
Balingasag Water District Provincial Health Office of Bukidnon
Cagayan deOro City Water District Provincial Planning Division Office of Bukidnon

1.0 MESSAGES
1.1 Welcome Remarks
ENGR. MODESTO C. BABAYLAN
Co-Chairperson, Regional Development Council X
Co-Chairperson, Regional Development Council X, Infrastructure Committee
Good morning everyone! Welcome to the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan
Regional Workshop and Stakeholder Consultation. To Regional Director Engr. Leon M.
Dacanay, Jr. and his technical staff and representatives from NEDA Central office, thank you
for spearheading this event. To the LGU Officials and their representatives who are with us,
also to our Provincial Board Members, we are honored to have your presence. I would also
like to acknowledge our General Managers from the various water districts in the Region, as
well as our Sanitary Inspectors, and City Health Officers as well as representatives from the
private sector water services provider. Let me further acknowledge our partners from the
Regional Line Agencies, representing the DENR, EMB, DPWH, DILG, DOH, and the PSA. I
would also like to extend my welcome to the RDC X Private Sector Representatives and are
our partners from the civil society and the academe, thank you for being with us today.
Let me acknowledge also the consultants of the joint venture team of Engineering and
Development Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP), Tractebel Inc. and Orientation
Integrated Development Consultants, Inc. (OIDCI) headed by their Team Leader, Ma’am
Elisea “Bebet” Gozun, who are tasked to formulate the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation
Master Plan (PWSSMP).
According to the 2010 UNICEF and World Health Organization Joint Monitoring Program
Report, 7.4 million Filipinos are still without access to any type of improved water source.
While access to an improved water source increased from 85% in 1990 to 912% in 2010, there
are still families without safe water source in or near their home and they often spend
significant time and energy collecting water, these people are forced daily to walk long
distances to fetch potable water, queue for long hours at the communal faucets and are
exposed to health risks when using unsafe water.
Likewise the state of our country’s sanitation facilities continues to be a challenge. According
to the 2007 FHSIS data, 20 million Filipinos have no access to improved sanitation facilities.
In fact, only 77% of Filipinos have sanitary toilets.
The Philippine government recognizes the need to provide universal policies, strategies, and
campaigns have been initiated. However, access to safe water and sanitation continues to
elude the most vulnerable sectors of our society—the poor and the marginalized.
The formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Masterplan is timely, and can
serve as our blueprint towards addressing regional disparities in access to safe drinking water
and clean sanitation facilities. I highly encourage everyone to take part, and be pro-active in
coming up with sustainable solutions to improve our current water and sanitation situation. I
am confident that our plan, can be used to design and implement water and sanitation
programs that will ensure sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable
water and sanitation facilities. Because providing water and sanitation services not only
improves the socio-economic, health and nutrition status of households, it also addresses the
fundamental basic human right of every Filipino.
Thank you and I wish all a productive day ahead. (END)

1.2 Opening Remarks

ENGR. LEON M. DACANAY, JR., CESO III
Regional Director
Region X, NEDA
Let me welcome all of you to the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan Regional
Planning Workshop and Stakeholder Consultations.
The Philippine government recognizes the need to provide access to water supply and
sanitation for all. In this regard, the 2017-2022 Philippine Development Plan (PDP) espouses,
among others, the formulation of masterplans that will foster coordinated efforts across the
country.
In line with this, the National Economic and Development Authority is leading the effort in the
Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP) and has
engaged the services of three contracting firms – the Engineering and Development
Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP), Tractebel, Inc. and Orient Integrated Development
Consultants, Inc. (OIDCI), to manage the planning process and develop the Plan.
The Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP), as an action with
corresponding investment and financing program, is envisioned to set the direction of the
country to address sector challenges and attain targets in the provision of water supply and
sanitation services.
The PWSSMP will help achieve the following objectives:

1. Increase in the percentage of households with access to safe water supply to 95% by
2022, in accordance with the medium-term sector targets under the 2017-2011 PDP;
2. Increase the percentage of households with access to basic sanitation to 97% by 2022,
in accordance with the medium-term sector targets under the 2017-2022 PDP;
3. Universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water by 2030, in
accordance with the SDG definitions;
4. Universal access to adequate and equitable sanitation by 2030, in accordance with the
SDG definitions and targets; and
5. Achieve water quality targets mandate under the Clean Water Act of 2004
Part of the master planning activities is the conduct of this three-day PWSSMP Regional
Workshop and Stakeholder Consultations in order to provide a venue for an integrated
assessment and participatory planning towards the development of a Regional Water Supply
and Sanitation Assessment and Roadmap with an investment program for each of the regions.
I would like to rejoin everyone to provide your valuable inputs and insights in addressing and
improving our current water and sanitation situation.
With this, I would like to thank everyone for your active participation to this endeavor and I
wish you all a productive workshop ahead. (END)

1.3 Closing Message

ENGR. JAIME PACAMPARA
Chief Economic Development Specialist
Regional Technical Coordinator
NEDA X
I’d like to congratulate everyone for sustaining the three-day workshop. In behalf of our
Regional Director, we would like to thank you for the inputs during the workshop. Because
of all the inputs and workshops, our awareness on the current situation of WSS in our
region was heightened. We have gained so much knowledge from the consultants,
especially the definition of terms. Our skills for planning have also increased with all the
workshops that we have gone through. And because of our heightened awareness of the
existing laws on WSS, and found out that we are violators, hopefully our attitude would
also change. We have to be committed to the road map that we have set out.
We, in the region, as mentioned by our leader, we will present our road map to the Social
Development Committee and the Infrastructure Development Committee of the RDC and
we will scrutinize the issues and interventions that were identified. Finally, we will endorse
it to the RDC who will endorse it to the higher hierarchy. What is important is, there must
be an identification of projects that can be funded by the National Government. Most of
the projects that was identified were local in nature. We have to craft projects that can be
funded by either the National Government or the Official Development Assistance. WSS
is closely linked with health that is why projects on these can also access the Municipal
Development Fund, especially the low income municipalities. If you can make a proposal
with a sound business component the private sector might also be interested to join.
So hopefully, at the end of the day, the consultants are tasked to finish this in one year
and come up with a WSS master plan for the entire country. If we want to seek funding for
our future projects, this master plan will be our basis. If you will submit plans and proposals
to us in the Region, we will go back to the master plan as basis.
It’s very nice to see what this group has crafted. The bottom line is all of us will be happy;
happy because in 2040 we have managed our watersheds, and we have maintained the
source of our safe potable water supply, and the implementation of a sewerage system in
the country.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to close this activity by saying thank you very much
and congratulations. (END)

3.0 INPUTS
3.1 Project Overview
Ms. Bebet Gozun presented the overview of the project with emphasis on the Philippine
Development Plan’s target to increase safe water access to 95.16% and increase access to
basic sanitation to 97.46%. The project’s four objectives, were also highlighted: 1) A Master
Plan to achieve targets in water supply and sanitation, 2) Develop strategies, policy reforms,
identify priority programs and projects (short, medium and long term); 3) Update a integrate
PWSSR and PSSR into a single comprehensive Master Plan, and link all other initiative in
relation to WSS, such as Unified Financing Framework (UFF); and 4) Capacity building of
NEDA and other agencies/institutions.
Ms. Gozun emphasized that the implementation of the project is only 12 months and
everything should be done with urgency, not only to hit targets, but to take advantage of
opportunities. She shared that the Philippines had over P600 billion unutilized budget from
2016 which could be accessed to fund projects on WSS. Furthermore, Senator Legarda, which
currently chairs the Senate Finance Committee, supports this move.
6
Ms. Guzon further that all inputs for the Master Plan must come from the local. This is not
NEDA’s plan, or the consultant’s plan, but the plan of the different stakeholders of the region.
From the data gathered, a map will be drafted and it will be presented to NEDA for feedback.
Sanitation
There are over 100 million Filipinos at present and based on available data around 4.3 million
are still practicing open defecation. Ms. Gozun said that sanitation is still a huge challenge in
the Philippines. She cited as example the case of Boracay where despite an existing sewerage
system less than 20% of its establishments complied and connected. She said that it is the
duty of LGUs to use their police powers and ensure that laws are implemented and necessary
regulatory oversights are functional. She cited Isabela City as an example of an LGU with a
sound WSS system.
Water Supply
Majority of those who have access to water are in the urban areas; currently 332 municipalities
are still classified as waterless and it is getting more difficult to secure ground water sources.
Currently, only 2.6% of the world’s water is fresh water. How do we ensure our water
resource? In the Philippines, extraction of ground water is unregulated and this poses not only
depletion of resources, but other problems as well like sinkholes. In a study conducted by
Rodolfo and Siringanin (2006) for instance found that Manila had sunk to the ground by 1.4
meters over the years because of over extraction of groundwater.
Ms. Gozun urged that 60% of used water ends up as dirt water and 80% of rainwater goes to
waste; institutions must have the willingness to invest on ways to conserve and take
advantage of ready resources to augment water.
3.3 Definition of Terms on WSS

Water Supply
Mr. Jusi emphasized that L2 and L3 waters are basically the same, only that L2 has no service
connection (communal). He added that though L2 is good, which Salintubig promotes, we
should aim for L3. He also highlighted that water consumption per capita is influenced by the
level of service. In L1 a person can consume up to 30 litres of water per day only because of
the labour involved in obtaining water. However, as the access increases, the consumption
also increases; 60-70 litres in L2, and 100 litres or more in L3.
Sanitation
Before officially starting his input on the definition of sanitation, Mr. Tecson advised the
participants to aim for household toilets and communal toilets in their localities because this is
more sustainable in the long term. He also shared that there are various reasons why people
practice open defecation, it could be that there are no facilities available, or something more
complicated to address: cultural.
7
He asked the participants why it is important to have a sound sanitation practice. The answers
are: 1) prevent water contamination; 2) faster water treatment; 3) augment the limited supply
of water.
3.4 REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION SITUATION

was pointed out that Iligan City’s water
lines are over 50 years old and it needs
to be upgraded.

3.4 BASIC WATER SUPPLY DEVELOPMENT
Mr. Jusi briefly explained the importance of maintaining the watershed for a sustainable water
supply. If watersheds are healthy, water sources are secured.
Some communities do not experience a 24/7 water supply, and the service providers should
aim for a 24-hour access. One of the highlights of the presentation is on tariffs. Service
9
providers complained that they could not upgrade their facilities to improve their services
because it is difficult to secure permission to increase water rates. Consumers do not pay for
the water but on maintenance. But many people could not understand this, and during public
hearings they deny service providers’ appeal for tariff increase. Mr. Jusi advised the service
providers to explain to the consumers that their water is still cheaper compared to a bottled
water and as safe. Sometimes it can’t be helped that politics get in the way, but service
providers must maintain a good relationship with the LGUs.
One of the participants asked if the Philippines would also promote rainwater harvesting, like
in India, as source of water supply. Though households, especially those with limited access
to water are practicing this, there is still no system that supports this method.
The Water Districts also asked if other service providers who are not under LUWA will be
penalized if they do not adhere to the Water Safety Plan. Because though they are complying
they are not convinced that the other providers who are not under LUWA, like water refilling
stations, are complying. A representative from the Department of Health Region X explained
that based on their Department Order the mandate is for everyone, including the refilling
stations.
Water as a social consideration because it is a basic right rather than an economic

consideration was also highlighted and how pricing should be socialized so everyone can
access it. Further, Mr. Jusi emphasized that to sustain a water system each LGU must have
an engineer whose only focus is to look after 100% water provision to all their constituents.
3.5 SHARING ON SANITATION STRATEGIES IN URBAN AND RURAL SETTING
Mr. Tecson highlighted that the point of sanitation is to separate human excreta from human
contact. He said that only 3% of the world’s water is drinkable and we should help nature clean
our waste water to speed up the process; augment it; and prevent contamination. Water is a
limited and a finite source that we should take care to sustain us.
When considering projects on sanitation one must consider these three factors: 1)
infrastructure, products, and services; 2) supportive environment; and 3) appropriate
promotional approaches. Mr. Tecson give emphasis on the importance of raising awareness
on sanitation. He said that for the project to work there should be a change of behavior from
the people and a higher appreciation enough to practice sound sanitation. As simple as
washing ones hands after visiting the toilet is enough to decrease by 35% the chances of
exposure to water-borne diseases.
He also shared his opinion, that though projects on provision of toilets and septic tanks is
good, it should be the responsibility of the households. He added that some argued that some
families are destitute and could not afford the expense, it still should not be dole out.
Improved sanitation facilities should be the goal and it should be safely managed. Mr. Tecson
proceeded to briefly discuss the Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004. He also shared how
LGUs can access funds for their sanitation projects. For instance, they can access the NSSMP
Grant which will cover 50% of the entire project cost. Mr. Tecson briefly discussed the basic
requirements of the grant.
Each Region’s current access to sanitation was also presented, where Region X is number
four among those with highest access to improved sanitation and ARMM with the lowest

access. Mr. Tecson emphasized that everyone should target a 100% access by 2022 and that
HUCs like Cagayan de Oro and Iligan are required by law to have their own sewerage system.
3.6 APPROACHES AND STRATEGY
Ms. Gozun shared the definition of “strategy” and the strategies for the Philippine Water Supply
Road Map. These are: 1) Strengthen institutions; 2) Develop Capacities; 3) Build Strategic
Alliance; 4) Provision of adequate infrastructure for water supply development; 5) Strengthen
sanitation governance and regulation; 6) Strengthen service delivery through communication
and capacity development; 7) Build strategic, broad-based alliance of multi-sectoral and multi-
level stakeholders; 8) Provide financing and infrastructure investment for priority areas from
sustainable sanitation; 9) Mainstream sanitation and hygiene promotion in emergency
situations.
It was also emphasized that water service is a good avenue for private institutions; and the
government must provide the enabling environment and enforce the existing laws. She also
urged that the LGU must be critical in releasing permits to fecal disludge service providers and
ask where the wastes end up and if there is an existing treatment facilities. Further, that LGUs
can invest in effective but inexpensive solutions.
The participants also agreed that there is a need to review existing regulations, and when
necessary, amend it to respond to the needs of our time.
3.7 SHARING ON COMPLETED SANITATION PROJECTS IN THE PHILIPPINES
The objective of this presentation is to inspire the participants. Mr. Tecson shared the domestic
wastewater and septage treatment plants of 27 cities and municipalities in the country. One of
the highlights that caught the attention of the participants is the facility in Bayawan City, Negros
Oriental that uses Tambo grass in treating their waste water. Treatment need not be expensive
and available local resources can be used.
At the end of his presentation, Mr. Tecson said that there is no specific technology that is
guaranteed to work, what is important is you understand your design and how to run it. The
facilities need not be mechanized since that would be expensive; it could be a combination of
technologies, a hybrid. He also encouraged partnering with the private sectors. But with
caution since there is currently no regulatory system, the LGUs should come up with an
ordinance to set the pricing and other regulatory measures.
3.8 FINANCING AND INVESTMENT
Ms. Myrra Montano emphasized to the participants that their investment plan should be the
basis for their water tariff later. However, they should be conscious that water tariffs have
guidelines. In Region X, for instance, the maximum rate is P350.00, and still subjected for
approval through a public hearing.
As a basic right, the first 10 cubic meter consumed by a buyer should be affordable, but the
more the consumption the higher the rate.
Discussions
Below are discussions during the Financing and Investment input:
11
 For the Salintubig program, only municipalities and provinces classified as waterless
can access of the funding.
 Iligan City Water District expressed again that their water tariff is cheap and their
revenue is not enough to sustain their operations and they have to be subsidized by
the LGU. They shared that they had lobbied to the Sanggunian to increase their tariff,
but the politicians/lawmakers are afraid to lose in the elections and denied their
request. Ms. Montano explained that there are policies and guidelines for water
districts and LGUs when raising tariffs, like conducting public hearings. She advised
them to refer to LUWA their concerns with their tariff.
 Input: If WDs have a septage management program, or is planning to have one, they
can download the policy and guidelines at LUWA website for the service charge.
3.9 PROVINCE OF ILO-ILO’S ROLE IN WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION
Mr. Tecson explained why he was happy to see the Province of Bukidnon’d report earlier. He
said that he was glad that the Province is thinking of creating a Water Supply and Sanitation
Board because it is similar to the Province of Ilo-ilo’s practice.
He shared that the Province of Ilo-ilo help its LGUs on WSS projects through a technical team
created under the Office of the Governor. He said that though there is a budget for WSS
projects, the LGUs were hard pressed in making project proposals and feasibility studies
because they do not have the technical expertise, or they lack the necessary personnel. The
Provincial Office responded by creating a team whose sole purpose is to provide technical
assistance to the LGUs. He said that this practice proved to be effective and he is challenging
the provinces in Region X to come up with ways to support its municipalities on WSS projects,
from inception to implementation.
Some issues were raised during the sharing. One is there are instances where the LGUs do
not see eye to eye with service providers, and at the end of the day, water becomes a political
tool. Second, though WDs have the technical expertise, they were not being tapped because
they are viewed as competition to government funded projects like the Salintubig.
At the end of his sharing, Mr. Tecson said that monopoly in WSS happens, and what the public
sector can do is to ensure that measures are in placed so private providers won’t be abusive.
They have to be accountable and penalize when they breach their contract.
3.10 CAPACITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Each province was given a form to fill and submit to the secretariat.

them.
Misamis Occidental
 Suggested transition line costing: L1
P10 thousand, L2 P25 thousand, L3 P50
thousand.
 Putting rainwater catchments in the
upland should be considered to
maximize rainwater and at the same
time minimize flooding downstream.
 WDs can tie up with schools with
science laboratories to do the water
testing and partner with them.
 To make the refilling stations comply
with the National Philippine Standards
for Drinking Water, LGUs can for a
certification before releasing a business
permit.
 People have low confidence on the
quality of water from the WD that is why
the patronize refilling stations.
Cagayan de Oro City

 There’s a need to revisit the definition
and standards of a “septic tank”
 Sewerage, especially on an HUCs, is
no longer an option, but a requirement.
Bukidnon
 Plans to create a Provincial Water  There are areas in Bukidnon with
Supply and Sanitation Board to aid the challenging water sources and most of
LGUs in WSS projects. the barangay managed water system

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Regional Workshop of Davao Region for the Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply
and Sanitation Master Plan took place from 4 to 6 April 2018 at the Waterfront Insular Hotel in
Davao City. The Engineering and Development Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP),
Tractebel Inc., and Orient Integrated Development Consultants (OIDCI) facilitated the three-day
workshop.
There are three parts to the regional workshop’s main objectives: (a) develop a more
comprehensive picture of water and sanitation situation of Davao Region, (b) produce the
regional water and sanitation vision, and, (c) identify strategies, key programs, and projects for
short, medium, and long terms.
Ms. Ma. Lourdes Lim, the NEDA Regional Director, welcomed the participants. The regional
WSS sanitation was put together by NEDA RO and the provincial government offices. Their
presentations captured the level of access to safe water and sanitation services. The group
discussion that followed gave context to their numbers. Some of the key issues that were
highlighted are the following: lack of financial mechanism to establish sewerage treatment plant
and lack of initiative to impose tariff on sanitation facility operation and maintenance, conflicting
national and regulatory policies, numerous political issues, and lack of dedicated government
agency that address all water and waste water concerns.
Technical input was provided by the Consultants, which helped the participants set their WSS
targets at the provincial level and develop their WSS roadmap. By the last day of the workshop,
the participants have completed their WSS roadmaps together with investment plans. The
targets and plans were reported in the plenary and commented by the Consultants and the rest
of the participants.
A total of 69 participants from different regional government line agencies, water districts, and
provincial local government units (LGUs) have attended the workshop:
Provincial Government of Compostela Valley Davao City Water District
Provincial Government of Davao del Norte Digos City Water District
Provincial Government of Davao del Sur Mati City Water District

1.0 MESSAGES
1.1 Welcome Remarks

MS. MARIA LOURDES D. LIM, CESO II
National Economic Development Authority XI Regional Director
Director Lim welcomed the representatives from the city, municipal and provincial
governments, Indigenous Peoples group, non-government organizations, academe and
water utilities of the Davao region to the workshop. Ms. Lim mentioned that population
growth, climate change and environmental pollution have posed serious threats to water
resources which trigger serious implications on public health, environmental sustainability
and economic development. She stressed that in Davao region, 7.53 percent of
households remain unserved with potable water supply while only 71.49 percent of
households have access to basic sanitation facilities.
In order to address the looming issues on WSS and to contribute to the SDG’s, RD Lim
stressed that the Davao region supports the formulation of the National and Regional
WSS Master Plan. NEDA is leading the effort in the formation of the said plan, which is
meant to be an action plan with a corresponding investment and financing program to
execute the Philippines Water Supply Sector Roadmap and the Philippines Sustainable
Sanitation Roadmap. The Master Plan aims to help achieve increased access of
households to safe water supply and sanitation by 95 percent and 97 percent,
respectively by 2022.
The NEDA Regional Director finally encouraged all representatives to actively participate
in the workshop and ensure that the WSS needs of their localities are included in the
regional plan. (END)

3.0 INPUTS
3.1 MODULE 1: WHERE ARE WE NOW?
Session 1a: Overview of the Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and
Ms. Bebet Gozun explained that the PWSSMP will include not only the strategies but also
the corresponding investment plan to execute the PWSSR and PSSR and put targets for
water supply and sanitation into realization. She presented to the participants a brief
overview of the project covering the objectives and deliverables grounded on the targets
set out in the country’s development plans and the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDG). She underscored that provincial consultations are being conducted to develop the
strategies and plans and mentioned that sanitation receives less attention before but will
be given equal attention in this workshop.
Session 1b.1: Presentation of Basic Terms Commonly Used on Water

Engr. Oscar Jusi explained these terms and concepts including the comparison of levels
of service in water supply and the JMP water ladder. Water sources and how they are
developed are also discussed - from spring development, which is the cheapest to
seawater desalination, which is the most expensive technology to provide safe drinking
water.
He also explained the concepts of sanitation as defined under the Sustainable

Development Goals. He discussed how wastewater is managed and treated including
septage management.
The following points were raised during discussion:
 Some new malls in the country have implemented double piping system in their
sewerage and achieved zero discharge. The Clean Water Act allows reuse of
treated wastewater, however, these were not implemented.
 Treating wastewater requires huge cost. Cost of one project in Mindanao is P7
billion. The government is giving 50% subsidy for HUCs and first-class
municipalities.
 Acceptable standard for non-revenue water is 20% and below. In other countries
like Singapore, acceptable standard is 10%. Very few water districts in the country
have 10% non-revenue water. Estancia Water District in Iloilo, for example, has
10% non-revenue water. For every liter of water that the water districts supply, 20%
of that water is lost. Non-revenue water is different from unaccounted water, like
using water to put out fire.
 Most LGUs do not regularly maintain the drainage system. When inspected, it is
usually full of garbage.
 Implementation of the laws in the country is weak. An example of this is the recent
Boracay case where only 20% of the residences and buildings are connected to the
sewerage. There has to be a requirement at the local level to desludge septic tanks
every 3-5 years.
5
 There are existing laws on sanitation that should guide LGUs such as the Revised
Plumbing Code, Building Code, Sanitation Code, Clean Water Act, DOH
Operational Manual for Domestic Sludge and Septage.
 We have limited investment in educating the public on the importance of water.
People need to understand the benefits of water conservation and protecting the
watersheds. Freshwater is limited and population is growing.
Session 1b.2: Overview of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Sector
To provide a context of the situation at the country level, Engr. Tecson explained that poor
governance and lack of technical/managerial capacities in many WSPs, limited access to
finance, weak regulation, fragmented sector policy development and planning have all
contributed to the issues of access to improved water supply and sanitation. He pointed
this out glaringly at the regional level where more than 50% of the population in CAR,
Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, MIMAROPA, Bicol, Western Visayas, Western Mindanao,
SOKSARGEN, and ARMM have Level 1 access. Likewise, only 6.7% have Level 3
access in ARMM and 15.9% in the Ilocos region.   In terms of sanitation, ARMM has the
highest open defecation rate in the country at 18.3%.
Engr. Tecson also pointed out that universal access to water supply and sanitation is
hampered due to challenges in resources, regulation, governance and institutional,
financing, management and political.
Session 1c.1: Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation

Session 1c.2: Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation: Facilitating

and Hindering Factors
Ms. Gozun provided an overview of the challenges of the WSS sector, which may help
the groups in identifying their own WSS regional issues. PD198 was created in 1973 to
establish LWUA and water districts all over the country but it is also optional. Currently,
there are 515 operational water districts in the country. The DILG also oversee the
implementation of LGU-led water utilities and their projects. Despite these efforts, 12
million people still do not have access to safe and potable water and there are still a
number of waterless municipalities. Reliability and water quality remains a challenge for
all water supply and sanitation service providers.
According to her, there are three key players in the sector namely: water utilities, planning
and development, and regulators. There are developing water utilities and they are mostly
LGU led. Small water utilities like them cannot raise enough funds for their operation and
maintenance. Many of these LGU managed water utilities are not run like a business but
like social services. Water can also be politicized since mayors and governors may
interfere with the operation of water utilities. Even in the local government code, there is
no sanction if mayors are not providing safe water to their constituents.

After the presentation, the participants were grouped by province to identify key issues on
WSS at the provincial level. The key themes that they have to consider were organized
into:
Theme 1: Planning and Development

Key points to focus include allocation of resources (financing and funding mechanisms),
priority for development, cost recovery mechanisms, policies at the national and local
level, set standards.
Theme 2: Service Provisions

Key points to focus include infrastructure expansion, rehabilitation, water quality, climate
resiliency/disaster risk reduction of systems and infrastructures.
Theme 3: Regulation
Key points to focus include monitoring and evaluation of compliance to standards, review
and approval of tariff proposals, implementation of sanctions and incentives.
Theme 4: Policy and Institutional

These include laws, ordinances, guidelines, regulations as well as agencies, systems and
procedures, coordination structures like Technical Working Group, WATSAN committee,
role and responsibilities.
Theme 5: Leadership and Politics
Theme 6: Cultural/Behavioral/Attitudinal
Theme 7: Capacity

3.2 MODULE 2: WHERE WE WANT TO BE?
Session 2a: Formulating the Regional WSS Sector Vision
NEDA consolidated the inputs of the visioning statements from the working groups and
came up with an integrated vision for the region. The regional vision statement was
deliberated in plenary. Most of the comments generated from the plenary were on minor
wordings included in the statement.
3.3 MODULE 3: HOW DO WE GET THERE?
Session 3a: Basic Concepts and Approaches In Urban And Rural Setting
Water Supply
Engr. Jusi discussed basic concepts of the water cycle and the importance of watershed
as well as the service levels appropriate in urban and rural areas. He explained the
technology options for urban and rural areas including the cost options. He also
9
elucidated that not all Level 2 service type could be converted to Level 3 service
connection.
Mr. Jusi briefly explained the importance of maintaining the watershed for a sustainable
water supply. If watersheds are healthy, water sources are secured.
Sanitation
Engr. Tecson, on the other hand, reviewed the SDGs and the essential components of a
sanitation program, which is the integration of the following components: infrastructure,
products and services, appropriate promotional approaches, and supportive environment.
He also explained the financing component of the NSSMP grant. Engr. Tecson
differentiated wastewater treatment options such as natural and mechanized, onsite and
offsite, centralized and decentralized. He also said that a drainage system could be used
as a sewer system. He explained that a practical approach to septage management is to
cluster municipalities so that one septage treatment plant can serve several
municipalities.
Discussion:
 Sustainability of Salintubig projects are often challenging due to low tariffs set and
revenue collected by the LGUs.
 There were also challenges in finalizing the water safety plan since there are few
personnel from LWUA to approve the plan.
 Ms. Bebet Gozun pushed for the collection of rainwater at the institutional level not
only among households. She cited the case of Bonifacio Global City’s rainwater
harvesting system.
 DPWH has a budget for the construction of rainwater harvesting systems every
year. Ms. Gozun informed LGUs that the DPWH fund is a grant and they have to
develop plans to incorporate rainwater harvesting in their institutions. LGUs
lamented that they lack information and awareness on the availability of DPWH
funds.
 Cases of gender mainstreaming on WSS should also be highlighted.
 The presentation should also focus on social inclusiveness; not only emphasize on
urban areas and Level 3 source development. Rural areas were marginalized
especially on watershed protection and reforestation. Integration of rural dwellers,
IPs and other marginalized sectors should be considered in the development of the
WSS plans.
 Davao Oriental asked for technology on spring source development. They cited
good impacts of Salintubig and PAMANA practices on capacitating LGUs in WS
development. Emphasized the need to adopt appropriate technology based on their
situation.
Session 3b.1: What are Strategies?
Ms. Gozun shared the definition of “strategy” and the strategies for the Philippine Water
Supply Road Map. These are: 1) Strengthen institutions; 2) Develop Capacities; 3) Build
Strategic Alliance; 4) Provision of adequate infrastructure for water supply development;
5) Strengthen sanitation governance and regulation; 6) Strengthen service delivery
through communication and capacity development; 7) Build strategic, broad-based
alliance of multi-sectoral and multi-level stakeholders; 8) Provide financing and
10
infrastructure investment for priority areas from sustainable sanitation; 9) Mainstream

sanitation and hygiene promotion in emergency situations.
It was also emphasized that water service is a good avenue for private institutions; and
the government must provide the enabling environment and enforce the existing laws.
She also urged that the LGU must be critical in releasing permits to fecal disludge service
providers and ask where the wastes end up and if there is an existing treatment facilities.
Further, that LGUs can invest in effective but inexpensive solutions.
The participants also agreed that there is a need to review existing regulations, and when
necessary, amend it to respond to the needs of our time.
Session 3b.2: Setting WSS Taget for 2022 and 2030
The participants were grouped together by province to brainstorm and set targets to
achieve increased access to water supply and sanitation. Each group presented by
province. Engr. Jusi and Engr. Tecson assessed their activities and targets.
Compostela Valley
 No data for safe/unsafe water sources

 No data for shared/communal toilets
 Target for 2022: Zero for shared/communal toilet
 No sewerage programs since there are no HUCs in the province.
Davao Del Norte
 Safe water sources in the province are getting smaller as pointed out by the
Provincial Health Officer.
 One municipality experienced saltwater intrusion in their source. The LGU will have
to find a viable solution aside from desalination to mitigate saltwater intrusion.
 Zero defecation is difficult to achieve since there are people living in Geographically
Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA). There is a need to modify behavior of
people living in far-flung areas.
 There is a need to allocate more budget for sanitation focusing on septic tank
upgrade for buildings with shared septic tanks like bunk houses.
 Tagum City, Panabo City and the Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) have
sewerage plans.
 Most of septage investments are from the private sector. There is a need to
improve sanitation programs from 2015 to 2022 particularly for LGUs with less than
50% access to septic tank.
Davao Del Sur
 The province may not achieve 100% access to water due to GIDA.
 No data yet for safe/unsafe water sources
 No septage management system yet
 There is a need to revise the targets and place importance to reducing open
defecation.
11
Davao Occidental
 A big number of households in the province are considered as GIDA.

 Open defecation at 16% is really high. There is a need to do survey to get actual
figures for the sanitation sector.
Davao Oriental
 All LGUs should have septage management programs by 2022.
Davao City
 There is a difference on target fund requirement for 2030 (P 4.5 billion) as indicated
in the plan compared to the P12 billion bulk water project of the water district.
 The City Health Office did not report any water-related diseases in Davao, which
means the water sources in the city are safe.
 There is a 7% open defecation problem in the city which is usually found along the
coastal area.
 There is a need to develop capacity to improve the master plan for compliance.
 There is a need to check water supply coverage and sewerage system coverage.
3.4 MODULE 4: KEY POLICIES, PROGRAMS and PROJECTS
Session 4a.1: Sharing On Completed Philippine Sanitation Projects
Engr. Tecson explained that there are 26 completed sanitation projects in the Philippines;
half of these are found in their Mandamus area. In Sarangani Province, for example, 3
STPs (Alabel, Glan and Malalag) were implemented to protect the Sarangani Bay. Ms.
Bebet Gozun also shared the experience on the grant received from Japan to implement
the STP in General Santos City and the challenges in engaging with stakeholders. Engr.
Tecson cited that the Dumaguete Septage Treatment Plant (STP) is the first collaborative
STP project between the water district and LGU in the country.
He explained that having the septage ordinance is the most important component to move
the STP project forward. Social preparation is also important to get support from the
community in implementing STP. He also mentioned that LGUs do not necessarily copy
the template in crafting the ordinance but they can also draft the ordinance to adapt to
their conditions. There are also several indicators to consider in developing STP project,
which include technical performance, financial performance and public satisfaction.
Discussion
 Can the province play a role in investing in STP? In Bulacan Province, for example,
they implemented a clustering approach in developing the project. Provincial
governments could also act as regulator and/or enabler by providing incentives for
LGUs that will invest in STP.
 DILG will look at inclusion of water and sanitation accomplishments as part of the
criteria for the Seal of Good Local Governance.
12
 Which agencies are responsible in guiding LGUs on WSS planning? Ms. Gozun
mentioned that DILG released guidelines on drafting the ordinances. NEDA
explained they will look at the different levels in the government and identify the
ones that can take the lead in local WSS planning based on the findings of the
national WSS plan.
 An IP sector representative pointed out that the DILG should provide IEC on how to
access Salintubig projects particularly in housing projects for the marginalized
sectors. A representative from DILG XI responded that Salintubig funding is based
on identified waterless municipalities. The IP sector can draft a request letter to the
DILG regional office to access funds. On IEC, the DILG requires LGUs to complete
the Free Prior Informed Consent or certificate of community consultation.
 In Davao Oriental, the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Peace Process
has already provided P16 million for the development of IP areas in Region XI.
However, this assistance were based on identified red areas or areas with
presence of communist insurgents.
Session 4a.2: Financing Investment
Ms. Orda explained that in this session, participants would develop a financing plan to
increase and improve access in WSS, which is a roadmap and an investment program.
The focus of the plan is on financing capital expenditures, both physical and non-physical.
She also differentiated the terms funding and financing; funding provides resources while
financing allows upfront costs to be met and must be repaid from future funding. Ms. Orda
mentioned issues in confronted by WSPs in implementing WSS projects, which includes
poor governance, limited access to financing, and affordability of the services to the
consumers
Ms. Orda said that the government needs P29 billion per year to meet service coverage
targets for WSS projects. Since government funding for WSS projects are limited, she
explained the need for a Unified Financing Framework to address these issues. The
framework will be implemented once all the WSS projects are compiled by NEDA.
Towards the end of the session, Ms. Orda asked the participants to identify physical and
non-physical investment requirements based on their facilitating and hindering factors and
cost projections for each WSS activity. She presented the template to be used for the
planning.
3.5 MODULE 5: IDENTIFYING CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS IN SUPPORT OF

THE REGIONAL MASTER PLAN
Ms. Abarquez explained the matrix that draws out the capacity needs of the LGUs in
terms of planning and implementing WSS activities. The participants also identified
responsible agencies/key offices and evaluated their skills/capacities based on several
criteria.

(PWSSMP). Anchoring on the Philippine/Regional Development Plan 2017-2022, Clean
Water Act of 2004 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030, the formulation of
PWSSMP will take its shape to provide a great contribution to the global, national and
provincial goals of ensuring improved access to water supply and sanitation.
The formulation of the master plan has been covering various activities such as organization
and planning, sector assessment and regional visioning, strategy and operational plan
formulation through the conduct of nationwide regional workshops, formulation of the master
plan and knowledge, management, information, dissemination and training. Adhering to the
principles of ownership and participation, activities like sector assessment, regional visioning
and operational planning the formulation has been noted to be an affirmation of the bottom-
up approach to planning. it recognizes the collective roles of all stakeholders in coming up with
an in-depth assessment of the water supply and sanitation as well as sound and fitting
strategies, policies, programs and projects for the water supply and sanitation in the country
from national to local level . The project therefore is expected to produce National Master Plan
and 16 Regional Master Plans.
The Regional Planning Workshop in Region 12 for the Formulation of the Philippine Water
Supply and Sanitation Master Plan was conducted on April 24-26, 2018 at the Greenleaf Hotel,
General Santos City. The 3-day activity was led by the consultants from EDCOP, Tractebel
and OIDCI engaged by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).
The workshop has achieved the following objectives.
 gain deeper understanding of the water and sanitation situation of the region,
 provide clear picture of the desired state of the water and sanitation sector and success
indicators,
 configure strategies and corresponding success indicators contributing towards the
achievement of the overall sector vision,
 identify key programs for each strategies,
 identify key projects and initiatives for each program,
 gain knowledge and competencies in the strategic and business planning process.
The methodology used to achieve the objectives include: 1) lectures and inputs from resource
persons, 2) group workshops 3) plenary presentations and analyzing 4) sharing of insights
and experiences.
The workshop has served as a good opportunity for all stakeholders in the region to appreciate
and understand the concepts and definitions of water supply and sanitation. In addition to this,
it also assessed the current situation, critically analyzed the hindering and facilitating factors,
and configured strategies and craft vision that served as the road map to guide actions in
improving access to water supply and sanitation.
Sixty-seven (67) participants from various regional line agencies, Local Government Units
(LGUs) and Water Districts (WDs) from the five (5) provinces of the SOCCSKSARGEN Region
attended the said event.

Melissa opened the staged for Mr. Arturo Valero, Regional Director of NEDA-XII, for the
opening remarks.
Regional Director Valero, for his opening remarks, highlighted the importance of this workshop
regarding water supply and sanitation. He exampled that a bottle of soda is cheaper than
bottled water, hence the importance of water especially in places that do not have their own
4|Page
water source. He also mentioned that there is a correlation of water for consumption and water
for energy. Mindanao is also notable for their hydro-power plants.
He encouraged the participants to give their full participation and welcome the topics of the
workshop.
Before the start of the workshop, participants were asked about what they expect from this

2. Workshop Proper
picture of the water supply and sanitation from national, regional and provincial level. This
module has also covered an in-depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors in
ensuring better access to water supply and sanitation. Five sessions therefore were covered
in this module and this include: 1) Overview of the PWSSMP Project, 2) Introduction to the
Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) Sector, 3) Regional Water Supply and
Sanitation Situation, 4) presentation of WSS situationer from the provinces, 5) in depth
assessment of hindering and facilitating factors for water supply and sanitation, and 6) basic
definitions on water supply and sanitation.
Engr. Noel Ortigas, Team Leader, presented the overview on the PWSSMP. Before the
presentation, he stressed out that this is not a training workshop and the he assumes that the
participants are already planners. He expounded and clarified the presentation so that the
participants can fully understand where the workshop is headed. Before ending, he highlighted
the fact that they have the second largest river basin in the country; and host a number of
multi-purpose water resources.
Insights:
Mr. Celestino Desamito Jr., Chairman of PSR-RDC, clarified what that there are no problems
in the region regarding water resources.
Engr. Noel agreed that the water resources in the region is more than enough in correlation
with the population, however, without proper handling, the water resource will only last only
25 years more. Climate change is a big factor in our water resources. He also shared some of
his thoughts with the participants. He asked how can the overwhelming amount of water during
the rainy season be utilized and spread throughout the whole year, especially during summer
where there is shortage of water.
Mr. Leo de Castro , introduced to the participants the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation
Sector. He highlighted goal #6 of the SDG which states “Ensure availability and sustainable
management of water and sanitation for all.”
Some points that were also discussed in his presentation were the levels of water supply
services, classifications of sanitation and sewerage systems, population, supply and demand
statistics and SDGs.
Insights:
Mr. Danilo Canencia, Sanitation Inspector IV if CHO-General Santos, shared that while there
is safe water, the public/consumers should know proper handling of water to avoid
contaminants. Contaminants will show along the way without proper care.

Insights:
Mr. Alfred Bronx Hebrona Jr., Chairperson of PSR-Infra, shared some of his thoughts about
the presentations. He said that he have not seen cross sourcing for the region except for
Kidapawan city. Very soon, the cities will ran out of ground water since they get their water
underground, which is only 10% of the surface water. He suggests to the participants to keep
an open-mind during the workshop because it is for the betterment of the region.
Ms Joyce Gonzaga handled Workshop 2 . She gave instruction first on how to come up with
the expected outputs .The participants were then divided into three groups: (1) Planning and
Development, (2) Service Provision and (3) Regulation. Engr. Edward Cruz and Engr. Philip
Diokno was assigned to facilitate the Planning and Development group, Engr. Elisa Cruz for

Ms. Joyce Gonzaga gave some handles on how to formulate the Regional Vision. Below are
some of the Key points discussed:
conditions for your community; that is, how things would look if the issue important to
you were completely, perfectly addressed. Eg. “Be a world without war” and “a
community in which all people are treated as equals, regardless of gender or racial
background.”
 Vision statements should be understood and shared by members of the community.

It is broad enough to include a diverse variety of local perspectives, inspiring and
uplifting to everyone involved in your effort, and easy to communicate - for example,
they are generally short enough to fit on a T-shirt
The participants were grouped by province (4), key cities (2), government agency (1) and
NEDA (1). An activity was introduced by the facilitator wherein participants each group were
requested to imagine their desired situation and express through a drawing. Each group was
given ample time to accomplish the activity.
Each group was then instructed to present the output to the plenary. After presentation, key
person per province was designated to compose the group to do the regional vision for
SOCCSKSARGEN.
Water Supply
Engr. Edward Cruz, Water Supply Specialist, presented the National WSS targets for
water supply and sanitation as the starting point of the plan. He said that the inputs and
results gathered from the previous session shall be used in the spreadsheets. But before
that He gave an introduction on the spreadsheets that will be used as a guide for:
 Population Projection,
 Rural and Urban Classifications,
 Water Supply Statistics, and
 Project Costs
Sanitation
Engr. Philip Diokno, Water Sanitation Specialist, presented the national targets on
sanitation and gave a handles on definitions related to sanitation particularly in toilet
classification. He gave an introduction on the spreadsheets to be used as guide for:
 Sanitation statistics,
 Costing estimations,
10 | P a g e
 Land classifications, and

 Others
Edward Cruz and Engr. Philip Diokno introduced the WSS toolkits developed by the
consultants for the setting of the WSS targets. There are two target years which are 2022 for
the Philippine Development Plan and 2030 for the Sustainable Development Goals. Armed
with their population statistics for water supply and sanitation coverage the following tables

Session 6: Strategy Formulation
Ms. Joyce Gonzaga started the session by giving an introduction about strategy formulation
on how to get into the vision. She then discussed the steps in formulating strategies. She also
provided examples of strategic statement and strategies. Ms. Gonzaga explained the
importance of strategy formulation as a tactical positioning to hit targets. She also defined
good strategy such as the following:
 a grounded strategy taken from in depth assessment and configuration/

reconfiguration of situation and options
 a good strategy can be stated in one or two words/ phrases translated from a good
strategic statement.
a. Revisit water supply and sanitation assessment. What are the compelling issues that
may widen the existing gaps?
b. From the Roadmap presented, select strategies/strategic outcomes, which you think
applicable and relevant to your context
c. From your assessment of regional hindering factors, strengths/ opportunities. How will
you make use of them?
The last instruction was given to participants and that is to complete the story from left to right
planning that include strategies , key result areas, policies, programs and projects, activities,
time-line, investment requirements and implementation arrangements
Afterwards, participants were divided into groups according to provinces. Guided by the
resource persons’ and facilitators’ inputs, they all constructed their respective Provincial
Strategies to translate the Regional Vision into specific approaches to get the best results.
(Please refer to Annex 3 for complete Provincial SWS Plans). A member of each group
presented the group outputs to the plenary and each group has gathered comments and
suggestions to enhance their outputs. Following are the discussion/comments points during
the critiquing process:

Session 10: Identifying Strategies and Setting up Indicators to Achieve the Water
Supply and Sanitation Vision
This part of the session is considered as the main course of the activity. This is envisioned to
give substantial clarity on how the regional Vision on water Supply and Sanitation should take
place. This was facilitated by Ms. Joyce Gonzaga wherein she gave some basic handles first
on how to formulate and configure strategies.
The third module then tackled the question, How do we get there? This means the Vision as
the anchor needs to move forward and be able to guide in the formulation of strategies. This
session is divided into three parts that include: 1) Presentation of Sanitation Strategies to Rural
and Urban setting, 2) Presentation of models and initiatives done in relation to ensuring access
and 3) configuring the strategies after in-depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors.
The facilitator gave first the basic handles on strategy configuration and formulation.
Afterwards, participants were divided into groups according to provinces. Guided by the
resource persons’ and facilitators ‘inputs, they all crafted their respective Provincial Strategies
to translate the Regional Vision into specific approaches to get the best results.
A member of each group presented the group outputs to the plenary and each group has
gathered comments and suggestions to enhance their outputs

Part 1 -INTRODUCTION

The Philippine Government is highly committed to provide safe, clean water and sanitation services
for all through the formulation of Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Mater Plan (PWSSMP).
Anchoring on the Philippine/Regional Development Plan 2017-2022, Clean Water Act of 2004 and
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030, the formulation of PWSSMP will take its shape to
provide a great contribution to the global, national and provincial goals of ensuring improved access
planning as it recognizes the collective roles of all stakeholders. The formulation involves in-depth
assessment of the water supply and sanitation situation as well as formulating sound and fitting
strategies, policies, programs and projects, activities for the water supply and sanitation in the
country from national to local level. The project therefore is expected to produce National Master
Plan and 16 Regional Master Plans.
The recently held regional planning workshop in Caraga Region was the third track of regional
composed of Provincial Planning and Development Officers (PPDOs), Provincial Health Officers
(PHOs), City Planning Officers (CPOs), City Health Officers (CHOs), representatives from line agencies,
academe and the private sector.
The planning workshop has achieved the following objectives that include :1) Gained deeper
understanding of the water and sanitation situation of the region , 2) Clearer picture of the desired
success indicators contributing towards the achievement of the overall sector vision, 4)Identified key
programs projects and activities, time-line, investment requirements and implementation
arrangements, and 5) Gained knowledge and competencies in the strategic and business planning
process
The workshop has employed the methodologies that include: 1) Lecture/Inputs, 2) Open
Forum/Discussion, 3) Group Workshops and 4) outputs presentation and discussions. These
methodologies have facilitated the achievement of the following desired Outputs: 1) WSS Sector
Situationer /in-depth assessment, 2) Formulated the Regional Sector Vision, 3) Configured the
Strategies and its Key Result areas, 4) Identified Key Policies, Programs, Projects, Activities, Time-
line, Investment Requirements and Implementation Arrangements, 5) Identified Priority Projects
(per Program)/ Operational Plan and 6) Increased competencies in the planning process

achieved the appropriate process/methodology that shall be used, informative inputs/handles to be
provided and the available a expertise, manner and attitudes of resources persons and participants
2. Workshop Proper
focused on understanding the context of water supply and sanitation as well as getting a good grasp
of situationer of water supply and sanitation from national, regional and provincial level. This
module has also covered an in-depth assessment of hindering and facilitating factors in ensuring
better access to water supply and sanitation. Five sessions therefore were covered in this module
3|Page
and this include: a) Overview of the PWSSMP Project, b) Introduction to the Philippine Water Supply
and Sanitation (WSS) Sector, and c) Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation) by
presentations of WSS situationer from the provinces, d) in depth assessment of hindering and
facilitating, and e) basic definitions on water supply and sanitation.
Session 1. Overview of the PWSSMP Project
Engr. Noel Ortigas , the Project Team Leader gave an overview on the PWSSMP He provided the
over-all context and rationale of preparing the Master Plan for Water Supply and Sanitation. He also
discussed the details of PWSSP Master Plan formulation. Below are the key points and details
presented and discussed:
 The Phil Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan is an action plan with corresponding
investment and financing program to execute the PWSRR and PSSR and put targets for water
and sanitation into realization.
 The Philippine Development Plan 2022 ensures that there is an increase in the access of safe
water supply to 05 95.16 percent and increase in access to basic sanitation to 97.46 percent.
 The plan is strongly anchored on the Sustainable Development Goals 2030- Universal and
equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and access to adequate and equitable
sanitation.
 The Philippine Government is highly committed to provide safe, clean water and sanitation
services for all through the formulation of PWSSMP. Anchoring on the Philippine/Regional
formulation of PWSSMP will take its shape to provide a great contribution to the global and
national objectives.
master plan and knowledge, management, information, dissemination and training. The
project is expected to produce National Master Plan and 16 Regional Master Plans.
Highlights of this master plan include e: PWSS Vision, strategies, programs and projects and
operational action plans along with the investment requirements, time-line and
 The country’s medium-term target of increasing access to safe water supply to 95.16
percent and basic sanitation to 97.46 percent (PDP 2017-2022), as well as the long-term
target of realizing a universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and
adequate and equitable sanitation (SDG 2030) are the focus of this plan formulation.
 The plan will have to facilitate a deeper understanding on the current WSS situation in each
region, envision the desired state of the WSS sector, and identify strategies, success
indicators and key programs, priority projects and initiatives to achieve the WSS vision.

 Supply and demand statistics showed an increase in the national growth rate and
projections over the next years. The challenge is to find ways and strategies to close the
supply and demand gap for water and sanitation and at the same time manage it.
Session 2. Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation
This session is the first part of the assessment process and this include three presentations crucial to
the assessment of the over-all context of water supply and sanitation from the provincial up to the
regional settings. In this session, participants were able to familiarize and refresh themselves with
disturbing gaps and issues affecting their efforts to increase access to water supply and sanitation.

Session 3- Presentation of the Philippine WSS Situationer (Engr. Noel Ortigas and Engr. Jay Tecson)
Engr. Noel Ortigas gave a very informative and presentation on the water resources in the
Philippines. He presented statistics on the Water and Sanitation (WATSAN) including the critical
watersheds in the country and the six ((6) WRRs hotpots, data on water resources. This was followed
by a brief water resource situation in the region wherein Caraga WATSAN and water resource
statistics in the region were presented.
 The country has unsafe sources of water that include dug well, unprotected spring, river and
stream, lake, rain and others as well as water peddler.
 Mr. Jay Tecson presented the over-all state of access to water supply access and open
defecation status is shown below :
Highest Improved Access Highest Open Defecation Rate

Region 4-A (88%) ARMM (18.3%)
2. NCR (85%) Region 5 (11.9%)
3. Region 3 (82%) Region 7 (8.5%)
4. Region 10 (80%) Region 6 (8.3%)
5. CARAGA Region (77%) Region 4-B (6.4%)
6. CARAGA Region (4.6%)
7. Region 12 (4.6%)
 Economic Impacts of Sanitation in the Philippines (2008) was also discussed by the resource
person such that economic costs is in the order of US$ 1.4 billion, equivalent to about 1.5%
of GDP in 2005 and translated to per capita losses of US$ 16.8 per year. Similarly, health
impacts costs at about US$ 1 billion, 72% of total economic loss and the economic impact on
water resources accounted for about 23% of the total costs.
 Sector Issues and Challenges are summarized and discussed below :
Challenges Causative factors

 There is no “Regulatory Stick” to drive
expansion and improvement of water systems
 There is no regulatory oversight for Joint
Venture projects by water districts
 There is no national agency responsible for
water supply and sanitation in the country
 The water sector regulatory environment is
fragmented(LWUA, NWRB, MWSS, PEZA, TIEZA,
LGUs) and observe different regulatory models
 There is no comprehensive strategy to achieve

the SDG in water and sanitation; definitions
 There is little awareness on the need for basic

no sustained national or local efforts to improve
awareness
 Many LGUs and water utilities do not practice
Water Demand Management (WDM)
 Majority of LGUs run water utilities are not set
up and operated as business enterprises and do
not have the necessary technical and
managerial capacities.
 Many water districts do not have the technical
capacity to engage in sewerage or septage
management
 Many LGUs do not implement the proper
regulation for septic tanks and other onsite

Session 4 -Basic Definitions on Water Supply and Sanitation (Mr. Dondi Alikpala)
 Level I (Point Source)

This level provides a protected well or a developed spring with an outlet, but without a
distribution system. The users go to the source to fetch the water. This is generally
adaptable for rural areas where affordability is low and the houses in the intended service
area are not crowded. A Level I facility normally serves an average of 15 households within a
radius of 250 meters.
 Level II (Communal Faucet System or Stand Post)

This type of system is composed of a source, a reservoir, transmission mains, a piped
distribution network, and communal faucets. Usually, one faucet serves four to six
households within a radius of 25 meters. The consumers still go to the supply point
(communal faucet) to fetch the water.
 Level III (Waterworks System/Individual HH Connections).This system includes a source, a

reservoir, transmission mains, a piped distribution network, treatment facilities and
individual household taps. It is generally suited for densely populated urban areas where the
population can afford individual connections.
 Water Distribution System. A group of water mains usually consisting pf a network of

piping, including transmission and distribution main, which is designed to deliver water from
water supplies to water users.
 Water Demand. The quantity of water that the water sources must produce in order to
meet all water needs in the areas being served. The total water demand is equal to the sum
of the domestic, commercial, industrial, institutional, large water users and unaccounted-
for-water.
9|Page
 Per Capita Demand Water daily consumption rate of population to be served per day, in
liters per day per head (per capita)
 Water Treatment Works :includes devices and equipment or physical and chemical
processes for making water suitable for human consumption and other purposes
 Safely Managed. Improved facilities which are not shared with other households and where
excreta are safely disposed in situ or transported and treated off-site.
 Unimproved .Use of pit latrines without a slab or platform, hanging latrines or bucket
latrines
 Waste Management and Treatment .It is a process used to convert wastewater into an
effluent(outflowing of water to a receiving body of water) that can be returned to the water
cycle with minimal impact on the environment or directly reused
 Fecal Sludge Management .The collection, transport, and treatment of fecal sludge from pit
latrines, septic tanks or other on-site sanitation systems
 Septage Management .Comprehensive programs for managing septic tanks and the
procedure for desludging, transporting, treating and disposing of septic tank contents
 Sewerage System. A network of pipes, pumps and force mains for the collection of
wastewater, or sewage, from a community

The outputs then were presented to the plenary and have generated the following insights:
10 | P a g e
 Access is a common and disturbing issue in Caraga region.
 The law of supply and demand applies to water supply. The projected increase in population
will lead to an increase in demand. Without the commensurate increase of water supply , its
channels and service provision aspects will create a disturbing gap
 Water supply goes beyond services. It also talks about affordability, quality and sustainability
 To sum up the gaps in terms of universal access to water supply and sanitation, there is a
need to cluster them into three areas namely: 1) Resource 2) Financial/Technical, and 3)
Organizational/Institutional.

MODULE 2- WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Module 2 for Day 1 continued and it also tackled the question, WHERE DO WE FROM HERE? In this
module, the Vision setting took place. Some handles were given by the facilitator to refresh and
guide participants how to craft a Vision. Key points for the handles are the following:
were completely, perfectly addressed. Eg. “be a world without war” and “ a community in
11 | P a g e

It was noted that during the discussion participants gave their full and active participation. Vision
setting was done in a very creative and fun manner wherein it stirred the imagination and
enthusiasm of participants. Each group was given drawing board where everyone can partake in
doodling and drawing abstracts or objects to represent their dream or vision for the future as far as
access to water supply and sanitation is concerned. Afterwards, participants shared to their groups
their individual drawing. From their drawings they were instructed to describe them with a word or a
phrase to represent their desired future for water supply and sanitation in their provinces. Each
group then were asked to select a representative to the big group to craft the regional vision. The
Vision setting session ended with a brief synthesis and a reminder to participants that the crafted
regional vision shall be presented on the next day for critiquing and enhancements in the plenary.
Setting the WSS Targets (Engr. Edward Cruz and Engr. Philip Diokno)
This session was given in order to compute the water and sanitation targets. Some inputs were
based from on the GOP targets /numbers that served as regional basis for targeting. Discussion
followed and gathered the reactions of provinces in the targets set by regions.
Water Supply
Engr. Edward Cruz, Water Supply Engineer, presented the national WSS targets for water supply and
sanitation. He gave an introduction on the spreadsheets that will be used as a for : 1) Population
Projection, b)Rural and Urban Classifications, c )Water Supply Statistics, and d)Project Costs.
Sanitation
Engr. Philip Diokno, sanitation engineer, presented the national targets on sanitation and clarified
about the definitions on toilet classifications as questioned by a representative from NEDA R8. He
gave an introduction on the spreadsheets to be used as guide for Sanitation statistics, Costing
estimations, Land classifications among others.
Below is the summarized targets on water supply and sanitation of the provinces.

Day 1 ended with a brief wrap up and synthesis from the facilitator. One of the members of the
team also gave few reminders for the next day.
The second day of the workshop started with a brief recap of day 1 followed by the presentation of
the crafted Caraga Regional Vision of the Water Supply and Sanitation. The crafted vision is as follows:
“Safe and Sustainable Water for Empowered Caraganons”

Key points to explain:
 Safe water encompasses sanitation. It also explains the universal access to sanitation
programs and projects that would ensure healthy and disease- free environment.
 Sustainable water means adequate, full access to quality and affordability to water
 For Caraganons, this explains inclusivity and collective enjoyment of life because of access to
safe water and sanitation.
The Vision Setting ended with a synthesis of the facilitator with the following key points:
 Collective Vision Setting is a meaningful exercise to ensure ownership and responsibility of a

desired state in the future.
 This is part of a collective designing process, where new lenses are being used to view the
future ad take on various elements of moving on forward to a dream through strategies,
programs, projects, activities, timeline, budget and implementation arrangements.
 A Vision prepare planners to project a future where change or transformation occurs in a
very systematic manner
MODULE 3 - HOW DO WE GET THERE?
This part of the session is considered as the main course of the activity as this is envisioned to give
substantial clarity on how the regional Vision on Water Supply and Sanitation should take place. This
was facilitated by Ms. Joyce Gonzaga wherein she gave some basic handles first on how to formulate
and configure strategies.
The Vision as the anchor needs to move forward and be able to guide in the formulation of
strategies. This session therefore is divided into three parts that include: 1) Presentation of
Sanitation Strategies to Rural and Urban setting, 2) Presentation of models and initiatives done in
14 | P a g e
relation to ensuring access and 3) configuring the strategies after in-depth assessment of hindering
and facilitating factors.
For the strategy formulation part, the facilitator gave first the basic handles on strategy
configuration and formulation. Key points discussed are the following:
 Strategies are general approaches applicable to urban and rural context of ensuring access
to water supply and sanitation
 Strategies are needed to achieve the regional water supply and sanitation sector vision
 A good strategy is a grounded strategy taken from in-depth assessment and

configuration/reconfiguration of situation and options
 A good strategy can be stated in one or two words/phrase translated from a good strategic
statement
 To configure strategies, it must be drawn out from the in-depth analyses of hindering and
facilitating factors. It is facing the question, how are you going to make sense of the situation
given that gaps and positive factors present.
 Strategic Statements are the results of configuration. From the statements, a strategy is
formulated. For example :
Strategic Statement:
Enhance skills and competencies of Sanitary Inspectors to improve their performance
Strategy: Capability Building
 Indicators or evidences of achievement of strategies are known as Key Result Areas
1. Revisit water supply and sanitation assessment. What are the compelling issues that may widen
the existing gaps?
2. HOW DO YOU NARROW DOWN THE GAPS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE VISION? Strategize (to
address the challenge) …
2.1. From the Roadmap presented, select strategies/strategic outcomes, which you think applicable
and relevant to your context
2.2. From the presentation of models, initiatives and best practices, what are the compelling lessons
of effective strategies that you can use or apply in your context (province)?
2.3. From your assessment of regional hindering factors, strengths/ opportunities. How will you
make use of them?
2.4 Road Map or Master Plan development is a is a left, center to right planning
• LEFT … situational assessment
• CENTER… Visioning
• RIGHT… Strategy Formulation and KRAs formulation, policy formulation (if needed ),
programs and projects, activities, time-line, indicative budget and implementation
arrangements
15 | P a g e
The last instruction was given to participants and that is to complete the story from left to right
planning that include strategies , key result areas, policies, programs and projects, activities, time-
line, investment requirements and implementation arrangements
Afterwards, participants were divided into groups according to provinces. Guided by the resource
persons’ and facilitators’ inputs, they all constructed their respective Provincial Strategies to
translate the Regional Vision into specific approaches to get the best results. (Please refer to Annex 3
for complete Provincial SWS Plans). A member of each group presented the group outputs to the
plenary and each group has gathered comments and suggestions to enhance their outputs.
Following are the discussion/comments points during the critiquing process:
Provinces Comments/Feedback ( Suggestions and Areas for Clarification)

 Ensure realistic targets and reconcile inconsistencies of
targets with the situationer eg. Cost vs a vis targets
 Think another process how to ensure consistency of cost
with targets
 Specify and fine tune Key result Areas( KRA)portion
 Consider prioritization of programs, activities for higher
Surigao del Sur
impact eg. Criteria should consider supply of water
 Push development of ordinances
 Intensify campaign and advocacy to get a good buy-in and
support from LCEs
 Take a look at solid waste management issues
 Well thought of and good presentation
 Ordinance formulation, policy development, awareness

campaign
 Siargao Island - as a pilot project for water supply and
septage management since it is a world renowned tourist
Surigao del Norte
destination and can be used as a best practice in Surigao del
Norte in the area of local governance
 adjust cost of equipment or materials in island municipalities
 Community Based Research and Development - causes of

sickness - water borne diseases or due to environmental
degradation
 Water exploration - to utilize lake mainit as a potential
source of water
 Infrastructure related - include ROW costs in the planning
 Database management for water and sanitation - important
Agusan del Norte for planning
 Higher targets for ZOD and ask governor to champion the
clustering of septage management
 Inclusion of IP in the monitoring of the watershed
management
 Design of septic tanks - to be more stringent on new or

future residential or commercial buildings

 Design of septic tanks - to be more stringent on new or
Dinagat Islands future residential or commercial buildings
 Projects are well planned however there is a need for
supporting documents (Feasibility Studies).
 Deadline of submission of proposal should be in line with the
timeline so that it will be included in the budget or grants.
 It will generate more interest if you can package it with a
climate change element or with health, there are multiple
funders.
 In a year, allocate 8 to 10 families with construction
materials for building their own sanitation facilities
 With regards to the situation with PNPI, it should be the
province supplying water to the industry and not the other
way around.
 Plans and KRAs to have a corresponding agency which will

be responsible for its construction and maintenance
 Implementation arrangements and cost sharing mechanisms
 Database aspect and capacity building - ask private sector to
help fund toilets
 Incorporate disaster risk management in the water and
sanitation plans because the plans may become useless
Agusan del Sur
during unexpected floods or drought.
 Have a list of the priority projects that is needed to achieve
the targets for water and sanitation
 Try to learn from the lessons of others - example is that DOH
stopped giving out toilet bowls to the people.
 Research and Project Development - give evidence based
project, identifying a project because there is a need for it
Butuan City  VGF and social acceptability of the people towards septage
treatment
 Awareness raising campaign
 Using disaster risk reduction fund for putting up sanitation
facilities in schools as evacuation centers
17 | P a g e
 Provincial Water and Sanitation Regulatory Board - what will
be its mandate, who will give it the power of authority, what
will it regulate, where will it source its funds and who will be
in charge
 KRA - it should be the output of the organization example:
number of ordinances passed, number of entities fined or
Surigao del Sur penalized
 Sanitation plans/projects should not only focus on the
household level but on the community level with the
inclusion of the collection and treatment of the septage.
 Cultural and Behavioral change is needed and not only
infrastructure because it will only be useless if the people do
not understand its importance.
After the plenary presentation, the facilitator Ms. Joyce Gonzaga proceeded by synthesizing and
wrapping up all presentations. For consistency, she made use of the three assessment areas of water
supply and sanitation to wrap up all the strategies configured and formulated.
Below are the key points of synthesis presentation:
 Strategies are well thought of, and well crafted. In-depth assessment indeed helped a lot in
coming up with calculated, maximized and cautious strategies.

MODULE 4-KEY RESULT AREAS POLICIES, PROGRAMS, PROJECTS, ACTIVITIES, TIME-LINE,

INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS AND IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS
Participants have also identified Key Result Areas, Policies, Programs, Projects, Activities, Investment
Requirements, Time-line and Implementation Arrangements anchored on the Regional Vision, and
the strategies they have formulated for their respective provinces. (Please see Annex 3))
4.2 Inputs on Financial Aspects (Ms. Lisa Cruz)
 It was discussed that KRA is a major concern for region /province as LGU are expected to
invest their energy, time and talent during their period of commitment. This kind of
investment must be gauged in order to determine the effectiveness of strategies formulated
and implemented.
 KRAs are also measures of benefits it offered for the community or entity. It should focus on
the critical factors variables- political, economic, social, technological and ecological.
 For WSP, KRAs are gauged in the areas that include: 1) technical, 2) financial, 3)
organizational, 4) others
 In strategic planning, KRAs are critical elements that measures the short term, medium term
and long term results
 Financial planning include : 1)resources needed, 2) possible sources of funds, 3) repayment
schemes, 4) tariff designs and levels, 5) operating options
 The discussion on financial aspects started with an overview of the Objectively Variable
Indicators in a Project performance. A differentiation was made between Key result Areas
(Kraus) and Performance Indicators. The latter talks about the evidences that a project has
accomplished in its operation.
 It was discussed that OVIs has three levels of indicators :
1. Technical performance indicators. These are indicators of the operational
performance including health and environmental indicators.
2. Financial Performance. These are indicators of the financially sustainable
operations
3. Public Satisfaction Indicators. These are the behavior and satisfaction in the local
community served by the project
The last part of Day 3 tackled Capacity Assessment handled by Mr. Leo de Castro. The Capacity
assessment is aimed at assessing the capacity gaps so that an appropriate capacity development
intervention can be designed and implemented Mr. de Castro introduced the tools and presented
the objectives as well as the implementation details of capacity development as a form of
intervention to ensure effectiveness in PWSSMP implementation at various levels.

Part 3 – MOVING FORWARD
MOVING FORWARD AND CLOSING PROGRAM
The last day of the workshop tackled ways of moving forward after the workshop facilitated by Mr.
leo de Castro. A couple of participants from each province shared their proposed actions that would
help sustain the momentum of plan formulation and eventually facilitate the initial implementation
of the plan.
Below are the commitments of each province to move forward:
Provinces Initial plan of action

 Gather data and make it sound, need a baseline
and benchmark for making a master plan
NEDA Caraga  Additional capability training for provinces
 Face the challenge of plan integration to the
provincial development plans – present to the
council
 Building alliances
Agusan del Norte
 Share resources and complement each other
 Include plans and programs in the updating of the
Surigao del Sur
PDPFP
 Create Buy In--- “ Master Planning “ at the
Surigao del Norte
Provincial level
 Establish Sound Data( eg. inventory and WSS

 Capability Building to prepare the Provincial
Dinagat Islands
Master Plan – Water Supply and Sanitation
Participants Insights, Learnings and Impressions
 The workshop is helpful to us in assessing the real need of our provinces. We appreciate it
very much in involving us and making our voices heard in the process
 We are so thankful to the team for going down with us and considering us as ground experts
 We just experienced “positive overloading”– we learned a lot and we feel we have the
capacity to implement them as our defined strategies need a collective action
 “Sana maulit muli” We hope there is a similar process like this as we go on into provinces
and municipalities
 The kind of process we all experienced is very relevant in today’s situation as we pushed for
ownership and participation
 We can bring this approach to our provinces- it is good to be part of the process
 We just realized that Caraga is rich in all aspects. There are a lot of opportunities to be
explored where we can draw solutions to our issues and challenges
20 | P a g e
 Hats off to everyone. A relevant and one of a kind approach
 We are inspired by the experts – their expertise, passion and commitment to the sector.
“Kayong lahat ay magagaling na speaker” as your inputs have equipped us more .With your
guidance, we need you to capacitate us more
 Workshop results and outputs have exceeded expectation
Closing Message of NEDA-Caraga Regional Director, Mylah Faye Aurora B. Cariño
Some of her compelling and inspiring thoughts shared by the Regional Director are the following:
 The role of NEDA is very important as it synchronizes the tasks of country planning and
development
 NEDA CO - to provide trainings so that those who will be trained and will be able to cascade
to the municipalities the learnings and capacities they have developed
 DPWH - not only to provide financial window but also to provide capacity training to make
proposal
 Even though there is a demand for water and sanitation the next issues is that the
municipalities, cities, provinces or even the region do not have the technical capacity to
create a water and sanitation master plan – the need then for capacity development
interventions.
 Water is needed to advance economic development especially for tourist areas. The more
people more water is needed.
 Provide funding for FS or prioritize projects even without FS
 There has to be an integrated pool of expertise to ensure integration of plans and program
 Needs are evolving therefore interventions must be evolving too
Wrapping up thoughts from the Team Leader- Engr. Noel Ortigas
 Good reception from Caraga region. This paved the way for a well prepared and a well
thought of workshop design.
 Active participants were worth noting as they demonstrated commitments, and ownership
to the planning process being undertaken.
 The workshop was output -driven. Participants were all committed to accomplish the tasks
 The process was indeed participatory, demand driven and reinforced the bottom up
approach to planning
 In planning money is not a constraint. Good justification of the plan demands in dept.
assessment of the issues—creating demand for funding assistance.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Regional Workshop of ARMM Cluster 1 for the Formulation of the Philippine Water
Supply and Sanitation Master Plan hosted by the Regional Planning and Development Office
took place on June 19 to 21 2018 at the Jehan all, Alnor Hotel and Convention Center,
Cotabato City. The Engineering and Development Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP),
Tractebel Inc., and Orient Integrated Development Consultants (OIDCI) facilitated the three-
day workshop.
The regional workshop’s main objectives are: (a) to develop a more comprehensive picture
on water and sanitation situation of ARMM ; (b) to produce the regional water and sanitation
vision; and (c) to identify strategies, key programs, and projects for short, medium, and long
terms. There are six desired outputs for the workshops: 1) WSS Sector Situation of each
Region; 2) Sector Vision 2030; 3) Strategies; 4) Key Programs; 5) Priority
The participants formulated a vision for their provinces, and for their region. The
Maguindanao’s vision for their province is; “By 2030, all Maguindanaons have access to safe
and sustainable water system and complete basic sanitation facilities with stakeholders
valuing, prioritizing, supporting and effectively implementing water supply and sanitation
programs”, Lanao del Sur’s vision is “By 2030, the Province of Lanao Del Sur will have full access
to a sustainable water supply and sanitation services 24/7, managed by highly skilled technical
personnel through the harmonious relationship, between LGUs and concerned agencies with the
cooperation of the entire community” and while their vision for the region is “By 2030, The ARMM is
a world-class service provider of affordable, sufficient and potable water; and has
sustainable water system and healthy environment”.
The regional WSS situation was put together by the provincial government offices. Their
presentations captured the level of access to safe water and sanitation services. The group
discussion that followed gave context to their numbers. Some of the key issues that were
highlighted are the following: lack of financial mechanism to establish sewerage treatment
plant, lack of initiative to impose tariff on sanitation facility operation and maintenance,
conflicting national and regulatory policies, numerous political issues, and lack of dedicated
government agency that could address all water and waste water concerns.
A total of 45 participants from different regional government line agencies, water districts,
and provincial local government units (LGUs) attended the workshop:

1.1 Welcome Remarks
ENGR. BAINTAN A. AMPATUAN
Regional Planning and Development Office

Regional Director
Engr. Baintan formally welcomed the guests, participants and the

Consultants who came all the way from Manila. Three companies worked
together to make the workshop possible - Mr. Theo of OIDCI, the
community participation specialist, Mr. Jay Tecson of Tractebel Inc., the
principal sanitation specialist, and Mr Philip Diokno of EDCOP, the water supply specialist. She also
welcomed and recognized the presence of the participants coming from Maguindanao District,
Lanao Del Sur, LGU of Upi, DPWH Maguindanao District Engineering Office, PSA, DPWH
Maguindanao District 2, DOH ARMM, DPWH Lanao, Metro Cotabato Water District, serving part of
Maguindnao, from the academe, MSU Maguindanao, Department of Health – ARMM, and from an
NGO Single Drop of Water.
She pointed out that the planning workshop for the WSS was suggested by the Regional Economic
and Development Planning Board during the master plan preparation last March 2018 in Cotabato
City. To prepare the WSS master plan, this workshop was conceptualized by NEDA. The input will
inform, update and guide us on the best practices and technologies that actually exist but somehow
not documented and not yet applied in the ARMM. The participants could also share the WSS issues
existing in our region.
She encouraged the participants to share the real issues, situations and concerns existing in their
respective provinces because whatever inputs coming from them will be valuable in crafting the
master plan. There are issues of where to get potable water in the marsh land of Maguindanao
province. 58% of water found in Maguindanao is potable while the other 42% is unsafe resulting in
water-borne related diseases.
She then ended her speech with an encouragement to look at this master plan making as a long
term solution to the WSS problems the people of ARMM have.
1.2 Closing Message

ENGR. JAY TECSON
Principal Sanitiation Specialist
Mr. Jay Tecson thanked the participants for their presentations and active
participation that helped the workshop became successful. Although the
three-day workshop was not enough to really tackle all the topics in plenary,
they were at least able to deliver all the presentations and get the desired
outputs from the participants in the. He also thanked those who stayed until
the end of the workshop.

MR. DONDI ALIKPALA

Institutional Specialist
Mr. Dondi Alikpala presented the overview of the project with

emphasis on the Philippine Development Plan’s target that in
2022 every Filipino’s safe water access will increase to 95.16%
and increase access to basic sanitation to 97.46%. He also
referred to the Sustainable Development Goals in 2030 that
aims to provide universal and equitable access to safe and
affordable drinking water. The project’s four objectives were also highlighted: 1) A Master
Plan to achieve targets in water supply and sanitation, 2) Develop strategies, policy
reforms, identify priority programs and projects (short, medium and long term); 3) Update
and integrate PWSSR and PSSR into a single comprehensive Master Plan, and link all
other initiative in relation to WSS, such as Unified Financing Framework (UFF); and 4)
Capacity building of NEDA and other agencies/institutions.
He also emphasized that NEDA is now on their ninth month in of their provincial
consultations conducted to formulate a draft of PWSSMP that will give a long term
solution to the problems in water supply, especially sanitation that is given less attention
in the national and even more in the local level.
Session 1b.2: Overview of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Sector
MR. DONDI ALIKPALA
To provide a context of the situation at the national level, Mr. Dondi Alikpala explained
that poor governance and lack of technical/managerial capacities in many WSPs, limited
access to finance, weak regulation, fragmented sector policy development and planning
have all contributed to the issues of access to improved water supply and sanitation.
Mr. Dondi Alikpala pointed out that universal access to water supply and sanitation is
hindered due to challenges in resources, regulation, governance and institutional,
financing, management and political.

Session 1c.1: Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation
PRESENTATION OF PROVINCIAL REPRESENTATIVES
The following are the discussions and questions raised during the provincial presentation
of current water supply and sanitation situation in ARMM Cluster 1:
IPHO Maguindanao – Water Supply and Sanitation Situation
Discussion:
Out of 500 barangays, the province has only 325 brgy health stations, 5 hospitals, and 36 RHUs.
Very striking here is that the entire province only has total of 23 rural sanitary inspectors. In
terms of human resources, man power is very far from the ideal. The Ideal ratio of a RSI to
human population is 1:20,000, but in the case of Maguindanao, the reality here is 1:48,832. The
6
23 RSI are serving 1.1 million people of Maguindanao. There are only 12 permanent RSI, 5 casual
workers, and 6 municipally paid.
In 2017, one of the ten leading cause of illness in Maguindanao is diarrhoea, a water borne
disease. In 2016, it ranked 4th, and in 2017, it ranked 5th. The province had 41 neonatal deaths in
2017, 50% of neonatal deaths were due to infectious disease, and of course, diarrhoea is one of
them.
Environmental Health and Sanitation Program Accomplishments
In 2017, the province had only about 48% of the 95% 2022 access to safe water target, and out of
that 48%, 38% has access to level 1, 9% with access to level 2 and only 3 % has access to level 3.
7
There were 29 reporting units, out of the 23 RSIs that Maguindanao have, some of them handled
two municipalities.
And for the access to sanitary toilet, the achievement was only 46% out of 95% of the 2022
target. Satisfactory disposal of solid waste reached 37%.
Being compliant to one of the legacies of the Duterte administration’s health agenda, the
province declared 5 municipalities ZOD. During the health summit, the provincial governor
awarded those 5 municipalities and also to motivate other municipalities to implement the ZOD
program.
Aside from those ZOD municipalities, there are 11 Municipalities with ZOD barangays. 20% of the
508 barangays in Maguindanao is declared ZOD.
8
This graph above is a reflection of our ZOD activity. As indicated in the graph, only 33% of
Households in Maguindanao had access to basic sanitation facilities in 2017. While this is a good
opportunity for LGUs to generate income, only 37% of the food establishments were issued
sanitary permit.
Only 40 of food handlers were issued with health certificates. There is a decreasing number in
diarrhoea cases among children, from which this decrease in number could be a reflection of
those ZOD campaign.
Out of 36 municipalities, there are only 12 permanent sanitary Inspectors and some of the SIs are
9
multi – coverage or handling more than 1

municipality.
Clarifications/Questions and Answers/ suggestions:
 QUESTION: Could you explain what activities did you make possible to declare those 5
municipalities and the other 100 barangays as ZOD?
ANSWER: The first step we did was to hold a session with the municipal government and we
oriented them about the ZOD program. There were consultations with the sanitary
inspectors of the municipalities to give us the data of how many people have no toilet, how
many households are sharing one communal
toilet, and how many households have their
own toilets.
And then after gathering data, we went to

check those priority target households. We
counted how many shared toilets are needed
to be created. On the system of shared toilets,
there is limit on how many households can use
shared toilets. Household cannot use the
shared toilet if it is 30m away from the
sanitation facility, and only 2 houses are
allowed to share in one toilet.
 QUESTION: Did you provide those target households with toilets?

ANSWER: No. In IPHO Maguindanao, the grade 1 status of ZOD is behavioural change. Our
approach was behavioural. We motivated the people in Barangay to change their behaviour,
they always believed that OD is part of their culture, and we explained to them that it is
actually just a habit and lack of knowledge on basic sanitation and the effects of it to our
health and environment.
Actually, In Maguindanao there are two Barangays that has grade 2 status on ZOD, but we
cannot declare yet that these two barangays; 1 from Upi, the other is from Paglat, are Grade
2 in status of ZOD because we are waiting for the national guidelines as to what is Grade 2
Status but as for now we are using the category given by the Unicef that grade 2 status is
every houses in a barangay has their own water seat toilet.
DPWH MAGUINDANAO District 1 - Water Supply and Sanitation
10
Discussion:
This is our project on water system for level 1. These 11 units on level 1 system are hand pumps.
On level 2, there are tanks supplied by water either from deep well with pump or from springs.
For level 3, we only have 1 (one) level 3 water system and that is located in Macasandag, Parang
Maguindanao.
And for Sanitation Projects, we have established 108 units of toilets in schools in Maguindanao
and it was funded by DepED. As of today, only 50% of those toilets are functional because the
other 50% of those do not have source of water.
This is our water supply investment for 2012-2017. We have a total of PhP 226,925,000 invest for
water system.
11
DPWH - MAGUINDANAO District 2 - Water Supply and Sanitation Situation
Discussion:
There are 94 water system projects that benefit 52,069 household beneficiaries. The DPWH
Maguindanao District 2 conducted a survey to find potential sources of water and found sources
from 8 municipalities; South Up, Datu Saudi, Datu Unsay, Datu Abdullah Sangki, Mamasapano,
Datu Blah SInsuat
Lanao Del Sur - PBO Water Supply and Sanitation Situation
The 38 municipalities of the province are divided into 6 districts of municipal hospitals, and the
area under IPHO has greatest number of households with access to level 1 and level3 while Wao
district covering the municipality of Bumbaran has the lowest number of household with access
to level 1 water supply.
12
The Balindong Municipal Hospital covers greater number of households with access to level 2
supply of water with a total of 8,269 HH as compared to the Unayan Municipal Hospital which has
3,395 household with access to level 2 water supplies.
Most of water sources in Lanao Del Sur are coming from the lake, those who cannot access the
lake are using deep well. In Marawi City, most household are using deep wells as source of
potable water.
Questions/Classifications:
 QUESTION: Are there no ZOD declared municipalities in Lanao Del Sur?
ANSWER: We had CLTS training in Iligan, after the training, that’s when the Marawi Siege
started, so all the Sanitary Inspectors of Lanao was not able to conduct the CLTS in Lanao.

Session 1c.2: Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Situation: Facilitating

MR. THEO DEMAISIP

The participants were grouped into three pillars. Each group

was tasked to give two major issues or problems on water
supply and sanitation. The first group was assigned to give
and write down the issues on Planning and Development.
Group two provided also two issues on Regulatory. The third
group listed down two issues on Service Provision.
On every issue, participants have to give the hindering factor

and mitigating factors in terms of Policy and Institutional,
Leadership, Behavioral, and Capacities / Competencies.
Theme 1: Planning and Development

Key points to focus include allocation of resources (financing and funding mechanisms),
priority for development, cost recovery mechanisms, policies at the national and local
level, set standards.
Theme 2: Service Provisions

Key points to focus include infrastructure expansion, rehabilitation, water quality, climate
resiliency/disaster risk reduction of systems and infrastructures.
Theme 3: Regulation
Key points to focus include monitoring and evaluation of compliance to standards, review
and approval of tariff proposals, implementation of sanctions and incentives.

Discussion:
One of the examples is

what happened in Marawi
City, there are areas that
are in need of immediate
source of water because
the constituents are going
back to Marawi. The
problem is they are lacking
funds for the rehabilitations
of the pump stations that
were ruined during the
28
siege.
It was suggested that there

should be a creation of an
agency that will focus
mainly on Water Supply
and Sanitation problems.
For example, like what
happened in Marawi, If
there was an identified
agency that we could
pinpoint it would be easier
to communicate with them
to ask for help, since that
agency is already identified.

3.2 MODULE 2: WHERE WE WANT TO BE?
Session 2a: Formulating the Regional WSS Sector Vision
MR. THEO DEMAISIP

The participants were grouped according to their designated
provinces. Each was asked to imagine the kind of province they
have by 2030 in relation to water and sanitation. Each of the
participants was tasked to write down three concrete elements
on the blue meta cards. Each of the province came up with (5)
five common elements that would be the bases of their desired
vision for their provinces.
LANAO DEL SUR VISION:
“By 2030, the Province of Lanao Del Sur will have full access to a sustainable water supply
and sanitation services 24/7, managed by highly skilled technical personnel through the harmonious
relationship, between LGUs and concerned agencies with the cooperation of the entire community.”
Discussion:
We need a technical personnel who will lead the LGU and concerned agencies in making sure the
community gets sustainable access to water systems, and has proper access to sanitation and
that’s 24/7 service. And also, we want to sure that the community will be part of planning and
decision making on water supply and sanitation projects.
47
MAGUINDANAO VISION
“By 2030, all Maguindanaons have access to safe and sustainable water system
and complete basic sanitation facilities with stakeholders valuing, prioritizing,
supporting and effectively implementing water supply and sanitation programs.”
Discussion:
The Maguindanao province seeks to provide everyone in the province to have access to safe
water and basic sanitation facilities. We seek that everyone in the province by 2030 will be
motivated in prioritizing their need to have water supply and sanitation, and they will fully
support the implementation of WSS programs.
48
MAGUINDANAO VISION
“By 2030, The ARMM is a world-class service provider of affordable, sufficient and
potable water; and has sustainable water system and healthy environment.”
No Discussion.
49
Session 3a: Concepts, Approaches and Technologies in Urban and Rural

Setting
Water Supply
MR. PHILIP DIOKNO
Mr Philip Diokno discussed basic concepts of the water cycle and
the importance of watershed as well as the service levels
appropriate in urban and rural areas. He explained the technology
options for urban and rural areas including the cost options. He
also elucidated that not all Level 2 service type could be
converted to Level 3 service connection.
Discussion:
 If volume of human waste is big, then its methane gas can be used to provide
electricity for the households.
.
 It was suggested that every project on water system must have feasibility study in
order to determine how many years the project will survive, if the water source is
abundant enough to sustain the water system. This feasibility study must include
marketing aspect, the economic aspect, social acceptability and engineering aspect.
 In Lanao Del Sur, there are about 39 municipalities with some urban areas, but only
the Municipality of Wao and Marawi City have Level 3 water system because of its
good feasibility study.
 This feasibility study is also the basis of NEDA in determining which level is
appropriate for that certain target or area, and giving fund for projects.
 Question: If I am a private individual who have abundant source of water and I want
to share it others, do I need to get a permit, is it from a government agency?
Answer: Yes, even the LGU has to get a permit from the NWRB. It’s not about the
political issue but it is because the environmental balance. The NWRB will determine
how much water must be allocated.
 Question: Is there an instrument that would measure if the water is capable of

supplying a certain are?
50
Answer: Yes, there is an instrument in determining the sustainability or capacity of

water.
 Question: Metro Cotabato Water District’s source of water is surface water. Now if
Upi for example has a plan to establish their own water district, is it okay for them to
get from the same source of water?
Answer: They have to find another source of water because the source of water of
Cotabato water district is already allocated.
 Question: Can private institutions establish their own water system?
Answer: Yes, if the NWRB will provide them water right or permit. It is illegal for
private institutions or even government agencies to operate a water system of their
own without permit so the violators will be penalized, or the private institutions will be
forced to close down.
Sanitation
ENGR. JAY TECSON
Engr. Tecson gave a quick review of the SDGs goal

regarding sanitation, and the essential components of a
sanitation program, the approach used in developing
sanitation program which is the integration of the following
components: infrastructure, products and services,
appropriate promotional approaches, and supportive
environment.
Engr. Tecson differentiated wastewater treatment options into natural and mechanized,
onsite and offsite, centralized and decentralized. He also said that a drainage system
could be used as a sewer system. He explained that a practical approach to septage
management is to cluster municipalities so that one septage treatment plant can serve
several municipalities in each clusters.
Discussion:
 In ARMM, only 1 out of 5 households has access to improved sanitation. But

they have higher basic sanitation percentage.
 ARMM is also number one (1) in open defecating with 18.32% of OD.
51
 It is better to use simple than complex projects in the region so that the
community could understand better the management and maintenance of
simple.
 Simple sanitation projects would decrease the incidences of diseases by

37%.
 It would be better to create a council rather than a committee that would

enforce the implementation of the projects since a council could focus more
on the project enforcement.
Session 3b.2: Setting WSS Target for 2022 and 2030

Presentation of WSS Targets by Provincial Representatives
The participants were grouped together by province to brainstorm and set targets to
achieve increased access to water supply and sanitation. Each group presented by
province. Mr. Diokno and Engr. Tecson assessed their activities and targets.
Annex 2: WSS Targets, Projections, Plans and Investment, Capacity Assessment
3.3 MODULE 4: IDENTIFYING CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS IN SUPPORT OF

THE REGIONAL MASTER PLAN
MR. THEO DEMAISIP

The last activity was an assessment of the provincial capacity and

resources. Each province had to determine what capacity
requirements are needed to implement and monitor the WSS plan
and ensure its sustainability. Each province was given an
assessment checklist to fill out.

Sanitation Targets
Discussion:
Actually, there are higher numbers of households that have their own toilets and septic
tanks, but that “no toilet and OD” indicated above are those households that have not been
monitored because they are located on the higher grounds of the province. There are
citizens who share toilets with other households. Mostly, they are using the toilets of the
Masjid (building for Islamic public worship) when they do not have their own toilets.
Most of houses beside the lake do not have septic tanks according to the survey conducted.
There are some 50 houses that have their own septic tank but that was not reflected in the
survey. It was suggested that the surveyors should be coming from other province or region
and not from Lanao to avoid manipulation of the data results.

Discussion:
Above is the result of the plan in dividing the 38 municipalities of Lanao del Sur into 7
clusters. Those shaded with blue in the boxes are the municipalities who have the potential
for septage management. The way we picked those potential host municipalities is by
choosing which one is in the center of every cluster, and those in low-lands.
In Cluster 1, Saguiaran and Marantao as potential host for septage management. Although
between Marantao and Saguiaran is Marawi City, we decided to separate it since the ideal
population for every cluster is 100,000 to 150,000, and Marawi City has reached that limit.
Bacolod Kalawi and Ganassi are the hosts for Cluster 2, Malabang and Balabagan for
Cluster 3, Lumbatan and Bayang for Cluster 4 and these two municipalities share only one
pump station. For Cluster 5, Taraka and Lumba Bayabao are potential hosts, while for
Cluster 6, Wao which has a water district and also located between Bumbaran and Maguing.
57
Discussion:
In Lanao Del Sur we have 12 Urban Barangays, 1,147 rural brgys. with a total of 1,159
brgys. Our population growth is estimated to 1.91% for 2015 – 2022, decreasing to 1.49% in
2022-2030.
That 20% in the Level 1 water system for 2015 coverage are those in the upper or higher
grounds. 40% of households use Level 2 water system, and only 20 percent has access to
Level 3 water system.
In 2022, 5% from the 20 percent in 2015 Level 1 users were targeted to upgrade their water
system to Level 3. 10% of Level 2 users in 2015 will also be upgraded to Level 3 and 50% of
households in Lanao del Sur are expected to have access to Level 3 water system service.
If by 2022, those non-operational pump stations in Marawi City and in other municipalities
will be activated, then it is possible to reach 50% of households with access to Level 3.
In 2030, every households must have access to water systems, 85% of them will have
access to Level 3, 10% with access to Level 2 and only 5% remaining at Level 1.
58
Discussion:
Our ongoing project in Lanao Del Sur is this Assessment of Existing Marawi City Water
District Water System and this ia only a short term program. The ICRC is helping fund the
project and they also helped us tapped Maynilad. We conducted drilling with Maynilad to
determine which areas are needed to be repaired.
Our proposed budget for the construction of Pump station, reservoir and pipelines from
Barangay Bubonga, Marawi to Buadi Sacayo to Sagongsongan is PhP 50,000,000. This
proposal has been submitted to the Marawi LGU and DPWH – Lanao Del Sur and we are
still waiting for their next move.
On this Salin Tubig Program, 7 baranggays are included for this project. DILG clustered the
7 barangays into two; the first cluster includes Brgy. Malutlut, Brgy. East Malutlut where they
are planning to establish a pump station and reservoir. The second cluster includes Mipanga
and Sagongsongan. Their plan for the second cluster is to provide water and temporary
shelter for Sagongsongan.
59
That Php 5.4 million investment cost for water supply is based on the faux pas on 2013 that
the population of the LDS will reach 1.3 million. But it is not yet identified to what certain
projects are to be implemented under this 5.4 million budget. So our group proposed that the
rehabilitations for those nonoperational water districts that was destroyed during the Marawi
Siege will be deducted from this 5.4 million budget. Also, we also want to identify those
LGUs that do not have Water Districts yet and help them set up one. There are still other
projects that we are still in process of identifying which could help in reaching the target to
provide 95% of households in Lanao Del Sur access to water systems.
For basic sanitation program for Lanao Del Sur, we included those 7 clusters under this
project for the STP. Basic sanitation is primarily a private sector expense, although if DOH
could provide toilets to households if they want to then that would be allowed. So what we
suggest to do is to make programs to campaign and influence the community about basic
sanitation and change their behavior towards sanitation in a good way.

Discussion:
This Rural Onsite Intervention is intended for those communities far from the rural areas who
cannot be reached by the sewerage system. This Rural Onsite Intervention will be funded by
the government because the people could not even provide a toilet for their household how
much more for this onsite treatment. But this ROI are for extreme cases like for those in the
higher lands, like those in the mountains and those of communities in an island.

Discussion:
In Maguindanao, we do not have HUCs but only municipalities. In Maguindanao, there are
35, urban barangays, and 473 rural barangays, with the total or 508 municipalities.
In 2015, the percentage of households that has access to water system is very low. Only 5%
is using Level 1 water system. 20% of households have access to Level 2 and only 1
percent has access to Level 3 water system.
By 2022, we are targeting to increase the percentage of households with access to water
system. From 5%, we want to increase it up to 20% of households with access to Level 1, a
greater number of Level 2 water system users with a percentage of 60%, and 15% from 1%
with access to Level 3 water system.
65
As of now, only the Municipality of Parang have access to level 3 water system, and some
parts of Datu Odin Sinsuat is covered by Metro Cotabato Water District.
66
67
Discussion:
We want to establish in every municipality of Maguindanao a Level 2 water system and all of that
are long term. And that’s the same case for sanitation; we want to build a STP for every
municipality.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To help address the challenge of Water Supply and Sanitation in the country a series of
consultation workshop was conducted all over the Philippines to get regional inputs on how to
strategically move forward. There are six desired outputs for the workshops: 1) WSS Sector
Situationer of each Region; 2) Sector Vision 2030; 3) Strategies; 4) Key Programs; 5) Priority
The result of the workshops will be utilised to formulate the Philippine Water Supply and
Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP) to help achieve the water supply and sanitation target of the
country (PDP 2017-2022).
The workshop for Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM- Basilan, Sulu & Tawi-
Tawi) was conducted on 27-29 June 2018 at the Briza Hall, Lantaka Hotel by the Sea,
Zamboanga City.
The three provincial participants from ARMM (Cluster 2) crafted their respective vision which
are as follows:
Basilan
“By 2040, Basilan will have a sustainable balance environment with clear air where
water and sanitation is in place and people live peacefully and happily.
Sulu
By 2040, every family will live with sustainable access to safe water and good
sanitation.
Tawi- Tawi
By 2040, Tawi- Tawi will have easy access to adequate, potable, and sustainable
water, sanitation and hygiene with care for the environment.
A unified regional vision cannot be crafted yet as Cluster 1 of ARMM has developed
their respective provincial visions as well during their sub-regional Consultative Workshop.
A total of 35 participants from different regional government line agencies, water
districts, and Local Government Units of ARMM-Cluster 2 have attended the workshop:
Department of Health- ARMM National Commission on Muslim Filipino

Department of Public Works and Highways- PBO
ARMM Provincial Health Office of Basilan
Department of Public Works and Highways- Provincial Planning Division Office of Basilan
Basilan Provincial Planning Division Office of Sulu
Jolo Water District Regional Planning and Development Office-
Local Government Unit- Basilan ARMM
Local Government Unit- Sulu Zamboanga City Water District

1.0 OPENING CEREMONY
The program started with both Muslim and Christian prayers, followed by the National
Anthem.
1.1 Welcome/ Opening Remarks

Engr. Mona Ali Pandita
Engineer III
Department of Health, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
Engr. Pandita cheerfully welcomed all the participants with special mention of his fellow
Senior Officials in DOH- ARMM and District Engineers from the three participating provinces,
BASULTA. He exclaimed that this is a good opportunity to gather together and he desired that
everyone will be on-task for this Regional Planning Workshop on the Formulation of PWSSMP
because whatever will be achieved from here will be part of their legacy to their respective
provinces and to ARMM, in general. He urged all the participants to do this right for the future.
He, likewise, presented realistic statistics in terms of the country’s status in the fulfillment
of the SDG. He mentioned that the achievement of SDG targets on Water and Sanitation is
very low in both the Philippines and internationally. Accordingly, of the 71% target on SDG 6,
only 61% was achieved. For the years 2017-2035 the target is to reach 93% or even 97%,
which is a big challenge. He was hopeful this can be realized. Through this workshop, it will
be determined if SDG 6.1 and 6. 2 (Drinking Water and Sanitation and Hygiene) is attainable.
Finally, he welcomed everyone to this opportune consultation workshop.
1.2 Introduction of Participants

2.1 Session 1a: Overview of the Project: Formulation of the Philippine WSS Master Plan
Project (PWSSMP)
Ms. Bebet Gozun
Ms. Bebet presented the Overview of the Formulation of the Philippine WSS Master
Plan (PWSSMP). Her presentation covers three major topics 1.) explanation about the Project,
2.) the Project Objectives and 3.) Project Activity Schedule. She placed emphasis on the
Philippine Development Plan’s target to increase safe water access to 95.16% and increase
access to basic sanitation to 97.46%. The Sustainable Development Goals (2030) which
include universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and universal
access to adequate and equitable sanitation was mentioned, too. It was further clarified that
“universal” means 100% in both sanitation and supply.
The project’s four objectives, were also highlighted: 1) A Master Plan to achieve targets
in water supply and sanitation, 2) Develop strategies, policy reforms, identify priority programs
and projects (short, medium and long term); 3) Update and integrate PWSSR and PSSR into
a single comprehensive Master Plan, and link all other initiative in relation to WSS, such as
Unified Financing Framework (UFF); and 4) Capacity building of NEDA and other
agencies/institutions.
She added that the project’s
implementation throughout the whole
country is targeted to be completed within
a one- year period. She shared how she
pushed for the realization of the Clean
Water Act in 2004. Likewise, she
mentioned the case in Payatas where
there was no awareness in wastewater
and how this contributed to the problem
because “what is out of sight is out of mind
Ms. Bebet cascading the Project overview
too”.
Furthermore, she stressed that not only a
National Master Plan is needed, all Regions must know what to do since they will draft the
Regional Road Map which will become the basis for the Investment Program and Financing
Plan. The purpose of this workshop is to make sure that everyone is aligned with the goals
and targets in order to meet the Sector’s Vision which is for “All Filipinos to have access to
Clean Water and Sanitation”
Ms. Bebet highlighted the different terms found under the SDG and defined them
These terms include Universal, Equitable, Accessible. She pointed out that under SDG 6.1,
not everyone is in L3 of Water Supply since not all communities enjoy 30 minutes round trip
for water collection. She mentioned situations in evacuation and detention centres during
Zamboanga Siege and Marawi Crisis where there was a delay in the putting up of portable
toilets that ultimately led to unhygienic surroundings for evacuees. Issues such as this
together with climate change concerns are advised to be incorporated in the province’s Master
Plan. She also desired that OD be zeroed out so we can move up in the service ladder
7
As per the participants output, she informed them that once the regional Road Map is
approved, it will be forwarded to their respective Regional Development Council for investment
preparation. Lastly, it will then be integrated into the National Master Plan.
She also cascaded the program activities and the required outputs to be submitted per
province.
She ended her presentation by reminding all the participants of the two pressing goals:
safe accessible water and improved sanitation.
2.2 Session 1b: Overview of the PWSS Sector (National Level)

Engr. Rene Capiz
Engr. Capiz showed the situation of the WSS Sector (Where Are We Now). He
explained the different barriers that impede our goals. Likewise, to back his claim on the
present status of the WSS Sector, he displayed a Philippine map reflecting WATSAN statistics.
Covered in his session are the sources of water supply wherein he stated Rainwater
as the origin of all waters on earth. Rainwater is then transformed into surface water and
ground water.
As per data, the Water Supply Sector in the JMP has lower percentage (87.7%) as
compared to PSA’s 91.8%. More than 50% has no piped water since generally, L3 are
concentrated in the country’s urban areas. Poor governance and lack of technical/managerial
capacities in many WSPs, limited access to finance, weak regulation, fragmented sector policy
development and planning are the factors contributing to the WSS data. He also tackled
unsafe sources of water and expounded each of them. It was also stressed out that 5 in 10
people in ARMM has no access to safe water which is quite alarming since it has the highest
figure compared to other regions.
Another data he shared is a table
showing the number of Water Districts in
ARMM the source of which is from PAWAD.
He asked the participants to confirm if the
numbers are still valid. A participant from
DPWH-ARMM opined that there are about
three WDs that will be formed soon in Tawi-
tawi as a result of DPWH’s projects in the
province.
As regards the Sanitation Sector, access
is at 93.7% according to PSA while JMP’s data
is at 91.5%. Poor governance, limited access
to finance, and affordability are the factors
contributing to such figure.
Engr. Capiz presenting the PWSS Sector in the
National Level
Below are the discussions and questions raised during the Overview of PWSS Sector input:
▪ There are two operational water districts in Sulu.

▪ Participant verified why Tawi-Tawi has only 5 WD when there are more in actual to which
Engr. Capiz justified that the data gathered may have been incomplete.
▪ Participants are advised to target ARMM current access to Sanitation in order to pull up
their figures since they have the lowest number in this particular aspect.
8
▪ The figures presented on level of water access is alarming and is life-threatening.

▪ The word “access” should be clarified. It must be identified as potable or not.
▪ Engr. Pandita commented how LWUA’s projects of giving out pipes to LGUs became a
waste since the recipient parties have no sufficient water supply. He observed in one
ARMM town that the pipes given out disintegrated since there was no supply in the first
place. He also asked the technical experts if Salintubig Projects are being monitored
because it is pointless if there are no sustainability plans for it. He added that if this is not
looked into, the cycle of conducting this same workshop will go on and nothing is really
achieved in the end.
▪ According to him, when most of the Salintubig projects was turned over from DILG (during
Mar Roxas headship) to the LGU’s, the latter conducted researches without proper
planning. He shared how one province’s FS was copied by other LGUs (e.g. everyone
stated 6 inches of pipe as their needs). Worse, there was no study conducted at all. ,
Lesson should be learned from this. Mistakes such as this can be avoided again.
▪ Engr. Capiz proposed that source of water be mapped and that all government projects
should be monitored.
▪ Ms. Meng reminded participants to hold off comments about ARMM- issues, concerns and
focus on the National Level first.
▪ She added that issue on Waste of Resources has been a major issue across all Regional
Workshops.
▪ The formation of one institution which will take care of all water concerns was also
proposed.
▪ In terms of NEDA Guidelines, water is sub-part of infrastructure. However, road projects
are more prioritized rather than water concerns.
▪ LGU can do less as they have budget constraints.
▪ This initiative is hoped to center all attention towards WSS since water has always been
least prioritized.
▪ One participant queried on the presence of a NEDA representative in this particular
workshop, since all comments and concerns will go unheard if there is none. Their
presence will hasten the implementation process though.
▪ Ms. Meng responded that as much as NEDA wanted to attend all gatherings such as this,
there are times that they are unable to because of other pressing concerns in the
institution.
▪ Ms. Meng stressed that the recommended reforms from Engr. Capiz’s presentation is
directed on a national level and not the Local Water Districts among regions.
▪ Ms. Meng informed the group that there are two pending bills from Congressman Yap
proposing to create a Department of Water Resources and one of the provisions is for
DILG to turn over Salintubig to this department.
2.3 Session 1c: Regional WSS Situation (Part 1)
Ms. Meng Abarquez facilitated the session on Regional Water Supply and Sanitation
Situation for BASULTA provinces. Here, she reminded participants to limit their presentations
to data and figures.

Below are the comments and questions raised during the said presentation of Situationer per
province:
2.3.1. BASILAN
For report, pls. refer to Annex 2
Water Supply
▪ Most of the 11 Municipalities and 1 component city are
still on L1 and L2 water systems.
▪ There are 3 WDs namely Maluso, Isabela and Lamitan
WDs.
▪ Household with access to safe water for Basilan
(excluding Isabela) is 74. 40%.
▪ Lamitan has good source of water.
▪ Two island municipalities, Tabuan Lasa and Hadji
Muhtamad ranked first and second among other municipalities
in terms of household with access to safe potable water.
▪ The source of data was from an LGU officer (PHO)
Basilan’s Situationer through SI, then it was collated.
presented.
Sanitation
▪ They are giving out 1500 toilet bowls to residents however emphasis must be on IEC since
most still preferred OD.
▪ Out of 57,757 households, 42,971 has no access to sanitary toilet.
▪ Engr. Tecson recommended them to correct figures on 4th and 5th columns of access to
sanitation since it does not show percentage but actual numbers.
▪ In 2015, diarrhea is a common water related disease municipality-wide. It was even
included in the Top 10 causes of mortality and morbidity. Skin rashes and parasitic infection
were also cited.
2.3.2 SULU
Water Supply
▪ Has 11 mainland municipalities and 8 island municipalities.

▪ PSA reported that only 29.8 % of the Province of Sulu has access to potable water. The
Province ranked second lowest in the country in its access to safe drinking water, next only
to Tawi Tawi.
▪ About 92% of the water sources inventoried are found to be contaminated with fecal
coliform.
10
▪ Dependent on water peddlers from Jolo.

▪ L3 water systems are concentrated in Sulu and Siasi.
▪ Water Districts operate only in the premiere town of Jolo and it needs massive rehabilitation
due to growing demand and aged transmission/distribution lines.
▪ Latest rehab was in 1980’s yet.
▪ Local water district is 70% dependent on power supply.
▪ The province has four lakes potential for water sources, Timpuok Lake, Panamao Lake,
Seit Lake and Lake Sani. Has also a number of potential springs
▪ No BAWASA was organized after completion of water supply projects which resulted in
operation and maintenance problems.
▪ Sustainability is important in the life-span of a project.
▪ Jolo is likened to a catch basin.
▪ Majority of residents are located in upland areas therefore reservoirs are to be pumped up.
▪ Use of diesel is very costly compared to hydro or gravity- powered water system.
▪ Water bills of Jolo residents are higher than their Zamboanga counterparts.
▪ 70% of Sulu was covered in the WRI.
▪ Sagay- Sagay water spring can be tapped for Jolo through gravity-flow.
▪ Abandonment of water sources caused by on-going conflict with lot owners as they claim
spring sources even if it’s State-owned.
▪ If projects are not monitored and maintained after its construction, it will deteriorate.
▪ The sustainability of every project includes identifying who will oversee its maintenance
post-construction.
▪ All water supply systems must be turned over to local WD to address sustainability issues.
▪ One suggestion is to allow the LGU to maintain WD for
its first three years of operation in L2 Water Systems
specifically in Rural Setting.
Sanitation
▪ 67% of the population is still practicing OD.

▪ The province has 33 SI personnel
▪ Collected water sample (LWA) in 2016 is positive for
coliform.
▪ In 2017, a similar study was conducted and still results Presentation of Sulu’s WSS
are positive for coliform. Situationer.
▪ Sanitation facilities were not included in the WRI, only
Water Sources were.
▪ NBI conducted water testing in Jolo and the results showed that it is free from
contamination.
▪ They took samples and brought it to ZCWD; findings are negative for contamination.
▪ The cause of typhoid outbreak may be attributed to pipe-leakages as results are negative
in coliform.
▪ Correction of OD Data was made, 33% have access to toilet. Of this number, 17% has
access to sanitary toilets, while 16% doesn’t.
11
2.3.3 TAWI-TAWI
Water Supply
▪ The only municipality in Tawi-Tawi which
has Level III water system is the capital town,
Bongao.
▪ The water supply from BWD, though not
potable and not advisable to drink due to its
high salinity, is still the most in demand.
▪ There is an on-going effort of the
provincial government to tap the mainland
water source at Malum River.
▪ Panglima Sugala Municipality is the main
source of water supply system not only for
household use but for agricultural purposes,
Presentation of Tawi- Tawis’s Situationer. too.
▪ 12 out of 35 municipal barangays are
being served by L3 water system, the rest are
on L2 and L1.
▪ Presentation is good but it would be better if data is in table form instead of map, to make
inputting of targets easier.
Sanitation
▪ Status of Projects in Sanitation was given as an assignment for the participants to

research.
▪ Water Supply Facilities should be changed into WATSAN. (in the map)
2.3.4 RPDO
Water Supply
▪ Households with safe access to water is 42.37%. However, there is no data on reliability.
▪ There is no data of L3 in Tawi- Tawi.
▪ Data presented is from Annual Infrastructure Project.
▪ Projects on Physical Infrastructure were already achieved, but the presenter from the
RPDO doubted if these are functional. She also questioned if the water from these
accomplished infrastructures is potable.
▪ There is a wide increase/ decrease in figures for Tawi- Tawi. The probable factor for this
is incomplete submission of data or no submission at all.
▪ There may also be data manipulation to avoid the LGU’s scrutiny.
▪ There was data cleansing with the change of administration.
▪ Source of date is not the RPDO itself, but the DPWH and DOH.
12
Sanitation
▪ Only 21. 60 % of HHs has access to sanitary toilet.

▪ In 2017, Marawi has the lowest percentage of access to safe water. This may be due to
the Marawi Siege.
▪ Top 1 of the six water-related diseases is diarrhea.
▪ “Toilet” and “toilets with septic tanks” are two different concepts and must not be used
interchangeably.
▪ Unsanitary toilets mean toilets with no septic tank.
2.4 Session 1c: Regional WSS Situation (Part 2)

Ms. Bebet Gozun
Still grouped by provinces, the

representatives identified factors which aided
them in accomplishing their goals
(FACILITATING) as far as WATSAN is
concerned. They are also to determine factors
that impede (HINDERING) them from achieving
their vision. Ms. Bebet Gozun facilitated this
session. They are to write their responses on a
two-coloured meta strips; orange for hindering
factors and green for facilitating factor.
Below are the participants’ responses.

Ms. Bebet facilitating the session on
Mitigating and Hindering factors
2.4.1 Basilan

▪ Abundance of water sources ▪ Community lacked sense of ownership.
▪ Committed LCE’s ▪ Poor sanitation awareness among community
▪ Existing environmental and sanitation code members
▪ Fund allocation is available. ▪ Non-sustainability of the project, i.e. no
maintenance
▪ Affected by climate change, such as heavy rain
and drought
▪ Fragmented water sources
▪ Lack of technical capacity among staff.
▪ Non-proclamation of watershed areas
▪ Illegal logging
▪ Salt water intrusion in island communities
▪ Septage management among islands and coastal
areas are not available.
▪ Data banking system on WATSAN not available.
13
Discussion
▪ There are no SI in the rural areas that is why there is no data on water supply.
▪ Engr. Tecson shared to the participants ideas on how to make toilet in the islands as
participant pointed out difficulty in putting up toilets in island municipalities.
▪ They have few mitigating factors.
▪ There are existing environmental and sanitation codes, it just lacked push.
2.4.2 TAWI-TAWI

▪ Expansion of L3 water system ▪ Water source is fragmented.
▪ Competent Work force ▪ Geographical configuration is inaccessible.
▪ Provision of sanitary bowls ▪ Financial constraints such as lack of resources
▪ Strong political will and financial support
▪ Difficulty in building toilets and septic tanks as
houses are culturally built on stilts and coastal
areas.
▪ Prevalence of poverty
▪ Expensive cost of toilets and septic tanks
▪ Septic tanks are deemed costlier than house,
guns, and cars.
▪ No water/ lacks water
Discussion
▪ Bongao is fragmented, not connected.

▪ Only urban HHs have access to safe water.
▪ Inadequate access to toilet bowls is part of their culture
and tradition especially in coastal communities.
▪ Toilet construction is not part of their priority.
▪ It is not a “poverty- issue” but an issue of prioritization.
▪ Lack of water system is equivalent to no water supply.
▪ Engr. Tecson corrected their way of thinking. As per their
claim, if there is no water supply, water sanitation cannot be
achieved as well. It should all the more be worked hard for,
knowing there is no sufficient water supply.
Participants brainstorming for

responses to their mitigating
and hindering factors
14
2.4.3 Sulu

▪ Strong political will and support from ▪ Scarcity of water sources in island municipalities
stakeholders. ▪ Lack of technical staff/ human resource capability
▪ Availability of funding from National ▪ Illegal cutting of fruit trees.
Government and ARMM ▪ Rising of sea level as an effect of climate change
▪ Newly-trained staff on Water Bacteriology ▪ El Niño Phenomenon
▪ Unstable peace and security situation due to the
presence of ASG group
▪ Land ownership issue on water source
▪ Lack of local ordinance on WATSAN.
Discussion
▪ There is a strong political support as reflected in the provinces’ responses.
▪ There are lesser Peace and Order issues in Basilan and Tawi- Tawi compared to Sulu.
▪ The destruction of water sheds due to illegal logging means the destruction of water
supply in service areas located downtown.
▪ Strong political will is not enough, strong police visibility must be reinforced to curb
illegal logging.
▪ LGUs are reminded that there are existing laws such as the Clean Air Act.
▪ Participants are encouraged to reinvent as in the case of Dumaguete’s three-
chambered septic tanks.
▪ DILG has a Draft for Septage Ordinance as well as the checklist of requirements.
▪ If there is strong political will, all ordinances will be realized.

3.1 Session 2a: Formulating the Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Vision
Ms. Bebet Gozun
Ms. Bebet started this session with a reading of an excerpt from Martin Luther King’s
famous “I Have a Dream” speech. She asked the participants to close their eyes as she read
aloud the lines. Her purpose for this springboard activity is to motivate the participants to
clearly foresee the desired state of water supply and sanitation in their respective provinces.
This is in order for them to craft their provincial vision by the end of the session.
She then flashed in her slide decks presentation, the sample visions developed by Regions
10 and 11. Afterwards, she instructed them to draw their vision in terms of their WSS
aspirations for their provinces. They are to list down three elements present in their illustration
and briefly explain each. They were given fifteen minutes for this activity.
Below are the participants outputs with their corresponding interpretation.
3.1.1 Basilan
By 2040, Basilan is foreseen as a self-

sufficient province once it has
successfully lay down in place the
following elements a.) safe water b.)
sustainable water supply and sanitation
c.) oneness of family in every
community as they live a wonderful life.
16
3.1.2 Tawi- Tawi
Tawi- Tawi by 2040 is envisioned to

become an economic zone area
with the completion of the
following three elements: a.) water
shed protection for water supplies’
continuous function, b.) water
treatment of these water sources,
c.) connectivity of all the
municipalities in socio-economic
and education sectors.
3.1.3 Sulu
Every Tausog family is

envisioned to have sustainable
access to safe water, access to
sanitation for all facilities be at
home, school, offices or
hospitals, and sustainable water
source, including protection of
watersheds.
17
Comments/ Suggestions on Visioning
▪ Convert solid waste materials into waste products.

▪ Ms. Bebet shared that the IRR has been drafted in 2002 to convert solid waste into
useful products as this was already mandated in law. Ideas on how to do ECO-Bricks
as one way of converting solid waste was also mentioned.
▪ Visioning of Tawi- Tawi was short of STP elements.
▪ Participants are given assignments to include in their vision statements the three
elements they have integrated in their drawings.

4.0 MODULE 3: HOW DO WE GET THERE

4.1 Session 3a: Sanitation: Concepts, Approaches and Technologies in Urban and
Rural Setting
Engr. Jay Tecson
Sanitation Specialist
Sir Jay started with an interesting news headline about wastewater management
featuring some notable places in the Philippines as the subjects of the said headline. He then
asked participants to visualize the same headlines to take place in their very own province
and region and how it would make them feel.
He proceeded with a thorough explanation on wastewater, defining such terms as
wastewater, blackwater, graywater and yellow water. Distinction between domestic sewage
and non-sewage as both sources of wastewater was also pointed out by Sir Jay.
The F- diagram (Feces, to fingers, flies, fields, fluids) was also shared to the
participants as a way of emphasizing how wastewater is harmful.
According to him in 2015, the focus was on the presence/ absence of toilet bowls.
Come post- 2015, there is a shift from merely having toilet bowls to safe and effective
management of excreta.
He also discussed the three criteria of a safely managed sanitation. People should use
improved sanitation facilities which are not shared with other households, and the excreta
produced should be, 1.) treated and disposed of in site, 2.) stored temporarily and then
emptied and transported to treatment off-site or 3.) transported through a sewer with
wastewater then treated off-site.
He stressed that the Bible or Qur’an for all WATSAN concerns has always been the
RA 9275 or the Clean Water Act of 204. He discussed briefly the provisions under this law.
Prohibited Acts and the Fines and Penalties under this Law was also touched in the
discussion.
Sir Jay highlighted that the point of sanitation is to separate human excreta from human
contact. He said that only 3% of the world’s water is drinkable and we should help nature clean
our waste water to speed up the process; augment it; and prevent contamination. Water is a
limited and a finite source that we should take care to sustain us.
When considering projects on sanitation one must consider these three factors: 1)
infrastructure, products, and services; 2) supportive environment; and 3) appropriate
promotional approaches. Sir Jay emphasized the importance of raising awareness on
sanitation. He said that for the project to work, there should be a change of behavior from the
people and a higher appreciation enough to practice sound sanitation.
He also discouraged the drafting of complicated water projects which are not monitored
years later. Instead, he persuaded participants to establish local WATSAN councils.
He also shared how LGUs can access funds for their sanitation projects. For instance,
they can access the NSSMP Grant which will cover 50% of the entire project cost. Sir Jay
briefly discussed the basic requirements of the grant.
19
Each Region’s current access to sanitation was also presented, where ARMM has the
lowest improved access. Sir Jay emphasized that everyone should target a 100% access by
2022 and that 18 HUCs in the country are required by law to put up their own sewerage
system.
4.2 Session 3b: Understanding Sanitation Pillars and Cross Cutting Themes
Mr. Leo De Castro
Sir Leo initially presented some questions on sanitation pillars and emphasized that the
programs in improving sanitation should be resilient to make sure that no one goes back to
the old practice of OD. He stressed that Water is Life and Sanitation is Dignity. He further
added that LGUs are the duty bearers in ensuring that “No One is Left Behind” This battle cry
is aligned with SDG Goal No. 6 and should be achieved by 2030, so this poses a great
challenge for everyone.
He also expressed his personal views about OD and how it affects citizens cognitively. He
added that citizens should be taken cared of to avoid stunting. It is important to see the
connections of these components, from OD to WSS maintenance.
The highlight of his presentation is the SDG and its provisions on water sanitation and
hygiene (WASH). He also explained what is integration of WASH which is an approach that
ensures sustainability through joint, integrated and full implementation of water, sanitation and
hygiene.
He likewise encouraged participants to look into the three pillars of water governance in
their plan formulation. These pillars are a.) Enabling Environment b.) Participatory Demand
Creation, and c.) Supply and Services.
DAY 2
4.3 Recapitulation of Day 1 Session

Ms. Meng Abarquez
Participants were asked individually by Ms.
Meng what their significant learning is about
yesterday’s (Day 1) Session.
Responses
▪ Resources are not fully maximized (eg.
Salintubig project not fully implemented)
▪ Maluso and other open areas have high
OD- prevalence.
▪ The implementation of Clean Water Act
has been in placed since 2004 but it
seemed to lack teeth in the
implementation.
▪ Proper installation of septic tank.
Ms. Meng facilitating the recap on Day 2
▪ They must start from the baseline going up
in terms of sewerage planning.
▪ Data banking is important.
20
▪ Rural areas must practice sanitation.

▪ Sanitation is important; OD has impact in people’s lives.
▪ There should be a reiteration of sanitation code to avoid putting them into oblivion later
on.
▪ Recommend to NEDA that sanitation be included in the subsidy.
▪ Project on Black Water is beneficial and cost-cutting.
▪ If there is no water supply, there is a need for sanitation all the more.
4.4 Provincial WSS Vision

Ms. Bebet Gozun
After the recap, each group presented their vision. Below are their crafted visions by
province:
4.4.1 Basilan
“By 2040, Basilan will have a sustainable balance environment with clear air where
water and sanitation is in place and people live peacefully and happily.
4.4.2 Sulu
By 2040, every family will live with sustainable access to safe water and good
sanitation.
4.4.3 Tawi- Tawi
By 2040, Tawi- Tawi will have easy access to adequate, potable, and sustainable
water, sanitation and hygiene with care for the environment.
4.5 Water Supply: Concepts, Approaches and Technologies in Urban and Rural Setting
Engr. Oscar Jusi
Engr. Jusi explained the different levels of

Water Service Connections as well as their
suitability. He added that most WDs service
connections are on L3 and some are on L2. Part of his
presentation is the water sources hierarchy in which
desalination is the most expensive. The different ways
to treat water was also discussed thoroughly. He gave
the participants an insight on the different options for
WS developments. He presented the different
technology options they can avail from low-cost options
to latest advancements in technology. Engr. Jusi aided participants in
understanding Water Supply
He also explained how transmission is different
Concepts
from distribution, with the latter as more commonly
known as pipes and water system from reservoir to stand post. While the former means
network of WS from the source to the reservoir. He added that in the absence of a reservoir,
it is merely referred to as transmission.
21
DISCUSSION
▪ Chlorination of water should be handled with extreme care and technical staff in charge
of water supply management should seek the assistance of experts in carrying this
out.
▪ Another seminar on chlorination and other means of water treatment to be taken up
since it involved very technical terms.
▪ One company in Sulu proposed to bid their desalination services but the estimated
cost is at 10 million and overhauling is not included yet.
▪ In Basilan’s case, they have developed a portable reverse osmosis machine which can
yield 15% of the saltwater in areas with high saline-concentration.
▪ For Sulu, constructing a Water Treatment Facility is not applicable.
▪ A participant from Sulu asked if the local WD can request for a budget directly from the
DBM and not go through LWUA anymore.
▪ The answer was there have been plans and proposals in PAWAD and MAWAD during
ex-Pres Ramos term to departmentalize water issues and concerns.
▪ WDs are noted to be drowning in debt because there is no subsidy given except in
cases when politician would push for the release of assistance to the Department.
▪ A suggestion was made for WDs to inquire from LWUA regarding budget intended for
them, because ideally there should have been a budget allotted for them.
▪ One participant from Basilan already inquired from LWUA. There is budget indeed
which comes with a 4% interest rate (loan).
▪ Source of funding is one of the concerns of ARMM’s WDs because budget is intended
for expansion and infrastructure.
▪ Another suggestion was to lobby for their proposals to provincial government,
endorsed to DPWH for inclusion to Annual Infrastructure Plan.
▪ Ms. Meng also urged participants with project proposals communicated through their
FS, to submit them so it will be forwarded to NEDA.
▪ L2 can’t be easily transformed to L3 considering the source and kind of pipes utilized.
▪ Concept of “water demand management” was tackled which means to make the most
out of the water you have.
▪ Reuse of Treated Wastewater for Agriculture 2007 is allowed under the Clean Water
Act as pointed out by Ms. Bebet and this even has Administrative Order in the DA but
unfortunately is not being implemented so she hoped this issue will be integrated in
the provinces’ drafting of their Master Plan.
▪ WDM is a relatively new concept in the Philippines and no one is talking about it
according to Ms. Bebet but she desired that this idea be institutionalized (passed as
Law).
▪ A participant clarified regarding water recycling whether this applies to tap water in
Hotels, as well. Accordingly, she is now wary to use hotel-supplied waters, considering
that they may also be treated or recycled. Ms Meng assured her that Water recycling
does not apply to waters running in faucets.
▪ Ms. Bebet and Sir Jay shared to the group the different technologies regarding
groundwater recharge and flood control planning developed by Western countries.
Two of these is the utilization of pavers and the construction of cisterns (underground
water pools). They hope that these WDM strategies will be incorporated in the
participants’ WDM designs for their province.
22
▪ DPWH has designed different rainwater collectors and treatments.

▪ Majority of Tawi- Tawi’s HHs have plastic tanks.
▪ Presence of mosquito wrigglers (latik- latik in local dialect) in PVC pipes after weeks
of storage which becomes breeding grounds.
▪ Slow-sand filter is another method to treat rainwater.
▪ Bongao and other provinces in Cluster 2 considered themselves blessed during the El
Niño Phenomenon where their dependence to rainwater proved life-saving.
▪ No Waterworks system gets annual budget allocation from their LGU (among these
provinces)
▪ There are also WW systems who have great tandem with their LGUs.
23
5.0 MODULE 4: KEY POLICIES, PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
5.1 Session 4a: Strategies, Policies, Programs and Projects

Ms. Bebet Gozun
Ms. Bebet brought back participant’s consciousness to the activities during Day 1 and Day
2 where they determined their province’s statuses, “Where are We Now”, and “Where They
Want to Be”. She reviewed how participants developed their visions for their provinces in terms
of water supply and sanitation. Since they are done with target projections as to the
infrastructure projects of their provinces, they are now to go back to their hindering factors and
formulate strategies to address them. (How Do We Get There?) She gave the definition of
strategy and how it is different from tactics. Strategy is more on a long-term scope whereas
tactics are mostly short-term based.
She furthermore showed examples of
different strategies formulated by different
regions both on Philippine Water Supply
Road Map and on Philippine Sustainable
Sanitation RoadMap.
The meaning of Program was also
clarified by Ms. Bebet. She stressed that
projects and activities are different from
programs as these two are components of
the former. She explained that a program is
used to carry out a certain strategy. Under
the policy part in the template for WSS
Strategies, Policies and Programs, she
Participants busily working during the Planning
and Investment workshop
reminded participants that not every project
or activity they proposed can possibly
contain a policy, reasoning that some
policies may have been already in place but are not just fully implemented yet.
She ended her presentation by inviting questions and clarifications from the group.
24
DISCUSSION
Below are the comments, questions and recommendations raised during the WSS Strategies
Policies, Programs and Projects Input
▪ One participant from RPDO suggested if it is possible to provide workshop
templates with a regional scope given the time constraints and difficulty in
formulating ideas from the participants. Ms. Bebet responded that as of this
particular workshop, it is not feasible because ARMM was split into two groups
considering that it is composed of a number of provinces. It is up to the Regional
Office to consolidate the two sub-regions output and come up with a unified
output for the entire ARMM.
▪ Sir Jay reminded participants that ordinance is one of the requirements for
Septage Management, therefore, the provinces through their LGU’s should
submit Septage Management Ordinance to meet the criteria for its installation.
He also added that such template can be accessed and downloaded from
DILG’s official website. Lastly, he encouraged the participants to prepare their
Feasibility Studies for forwarding to NEDA.
▪ A participant from Sulu asked if LGUs can pass an ordinance that 5% of the
20% share in the municipality’s IRA for service and development, be
appropriated for water concerns and needs. Ms. Bebet responded that what is
not explicitly disallowed by law can be pursued. However, for the purpose of
accuracy and appropriateness on this matter, she assured the participant of
consulting the expertise of a lawyer and she will get back to the participant for
the right answer.
▪ As suggested by Sir Jay, any question relating to policy issues, can be listed
down by the participants in the Parking Lot to ensure that they will be given
attention to. Doing this can also cause awareness on the part of concerned
individuals/ agencies.
▪ LWUA is apprehensive in attending these kinds of workshops because they felt
they have no significant role to play in these gatherings.
▪ Sir Noel commented on how the three provinces’ vision are similar in some
elements such as sustainable access to safe water. He also noted that this
cluster is more blessed since they have sole control of their water resources
given that they are island provinces in contrast to ARMM Cluster 1’s mainly
river basin boundaries. He then advised them to make these resources
sustainable over time.
▪ Participants were also challenged to identify the carrying capacity of their
respective province” to know how much water they are capable of producing
and that this must be incorporated in their strategy.
▪ Indigenous People (IP’s) should also be considered in formulating their
strategies.
▪ What they intend to do with their Hindering Factors should also be incorporated
in their strategy. This will come after Water Supply Access and Sanitation
Strategies. (#s 1 and 2 of first column under Strategy)

DAY 3
5.2 Recapitulation
Ms. Meng facilitated the recap of yesterday’s session by asking participants of their
significant learning. She also reminded participants that they are only given thirty minutes to
present their Planning and Strategies and ten to fifteen minutes for the question and answer.
Some of the significant learning shared are the following:
▪ Importance of water and healthy environment brought about by effective sanitation
projects
▪ Strategy on how to tap water.
▪ BASULTA has different set-up and situations, hence, it also needs different
approaches in WSS.
(Sulu and Basilan have more water resources as compared to Tawi- Tawi)
▪ How to achieve their vision through the programs, projects and activities they
formulated, and God-willing (Inshallah) they can achieve it if they are given sufficient
time in realizing all their plans.
▪ Became aware that ARMM has some programs meant to assist Local Water Districts.
▪ It is suggested that Technical Summit on Water and Sanitation be conducted soon.
5.3 Reporting of Draft Road Map

Engr. Jay Tecson
Engr. Oscar Jusi
Engr. Rene Capiz
Note: RPDO to develop the regional roadmap, based on the 2 sub-regional roadmaps to be
presented to Regional Governor Hataman.
Discussion during the Reporting of Programs and Investments
5.3.1 BASILAN
▪ Under Social Preparation, on-site validation was suggested to be included in order to
see the viability of the area. No water in the area is tantamount to the failure of the
project. Therefore, their FS is advised to include onsite validation.
▪ Geo- hazard map must be utilized to identify areas prone to different kinds of disaster
and hazards such as tsunami.
▪ Solid waste management is not actively practiced in all municipalities. It is important
for municipalities to lead by example so others will follow.
▪ Provinces/ LGU must adopt the new policies/ standards set by DOH regarding the
building of Septic Tank.
28
▪ Province has earned the SGLG

award in the regional level and is now
proceeding to the National Level.
▪ Lakbay- Aral is proposed and
desired to attract sponsor. The idea of
this is not only to study abroad but to
consider studying other LGUs in the
Philippines who have success stories in
their WSS Management such as the
mechanized septage in Isabela City. If
done abroad in, countries with similar
socio-political and economic system as
Basilan’s representative discussing their
the Philippines are recommended as

the best choice.
▪ Source of funding is limited. Participants were asked if they have established

partnership with NGOs. They did.
▪ Encouraged to contact NGOs like “Islamic Relief” an international NGO with office in
the Philippines and “A Single Drop of Water”, a local NGO so these two can assist
them in their projects.
▪ In their proposal to construct a provincial water laboratory in Lamitan, Engr. Capiz
asked about their current capability in water testing, because waiting for the laboratory
to be fully built may take some time. Hence, they were advised to conduct on-site
testing while the laboratory construction is still underway.
▪ Having a Laboratory should be coupled with capable and qualified personnel who will
be tasked to man the Laboratory. In the meantime, in the absence of a Laboratory,
field test kits can be resorted to for water testing which can be done without a
laboratory.
▪ Their plan on water system development must have prioritization and should be
broken down into phasing since their investment plan is projected till 2030.
▪ Proposed activities should include responsible persons so as to determine whom to
expect delivery output from once the project becomes operational.
▪ Only FS was reflected, a detailed engineering design must also be incorporated.
5.3.2 RPDO
For the participants outputs, pls. refer to Annex 2. The plan is essentially the
regional plan of DOH only.
Comments/ Recommendations
▪ Activities included are more inclined to capacity building since the Infrastructure aspect
has already been addressed in the provincial level planning.
▪ A series of Basic Training on Sanitation is set to be rolled out by DOH in July.
Participants should not be exclusively SIs alone, but other personnel, too, who have
active involvement in sanitation.
▪ It is essential that provincial action plan be submitted to LGU, for a possible inclusion
in the Annual Operational Plan, and for it to be prioritized.
▪ More NGOs are willing to provide assistance as statistics on Sanitation is improving.
29
▪ Basilan representative suggested that plans presented by each province must be given
consideration during the Regional Consolidation of outputs particularly the inclusion of
equipment such as putting up of laboratory as this is very costly. Engr. Pandita replied
that it was already made part of the Regional Planning.
▪ A question was addressed to DPWH’s representative pertaining to L2 Water System
not functioning and how to make them fully working particularly Water Systems in
Maguindanao. Ms. Meng clarified whether this concern fell under the jurisdiction of
Provincial or Regional Level. The answer is Provincial because the project has already
been turned-over to them from the RO. She asked if there are still other additional
recommendations such as call for support from RO which include not just DOH, but
DPWH, DILG and others too.
▪ It was recommended by one participant that the plan of DPWH, DILG and other
concerned regional offices must also be integrated into the Regional Report since the
report presented was DOH- centered and more on sanitation and Capacity building
concerns only. They are not made aware of the DPWH’s plan for the provinces. It was
agreed initially that they are to formulate the regional plan, which does not comprise of
DOH plan alone, but of DPWH and other agencies involved as well.
▪ A representative from DPWH answered back that he is not familiar with BASULTA’s
political set-up, that is why ICC is created for all municipalities to present their
proposals to. DPWH duty is just to consolidate proposals submitted by the LGUs. LGU
proposals are then forwarded to District Offices, and they will in turn submit them to
the RO. Finally, the latter will forward it to NEDA. He added, that it is the provinces
which are most knowledgeable of their needed projects since each province has
unique needs different from others.
▪ A question was raised by Ms. Meng if the Regional Office has any sub-regional or
regional body which can provide assistance to the provinces. The case of watershed
protection and management was cited as an example as the two province-participants
share this common feature in their locality. Where do the RPDO personnel see
themselves and what role do they see themselves playing amid this particular issue?
▪ Another example Ms. Meng pointed out are the island municipalities with no water
supply, an issue shared among the province- participants. She asked what kind of
assistance DPWH can extend to them for instance, and this is not constricted to merely
financial aid but can include other mode of assistance. Moreover, other agencies apart
from DPWH shall determine their roles as well, in order for them to be actively involved
in resolving these water-related concerns in ARMM-BASULTA.
▪ The office of NCMF (formerly OMA) has a policy- making mandate which they can use
to formulate policies geared towards sustainable and safe access to water and
sanitation in BASULTA. These formulated policies will be forwarded to the Office of
the President to come up with a National Policy in support to that effect. This is because
NEDA lack clear policies concerning Water and Sanitation as Infrastructure is the
institution’s main concern.
▪ A participant from Tawi -Tawi commented that such suggested policy-formulation from
NCMF can really benefit their Province considering that Water Management and
Protection in their locality lack reinforcement. He suggested one example of regulatory
control or ordinances in water in watershed protection wherein the source of water
(primary source or reservoir) will be determined. However, he emphasized that they
need more than policy formulation but the firm placement of regulatory control and
ordinances at their own level so it will be more manageable when it comes to the
30
National Level. He added that before going down to the level of the Barangay, the
province already has a firm policy in place which cannot be questioned.
▪ Sir Chio, a participant from Sulu reasoned out that ARMM has its structure and its own
Local Government Code which stipulates devolvement particularly on social services.
Service delivery should have been under the Region, and not with LGU, so he is
uncertain what ARMM will do with this. He gave DOH as an example, hospitals being
part of Region, not with LGU as compared to other regular devolved provinces. RO
though claimed that it has no capital except DPWH which has Infrastructure Fund of
10B. That’s why when in DPWH’s presentation, accomplishments shown are focused
on Infrastructure. With this scenario, it is hard to pinpoint who failed in their
responsibility of delivering services to the people since the structure of ARMM involves
the National Government, Regional
Offices and the LGU. But accordingly,
definitely LGU is not to be held liable,
since it is not empowered for service
delivery based on the Local
Government Code.
▪ Ms. Bebet shared that issues on

watershed management and
devolvement of services will be taken
up in the REDPB. She added that in
Engr. Pandita presenting the RPDO DENR, limited resources are devolved,
so what they did, considering that
Proposal on Programs and Investments
Watershed Management cannot be
shouldered by DENR alone, was enter into a co-management agreement with either
city, town or province so that they can manage their Watershed Management, even
defining their regulatory powers. DENR’s role is simply to provide technical assistance
in formulating plans. A participant butted in, saying that is what needs to be done in
BASULTA. However, the one who will assume must have willingness (demand-
driven).
▪ A representative from RO- DPWH strongly suggested the creation of a Task Force on
WATSAN composed of concerned agencies especially from the provinces with each
province having a representative. This is like a regional sub-committee on Water and
Sanitation since WATSAN is a sub- committee of REDPB. Another committee is
needed in order to reach the bottom part of the structure which is the province. She
deemed the absence of this body as the root cause of the problem in the region
regarding WATSAN management.
▪ The creation of this special body though, is still to be proposed to REDPB and subject
to their approval.
▪ Engr. Pandita added that such regional sub-committee on WATSAN was already
integrated in the Regional Plan last year and this was already forwarded to REDPB.
This explains the presence of water system projects as well as the conduct of different
training as the actual realization of the plan.
▪ A question was asked by a Sulu participant about the role of the task force, and how it
will be sustained. He justified that it would be better to create such body in the Local
Level in contrast to delegating it to RO. He sees the creation of regional sub-committee
Task Force as pointless.
31
▪ Two significant points was raised by Ms. Meng pertaining to the creation of a Task
Force which needs to be addressed. First, is the identification of its role, and second,
the viability of creating said body in the Municipal or Provincial Level.
▪ The role of the Task force creation was further clarified by Ms. Raisa, being a venue
for regular meetings where water- related issues and concerns can be deliberated.
She supplemented that this Task Force is proposed not in the Region but in the
province, as sub-committee on WATSAN.
▪ Additionally, the Task Force will be composed of representative from the regional
offices in both Water and Sanitation. Whatever concerns the province may have can
be raised in the RO.
▪ These differences in ideas were resolved by clearly dividing the line between the two
terms, Task Force and Water Council. The former has a specific time-frame and cannot
be applied to a long-term and continuous issue, whereas the latter can stand alone,
has a more permanent structure and can be headed by a governor or mayor who has
decision-making powers.
▪ Furthermore, Ms. Bebet stated that whatever institutional arrangement they choose,
what is important is they perform the roles and functions expected of them.
▪ In the end, everyone approved the creation of WATSAN Council in the Provincial Level
and a counterpart sub-committee in the Municipal Level.
▪ Sulu province- proposed to create a WATSAN council. The rest of the provinces will
do what is applicable in their situations.
Additional comments from technical specialists

▪ Absence of tariff collecting in some areas was noted and ensuring that households are
to be oriented on the necessity of tariff for successful water operation.
▪ Advocacy meeting to orient governors and mayors should be included in their program,
to make them aware of the different activities to be undertaken on ground.
5.3.3 SULU
For the participants outputs, pls. refer to Annex 2.
▪ With the creation of provincial “Sulu- Area Coordinating Council” where all
development initiatives and even disaster related concerns are tackled, non-
devolvement in the implementation of projects was achieved. The province was
awarded GALING-POOK for this initiative.
▪ Each province and region whether they have Task Force councils or not, must maintain
strong linkage with other agencies in terms of WATSAN Monitoring.
32
The clear legal basis on the

creation of WATSAN Council as
explained by Ms. Bebet, is
stipulated under the Local
Government Code, hence they are
authorized to create special bodies
as needed. Additionally, under the
Clean Water Act, water quality
management areas are identified
whether it is multi-stakeholder or
multi- sectoral although DENR is
still the chair of that particular
WQMA and LGU being part of it.
Sir Benhal Akdal presenting the province of Sulu’s
Still, under the Clean Water Act,
Program and Investments to the plenary water function and water quality are
also included. Thus, the WQMA
governing board should create a technical committee to do regular monitoring.
▪ If there is a Local Health Board, WATSAN can be made part of it. Their roles should
be the same across all other bodies created among provinces.
▪ The group was complimented by Sir Rene as they provided comprehensive plan and
was able to identify organization/institution that will take care of sustainability
programs. Sir Jay’ s reaction is contrary because only their plan on water supply is
detailed. The lines under sanitation was just picked up from the template.
▪ NSSMP is working in enhancing subsidies to HUC’s or even in 2nd to 6th class
municipalities. All they need to do to avail this is to submit their FS and ordinance for
consideration.
▪ They should build more program on sanitation issues under CAPDEV and must
proceed with caution in the giving out of free toilet bowls (should be powered with
behavioural change).
▪ Province claimed that they have already piloted two barangays which gave out free
toilets to residents and it was proven effective.
▪ MFI and OBA can be tapped for distribution of free toilets.
▪ Team agreed to revise their plan.
▪ Partnership with academe and universities is very important for technology
development.
5.3.4. TAWI-TAWI
For the participants outputs, pls. refer to Annex 2.
▪ Regulatory control on water sources is needed as private entities are putting up their
own water system, harnessing them from water sources and peddle them to
consumers for their everyday usage.
▪ There are many means of regulation that can be applied under the Local Government
Code. Creation of Provincial Water Supply and Sanitation Team (PWSST) is a strategy
they seek to apply. Under this strategy, they are seeking regulatory control of all water
resources, provincial ordinance on water harvesting, and mandatory water quality
33
testing. The programs they proposed to implement are water source/ system
development, improvement/ rehabilitation of existing level 1-3 sources and capacity
building of PWSST.
▪ Training is only one aspect of capacity building. It also covers equipment, management
information systems (computerization of data), and setting up of provincial
development among others. Drone purchase is also one scope of CB.
▪ Watershed protection can also include rehabilitation of depleted sources, but this is
not sufficient. Provision of alternative livelihood for the citizens residing around this
area must also be incorporated in watershed protection since they are at risked of
damaging the area due to livelihood difficulties.
▪ Report is good as they started with what they have; program is also more focused.
▪ Consider seeking help from people outside of provinces as this will generate more
knowledge on their part.
▪ Clustering is a major challenge because of the island-provinces.
▪ Introduction of lime stabilization by providing instructional YouTube links on how to set
them up.
▪ In water regulation, they should have potability certificate issued by the DOH.
▪ The linkage will be strengthened between the Provincial WSS Team (sub-committee
on WATSAN) and other agencies once it is organized through the submission of issues
by the province to the REDPB passing through the subcommittee. This set-up will work
depending upon the people running it.
▪ A MOA can be entered with national agency to share resources, it can be a way to
access national sources especially the funding or grant mechanism in septage and
sewerage. There is a need to study how to access ARMM funding that will be
incorporated into the Master Plan.
▪ DOH is now the lead agency in all things sanitation but other agencies (DPWH, DSWD
and DILG) still need to play an active part.
▪ DOH will lead in planning and will do the roll-out for Basic Sanitation Planning all
throughout the program.
▪ Technical team will try to work with PSA to revise the definition required by the SDG
so that LGU will be guided as to what to check and what to monitor and not come up
with various unnecessary reports. Streamlining and command responsibility is the
focus because Sanitation issue is very broad and needs to be tackled seriously. Budget
is also being studied as to how much will be downloaded to the LGUs.
▪ Capacity building is still with DILG.

6.0 MODULE 5
6.1 Identifying Capacity Requirements in Support of the Regional Master Plan
Mr. Leo De Castro
The Day 3 afternoon session was

started by Mr. De Castro with his topic on
Capacity Building. Here, the province will
assess their capacity to develop their plans.
He started with the definition of capacity
development, capacity and capability. He
further explained how capacity is more on
organization competence and capability as
referring to individual skills. Since all the
provinces have identified their tools/
strategies in achieving their provincial and
even regional plans, he emphasized the
importance of strategizing and that a good
strategy is a grounded strategy. This means Sir De Castro shared his expertise on CD.
that for a strategy to be effective, it must
really come from them. Towards the end of his presentation, a capacity assessment worksheet
was distributed to each province and they are to assess if their capacity level per development
is adequate or not adequate.
For the province-participants output on Capacity Assessment, pls. refer to Annex 3.

7.0 MODULE 6: WAY FORWARD

7.1 Actions Needed to Complete the Regional WSS Assessment, Roadmap and
Investment
Mr. Bebet Gozun
Engr. Jay Tecson
Ms. Bebet made way for Sir Jay’s additional input on Low Cost Onsite Sanitation
Systems for the provinces to take into consideration and probably adopt in in their own area
given the proper support in the future. Sir Jay explained the different ways of doing onsite
treatment instead of off-site. He also expounded the difference among centralized, partly
centralized and decentralized system. Some of the designs discussed are the DEWATS,
Anaerobic Baffled Filter, Leach/ Drain Field, Biogas Digester, Lime- Stabilization Treatment.
He stressed that the latter is low-cost and low-maintenance.
Pictures of completed projects in different provinces and regions were also shown to
the participants.
With the creation of Master Plan per province, he urged them to draft their sanitation
plan and take this task seriously. He referred to the present situation of Singapore where its
citizens are drinking treated water from pumps and how we did not want the same case to
befall us. Finally, he challenged everyone to work hard for the future generation of ARMM.
Ms. Bebet facilitated the agreements made below. On behalf of the whole technical
team and RPDO, she thanked everyone for their active participation during the three-day
workshop. This tells the management that initiatives such as this is really beneficial to the
participants. A participant added that they are doing this for the country to which Ms. Bebet
agreed. As concluding words, she remarked “Let us continue to sustain our watershed for the
betterment of our county and good health of every Filipino.
AGREEMENTS MADE:
▪ Ms. Bebet informed the participants that their outputs will be forwarded to the RPDO.
The latter will package a unified regional report for ARMM. Next step is the
presentation of the packaged report to the REDPB to be approved by the governors.
Once approved, it will now be integrated to the National Master Plan.
▪ It is also noted that prior to the presentation of the WSS roadmap to REDPB, it will be
presented to RDAC for review.
▪ BASULTA is given a week to make modification in their submitted outputs. If none is
received by the Technical Team in the said duration, their reports will be considered
final.

8.0 CLOSING CEREMONY

8.1 Closing Message
BERTRAND CHIO
PPDC, PPDO
Firstly, Mr. Chio particularly expressed his personal gratitude for accommodating his
request to postpone the Cluster 2 Workshop originally scheduled on May 21-23 which
coincided with the Ramadan season.
Secondly, he thanked the resource persons for all the inputs they shared, where they
gained meaningful learning. He wished though, the next step will not be limited to coming
up with a Regional Master Plan. It would be much better if there is a micro-level, provincial
WATSAN plan because as per his assessment, no clear government agency was
mandated to oversee water concerns, even at the national level. The idea of creating a
Department of Water and Sanitation would very much be embraced.
Since this workshop has come to its conclusion, he asked what the next step will be.
He hoped that all plans formulated will be translated to an implementable program. He
assured that LGUs will always be ready to support in the program implementation. He also
outlined the difficulty in implementing water systems. The technical support provided to
them was truly beneficial and made work less difficult for them. There were many projects
attempted but their sustainability is not assured because of lack in technical know-how.
This gap was effectively addressed in this workshop.
He looked at the future with uncertainty as major transformations in ARMM’s political

system is bound to happen soon. Federalism and BBL are seen as two of those challenges
they have to face. But he has good expectation that once BBL is realized and be
administered by the MILF, it can cause significant changes in the region.

Subject : Minutes of Meeting with Non- Government Organizations

Formulation of the Phil. Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP)
The team in partnership with OXFAM conducted a round-table discussion with selected non-
government organizations who have activities in the water supply and sanitation sector. The
meeting was held on November 27, 2017 at the OXFAM office in Panay Avenue, Quezon City.
The following attended the meeting:
1. Lot Felizco, OXFAM Country Director

2. Dick Pajarillo, Water.org

The highlights of the meeting include:
1. Presentation of the Project: Evelyn Orda
 The team presented the project including the coverage, activities, and deliverables
required by the NEDA.
 Clarification on NWRB’s mandate. Team: The NWRB has limited mandate. They are
responsible for resource and economic regulations for utilities who want to be part of
the NWRB organization. Water permits are issued by the NWRB to utilities who want
to develop water sources for particular purposes. In terms of water utility operation:
LWUA regulates WDs, MWSS for Metro Manila concessionaires, PTA for tourist areas,
while cooperatives are regulated by NWRBs. NWRB is undermanned, with only seven
people granting and monitoring water permits. Deep wells for municipal use are
regulated by the NWRB. ATSP program by the NWRB.
1
 Clarification on permitting requirements from NWRB resource regulation. Reporting to

the NWRB on pumping level, etc. on a quarterly level.
 Tube wells are not permitted in Metro Manila, and Cebu per NWRB.
2. Workshop 1: Identifying Issues in Water Supply and Sanitation

o Open defecation, difficult to change
o Ram pump and solar have technical challenges, expensive to install and
maintain
o Poor organizing of water resulting in low maintenance of systems, user fees not
well implemented.
o Supply driven not demand driven or needs driven limited community
participation
o Limited frameworks for resource protection, IWRM planning / implementation;
resource conflict: agro, industry, and commercial supply
o Program is not sustained by the community beneficiaries
o Failure to transfer technology
o Failure to adopt technology
2
o Low priority of households, communities, and LGUs

o Equitable access,
o No alignment of WASH development with CDP, ELA, AIP, M/CLUP, i.e. project
vs. program / service delivery
o Water supply and quality are not a priority of the municipality (Maguindanao)
o Political dynamics
 Efficiency and Infrastructure
o Many water utilities have no :used water treatments” plants
o Prior implementation of solid waste management act
o Lack of money/technology to maintain and upgrade, expand water
infrastructure
o Infrastructure not designed to account for local resources
o Low or no maintenance of WASH facilities
o Infrastructure investment not large enough , percentage for cap. Dev. (?)
o Inappropriate design of water systems
o NRW
o High NRW, cmall WSP do not know how to control NRW
o Lack of knowledge and skills to build toilets and manage septage
 Household Access
o Lack of household financing for water supply service
o Behavior of household vis-à-vis conservation and preservation of water, use of
improved latrines
o Behavior / mindset of people not sustained
o Low awareness / education on the importance of water and sanitation, and
appropriate water and sanitation facilities.
3. Workshop 2: Identification of Issues and Recommendations

 Household Access
o National level awareness building
o Provide smart subsidies for WSS
o Mandate financial institutions to provide financing (wholesale and retail) to

development, organizational/governance structure of BAWASA, sanitation
marketing, and ZOD
o Incorporate IWRM in planning and program implementation
o Empowerment of BAWASA to manage, operate, sustain watsan service
delivery. Must be linked to private concessionaires.
o Strengthen community-based information education on water an sanitation
issues, solutions, technologies including affordable desludging services. EC to
include universal rights and watsan laws.
o Create an interdisciplinary group to focus on watsan needs and requirements.
Needs-based, evidence-based
o Explore appropriate watsan related technologies that fits into the context of the
community i.e. affordable, practical, acceptable, and sustainable
o Prioritize remote, vulnerable, and underserved areas in both urban and rural
areas
o Address and contextualize approaches to behavior change rooted on
rights0based approach
o In rural: come up with long-term spetage management. LGU to take land
ownership / mgt for sanitary landfill. Policy on land use.
o Establish / prioritize baseline data; LGU-led; management of database by year
2018.
 Clarifications
o Is there a plan to organize NGOs and CSOs, such as a coalition, to address
water supply and sanitation service provision. They are interested to support a
coalition to ensure the sustainability of the operation of water supply and
sanitation. Coalition to support the implementation of the master plan. They will
pressure the government to implement the master plan.
o NEDA plans to enact an EO to cover water supply and sanitation policies.

Assistant Environmentalist
Subject : Minutes of the Sanitation Round-Table Discussion with National

Government Agencies
Sanitation Round-Table Discussion with National Government Agencies
The Round-Table Discussion with the National Government Agencies was conducted last
February 7, 2018 at the NEDA Executive Lounge which started at 9:30 am and lasted until
5:30 pm.
The Sanitation Round-Table Discussion was spearheaded by the NEDA Central Office (CO)
to discuss and understand the current issues and programs in the sanitation sub-sector. The
main presenter and emcee was Engr. Jay Tecson, PWSSMP Principal Sanitation Specialist,
while other participants from select national government agencies were tasked to present their
current projects or plans in connection with the sanitation sector.
The participants of this RTD were:
DENR Ms. Maria Paz Luna Manila Water Mr. Mark Mulingbayan
DILG Mr. Rogelio Ocampo Maynilad Mr. Ryan Orillo
DOH Mr. Gerardo Mogol Mr. Jerry Palma
Ms. Catherine Joaquin MWSS Ms. Rebecca de Vera
DPWH Mr. Carlos Zamora NWRB Ms. Isidra Peñaranda
Mr. Alexander Castro RBCO-DENR Ms. Rochelle Lucero
EMB Mr. Jan Andrew Schnell USAID Be Secure Ms. Joanne Dulce
The program of activities and presentations used in the round-table discussion are annexed to
this document.
1
Highlights of the said meeting are:
1. Overview of the Sanitation Sub-sector
Some of the highlights of this discussion are as follows:
a. DPWH - The 74% onsite and offsite treatment discussed in the presentation is
a very high figure since most of the septic tanks are really bottomless.
b. Manila Water - A lot of the data used in the JMP by WHO is incorrect
especially for those located in the rural areas which show high figures (and I
refuse to believe that). This is now the time to define sanitation’s objectives as
not only for human heath but also for the environment and improvement of
water quality.
c. Sir Jay – As an example, if the DPWH budget allocation for sanitation is at Php
100 Billion spread over 5 years, so we will have at least Php 20 Billion per year
to achieve 97% access.
d. NEDA CO - Sir Bryan clarified that the 97% target for sanitation in the PDP was
based on the old definition. This needs to be adjusted since it will be hard to
reach 97% within 5 years using the new definition and this will be included in
the mid-term updating of the PDP.
e. Sir Jay - There is a need to discuss why LGUs are required to pass 5 different
sanitation plans for the same topic (sanitation), for the same area, and for the
same period.
f. Water.org – consortium of NGOs working together with the local government
to attain better sanitation for Metro Manila
2. Presentation of Current Sanitation Programs and Activities by Select Agencies
a. DPWH –National Sewerage and Septage Management Program (NSSMP)

Discussion Points
Agency Questions/Answers/Comments/Suggestions
Q: How many FS are included in the Php 10 million?
DENR A: Ongoing FS for two pilot projects chosen from the 17 HUCs
(Butuan City and Cagayan de Oro City).
Another set of 2 FS for HUCs in the year 2018 will be Iloilo City
and Bacolod City.
It was included in the Consultant’s responsibility to choose the
HUCs wherein they used 3 Criteria to determine the viability of
the project
- willingness to raise the counterpart cost
- preparedness of the LGU in implementing the sewerage
/septage project
- urgency
2
Discussion Points
Q: Why are the Consultants tasked to choose the project sites?
A: The responsibility was delegated to the Consultants to avoid
bias and rule out favouritism as an issue.
Q: Why not choose the biggest HUCs?

A: Even though they are one of the biggest if they are not
willing to shoulder the 50%, they will not be included. Another
is if the HUC is not prepared to have the project because it
does not have an ordinance for sewerage/septage
management then it might not work out. Or if the cities already
have plans, they are not included anymore (e.g. Zamboanga
City, Baguio City and Cotabato City).
Q: Don’t we have enough budget to simultaneously work on all

of the HUCs?
A: DPWH was not supposed to help in doing the FS. It was the
initiative of Usec Cathy so that the program can move forward.
Also, we have the recommendation that will hopefully address
this issue.
Q: Is it possible to use the DPWH budget (200 M) for the

creation of FS for all HUCs since it is really needed?
A: If the budget is already approved in the GAA, we cannot
transfer the budget easily because it is specified. If it is for FS,
it should be used only for FS.
Q: Do you think that the 10% increase in subsidy is sufficient?

A: We would like to help the cities as much as we can but we
think that they are capable of raising their share. We also
recognize that they have different priorities. There is a budget
for sanitation but it seems that sanitation is not their primary
concern.
C: Money is not the problem but the design, we can find the
money.
C: The only thing to do is to compare future scenarios of having

against not having these sewerage and septage projects. In 15
years, the project will cost 90% more and their damage to the
ecosystem is 3 times more than the current damage. If you
spend it now this is what it will cost.
Q: How will partnering with financing institutions be beneficial
3
Discussion Points
to the project?
A: It would help in the fast tracking of the project with the
provision of technical assistance and by stretching the annual
amortization over the span of 25 years which will be under the
GAA. This will allow the agency not to be locked up with only
Php 200 million for the project. Another is that every year 5
HUCs will be provided with a feasibility study.
C: Master planning is already stated in the Clean Water Act

however it is through the WQMA and not per LGU.
Manila Water Q: Have we assessed the 17 HUCs’ borrowing capacity? Since

only 20% the IRA is used for development cost.
A: This is a requirement from the LGU to be qualified because
it will show if the LGU can shoulder the 50% of the project cost
or borrow for it.
Q: And how many of the 17 HUCs cannot borrow anymore? If

we know the borrowing capacities of these HUCs, we are then
able to determine whether or not they will buy into the project.
A: We currently do not have this information.
C: We should assess from our side if the LGUs have the

capacity to do it or not.
C: You should not market it to LGUs, you market it to the LGUs

as part of a water basin.
Q: The role of the Water District is missing in the

recommendations.
A: We mentioned in the amendment for the WDs to be allowed
to apply. However, DPWH cannot directly download the budget
to the WDs since they do not have the legal basis/mandate to
do so. They are only allowed to download the money to the
LGU but not the WD and this is stated in the GAA so we in
DPWH cannot do anything about it. According to PD 198, funds
for the WDs should come from LWUA.
C: There is no mention in the Clean Water Act, for LGUs to

provide their own master plans. Only DPWH at the national
level.
NEDA CO Q: Are they allowed to cluster for a single project? With this
4
Discussion Points
they can share the equity required by the government.
A: Actually, yes. This is possible, an example is in Region 7,
Lapu-lapu City, Mandaue City and Cebu City.
C: Why is it at 50% equity? We cannot generalize it at 50%

only but we are going to need another NEDA board resolution
to change that.
USAID Q: If you are pushing for the amendment of the Clean Water
Act, but the downloading of the money is prescribed in the
GAA. How do you reconcile that?
A: We push for exemption/provision. What we would like to

happen is to push for penalties for the LGUs that do not
implement these kinds of sanitation projects.
DPWH C: All cities and municipalities to have ordinance on sewerage
and septage management
b. DILG - Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig para sa lahat (SALINTUBIG), Bottom-up Budgeting

(BUB), Assistance to Disadvantaged Municipalities (ADM)
Discussion Points
Agency Questions/Answer/Comments/Suggestions
DENR Q: How were the wells tested?
A: Testing kits were given to the municipalities.
Manila Water Q: For 4th to 6th class municipalities, can you give us an idea
how much is their annual operating budget?
A: No idea.
C: IRA - 55% is payroll, 20% is development funds. 20% of 20

million is only 5 million. How can you have a development
project with only five million? Their development fund cannot
provide the counterpart funding for projects.
USAID Q: If you were to provide subsidy for 4th to 6th class
municipalities, what kind of sanitation projects are these
usually?
A: For 2018, the municipalities have proposed public toilets.
Q: If the barangay has a very small subsidy for sanitation, how

does a barangay declare itself as “Zero Open Defection”?
A: Not necessarily each household has a toilet. It is still shared
and most are unimproved. It has a superstructure but it is still
bottomless.

After the lunch, a short video presentation about “Rethinking the Sanitation Chain
Paradigm” was shown to the participants and after this was the continuation of the
presentation of the select national agencies.
c. MWSS - Background of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS),
their existing facilities, their strategies and challenges in the project implementation were
presented.
Discussion Points
Agency Questions/Answer/Comments/Suggestions
MWSS C: With regards to subsidy, model of Baliwag is a very good
example to follow. They were able to implement their project
using internal funds by the WD and taking a loan from a local
bank (PNB or Landbank). The loan repayment was added to the
tariff. Can also invoke on the users pays principle. We are also
looking at sustainability since we are not only looking at
investment cost but also at the operating expenses.
C: For developing areas, to start planning for a good drainage

system that alsocollect sewage so that it does not penetrate into
the groundwater. Because once the area is congested just like
in Metro Manila, it will be harder to get permits or land for pipe
laying and construction of STPs.
The private concessionaires were also asked to add to the presentation by Ms. Becky de
Vera.
d. Maynilad – Challenges faced by Maynilad
1. Acceptance rate - for the last 5 years, for every 10 houses only 3 will agree to
desludge and at least 6 out of 10. The facility can only accommodate up to 60%..
Another issue for non-acceptance is informal settlers and missing septic tanks.
2. Accesibility – Maynilad has two types of vacuum truck units in wherein these can
pass through roads with less than 2.5 meters up to 6 meters right-of-way. Problems
arise in areas that cannot be accessed by these units.
3. Traffic – current situation of traffic in Metro Manila causes additional requirement of
trucks for Maynilad.
Discussion Points
DENR Q: Will your planning horizons change if LGUs pass ordinance
about septage management?
A: Yes, maam. It will enable the planning to fast track the
projects.
6
Discussion Points
Q: To DILG - The template does not include sewerage?

A: No, only septage management.
MWSS C: Province of Cavite has already passed an ordinance,

however only 6 municipalities/cities are being serviced by
Maynilad and also pushing for sewerage systems.
Sir Jay Q: To DILG - What kind of penalty is being served to the non-
complying LGU?
A: Slash in the budget or the LGU will not be given a chance to
access grants/funds or it will not be eligible for subsidy for the
following year.
Q: Do you have a waiver to show that the households who

availed and who did not avail?
A: Yes, we have a barangay exit wherein we summarize the
customers who availed and who did not avail of the services
and we make the barangay accept the list.
e. Manila Water – Challenges faced by Manila Water and Lessons Learned

Discussion Points
Manila Water C: There is no specification about the role of a private citizen
in the Clean Water Act. This can be the reason why they are
having a hard time compelling people to desludge their
septic tanks and to be connected to the sewer line.
C: PPP is not the solution for all. The success of MWSS is

not because Maynilad or Manila Water is good but because
of the crafting of a good contract. In other countries, PPP
with water service providers is a massive failure. The
strength that lies in the PPP in our country is that the
contract has outlined clearly what the service obligations are.
C: Model: Full cost recovery model, the two concessionaires

could invest, when it operates, there is a report card that we
submit every quarter. there is also a provision on rewards
and penalties if you don’t do a good job or if you do a good
job. that is very clear in the concession agreement. If the
local governments are going to enter into PPPs they have to
be done in a proper manner.
C: Why was Metro Manila privatized?

A: It is because of the 3 weaknesses of the government: as
7
Discussion Points
a service provider:
- not enough funds to go around
-procurement process in the government is terribly slow
-human capital in the government is not strong
C: Report card and compliance report - going above than

what is expected, and results show real outcomes on the
groundwater and not just how many projects were
implemented.
f. EMB – Clean Water Act and DAO 2016-08

Discussion Points
EMB C: Classification and reclassification of the rivers take up to

1 or 2 years per river. The goal of the DENR secretary is to
classify the remaining 228 rivers all over the country by
2022.
C: Unlike MWSS, EMB does not have STPs or WTPs to
operate so they require the establishments to treat their
own wastewater. We do not have control over the
households but only with the sewerage system in industry.
Currently we only have the General Effluent Standards
(GES) and later on it would be good to have Industry
Specific Effluent Standards (ISES).
C: There is a big problem since we do not know if all those
applying for business permit should be given a discharge
permit. Some businesses are too small to determine while
others do not have a specific location.
USAID Q: These standards cover the industrial sector, what about

hog-raising at the household level/countryside?
A: Since we have the GES, all establishments regardless of
volume should be monitored by the EMB.
DENR Q: Even if it is only 2 hogs? Is it considered as industrial?

A: Yes maam, as long as they apply for a business permit.
Q: For PCOs is it needed for all volumes as well?

A: We suggest that establishments that apply for discharge
permit, hazardous waste ID or anything related to the EMB,

Discussion Points
only then they will require a PCO but if you do not
discharge wastewater or hazardous wastes, they do not
need a PCO. Going back to the question on volumes, yes
at least 1 PCO per establishment.
Q: Isn’t that ridiculous?
A: One complain we heard is dentistry. What we suggested
to do is if they are located near each other or in a single
building, they can avail 1 PCO.
C: I think we should all amend all the ridiculous things.

Manila Water C: That is the new implication of the new DAO. There is no
distinction between the big and small. In fact, the small and
medium enterprises are doing to die because of that policy.
LLDA is already doing this.
A: This is actually one of the challenges that I would like to
raise in this discussion which is the challenge of assessing
every establishment. To what extent do we enforce this
policy.
Q: So does this mean that every commercial establishment

should have their own STPs?
A: Not necessarily as long as they have a way to control
their water pollution.
Q: How?
A: Others make it a point to not discharge at all.
C: The carinderias, laundry, small bakery, carwash, we are

putting a burden on these small and medium enterprises, I
agree that this issue be addressed. The utilities all over the
country should be able to render these services to the small
and medium enterprises. Unfortunately we do not have that
infrastructure yet.
Q: Why is it justifiable to impose these standards at all

levels (big, small, medium enterprises)? We must simulate
if the service is available, how you can regulate them
without killing them?
g. DOH – current and proposed projects of DOH and clarification of roles and responsibilities
of DOH in the water supply and sanitation sector
Discussion Points
DOH C: DOH is responsible for providing NSSMP in non HUCs
C: It is not in the mandate of DOH to construct sanitation
facilities so most of the funds are allocated in giving out of
9
Discussion Points
toilet bowls to the people which is only less than 1% of the
total facility needed for sanitation.
C: Budget for Infectious diseases is bigger than that of the
environmental division. We tell them that we should invest in
the prevention of the treatment of the diseases. Especially for
food and water borne diseases.
C: The protection of public health at household level is the
responsibility of DOH
C: We have proposed projects (at least 2 pilot areas per
region) to see how the provision of a complete sanitation
facility impacts the lives of the people.
C: Training LGUs to prepare their own sustainable sanitation
plan so that they can include this in the provincial investment
plan.
Manila Water Q: It is not in your mandate to provide septic tanks but why
are you providing toilet bowls?
A: It is a subsidy.
Q: If you can subsidise toilet bowls, why can’t you subsidise

septic tanks too?
A: In the local government code, it is the local government
unit that is the implementer of the sanitation program. So we
discourage the giving out of bowls and instead invest in a
complete sanitation facility. We are having a hard time
convincing the management on investing because of the cost
of construction which needs Php 100 billion investment. This
is bigger than the budget for DOH however since 1990 there
has been no investment for sanitation that is why it has
accumulated to the current figure.
DENR C: Health Promotion Act should not only be posters and
leaflets only.
USAID Q: What kind of communities are you targeting in your

proposed project?
A: We are targeting communities with very low sanitation
coverage and those with high incidence of diseases (e.g.
Schistosomiasis and other sanitation related diseases). This
is to showcase that by having complete sanitation facilities
there can be social and economic changes in the target
areas. We would also like to promote the small community
sewerage system and decentralized wastewater treatment
facility. This is to comply with the SDG 6 for safely managed
sanitation services from household to treatment and disposal.
So if this becomes successful, we can ask the LGUs to adapt
the program,
10
Discussion Points
Q: Is it possible for a sanitation project to be independent of

water supply? DOH is looking after the sanitation part, DILG
is providing support for the waterless communities. DOH
does not have the mandate to put up the toilet so all of these
things are happening separately.
A: One of the targets is that the area already has water
supply. If there is no water supply, sanitation is hard to
implement.
3. Regional Context – the presentation shows the regional picture of sanitation in the
Philippines.
Discussion Points
DENR Q: Where is composting toilets classified under?
A: Onsite treatment and can be considered as improved.
Manila Water C: High TDS in water sources can be attributed to salinity

problems.
C: The eco-sanitation network initiatives were in Region 8.
C: We need to clarify the word (hotspot) water scarcity which
means no water available while economic water scarcity
which means the inability to manage and use the water
resource.
USAID Q: Why is Region IV-A considered as a water resource
hotspot and why is there a need to highlight that?
A: It is based on the water quality and water quantity in the
WB study, Philippine Environment Monitor.
DOH Q: Are the percentages shown by population or by
household?
A: These were presented by the PSA in percentages, so I
reckon it is by household.
Q: We suggest to use number of households instead of

number of persons because in designing facilities it will
become per person and not per household.
A: The population is presented to show the access to
sanitation. This is because not all households have their own
sanitation facilities and those people will not be counted in
those with access. Anyway it can be converted vice versa by
using the number of people per household given by PSA for
each LGU.
Q: Open defecation needs behavioural change.

A: That is true sometimes the solutions for sanitation need
not be infrastructure or a facility. Social, behavioural changes
need to be included.
DILG Q: to DILG - the SALINTUBIG funding for ARMM was

Discussion Points
separated. So the funding does not report to DILG?
A: DILG is a part of the interagency for that. The funding is
from the GAA and was processed quickly because of the
president’s directive.
4. Resolutions – Delineating roles and responsibilities of the involved agencies and

finding solutions for problems identified during the presentations.

For National Sewerage and Septage Management Program

Delineation of Roles of the Agencies
1. DPWH - Septage and Sewerage for HUCs, all cities and 1st class
municipalities (Technical and Financial Assistance)
2. DOH – 2nd class to 6th class municipalities without WDs (Capacity
Development and Financial Assistance) and Compliance training – household
level (Proposed Lead Agency for Sanitation Programs)
3. DENR - Compliance training – commercial and industrial level
4. DILG - 2nd class to 6th class municipality without WDs (Technical and
Financial Assistance)
5. LWUA - LGUs with WDs (Financial and Technical Assistance)
Subsidy/Counterpart costs for local Goal of Unified Financing Framework
government unities (UFF) is to consolidate all financing
mechanisms for water supply and
sanitation so eventually NSSSMP,
SALINTUBIG, grant programs of
LWUA and all projects of water supply
and sanitation will follow a single
12
framework for financing single
mechanism. There will be a single
mechanism on how we are going to
allocate the resources of the
government including also the ODA to
implement the projects around the
country.
-UFF will vary depending on the

needs/capacity of the local
government to shoulder costs/ sliding
scale
For DENR
Reviewing of the Clean Water Act (responsibility of private individuals)
Clarifications on the General Effluent Standards based on Scale and Location (Small,
Medium, Big Enterprises)
Nationally Determined Contributions (wastewater and solid waste)
For DILG
Sustainability of the water supply and sanitation projects (successes and failures)
Municipal/City Ordinances to be passed about septage and sewerage management for
household level
For LWUA
Sustainability of the water supply and sanitation projects (successes and failures)
Regulation of Tariff setting and KPIs of WD
For NEDA
Reviewing and approval of the JV contracts for water supply
Creation of guidelines, pro-forma contracts for JVs
PPP responsible for BOT contracts and its approval
For DOH
Lead agency for the sanitation programs
Clarify the responsibility of DOH as implementer of sanitation management at the
household level
13
For Interagency Concerns

Streamlining the use of only one (1) plan for the sanitation road map/plan
Creation of a regulatory body or interagency group for the regulation of sanitation plans,
tariff setting and KPI of water service providers which are not water districts.
Studies to be conducted
Capability of LGU’s to pay for counterpart costs in development projects.
Comparison of priority projects based on the impacts/costs of projects to the environment
Clustering of LGUs for equity sharing on development costs
When should PPP be considered in projects?
To be discussed on the 2nd RTD

Questions/Answer/Comments/Suggestions
Spending budget on Feasibility Studies since it is a pre-requisite to be able to apply for
funding from the government
LGU-WD conflict – PD 198 and LGC
Convince DOH heads to make the department as the lead agency for sanitation
programs
5. Closing Remarks – Sir Bryan from NEDA CO closed the RTD by thanking the
participants with their very valuable insights about the challenges and issues faced by the

Highlights of Recently Completed Regional Consultations
• PWSSMP conducted several consultations and water audits

Minimal monitoring – sanitary and unsanitary toilet facilities
No nationwide program to implement and monitor wastewater/fecal sludge
collection and treatment tied to water pollution status
Majority of dug wells and open water bodies tested positive for e-coli
Low awareness on and appreciation of good sanitation and its relation to water
supply
No directive yet on how to translate the SDGs to local programs and projects
No impetus to push for septage management and sewerage; weak understanding
of Clean Water Act
How to do and costs associated to project development
No specific program for rural and urban
Clueless about Climate Change impacts
4
18/05/2018

There is interest to know more about sanitation
as they have been hearing about it
There are still “Malabanans” operating under the
LGUs’ radar
Uncertainty in developing TORs or procurement
for sanitation facility project
No guidelines on testing for wastewater or
effluent and availability of lab facilities
LCEs low awareness about sanitation
Lack of technical assistance, guidelines from
NGAs
Little to no budget for sanitation
Lessons from past sanitation initiatives
Something to think about…

• Improved planning will allow for better inter-agency coordination
and complementation; eliminate multiple plans and excessive
bureaucracy
• PEPS almost negligible compared to GEPS
• Need to review rural vs urban specific programs, customized and
focused solutions
• Civil society, Academe mobilized to protect, conserve the water
environment; partner with government
• Community of practice (CoP) should be encouraged
• Writ of Mandamus for every destroyed water body??

DOH POLICIES,
PROGRAMS
By 2022, the following have been achieved:
•All LGUs having their own local sustainable sanitation plans and
budgets in place under their PIPH, MIPH or CIPH
•Septage Management Plans in all LGUs
•Having reduced the incidence of Acute Gastroenteritis and Soil
AO 2010 – 0021
Transmitted Helminthiasis attributable to poor sanitary conditions
Sustainable Sanitation as
a National Policy and
By 2028,
National Priority Program
•universal access (100%) to safe and adequate sanitary facilities have
of the DOH
been provided,
•behavior change and proper hygiene practices are accepted norms
within families and communities,
•mechanisms for sustainable sanitation (i.e. linkage with health,
agriculture and environment) are institutionalized.
Summary of Agency Spending (if any) on Major Sanitation Programs
• Low investment on sanitation. Approximately 10M/year for MOOE

since 2000. Slightly increased to 20M in 2017 and 37M in 2018).
Note:
• No capital outlay for the establishment of sanitation facilities
• Sanitation program is limited only on the provision of toilet bowls
3
25/04/2018
Key lessons and challenges in the dispensation of your duties and
responsibilities as an agency focusing on sanitation
• The DOH role is limited only to policies and programs development as

the implementation of the sanitation program was devolved to LGUs
• No clear understanding of some DOH officials on the real mandate of
the department in terms of sanitation.
Wish List
• What do you (as an agency) wish to do in Sanitation in the coming 5 to 10

years?
• Implementation/Funding of the 5-year plan on sanitation program (see attached)
• What do you think is critical that needs to happen in the sector to achieve
the target of universal access to sustainable sanitation
• For the government to invest on the provision of complete sanitation facilities to
avoid/prevent the human waste (solid and liquid) from entering the environment.
• What would you recommend for your own agency to do to improve
sanitation delivery?
• Not to limit the department in policy making and shall invest more on the
provision of sanitation facilities

Agency Sanitation Mandate

Republic Act No. 9275 s. 2004: Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004
SECTION 7. National Sewerage and Septage Management Program. -
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), through its
relevant attached agencies, in coordination with the Department, local
government units (LGUs) and other concerned agencies, shall, as soon
as possible, but in no case exceeding a period of twelve (12) months
from the affectivity of this Act, prepare a national program on
sewerage and septage management in connection with Section 8
hereof.

Major Sanitation Policies

NEDA Board Resolution No. 3, s. 2012 – approved on the budgetary
support of 40% of the project cost for sewerage projects as a national
government counterpart for the 17 Highly Urbanized Cities (HUCs)
only.
NEDA Board Resolution No. 6, s. 2017 (pending President’s approval)
– increased budgetary support to 50% and expanded the coverage of
the Program to include septage projects not only for the 17 HUCs but
also the non-HUCs and 1st Class Municipalities.
NSSMP Program Operations Manual (POM) – approved on March
2013 and was prepared in compliance to RA 9275 to provide a
procedural framework on the implementation of the NSSMP.
Summary of Agency Spending

Procured Consulting Services for the Conduct of Feasibility Studies for
Sewerage and Septage Projects on 2017. Allocated budget is
₱10,000,000.00.
Release of 50% Subsidy to Zamboanga City for the implementation of
sewerage project.
Will be procuring for Consulting Services for the Preparation of FS for
Septage and Sewerage Projects for 2018. Allocated budget is
₱12,000,000.00.

18/05/2018
Key Challenges
Inherent complexities in implementing sewerage projects
High cost of sewerage systems
• Estimates vary widely but range from ₱5,000 to ₱10,000 per capita
• HUCs opting for septage programs as an initial phase (cost ranges from ₱230-
₱445 per capita)
Changes in the administration in LGUs every three years
LGU-Water District conflict
Lack of funding for and technical capability in preparing feasibility
studies
Looking Forward
The goal of the NSSMP is to improve water quality and protect public
health in urban areas of the Philippines in five to ten years. Its
objectives are to enhance the ability of local implementers to build and
operate wastewater treatment systems for urban centers and promote
the behavior change and supporting environment needed for systems
to be effective and sustainable. The main strategy is to facilitate a
bottom-up, demand-driven project development process by providing
national government support and incentives.
Specifically, DPWH aims to at the very least provide subsidies to all 17

HUCs outside Metro Manila.
3
18/05/2018
Looking Forward
In order to achieve sustainable sanitation in the country, the following
concerns must be addressed by all agencies involved in this endeavour:
Technical capabilities of National Government Agencies, Local
Government Units, and Water Districts with regard to planning and
implementation of sewerage and septage projects
Awareness of relevant stakeholders on issues and concerns relevant
to sanitation
Recommendations
Partner with Financing Institutions in providing financial and technical
assistance to LGUs in the preparation and implementation of
sewerage/septage projects.
Continue providing technical assistance to LGUs willing to implement,
operate and maintain sewerage/septage projects.
Promote PPP scheme in project implementation to LGUs.
Push for amendments to the Clean Water Act to include penalties on
non-complying LGUs
Push for full subsidy of sanitation project preparation and
implementation.

RTD for Sanitation with
Management Level Personnel
MINUTES OF MEETING
Ref No : MOM_030
Date : February 19, 2018
From : Fiona Porras

Subject : Minutes of the Second Sanitation Round-Table Discussion with National

Government Agencies
Second Sanitation Round-Table Discussion with National Government and Private

Agencies
The Second Round-Table Discussion with the National Government Agencies was conducted
last February 19, 2018 at the 6th floor of the NEDA Executive Lounge which started at 1:30 pm
and lasted until 5:00 pm.
The Second Sanitation Round-Table Discussion is spearheaded by the NEDA CO to

streamline the sanitation sector and also to determine and delineate the roles of the National
Government Agencies with regards to the implementation of sanitation projects, programs and
activities. The main presenter and MC is Mr. Jay Tecson, Principal Sanitation Specialist.
The participants of this RTD are:
DOH Frank Diza LWUA Jeci A. Lapus

Gerardo Mogol Jessilyn Catapang
Catherine Joaquin Catalino Jose
Mario S. Baquilod DPWH Dolores Hipolito
DILG Fe Crisilla M. Banluta Rosemarie Mae del Rosario
Rolyn Zambales Alex Castro
MWSS Leonor C. Cleofas PAWD Arturo Villasan
NWRB Archie C. Asuncion RBCO Rochelle L. Lucero
Juan Y. Corpuz Jr. Consultant Carla Lesaca
Precedent to the first Sanitation Round Table Discussion, a brief overview was presented to
the participants and was soon followed by the open discussion. The discussion revolved
around the recommendations gathered in the first meeting conducted. Key points brought up
in the open discussions are as follows:
1
Technical and Financial Assistance
 Issue on who will give assistance to municipalities having Water Districts and
LGU-run water services.
This will still have to be discussed between the water districts and LGUs to determine
who will be assisting. However under the NSSMP grant, the funds can only be
downloaded to the LGUs.
 Determining on which agency is the most appropriate to give assistance to the
2nd to 6th municipalities. There are three agencies which are being pushed
forward. The objective of the meeting is to push for sole responsibility.
DILG – the agency already has the mechanism to draw down the funds from the
national to the local government units. Hindering factors to accepting the role is that
the concept of sewerage and septage is still new and still have a lot of externalities
which needs a lot of focus. Another is the absorptive capacity of the agency to take on
the role of assisting the municipalities.
DOH – the agency has the technical capacity however do not have the mechanism to
draw down the funds from the national to the local as such with DILG.
DPWH – the agency has the mechanism and technical capacity however there will be
a need for the amendment of the NEDA board approval for the expansion of their
coverage area.
 All financial assistance of the National Government to the Local Government
should come from one (1) plan which is the Local Development Investment Plan
(LDIP).
This is stipulated in the national budget circular for 2019 that the budget will now be
LGU driven rather than NG driven.
 Agencies need to agree on a single syllabus for capacity development programs
and compliance training.
This is proposed to ensure that all stakeholders will be well-informed and that
everyone will have the same standards to follow.
 The Unified Financing Framework (UFF) still needs to prove itself before being
launched.
There are still many concerns and issues about the UFF. There are many externalities
and factors to be considered in the planning and design of sewerage and septage
systems including the hazards and climate resiliency.
 Developed or Underdeveloped? Where to focus?
Many of the WSPs in the country has yet to achieve complete coverage of their
service areas. The sewerage and septage system loan being offered will not be that
attractive for the WSPs. Others still have difficulty in acquiring additional water supply
for their concessionaires.
Regulation
 Currently, there are no guidelines on biosolids quality to qualify as soil
conditioners to be used for agriculture.
2
As the number of STPs are increasing, the volume of sludge will also increase and
this imposes a problem in the future if only disposal will be the only option for the
operators. Hence there is a push for the study of these biosolids for reuse as such
with the US EPA standards for soil conditioner.
 Issue with the regulation/violation of establishments not following the effluent
standards and whom to penalize for allowing establishments to operate without
STPs.
A lengthy discussion was made on who shall be made responsible in penalizing
establishments that are operating without treating their effluents. However the bigger
question brought upon was where the monitoring and evaluation of the
establishments.
 There are many models being used for tariff setting and there is no regulating
agency for the water tariff setting for LGUs
As said, DILG do not have the authority over LGU’s water tariff setting. This role is
devolved to the LGUs/Sangguniang Bayan. Should there be a complaint for the water
tariff setting, with many models being used one cannot determine which is more just
than the other. NWRB currently has a model being developed under the sponsorship
of World Bank which can be used by government agencies or by the private sector.
LWUA also has a number of models depending on the water districts type. This will
still have to be discussed further.
 Many Water Districts are entering into Joint Venture with private companies.
The proliferation of JV’s between WDs and private companies is eyed with both being
criticized and commended by the stakeholders. Points for consideration for this model
is that there is no governing institutional set-up and the uncertainty of having power
over their own performance standards and tariffs is foreseen as a problem in the long
term.
 Considerations for PPP’s to be restructured or amended to allow for stricter or
clearer regulatory process.
As of now there are stipulated numbers in the JV’s and PPP guidelines which if not
exceeded may allow the agencies/organizations to proceed without the need to be
regulated by an arbiter. There is a motion to remove the figures (as such in the JV
guidelines) as this will only be exceed throughout the years. NEDA was also tasked to
identify the regulator. Another input from the participants is to consider the
decentralization of this process. This was defended that the LGUs or the locals know
better of the things that need to be done for their areas.
The program of activities and presentations used in the round-table discussion is annexed in
this document.

Notes of Meeting
Round Table Discussion with Development Partners
Richmonde Hotel, Ortigas
February 26, 2018
Started with a round of Introduction: WHO, SURGE, ADB, UNICEF, EU, KOICA, JICA, GIZ
Team: NEDA, PWSSMP Team
1. Welcome Remarks
On behalf of Sec. Pernia and Usec Tungpalan, Director Roderick Planta welcomed the participants to
the roundtable discussion with development partners organized by the PWSSM Team. He recognized
that they are important partners of the government and thanked everyone for making time for this
very important activity of the government. He welcomed the specialists present to help the
government thresh out the information that the PWSSMP team has gathered thus far. He stressed
that this is not the usual master planning but very different from what people are accustomed to. The
WSS masterplan will contain an indicative investment program aside from the usual policy reforms
we intend to pursue. He wished everyone an interesting afternoon.
2. Objectives of Meeting
Mr. Ramon Alikpala presented the objectives of the meeting and noted that the PWSSMP team is still
halfway through the regional consultations and encouraged the participants to take this opportunity
to raise issues and other relevant matters that have been overlooked.
3. Presentation of the Project

Mr. Ramon Alikpala presented the project overview touching on the nature, objectives, activities,
team composition, reporting, and basic information on water supply and sanitation. He stressed that
water supply and sanitation should be addressed together.
Discussion
 There are 17 regions including ARMM. The 17th region is the national capital region. We will work
with Maynilad and Manila Water in Metro Manila. The PWSSMP team, together with the
provinces and the regions will develop 17 WSS road maps.
 Shared toilets are not considered in the sanitation coverage.
 Use the SDG definition in 2022 target.
 If we apply the criteria of safely managed in our baseline, the figures will be lower.
 PSA 2017 could be the new baseline in water quality.
 Open defecation (OD) is significantly higher than what is presented here. ARMM is higher.
 A number of countries is struggling when it comes to reporting numbers on safely managed. JMP
has no baseline on this. The assumption is too optimistic.
 Masbate has no fecal sludge management. In theory, they have off site treatments but in reality
it does not exist.

4. Presentation of Sector Assessment
See slides.
In terms of people without access to safe water, there are hotspots in the country. These are
ARMM, Bicol, Cagayan Valley, Western Visayas and Western Mindanao. Water service type (L3,
L2, L1) was explained. About 12% of the population have no access to water and some 32% have
access to far and unsafe water. Safe water is delivered by water districts to 44% of the population.
Water utilities that are regulated properly have better performance and better service. There is a
strong correlation between regulation and performance.
800 water districts are registered but only 517 are operational. Others that have shut down did
not even get off the ground. MWSS is the largest water district serving 15 m people. The water
districts and MWSS serve 75% of the 44m people served by L3 water connections. Salintubig is a
DILG program for water and sanitation. It is a funding mechanism of the government to reach
communities with no water districts and whose access to water is less than 50%. Most funding for
the water sector comes from the private sector. There are limited funds from the national
government, only about 13m. Assistance is not targeted. No one size fits all program. Reforms
that work in one region may not work in another. The consultations are appreciated because the
process gets them more involved.
Issues highlighted the following needs for economic regulatory body, improved access to
financing, more private sector participation, water sector apex body for water resources
management in general. Strategy is looking at the underdeveloped, developing, developed
segments of the WSS sector. Strategies for small community managed water utilities are different
for established water districts.
There are different approaches based on the needs of each category. Most water districts have
less than 5,000 connections and their capacities have to be increased. There are more than 1,000
local governments without professionally managed water districts. These LGUs have to ring fence
their account and manage their water systems. There are local governments who choose not to
form water districts but need to improve their economic enterprise management.
Reforms will include a discussion on what kind of water department will be appropriate, how do
we access finance, push for economic regulatory body. Minimum institution to improve access.
Improve the private sector participation, the better the regulation. There is a need for Php 45b
per year for water to meet the targets. NSSMP allows DPWH to provide counterpart funding for
HUC for sewerage system and will expand to include septage as well.
As for the sanitation sector, the figure for open defecation (OD) is high. Typhoons damage toilets
as maybe the case in Samar. Toilets built by programs have no ownership by the beneficiaries
since they did not invest in it. LGUs give toilet bowls but there is no accompanying behavior
change so people do not value their toilets. In Leyte, post Haiyan, there is zero OD. There are new
targets to meet and gaps that have to be addressed.
2|Page
Among the actions that were implemented are guidelines on setting effluent standards,
establishment of WQMAs and it has been established that there is a strong link between WQMA
and sanitation, septage ordinance and establishment of the NSSMP program. There are a number
of sanitation issues presented. Foremost among them is the high access in basic sanitation but
not improved sanitation and the conflict between LGUs and WDs.
A list of challenges and strategies in the following key areas were also presented at the end of the
presentation: resource, regulatory, governance, financing, management and political.
Discussion
Water quality
 SDG will cover water quality. In some areas, laboratories are not equipped to test all the needed
parameters. This concern is also raised in regional consultations being conducted by the PWSSMP
team. Schools with adequate laboratories are easy fit. There is a question whether water
laboratories are included in the water supply investment cost.
 Water quality should be included in the national standards for drinking water. It should be a
requirement for all water supply system. All the ten parameters should be tested in laboratories
nationwide.
 There are additional players like the private sector. Water refilling stations are not captured in the
analysis and are not featured in the masterplan. Some of the bottled waters do not meet the
water quality standards. In addition, water refilling stations have wasteful treatment of water.
Impacts of climate change also need to be addressed.
Investment/Funding
 The UFF will be the financing mechanism of the government. SURGE is going to work on this.
 Costing on sanitation has been done. But toilets are investment of home owners. Some housing
programs do not have the investment on sanitation.
 Subsidize sanitation investment for the poorest and vulnerable. Conditions in island barangays
along the coast are challenging. Investment for toilet is much higher compared to other areas.
Some areas may warrant financial or materials support.
 Water Alliance could help provide funds for simple toilets.
 Does the investment cost for infrastructure of water supply take into account the BWASAs? These
types of water service providers are established and left on their own. Their maintenance is
extremely high compared to urban areas and so they must have cost recovery. Will UFF subsidize
BWASAs? The proposed investment is a big ask. NEDA asks us for a game plan that can be
supported.
 On UFF. Has there been any discussion to reduce the number of water districts to minimize
overhead? Have long term or short-term financing through bonds been explored?
3|Page
Behaviour Change Campaigns
 DOH has tested materials for behavior change campaigns. But these campaigns are not
implemented at scale and consistently. Need to know what kind of investments are needed.
 There is a need to get the messages out there on what are the minimums needed and how to get
there. Septage management information campaign of LGU or water districts and even the private
sector need investment and is currently not receiving significant funding. There are initiatives by
the LGUs but these are really dependent on individuals. Need to mobilize LGUs to fulfill their
mandate.
 In some instances, toilets were donated but were not used for their purpose because the
distribution is couple with behavior change education campaign.
Institutional Arrangement
 WRC will consolidate all regulators – LWUA and NWRB – into one agency. They can issue licenses.
Tariffs for septage is not being done by any regulatory body. More importantly, local governments
should secure licenses themselves.
 Some 1,000 LGUs have no water districts. Some water systems make money and some LGUs use
that money. There has to be a better control over systems and revenues.
 There are many strategies as regards institutional improvements: create Department of Water,
create a regulatory commission, DOH as a champion. One agency can be created, others will be
strengthened. What is the direction of the masterplan on institutional development? The specific
objective is access to water and sanitation. What strategies do we need to achieve this specific
objective? One of the gaps identified is an agency in-charge of meeting that strategy. We are
looking at two new institutions. We need a legislation. A Water Regulatory Commission in charge
of economic regulation will be responsible for water and sanitation regulation tariffs similar to
ERC of the Energy. A Department of Water will have regulatory functions in relation to quantity
and quality issues and will be in-charge of water resources in general.
 Suggestion to hold another RTD to discuss Department of Water.
Water Efficiency/Water Demand Management

 Water recycling is maximizing whatever water is available like tapping rainwater. It is important
to push for water recycling and recycled water should not cause health problems down the line.
There must be capability to test at the local level.
 A lot of countries have policies such as mandatory use of low flush toilets, restricted flow of
shower heads.
 Raise awareness on water demand management. Look at the efficiency side. Clean Water Act and
its IRR provide for the reuse of waste water for example in agriculture. Manila water manages
waste water treatment plant. They do not throw away water but put up storage tanks with outlets
so MMDA can use this water to water the plants. Water fixtures need to be labeled. Strange that
in the Philippines, there are no labels of water fixtures. Immediately encourage use of low flow
faucets and shower heads. Put in aerators to reduce consumption of water by 30%. Demand for
water efficient fixtures can increase with public information. Only those water efficient fixtures
will be sold. Align all needed policies of government and dialogues with developers and national
housing authority are necessary. The challenge to government is to review water efficiency
policies such as reserve drinking water quality for drinking purposes only. Another policy that the
4|Page
government can look into is the use of double piping for new government buildings. A suggestion
was made to call for a water summit.
 We have a small market for flush toilets at about 44% of those with L3 water connections.
 Except those who label themselves green developers, the attitude of some developers on water
efficiency is that it is not my problem for as long as they have the biggest profit. Water efficiency
is very well received by building managers though.
 Local government can make local legislation. For example, a local legislation on secondary pipe
system. This can be monitored before the government issues the Certificate of Occupancy.
Access
 There is a need for water supply to schools and for the actors in the sectors to coordinate more.
 Unbundling the services in the water sector similar to what the energy sector has especially for
service deliveries in metro cities. Amalgamation in some areas where a number of utilities
provides services to households far apart. Is this possible in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu?
Bulacan bulk model is an example. Because of scale and scope, one operator was able to bring
the price of water to 9.50 which is unheard of in bulk water delivery. Small communities, 4th or 5th
class municipalities cannot develop their water source. If one operator has a commitment to draw
a bulk for the entire province or for an entire river basin, water is assured in 4th or 5th class
municipalities who otherwise cannot afford water. But you need scale to make it happen. This will
also mean unbundling distribution from bulk operators. Like the Dept of Energy, in charge of
distribution. To be studied in more detail.
Participation in the development of the plan

 There are other players in the sectors like private companies, water refilling stations, that sell
water to people. How are they associated with the plan?
Data Collection, Monitoring and Evaluation

 Public institutions are part of the SDG reporting in relation to water supply and sanitation
specifically access of health care and schools to safe water. This is directly linked to DOH and
DepEd because they are already gathering data on WSS. As part of monitoring, there are data
available for primary and secondary schools. These are indicators that can be used in knowing
usability and accessibility of facilities. There is a need to bring in Dep Ed into the picture. A
Technical Working Group is working on this. Contact details of focal person to be given to the
PWSSMP team by UNICEF and DOH.
 There are no available data on access to WSS in health care facilities. WHO and UNICEF at the
global level had developed different tools to try to look at this and DOH is reviewing those to see
if they could be applied to the Philippines context. One tool is WASH Fit to be used in health care
facilities level. The other is a broader tool which is about the overall health care facility and WASH
is one segment. DOH is trying to combine the two tools and see if they can make a survey of the
health facilities. Data will not be available immediately. Collecting that data can be part of the
master plan.
 When we identify laws that are passed, we do not look into the capacities of the agencies that are
supposed to implement those laws and hence a major gap. The role of NWRB is to issue CPCs to
give water rights to everybody. In 2004, NWRB issued 18,000 permits but only had 3 people to
5|Page
monitor permits issued. Even if there is a ban on ground water extraction there is no one to
monitor.
5. Regional Workshops
See slides.
Ms. Bebet Gozun presented the output of the regional consultations. She mentioned the objectives
of the consultation and that 6 regional planning workshops have been conducted in Cagayan Valley,
Central Luzon, Eastern Visayas, Western Visayas, Caraga and Northern Mindanao.
The most common issues identified during the planning workshops are the following:
Water Resources
• Water Resources and infrastructure are highly susceptible to climate hazards
• Over extraction of ground water
• Majority of dug wells and open water bodies tested positive for e-coli
• Inadequate water resources in vicinity
• Human habitation in watershed areas or near water sources
Governance
• Presence of multiple water institutions. No single body focusing on water supply and sanitation
• Fragmented regulatory framework
• Water supply and sanitation is not a priority of Local Chief Executives
• No nationwide program to implement and monitor wastewater/ fecal sludge collection and
treatment tied to water pollution status
• Poor compliance with Clean Water Act
• No directives on strategy to translate SDGs to local programs and projects
• Lack of comprehensive, participatory planning at local level
Financing
• Inadequate funds for the maintenance, rehabilitation and expansion of water systems
• LGUs find difficulty in complying with stringent requirements to access funds or financing
Political
• Water is used a political commodity
• Conflicts between LGU and water district
• Consumers caught in the middle of opposing governor-mayors
Regulatory
• Lack of information and monitoring system on access and coverage
• Monitoring of water quality is rarely undertaken
• Lack of water laboratories in far flung areas
• Minimal monitoring of sanitary facilities
• Lack of political will - Poor enforcement of policies and laws - resource, economic, environment
• Water rates are too low in areas
Management
• Lack of technical knowledge on water and sanitation
• Lack of awareness on climate change impacts and how to build resiliency into the water system
• Poor attitude of many government employees on improvement of service
6|Page
• Poor water service to consumers
• Water rates are too low
• Lack of septage facilities – many mayors and governors do not even realize that they should be
concerned with giving permits to desludgers
• Water utilities are not operated as business enterprises
Water should be viewed as an economic good in accordance with the proper pricing of natural
resources. The WSS vision per region was shown to the participants. Ms. Gozun explained how the
planning workshop was conducted. Sample plans that contain strategies, priority programs and
projects ended the input. She also stressed that the budgeting system of the government has been
changed to cash basis. LGUs have to submit the budget they will be able to spend for the year. For a
multi-year project, they will request for the amount they will be able to spend for the year. Discussion
followed.
Discussion
Investment/Funding
 It is really important to focus on equitability. The private sector does not invest where it does not
make sense in terms of economies of scale. The gap between the need for 45B annually for water
and the government allocation of 3B is striking. This administration puts more priority on water.
Budget on WSS for 2019 can reflect some of those projects that can be immediately funded. The
Senator chairing the Committee on Finance committed to put more money on WSS. Last year, the
government had 600B unspent from its appropriated budget.
 Once the priority programs have been identified in the master plan, is there a process to get
commitment of line agencies to implement these programs? Will they put these programs in their
public investment programs? We want a program for the sector. The problem is that as of now,
we don’t have the champions. NEDA is the default champion now because of this master planning
and the real need for holistic strategy for the sector. NEDA should be vetting the proposals that
will come from the agencies. They should have a document that will be evaluated by NEDA.
Through this master planning exercise, programs are developed with their participation and
consent. The program is a mix bag of all things. Some are technical assistant grants, some
feasibility studies, some capital assistant grants for those who cannot increase their tariff,
promotional/IEC materials for DOH. Another workshop will be convened to develop the
investment program. NEDA will help the sector come up with the common proposal and go
through the normal process of evaluation and approval. Increase budget from 3b to 9b for a start
to fund projects now that are not controversial.
 UFF would the branding mechanism that will bring about these projects. UFF has been approved
by the NEDA Board and the Infra Com. Salintubig and other WSS programs will be branded under
UFF. We can technically request for bigger allocation. We are trying to adopt the highest common
factor of all these programs, same higher standards for all like water quality standards. By
agreeing to this, all line agencies that will be part of this program, will get a bigger allocation from
their current one. Salintubig can still be called the same but under the UFF.
 UFF will also have gradation in terms of L1, L2, L3 and where more public investment is needed
and where the private sector will play more active role in some areas. Government will subsidize
7|Page
areas where people live far apart and where systems will be more expensive. In other areas,
where investment is more economically and financially viable, the private sector can invest.
 Unbundling of the service delivery. There could be some cases where it might not be too
expensive to provide better service connection if source development is unbundled and capital
investment is subsidized by the government. Government would normally move those that will
deliver results at the political level. In terms of priority the government will go for waterless first
and those with high marks on open defecation. We need traction for now. Amalgamation will not
be highlighted, but under the radar and is a priority nonetheless.
Water Quality
 There was a question of the quality assurance of the plan. How involved are the regional health
officers and have all the right people been involved in the regional master plans? There might be
a need for a quality assurance process to see if some key programs have been missed out. Ms.
Bebet Gozun explained that there is a template for all the regions to follow which includes both
water supply and sanitation. These plans will be presented to the Social Development Committee
and the Infrastructure Committee of the RDC. They will give inputs and comments, the team will
work on it furthermore, and hopefully they will endorse these plans. After their buy-in, the plans
will be submitted to NEDA. UNICEF informed everyone that the regional health offices developed
a 2 year sanitation acceleration plan. It will be good to cross check these plans and incorporate
into the master plan if there are gaps.
 Does the national government require WDs or the LGUs submit semi-annual water quality report?
It was suggested to make the submission of WSS quality report a requirement for funding like in
Jordan and in many other countries where funding is tied to reporting. This makes water districts
and LGUs accountable. A good source is from the American Public Waterworks Association and
International Water and Wastewater Association who are really behind the water quality
assessment. In California, the public works make the report available to the customers.
 In one convention of PAWD, there was a presentation on water quality of all water districts. LWUA
issued a Memo Circular in 2015 requiring water districts to submit water quality report.
Compliance is not 100%. LWUA is still compiling the data and the report is not yet in their website.
There is still room for improvement. Data is not well analyzed and not well presented yet. It makes
sense for LWUA to play the role especially in the analysis of data.
 Without the power of the loan, LWUA cannot compel WDs to do what WDs don’t want to do. In
the absence of WRC, how can we strengthen the regulatory function of LWUA and by what
authority can they do that? An example is the joint venture.
Master Plan
 One suggestion is to develop a legislation on masterplan every 15 years and secure its funding.
This is the 5th master planning on WSS which started in the 80s. In the past, World Bank and other
donors supported the master planning. There is a need to look beyond the SDGs. Ms. Gozun
explained that this master planning is funded by NEDA and is a major first step. The problem with
the government is it goes through the motion but does not take master plan seriously. It does not
refer to the master plan when it develops its other plans. NEDA has to cross check the plans
submitted to them and these plans have to be championed at the local level.
8|Page
 Salintubig program of DILG is demand driven and this is what we are trying to do in this master
planning – getting the demand at the regional level. This is a matter of prioritizing which projects
to implement first from proposals from regions and provinces.
 UNICEF to lobby on behalf of DOH because the water investment is clearer. DOH this year is
working based on a phased approach to sustainable sanitation. This is a ladderised approach to
SDGs– which specific programs are needed to help them get to the next stage. A draft policy is
being developed with DOH. LGUs have been consulted, regional consultation in March, then a
round of consultations with different national stakeholders. The draft policy will go to the Health
Policy Unit and a presentation to the Department of Health. Part of that policy will have some
budget implications. There is some work that can be done with PWSSMP and DOH to make sure
that some of the costs could be integrated into the master plan.
Data Quality and Collection

 One of the problems is getting access to the updated WWS data. In addition, there is a question
whether the data is reliable to help them strategize how to support the sector. There is a lack of
central data base. Water districts have different calculations even for NRW. Calculations are not
standard. Some do not have working meters and are just estimating. There is a need to further
enhance this area. It is an excellent opportunity with creation of the PSA under NEDA. They are
also in-charge of developing statistical program of the country. PSA has an environment and
natural statistics unit. They agree on standards including template for reporting and protocol for
sharing.
6. WSS Programs of Development Agencies
 GIZ is not directly and not currently in WSS. It is involved in mainstreaming CCA in the sector
planning and policy reforms to have a more climate adaptive management in the sector.
 JICA has a 2 sewerage system programs in Manila. Pipeline program septage development in
Cebu. NRW program with Maynilad. NEDA suggested to JICA that in the next two years, maybe
JICA could help in baselining of data nationwide, in coordination with KOICA. In 1998, JICA
supported data collection used in water demand projection and is still being used today. JICA TO
establish its leadership again on data collection.
 KOICA: no involvement yet.
 UNICEF works with both DOH and DILG in looking at how to strengthen IWASH at the LGU level.
This includes working on the different components of the enabling environment, demand creation
and the supply side. Assisting LGUs put together proposals to access funding. Providing technical
assistance to LGUs for septage management plan and FS. Current country program ends in
December and will start with their new 5 year program. This will focus on their upstream work –
investment in M&E, technical capacity development. One area could be the regional hub. IWASH
needs more investment to make them function. Will also work with GIZ and DepEd to look at their
WASH in schools, with DSWD to look at WASH in day care programs, with DOH on WASH in health
9|Page
facilities. Might model concepts in some focus geographical areas and bring these up at the
national level. Example: WASH in schools in 36 LGU target areas.
 ADB is now working with MWSS on a water supply project, to build a new tunnel in Angat. Also
work with LWUA and water districts. At the moment there is no sanitation project in the
Philippines. To organize the study tour as part of bilateral cooperation. International Office for
Water is based in Paris and they do a lot of training. Already communicated with Tractebel about
this projects study visit to France and it will be easy to organize.
 WHO is supporting DOH in water safety planning. They supported DOH in developing one
administrative order to require all water utilities to prepare and implement water safety planning.
Also supported DOH in updating national standards for drinking water issued last year. Also
supporting DOH in sanitation safety planning. Piloted and tested the concept with different
institutions. Right now, they are in the stage of developing a policy on sanitation safety planning.
Supported PSA in the testing of 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 SDG targets and indicators. PSA could come up with
the data for master planning. In the pipeline is WASH in health facilities. WHO has developed
concept notes and project proposals and looking for partners on WASH in healthcare and
Greening healthcare facilities. In partnership with UNICEF on WASH in emergencies.
Additional Discussion
 In our targets, there should not be L1 anymore, but only L2 and L3 and no open defecation for
sanitation plus septage. HUCs should have sewerage. Based on our consultation. provinces have
identified their targets which will contribute to the national targets.
 We do not have the baseline for safely managed sanitation.
 The NSSMP targets are very ambitious. Part of the process is revisit targets. More fundamental is
to make people aware of sanitation. Targets are aspirational.
 There will be a second round of formal consultation once the plan is drafted.
 PDF can be revived.

Economic Impacts of Sanitation in the Philippines

(2008)
Economic costs in the order of US$ 1.4 billion, equivalent
to about 1.5% of GDP in 2005 and translated to per capita
losses of US$ 16.8 per year.
The health impacts costs at about US$ 1 billion, 72% of

total economic costs.
Economic impact on water resources accounted for about

23% of the total costs.
Other impacts are on other welfare impacts and tourism.
Sector Issues and Concerns
Water Resource Issues

• Insufficient Volume – it is getting
more difficult to secure ground
water sources
• Water Quality – many sources are
contaminated
• Sustainability – many sources are
improperly managed
• Geographical – particularly island
communities
• Resiliency to Climate Change and
Extreme Events (i.e. Floods,
Droughts, Earthquakes)
5
07/06/2018
• There is no “Regulatory Stick” to drive
expansion and improvement of water
systems
• There is no regulatory oversight for Joint
• There is no national agency responsible
for water supply and sanitation in the
country
• The water sector regulatory
environment is fragmented (LWUA,
NWRB, MWSS, PEZA, TIEZA, LGUs) and
observe different regulatory models
• There is no comprehensive strategy to achieve the SDG
in water and sanitation; definitions
• There is little awareness on the need for basic and
improved sanitation at the local level – and no sustained
national or local efforts to improve awareness
• Many LGUs and water utilities do not practice Water
Demand Management (WDM)
6
07/06/2018
Financing Challenges
• Many small water utilities are unable to access
financing and/or funding
• Banks are unfamiliar with water utility operations
• Many water districts are not credit worthy
• The national government has insufficient funds to
improve the sector
• Impact on tariffs impedes expansion or new
investments
• Majority of LGUs run water utilities are not set up and
operated as business enterprises and do not have the
necessary technical and managerial capacities.
• Many water districts do not have the technical
management
• Many LGUs do not implement the proper regulation for
septic tanks and other onsite wastewater disposal
systems
7
07/06/2018
Political Challenges
• There are conflicts between water districts and LGUs
• Politicized NIMBY
• Tariffs are politically influenced

With the many proposed reforms/interventions that

were proposed and some that were implemented,
why then has the sector not really improved?
From a WB Report – Diagnostic Study of 2008 , it
was noted that the reforms have not been
effective for various reasons:
1. The reforms were not targeted – many of the

proposals were not good ones.
2. They were not marketed well enough. There
was also lack of champion.
3. There were not enough funding to support
implementation.

systems and the 17 highly urbanized cities (HUCs) have developed
sewerage systems.
Target 2: By 2020, approximately 43.6 million people have access to

septage treatment facilities and about 3.2 million will have access to
sewage treatment facilities.
Target 3: By 2020, PhP 26.3 billion has been invested in sanitation

improvement projects.
Target 4: By 2020, about 346 million kilograms of BOD is diverted from

the environment per year as a result of the sewerage and septage
management projects.

What are the effects of low or no access to sanitation?
• Economic Impacts of Sanitation in the Philippines

(2008)
• Economic costs in the order of US$ 1.4 billion,
equivalent to about 1.5% of GDP in 2005 and
translated to per capita losses of US$ 16.8 per year.
• The health impacts costs at about US$ 1 billion, 72%
of total economic costs.
• Economic impact on water resources accounted for
about 23% of the total costs.
• Other impacts are on other welfare impacts and

Sanitation Ladder as defined by the SDGs
Safely Managed
Use of improved facilities which are not shared with other households and
where excreta are safely disposed in situ or transported and treated off-site
Basic
Use of improved facilities which are not shared with other households
Limited
Use of improved facilities shared between two or more households
Unimproved
Use of pit latrines without a slab or platform, hanging latrines or bucket

Round-Table Discussion with the Private Sector for the Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply
11 April 2018 | Magellan Room, Discovery Suites, Ortigas
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Round-Table Discussion (RTD) with the Private Sector for the Formulation of the Philippine Water
Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP) was conducted on April 11, 2018 at the Magellan Room,
Discovery Suites, Ortigas Center Pasig. The one-day activity was led by the consortium of consultants
- Engineering and Development Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP), Tractebel Inc., and Orient
Integrated Development Consultants (OIDCI) - with the support of the World Bank who sponsored the
RTD.
The RTD with the Private Sector for the Formulation of the PWSSMP aims to (1) propose opportunities
for the Private Sector to participate water supply and sanitation (WSS) projects, (2) present the
availability and liquidity of finance markets, and discuss the bottlenecks to financing, and (3) explore
possible mechanisms to accelerate investments into the WSS sector.
A total of 58 participants from various national government agencies, private/business sectors, non-
government organizations (NGOs), and international agencies attended the RTD. The list of offices that
participated in the discussion is as follows:
Aboitiz Equity Ventures LGU Guarantee Corporation

AECOM Philippines Local Water Utilities Administration
Asian Development Bank Macroasia Properties
Balibago Waterworks System, Inc. Maynilad Water Academy
Cabanatuan City Water District Metropacific Water Investment Corporation
Department of Environment and Natural Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage

Department of Finance National Economic Development Authority
Department of Health Philippine Association of Water Districts
Department of Interior and Local Government Philippine Water Partnership
Department of Public Works and Highways Prime Water Infrastructure Corp.
Development Bank of the Philippines Public-Private Partnership Center
Japan International Cooperation Agency Suez Water Technologies & Solutions
Jolliville Group Water.org Philippines
Land Bank of the Philippines World Bank
Director Roderick Planta, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director of the
Infrastructure Staff, welcomed the participants. Engr. Noel Ortigas, PWSSMP Team Leader, gave an
overview about the RTD. Engr. Ortigas also gave a brief background on the project including updates
on its status. Certain topics on financing were discussed by The Consulting Team and representatives
from the different offices present.
The RTD was mainly a discussion on the conditions and constraints to financing and possible
mechanisms by which these can be eased out, concentrating more on options that can accelerate
investments in the WSS sector. As a summary, the facilitators, as well as the participants, were able to
identify certain problems in financing like gaps between investment requirements and available funding,
unsustainable services and operations by service providers, lack of regulatory offices, and more.
Proposals on investment incentive promotions and opportunities were also handed out; some of which
include the Viability Gap Funding (VGF), Blended Finance Facility (BFF) and Guarantee Mechanism,
the three being promoted by the World Bank.
Mr. Jose Serafin Tecson was the Master of Ceremonies.

I. OPENING SESSION
Various sectors involved in the management of water resources were invited to the Round Table
Discussion for the Private Sector for the Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation
Master Plan. Present were participants from the national government agencies, private sectors and
funding institutions. The program began with the preliminaries – a prayer followed by the singing of the
national anthem.
Mr. Jose Serafin Tecson, PWSSMP Principal Sanitation Specialist, hosted and facilitated the whole
activity.
1.1 Welcome Remarks
The Welcome Remarks was delivered by Engr. Roderick Planta, National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA) Director for Infrastructure Staff. He started his speech by
recognizing the presence of the different agencies and organizations especially those from the
private sector as well as the Consultants from the Joint Venture of Engineering and
Development Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP), Tractebel Inc., and Orient Integrated
Development Consultants (OIDCI). The World Bank was also given recognition for being the
sponsor of the RTD.
“We are going there.” Dir. Planta said as he laid emphasis on the closely approaching success
in the accomplishment of the project’s goals. He affirmed that even though it may still seem too
long to reach the targets, the progression of the project tasks shows a good sign that they are
getting closer and closer. The involvement and the support of the private sector were greatly
highlighted by the director, saying that good projects can definitely be achieved by leveraging
resources from these agencies and organizations.
Dir. Planta stressed that the strengthening of development partners and support groups is one
of the key strategies that they should be looking into. “These partners can be the spark in the
development of our programs and projects. We need our development partners.” He said as
he mentioned some ideas on how to move government actions. This RTD will serve as the
blueprint towards addressing major concerns in WSS with the involvement of the private sector.
As a conclusion to his speech, he requested all the participants to be very participative and pro-
active in the whole duration of the RTD to tally more inputs for the said project.
The message of the director was followed by the introduction of the RTD participants and members of
The Consulting Team by Mr. Tecson.
II. OVERVIEW OF THE ROUND-TABLE DISCUSSION WITH THE PRIVATE

SECTOR
An overview of the RTD with the Private Sector was shared by Mr. Noel Ortigas, PWSSMP Team
Leader. The RTD with the Private Sector is merely “a workshop to discuss viable options to accelerate
investments and the performance of the WSS sector of the Philippines.”
Specifically, the RTD aims to:
― Propose opportunities and promote incentives for the Private Sector to participate in Level I
and Level II water supply systems and sanitation projects,
― Present the availability and liquidity of commercial finance markets, and discuss the bottlenecks
to financing, and
― Explore possible mechanisms by which the government can ease these bottlenecks and to
accelerate investment into the WSS sector.
The RTD with the Private Sector will tackle on the following subjects:
3
― Sector Challenges to Achieving Universal Access,

― PPP Best Practices: The Metro Iloilo Water District (MIWD) Experience,
― Creating Viable Opportunities for Private Sector Investment, and
― Potential Mechanisms that could work in the Philippines.
Mr. Ortigas said that he hopes for very good discussions in every topic and pointed out that these
discussions would be a great factor in achieving 100% equitable access to WSS for all Filipinos.
III. BRIEF BACKGROUND OF THE PWSSMP

PWSSMP Team Leader Noel Ortigas gave an overview on the PWSSMP and updates on where the
project is now. He talked about the background of the project, the project objectives and updates on the
present status of the deliverables and regional consultative workshops.
The PWSSMP is an action plan to close the gap with corresponding investment and financing programs
to execute the Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap (PWSSR) and Philippine Sustainable
Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR) and put targets for water and sanitation into realization. The plan is
strongly anchored to the Philippine Development Plan 2022 which ensures that there is an increase in
the access of safe water supply to 95.16 percent and increase in access to basic sanitation to 97.46
percent. It is also in line with the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 which aims for universal and
equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and access to adequate and equitable sanitation
by the year 2030. The Philippine Government is highly committed to provide safe, clean water and
sanitation services for all through the formulation of PWSSMP. Anchoring on the Philippine / Regional
formulation of PWSSMP will take its shape to provide a great contribution to the global and national
objectives.
The objectives of the Formulation of the PWSSMP include the following:
― The PWSSMP shall set the direction towards:

- increasing percentage of households (HHs) with access to safe water supply to 95%
by 2022,
- increasing percentage of HHs with access to basic sanitation to 97% by 2022,
- universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water by 2030,
- universal access to adequate and equitable access to sanitation by 2030, and
- achieving targets under the Clean Water Act of 2004.
― Formulation of strategies, policy reforms, and identification of priority programs and projects for
short-, medium-, and long-term targets.
― Updating and integrating the PWSSR and PSSR into a single comprehensive Master Plan, and
linking such plan with all other initiatives in the WSS, including the Unified Financing Framework
(UFF).
― Capacity enhancement for the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) staff as
well as those from government agencies and institutions on water resources planning,
employing current and latest methodologies through training workshops and actual involvement
in the undertaking.
The formulation of the master plan covers various activities such as organization and planning, sector
assessment and regional visioning, strategy and operational plan formulation through the conduct of
information, dissemination and training. The project is expected to produce National Master Plan and
16 Regional Master Plans. Highlights of this master plan include the PWSS Vision, strategies, programs
and projects and operational action plans along with the investment requirements, time-line and
The project is already in its 7th month with the Inception Report and Sector Assessment Report done.
13 Regional Planning Workshops have already been conducted with the last 3 (Central Visayas Region,
4
SOCCKSARGEN and ARMM) to be held in the following weeks. The Regional Roadmaps are being
processed and finalized while the National Master Plan is now on its outlining stage.
IV. SECTOR CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVING UNIVERSAL ACCESS

Issues and constraints concerning the sector were discussed by Mr. Ramon Alikpala, PWSSMP
Institutional Specialist. These challenges were identified during and through the recent 13 regional
consultative workshops conducted in the different regions of the country. These are categorized into 6
areas namely, (1) Water Resources, (2) Institutions and Governance, (3) Regulation, (4) Financing and
Funding, (5) Management, and (6) Politics.
4.1 Water Resources
Problems on finding water sources have been mentioned in various regional workshops and
thus, making it one of the major concerns when it comes to water availability. Water is
unavailable in immediate vicinities. Water rights have been allocated to irrigation but are not
even utilized. Water quality is also a question in most regions because of the presence of poor
sanitation which all know greatly affects water. Sustainability of water is not attained because
available sources are drying up due to over-extraction or weather-sensitivity and climate
change.
In terms of access, topography is an issue. Upland communities cannot be reached and are
not being served. Some sources require tunnels to access and in the case of island
communities, water has to be transported.
Human habitation in watershed areas or new water sources is also a concern especially in
urban areas. Some other issues include speculators hoarding water permits and long periods
when processing water permits.
4.2 Institutions and Governance
The number one issue when it comes to governance is that there is no single body championing
WSS. There are multiple water institutions present in the country but neither of them are
involved in both water and sanitation. WSS is not a priority of local chief executives. In fact,
there’s no nation-wide program to implement and monitor wastewater / fecal sludge collection
and treatment tied to the status of water pollution. Institutional roles for sanitation issues are
not clearly defined.
The absence of regional offices for NWRB cites concerns for distorted coordination and
fragmented regulatory frameworks. Comprehensive participatory planning is lacking at the local
level. Poor compliance of the Clean Water Act is also a factor. SDGs are present but strategies
and holistic planning approaches are lacking.
Lack of staff and capacity of various WSS players are also some of the issues.
4.3 Regulation
There is a deficiency of data. Baseline data on WSS are insufficient. Agencies lack information
and monitoring systems on access and coverage. Monitoring of water quality is not regularly
and extensively undertaken. In most provinces, adequately-equipped water laboratories are
lacking, even water stations. There is minimal monitoring of sanitation facilities.
Water rates are too low in particular areas. LGUs have to subsidize the system and would either
mean an increase of tariffs or LGUs losing money which makes sense on how they could even
expand.
Regulatory oversight on joint venture (JV) arrangements is absent.
5
Other regulatory challenges include the lack of political will of the people, poor enforcement of
policies and laws (resource, economic, environment), and lack of incentives to encourage
compliance.
4.4 Financing and Funding
National funds for the maintenance, rehabilitation and expansion of water systems are
inadequate. LGUs find it difficult to comply with stringent requirements to access funds and
financing. Small water utilities are unable to improve their services because financing
institutions only lend money to bigger ones. Only a few takers of the National Sewerage and
Septage Management Program (NSSMP) have stepped up.
4.5 Management
The lack of staff with the appropriate technical knowledge on WSS and climate change issues
and resiliency entail unreliable projects and programs that may lead to unsuccessful results.
The poor attitude of many government employees on the improvement of WSS facilities and
services was also mentioned in the regional consultations.
Unregulated customer services were also brought up. Water utilities are not operating as
business enterprises. Water rates are too low, with no cost recovery. Unfamiliarity of new
technological advancements and lack of proper community engagement are some factors that
significantly affect services management.
4.6 Politics
Water is used as a political commodity. It is withheld in other LGUs / barangays.
Conflicts between the LGUs and water districts (WDs) have been one of the central subjects
when talking about political issues. Unqualified WD board members are being appointed by the
governor / mayor. Consumers are caught in the middle of the mess caused by clashes between
opposing governors / mayors / political parties.
LGU-run utilities are subsidized but cannot increase rates.
V. PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP BEST PRACTICES: THE METRO ILOILO

WATER DISTRICT EXPERIENCE
Ms. Evelyn Orda, PWSSMP Institutional Development Specialist, was tasked to share her experience
with the Metro Iloilo Water District (MIWD) about Public-Private Partnership (PPP). She laid down 4 key
messages to the private sector:
― PPP is an option for financing infrastructure projects in water.

― For PPP to be an effective tool for improving services and benefiting customers, it has to
operate under an environment where there is a strong and independent regulatory framework.
― The first PPP in the water district with benefit of a transaction review was successfully
undertaken and is under review of the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC).
― The government (NEDA) is aware of what needs to be done and is now looking at some of
these issues in the PWSSMP.
5.1 Financing Infrastructure Projects
PPPs are seen to be an option for financing water infrastructure projects. The gap between
required investment requirements and available funding and financing is so wide; and, PPP can
help in minimizing or even closing this gap. PPPs should lead to improved and sustainable
services and reasonable staff.
6
5.1.1 What is the situation?
A big part of the sector remains unorganized, underdeveloped, with no water utilities and
projects are not sustainable. Majority of the LGU-run water utilities are not set up and operated
as business enterprises and do not have technical and managerial capacities. Low performing
WDs have not expanded and/or remained to be financially struggling. Many WDs are non-
functional as to date. The absence of regulatory offices looking over water utilities that are
entering into PPP arrangements is the main issue. The lack of understanding of how PPP
transactions work and how unsolicited proposals should be reviewed makes water utilities
vulnerable to unscrupulous proposals.
Financing is limited / underutilized / not available. There is difficulty in accessing funds. The
total investment in the sector is really low and is not a priority. When it comes to funding,
agencies and organizations lack the coordination and lack the proper targeting towards areas
of greatest need, resulting to failure to progress toward full cost recovery of most water utilities.
Contributing to this issue is the unaffordability of customers in low income areas, and far-flung
and sparsely populated areas.
5.1.2 Where do we want to go?
By 2022, the sector should be able to achieve 95% access to safe water.
In order to realize this target, the following are some strategies that need to be considered:
― Unorganized / Underdeveloped Section

- Organize and develop the more than 50% section of the sector with the
creation of formal water utilities
- Strengthen LGU-led water utilities by establishing a dedicated agency that look
after these water utilities
― Developing Section
- Strengthen WDs institutionally and financially
- Strengthen and support the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) in its
role in the WD development
― Developed Section
- Enable more PPPs through the establishment of regulatory oversight and
appropriate PPP guidelines.
The following reforms should also be implemented:
― Organize the sector and institutionalize water provision by establishing more water
utilities
― In the medium term, establish and apex body for water sector policy and coordination
― Enable access to finance and review existing policies
― Improve private sector participation and put focus on regulation by pushing for an
economic regulatory body.
5.2 Regulatory Framework
An effective tool for improving services and benefiting customers is to have a strong and
independent regulatory framework that will ensure consumer protection and financial viability
for sustainable operations. It is a structure that sets limits to what the proponent can earn and
return on investment, define the service obligations of the service provider, ensure that
appropriate investments are only made to meet the agreed levels of service, and define the
framework for cost recovery and tariff setting.
Consumers’ interests are protected through sustainable and improved service at reasonable
tariffs. The interests of the government are also protected and is enabled to undertake its role
of ensuring water delivery sustainability. The private sector is not left empty-handed since its
7
interests are assured through a reasonable rate of return, thereby, ensuring a sustainable
operation.
The regulation of a PPP undertaking is highly critical during the transaction process. After
approval and prior to the implementation of regulatory systems, a regulatory regime should be
set. During implementation, everything has to be sustained.
5.3 Transaction Advisory Experience
The first PPP in the water district with benefit of a transaction review was successfully
undertaken and is under review of OGCC.
The Project: Unsolicited Joint Venture Proposal to the MIWD for Distribution Improvement
under a Concession Arrangement
The transaction advisory (TA) aims to assist the WDs to evaluate if the submitted proposal is
the most appropriate solution to improve service delivery and the bid that gives the best value
for money, resulting to the protection of customers through a rational level of tariff and
assurance of a reasonable return for the JV to sustain the WDs operation.
5.3.1 Review and Approval Process
As of March 31, 2018, the proposal is with the OGCC for final interview. The target is to
implement the contract from August 2018 until the end of the year.
The findings and observations on the process are discussed in this section.
5.3.1.1 On the Completeness and Timeliness of the Submission
Submission of incomplete proposals is the major reason for the slow progress in the
evaluation process. However, the proponent insisted that what they submitted constituted
a complete proposal.
A lot of issues on the regulatory and financial side were yet to be settled by the parties due
to the late submission of the requirements.
The timelines set by the TA team in several versions of the work plan were also not taken
seriously by the parties.
5.3.1.2 On the Timeline of the Process
The TA team defined the timeline for the entire process. However, the JV transaction from
the receipt of proposal (December 2014) by the MIWD took at least 28 months to negotiate
the contract instead of the original estimate of 9 months.
The proponent incurred delays in the submission of the feasibility study and other required
documents. There was a confusion on the part of the proponent on what requirements
should be submitted. Initially, they did not agree to the submission of a feasibility study that
includes financial and institutional aspects.
5.3.2 Due Diligence Findings and Observations
5.3.2.1 Legal, Institutional and Regulatory
Very draft project agreements were provided and were developed only during the
negotiation stage.
8
Existing employees are expected to resign and be absorbed by the JVC. There are no
existing guidelines on separation benefits as a result of the JV arrangement. A possible
conflict noted was the negotiation of the members of the JVSC with their future employer.
Regulation is by contract only. There are no clear regulatory guidelines for unsolicited JVs
for water districts. LWUA is currently not capable of reviewing the increasing number of JV
/ PPP proposals submitted by the private sector to WDs. It has no policies that will allow
private sector investment return requirement. Also, a “no-true up” principle for both CAPEX
and OPEX was proposed but was rejected for being disadvantageous to the government.
5.3.2.2 Technical
Varying costs of capital investments were proposed. The final submission during
negotiation was reduced after the review. The review resulted to defining appropriate and
needed investments only to meet the targets.
Unit prices used for major water supply facilities were relatively high as compared to
industry standards and hence, were revised. OPEX costs were on the high side.
Operating performance criteria and penalties were not included in the proposal but was
required by the TA. The level of investment and tariff should depend on the operating
performance criteria.
5.3.2.3 Financial and Economic Analysis
No financial model / projections in writing were submitted. The proposed tariff was reduced
significantly during the negotiation but is still being finalized. No market surveys were
conducted. Capitalization is minimal on the government side. Taxes are still subject to both
VAT and income tax and concession fees are yet to be determined.
There was no proposal on how much tariff will be imposed on the different user groups.
WDs will set these based on the approved average tariff by LWUA.
In summary, the Transaction Advisory Service / Independent Review has helped and is
expected to result to:
― Reasonable CAPEX and OPEX,

― Reasonable proposed tariffs,
― Provision of a “true up” approach for CAPEX and key OPEX items,
― Tariffs based on improvements of levels of service and not merely over time,
― Provision of a financial plan that will not dilute the government interests in the JVC,
― Exclusion of the non-approval of tariffs as a WD EOD, and
― Credibility to the results of the negotiation.
These results will headway to the protection of the interests of the consumers, the government
and the private sector as well.
5.4 Issues and Solutions
The government, specifically NEDA, is aware of what needs to be done and is now looking at
some of these issues in the PWSSMP.
With the growing number of WDs receiving unsolicited proposals, the following can / should be
done:
― Enable an independent review of WDs PPP transactions to ensure that customers’

rights are protected, and
― Develop applicable and customized guidelines for the review and approval of WDs PPP
transactions, referring to those that are already existing or developing new ones.
9
With thorough observation and analysis, the team has identified key findings on the (1)
regulation of PPP initiatives, (2) governance and transparency, (3) PPP modality, (4) process
and procedures, and (5) required documentation.
5.4.1 Regulation of PPP Initiatives
LWUA’s role as a regulator of unsolicited JV transactions involving WDs is not clear. There are
no guidelines that require review except for EO 68 (applies to BOT and similar undertaking).
Fully developed guidelines for WDs in handling PPP proposals are also lacking.
5.4.2 Governance and Transparency
There is a conflict of interests as members of the JVSC and the negotiating team are potential
employees of the proponent.
5.4.3 PPP Modality
Most opt to go with the unsolicited JV way as this does not require further review/approval if
the government’s contribution is less than Php150,000,000.00. Instead, only the WD Board’s
approval is compulsory.
5.4.4 Process and Procedures
As per JV guidelines, there is no specific timeline for the entire process. This may result to a
long processing period (28 months for MIWD and still not finished).
Some of the time allocation in the NEDA guidelines are not sufficient enough for certain tasks.
There are no clear guidelines on cost recovery and tariff setting methodology to be used.
5.4.5 Required Documentation
The required documents to be submitted in the case of unsolicited proposals are not clear.
Guidelines need to be more specific on what constitutes a proposal.
VI. CREATING VIABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT

(OPEN DISCUSSION)
Mr. Carlos Ani, Water.org Country Director, started the forum by stressing out the overlooked funding
for households to build toilets and get water connections. He suggests that financing should reach the
household level, mentioning that they have a goal on establishing a branch network over the country
but lacks the financial capacity. Ms. Elisea Gozun, PWSSMP Lead Institutional Specialist, said that it is
actually part of the project. Ms. Orda agreed by saying that the output-based aid (OBA) target is to
cover the cost of poor households who cannot afford connections. The UFF encourages financing to
flow in the water sector. To finance the costs for studies, commercial and development loans as well as
grants and credit guarantees are available.
Ms. Deng Orial of LGU Guarantee Corporation (LGUGC) mentioned that there was a recommendation
from the World Bank that LGUGC should be strengthened. Dir. Planta commented on this by suggesting
that the UFF principles should be adopted for a more comprehensive and standard approach. He also
said that the question always comes back to those entrusted with the resources. They all know that
they don’t have a water chart for the whole frame. Ms. Orial asked if there is a room for credit guarantee
in the UFF. The director then confirmed this. Ms. Orial also cited the presence of political conflicts and
hopes that LWUA will help in solving this issue.
Mr. Enrico R. Lanzanas, Jr., Manager of the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), mentioned
the problem on the bankability of financials of the borrowers. He affirmed the willingness of banks to
10
finance projects. Ms. Gozun pointed out that there is a policy of co-sharing between the national and
the local government, not only on the issues concerning water, but also with other environmental
aspects.
On the question on the status of the water bill and the critical inputs of the master plan for them to move
forward, Mr. Alikpala said that it is in the committee from the government. Beyond that, they have not
seen any development. He also gave emphasis on the question on what bill does water fall under,
knowing that there are too many bills present. The answer has always been an issue and there’s still a
long way to go.
Cabanatuan City Water District (CCWD) General Manager Mario Villasan shared one of his experiences
in the area of financing. He admitted that they had difficulties in increasing the water rate but then,
LWUA did not act on it. They opted for a JV, but water rates have not been approved. He also made
mention about the outdated performance-based bonus (PBB) of LWUA, the refusal of DBP of accepting
the plantilla, and LWUA questioning the presence of VAT. Ms. Gozun seconded this stating that these
have been issues common in the sector. Mr. Alikpala emphasized the difficulty on allowing better
financing and regulatory functions because of the confusion on who should be the one regulating the
water rates – LWUA or NWRB – and because of the separation of the financial from the organizational
functions of LWUA.
Dir. Planta said that if the government is willing to provide sources for feasibility studies, it is fine but
still tricky to capital assistance grants. In some JVs, proper value has not been determined by a third
party. He called out to the government the engagement of the private sector especially in crafting the
UFF.
The General Manager of the Philippine Water Districts Authority (PAWD), Mr. Carlos Santos Jr., raised
the idea that PPP is an option. Not all WDs have entered in PPPs; some others still want a traditional
way. It is very hard for WDs to get funds at this point. Mr. Santos also brought up the issue on the
difficulty experienced by WDs in acquiring funds. The presence of only 2 government financing
institutions (GFIs) also branches to the confusion of funding seekers since LWUA requires 3 quotations.
He also accentuated the need of having greater access to these funds. Ms. Rodora Gamboa of the
Maynilad Academy concurred with the idea of engaging in PPPs, knowing that there are private
corporations who want to involve themselves with PPPs but still have the dubiety on how to start and
proceed with the process. She then suggested that there should be a complete guideline for PPPs
involving the WDs.
A query about LGUs financing the 50% share (NSSMP) was also brought up by Mr. Alikpala. Mr. Carlos
Zamora, Engineer IV of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), said that there are still
no guidelines on how the private sector can put in funding if the LGU finances are not enough to comply
with the 50% share. Ms. Orial said that it’s up to the LGU to how it will come up with that 50% share.
So, theoretically, the private sector can contribute to that. Mr. Santos asked about who will be the owner
of the facility knowing that there is a 50/50 sharing. Mr. Alikpala confidently responded that it’s up to the
LGU or otherwise, internal arrangements could be set.
As mentioned by Atty. Nathaniel Santos of Philippine Water Partnership (PWP), the water supply sector
is fragmented. He recommended the integration of the operation of water facilities and come up with a
regulatory framework. Ms. Orda then agreed on this. In fact, it is part of the recommendation scheme.
They are looking on how they can really organize the sector. Atty. Santos also suggested that bulk
water tariffs and regulation should be looked upon.
Ms. Flerida Chan of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) stated that there are projects that
do not fall under the PPP framework of the Philippines. Too many players are present right now and
they do not even know who are and are not the good ones. She suggested that someone would feature
a PPP example outside the PPP framework of the country.
PPP Center Undersecretary and Executive Director Ferdinand Pecson shared what the PPP Center is
doing. They have been receiving requests for assistance especially from unsolicited proposals. One
assistance is to help them perform such evaluations. They also welcome outside consultations who can
provide assistance to LGUs and WDs. Whoever wins the bidding will be the one paying the cost of the
11
funds. He also confirmed that they do not have a list of private investors but instead, a list of transaction
advisers that could help.
Mr. Cary John Tumagan, Business Development Manager of Balibago Waterworks Systems, Inc.
(BWSI), said that there should be a move to establish a guideline for the water sector which could help
them in creating a levelled playing field with the private sector. According to him, in order to respond to
the need for treatment as they progress, they should teach concerned institutions on water
management. He asked if there is a move to review past executed JVs and improve on them. Dir. Planta
replied that technically, they can do it through the local government but they have a clear direction from
their principals to focus on the present PPP standards. Mr Alikpala also agreed. They actually want to
review them but there is little that they can do. So, honoring the present contracts is now the norm for
this. Usec. Pecson stressed that the value of money should be realized through transparent competitive
process. The prequalification process should be fair. What is important are the qualities of fairness,
quality and ensuring competitiveness. Mr. Santos of PAWD iterated that in order to compel WDs, they
should formulate guidelines to push them to provide programs and incentives. Otherwise, sanctions will
be charged.
Ms. Tanya Real of the Department of Finance (DOF) said that concerns could be addressed to the
LWUA Board through a written letter.
Mr. Michael White of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) also cited issues on the sector. He gave
emphasis on the importance of change which would greatly affect the country and also its development
partners. Not everyone now is still passionate in making a change. Most of it is because of political
issues. It is necessary on what may really be complex on the side of the partners.
VII. POTENTIAL MECHANISMS THAT COULD WORK IN THE PHILIPPINES

Possible mechanisms to strengthen private sector initiatives in the water sector were discussed by the
World Bank representatives Ms. Victoria Delmon and Ms. Aileen Castro, Senior Counsel and Water
Supply and Sanitation Specialist, respectively.
The presentation started with the acknowledgment of the presence of the current challenge which is on
financing the WSS sector to achieve SDGs, ensuring access to water and sanitation for all. The
relatively limited access to water and improved sanitation is an issue and should be acted upon.
The Unified Financing Framework (UFF), a proposed financing reform by the NEDA as studied by World
Bank, was introduced. The UFF is integrated with regulatory, institutional and financial reforms. It
promotes substantial grant allocation by the national government to leverage private sector finance and
to accelerate WSS service coverage nationwide.
The private sector can also bring financing, expertise in design optimization, technology and innovation,
and customer service if well harnessed and incentivized. This was really highlighted in view of the fact
that some consider customers as problems and not as assets and opportunities.
Another existing problem is the limited involvement of the private sector in JVs because of the public
sector being on both sides of the projects. It should be realized that there should be a unified regime
for all kinds of PPPs, JV or non-JV.
A question on how the sector can harness huge opportunities from commercial finance and expertise
through JVs was raised. Commercial financing is an important source of funding for the extensive
investments needed to achieve the SDGs. As of now, JV concessions are mainly for service level 3
water utilities and not much activity has been done for level 1 or 2 or for sanitation. There has been a
limited number of non-JV concessions for utilities in Manila, Clark and elsewhere. On bulk water supply
and wastewater treatment, there has also been limited activity in BOTs.
There are huge opportunities to benefit from commercial finance and expertise through JVs but are not
being harnessed properly. The private sector should be convinced to also push through with level 1 and
2, and sanitation JV concessions, and other forms of PPPs like non-JV concessions for utilities and bulk
12
water supply BOTs. The question is on how can or can the private sector be attracted to such
involvements.
7.1 Bottlenecks and Challenges
Stakeholders have identified and underscored bottlenecks that should be addressed, mainly
on the JV framework, process and monitoring:
― Project Preparation
- LGUs and WDs have a low capacity to develop or negotiate projects.
 Unsolicited proposals are a solution but can lead to one-sided projects
focusing on level 3 utilities in urbanized areas.
- PPP Center and LWUA have limited resources to provide support to LGUs and
WDs for reviewing proposals and transaction advisories.
- There is a lack of standardization of risk allocation for JV Structures.
― Process
- Transparency is limited on JV development.
- Open competition is limited from JVs.
 Mostly using USP framework (few competitive bids)
 Few private operators entering into JVs
― Performance Regime and Monitoring
- Clear performance indicators and targets for access are lacking.
- There is a lack of clear commitments to invest.
- Limited reporting requirements on JV performance are not recognized.
- Monitoring of JV performance is limited.
 If performance targets are present, there should be monitoring.
- There is a lack of benchmarking.
7.2 Liquidity Gaps
Liquidity gaps have also been known by the stakeholders:
― Most PSP projects are financed from internally generated cash against operator
balance sheets (for smaller loans).
― Larger operators are accessing commercial finance on reasonable terms
- 12-15 year tenors
- 5-7.5% interest rate
― Smaller private operators face constraints in accessing commercial finance unless a
personal collateral is put up.
― LGUGC provides a partial credit guarantee scheme
- Short term tenor of 1 year (renewable) or a long term of 10 years
- Relatively small loans (Php100,000,000.00)
- No longer available for MLEs as LGUGC has reached guaranteed cap for
MLEs but still open to LGUs and WDs.
7.3 Mechanisms to Reduce Bottlenecks
7.3.1 Project Preparation
Lead by NEDA / PPP Center, project preparation facilities for LGUs and WDs could be built on
the regional / provincial master plan. Units / Programs focused in TA to the water sector could
be developed.
Existing Philippine models that could be built on are suggested:
― ADB’s Asia Infrastructure Centre of Excellence (AICOE)

― ADB’s Asia Pacific Project Facility (AP3F)
- For project development and TA support to LGUs
- Costs reimbursable by winning bidder
― NWRB’s Accredited Technical Service Providers Program with Revolving Fund
13
- Supported by the World Bank and USAID

- For payment of $1,200.00 / month per accredited consultant for small water
utilities’ business plan preparation
- To mainly secure water permits
- Loan payable in 12 months by utility with 2 months grace period
Internationally, funds that cover all infrastructure sectors are available for orderly preparation
of PPPs and tend to be for large ticket projects.
Possible features include:
― Availability to LGUs and WDs for preparation of projects,

― Development of a pool of accredited transaction advisors,
― Development of simplified templates designed for feasibility analysis for smaller
projects,
― Financing sources for PPF:
- Analysis of existing facilities and how to increase uptake,
- Development of a revolving grant that gets repaid out of the projects on
successful completion of the project,
― Inclusion of a clear project review process for projects including unsolicited proposals,
and
― Inclusion of preparation and process requirements (e.g. strengthening of NEDA JV
guidelines, PPP Act).
7.3.2 Development and Procurement
JV guidelines / PPP Act should be updated.
On development, there should be a standardized documentation (feasibility templates, bidding

documents), review of project documents and risk allocation to understand the extent of public
party commitments.
There should also be a level playing field when it come to the procurement process, drawn on
international experience on how to manage unsolicited proposals, ensure transparency and
some competition.
Implementation requirements should include:
― Clear and measurable set of performance indicators (KPIs( applied to all projects,
― Reporting requirements (re: performance),
― Monitoring function and capacity building, and
― Publication and benchmarking of performance.
7.4 Addressing Liquidity Gaps
7.4.1 Viability Gap Funding
For the successful completion of projects, the World Bank has introduced the Viability Gap
Funding (VGF). VGF is an economic instrument with the motive of supporting projects which
come under public-private partnerships (PPP) model. Basically, it is a grant to support projects
that are economically justified but are not financially viable.
VGF is generally provided to those projects which have a long gestation period (time difference
between your investment and it earning profit for you) and when the user charges cannot be
increased to commercial levels.
VGF reduces the upfront capital costs of pro-poor private infrastructure investments by
providing grant funding at the time of financial close, which can be used during construction.
The VGF ‘gap’ is between the revenues needed to make a project commercially viable and the
14
revenues likely to be generated by user fees paid mostly by poor customers. Although the
economic benefits of a private investment project may be high, in situations where the incomes
of end users are low it may not be possible to collect sufficient user fees to cover costs. VGF is
designed to make projects that are economically viable over the long term, commercially viable
for investors. It helps mobilize private sector investment for development projects, while
ensuring that the private sector still shares in the risks of infrastructure delivery and operation.
All in all, it is a way of promoting the PPP model and distributing its money for building
infrastructure more efficiently.
It has been widely used by many countries including Mexico, Indonesia, India and Pakistan,
not only focusing on the water sector but also on other sectors as well. Philippines has been
offered in non-water deals but has not been taken up by bidders.
7.4.2 Blended Finance Facility
The Blended Finance Facility (BFF) aims to mitigate various financial risks associated with
investments in SMEs and agribusiness as well as pioneering investments across sectors to
unlock private sector opportunities that promote productivity improvements and innovation with
strong development impact.
The BFF builds on and expands IFC’s existing blended finance platforms and extends support
into new high-impact sectors.
With the BFF, an approach similar to PWRF where ODA is matched with FI loans could be
followed to extend tenor and lower interest rate. It could carry out due diligence and provide
some project development support to the WDs and LGUs through the management of a
financial intermediary or an implementing agency.
7.4.3 Guarantee Mechanism
The Guarantee Mechanism is mainly on bulk schemes. This is to provide confidence to

investors that the government will honor (its obligation) under a PPP contract or in respect of a
loan. It is particularly relevant when the government’s counterparty to the SME is a sub-
sovereign entity such as an LGU or WD.
There are 2 types of guarantee schemes:
― Direct Scheme
- Partial credit guarantee of debt service of loans to a private sector provider
which would typically cover several payment periods, designed to manage
bumps in liquidity.
― Indirect Scheme
- Prompt payment guarantee of availability payments under bulk water supply
agreements between LGUs / WDs and bulk water service providers, so
reducing the off-take risk.
These guarantee mechanisms have been provided by LGUGC to private providers in the past.
Now, partial credit guarantees are no longer available while prompt payment guarantees still
are. Private providers including SMEs have expressed interest in guarantee support to help
them raise commercial finance on better terms with reduced personal collateral.
Several IFIs such as the World Bank offer guarantee mechanisms, and governments such as
Indonesia and UK have put similar mechanisms in place (e.g. Umbalan, a large regional bulk
supply project in Indonesia, has benefited from a prompt payment guarantee).
7.5 Open Discussion
15
Mr. Villasan opened the forum by showing interest in the development of the possible options
presented by the World Bank. He said that if those will be available to any WD or private
provider, then those would be the answers. He cited some concerns in the sector and
encouraged all that they should marry with technology to minimize, if not to totally eliminate,
the present issues. Mr. Ortigas mentioned about the Automatic Tubig Machine (ATM).
Mr. Pecson commented on the VGF that it has to be tied with performance. VGF is not
something that is given for free. When applying for VGF, it has to be made sure that the
competition competes at the lowest VGF value. Let the market compete for the VGF. He also
said that PPP is a long term choice and it is a very important decision on deciding whether to
use PPP or go with the traditional kind. On bottlenecking, PPPs take a long time to develop.
He posed a question on how could they address project developments for PPPs and suggests
that they could go to the market faster if they use their funds to analyze the proposals instead
of improving their own. Ms. Delmon reacted on this saying that on project finance, it has to be
cost recovery reflective. She then asked about how comfortable they are in giving collaterals
against the revenue stream. Mr. Veneroso David of the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) said
that before they fund a borrower, they make sure that it is technically and financially viable.
Basically, they are looking on the cash flow first before doing anything. Ms. Anita Salayon of
DBP also stated about the borrower’s risk rating in their part.
Mr. Santos of PAWD showed interest and asked if it is possible for PAWD or WD to make those
kinds of models. Ms. Castro confirmed that these have not been done yet in the Philippines,
but they really welcome those who are interested. Ms. Orda agreed on this and said that this is
exactly what they are doing in the formulation of the master plan. Mr. Santos also asked if WD
guarantors are allowed by law. Ms. Castro clarified the misunderstanding and said that what
they meant was grants are being utilized by the WDs from the LGUGC or other GFIs. Thus,
these GFIs are recognized. Ms. Orial questioned if the VGF grant is an OBA. If it is, then, the
project should be implemented first before getting paid. Ms. Delmon explained this and said
that there is an option of having a hybrid of it and have tranches instead of a one-time payment,
as long as there is an evidence on the progress of the project and not using those tranches in
funding existing projects. It is really based on outputs.
A question on the VGF availability for sanitation was raised by Mr. Villasan, mentioning about
the issue on the unwillingness of some households to have their septage dislodged. Ms.
Delmon recognized the creativity on convincing those households, but the World Bank will still
be doing a lot of work especially in conducting a lot of series of cases about that issue. Mr. Ani
made mention of the difficulty experienced by very poor households in the construction of
chamber facilities because of the lack of finance. With regards to this issue, they have
developed low-cost models in order for those people to avail of these kinds of sanitation
facilities. Mr. Gerardo Mogol of the Department of Health mentioned certain costing for
sanitation facilities. Mr. Leodegario de Castro, PWSSMP Participation Specialist, affirmed that
costs in some areas are not applicable in certain areas especially in upland and island
communities.
According to Usec. Pecson, if the quality of water does not surpass the standards, then it is
subject to penalties. Ms. Delmon reaffirmed about the VGF being a performance based grant.
It is always against performance and is subject to a competitive process.
Ms. Orial said that they do not have required net profit margins. For the guarantee income fee,
it should cover their capital expenses. Their partner banks can give an interest rate of 4%
floaters per annum. Financing of LWUA depends on the water district category.

VIII. CLOSING AND SYNTHESIS

Team Leader Noel Ortigas gave his closing speech sharing the 3 core elements he has lined with the
RTD and the WSS sector itself:
― Sustainability
- It has to be planned, implemented and sustained. Climate change is a reality, and
supply also diminishes.
― Awareness
- Not all planners encountered know the difference between sewer and septage, and
some other terms for WSS. Some even do not know what water supply and sanitation
are.
― Fragmented WSS Sector
- Fragments only apply to solids, not to liquids. Liquids are nearly incompressible fluids
that conform to the shape of its container. Liquids have to move. If not, they become
stagnant. Then, water quality becomes poor.
He thanked and congratulated the participants for attending and actively participating in the RTD. He
then ended his message by encouraging all to move forward and work hard to succeed against the
challenges in the sector and achieve the goal of having a universal access to both safe water and
sanitation. In spite of how difficult or diverse the problems they are or will still be facing, there is still a
unifying principle that everyone should look at, and that is ability to affect lives and how greatly each
one could affect them.

Inter-Agency Meeting on Sanitation Master Plan
13 April 2018 | Department of Health Central Office, Manila
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Inter-Agency Meeting for Developing the Philippine Sanitation Master Plan as part of the
Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP) was conducted on
April 13, 2018 at the Department of Health Central Office in Tayuman, Manila. The one-day activity
was led by the representative of the PWSSMP consultants, Mr. Jose Serafin “Jay”Tecson partnered
with the Department of Health.
The Inter-Agency Meeting for Developing the Philippine Sanitation Master Plan aims to (1) gather
project proposals, recommendations and strategies from the invited agencies, (2) present the residing
issues concerning the future of the sector in the country, and (3) explore possible mechanisms to
achieve the sector goals.
A total of 27 participants from various national government agencies and private/business sector
agencies attended the meeting. The list of offices that participated in the discussion is as follows:
Climate Change Commission-Office (CCC)

Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG)
Department of Health (DOH)
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)
Disease Prevention and Control Bureau (DPCB)
Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS)
Water.Org
World Bank
The meeting was mainly a discussion on the conditions and constraints to financing and possible
investments in the sector. As a summary, the participants, were able to identify certain problems in
plan implementation and financing like gaps between investment requirements and available funding,
unsustainable services by service providers, lack of regulatory offices, and more.

II. PWSSMP BACKGROUND AND WORKSHOP PROGRAM, OBJECTIVES, AND

PLANNED OUTPUTS
The PWSSMP is an action plan to close the gap with corresponding investment and financing
programs to execute the Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap (PWSSR) and Philippine
Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR) and put targets for water and sanitation into realization. The
plan is strongly anchored to the Philippine Development Plan 2022 which ensures that there is an
increase in the access of safe water supply to 95.16 percent and increase in access to basic
sanitation to 97.46 percent. It is also in line with the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 which aims
for universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and access to adequate and
equitable sanitation by the year 2030. The Philippine Government is highly committed to provide safe,
clean water and sanitation services for all through the formulation of PWSSMP. Anchoring on the
Philippine / Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 and the Clean Water Act of 2004 as well as the
SDG 2030, the formulation of PWSSMP will take its shape to provide a great contribution to the global
and national objectives.

- increasing percentage of households (HHs) with access to safe water supply to 95%
by 2022,
― Formulation of strategies, policy reforms, and identification of priority programs and projects
for short-, medium-, and long-term targets.
― Updating and integrating the PWSSR and PSSR into a single comprehensive Master Plan,
and linking such plan with all other initiatives in the WSS, including the Unified Financing
Framework (UFF).
― Capacity enhancement for the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) staff as
well as those from government agencies and institutions on water resources planning,
employing current and latest methodologies through training workshops and actual
involvement in the undertaking.
The formulation of the master plan covers various activities such as organization and planning, sector
assessment and regional visioning, strategy and operational plan formulation through the conduct of
information, dissemination and training. The project is expected to produce National Master Plan and
16 Regional Master Plans. Highlights of this master plan include e: PWSS Vision, strategies,
programs and projects and operational action plans along with the investment requirements, time-line
and implementation arrangements.
th
The project is already in its 7 month with the Inception Report and Sector Assessment Report done.
15 Regional Planning Workshops have already been conducted with the last 1 (ARMM) to be held in
the following weeks. The Regional Roadmaps are being processed and finalized while the National
Master Plan is now on its outlining stage.

III. DEVELOPING THE CITY/MUNICIPAL/LOCAL SUSTAINABLE SANITATION

PLAN/SANITATION BUSINESS PLAN
3.1 DOH Local Sustainable Sanitation Plan

Engr. Catherine Joaquin
Environmental and Sanitary Engineer, DOH
Ms. Catherine Joaquin presented the portion of DOH for sanitation. According to their definition of
Sanitation, it promotes hygiene conditions relating to public health, especially the provision of
clean drinking water and adequate sewage disposal.
Ms. Joaquin explained that they followed a framework in sanitation which is the five functional
groups, namely: User Interface, Collection and Storage, Conveyance, (Semi-) Centralized
Treatment and the Reuse and Disposal. Because of the 5 year plan they came up with an End to
End Solution, Ms. Joaquin showed the current situation and the proposed approach in regarding
the five functional groups. While the DOH-ERDD had 5 year Sanitation Chain Services they have
also a Timeline & Budget for the Environmental Sanitation Program including the activities. Mr.
Mogul mentioned that the strategy was assist and given by World Bank all the activities where
anchored in the 8 strategies. Ms. Joaquin emphasized that the safely managed Sanitation System
protects people from exposure to hazard at all steps of the sanitation chain.
The National Sustainable Sanitation Plan (NSSP) were all of our Local Sanitation Plan anchored
she said also that it’s difficult to start the program but they have ways on how the program will
implement. Lack of funding was their problem but with the help of NEDA the partners recognized
the importance of sanitation facilities. She also discussed The Overarching Framework for
Sanitation Programs where Global (Sustainable Development Goals) to National the DOH really
has the authority to mandate the Local Sanitation because the Code sanitation of the Philippines
where in them. In clean water act it indicates that HUC’s the DPWH have the mandate and the
Non- HUC’s the septage management will employed by DOH. In the rollout of LSSP they use
guidebooks (Guidebook for a Sustainable Sanitation Baseline Study, and the Guidebook for a
Local Sustainable Sanitation Strategy). Also in the year 2010 the Framework for the Sanitation
Programs started but the rollout started in the year 2016 where the 3 agencies lead (DOH, DENR,
and DPWH).
― DOH – Sustainable Sanitation Promotion Program, Disease Prevention and Control

Program for STH and diarrheal diseases, Zero Open defecation program, water supply
protection program.
― DENR – Water quality Management area program, water pollution and control program
― DOH, DENR and DPWH – Sewerage and Septage Management Program (marketing
plan)(Centralized / Decentralized) , Monitoring and Evaluation for Sustainable Sanitation
The DOH started to conduct regarding the LSSP, Ms. Joaquin show an example of San
Fernando, Bukidnon. The good things in LSSP is that it is not a spoon feeding program but
instead DOH helps the LGU’s to identify the current sanitation issues on how they are going to
address it. And The DOH also had a Conduction of Regional Roll-outs because of the TOT
program they request for roll-outs in the municipality levels. Last in the Environmental Sanitation
if the five functional groups were given a chance to have a fund Ms. Joaquin think that SDG 6 was
not the only one can address also the SDG #13 the Climate Change Action she added if we can
address all of that we can now have an inventory for greenhouse gases effect that regenerate
from the treatment.
Discussion Points:
Mr. Karl Galing (World Bank)—was able to work with DOH for a long time, commented on the
presentation. According to his assessment, the mandate of DOH is focused more on policy
development to set operation standards for the regional offices in implementing DOH programs in
the LGUs, promotion of different programs, and provision of technical assistance to help LGU’s
implement the programs with the regional counterparts. If DOH was to take over the sanitation
4
program, it would require a big shift on the part of DOH specifically on human resources, capacity
development for the workers and management of fund resources. DOH should be realistic on the
targeted objectives for it would require them a great responsibility on the implementation of
sanitation programs. The sanitation program is considered as a big challenge on the part of DOH
as mentioned by Mr. Gerardo Mogol (DOH), and admitted that some programs have not been
implemented effectively because sanitation had not been prioritized at the beginning of
devolution. However, among the government institutions in the country, DOH is still more capable
than any other departments. With the kind of mandate DOH has, Mr. Mogol recognized that they
need to plan ahead, prepare strategies and hire competitive specialists. DOH needed to conduct
the simultaneous meeting in order to explain to other government and private agencies the help
they may need in implementing the program.
In addition, Mr. Galing mentioned during the transition from a soft implementing agency to a real
implementing agency with a national sanitation program, the approach that DOH should deal with
is to accept help from other agencies. Another suggestion was to strengthen the role of the
regional counterparts of DOH for better execution of the program. Mr. Mogol answered that the
scheme have been implemented in other regions and gather feedbacks with the regions’
experience, then improve and adopt the mechanism if necessary.
Ms. Dolores Hipolito (DPWH) agreed with the points discussed by Mr. Galing. She also added
that the management behind DOH is governed by skilled doctors and supported by sanitary
engineers and other technical staff. With the said paradigm, Ms. Hipolito has concluded that the
highest position of a staff unentitled as ‘doctor’ can attain is the Division Chief position only which
results to turnover rates of skilled employees. Thus, she suggested changing the culture by
opening the higher level positions to other staff that are capable of managing the programs of the
department of health in the future. Additionally, she mentioned to include in the master plan a
transition chapter which tackles about working on the current situation the country is facing and
how DOH will achieve its goals.
Moreover, Mr. Galing suggested that the Inter-Agency Committee on Environmental Health
(IACEH) to create a specific technical working group on sanitation to activate the committee for its
purpose on programming and implementation. Ms. Hipolito, as a member of IACEH, added that
they still conduct meetings regularly discussing health and highlights of the current environmental
issue.
Mr. Carlos Zamora (DPWH) questioned whether the survey of septic tank database should be
done by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Ms. Hipolito explained that PSA has a different
mode of data collection, due to conflicting terms (e.g. improved defecation, septage). She
expounded that the consistency of terms with the PSA and agencies involved will also create an
impact on the operation. Mr. Zamora expressed that consistency of the database is very
important. In addition, according to Mr. Mogol, LGUs are obliged to do research activities and tally
the numbers (e.g. household d with de sludge able materials) when they are in the process of
generating project as well in making ordinances, while the role of DOH would be to train the LGUs
on data gathering.
Still regarding with the data collection, Ms. Elaine Borijon (CCC-CCO) mentioned that while there
are different methods of gathering data, it is not clear on how the data of Local Sustainable
Sanitation Plans (LSSPs) are incorporated and updated with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(CLUP)—which is considered as the mother document at the LGU level. She suggests to have
the relationship of LSSPs and CLUPs be shown in the master plan.
Ms. Alexis Manlangit (MWSS) wanted to know whether there are existing enforcement strategies;
she proposed that DOH should provide incentives for complying LGUs with outstanding plans and
should also enforce penalties for the noncomplying LGUs. Mr. Mogol explains that one of the
requirements in order to avail project funding is the approved LSSP; the punishment that DOH
can impose is the ‘No LSSP, No Project Funding’ manner and also apply penalties under the
Clean Water Act (R.A. 9275). Ms. Hipolito added that with the establishment of the said
ordinances, DOH and other agencies can create a more realistic indicators or outcome-
performance of the LGUs.
5
Ms. Reine Reyes (DILG) asked for the data for implementation of the LSSP and how many have
done the LSSP. Per Mr. Mogol, they follow the DOH protocol which is to train first the LGUs. DOH
managed to start training the LGUs on the last two quarters of 2016 with minimal budget—
catering a number of provinces to conduct LSSP. While as of now, there have not been official
submissions and approved LSSPs yet.
Mr. Tecson clarified with LWUA the requirements, specifically the Business Plan of water districts
for project funding. According to Ms. Jessielen Catapang, there are 150 out of the 421 Water
Districts (WDs) nationwide with business plans. She explained that the contents of the business
plan focuses on the non-revenue water, projections of sources, source development, water quality
improvement projects, targets (level 3), etc.; a module is provided in the course of developing the
plan. Ms. Catapang also mentioned that they have yet to include components on sanitation since
the plan focuses more on the quality of water supply. Nevertheless, water districts with no
submissions up till now may attach sanitation plans upon submitting their business plans.
3.2 DILG City/Municipal Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Plan

Ms. Reine Borja Reyes
Assistant Project Manager, DILG
Ms. Reine Borja Reyes discussed the Overview of the iWaSH Results Based on Sector Planning
Process. By starting with the Outline, she explained that the iWaSH Municipal Water Supply,
Sewerage and Sanitation Sector Plan come from MDGF Model which defines LGU’s targets for
water supply and sanitation based on the Human Rights and principles but in the end of the day it
will ensured the water should be affordable, accessible, and other sanitation services all in
participatory levels. It provides the LGU’s direction towards increasing water supply, sanitation
and hygiene coverage supported by investments. So the Basis for planning process should
access first the current situation of the water supply, sanitation and hygiene sector where all the
base planning happens or guiding rules that will be integrated in the planning process. The
coverage years of the planning horizon was 5 years medium term 2020 and long term 2025.
Ms. Reyes also discussed the Approach to iWaSH Sector Planning there are Key Planning
Principles that can used in emphasizing on integrated system planning but overall it was
anchored in the MDFG Model. When the MW4SMP were formulated it was very technical. DILG
encouraged the LGU to adopt it for the implementation of the plan with the iWaSH Programs link
to Salintubig, BUB & Other Programs. There are five tools which discussed about the Overview of
the Results Based Integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (iWaSH) Planning Tools.
The First is the Theory of Change which means a visual representation of how the intervention is
expected to lead to the outcomes and impacts that need funds to achieve, Second is the Results
and Resources Framework which means a method to plot out clarify outcomes, outputs, targets,
activities, responsible parties and resources that lead to a results and resources guide to actual
programmed implementation that has a detailed every year (5-10 years), Third is the Results-
based M&E that managing for development results involves using information to make better
decisions and steer development efforts toward clearly defined goals and to sustained
improvement in the lives of people. Fourth is the Performance M&E Framework were it is a
strategic approach to management, which equips leaders, managers, employees and
stakeholders a various levels with a set of tools and techniques to regularly plan. Lastly, the Risk
Analysis that defined the review of the risk associated with a particular event or action and the
process of defining agencies posed by potential and natural and human- caused adverse events.
Discussion Points:
Mr. Mogol shared that DOH have conducted LSSP in different regions and provinces, along with
that, DILG have also a platform almost the same as the LSSP which is widely known as the
iWASH program. Both agencies have come up with identical composition of teams, programs,
processes, and targets that aim only one result—address the sanitation problems of the country.
Although both platforms of DOH and DILG may end up with good results, this causes confusion
on the part of LGUs due to different demands required by the government agencies. DOH as the
6
principal agency to lead the Sanitation Sector of the PWSSMP project of NEDA, Mr. Mogol
wanted to clarify how they can merge with DILG to present a single approach to the LGUs to
diminish the confusions. Ms. Fe Banluta (DILG) explained that DILG presented what iWASH is all
about and how they can harmonize the efforts of DOH and DILG which can be adaptably
applicable to the local level. Mutually, LSSP and iWASH are considered as sectoral plans; in
relation to the mother plan of LGUs known as the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), both
programs equally take part in the CDP.
According to Mr. Jay Tecson, DILG have matured programs—due that these programs have gone
through a lot of revisions, consultations, it is also diversified, and the forte of DILG which is the
“governance” partakes as a big component of their program; these components support
sustainability.
3.3 The Local Sustainable Sanitation Plan (LSSP)

Engr. Jose Serafin Tecson
Principal Sanitation Engineer, PWSSMP
On behalf of NEDA PWSSMP team, Mr. Jay Tecson led the formulation of the features of the
LSSP with the support of the present agencies to enhance the sanitation programs that will meet
the 2022 PDP Goals (97% improved sanitation) and 2030 SDG Goals (100% improved sanitation)
while making an allowance for sustainability. Sustainability was defined as being able to meet the
current needs without compromising the ability of the future to meet the needs of the stakeholders
of the country.
Listed below are the constructed basic features of an LSSP:
1) Evidence-based Risks / Statistics

2) Completion Sanitation BSP/SMP/SP (Interventions)
3) It should be Integrated with Water Supply
4) Use of IWRM principles
5) Sustainability
6) Plan with Investment Programs with realistic Targets.
7) All sources of Domestic wastewater / inclusive (inclusion)
8) Emergencies/CCA-DRRM
9) Cost for Capacity Development
10) Results-based
11) M&E
12) Future Scenarios
13) Finance Plan
14) Institutions (Governance & Policy)
15) Inclusions (different stakeholders)
The features mentioned above were generated in its simplicity form to easily undertake and with
flexibility in order for the LGUs to generate their plans and programs according to the state of their
situation, such that it can be applicable to the Muslim Mindanao region (ranked as the bottom
dweller to access sanitation) or CALABARZON (ranked as top dweller).

IV. BASIC SANITATION PROGRAM
4.1 How to Reach Universal Access to Basic Sanitation

Mr. Carlos Ani
Country Director, Water.Org
The Country Director of Water.Org, Mr. Carlos Ani gave some information about the company and
its programs. Water.Org is an international nonprofit organization that pioneers market-driven
financial solutions to the global water and sanitation crisis. That approach more in economic
terms focusing on financing of households considered the sustainable solutions. Based on the
analysis of third party consultant they discovered that MFI’s are very profitable and the fact is very
high and they can’t really cope in partners because it’s difficult to have WASH loan.
Mr. Ani has an opinion regarding what is needed to achieve 97% access to basic sanitation in the
Philippines. They need to educate the indigenous people about bad effects of open defecation
because in them the open defecation is normal it becomes a tradition to them in many
generations. Also, provide a financing for the poor households for the water connections, piping
and installations etc. He also clarify that it’s needed to provide a subsidies for indigent and very
poor households because some of the poor households didn’t participate in micro financing due to
lack of fund and knowledge. Also It’s important to promote a local toilets technology because the
standard one toilet is much expensive than the local toilet. Last, mandates all the LGU’s and
Water Utilities to promote the basic sanitation which Water.Org are currently implementing. While
in Basic Sanitation every house has their own toilet facility that can finance in different ways.
Mr. Ani presented a proposal to GOP on how to achieve 97% access to basic sanitation by
having a two components under the proposal one is to support and help build a nationwide
network of private sector MFI’s, cooperatives and rural banks that will offer retail WASH financing
and Wholesale financing mechanism to support MFI’s. But more on that the proposal focus on
Support and build a nationwide network of MFI’s, coops and rural banks offering retail loans for
WASH the Water.Org and DOH should collaborate together to build support a network of 60
MFI’s. The only road they can offer is to build capacities with DOH that provide performance
based incentives to promote actual outputs on the ground and the capability of Water.Org to
monitor performance of all MFI’s. The other component is in need to provide affordable wholesale
financing for WASH MFI’s, coops and rural banks that need a support from the government to
help the MFI’s fund in rural areas and different cities . Mr. Ani suggests that the GOP will
establish a wholesale financing for MFI’s, WSS on lending or National Household Sanitation
Financing program which can tap a government bank to manage professionally the wholesale
WSS fund. The proposals has a supporting projects also to attain 97% access this was to
intensify BCC work all over the country by the DOH to have a stronger push in poor provinces
with a high open defecation because people need to be educated and DOH shall work with the
LGU’s and Local NGO’s. The purpose of the network is to educate as many poor people as
possible nationwide about dangers of Open Defecation which LGU’s can’t do it alone. The DSWD
has a role to provide subsidies to the indigent families such as reviving and having the Sanitation
voucher project from the DOH / UNICEF for very poor household and encourage CCT families to
save up for a toilet. In Promoting low- cost toilet technologies DOH and the DILG should work
together to enable LGU’s to teach and promote low- cost toilet models and technologies to poor
households so that they can build their own toilets while Water utilities also should be encouraged
too to promote low cost toilet models too.
The last supporting project is to pass a national law requiring LGU’s and Water Utilities is to
promote basic sanitation to mandates them to cooperate with national governments
implementing basic sanitation programs and the law will require all provinces and LGU’s to pass
ordinances to have their own sanitary toilets. By the end of the discussion Mr. Ani suggests that
“partnership” is the key to solve this problem.

Discussion Points:
Mr. Tecson specified that the Basic Sanitation Program will be led by DOH but it does not mean
that DOH will be the only implementing agency; other agencies have also potentials in doing so
according to the presentation of Water.Org.
The concern of DOH was the conformity with the high-end technologies developed by Water.Org.
Also, if there will be closed defecation but the discharging will be done directly to the environment,
the effect will still expose the community to hazards. Mr. Mogol asked if there are equivalent
efficient facilities that are manageable to address the problem of open defecation, at the same
time prevent hazards and provide protection to the environment.
Mr. Mogol expounded that on this Sanitation project, the responsible agencies should prepare the
LGUs with the different technologies they are about to handle in their future operations on local
septage management programs down to the barangay level. Mr. Ani clarified that the platform
indicated in their programs are subjected to change as the project go along the way for there will
be necessary changes depending on the situations of different LGUs. He also suggested meeting
with the DOH for another time so Water.Org consultants can present much-detailed proposals
(e.g. 10 low-cost toilets) it includes the cost, substructures, materials, topography or type of soil
suitable.
World Bank provided technical assistance to DOH as per the request of the latter in order to aim
standardization of basic latrines due that whether a local area is considered open defecation-free
or Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) but if the constructed toilets are substandard; with
this, World Bank have developed a manual that adheres to the SDG, it is a guide for the poor
community to comply with the existing standards to safely managed sanitation.
V. PROPOSED CONCEPTS AND STRATEGIES TO BE ADOPTED IN THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF SANITATION (SEPTAGE MANAGEMENT)
PROGRAMS UNDER THE PWSSMP
Mr. Jay Tecson respectively discussed a comprehensive presentation about the concepts,
approaches and strategies that can be used for the development of a sustainable water supply and
sanitation project. Also He gave a brief introduction on the basic information about water and water
development and discussed about the water cycle, watersheds, and many other topics about water.
One point that he gave emphasis on was the water supply system and expounded the idea that there
are many water sources could utilize.
Concepts on water supply were also discussed he clarified the definitions and inclusions for each
level of service. Plus, topics on water demand, potential water sources, water treatment, sustainable
water supply system requirements, planning processes, and approaches on water supply
development were tackled.
Water supply development practices were introduced:

― River Basin Approach,
― Bulk Water Supply,
― Management Contract,
― Performance Contracting,
― Water Demand Management,
― Rainwater Harvesting,
― Twinning, and
― Ring-fencing.
On the basic information about sanitation development, he discussed about the present situation of
sanitation in the Philippines. He also included in his discussion the difference between water supply
and sanitation. Some topics like sanitation intervention, SDGs, sanitation access, possible
technologies and sanitation treatment were briefly discussed.

Discussion Points:
Mr. Karl Galing ask over the DILG, if how’s the financial modality and if it’s integrated or make the
modality achieve in the DILG’s finance within the project management plan.
Ms. Fe answered that in the year 2012 and 2018 the funds of SALINTUBIG and AM were in the
DILG as of now which they guarded every time and every year. Also this is the year where DILG
have a MOA with the LGU’s which results the issues about overspending because they can’t
make public the fund if there is no MOA in issues. But in 2018 of this year Mr. Lacson asked why
is modality of SALINTUBIG dissimilar to AM if they are equally water programs under the Local
Government Support Fund (LGSF) which anticipated for LGU’s and managed by DBM. In addition
to this 2018 beyond it is direct downloaded to LGU's that provide and persuade the governance
reform. The LGU also be supposed to be a passer of GFA, VFN and the functionality of Local
Development Council. Furthermore if they are not competent the DILG will not give the approval t
and will not access also the funds from the LGSF of DBM. In the year 2019 the projects came
from the sectoral plan which the plans were from municipality will put in the Local Development
Plan of the LGU and they will bring it in the Regional Development Council and for those who will
not be funded by the LDIP because it will come in the 20% of the other resources and this will
bring up to the National Agencies base in MBN 129 which issued by the DBM that have 6 priority
projects that consolidate by the RDC endorsements from LDIP. And for 2019 the 1.2 trillion
projects need to be funded so that it will be in National which was endorsed by RDC. The 14.5
billion will be in water supply and nothing for water sanitation then the level 3 will be for LWUA
were categorize in 332 and the remaining goes to AM. In the 332 which come from the NAPC
they need all to pass the three governance report that needs to be shovel ready of DBM that
means it should be implementable by the year 2019. She added also that the filtering was
10
complicated due to diminutive economic area unlike before the 300 billion will be divided from the
National Agencies so that It will be determined particularly from the LGU’s that in the past years
they are abundance in funds and which they are not doing right now it will be hard for them in the
performance based because in 2019 the cash budgeting will be in one year cash programming
that means the agencies now are conscious to asked for funds due they can’t dispersed the funds
properly.
Ms. Babes said that it’s not the main problem and if you cannot pay the contract all will be
suspended and the payment for this will be in the following year. The cash were already in the
agencies and it needs to ask for a special budget of DBM for that year because if they will not
process the application for that year the project will be putting to death.
Mr. Jay said that the SALINTUBIG will be the mentor of DOH. While Mr. Mogul answered that in a
province it should have a target percentage for those who will received a basic sanitation because
it’s not counted as individual and the implementation was depend on when will be approve by
multi year.
Mr. Karl Galing asked if the Master Plan has a section about Implementation even though it’s not
that detailed already the importance is it should not complex like that in the funding mechanism.
Ms. Fe added that one of the issue in UFF was presented by NEDA is the DILG and LWUA
which come up that there are 800 plus Water Districts including the 500 operational and the rest
is non operational that means some of the LGU don’t get assistance with water districts. She
added also that they focus more on the LGU’s who doesn’t have a water districts to stay away
from it but there is a uncertainty on how they will reach out to those water districts in a rural
barangay area because it’s not feasible so the VGF will go into and construct a bulk water. She
hoped that all the involve there had a chance to give a targets to achieve the SDG
Mr. Jay said that in the Master Plan it will tell the targets and general strategies especially in
sanitation that the DOH was assigned.
Mr. Mogul said there is a guide whom they follow and it has no problem in the implementation of
the construction. His concerned was the preparation on how the funds will disperse and how is
the mechanism if it will be in the LGU.
Ms. Fe added regarding on what Mr. Karl mentioned about Monitoring and Evaluation that
address the anti-corruption there is no involvement in the CSO as the third party. Maybe they
need to include the roles of the CSO to ensure the water and sanitation program.
Mr. Karl reacted on Monitoring and Evaluation that it should be appropriate. While in the Citizen
Engagement there is more on feedback that can be a regressive mechanism based in the
consumer’s feedback regarding on the service providers. Also they try to define the capacity
development, issues & needs of agencies and for those they haven’t already talked about is more
on Business Model, the Implementation of Business Model doing the Capacity Development. He
added one thing Mr. Karl sees was there is no perfect model although the RHUBS wasn’t that
perfect the point is its not doing in overnight. The real point they need watched the operational
capacity model that Mr. Karl thinks that it needs to localize not centralized which the agencies
avoided because they don’t want them to be a trainees of their own programs.
Mr. Jay said to DILG that they need to provide assistance in provincial level. The DILG also has a
proposal to provide technical assistance in the province. The role of the province is to regulate all
the performance, help the municipalities to issuance of water permits, feasibility studies and
detailed design because the PEO was equipped. Then the PHO also equipped because in the
water quality sampling they can help to the municipalities. They also should have the Date Based
Management to get the data’s in the Water Districts.
Mr. Mogul said that there’s also an instances because the water districts doesn’t want to under in
the Local government so the local health can’t monitor.
11
Ms. Fe said one of their targets in the Regional Level is they want the LWUA to cooperate with
them to help others regarding the water supply and sanitation.
Mr. Karl emphasized that in the training it should have a gap in implementation on what happen
because it’s continuous and by the time they finished the training the participants who attend
should practice on what they learned to expand their knowledge and encouraged everyone to be
Hands on in the Training.

RTD with Visayas and Mindanao
Water Districts
Roundtable Discussion with Water Districts – Visayas, Mindanao
May 29, 2018
Q Citypark Hotel, General Santos City
Participants:
There were 30 participants, 27 of whom are from water districts (WDs) and 3 are from PAWD.
The participants are General Managers from 23 small water districts and from General Santos
City Water District. The PWSSMP team was represented by the Team Leader, Institutional
Specialists, Water and Sanitation Specialists, Participation Specialist, and support staff.
Welcome Remarks
Mr. Arn Gellangarin – General Manager, General Santos Water District
GM Arn Gellangarin started off with a greeting of Magandang GenSan and welcomed all
participants to the meeting. He reminded everyone that the reason they were in the meeting
together was because of the development of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master
Plan. The event is made more important because of a water crisis which could lead to more
expensive water. For the future, it is timely to conduct a master plan for the projected water
crisis.
General Santos City has plenty of groundwater but there are some areas where water is
yellowish. PWRF conducted a feasibility study for septage in 2010-2011. JICA had a grant of
Php 500m for a sewerage system but it was not accepted by the city. That project went to
Saranggani.
General Santos City Water District has an agreement with the city government and Baliwag
Water District regarding a twinning arrangement with respect to a establishment of a Septage
Treatment Plant. The water district has a lot already available to build the septage treatment
plant but they will need money to build the structure.
Thank you and good morning.
(Note: Explanation from Ms. Bebet Gozun regarding the Php 500 m grant to build a sewerage
system. It was during her term as the Secretary of DENR when this offer was made to General
Santos City precisely to safeguard Saranggani Bay and preserve the tuna fishes in the bay. The
council could not decide the location of the sewerage treatment plant. The least possible site
was actually owned by one of the councilors. There was also a question of how much the city
government is willing to spend to operate the sewage treatment plan. To safeguard the tuna
industry and health of the people, the city government will only spend 1.5% of the budget to
operate the sewerage treatment plant. All public hearings were conducted. Participation and
buy in of communities had all been agreed upon. The decision has been pending for 6 months.
Meanwhile, DENR had to pay commitment fees. Finally, DENR sent official letter to the city
government withdrawing from that partnership. DENR pulled out from General Santos City and
common septage treatment plants were built instead in other municipalities.)

Ms. Bebet Gozun – Institutional Specialist
Each participant was requested to state their name and the water district they represent.
Objectives
Ms. Gozun presented to the participants the objective of the meeting and mentioned the
consultations that were completed.
Objective: To bring together water districts (categories C and D) from Visayas and
Mindanao to discuss and prioritize issues concerning their operation and collectively
formulate a set of recommendations to address prioritized issues
She stressed that there is a need to look at sanitation to ensure water sustainability. The
concern is not just the environment and fishery but the health of the people. Lastly, Ms. Gozun
presented the program for the day.

Engr. Noel Ortigas – PWSSP Team Leader
Refer to ppt presentation.
A lot has been done for the water sector. This is the third master plan. This master plan is
practicable and not a thick book. The team is conducting consultation across the country. Plans
and programs emanate from the ground. The consultation process we are doing is instrumental
in framing the master plan.
Increase access to safe water is articulated in the PDP. 5% of 100 million people is 5 million,
still a huge number without access to safe water. Sanitation numbers are not really
representative of the reality. In relation to the SDGs, we have to ensure that water and
sanitation services are affordable to ensure universal access. The output of this master planning
exercise is an action plan that will guide us in achieving our targets. To do so, we need policy
reforms, review tariffs and permits.
To talk about water is to talk about waste water, too. Of the water we use, 60 % is waste water
that we need to manage and reuse. In terms of investment and financing, there is money
available. We just need the plan how to spend it.

Overview: WSS Situation, Target and Commitments
Mr. Ramon Alikpala – Institutional Specialist
Sector Challenges
Water Resources
It is harder and harder to find water sources, aquifers with water and there is an issue on water
quality if the aquifer has water. The cost of treatment is too high or the wells are simply
abandoned. Deep wells have aquifer drying up. These are some of the scenes seen across the
country.
Topography and geography are some of the reasons why some areas do not have access to
water. Pumping cost is high. Water service providers cannot serve upland communities because
population density is low. Serving island communities is always a problem. Some islands do not
have water source. They are left on their own to source water from the mainland. These areas
fall in franchise areas of water districts and something water districts have to be concerned
about. In some areas, watersheds have informal settlers affecting water quality.
Water permitting process takes too long. Others put in deep wells without permits to serve the
population. Many in the private sector are speculating. They are getting water permits and water
districts have to buy from them despite the fact that water districts can develop the water supply.
There are rules but are not followed.
Institutions and Governance

There are many water institutions to talk to in order to get water permits – NWRB, Barangay,
and others. In the process, even if there are many agencies involved, there are still many gaps
in the sector.
There is no single agency in-charge of water supply and sanitation. LWUA is in-charge of water
districts but there is no one in-charge of areas with no WDs. There are no regional
representatives of NWRB. People who need their services still have to go to Quezon City. There
are many regulators such as LWUA, TIEZA, NWRB. But there is no regulator for LGU run water
supply. LGU run water utilities have no standards and no targets.
There is no nationwide program for waste water. There are targets for waste water but there is
no program. The Clean Water Act requires people to connect to existing systems and makes
explicit the penalties but no one compels the LGU to be compliant. For example, there is penalty
for dirtying the river but lacks clarity as to who is in-charge of cleaning the river. Clean Water Act
is a step in the right direction but there is still much to do. Today, there is Increased awareness
on waste water because of what happened in Boracay.
We cannot have a national strategy without taking into consideration the particularities of each
area and with no consideration for small islands. Strategies used in cities differ from those that
are applicable to 5th class municipalities and those municipalities with water and those that do
3
not have water. There is a need to push for more river basin organizations. River basin
organizations should manage its own water resource and issue water permits. NWRB cannot
manage the water resources of the whole country. Those who know best their water resources
should manage their resources.
Regulatory
Regulation means we need data. Our data on current situation has 2 sets of data and they are
not reconciled. These are the PSA/NSO and WHO/JMP data.
Monitoring of water quality is an issue. We lack quality monitoring at source. Small water
districts cannot afford water testing because there is a lack of water testing laboratories. For
waste water, there is a different laboratory required.
There is also lack of political will to improve services. Cities that do not have water districts end
up subsidizing water tariff. LGU managed water utilities cannot expand because the city will
subsidize more. LGUs who manage water service utilities are afraid to increase tariff and
professionalize services because this will mean increase in tariff. And when tariff increases, the
residents will get angry. Those who complain about increased tariff are those who have water
connections. When there is no increase in tariff, water utilities cannot expand and improve its
services.
Low tariff means we are not able to recover our costs. Approval process of tariff increase is very
long contributing to the losses of WDs. And when it gets approved, sometimes it is less than
what is requested. This is a vicious cycle of losses which is wrong.
There are many Joint Venture arrangements now but we do not know at the national level if
these are in the best interest of the consumers because there is no regulatory oversight. In
these JV arrangements, LWUA is just an observer. Even if LWUA wants to step in, it does not
have the right and the number of people that will be required in these engagements. LWUA is
limited also by its lack of knowledge about JV. If the JV arrangement does not have tariff
increase, then LWUA cannot comment.
Financing and funding

The WSS sector needs Php 45b a year to help the country improve access to water and
sanitation services. There is a Php 3 b allocation to the sector per year according to NEDA. Now
we need to worry about operations and maintenance because the systems are old. There is an
increasing spending for operation and maintenance. LGUs find this difficult.
LGUs want to tap NSSMP but there are many rules and there are few takers. Small private
utilities may want to access funding from commercial banks but these banks are not familiar
with water district operation. We have to find a way to draw-in the micro-financing sector in the
WSS sector.
Management
Good leaders and good managers are the key to a better managed water utility regardless
whether the utility is privately or publicly owned. Private utilities have the advantage because
can go abroad and WDs cannot because they do not have the funds. One could be a regulator
4
but is not familiar with new WSS technology. There is also lack of awareness about climate
resiliency and climate change. Reduction of precipitation or drought will impact on hydro power
and irrigation for example.
Because of poor attitude of water utilities, they also do not improve. The lack of incentives like
increase in salary is used as an excuse for the lack of improvement in their performance. LGU
managed WDS are not operated as business enterprises. This is not sustainable.
Listahang Tubig mapped out all the players in the water sector. There are 520 water districts but
over 5,000 L3 water service providers. Many of this number are BWSAs/RWASAs. We need to
study their operation. Staff of smaller WDs lack knowledge in new technology and even writing
business plans to access funds.
Political
Political issues are a big problem in improving water access. Water is a political commodity. In
some areas, there is lack of communication between the water district and the mayor especially
if the board is appointed by the previous mayor. The mayor is not a partner of the water district.
In metro utilities, consumers suffer. The 75% rule is an obstacle to growth and expansion in city.
If the Governor is the appointing authority, he/she does not allow expansion in cities because
the law rules that the mayor will appoint the board if water connection in the city reaches 75%.
In many areas, municipalities are the growth areas. Politicians tend to avoid increasing tariff so
people will not get angry.
Discussion:
 On the cancellation of ISAWAD’s water permit: A cooperative with only 300 members
was appropriated 57 lps. ISAWAD is serving 28,000 population and was issued 39 lps
only. Now they want to cancel this water permit.
 RWSA do not have permits. WDs pay annual dues. If WDs cannot pay annual dues, we
are penalized. They are strict on water district. Gen San has 140 water providers, not
including industries and they do not have permits. Water districts are penalized with 2%
surcharge. They paid half a million pesos as penalty. But those that do not have water
permits are not penalized.
 Illegal wells that have no water permits have to be reported to NWRB. PAWD should be
a force as an association. Talk to Secretary Cimatu and bring a list of reasonable
recommendations. NWRB will be forced to listen because Secretary Cimatu is their
leader.
 To avoid penalty, ISAWAD advised the water districts to advance payment, even a small
amount.
 To waive the penalties, this has to go through the Congress.
 There is a DOJ opinion that WDs are not under the administrative supervision of NWRB
and are exempted from paying annual water charges. But they need to pay necessary
application fees charges. NWRB refuses to accept the DOJ ruling. They appealed to the
Office of the President. The status currently is stalemate. Other WDs are forced to pay
for water permits under protest.
 All these things need to be reported to Sect. Climatu because he does not know these
issues.
5
 On water permit. Any Filipino can apply for water permit but individual application for
municipal water permit is not a priority. There is no specific rule for water district but only
in situation of crisis. For example, the use of a multi-purpose dam when there is drought.
The government can stop irrigation in favor of WDs. Water application is decided by
NWRB on a first come first serve basis. It can stop irrigation in favor of WDs. Anyone
can apply for water permit. Beyond 1 household use is considered municipal use.
 Thanked NEDA and the Consultants for recognizing the role of WDs in the design of the
master plan. The 500 WDs have very important role to play in the master plan. What
were the interventions or proposals made to address the challenges as given in the
roadmaps?
- Addressed fragmented regulatory regime. In 2012, NEDA drafted the Creation of

Water Regulatory Commission to consolidate. This also sprung from a Supreme
court ruling of no exclusivity. There should be only regulator and LGUs have be
regulated as well. It was a priority bill but there was opposition in the Congress.
There was no action. There is a strong clamor for WRC. With support of PAWD, we
can push for the creation of WRC.
- There were several attempts on regulation but not implemented. Government
interventions were directed at increasing private participation, reforms to create an
apex body, and financing reforms. Still the biggest hurdle is financing. Financing
should have been the role of LWUA. There had been many changes in LWUA and
different administrators. So many studies about LWUA were conducted and some of
these are conflicting. LWUA itself has its own problems. Financing flow had
problems. The latest study is about Unified Financing Framework. A key
recommendation of this study is that LWUA should stop giving out loans. Small WDs
have big needs. Small WDs need institutional support and not just financing to help
them develop.
- The plan now to is create a Water Resource Department which is a major
institutional policy reform. This is one of the pending major institutional policy
reforms.
Advocating for Sanitation and Why We Should Do it Now

Engr Jay Tecson – Sanitation Specialist
Discussion:
Sharing of Best Practice by ISAWAD: Septage Treatment Plant

Engr. Tecson introduced GM Lexy of ISAWAD. She was nominated as one of the
Courageous Women and she topped the search in Asia.
ISAWAD is a small water district. They were invited by the PWRF project to attend a
Domestic Waste Water and Septage Treatment Plant seminar. After the seminar, GM
Lexy found herself committed to it and prepared the feasibility study in one-year time.
Since they did not have the funds, they initially thought of a non-mechanized system and
6
went to Dumaguete City Water District for a study visit. ISAWAD had only Php 2m at that
time. The partnership with LGU was difficult. It took them 5 years to get the approval of a
local ordinance. They sought assistance from USAID for the inclusion of septage in
NSSMP. But funding available was only for HUCs.
In 2009, they looked at an upgraded system. A feasibility study quoted Php 54 m to be

the cost of a mechanized system. By this time, ISAWAD had Php 12m. They were
invited to an ADB event and surprisingly they were the only one prepared with an FS. A
supplier got interested. They offered a soft scheme payment for a mechanized system.
The project was completed.
It is a world class facility that include STP, laboratory, and a building. Sludge and
laboratory were not included in the FS. The city government issued no building permit
and a case was filed against her in the Ombudsman. She kept on and now the STP is
serving the communities. Septage fee – approved by LWUA in 2016 is Php 1.16 per
cubic with no basis. The approved rate during the public hearing is Php 1.20 per cubic.
They started with no money. They saved money over the years. Land was made
available for the STP by the Chairman of the Board and they are paying for it now. They
also have two trucks now. The lesson is persistence.
Workshop 1: Issues
Evelyn Orda – Institutional Specialist
Before the workshop, Ms. Orda presented the interventions taken by the government to address
WSS issues from 1990- 2016. These interventions are largely not successful because many of
the reforms are not targeted, not promoted well, and there is lack budget for implementation.
There is more success in improving private sector participation.

Discussion:
The biggest issue raised by the water districts is financing. High NRW is the 2nd biggest issue.
The 3rd biggest issue is political interventions together with problems with LGU ie. not receptive
to sanitation programs. Other issues are related to DPWH and NWRB.
Financial Issues:
Waste of resources
 Access to financing is the biggest problem among small water districts.
 Kabakan WD. Problem is clarity in roles and responsibilities in relation to Salin Tubig.
They already have plans to connect the 4 barangays that are not connected to the water
district. But SalinTubig has funds so they will build the water system even if the LGU
knows it will fail after 3 years. It is a waste of resources. The government has funds but
does not give to appropriate groups.
 Wao WD -ARMM: The LGUs may have implemented Salin Tubig projects even in areas
where there are existing water districts. They have wrong design and those who
implemented it lack engineering technical knowledge. It is a waste of resources. The
water district is hesitant to accept the project being turned over to them by the LGU. In
discussion with DILG, WD will be involved at least in the design process. The funds
could have been given to the water districts.
 GM Jun: Let us also consider the subdivisions. Water system constructed is below
standard of WDs. These water systems are now being negotiated to be turned over to
water districts. This is a concern of Category A WDs.
 Midsayap WD: There are some subdivisions who consult with WDs. In some barangays
in their area, there is no water. Salin Tubig infrastructure is already there. The water
infrastructure system is poorly done. A concrete example: Handpumps with no water.
They will put a drum with water underneath and pump slowly to show inspectors there is
water. In another case, people filled up the storage tank manually because the water
system not working. They found out because they were tapped to help find solutions to
these problems.
 Doing water pipelines without consulting WD. LGU does not have capacity to operate
and maintain water system. WD has no MOA to inspect the quality. During the
formulation stage, WD should be involved.
 NHA housing in Tacloban has a similar problem.
 Pikit WD: There is plenty of funding for ARMM. The water district conducted a feasibility
study for ICRC for a project that would cost Php 31m that will benefit the barangays. On
January 2016, the mayor informed them that the LGU will implement the project. The
MPDC was contracted to do the implementation. Now, when there are problems the
water district is called to fix the problems. Another project was the Php 141 m funding
from DPWH. The water district did the Program of Work. The Regional Director even
signed the document. The LGU decided to bid the project. During the second bidding,
they were informed that the bidding was moved in the afternoon. They found out that the
project was awarded to a contractor in the morning. The contract price was changed
from Php 141 m to Php 85 m. The GM went to DPWH Manila and reported the whole
thing. He talked to Usec Puyat and explained made a report. The GM was told by the
LGU that Php 30 m was returned to central office but there was no documentation/lost.
Now, an unmarked vehicle is parked near the office. This is perceived security threat.
11
Had all these monies been used properly in WSS in Pikit barangays, they will not have
problems with water and sanitation.
 Manolo Fortich. NHA is building 1,500 houses for military housing. The water district
talked to the NHA Regional Director and decided they will do a MOA with WD. But there
is no main line pipe going to location. In the MOA, they will stipulate the responsibilities
of NHA like installing the 1.5 kms pipe, put flow meter, storage. If the specs will not be
followed, WD will not accept the turn over. They should turn over to the homeowners’
association. Hydrotesting will be done to check the leakages. They will repair before
handing over to water district.
NRW
 Problem is old pipes.
 Funding is also a problem.
Political
 Lamitan: Appointment of BOD by the mayor even if they are not qualified. There are
also projects by the local government, even L3 water service type. They want the WD to
take over. There is no MOA between the LGU and the water district. Sectoral
representatives were appointed but they are not technical.
 Manolo Fortich. One water source has water permit. When the barangay leader from
that area lost, he took away their water source. The WD filed criminal charges. The
barangay leader lost but appealed to the Court of Appeals with the support of those with
political power. Because the WD has the water permit, he filed a complaint to NWRB but
before a cease and desist order could be implemented, there was another political
intervention. The implementation of the CDO was to be postponed for another 30 days.
Before the 30 days ended, a letter from VACC to review issuance of water permit to
water district was filed. The WD is paying for the water permit but another group is using
the water.
 Claveria: LGU created its own water system within the service area of the water district.
The funding is from Salin Tubig and Landbank. There was a series of meeting with DILG
but the issue remains unresolved. The WD was created by a resolution of the LGU yet
the LGU supported another parallel water service provider. Claveria WD has only about
1,500 connections. Given this small number, there is no reason why they will need two
water service providers. The WD passed a resolution that if consumers disconnect water
service from them, they will not connect again. There was a case of water borne disease
and these two water service providers pointed fingers at each other.
 This is the off shoot of the SC decision on exclusivity. In Iloilo, the mayor presented a
CPC (Certificate of Public Convenience – issued by NWRB) to Macro Asia. The case of
Claveria is similar to Taytay, Palawan.
 Lamitan: The LGU and the Regional Governor agreed that the water of Lamitan City
could be used by Tuburan municipality as requested by Tuburan. Water source is not
even enough for Lamitan. The WD is not serving the entire barangays and has problems
with expansion. Water is enough for 5,000 connections only. There are other sources of
water in Lamitan and that is where Tuburan should get water. A threshold should be set.
12
NWRB
 ISAWAD: One water source of the WD is in an area owned by a cooperative. This
cooperative requested NWRB to cancel 2 water permits of ISAWAD. If this get
approved, 5,000 households will be affected. NWRB is inclined to cancel the water
permit of ISAWAD. NWRB also issued water permit to the cooperative with only 300
households with an even higher volume of water. This violates the CPC rule. ISAWD
was advised to send a letter to Secretary Cimatu and Ms. Bebet Gozun will help set up
the meeting.
Others
 ZCWD is spending Php 20 m to protect watershed that has been turned over to the city.
Services availed from LWUA

 LWUA gives loans and also regulates water rate. But their departments do not talk to
each other. The Loans Department approves loans and collects payment but the other
department does not want to increase water rate so they could pay back their loans. A
request to increase their water rate was filed in 2012 but until now LWUA has not made
a decision. A member of the BOT of LWUA was asking for many requirements. In their
case, they did not need a loan. A water rate increase could have been sufficient.
 ISAWAD: LWUA insists that it will make the cash flow of the WDs. In addition, LWUA’s
interest loan amount to 8% broken down as follows: 4% interest loan and 4%
supervision fee. ISAWAD worked out a Php 150 m grant from the Congress. LWUA told
them to prepare a Program of Work. Then they were told that the funding will be coursed
through LWUA and this will be a loan. ISAWAD rejected the funding. LWUA also does
not give grace period.
 Provided a comprehensive package of services more than 10 years old. LWUA set up
WDs and trained staff, implemented capacity building programs, gave early action loans,
and continuous monitoring and assistance. It is different now. During the time of
Administrator Pichay, there was still NLIP loan program. They had a loan of Php 9 m and
in 2009 availed of Php 5 m operational loan. There is no training. No monthly visits of
advisors. No monitoring of performance but only emails. LWUA is seldom monitoring.
Technical assistance needed by WDs is sought from other group water districts.
 Maramag Water District. The WD had a very positive experience with LWUA. At that
time, they had a Php 22m project. They availed of the grant from NLIP which is 50%
and borrowed 50%. They have a positive relationship with LWUA on loan assistance. If
they borrowed from a bank, there is no technical assistance.
 Metro Midsayap. What to give to management advisors when they visit and how much to
give really depends on the person. From their experience, they only give what they can
afford. At present, they received a loan from LWUA. They have the certification of the
loan in the amount of Php 10 m for the Administration Building. They have also applied
for water treatment plant and well drilling in the amount of Php 14 m. A request was also
approved for the increase in the per diem of the Board since they received the lowest
per diem in the Category C classification of WDs. The interest rate charged by LWUA is
4% plus 2 % review fee plus monitoring fee 1%. Payment period is for 5 years. These
fees are included in the amortization for 5 years.
13
 Gingoog City WD. The WD applied to DPWH for grant. DPWH gave them Php 49 m
grant. They applied again to DPWH but this time LWUA responded. Category D and
newly formed should be given grants at least Php 20 m grant. LWUA knows which are
the newly created WDs and what support they need. LWUA knows that Category D WDs
need their support. These WDs do not even have the money to go to Manila. Even funds
for tourism water projects are coursed through LWUA and are loans. It used to be grant.
 Quezon/Bukidnon. The WD got Php 91 m from DPWH. The project is on-going and a
contractor is doing the project. The WD monitors the project and report to DPWH.
 There is a problem between DPWH and contractors. DPWH knows more about roads
and bridges. The Tourism Water Fund (TOuWA) was returned back to LWUA.
 NEDA approved a Unified Financing Framework. UFF is a combination of loans and
grants and technical support. Details of the UFF is being worked on at the moment. All
the things that are brought up today will be included in the recommendations.
 The policy of LWUA depends on who the administrator is. There was a time that LWUA
only charged 1-2%. Any funds from other agencies, LWUA will charge fees. There is
always service fee but % differs depending on who administrator is.
 Technical assistance by LWUA: GenSan WD pays for LWUA services, including their
travel expenses mostly for technical matters like Geo resistivity test and Drilling services
needed. During the Pumping test, LWUA did not visit. The WD only sent the results to
LWUA thru email. The WD paid for their specific consulting services. Before, advisors
come to WDs to provide technical assistance.
 Before, LWUA provided technical assistance.
 The problem with LWUA is that they are not technically updated. They are even asking
the WDs. LWUA is more knowledgeable with old technology.
 LWUA’s training materials are old, the same materials since prewar.

PPP San Isidro San Isidro :Re-evaluate
Joint Venture of WDs
20
Discussion:
Financing has the most number of recommendations. Political and reduction of NRW also have
numerous recommendations as well as septage management.
 Gingoog WD: Instead of paying LWUA, strengthen PAWD in lieu of LWUA. PAWD is the
WDs anyway. Strengthen their technical capacity.
 San Isidro. Evaluate the Joint Venture.
 Bayawan WD. Bayawan STP model could teach others about sanitation. Their waste
water treatment facility does not rely on power and chemical. They are also looking into
the processing of solid waste as fertilizer. Example: Processing solid waste into
charcoal. Bayawan is dependent on spring in the upland. The watershed has to be
protected, The WD is still looking for technology to convert solid waste that will benefit to
city.
 Input from Ms. Gozun: Bio degradable waste can be turned into composts or soil
conditioner. This kind of waste can also be put in small bio-digester. We need to improve
our management of non bio-degrabdable wastes. In urban areas we can sell them.
Plastic wastes can be recycled into eco bricks, pavers or chairs. Our plastic recycling is
only 16% of the plastic we use. We need to stop use of single use plastic. Plastic waste
is floating in the ocean and our country ranks 3rd in polluting the ocean with plastic,
 In terms of Sanitation, there will be a technology forum to be organized by DOST and
DENR. DOH will call for sanitation summit where they may be able to present the master
plan.
 Local sustainable sanitation master plan at the local level should include the water
district.
 During emergencies, WDs are tapped by the government to provide drinking water but
not on sanitation. Lime stabilization technology is available for sanitation in emergencies.
Ways Forward
Engr. Noel Ortigas
Engr. Noel Ortigas expressed his gratitude for everyone’s participation and sharing their
uncensored thoughts. With their input, we look positively ahead of the WSS sector we want to
serve.
Turbulent flow is needed for water to be purified. Then, it goes to the river carrying with it
stones. It smoothens the rock. There is a danger of being stagnant when the water flow slows
down. Water quality deteriorates. Fragments apply to solids not on water. We should be
interconnected.
Closing Remarks
GM Jun Santos
21
It is proper to thank the 3 consultants. For the past many months, we were talking about the
master plan. WDs recognize that we are a major stakeholder. The master plan is not yet
complete. Another consultation will be done in Luzon. All the inputs of WDs will be vital.
Concerns of small water districts are different from bigger water districts. Maybe one concern is
PPP. There will be hopefully a Southern and Northern Luzon consultation.

RTD with Luzon Water Districts
Meeting Notes
Roundtable Discussion with Category C and D Water Districts – Luzon
July 24, 2018
Baguio County Club, Baguio City
Participants:
There were 46 participants which was consisted of 24 water districts (WDs). The PWSSMP
team was represented by the Team Leader, Institutional Specialists, Water and Sanitation
Specialists, Participation Specialist, and support staff.
Welcome Remarks
Engineer Salvador M. Royeca – General Manager, Baguio City Water District
GM Royeca started off the morning by thanking everyone for travelling despite the bad
weather and floods affecting the different provinces in Luzon. He also welcomed everybody to
the City of Pines. He said that the reason for this consultation is because the local water
districts are the forefront in managing the water resources in the country. He also emphasized
that an integrated and holistic approach to managing these resources is strictly needed.
GM Royeca mentioned that one major challenge in the water sector is the inadequacy of water
supply and sanitation service in certain parts of the country. While there are existing facilities,
these are unsatisfactory and inadequate many people still die from water-borne diseases.
Cost of installing basic of installing basic sanitation facilities are prohibitive for many minimum
wage earners. On the other hand, capital expenditures for the construction of sewerage
systems or the rehabilitation sewerage systems are prohibitive too for an LGU. Thus,
sanitation programs are not a priority. Without mentioning the capability and capacity of
managing a sewerage system.
With this being said, he hoped that the consultation meeting be very informative, and when
the participants return to their respective water districts formulation of sanitation systems shall
be a top priority of the BOD and of the WD management.
Mr. Jay Tecson – Sanitation Specialist
Each participant’s name was called out and their respective water districts acknowledged.
Objectives
Mr. Jay Tecson – Sanitation Specialist
Mr, Tecson presented to the participants the objective of the meeting and mentioned the
consultations that were completed.
Objective: To bring together water districts (categories C and D) from Luzon to discuss
and prioritize issues concerning their operation and collectively formulate a set of
recommendations to address prioritized issues
He stressed that there is a need to look at sanitation to ensure water sustainability. The
concern is not just the environment and fishery but the health of the people. Lastly, Mr. Tecson
presented the program for the day.

Mr. Ramon Alikpala – Insitutional Specialist
A lot has been done for the water sector. This is the third master plan. This master plan is
practicable and not a thick book. The team is conducting consultation across the country.
Plans and programs emanate from the ground. The consultation process we are doing is
instrumental in framing the master plan.
Increase access to safe water is articulated in the PDP. 5% of 100 million people is 5 million,
still a huge number without access to safe water. Sanitation numbers are not really
representative of the reality. In relation to the SDGs, we have to ensure that water and
sanitation services are affordable to ensure universal access. The output of this master
planning exercise is an action plan that will guide us in achieving our targets. To do so, we
need policy reforms, review tariffs and permits.
To talk about water is to talk about waste water, too. Of the water we use, 60 % is waste water
that we need to manage and reuse. In terms of investment and financing, there is money
available. We just need the plan how to spend it.
Overview: WSS Situation, Target and Commitments

Mr. Ramon Alikpala – Institutional Specialist
Sector Challenges
Water Resources
It is harder and harder to find water sources, aquifers with water and there is an issue on water
quality if the aquifer has water. The cost of treatment is too high or the wells are simply
abandoned. Deep wells have aquifer drying up. These are some of the scenes seen across
the country.
Topography and geography are some of the reasons why some areas do not have access to
water. Pumping cost is high. Water service providers cannot serve upland communities
because population density is low. Serving island communities is always a problem. Some
islands do not have water source. They are left on their own to source water from the mainland.
These areas fall in franchise areas of water districts and something water districts have to be
concerned about. In some areas, watersheds have informal settlers affecting water quality.
Water permitting process takes too long. Others put in deep wells without permits to serve the
population. Many in the private sector are speculating. They are getting water permits and
water districts have to buy from them despite the fact that water districts can develop the water
supply. There are rules but are not followed.
Institutions and Governance

There are many water institutions to talk to in order to get water permits – NWRB, Barangay,
and others. In the process, even if there are many agencies involved, there are still many gaps
in the sector.
2
There is no single agency in-charge of water supply and sanitation. LWUA is in-charge of
water districts but there is no one in-charge of areas with no WDs. There are no regional
representatives of NWRB. People who need their services still have to go to Quezon City.
There are many regulators such as LWUA, TIEZA, NWRB. But there is no regulator for LGU
run water supply. LGU run water utilities have no standards and no targets.
There is no nationwide program for waste water. There are targets for waste water but there
is no program. The Clean Water Act requires people to connect to existing systems and
makes explicit the penalties but no one compels the LGU to be compliant. For example, there
is penalty for dirtying the river but lacks clarity as to who is in-charge of cleaning the river.
Clean Water Act is a step in the right direction but there is still much to do. Today, there is
Increased awareness on waste water because of what happened in Boracay.
We cannot have a national strategy without taking into consideration the particularities of each
area and with no consideration for small islands. Strategies used in cities differ from those that
are applicable to 5th class municipalities and those municipalities with water and those that
do not have water. There is a need to push for more river basin organizations. River basin
organizations should manage its own water resource and issue water permits. NWRB cannot
manage the water resources of the whole country. Those who know best their water resources
should manage their resources.
Regulatory
Regulation means we need data. Our data on current situation has 2 sets of data and they are
not reconciled. These are the PSA/NSO and WHO/JMP data.
Monitoring of water quality is an issue. We lack quality monitoring at source. Small water
districts cannot afford water testing because there is a lack of water testing laboratories. For
waste water, there is a different laboratory required.
There is also lack of political will to improve services. Cities that do not have water districts
end up subsidizing water tariff. LGU managed water utilities cannot expand because the city
will subsidize more. LGUs who manage water service utilities are afraid to increase tariff and
professionalize services because this will mean increase in tariff. And when tariff increases,
the residents will get angry. Those who complain about increased tariff are those who have
water connections. When there is no increase in tariff, water utilities cannot expand and
improve its services.
Low tariff means we are not able to recover our costs. Approval process of tariff increase is
very long contributing to the losses of WDs. And when it gets approved, sometimes it is less
than what is requested. This is a vicious cycle of losses which is wrong.
There are many Joint Venture arrangements now but we do not know at the national level if
these are in the best interest of the consumers because there is no regulatory oversight. In
these JV arrangements, LWUA is just an observer. Even if LWUA wants to step in, it does not
have the right and the number of people that will be required in these engagements. LWUA is
limited also by its lack of knowledge about JV. If the JV arrangement does not have tariff
increase, then LWUA cannot comment.
Financing and funding

The WSS sector needs Php 45b a year to help the country improve access to water and
sanitation services. There is a Php 3 b allocation to the sector per year according to NEDA.
3
Now we need to worry about operations and maintenance because the systems are old. There
is an increasing spending for operation and maintenance. LGUs find this difficult.
LGUs want to tap NSSMP but there are many rules and there are few takers. Small private
utilities may want to access funding from commercial banks but these banks are not familiar
with water district operation. We have to find a way to draw-in the micro-financing sector in
the WSS sector.
Management
Good leaders and good managers are the key to a better managed water utility regardless
whether the utility is privately or publicly owned. Private utilities have the advantage because
can go abroad and WDs cannot because they do not have the funds. One could be a regulator
but is not familiar with new WSS technology. There is also lack of awareness about climate
resiliency and climate change. Reduction of precipitation or drought will impact on hydro power
and irrigation for example.
Because of poor attitude of water utilities, they also do not improve. The lack of incentives like
increase in salary is used as an excuse for the lack of improvement in their performance. LGU
managed WDS are not operated as business enterprises. This is not sustainable.
Listahang Tubig mapped out all the players in the water sector. There are 520 water districts
but over 5,000 L3 water service providers. Many of this number are BWSAs/RWASAs. We
need to study their operation. Staff of smaller WDs lack knowledge in new technology and
even writing business plans to access funds.
Political
Political issues are a big problem in improving water access. Water is a political commodity.
In some areas, there is lack of communication between the water district and the mayor
especially if the board is appointed by the previous mayor. The mayor is not a partner of the
water district. In metro utilities, consumers suffer. The 75% rule is an obstacle to growth and
expansion in city. If the Governor is the appointing authority, he/she does not allow expansion
in cities because the law rules that the mayor will appoint the board if water connection in the
city reaches 75%. In many areas, municipalities are the growth areas. Politicians tend to avoid
increasing tariff so people will not get angry.
Advocating for Sanitation and Why We Should Do it Now

Mr. Tecson discussed that around 70% - 80% of the clean water used becomes wastewater
released untreated to water bodies. Almost all of the WDs stop at the only giving water supply
service to the people while septage management and wastewater treatment is forgotten
despite what is stated in the Clean Water Act. According to the Clean Water Act, the WDs
responsibility is to transpose back the wastewater into its clean state before releasing back to
water bodies or before reusing it. In the country, there are only about 25 completed septage
systems which constitutes roughly 25 LGUs as well. This is a very small number compared to
the number of LGUs in the country.
From Millenium Development Goals it has shifted to Sustainable Development Goals wherein
it rendered the former definition of sanitation into something more encompassing. Improved
4
sanitation facilities are those designed to hygienically separate excreta from human contact.
There are three (3) ways to meet the criteria for having a safely managed sanitation service.
People should use improved sanitation facilities which are not shared with other households,
and the excreta produced should either be:
 Treated and disposed of in situ,
 Stored temporarily and then emptied and transported to treatment off-site, or
 Transported through a sewer with wastewater and then treated off-site
If the excreta from improved sanitation facilities are not safely managed then people using
those facilities will be classed as having a basic sanitation service. People using improved
facilities which are shared with other households will be classified as having a limited service.
Septage management and sewerage systems are highly recommended in the sustainable
treatment of wastewater.
Mr. Tecson also discussed the targets/focus of the country for the Sanitation Sub-Sector as
well as the investment requirement needed to achieve the targets set by the government.
 Philippine Development Plan (PDP) – By 2022, the Philippines would have
established a 97% access to basic sanitation
 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) – By 2030, the Philippines would have
established universal (100%) access to improved sanitation – sanitation facilities and
services that are safely managed.

He also discussed the prohibited acts under the Clean Water Act and discussed the landmark
case which is the Manila Bay Mandamus of 2008 wherein government agencies were
commanded to jointly and solidarily, clean up and rehabilitate Manila Bay and restore its
waters to SB classification to make it fit for swimming, skin-diving and other forms of contact
recreation.
Improved Sanitation Facilities - Workshop 1: Issues

Before the workshop, Ms. Gozun presented the interventions taken by the government to
address WSS issues from 1990- 2016. These interventions are largely not successful because
many of the reforms are not targeted, not promoted well, and there is lack budget for
implementation. There is more success in improving private sector participation.

Discussion:
Before the afternoon session began, the Local Water Utilities Administration’s Adminsitrator,
Mr. Jeci Lapus, gave a short message to the water districts and gathered their prevailing
issues to try and provide some answers. A couple of water districts relayed their situation to
the Administrator and is as follows;
Alicia Water District – In 2017, the water district has reached 3100 connections and asked
for upward re-categorization of the WD from LWUA. However, they were disallowed due to
their principal loan. According to the current GM, they have paid 36 million already and is
willing to pay as long as they are re-categorized. Admin Jeci Lapus said that loans as well as
NRW were not included in the grounds for re-categorization anymore. He told GM to contact
him on Monday.
For Septage Management – Admin Lapus promotes the use of a consortium, a group of
category B or C Water Districts to avail a group loan. However before this there shold be a
municipal ordinance.
Puerto Princesa City Water District – Queries on who could help them in reviewing the
PPP contracts being offered by private companies. Admin Jeci replies that LWUA is not
involved in the reviewing of these contracts nor are they involved in the negotiations. It is
NEDA who is involved in this.
Virac Water, Palayan City, Del Gallego District – Many Water Districts are affected by the
widening of roads of the DPWH. Pipelines will have to be relocated and this incurs costs to
the water districts. According to Mr. Lapus, he is currently convening with DPWH Head to
have a joint agreement where in stipulated that all lines that will be affected by the road
widening should be included in the program of works that is provided that we are in
compliance with their needs. Since this is a nationwide problem, LWUA is arranging it from
the top management level. In the meantime he asked the water districts to submit all their
pipeline layouts to the regional offices in their respective areas.
Santa Maria Water District – Politicians pressure the Water district to enter a PPP with a
Private company despite their non-consent. In their case, their GM resigned due to the
political pressure
Ramos Water District – According to the WD, they were charged and penalized by NWRB
because the NIA well that was turned-over to them did not have a water permit. They are
unable to pay for these charges due to the PD 198 that does not allow water districts to pay
charges to NWRB therefore accumulates their dues. Condonation of these dues were not
9
also allowed. This is considered as a major policy issue regarding NWRB and DOJ ruling on
water charges and penalty faced by water districts. The WD was asked to keep their receipts
for future reference.
Strategic Interventions – Briefing for Water Districts from Luzon

Refer to the ppt presentation.
Mr. Tecson showed a variety of septage and sewerage facilities for the water districts to learn
from. He reiterated that DENR does not care which technology they use but more of the
effluent standards being complied. For rural areas, the treatment facilities should be simple
and community driven system. He also pointed out the growing concern regarding non-point
sources of water pollution.
The different interventions he discussed are as follows:
1. Centralized vs. Decentralized – Manila Water and Maynilad has used the river basin
approach before in putting up septage treatment plant and is considered as a
decentralized facility. Now they are planning to have a centralized facility.
2. Clustering Approach for Septage Management – All LGUs in a province is include in a

cluster wherein each municipality has a place where it can bring its septage. Its
advantage is that not all LGUs needs to spend for construction and management.
However the LGUs should have a Memorandum of Agreement amongst themselves
and also a local ordinance.
3. Natural vs. Mechanized Facility
a. Natural – this system mimics nature to treat wastewater, using the wind, sun
and land to treat waste water. It is a low maintenance facility which only needs
one person to get the sludge every 1 to 2 years. However it needs a large area.
b. Mechanized – unlike the natural facility, this only needs a small area to operate.
It can be co-located. However it needs a highly skilled operator for it to function
properly. An example is in Baliuag, wherein the water district gave the
contractor a service contract to operate the treatment plant in their behalf.
4. Onsite vs. Offsite Facility
a. Onsite – improving septic tanks is a type of an onsite facility. An example is in
Dumaguete City wherein they have implemented the use of a three-chamber
septic tank. Another is the leach/drain field wherein a network of perforated
pipes which carries the septic tank effluent to percolate in the sand or gravel. It
needs to be at least 6 – 10 feet away from the water table.
5. Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System (DEWATS) – it is a simple design which
is not dependent on energy and is low cost. It can also be expanded unlike septic
tanks.
6. Anaerobic Baffled Filter (ABF) – is an improved septic tank which uses the upflow
treatment of wastewater, forcing the sediments to settle and only water to flow because
of the baffles installed. It is recommended to have at least 7 baffles. The filters is where
the microbes or the good bacteria cling to so when the water passes by they can treat
10
it. This type of onsite treatment was applied in the Gawad Kalinga row housings instead
of having individual septic tanks.
7. Mound System – this system is used when the soil is composed of hard material. So
instead of digging, it is constructed on top. Due to its slope, it needs pumping so that
the wastewater from the septic tank can be transported to the system.
8. Plant Gravel Filter – is a shallow tank of graded gravel or pebbles and selected species
of plants (suc as Phragmites karka or ‘Tambok’) to treat pollutants by biological
conversion, mechanical filtration and chemical adsorption. A community of fisherfolk in
Bayawan City, Negros Oriental is connected to this kind of system wherein the
wastewater from their septic tanks flow through these reed beds. These are one meter
deep and is constructed with a one degree slope. Roots can only reach up to one
meter in depth and the one degree helps in the slow moving of water through the beds.
The reeds are then used for livelihood programs while the treated water is stored in an
overhead tank for watering plants as well as for fire-fighting purposes. This is a low
cost treatment that does not use energy nor chemicals. The plants used are found
around the Philippines.
9. Biogas Digester – a device or structure in which the digestion of organic waste matter
by bacteria takes place with the production of a burnable biogas and a nutrient-rich
slurry. This device is used in Batanes for their piggeries, poultry and slaughterhouse
wastes with very high BOD content.
10. Waste Stabilization Ponds – man-made water bodies where the ponds are filled with
wastewater that is then treated by naturally occurring processes. The ponds can be
used individually, or linked in a series for improved treatment. Dumaguete City uses
this kind of treatment.
11. Lime Stabilization Treatment – a low-cost technology for treating septage by adding
hydrated lime, also known as Calcium Hydroxide, to help kill pathogens and limit its
re-growth and also conditions the septage to reduce odors. Tacloban City uses this
kind of technology which can treat septage within a day.
12. Simplified Sewerage/Settled Sewerage – is a sewer system that collects all household
wastewater (blackwater and greywater) in small-diameter pipes laid at fairly flat
gradients. In Metro Manila, combined sewers are used wherein interceptors are
installed to gather the sewage before it drains to the river/sea and is transported to the
treatment plants.
13. Community Approaches – for rural areas e.g. ARMM
a. Establishment of Local WATSAN Councils
b. Plan manageable and sustainable systems
With regards to the septage management ordinance, the ideal contents are listed in the power
points. Aside from the ordinance, Information, Education and Communication Campains (IEC)
is also very important in promoting the sanitation to the public. In Marikina, during flag
ceremonies a desludger truck is shown and houses desludged where given stickers.

Ways Forward and Closing Remarks

Engr. Noel Ortigas – Team Leader
Engr. Noel Ortigas expressed his gratitude for everyone’s participation and sharing their
uncensored thoughts. With their input, we look positively ahead of the WSS sector we want to
serve.
13
Matter is neither created nor destroyed, it is only transformed in the same way is water. The
amount of water in the country is the same, it only varies in its form. In his closing remarks he
mentioned that for managing water supply the key word is sustainability especially with climate
change affecting the water cycle. On the other hand, for sanitation he strongly advices that
the key word is awareness. Not many people are still aware that almost 75% of the clean water
we use becomes wastewater.

INTRODUCTION:
Mr. Noel Ortigas welcomed the representatives from the different agencies and
organizations. He gave a brief introduction on the purpose of the costing consultation.
Ms. Danna Valdez gave an overview about the project.
Page 1 of 7
The Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan
(PWSSMP) is an action plan with corresponding investment and financing
programs to execute the Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap
(PWSSR) and Philippine Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR) and put
The PWSSMP targets align with the Philippine Development Plan

(2022) which aims to increase the percentage of households with access
to safe water supply to 95.16% and the percentage of households with
access to basic sanitation to 97.46% (both in a national level). Achieving
universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation is a continuing
challenge, which the country as a signatory to the United Nations (UN)
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to address. The PWSSMP
also complies with the goals of the Clean Water Act of 2004.
The project objectives are as follows:

 A Master Plan to help achieve targets in water supply and
sanitation,
 Develop strategies, policy reforms, identify priority programs
and projects (short-, medium- and long-term),
 Update and integrate the PWSSR and PSSR into a single,
comprehensive Master Plan, and link all other initiations relating
to water supply and sanitation (WSS), such as the Unified
Financing Framework (UFF), and
 Capacity building of NEDA and other agencies/institutions.
The main purpose of the costing consultation is to discuss the

costing for water supply and sanitation and lobby suggestions and
recommendations from different agencies and organizations. Specifically,
the consultation is intended to present preliminary determined unit costs for
WSS components along with considerations and assumptions used, solicit
comments and insights on preliminary results, and ask for
recommendations and suggestions for future development of costs
estimates based on industry experience and knowledge.
COSTING DISCUSSION:
Mr. Jay Tecson started the discussion by pointing out that the cost analysis for
WSS shall be on a per capita basis instead of having it by household. Average household
size per region shall be used, if needed.
He then asked the representatives from the other agencies to give some insights
and inputs regarding the assumptions, costing estimations, and they use in their projects.
Below are some of the costing considerations the agencies/organizations typically employ:
1. LWUA
On indirect costs, the following percentages of directs costs are used:

― Feasibility Study 3%
― Detailed Engineering Design 6%
― Construction Supervision 4%
Page 2 of 7
On water demand estimation, the following is used:
― Level 3 WS Service 120 liters per
capita per day
(lpcd)
2. NEDA Information
On indirect costs, the following percentages of directs costs are previously1

used (as emailed by NEDA CO):
― Feasibility Study 3%
― Detailed Engineering Design 6%
― Detailed Architecture and Engineering Design 8%
― Construction Supervision 10%
3. DILG
On unit cost (in-place) per HH used in their projects:

― Level 2 System (WS) Php 15,00 0 / HH but should be
operational (includes source
development, treatment, conveyance
lines, tap stands, etc.)
Water demand considered - 60 lpcd
― Level 3 System (WS) Php 25,000 / HH regardless of area

Water demand considered - 100 lpcd
4. DOH
On in-place costs of the following structures:

― Septic Tank (standard 2-chamber, water-tight) Php 22,500
― Pour-flush toilet with fittings Php 1,000
o Slab (2m x 2m x 4in) Php 1,5002
― Communal septic tank (anaerobic baffled currently being
reactor (ABR) technology) proposed
The DOH representatives said that they will submit a breakdown of

their standard costs and also design drawings for the consulting team to
initiate costing.
5. CHEMRES
CHEMRES, a private company, was also invited. The company

provides wastewater treatment chemicals and technical services the
biggest water companies in the country, along with other industries in the
country.
CHEMRES is also currently involved in many projects relating to

septage treatment plants (STPs) primarily servicing urban areas. They
shared the typical cost considerations in their project development,
implementation, and operations:
1
Superceded by 2016 Revised IRR of RA 9184
2
Estimated by the Consultant based on provided size and typical practice
Page 3 of 7
― Dewatering units and septage receiving stations usually make up
the majority of the investment costs in fully mechanized STPs
― STP investment cost estimates:
o Previous: Php 1 Million per 1,000 connections for 30 CMD
delivered to plant daily
o Current: PhP 1.3 Million per 1,000 connections for 30 CMD
(only includes equipment)
o Current: PhP 1.5 Million per 1,000 connections for 30 CMD
(includes equipment and hauling trucks)
o Studies show only 130 to 150 LGUs in the country can afford
to have an STP. These are 1st class LGUs that could entail
7,000 – 8,000 connections. Any lower than this and the
project is not viable and operations will be unsustainable
o Typical sanitation tariff: Php 2.50 to Php 3.00 per cu.m. (for
10,000 connections)
6. The Consultant
The Consultant also presented their preliminary assumptions and costs on water
― Rural Water Demand 60 – 80 lpcd

― Urban Water Demand 80 – 100 lpcd
― Wastewater Demand 50 lpcd
Suggestions for the inclusion of permitting and clearances in the

indirect costing were mentioned. All agreed that permitting and clearance
costs shall be 6%. ROWS (5%) cost shall be shouldered by the respective
LGUs.
Mr. Jener Pascua presented the preliminary costing for water

supply. He also mentioned that the presented water supply costs by The
Consultant are based on actual projects and some assumptions.
Table 1 shows the initial computations on the water supply costing

for NCR based on the assumptions stated below:

Assumptions:
 Level 1 system considered to serve 25 HH within 250 meters
 Level 2 system considered involves 5 tap stands to serve 20 HH within 25 meters
 Development of Water Source - 2mx2mx2m spring box
 Treatment Facility – hypochlorinator with accessories
 Transmission Line – 75mm HDPE x 120m length
 Storage – 5 cubic meter concrete ground reservoir
 Tap stand – 1 pc
 Communal faucet – 5 pcs
Numbers above yield the following unit costs per HH for Levels 1 and 2:
 Level 1 Service Unit Cost – Php 8,344 per HH

 Level 2 Service Unit Cost – Php 18,650 per HH
For Level 3 service, the below rate will be used:
 Level 3 Service Unit Cost – Php 25,000 per HH (2016 data)

o Above rate includes components for the distribution of water
supply. Costs for source development (depending on type:
groundwater, surface water), raw water treatment, and
transmission will be added accordingly.

Table 2 shows the costing on sanitation as presented by Mr. Tecson and Mr.
Diokno.
Table 2 – Preliminary Derived and Considered Cost Estimates for Sanitation Components
(NCR Rates)
Numbers above are still in the preliminary stage and will be finalized further. Mr.
Tecson said that they should visualize a ‘big picture’ cost. He also added that there is no
need to report about the per kilometer cost or dig into the deeper costs. He likewise said
that toilet, septic tank and septage management costs are enough for sanitation costing
analysis (per capita).
For regional cost estimates, labor and material costs for the other regions shall
be computed using the respective regional percentage comparisons to NCR-based cost
estimates listed in Tables 3 and 4:

Mr. Tecson suggested that labor and material costing percentages be consolidated
into a single form for easy computations. He also said that they should consider population
density when talking about level 3 systems (WS).
Mr. Tecson presented some of the Philippine Statistics Authority’s (PSA)

costing estimations on WSS and suggested that they should meet with the agency’s
officials for clarifications on the definitions and costing estimations included in their
data sheets.
Mr. Ortigas said that the Regional Workshops should only include direct
projects costs and then, thereafter, should indirect costs be consolidated in the final
table (national master plan).
With no more other matters to be discussed, the meeting was adjourned at

For the formulation of the Philippine Water Supply
And Sanitation Master Plan
05 JUNE 2018
Bulwagan Conference Room, 5/F Administration Building,

MWSS Compound, Katipunan Ave., Old Balara, Quezon City
Focus Group Discussion on Sanitation Sewerage And Septage Management
05 June 2018 | MWSS Compound, Quezon City
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on Sanitation - Sewerage and Septage Management Systems as
part of the Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP) was
conducted on June 5, 2018 at the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS)
Compound in Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City. The one-day activity was led by the representatives of
the PWSSMP consultants, Engineering and Development Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP)
and Tractebel Engie partnered with the MWSS.
The FGD on Sanitation - Sewerage and Septage Management Systems aims to (1) Present
preliminary findings on and current situation of the country’s access to sanitation management
services; (2) Discuss prevailing issues and solutions for implementing sewerage systems in
cities/highly urbanized areas, and expanding and promoting septage management; and (3) Gather
suggestions, insights, and experience of industry and subsector key players and stakeholders on how
to improve and sustain overall sanitation management in the country. (4) The discussion mainly
focused on Water Sanitation more particularly on Sewerage Systems not only in Metro Manila but all
over the country.
A total of 18 participants from various national government agencies and private/business sector
agencies attended the meeting. The list of offices that participated in the discussion is as follows:
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)

Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)
Manila Water Company Inc. (MWCI)
Maynilad Water Services Inc. (MWSI)
Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS)
Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP)
Philippine Society of Sanitary Engineers, Inc. (PSSE)
The meeting was mainly a discussion on the conditions and constraints to financing and possible
investments in the sector. As a summary, the participants, were able to identify certain problems in
plan implementation and financing like gaps between investment requirements and available funding,
unsustainable services by service providers, lack of regulatory offices, and more.

I. OPENING SESSION
1.1 Welcome Remarks
ENGR. RAMON R. FABUL

Officer-In-Charge Water and Sewerage Department
The welcome remarks were delivered by the recently appointed OIC of the newly established
Water and Sewerage Department of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).
He wished that the meeting would arise with productive discussion points, and that the members
of the different organizations would come up with concepts that will address the residing issues
on Sanitation in the country. In behalf of MWSS, he thanked and welcomed the participants for
attending the conference.
II. PWSSMP BACKGROUND AND WORKSHOP PROGRAM, OBJECTIVES, AND

PLANNED OUTPUTS
Engr. Noel M. Ortigas

Team Leader, Water Supply Specialist
NEDA-PWSSMP
The PWSSMP is an action plan to close the gap with corresponding investment and financing
programs to execute the Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap (PWSSR) and Philippine
Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR) and put targets for water and sanitation into realization.
The plan is strongly anchored to the Philippine Development Plan 2022 which ensures that there
is an increase in the access of safe water supply to 95.16 percent and increase in access to basic
sanitation to 97.46 percent. It is also in line with the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 which
aims for universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and access to
adequate and equitable sanitation by the year 2030. The Philippine Government is highly
committed to provide safe, clean water and sanitation services for all through the formulation of
PWSSMP. Anchoring on the Philippine / Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 and the Clean
Water Act of 2004 as well as the SDG 2030, the formulation of PWSSMP will take its shape to
provide a great contribution to the global and national objectives.

- increasing percentage of households (HHs) with access to safe water supply to
95% by 2022,
― Formulation of strategies, policy reforms, and identification of priority programs and
projects for short-, medium-, and long-term targets.
― Updating and integrating the PWSSR and PSSR into a single comprehensive Master
Plan, and linking such plan with all other initiatives in the WSS, including the Unified
Financing Framework (UFF).
― Capacity enhancement for the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)
staff as well as those from government agencies and institutions on water resources
planning, employing current and latest methodologies through training workshops and
actual involvement in the undertaking.
The formulation of the master plan covers various activities such as organization and planning,
sector assessment and regional visioning, strategy and operational plan formulation through the
management, information, dissemination and training. The project is expected to produce
2
National Master Plan and 16 Regional Master Plans. Highlights of this master plan include:
PWSS Vision, strategies, programs and projects and operational action plans along with the
investment requirements, time-line and implementation arrangements.
th
The project is already in its 9 month with the Inception Report, Sector Assessment Report and
Interim Report done. 15 Regional Planning Workshops have already been conducted with the last
1 (ARMM) to be held in the following weeks. The Regional Roadmaps are being processed and
finalized while the National Master Plan is now on its outlining stage.
III. DISCUSSION ON PREVAILING ISSUES AND RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Engr. Jose Serafin “Jay” Tecson

NEDA-PWSSMP
Current Sanitation Situation and Sector Issues
Based on the 2015 statistics, the Philippines ranked 4th among other Southeast Asian countries,
falling behind more advanced Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The
Philippines is also struggling in the course of transitioning of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs have a specific definition of
measuring access to sanitation, improved sanitation, basic sanitation, unimproved sanitation and
open defecation (which is an indicator for areas having no toilets).
The current situation of access to sanitation was discussed by Engr. Tecson referring to the data
gathered from the Philippine Statistics Authority (2015), under the Highest Improved Access are
the Region 4A (88%), NCR (85%), Region 3 (82%), Region 10 (80%) and Caraga Region (77%)
while the ARMM tops the Lowest Improved Access at 21% only followed by Region 12 (41%),
Region 2 (52%), Regions 5 and 11 both at 70%. With these statistics, agencies involved in the
project need to identify and customized the programs in order to address problems on sanitation.
Targets and Focus
Engr. Tecson described the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) that by year 2022, the country
would have established a 97% access to basic sanitation. While on 2030, the SDG targets the
country to establish a universal (100%) access to improved sanitation which insures sanitation
facilities and services are safely managed.
Sustainable Development Goals Definitions
The Sustainable Development Goals Definitions were discussed as to provide some guidelines
for the partakers on generating potential plans. As discussed, improved sanitation facilities are
those designed to hygienically separate excreta from human contact. There are three main ways
to meet the criteria for having a safely managed sanitation service. People should use improved
sanitation facilities which are not shared with other households, and the excreta produced should
either be: (1) treated and disposed of in situ, (2) stored temporarily and then emptied and
transported to treatment off-site, or (3) transported through a sewer with wastewater and then
treated off-site. If the excreta from improved sanitation facilities are not safely managed then
people using those facilities will be classed as having a basic sanitation service. People using
improved facilities which are shared with other households will be classified as having a limited
service—considered as not a good service thus this type of service is not encouraged.
Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 (R.A. 9275)
In relation to the current situation of sanitation of the country, its proposed plans are rooted from
the Republic Act 9275. The act includes several provisions on the Non-Attainment Areas, the
National Septage and Sewerage Management Program (NSSMP), Classification/Reclassification
3
of Water Bodies, Groundwater Vulnerability Mapping, Water Quality Guidelines, Effluent

Standards, and more.
Many prohibited acts under the law are identified which was discussed deliberately; any violation
and prohibition done that contributes to water pollution are a possible cause to file a lawsuit. In
partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), they are
granted with authority to conduct inspection and monitoring over water-related facilities and
documents, any act of refusal to allow the entry, inspection and monitoring as well as refusal to
allow access to relevant reports to the DENR are considered violations of the law. The prohibited
acts under the Clean Water Act have its corresponding fines, damages and penalties (from fines
of Php 10,000.00 – 500,000.00 to equivalent years of imprisonment).
Manila Mandamus of 2008
The very famous landmark case of the Philippines called the Writ of Kalikasan, involved national
government agencies responsible for protecting and conserving the water quality in Manila Bay.
This particular case has established precedence all over the country; which can prevent the same
situation that happened in Manila Bay to other existing bays and other bodies of water.
Clustering Approach for Septage Management
Engr. Jay Tecson discussed the Clustering Approach for Septage Management; part of the
Master Plan is to classify areas for basic sanitation, septage management (sanitation) and
sewerage. Sewerage Treatment Plants (STPs) are not required to be established per LGU but
with the strategized clustering of LGUs which offers each LGU the access to sanitation by either
associating them to a host-LGU or by being the host itself. Sample clustering data used in
Regional Planning Consultations were presented.
Recommended Technical and Financial Assistance Regime
In the past, various problems had been encountered due to lack of accountability-assignments
from the national agencies involved in water supply, also in sanitation; Engr. Tecson presented a
tabled recommendation of institutional framework to be incorporated in the master plan. It
includes specific national agencies assigned with their corresponding obligations; additional
purpose of this is to easily identify which agency will be accountable for devastating
circumstances.
Department of Health (DOH) as the lead agency for the implementation of sanitation, 5 liabilities
are appointed for them, these are: (1) overall sector coordination, monitoring and evaluation, (2)
basic sanitation programs and promotions (including toilets and septic tanks)—to address the
country’s 90% open defecation, (3) sanitation plan preparation for LGU technical assistance, (4)
nd th
financial and technical assistance—to 2 class to 6 class municipalities without water districts on
septage and sewerage, and (5) compliance training for all LGUs/SSPs/WDs. Before this
organizational framework, several government agencies had similar water and sanitation
programs but required different documents which made confusion to the interested applicants; the
targets of the presented approach are to avoid conflict with some agencies, prevent confusion
and establish more systemized procedures.
st
For the financial and technical assistance to HUCs—mostly NSSMP grantee, all cities, and 1
class municipalities with or without WD’s subject to restrictions on septage and sewerage facilities
which had been approved by the NEDA Board is assigned to Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH). Zamboanga City is presently processed in the Regional Office for NSSMP
grants; next in line for reviewing of applications are Cotabato City and Coron.
In financial and technical assistance to Water Districts (regardless of LGU classification) on

septage and sewerage facilities, Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) will be in charge
but instead of giving grants they will rather be offering loans.
4
Sanitation Strategic Interventions
The objectives are to deliver specific sanitation strategic interventions in terms of Planning and
Development, Service Provision, Regulation and Promotion for the LGUs and Water Districts
when they plan for access to sanitation; there are different dimensions and categories of actions
according to the profile of the target population.
Those areas with 60% to 100% High Access to improved sanitation coverage that they can
recommend Local Sustainable Sanitation Plan to be incorporated into the WSS Sector Plan, LDP,
AIP, and Local health plan. The sanitation program should focus on implementing sewerage
systems and completing septage management programs. Based on the regulation of LGU, the
implementers have undergone compliance trainings from DOH and DENR. For promotions, it is
focused on commanding the community to connect to the sewerage system when made available
and stressing the importance of compliance and its benefits.
The Medium Access areas have 30% to 59% Improved Sanitation Coverage while 0% to 29%
Improved Sanitation Coverage in the Low Access areas in terms of planning & development,
service provision, regulation and promotions which are the critical for enhancement.
The Master Plan intends to put high emphasis on planning particularly at present because of
approaching the government regarding finance. The LGUs have allocated funds yearly and need
to spend it within the year as it will return in treasury if not used. Furthermore, water districts need
to consider Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plans in their water supply and sanitation
activities.
III. POLICIES ARE NEEDED TO ORGANIZE AND IMPROVE SANITATION

SERVICES AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT
The agenda of the Focus Group Discussion was to pay attention at the concerns of the invited
agencies in terms of what they can recommend on policy direction, institution arrangements. The
focused question is “what reforms and policies are needed to organize and improve sanitation
services and wastewater management in the country. In sewerage, what will be the direction of the
combined system”. This session of the activity has been opened for the stakeholders for their queries,
clarifications and effort contributions. Engr. Jay Tecson facilitated the flow of the open forum.
Republic Act 1364 “Sanitary Engineering Law”
In relation to the Focus Group Discussion, Engr. Robert Licup of the Philippine Society of
Sanitation Engineering explained about the action in the congress of changing the title of RA 1364
“Sanitary Engineering Law” into “Environmental Engineering Law”. The Sanitary Engineering Law,
according to its first article, it is a practice of sanitary engineering that take account of (a) Sanitary
surveys, reports, design, direction, management, consultation, and investigation of: (1) Water
purification plants, water collection and distribution systems, reservoirs, drainage and sewer
systems, sewage treatment plants (STPs), malaria control structures, sewage disposal tanks, and
other structures for public health and welfare. (2) Projects relating to stream pollution, insect and
vermin control or eradication, rural and camp sanitation, and milk and food sanitation. (3) Systems
for the prevention of atmospheric pollution or the control of indoor, especially their or working
spaces in industrial establishments (industrial hygiene engineering). (b) Professional research
and laboratory work supporting the activities listed in subsection (a). (c) The term “sanitary
engineer” as used in this Act shall mean a person duly registered with the Board of Examiners for
Sanitary Engineers in the manner as hereinafter provided.
The Senate is considering on amending the Sanitary Engineering Law and contemplates it as
Environmental Engineering Law. The latter law will enforce an enhanced and expanded practice
of sanitary engineering; it still includes the pre-existing scope of the former law with added scope
of resources to keep updated with new and modern technologies of the time. It still includes public
health and sanitation aspect, not only pertaining to the environment.

Fund Allocation for Septage and Sewerage Infrastructures
Undersecretary Ipat Luna described that the waste water and used water problems are treated
like traffic, with different solutions provided by the government agencies. With the Build, Build,
Build program of the national government, the Department of Public Works and Highways
(DPWH) have Php 600 Billion allocated for infrastructures to be executed on the road and rail
network to address the traffic problems; but within the provided resources, there is insufficient
investment for sanitation and sewerage infrastructures particularly on waste water and Sewerage
Treatment Plants (STPs). She recommended that DPWH should also take account in their
blueprints the septage and sewerage system plans before undergoing procedures for the road
constructions. Usec. Luna expounded on the financial requirements to focus more on necessary
septage and sewerage infrastructures to address the principal problem of sanitation which is the
open defecation, attesting that DPWH should include sewerage in the Build Build Build program.
Sewerage Treatment Plants (STPs)
Boracay Island Water Company (BIWC), a the subsidiary of MWCI, holds STP facilities that
opened in 2009 located in Malay, Aklan, these infrastructures can treat up to 11 million liters of
waste water daily. While almost 60% of the establishments are connected in compliance to R.A
9275, the other 40% of businesses opted not to connect due to the cost of monthly sewerage
charges and environmental charges. This issue of drainage pollution was seen as the effect of
non-compliance of several illegal dischargers and lack of enforcements by the local government
units.
The pre-2012 and post-2012 tariff collection process of combined environmental charge and
sewerage charge do not ensure full cost recovery. Mr. Ramon Fabul of MWSS explained further
that the monthly billing fees charged, when applying for a sewer connection it is the same with
water connection which charges a one-time payment but the cost depends on the physical and
monetary requirements according to the profile of the location, he added that only the
environmental fees are collected while no sewerage fees are charged in a combined system.
In addition, the difficulties assessed on implementing the sewerage systems were (1) setting up
the connection, and (2) the operations of the sewerage systems. Mr. Mark Mulingbayan of MWCI
explained that in the process of setting up a connection, they experience difficulties on the actual
execution on the ground due to long process of securing permits (e.g. excavation permits,
building permits) from the local governments, coordination for the traffic plans, acquisition of land
(e.g. right of way for the lines), and that LGUs are one of the biggest pain points when executing
sewerage plans for the reason that LGUs do not want people to dig, excavate and install lines
within their territories. While for the operations, the difficulties identified were mostly in the
combined systems than in separate systems. In the combined system, the operators monitor if
there are solid wastes trapped in the drainage system, this sternly affects the interceptor boxes
causing loss of flow which leaves operators with no options but to manually remove the solid
wastes in order to allow the continuous movement of the waste water.
The “Department of Water”
Mr. Mario Macatangay of MWSS Regulatory Office raised that the SDG clean water and
sanitation goal involves a wide variation of agencies to perform different responsibilities which
have resulted to a fragmented Wastewater and Water sector in the country. With this, a
government agency in a cabinet level (Department of Water) should be formed to mandate and
oversee the implementation of more structured direct plans and regulations for the sector. Without
the apex body of the water sector, MWSS alone has limited mandate coverage for Metro Manila
and parts of Rizal and Cavite, while coverage of LWUA’s obligations are on the more than 500
water districts that supplies most of the municipalities and cities, and has no mandate to collect
and treat waste water; these water service providers are obliged according to their Certificate of
Public Convenience (CPC) issued by the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) to provide
water services only. Other LGUs outside the coverage of MWSS and LWUA that are in need for
water supply, sanitation and sewerage would then tend to rely on their individual resources. With
this situation, the creation of the Department of Water is highly recommended by the MWSS in
order to demolish fragmentation of the sector.
6
Usec. Ipat Luna added that the creation of an apex body for the water sector is included in the
Philippine Development Plan (PDP). She views that the apex body will be the source of the
regulated procedures, reforms, and rates.
Financing Issues for STP’s
One of the main issues on sanitation investment is the setting up of the sewage collection system
due to expensive facilities (4 times the cost of the water supply system) which may possibly make
a huge impact on water tariff. Water treatment facilities, lift stations and others that are actively
consuming energy contribute to more expenditure which in return is collected as tariffs from the
consumers. Another problem perceived is the acceptance of the community to be charged for
sanitation. Water supply can be easily charged since a consumer gains tangible benefit directly,
on the other hand, it would be a challenge to charge for environmental protection because it is
perceived that there are no direct benefits to be earned by the consumer or the community.
MWSS Regulatory Office pointed out that there should be a campaign on environmental
protection to promote awareness and acceptance of sanitation facilities be built and charged as
added costs to the community or rather take part from the taxes of the people.
Furthermore, if the government will not be able to fund the STPs at present, it will only cause
further delayment. The implementation of STPs should be prioritized with regards to project
funding allocations instead of setting it aside and prioritizing other less important projects.
Boracay Island Sewerage Management
The major concerns with Boracay’s Sewage Management System are the wrecked pipelines and
drainage systems with high degree of coliform bacteria resulting to fecal contamination with high
potential for acquiring diseases; although Boracay is perceived to have low open defecation but
animal feces excreted on the streets also contribute to drainage fecal coliform. DENR is assigned
to be the lead agency of Boracay Island in terms of Sewage Management, according to their
assessment, about 5% of the households and commercial establishments are connected to the
STPs. Thus, DENR is identifying if applying the “Plumbing Law” or Republic Act No. 1378 would
help improve the current situation.
Furthermore, Boracay will need to have an authority in order to facilitate the improvement of the
pollution it is undergoing, which is currently being evaluated by the lawmakers to enact a law to
create the Boracay Development Authority. And with Boracay’s high revenue during the period of
its prominence, plans for developments can be implemented with its existing funds. In line with
the opportunity to the development of sewage management, Usec. Luna cited the importance of
Urban Food Print in relation to the financial plan.
Moreover, Engr. Noel Ortigas was involved in the planning design and the construction
supervision of Boracay sewerage lines; he shared a background on the Boracay Water and
Sewerage System (BWSS) managed by Manila Water Company. He cited two issues the project
encountered, (1) this project should have considered the solid waste component but had been
overlooked by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and (2) the Yapak area of Boracay
Island had not been covered by the sewerage system of the BWSS but was connected to a
separate STP. The Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) mandated the project upon its
commencement, and LWUA was also involved thus the creation of the Malay Water District
(MWD); the PTA and MWD helped out the LGUs to form an operating unit accompanied by the
consultants until 2005. Constructing a sewerage system is costly, as a result, the consultants
initially thought of generating a combined sewerage system, but since the government will be
funding the project, they opted for the separate sewerage system and subsequently implemented
the policy that if an individual wishes to connect on the water supply system, they are required to
tap into the sewerage system as well. After 2005, an official report stated that a drainage plan for
Boracay have existed by then. When the services of Manila Water are already procured for the
Boracay Water, there had been no consultations done from EDCOP, National Government Sector
(NGS), nor Sutton and East Surrey (SES) Water. Engr. Ortigas pointed out that the effects of
what happened after their term in 2005 have just shown several months ago, when Boracay
Island had been closed.
7
Inter-Agency Collaboration
According to Engr. Gerry Mogol, the Department of Health (DOH) has come up with a Joint
Administrative Order (JAO) for their different programs wherein the roles of the involved agencies
are defined. For the Health Care Waste Management Program, they have identified DOH, DENR
and included the LGU (as the sanitation implementer). While in the case of Sewerage System,
DOH is assessing their partnering agencies which are DPWH responsible for the sewerage
system cumbiance planning and DENR as the effluent quality regulator, with the Sanitation Code
and Clean Water Act as these agencies guide, the execution of sanitation plan can be of fewer
complications.
In addition, DOH has set their standards for sanitation technology, naming the Pit Privy as the
minimum standard for non-water carriage communities, while properly designed septic tank with
regular desludging (3-5 years) for areas with water supply. The alternative sanitation technologies
and set of standards for sanitation facilities with basis of the laboratory analyses will be published
by the DOH soon.
In terms of financing with regards to achieving SDG-6 in the Asia Pacific Region, every nation will
need a hundred billion dollars per year until 2030, according to Mr. Mark Mulingbayan of Manila
Water; 16% of the hundred billion dollars can be provided by the funding agencies—World Bank
and Asian Development Bank (ADB) while the 84% will be funded by the private owners. Due that
government agencies of the countries along the Asia-Pacific Region are allocating funds for
different programs aside from Sewerage and Sanitation, these countries will face the challenge of
providing the full budget required of a hundred billion dollars for sanitation alone. To answer the
problem of acquiring the said budget, the governments need to tap the private sectors; also
requiring the need to learn of the private owners to learn how to borrow from the banks and that
banks will also need to learn how to lend to the public utilities with long term repayment schemes.
The water sector needs to know how to borrow from the commercial banks, the process of
learning to borrow and lend are the components to be considered in financing the sector.
Aside from financing, the human capital requirement is also a constituent; the country lacks
professionals in the water sector especially for sanitation to address the difficulties. The young
individuals nowadays must already be exposed to the water situation to encourage them into
pursuing environment and sanitation courses. As said by Director Rodora Gamboa, education for
the sector is essential thus it should be included in the capacity development plans to produce the
required professionals. One of the initiated activities of Maynilad Water, in partnership with
different universities, a select few of junior high school students were immersed in Maynilad to
embed into their awareness that they need to take up water and sanitation courses in college;
teachers were also trained with water and wastewater consultations. The following year, more
students enrolled in courses related to wastewater due to their willingness to concentrate in
contributing support to improve the current sanitation situation. Director Gamboa eagerly
suggested producing a capacity development framework or roadmap as well.
Involvement of DPWH
The largest amount of fund DPWH have allocated for a project is 250 million per year and about
50% of the said amount is good for one sewerage project according to Engr. Alexander Castro;
nevertheless DPWH is looking into doing more infrastructure projects of sanitation and sewerage.
He added that engineers of the Bureau of Construction (BOC) and Bureau of Design (BOD) have
the capabilities and are knowledgeable but due that DPWH’s focus is not on sewerage and
septage, engineers of DPWH in general will definitely need trainings on sewerage and septage.
Engr. Tecson then suggested to the DPWH to conduct a sector study specifically on sewerage to
understand how to analyze the costs involved and budget management of their programs—
including capacity building.

Liability of Water Districts on Wastewater Management
Engr. Catalino Jose of Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) revealed that Water Districts
(WDs) are already aware of their roles on wastewater management; the problem is that the WDs
are not taking any actions yet. LWUA on the other hand is not mandated to punish their
subsidiaries—WDs, unless otherwise the chapter particular to LWUA under the Presidential
Decree (P.D.) 198 will be revised from originally created as Government Funding Institution (GFI)
wherein LWUA is in authority on policies for loan repayment. Since its foundation, LWUA has
vested entirely of its time on water supply before the issuance of mandamus to carry out
sanitation; although LWUA is in its early stage on sanitation, the administration is doing
everything to implement. Engr. Jose revealed that Administrator Jeci Lapus is allocating funds on
2019 amounting to 2 billion for the implementation of feasibility studies on sanitation and another
1 billion for water quality which is for treatment. The foreseen problem on the financing side is that
even if LWUA has funds but no takers, the budget will not be dispersed. But if there will be takers,
the sanitation will be implemented for the reason that there will be a committee in charge of taking
care of the program. With regards to their familiarity of the sewerage system, Engr. Jose admitted
that LWUA as well as the operating WDs (and other soon to be created water districts) will still
need to be trained to improve their information on the sector.
Engr. Tecson wrapped all the issues and complications the agencies are encountering, it gave the
impression that sanitation has just taken place in terms of financing, capacity development, training
the workers and professionals. Without the one of other, sanitation will not be pulled a step closer to
its objectives. With this, he concluded that these concerns are a huge task for sanitation.
IV. CLOSING PROGRAM

Engr. Tecson facilitated the end of the program by giving each of the guests the chance to speak their
piece about what actions they think should be prioritized; the microphone was then passed around to
let the guests be heard. Followed by the closing remarks by the MWSS' OIC, Mr. Ramon Fabul.
5.1 Open Forum
From Manila Water Company, Mr. Romulo Samia, Jr. said that when drainage projects are being
conducted, there should already be integrations on sanitation to avoid redundancies in the
planning process. Mr. Mulingbayan recommended to articulate first the overall goal of these
projects. He hopes that the different agencies would appreciate their individual goals. He also
suggested that there should be an established statement of principles that everybody may/can
subscribe to. The concerned people should put in a probation and recognition that roadmaps are
an evolution process. He added that gaps should be addressed. Mr. Paulo Serias said that
operational planning especially enforcement should be considered.
The problem on the issuance of permits was raised by Mr. Jerry Porma of Maynilad. He said that
this is one of the main reasons why it takes a long time in implementing these sewerage projects.
The issue on subdivision not opting to connect to Maynilad was brought about and a query on
who will mandate these to connect and who to reinforce was disputed.
Executive Director Dora Gamboa said that the problem on the implementation is the relationship
of LGUs with other sectors particularly the government. She emphasized that the Capacity
Development is always an available option, and noted that the level of knowledge on water is
higher than wastewater. So in water it is more on capacity development about expertise
implementation mainly for the young because they already have the idea on water especially now
that DepED wil be providing modules on water. However, wastewater is still in the promotion in
changing the mindset of every individual, especially the young generation; thus encouraging the
youth to work on sanitation.
Mr. Jerry Mogol said mentioned that DOH as the lead agency for sanitation, upon the
implementation of Local Sustainable Sanitation Plans (LSSP) in 2015, it was written in the
provision that DOH should allot 100 to 500 million per year as the budget. He added that the
National Government should invest in sanitation particularly in the basic sanitation, for the reason
9
that if all households have basic sanitation it will be easier to upgrade in septage management
program and sewerage system. With this, the implementation of the sanitation program will
evolve; the utilization of septic tank is at least 30 percent of reduction of pollution load, if the 30
percent can be addressed it will be of big help to reduce the environmental pollution. He added
that in the past 2 years, they have been training the partnered regions and LGUs regarding the
preparation of LSSP and conducting training of NSSMP for the LGU at present. One of the
concerns that Engr. Mogol cited was the difficulty of convincing their superiors who are mostly
doctors, the allocated budget for curative health is in billions, while only a relative amount is
allocated for preventive aspect which costs lower than 50 million. Engr. Mogol would like to
interchange the funding allocation, if the budget for prevention increases then the number of
cases to cure will relatively decrease.
From MWSS Regulatory Office, Engr. Mario Macatangay mentioned that the franchise is limited in
Metro Manila, parts of Rizal and Cavite. If the concessionaire gets out it will be no longer
Maynilad or Manila Water, instead it is special purpose vehicle that will not be using the resources
of Maynilad or Manila Water because the resources supposedly should go back in the consumers
within the franchise. He believes for the needs of having a National Agency for water sector, not
only in the regulation but those who will unify the fragmented aspects. There should be one
department to lead the implementation and to operationalize the Master Plan. Moreover, the
MWSS-RO only regulates the operations of Metro Manila, Rizal and Cavite; while for the
provinces outside Metro Manila it is LWUA that regulates—water rates regulation and other
institutional aspects. And those outside the coverage of LWUA are directed by private service
providers which their mandate is merely to provide water, and not control the wastewater
collection, treatment, and septage management—although those wastewaters are a product of
their supply of water. If the national agency will be created, all these concerns will be supervised.
Engr. Mon Fabul of MWSS CO also explained that the updated business plans and projects of the
concessionaires go through the supervision of MWSS CO for a technical review and the
observations are referred to the regulatory office; therefore the regulatory office will provide
adjustments and evaluations, and monitor the concessionaires’ compliance.
Mr. Catalino Jose of the sanitation unit of LWUA explained that LWUA was created to operate
water service providers formed as Water Districts outside Metro Manila. LWUA solely as a GFI
before had been offered with technical management supports of water supply, the budget was
used for the water projects, while the revenue of water districts were allocated for operational
expenses, income of workers and a percent will be reserved. As sanitation sector has been
introduced, LWUA encountered a number of come ons such as free study or trainings, additional
funds come 2019, and lowered their interest rate so water districts can loan, however, water
districts were not receptive to the implementation of sanitation programs. Aside from LWUA, other
banks can be opted for a percentage of dole out, however, with LWUA’s supposed to be budget
on 2019, if not dispersed then LWUA will have a lot of explaining the following year. With regards
to the business plans, it was already suggested to Engr. Jeci Lapus that they include sanitation
plan in the business plan; another deliverable is the monthly submitted data sheet, for monitoring
purposes of water districts’ progress of their business plans.
Ms. Kay Malilang of DENR wanted to emphasize the issues, one is that the government should
consider spending CAPEX for septage and sewerage and that everything should be
programmatic; DENR was able to speak with different agencies doing infrastructure projects but
the response was not favorable due that DENR was not considered as part of the planning body.
Another is that DENR was removed from the Infra Committee and NEDA Board in October 2017,
although DENR is part of the Manila Bay project, it is a part of the technical working group but not
as part of the decisioning body. A lot of the problems that result from poorly planned infra that
does not contribute to cleaning the water systems could be fixed if there were better planning.
She suggested the use of flowcharts of decision making without using the stamp pad ECC to
interchanging the planning documents with a permit. In the design of projects and programs
concerned with the environment should have a bigger pace.

ENGR. RAMON R. FABUL

Officer-In-Charge Water and Sewerage Department
Emphasizing his need for more knowledge about the water and sanitation sector, Mr. Fabul
adjourned the activity by thanking the participants for their active involvement during the
discussions; and of course, the consultants and facilitators of the RTD for conducting such master
planning activity.
He hopes that there will be more sessions and consultations in the future regarding the discussed
topics.

Some members of the Consulting Team met with Ms. Fe Banluta, Project Manager of the
Water Supply and Sanitation Program Management Office – Office of Project Development
Services (WSSPMO – OPDS), on September 8, 2017 to introduce the Project (Formulation of
PWSSMP), consult regarding the current situation of the sector, and request available
relevant data from the agency. On September 14, 2017, the team followed up on the request
and paid a visit to DILG to gather available data.
Highlights of the meetings and initial data gathering with DILG are shown below:
1. Ms. Banluta gave an updated on Salintubig: the 455 waterless municipalities (WMs) in
2010 are now down to 332 as of 2015. The Team were given this updated list, along
with the information of the 1,353 waterless barangays (WBs).
2. To achieve the 2030 SDG targets, approximately Php 240 Billion (Php 19 B / year) will
have to be invested on the watsan sector.
3. By March 2018, government agencies are going to submit preliminary budget

proposals for the year 2019. Ms. Banluta conveyed that having a ready preliminary
framework or list of investment programs for watsan sector as early as December
2017 would be advantageous and informative as a guide for budget preparation.
4. Ms. Banluta also urged the Consulting Team to also focus on rural areas in the master
plan; they would start small (Level I or II) but would have plans of gradual expansion
up to Level III.
5. They are to share their IWASH Assessment Tools to the Consulting Team.
6. DILG has regional hubs (mostly big/state universities) which they could tap to go
deeper/lower in their respective areas whenever needed.
7. The team is given access to LGU sector plans available in their office with provision of
formal letter of request of data (letter sent on Sept.18). Data gathering and digitizing of
hard copies of sector plans are ongoing.

groundwater management plans of select HUCs, groundwater assessment reports,
and river basin master plans and water resources assessment.
2. The team also requested access to data in Listahang Tubig database. Team is asked
to send formal letter of request along with NEDA’s endorsement in relation to the
Project.
3. The team also consulted with the administrator of Listahang Tubig database to assess
extent of its contained information.
4. Some info about the database system includes:
a. Water utilities (in both public and private sector) register, input and enter in
their operational data in Listahang Tubig. Encoded data will be verified and
endorsed by designated personnel per area.
b. Some utilities’ inputs are substantial and informative, while some are lacking
and bare. Futher confirmation of inputs will still have to be made.
c. Many water service providers are still not registered and have not yet given
their data to the database program.
d. Key performance of indicators of each utility are also automatically computed

by the system depending on the completeness and comprehensiveness of
inputted data.

The following members of the Consulting Team met with the Local Water Utilities
Administration (LWUA) Senior Deputy Administrator Edgardo C. Demayo to introduce the
Project (Formulation of the PWSSMP), and consult regarding updates on the LWUA’s
programs.
Highlights of the meetings and initial data gathering with LWUA include:
1. The LWUA has a new Administrator who recently joined last April 2017. After a few
months in the organization, he has started to radicalize the operations of LWUA and have
implemented already a number of programs to increase access and improve service
delivery. Majority of these programs are directed at C and D categories of WDs,
specifically those that are underdeveloped.
2. In 2017, LWUA is implementing a program amounting to PhP 2.2 Billion to revive and
start-up at least 74 non-operational WDs, provide funds to put up 500 service connections
per WD. The budget has been approved and they are now waiting for the Special
Allotment Release Order (SARO) so implementation can start.
3. An investment study to develop 600 municipalities not yet covered by WDs is also being
undertaken under the new administration.
4. LWUA in order to be more competitive in the market and extend its access to the least
developed and non-creditworthy WDs has decreased interest rates to a maximum of 4%.
With is available internally generated cash of PhP 5 Billion, it says that it is able to cover
the decrease in interest rates.
5. It also implemented a program that requires all WDs to submit business plans to support
any investment proposal. As there are WDs that are not able to submit business plans, an
extension was allowed to enable them to prepare business plans until next year.

16. Meng Abarquez Community Participation Specialist, TE PH
17. Pauline Palacio Project Coordinator, TE PH
18. Cheska Tiñga Project Assistant, TE PH
The highlights of the meeting include:
1. An overview of the project was presented, wherein the master plan will be different from
the previous master plans since this will include a roadmap, investment program, and an
implementable financing plan. The investment program will be for the short-, medium-,
and long-term. Note that this will not be a new roadmap, but the 2010 edition will be
revisited, and verify whether assumptions are still applicable. Unlike the previous
studies, the team will ensure to make the process more participatory, through the
regional workshops.
2. The objective of the masterplan is to assist the government in achieving water targets
according to the Philippine Development Plan and Sustainable Development Goals.
3. It is very clear that the objective of the master plan is to help the government, including
stakeholders and agencies to achieve the targets of water supply and sanitation based
1
on the Philippine Developmental Plan targets for 2022 and the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG) for 2030.
4. There is a need to define safe and affordable drinking water, and adequate and
equitable sanitation. There are two existing definitions for improved water supply and
sanitation, WHO JMP and the PSA definitions. The team will be adapting the PSA
definition. The team will verify the initial data of 95% safe water supply, and 97% basic
sanitation data.
 Question from Sir Peanuts: “How will the team verify the baseline data? Does
improved water supply mean that households will all have Level III connections?”
 Improved water supply could mean an improvement from level 1 to level 2, or level 2 to
3. This will still be defined over the course of data gathering and verification. The team
will discuss if preference should be given to areas with existing connections, or focus
on assisting identified waterless municipalities.
5. There is a need to define the term “universal.”
6. We are using the term “Mega Manila.”
*** Courtesy of Ms. Dora – she will share the data of Listahang Tubig per water district to
the team.
7. The output is to have a master plan – a document that will map out the overall strategy
for increasing access and improving service delivery.
The team will be guided by 4 indicators:

 Access – refers to the coverage
 Service Level – refers to the quality, type, reliability of service
 Sustainability – refers to the sustainability of service in relation to climate change;
sustainability in water resources; water security
 Financial Viability
8. The objective is to come up with regional master plans because we cannot plan at the
national level without engaging the Local Governments, without knowing what is
happening at their regions. We will use bottom-up approach in formulating the master
plan. So, the team will be conducting 16 regional workshops.
*** Suggestion from Ms. Fe: Extend an invitation to some Academes and Universities.
DILG has already organized HUBS in Region 6 and they are active.
 Question: “When you say Sector Assessment, what is the coverage of Sector
Assessment?”
“Water Supply Sanitation, CCADRR – these are the output of water from SDGF. DILG
have tools developed and what they are doing now is that the HUBS will do the
 assessment. Their requirement is that each municipality should have plan and
supposedly it will integrate it in provincial level.”
*** Ms. Fe will provide the directory of the HUBS.

 Question from Ms. Joanne: “Within those targets, which of those targets will be
addressed issues related to water resources?”
2
“The sustainability issues – it is more of water security / water supply. The Water
Resources Study/Roadmap is being spear-headed by Secretary Ordonez”
9. Why have the LGU-led water utilities not performed well?
9.1. From Sir Art: The best run water utilities are water districts.
- LWUA had a very good institutional development program – they have a team of
advisors, they visit the province once or twice a month in the 70s.
- The water districts did not get a loan outright; prepare early action works and then when
you’re capable you apply for the loan later on; collection enforcement and realistic tariff;
- Water districts are heavily subsidized; no motivation running water districts because they
get their salaries anyway; it is completely divorced from politics;
- Water districts that succeeded are at an arm’s length with the government; appointment
is by politician – if water district is performing well the powers that will be not rock the
boat, politicians will not dare;
- LWUA institutional development bring it back and close monitoring like once a month;
the step-in rights by LWUA is good because it works for the benefit of the water district
*** For example, political interference; Cabanatuan immediately became viable with the
assistance of LWUA. Given a loan only in 1980 after they prove they can manage a
loan; 5,000 service connection will make water districts viable, lower than that will be
difficult; less than this do not put up a water district. It is indicated in the PD 918 that the
population is 20,000.
9.2. Some example – less connections but they have good management; The LWUA’s close
monitoring helped.
9.3. Davao City’s water district – number 5 in the beginning. Staff had no capacity in the
beginning. LWUA had no institutional capacity building at that time so, LWUA sent to
other countries for study visit.
9.4. Ms. Fe: LGU water utilities has 2 hats:

- LGU as the decision makers in the entire municipality;
- LGU as a utility
10. What reforms have been undertaken and have they been successful in addressing
the issues/challenges?
10.1. Model that work – Nueva Vizcaya, Bohol; to what extent is it dependent on
management? Management is key. Ring fence, good management, technical capacity,
political will for the leadership to implement.
10.2. DILG – address all Levels I, II, and III; it has big portfolio. Regional hubs created to
respond to demand. DILG also fill in the gaps. How can regional hubs be sustainable –
have their own resources – from the GAA. Pockets of poor communities to have access
to water.
11. What needs to be done?
11.1. Less than 20,000 population – in rural areas – DILG Level II is to be scaled up to
Level III; LGUs want to manage and follow the standards; DILG follows the LWUA
model. Operating in areas with no water districts.
3
11.2. SALINTUBIG - some money of Salintubig is given to LWUA for waterless barangays;
BUB – some connected to water districts and this is one option of the LGU.
 DILG Waterless Municipalities: originally 455 (in 2010), 36 waterless municipalities

(MDG program), 167 graduated, but additional 44 municipalities were added. 2015 – 288
waterless municipalities only + 44 additional waterless municipalities So now, there are
332 total waterless municipalities.
 Give money of government to water district so that they can provide water to waterless
barangays
 In far flung areas, need separate systems;
 Public service – LGU run; not viable
 (ADM) Assistance to Disadvantaged Municipalities (2017) – to become (AM) Assistance
to Municipalities (2018).
*** From Sir Peanuts – Private Sector: “Too many small water service providers and we may be
adding up – what we are doing now should be prepared to amalgamate, economies of scale.
Small system depends on deep well; need surface water to be maximized.
Bulk water and small water service providers for distribution – epira law; consolidate the system
more efficient; source developer needs big capital. For the private, the regulator is critical.
Regulators temper the appetite for profit.”

5. Nestor Evangelista
6. Rosemarie Marquez
7. Evelyn Orda
8. Cheska Tiñga
The highlights of the meetings include:
1. Water is oftentimes used as a political tool; and “independence” is needed in most

municipal water utilities to ensure that water is viewed as an economic tool.
2. Mr. Demayo: “Privatize everything.” But there are no takers.

Suggestion: Give them the public money and let them bring it to the community and let
them organize.
3. Suggestion: Size up your market group: From 1st class to 5th class municipalities; you
also have tourist destination/gateways. Somebody should take care of this segment
and this can be offered to the private sector.
4. LWUA needs to operationalize more than 200 functional water districts. LWUA said
that they will fix water districts with low coverage and they will also create more water
districts. Their function is the regulation under PPP.
5. Dir. Planta said that they need to issue additional guidelines asap to review the PPP
proposals.
6. International financing institutions appear to await for the Unified Financing Framework
before embarking anew on water and sanitation programs.
1
7. Review and assess existing rules and regulations of government institutions and work
on improving these instead of creating new ones.
8. NEDA: They are thinking what can be implemented without requiring a bill to be
passed; they will have a Mother Executive Order.
9. Further to the previous observation, it appears that rather than creating a new bill and
passing a more appropriate law on water and sanitation, the more practical approach
is through an Executive Order to expedite implementation of watsan projects and
achieve institutional reforms.

Highlights of the meeting:

1. Joint Venture means that both parties will take place and cooperate. The criteria are
vague and generic. The team should define clearly what Joint Venture is and take
over.
a. In Joint Venture, E.O. 68 is more applicable.
2. The contract of the team is to establish a Master Plan. Factors that the team should
resolve are the Executive Orders (EO), specifically E.O. 68, Series of 1999 and E.O. 8,
Series of 2010.
a. The team can cite the two Executive Orders in the Master Plan and identify what
is more practical among the two.
3. According to LGU, it is stated in their mandate that they can operate a water utility, but
Admin. Lapus said that their mandates should ensure that somebody is there to
provide water.
a. Why do they like water? Because they are accountable for the money, they can
use the money – they do not have accountability. Also, they do not have
accountability on water quality.
4. Question: In the next 5 years, does LWUA have the capability to create additional
Water District? To operate those non-operating Water Districts? “We create Water
1
Districts; the Mayor appoints the Directors of the Water Districts, then they hire people
to man the Water District.”
5. LWUA’s Mandate is the delivery of safe drinking water to the waterless at an

affordable price.
a. DILG somewhat agreed that Level-III utilities will be handled by LWUA.
However, Admin. Lapus already told them that the budget for the said utility is
with them.
b. The problem is that some agencies are grabbing opportunities because of
financial matters– they don’t have accountability in money, but the main
problem is that they don’t have sustainability.
c. Issue: They politicize utility. Admin. Lapus’ suggestion for all utilities – power,
water and transport, should be all government-owned because the government
provides subsidy.
d. There should be two (2) sectors in water – irrigation and power; human
consumption
e. 500 Million dollars grant intended for water shed development under Japanese
contractor.
6. Avoid getting involved with LGU because the appointed authority could be
replaced every three (3) years. It should be the National Agency who will handle
and they would just need to look at the mandate.
a. LWUA’s mandate is under the Presidential Decree 198 (PD 198)
7. LWUA: Program under water quality for the water district – we visit every water district
and we test because every kind of water has its own cure.
8. LWUA: Water District model is working but there are few LGUs that are not convinced.
Question: What action can you do to convince them into becoming a water district or
do you have any plans?
a. The DILG should be responsible of convincing and conversing with the LGUs.
b. The team should take note of the sustainability of providing safe drinking water.
The agency that would handle should not be the LGU, because it will be a
term-basis.
9. The problem when dealing with the LGU is that it becomes political. When the team is
trying to make a research, avoid from dealing politically. Also, the appointing authority
should be removed from LGU; there should be one regulatory body per water.
10. Admin. Lapus foresees that by the year 2022, there are 200 additional Water Districts
in all municipalities. In the same year, the sector will be catering to about 25 million.

The meeting was conducted to gather information from DOH on its current programs,
initiatives, and activities pertaining to sanitation and environmental health in general.
1. There is current emphasis on water quality; especially in the SDG reporting

2. SDG criteria for safe water is that it should be within the premises/piped water,
available 24/7 (availability, reliability), and void of contaminants (quality).
3. Approved Source – protected source
4. At the LGU, the responsible entity is the Water Quality Monitoring Committee and or
the City or Municipal Health Officer
5. What is the ideal frequency of WQ testing for reporting: L1 – quarterly, L3 – monthly,
L2 – not part of SDG
6. With new SDG definition, 2 levels of reporting, basic sanitation and safely managed
7. Improved sanitation – safely treated or buried and not shared
8. WHO has funds for SDG orientation, WQ, WASH
9. SDG 6.1, 6.2 (domestic) through PSA APIS questionnaire; to be implemented 1st
quarter of 2018
10. SDG 6.3 (domestic, commercial, industrial, institutional) how to collect data (DOH,
DENR?? Septage, sewerage??)
11. Included in the survey form since July 2017, with training, for nationwide
implementation by 1st quarter of 2018 (April – testing of questionnaire, July to Sept –
training of enumerators)
12. Old definition (Pre-SDG) – Sanitary toilet (with septic tank, individual, not shared) and
Unsanitary toilet (may be individual and shared but not compliant)
13. Under Disease Prevention Bureau: Environment-related Diseases Division (sanitation
in general, drinking water safety, food safety, and climate change) and Occupation-
related Diseases Division
14. Other units involved in sanitation: Epidemiological Bureau (disease outbreak, health
emergency – natural and man-made diseases, environment-related diseases), Health
Promotion, Bureau of Health Facilities and Devices (water devices- product
registration, water refilling stations, bottling companies, any water-related products)
15. It’s not the mandate of DOH to do infrastructure but it can conduct trainings like the
use of septage manual to help groups to comply with DOH regulations which can
touch on how to build out the infrastructure
16. Effluent remains to be the concern of EMB; question is if effluent standards are
environment-related or even health-related?
1
17. DOH is supervising areas like beaches, lakes, coastlines, etc.

18. Sanitation Safety Plan – Manual being piloted; WHO assisting the Philippines for WDs
in LGUs, malls, private; ADB helping with the pilots in the Philippines for WDs and
Utilities– contributes to SDG goal of safely managed
19. OD program (toilet program by LGU; toilet with disposal/septic tank)
20. Evolving roles: DOH – compliance to regulation, DENR – effluent monitoring, DPWH –
facilities, systems, and DILG – regulation orientation
21. WHO wants to raise the issue of water/wastewater laboratory in the country to pursue
water quality; there is no current program in DOH, what it has is DOH accreditation of
laboratory (clustering may be an approach that can be used)
22. Current training being proposed now is the training of LGUs on the updated PNSDW
(site-specific parameters which is risk-based approach – 10 mandatory parameters +
others specific and relevant to the LGUs
23. Provincial WATSAN Council – sustainability??
24. Improve monitoring, environmental scanning to address 2030 increased population,
water scarcity, need for new approaches, technologies, proxy indicators

Meeting with Metropolitan
Waterworks and Sewerage
System
MINUTES OF MEETING
Ref No : MOM_021
From : Jay Tecson

Subject : Minutes of Meeting with Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System

The meeting was conducted to gather information from MWSS-RO on its current programs,
initiatives, and activities pertaining to sanitation and WSS regulation in general.
1. Regulatory reports from concessionaires for sanitation cover targets set and served in
terms of households, septic tanks, accounts, and population. A multiplier is used to
translate accounts/households/septic tanks to population.
2. Ideally, an annual target for desludging is about 20% of service area (those connected
to the water/billing system of the concessionaires) but maybe lower since service
period is from 5 to 7 years, based on the concession agreement.
3. Waiver is signed by household representative if they are deferring the service for any
reason; this is compiled by the concessionaire and submitted to RO as part of the
documentation of “served” population.
4. For other fees and charges by the concessionaire, these are now being reviewed by
RO to see if these are within acceptable practice and costs. These are charges for
special desludging service for off-schedule, additional, and for other services to be
rendered by the concessionaire.
5. So for septage management (sanitation) and sewerage (combined and separate), the
indicator that needs to be met is the number of population served which is reported in
different units and conditions (no. of accounts, households with waiver,
unconstrained/constrained, etc.)
6. Treated wastewater effluent quality which is being regulated by DENR using standards
based on the prevailing water quality of the receiving water body. But effluent quality
lab results are also reported to RO.
7. Even for combined and separate sewerage system, septage collection services is still
being done since the septic tank is still part of the system. The indicator being
measured here is also population served.
8. The 2008 Manila Bay mandamus drove a lot of reform actions to meet the
requirements of the mandamus. This also gave rise for the need to extend the
concession to 2037 to address high capital requirement of the improved services
demanded from the concessionaires.
9. The last rebasing period is 2011-2016, also corresponds to the 5-year cycle for
desludging (unless the concessionaires called for 7-year desludging period). New
targets will be set for 2017.
10. The concession agreements for until 2037 include population targets and facilities to
be built.
1
11. The Customer Service Department of RO is the one that validates randomly the
reported accomplishments of the concessionaires and collects complaints from
customers if any. While the technical regulation department handles standards for
water and wastewater activities.
12. Cites case between Manila Water and Cainta where they signed an agreement where
Cainta invested on trucks to do the desludging themselves and pay tipping fee to
MWCI for the treatment component. A partnership MOA was made to instruct on how
fees will be charged and what the roles of the parties would be.
13. Take-up rate for desludging for both concessionaires is estimated at less than 40%
and there are various reasons for the low rate.
14. There is a current move to institutionalize a rewards system stemming out from the
savings that are produced from NRW reduction wherein 50% of the savings will accrue
to public and the other 50% to the utility.
15. Another case for rewards and incentives is maybe Subic Water.
16. Since combined sewerage system works on the existing drainage lines, there is a
question as to who is responsible for maintaining or repairing the drainage lines and
who will manage the solid waste entering the drainage lines.
17. Another reform that they want to incorporate is to waive the fees accruing to customers
to account for costs in connecting to the sewerage system and that these fees be
absorbed by the concessionaires.
18. In a study made and echoed in an ADB workshop in LWUA, the problem with
combined sewerage system is the low system return flow based on the (calculated)
theoretical return flow established in the design; around 75% return flow for system
using good drainage system and about 55% for others especially poor drainage
system.
19. In some instances, volume of flow is much greater than computed maximum flow in an
area indicating that rain water and other liquids are entering the system which means
that the poor condition of the drainage line is causing infiltration.
20. So in terms of Septage Management/Sanitation Services, the covered population is
100% and should be maintained that way until the concession ends in 2037, meaning
septage collection and treatment is available to 100% of the population of the areas
covered by the concession agreement but this represents only those who are
connected to the concession’s water supply system.
21. For sewerage systems, only those population covered by an interceptor system and
treatment plant should be considered served, again they are supposed to be hooked
up in the drainage line or separate sewerage system and an active customer of the
concessionaire.
22. Organizational chart of RO shows five departments under the Chief Regulator –
technical, financial, customer service and admin/legal affairs, and public information.
See scanned chart.
23. Some of the reasons cited for the low take up rate for the septage collection are some
septic tanks are not standard and therefore not needing desludging, improvements on
the houses/buildings where septic tanks are now covered and part of the house, lack
of or low in information, and no national campaign.

Meeting with ARMM-REDPB
Meeting Notes
Presentation to the REDPB – ARMM
March 20, 2018
RPDO Building, Cotabato City
Sir Noel made the presentation past 1pm over lunch.
Way Forward for the PWSSMP Regional Planning Workshop.
As agreed,
 PWSSMP project team will hold provincial consultation.

(Program design for the consultations needed. Perhaps done in clusters – BASULTA for
one, Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur, second.)
 A LWUA representative to be invited to each of the provincial consultation. If not,
we can hold a regional meeting with LWUA present.
(This is a personal request from the Regional Governor stemming out the current issues
between the water districts and LGU’s in the ARMM. But, it’s not only LWUA’s role which
has to clarified and put forward to ARMM. Roles of DILG, DOH (whose ARMM secretary
appeared surprised that DOH is taking the lead in Sanitation Programs) and all the other
agencies with mandates for the water and sanitation sector(s) have to be made known
likewise.
 Technical specialist to assist the province and Tawi-tawi prepare the masterplan
and FS.
(Another request coming from the Governor and from the representatives of Tawi-tawi.
There’s this P 200 M fund for Tawi-tawi’s water supply system supposedly to be
implemented by the LGU/Water District and DPWH ARMM, but funds were transferred to
LWUA. The project did not push through. So the need is for both clarification and I would
say, an update/validation of the original concept and probably the drawings already
prepared.)
 The need for a regional conference on Water and Sanitation. The Governor appears
amenable to this (Water Summit for ARMM), but only after the Provincial Consultations
when site specific and specific provincial issues have surfaced.
Key Points:
o Institutional strengthening is needed

o Lead Agency for Water and Sanitation in ARMM (a Champion) – should this be
RPDO?
o Would the big brother model with the large and performing Water Districts in
Mindanao work (Cotabato, Zamboanga)
o Two important concerns: Water – Sustainability
Sanitation - Awareness
Page 1 of 3
Discussion:
 Like the other parts of the country, ARMM has a big problem. 52% of the population has
access to clean water aggravated by lack of sanitary waste water treatment. There are
areas with no source of clean water. The region’s leading case of morbidity is water borne
diseases.
Sanitation roadmaps and masterplan exist. But there is no there is no updated roadmap
from the grassroot. PWSSMP is starting the bottoms-up approach to master planning.
In the Sanitation meeting in Manila, DOH central committed to lead the sanitation
campaign.
 Can we come up with a master plan based on analysis and expert opinion? Some areas
in ARMM have no groundwater. Maguindanao has so much water, can we utilize that to
give water to all communities? Water borne diseases are found in flooded areas. People
get water from unsafe sources.
 Gov. Hataman said that it will be good if LWUA is present. Noel explained why LWUA
Administrator is unable to come. The Governor mentioned that Tawi-tawi has project with
LWUA, some 3 years ago. This was a project requested by the province, approved by
Pres. Aquino to be implemented by LWUA. They wanted to know what happened to the
project.
 The Governor also commented that some managers of water districts are more powerful
than the board. Sometimes LWUA is ‘astig’ referring to their lack of coordination with the
LGUs. LGUs become concerned when there is no water. There are many policy questions
that have to be settled with LWUA.
 Is there a local government managing water utility. All ARMM provinces have water
projects. Maguindanao has 15 municipalities and has 15m for budget. The 1st and 2nd
districts of Sulu also have projects on community faucet.
Tagbiliran City Waterworks (???) in Bohol was started by the province until it entered into
a joint venture with the private sector. Studies show many LGU run managed water
utilities have no good performance indicators. They have high NRW and spending ratio is
over 60% because they cannot collect payments. Regulation is a problem both economic
and resource regulations are missing.
 ARMM government is not deputized to issue permit for water use.

 Tawi-tawi has the most problematic distribution of water supply. Now it’s more
progressive. There are developments in Bongao for example but there is no water. The
LGU invited the team to their island to look at the water in the island. The team is welcome
anytime.
Meng to organize the workshops in the provinces.
 LGUs do not know what is happening to the water districts. Water district is
independent but LGU is concerned when there are problems with water. Maluso
receives funding from the government for expansion. They have profit but there is
no expansion.
 The planning workshop was postponed. What is the status now?
Page 2 of 3
Recommendations:
 Focus on the province. Also address policy questions. LWUA has to be present
during the consultation.
 Governor Hataman: The issue raised by DPWH is water quality. There are too
many issues in ARMM – from policy issues, basic questions by the LGUs. Focus
in each province. Prioritize provincial consultation. Policy questions can be done
at the regional level together. Preferably, with LWUA representative during the
provincial consultation. Help with the masterplan and the FS.

Subject : Minutes of the Meeting with DILG-WSSPMO

Meeting with DILG-WSSPMO
The meeting with DILG-WSSPMO was held last June 06, 2018 at the 11th floor of the DILG-
NAPOLCOM building which started at 9:00 am and lasted until 11: 00 am.
The meeting was held to discuss about the iWaSH target municipalities, which can be used as
a business case in the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan, as well as to be
updated on DOH, DILG and LWUA distribution of works about LGUs without water districts.
The meeting was attended by the following:
PWSSMP Team DILG - WSSPMO

Noel M. Ortigas Fe Crisilla Banluta
Jay Tecson Roger Ocampo
Edward Cruz
Elisa Cruz
Danna Valdez
Fiona Porras
Highlights of the Meeting:
1. DILG Relationship with ARMM

Before there were SALINTUBIG Projects in ARMM, but because they are considered
autonomous, ILG had to create a MOA with the region to be able to provide the funding.
Due to problems such as unliquidated funds, the downloading of the budget for ARMM
slowed down. However during the Marawi Siege, the SALINTUBIG funds were tapped to
provide assistance to three regions namely, Region 9, 10 and 12. They were given 78
million to rehabilitate their areas.
2. DILG and LWUA jurisdiction on waterless municipalities with and without Water
Districts
LWUA should operationalize first all the non-operational water districts before reaching out
to waterless municipalities under DILG jurisdiction.
1
3. Local Government Support Fund (LGSF)

This is given by the national government to LGUs to supplement the IRA for infrastructure
programs. Water supply and basic sanitation are included in the menu of projects however;
septage and sewerage are not included in it.
4. NBM 129 and DBM Circular Letter 2018-05

These are passed to strengthen the vertical linkage between national and regional/local
government development plans and budgets. All proposed programs/projects will now be
culled from sectoral plans, to be incorporated in the Local Development Plan which is passed
unto the Provincial Development Plans and later on included in the Regional Priority List of
Projects. There are six (6) major agencies involved enlisted as follows and which
projects/programs they support.
 DOH – Health Facilities Enhancement Program
 DA – Farm-to-Market Roads
 DILG – Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat Program
 NIA – Communal Irrigation System
 LWUA – Level III Water Supply System
 DPWH – Local Roads and Bridges Programs
Some pertinent information gathered from DILG are attached in this MOM.
5. DILG Suggestion for Water Supply and Sanitation Sector

According to DILG, they are proposing that water supply and sanitation access to be included
in the requirements for municipalities to be awarded the Seal of Good Local Governance
(SGLG). As well as to create a program wherein the coverage area and access of water
service providers in the country can be monitored. Another proposal for LGU run water utilities
is to appoint a person to run the utility rather than the Municipal Engineer.
6. Role of DILG in the PWSSMP

The position of being the “clearinghouse” of the government for projects and capacity
development agency for Local Government Units was offered to DILG.
7. DILG Business Case Plan

DILG discussed about the MOA between three (3) municipalities in Samar for water supply
and sanitation. These are the municipalities of Calbiga, Villareal and Pinabacdao. The said
municipalities are looking for help on how their institutional set-up. Calbiga has a water district
and is willing to provide water for Villareal and Pinabacdao because they do not have good
water sources. Aside from this, their MOA also tackled septage/sewerage, this is because the
water quality in their bay has affected the shellfishes which is a source of livelihood in the
municipality.

1.0 Opening Session
Different sectors involved in the management of the

water sources of the Philippines were invited to the
First Consultative Meeting and the project launch of
the formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and
Sanitation Master Plan. Attendees consisted of
national government agencies, private sectors and
funding institutions. The programme was started with
a prayer and the National Anthem led by Mr. Jose
Serafin Tecson, the principal sanitation specialist from
Tractebel Inc.
The Welcome Address was delivered by Engineer

Roderick Planta, Director of the National Economic
and Development Authority (NEDA) Infrastructure
Staff. He started his speech by recognizing the

the Philippines (EDCOP), Tractebel Inc., and Orient
Integrated Development Consultants, Inc. (OIDCI), the group that will implement the
formulation of the PWSSMP.
The director highlighted the key pressing issues

and problems within the water sector. He
mentioned the numerous families that still have
no access to water supply and the municipalities
found in the poorest provinces that are still
waterless and households that do not have
access to basic sanitation. He stressed that these
issues have been discussed and deliberated time
and time again and there are new things we
should expect in the new water and sanitation
master plan.
Director Planta mentioned success factors which

he believes will make a difference. Included are
the active participation of the different

Welcome Address. agencies/organizations, the integration of water
supply and sanitation into one masterplan, the
new joint venture team and the hopes of the people for the betterment of the water sector.
The project is also linked to the current thrust of infrastructure build up plans. The PWSSMP
has to include investment programs/projects for short, medium and long term plans of the
LGU’s as this will provide many implementable and well-prepared projects that NEDA can
tap into.

2.0 The Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Overview
The presentation of Ms. Gozun covered

four parts: (i) service coverage for water
supply and sanitation as reported by
PSA; (ii) reforms undertaken to address
the gaps; (iii) service coverage targets
and investments under the PDP and the
SDG; and (iv) key strategies to achieve
water security. To start the session, Ms.
Gozun reminded everyone that only
2.56% of the world’s water is freshwater
and the country has one of the lowest
supply of fresh water per person in SEA
including Japan.
Ms. Elisea ‘Bebet’ Gozun is the Lead Institutional

The MDG target of the government was Specialist of the PWSSMP Project. She was the former
to halve, by 2015, the proportion of Secretary of the DENR from December 13, 2002 to
population without sustainable access August 31, 2004.
to safe drinking water and improved
sanitation. According to the 2014 PSA report, these targets have been achieved with the sanitation
sector even surpassing its target by 10.3%. Still, only 47.7% of families in the country had piped water
into their houses and 14.5 million Filipinos had no access to safe water. There are 22,000 water
service providers nationwide and 79% of this number is unregulated. 89.6% of families have flush
water facility, shared and owned combined. Nevertheless, about 4,200 people die each year due
to contaminated drinking water. Untreated and partially treated sewage continue to seep into the
groundwater and flow from street drains to river.
Concerned government agencies and partners in the water and sanitation sector undertook
various reforms in the areas of regulatory, institutional and financing. The regulatory policy
reforms failed, one because NWRB was not given the resources it needed to carry out its new
responsibilities and the bill to create a national economic regulator for water services failed
because of lack of Congressional support. There is relative success in the area of institutional and
financing as evidenced by 79 credit worthy water districts and increasing access of water utilities
to private debt finance. PPP will need more political support and handholding of water service
providers to go beyond the 50 municipalities these private firms are serving now. Total spending
by the water sector from 2008 to 2012 is Php 83 billion.
The SDG target by 2030 is universal access to safe and affordable drinking water and to adequate
and equitable sanitation. PDP set the target to increase safe water supply from 85.5% to 95% and
to increase access to basic sanitation by 97%. It is targeted that by 2025, 70% of the population will
have Level III connection and the remaining 30% will have access to clean water through Level II
and Level I water service type. Universal sanitation with proper treatment and disposal is
characterized by increasing septage and sewerage systems. Target population to have septic tanks
with proper emptying, treatment of disposal of sludge is set at 74% and sewerage system at 16%.
Projected total investment for the period 2015 – 2030 is Php 325.5 billion.

Ms. Gozun ended her presentation with concrete strategies to ensure the country’s water
security.
 A rational water governance is key to improved access to water and sanitation. With the
overlapping roles of the numerous agencies in the management of the water resources,
obviously it creates disorder rather than harmony because of the scattered management
and administration. There are talks of the creation of the Department of Water and Water
Regulatory Commission with pending bills and can be discussed in the course of
preparing the Master Plan.
 Water conservation and water efficiency measures under the framework of WDM have
to be popularized and mainstream. Water is a scarce resource. It should be effectively
managed, properly priced and conserved. By promoting WDM, people will be able to get
the most of the water they have. It shall include policies, laws, water rates, measures and
practices that will ensure long term water availability. Water efficiency standards has to
be promoted. There is a need for labelling and upgrading water fixtures to be more
efficient in using water similar with electric equipment.
 There is a need to raise awareness and understanding about the need for improved
sanitation facilities. Majority of the people do not know that waste water is a problem
since they pay a price for clean water. If we pollute water, the scarce resource becomes
even more limited, and the cost for using it will simply become higher because of the
treatment.
 Climate change is a serious threat to the country’s water security and there is an urgent
need to integrate climate risks into the planning, design and implementation of water
and sanitation services to make them more disaster-resilient. The Philippines is blessed
with a lot of rain water. There has to be a paradigm shift on the outlook of rainwater as
a problem to an opportunity. Rainwater should be taken as a resource. The maximization
of rainwater harvesting, storage and use at all levels should be made into a policy just like
in Singapore. Flood Control, Drainage and Water Supply projects are expensive but an
investment. The flood will not affect the economic activities and at the same time there
will be plenty of water to use.
 There is a need to align the country’s definitions of water and sanitation with the
WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program (JMP). The Philippines is a part of this program
and the definition being used for water and sanitation should be aligned.

3.0 The Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation

Master Plan
Mr. Ortigas presented the overview of the

project. The master plan is geared towards
meeting the access targets for water supply
and increase access to sanitation. It will also
develop strategies, policy reforms and identify
priority programs that are implementable in
the short-, medium- and long- term. All water
supply and sanitation initiatives such as
PWSSR, PSSR and UFF will be linked into the
PWSSMP. Capacity building of NEDA and other
agencies/institutions will be a component of
the formulation of the PWSSMP.
The deliverables of the project are the

following: master plan, regional master plans,
integrated road map and investment program
and financing plan for the period 2019 – 2040.
Mr. Noel M. Ortigas is the Executive

months starting in September, 2017. Water
sector assessment will be happening soon and report is expected on the third month. The
start-up of the formulation of the master plan is by the end of the year. Interim report will
be ready before the end of the year.
There will be consultations, workshops and field visits. Knowledge management

information system will collect technical, social, economic data and the agencies will have
access to the data. All sectors will be involved. The team will collect opinions, strategies,
and programs and integrate all the activities from the water and sanitation sector.
Discussion Points
 There is a need to look at water supply management and not only water demand
management. There is a need to retain an environmental flow from the rivers.
 Participants in the Regional Workshops will include at least ten water service
providers of different types, representatives from the business, academe, NGO’s
and DILG Regional Hubs. Ideally, it is better to include the grass roots.
 Make use of the Listahang Tubig. Other countries are successful in implementing
their policies since they have “Name and Shame” – enforcement of the law and
transparency. There has to be to a mix of approaches, provision of incentives and
disincentives.
5
 Include both Houses of the Congress, Philippine Competitiveness Council and the
Climate Change Commission in the planning.
 NWRB is using the sector risk and water security framework of ADB in their
formulation of the National Water Security Road Map.
 DILG’s Municipal Water Supply Sector Plan is rights based and standards compliant.
 Sectoral plans should be based on bigger plans and linked to the CDP and LDIP
which will provide a list of the priority projects for water and sanitation through
DBM (ALGU) – one of the funding mechanisms for LGUs.
 NIR and NCR will not be included in the regional workshop. They will not have
separate consultations but instead will work together with the concessionaires
since they already have business plans.
4.0 Agency Role and Support to the Project
Ms. Abarquez presented three questions to be answered by

each of the agency.
 What role do you see for your agency in this project?

 What concrete support can you provide to the
project?
 How do you want to participate?
Each agency wrote their answers in the meta cards. To

group similar answers together, Mr. Demaisip requested a
volunteer to read his/her answer and called out the
participants to put up the meta cards with similar ideas.

6.0 Closing Remarks
Mr. Ortigas gave the closing remarks. He

once again thanked the participants for
attending and actively participating in
the programs. He believes there is real
positive hope for making the water
sector integrated as it should be. Based
on his experience with the water sector,
he shared that water projects do not
have unidirectional approaches. There
are always different levels, cultures and

sources.
remarks.
The whole process of developing and
operating a water project is difficult. However, no matter difficult or diverse the problems
are, there is a unifying principle that everyone should look at those in drafting the master
plan and in doing each one’s specific jobs. To close, Mr. Ortigas reminded all the
participants that “Water is not only essential in life, water is really life for all of us.”

PROJECT BRIEF
Title: Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP)
Consultant: Consortium of Engineering and Development Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP),
Tractebel Inc., and Orient Integrated Development Consultants, Inc. (OIDCI)
The Philippine government recognizes the need to provide universal access to water and sanitation for all. While this
has been pronounced in numerous occasions in different policies, strategies, and campaigns, access to safe water and
sanitation continues to be elusive for some.
The Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP), which will be the product of this study,
is meant to be an action plan with a corresponding investment and financing program to execute the Philippines
Water Supply Sector Roadmap, (PWSSR) and the Philippines Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR), and put the

What are the key issues?
18
12/10/2017
1. Fragmented national
regulatory environment
prevents improved access
to water and sanitation
2. Consider WATER as an economic good!

Scarce resource which needs to be effectively
managed, properly priced and conserved!
19
12/10/2017
3. Raise awareness and

understanding about the need for
improved sanitation facilities!
Water pollution – a major threat to sustainability of water
supply.
Estimated 65% -80% of water used ends up as wastewater.
4. Need to align our

definitions of water and
sanitation with the

4. MAJOR THREAT:
Climate Change Impacts
on Water Management
• Reduced rainfall decreases available water supply.
• Excessive rainfall leads to:

- higher turbidity - many treatment plants are unable
to process
- flooding which disrupts treatment and distribution
systems, wash away pipes, etc.
* Strong typhoons damage water systems.
22
12/10/2017
* Hotter temperatures increases water demand

Showering and bathing frequency increases
Water use increases in cooling towers used in commercial buildings and
industrial factories to remove heat and humidity
Water Resource
Impacts:
• Hotter temperatures cause increase in agricultural irrigation
(The heat sucks •upChanges in waterfrom
the moisture supply
the soil)
• Water quality
• Increased competition for water
• Hotter temperatures increase evaporative losses on surface
water supplies and reservoirs
URGENT need to integrate climate risks into the planning,

design and implementation of water and sanitation services
to make them more disaster-resilient.

adoption
• Require proper labelling
• Eventually allow sale only of those which
meet efficiency standards
Defining Water Demand Management

• Reducing the quantity or quality of
water required to accomplish a task
• Reducing the loss in quantity or
quality of water as it flows from
source through use, to disposal
• Shifting the timing of use from peak
to off-peak periods
• Giving equal status to SUPPLY-side
and DEMAND-side water
management regardless of source.
• Ensuring the ability of the water
system to serve society even during
times when water is in short supply

In the opening ceremonies, Director Roderick Planta welcomed the participants, especially
those coming from the NEDA Regional Offices. For the morning session of the workshop,
the following members of the Consulting Team gave presentations which served as the
background and introduction for the Sector Visioning Exercise:
 Mr. Noel Ortigas presented the Final Inception Report, along with the Project’s current
status and progress;
 Ms. Evelyn Orda gave the presentation regarding the current Water Supply Sector
Situation, while Mr. Jay Tecson presented the current Sanitation Sector Situation;
 Mr. Dondi Alikpala presented the different challenges to achieving universal access (in
both water supply and sanitation sector) the country is currently facing. These include
(1) resource, (2) regulatory, (3) governance and institutional, (4) financing, (5)
management, and (6) political challenges; and lastly,
 Ms. Bebet Gozun presented the water supply and sanitation sector’s vision in keeping
with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Her presentation served as the primer
for the workshop that shall be undertaken after the participants’ lunch break.
After the break, the first workshop (originally scheduled to be conducted in the morning),
were undertaken. The participants were divided into six groups, with each tackling a
designated sector challenge as discussed above. Each group discussion was facilitated by
select members of the Consulting Team, and the participants were asked to identify the
sector issues and to formulate a strategy/ies to overcome these challenges. Afterwards,
each group presented their outputs which were then synthesized and summarized by Ms.
Bebet Gozun.
The second workshop was mainly for the NEDA Regional Officers/Representatives in
connection to the upcoming Regional Planning Workshops to be conducted. Nevertheless,
other government agencies and organizations were encouraged to participate.
Mr. Leo de Castro presented the 0verview of the Regional WSS Master Plan Workshop. For
the workshop proper, the present fifteen (15) regional offices involved were divided into
three (3) sub-teams and were led by the consultants in filling in the tasking and schedule
matrix for the regional workshops.

2.0 Opening Session
For the second consultative meeting, aside from the

different agencies involved in the management of
the water resources of the Philippines, the NEDA
Regional Offices were also included. The
programme was started with a prayer and the
National Anthem led by Mr. Theo Demaisip, a
community participation specialist from the
Consulting Team.
The Welcome Address was once again delivered by

Director Roderick Planta, Director of the National

3.0 Final Inception Report
In the first part of Mr. Noel Ortigas’

presentation, he gave a brief walkthrough of
the project’s design, objectives, approaches
and methodologies, schedules and
deliverables. Currently the team has already
finished the Project Launch and the First
National Consultative Workshop, and is now
coursing through the second national
workshop.
The Draft Inception Report was submitted on

October 02, 2017 while the Final Inception
Report was submitted last October 19, 2017.
As of November 17, 2017, activities that were

conducted includes the WSS Audits of the
provinces, Masbate and Iloilo, and the
preparatory works for the provincial audits of
Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte. The
team is also currently in the process of the
preparing the Sector Assessment Report.
Mr. Noel M.Ortigas, Team Leader of
The project’s progress is at more or less than
the Philippine Water Supply and
20% completed. The next activities of the team Sanitation Master Plan Project
include the coordination with the NROs and the
sixteen (16) regional workshops to be
conducted starting from the first quarter of 2018.

4.0 Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Assessment
Water Supply Sector Assessment

Ms. Evelyn Orda, an Institutional Specialist
from the team, delivered the assessment of the
water supply sector. In the first part of the
presentation proper, the speaker set the tone
of the plenary by showing a short video clip of
the documentary film Bayang Uhaw by Kara
David.
After this she presented the current situation

of the water sector. Summarized below are the
main points in the sector assessment:
 There are at least 12.8% or about 13 million

people without access to safe water and
Ms. Evelyn Orda, Institutional ARMM has the biggest number of people
Specialist without access which constitutes 54% of their
population.
 From the reported 87.2% water access by PSA, more than 50% is comprised of Level
1 and 2 access.
 332 municipalities still continue to be waterless.
 The reliability, availability and quality of most water supply are still below industry
standards.
 The water districts and the MWSS concessions are being more organized to 75% of
the population with Level 3 access.
 3 million people were served by the SALINTUBIG program.
She also discussed that most of the water utilities are unorganized, do not perform well
and do not have the technical and managerial capacity to operate and maintain their water
supply systems. The current water utilities are not able to sustain their operations and are
financially struggling which leads to the increasing number of non-operational water
supply services.
This may be linked to certain provisions in the laws that have allowed the water supply
services to be highly politicized. There is no enabling environment for the water supply
services to grow especially for the small water utilities because they are not able to access
the funds to develop and expand their systems.
Currently, more and more water districts enter into PPP arrangements with private
investors for the financial aid for expansion and rehabilitation works of their services.
However, there is a risk in the lack of understanding on how PPP transactions work and
how unsolicited proposals should be reviewed so that the water utilities will not be
vulnerable to unscrupulous proposal. There is a need for a regulatory overseer over PPP
arrangements and to create clear guidelines with regards to NEDA JV’s specific to PPP
transactions.
5
Throughout the years, there have been many government responses and
recommendations for the issues and constraints discussed above. There have been many
proposed reforms/interventions with some that were implemented. However the problem
still exists that the water sector situation has not improved. According to a World Bank
Report – Diagnostic Study of 2008, the following reasons are why the reforms have not
been effective:
1. The reforms were not targeted – many of the proposals were not good ones.
2. They were not marketed well enough. There was also lack of champion.
3. There were not enough funding to support implementation.
Ms. Orda closed the presentation by asking the plenary which part of the sector needs the
most help and which should be given priority. Is it the unorganized/underdeveloped water
utilities (Level 1 and 2), the low performing and financially struggling water districts, the
aging LWUA organization that needs strengthening or the numerous water districts that
are entering into PPP arrangements?
Sanitation Sector Assessment
Mr. Jay Tecson, the principal sanitation

specialist, presented the assessment for the
sanitation sector. Mr. Tecson initially discussed
the current performance of the sector.
He noted that around 74% of households are

connected to onsite or offsite treatment and are
considered safely managed and that 4.3 million
people still openly defecate. This can be
attributed to the poor governance of the LGUs,
the limited access to financing sanitation
projects and the affordability of constructing
sanitation facilities. Mr. Jay Tecson, Principal Sanitation
Specialist.
There are two documents (Philippine
Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap and National Sewerage and Septage Management
Program) that were presented that shows the service targets for the sanitation sector in
the country. For the PSSR, it aims in the year 2028 that there should be universal access
(100%) to safe and adequate sanitary facilities and there is a sustained behavioural change
in the people especially for proper hygiene practices. Also, it targets a mechanism that will
drive the institutionalization of sustainable sanitation.
In the NSSMP, there are four (4) targets. One target dictates that by 2020, all LGUS should
have developed septage management systems and the 17 highly urbanized cities (HUCs)
have developed sewerage systems.
Mr. Tecson defined sanitation using the sanitation ladder in the SDGs. Using this definition,
the current access of the Philippines is shown in the following tables.

As mentioned in the first part of the presentation, there are still regions in the country in
which people are still practicing open defecation. The following table details the regions
with the highest open defecation rate from the data of PSA from the year 2015.

With the following data, there is still a gap which needs to be targeted. In the new SDG
targets for improved sanitation, by 2022 the remaining households should have sanitation
facilities totalling to a 97% access, which will be increased to 100% in the year 2030.
Same as the water supply sector, there are many actions that were implemented to help
the sanitation sector to grow and develop. The following are enumerated as follows.

Challenges in Achieving Universal Access
After the assessment of the water supply and

sanitation sector, Mr. Dondi Alikpala,
Institutional Specialist, discussed the different
challenges that the WSS Sector is facing in the
goal to achieving universal access. His
presentation identified six main challenges.
These are water resource, regulatory,
governance and institutional, financing,
management and political challenges.
For the first challenge, he highlighted the

quantity, quality, sustainability and resilience of
the water source with the increasing population
that contributes to the depletion and
degradation of the resources.
Mr. Dondi Alikpala, Instiutional With regards to regulatory challenges, there are
Specialist. no specific agencies that are responsible for
managing the two sectors as well as that there is no cohesiveness in planning. He also
reiterated the issue of regulating the PPP arrangements that the water districts are
entering.
For governance and institutional, there is no comprehensive strategy to achieve the SDG
in water and sanitation. The people have little awareness on the need for basic and
improved sanitation at the local level and this is aggravated by no sustained national or
local efforts to improve the awareness of the people. Another concern is that many LGUS
and Water Utilities do not practice Water Demand Management (WDM).
As discussed by Ms. Orda in her water sector assessment, many small water utilities are
unable to access financing and/or funding because they do not have the qualifications.
Another challenge the speaker mentioned is that banks are unfamiliar with water utility
operations and many water districts are not credit worthy. Mr. Alikpala also included that
the national government has insufficient funds to improve the sector.
Management challenges that were discussed is that majority of LGU-run water utilities are
not set up and operated as business enterprises and do not have the necessary technical
and managerial capacities for sewerage or septage management. LGUs also do not
8
implement the proper regulation for septic tanks and other onsite wastewater disposal
systems.
Finally for political challenges, there are conflicts between water districts and LGUs, an
example is the PD 198 Sec 3 (b). Another is that tariffs are politically influenced and are
used as a way for winning votes from the people.
Discussion Points
• NEDA RO Region VII – requested copies of the presentations made. Sir Theo responded
by asking the NROs to give their email addresses to the secretariat.
• NEDA RO Region VI - suggested that instead of presenting waterless municipalities,

present the waterless barangays to show the magnitude of those population not yet
covered by water supply and sanitation. He also expressed the different problems that
their region is encountering which is the over extraction of sand and gravel from the
rivers and the use of banned pesticides in their farms, which both affect the water
quality and quantity of the rivers and water table. The consultants acknowledged these
information and replied that there really is a need for an Integrated Watershed Resource
Management (IWRM).
• NWRB - shared some of the highlights in the workshops they have conducted in the
different areas in the country. One of these is the strengthening of the organization in
the absence of the apex water body which is included in the short - medium term plan.
The plan/framework is expected to be done by December and this is another project by
USAID together with B-Leaders. Another suggestion in the presentation was to use the
updated Listahang Tubig. Consultants replied that it is still being compiled but is
considered as a very important and useful data for the project. She also broadcasted the
National Water Summit which will be held on December 8, 2017.
• NEDA Davao - commented about the correlation of water supply with the level of
sanitation and also suggested that there is a need to promote water demand
management. Finally he also pointed out that water coming from above (rain water) be
taken into consideration.
• NEDA Region VIII - talked about the inclusion of the “master” in the formulation of the
master plan and also the urgency for this apex body to be created. Consultants replied
that there is a difference between the apex body (management of water resources) and
regulatory body (improvement of water services).
• NAPC – asked if there will be a discussion about the community based or NGO water
projects initiatives included in the situationer/Master Plan. The team answered that it will
definitely be included because it is an evolving sector assessment. It was also added that
there will be a roundtable discussion with local and international NGOs with water and
sanitation programs on November 27, 2017.
• DILG – agreed with the comment about the correlation of the water supply and
sanitation. The indicators for water and sanitation have to be integrated.
9
• NEDA MIMAROPA – noted that the geographical configuration of the region were not
included in the challenges.
Sector Vision
As the final speaker for the morning session,

Ms. Bebet Gozun gave a short presentation
about the vision of the Water and Sanitation
Sector which is “All Filipinos have access to
Water & Sanitation”.
She discussed the targets of the Philippine

Development Plan (2022) and Sustainable
Development Goals (2030) in which the
ultimate goal is to have universal and
equitable access to safe and affordable
drinking water and access to adequate and
equitable sanitation. She also discussed the
normative interpretation of SDGs so that
everyone in the plenary will have the same Ms. Bebet Gozun, Institutional
understanding of the targets and its Specialist
implications.
5.0 Strategy Formulation
To start the afternoon session, the participants were divided into six groups which
corresponded to each challenge that Mr. Dondi Alikpala had presented. Each group was
headed by the Consultants and guide the groups to create an output which is the
formulated strategies for the challenges.

Comments
- Ms Bebet Gozun commented that financially and economically not viable projects should
still be funded to provided water supply and sanitation services just like the missionary/off
the grid areas for energy projects
- She also said that collecting a few centavos from water bills to support the missionary
areas can be a role by the Water Regulatory Commission.
6.0 Regional Master Plan Workshop
The walk through on the Regional Master Plan Workshop Design was presented by Mr. Leo
de Castro, Communication /Participation Specialist. He discussed that the regional master
planning workshops will be between the 4th to the 9th month of the project
implementation. It will be a three (3) day assessment and planning activity that will engage
and involve representatives from the local government, different sectors of the locale and
communities, and other stakeholders. The number of target participants range from 50 –
60 persons. The Consultants will be providing a list of recommended participants to the
NEDA Regional Officers.
The objective of the workshop is to gather more information on the current situation of
the regions, to obtain a clearer understanding of the water supply and sanitation sector
and to engage the regions in the development of the Regional Master Plan.
The data gathering tools and templates were discussed by the technical specialists to the
Regional Officers in the break-out session. The participants were divided into three (3) sub-
groups and tasking between the consultants and NEDA RO were delegated using the
common action plan template/checklist.

PROJECT BRIEF
Title: Formulation of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP)
Consultant: Consortium of Engineering and Development Corporation of the Philippines (EDCOP),
Tractebel Inc., and Orient Integrated Development Consultants, Inc. (OIDCI)
The Philippine government recognizes the need to provide universal access to water and sanitation for all. While this
has been pronounced in numerous occasions in different policies, strategies, and campaigns, access to safe water and
sanitation continues to be elusive for some.
The Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan (PWSSMP), which will be the product of this study,
is meant to be an action plan with a corresponding investment and financing program to execute the Philippines
Water Supply Sector Roadmap, (PWSSR) and the Philippines Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR), and put the

Overview
NEDA is implementing the Philippines Water Supply and
Sanitation Master Plan that started last Sept. 1, 2017
The project which aims to prepare a master plan at the
end of 12 months is now on its 3rd month of
implementation.
A key output of the Project is a Sector Assessment
Report
This workshop will present the Sector Assessment Report
to guide the development of strategies and programs
following the PDP vision, mission, goals set for 2017-
2022 and SDG targets for 2030
Some points to consider

A consultative process is being carried out with key stakeholders (
round table discussions, regional workshops, water and sanitation
assessment)
The study was based on a literature review supplemented by data
gathering/consultation of the Team with key agencies like LWUA,
NEDA, MWSS, DPWH, NWRB, DILG, DOH, DOF, and GFIs.
Data on Water Service Providers (WSP) are mainly from Water
Districts (WD); there is limited data from LGU WSPs and other
WSPs.
The Sector Assessment Report is substantially completed.
Coverage information (on LGU led utilities) and other WSPs and
issues/constraints however still need to be updated with the
findings from the regional workshops.

What do the results say?
At least 12.8% or about 13 million do not have access to safe

water; ARMM has biggest number of people without access to
safe water (about 54%)
Of total reported access by PSA of 87.2 %, more than 50% are
with Level 1 and 2 access
The water districts and the MWSS concessions being more
organized contribute to 75% of the population with Level 3
access.

With the many proposed reforms/interventions that

were proposed and some that were implemented,
why then has the sector not really improved?
Coverage
From a WB Report – Diagnostic Study of 2008 , it
was noted that the reforms have not been
effective for various reasons:
1. The reforms were not targeted – many of the

proposals were not good ones.
2. They were not marketed well enough. There
was also lack of champion.
3. There were not enough funding to support
implementation.

(2008)
• Economic costs in the order of US$ 1.4 billion,
equivalent to about 1.5% of GDP in 2005 and
translated to per capita losses of US$ 16.8 per year.
• The health impacts costs at about US$ 1 billion, 72%

• Economic impact on water resources accounted for
about 23% of the total costs.
• Other impacts are on other welfare impacts and

TOR
 The TOR for the project was not brought down to the regional level that is why the NRO
are not familiar with the project. TOR was only presented to the NROs after the project
was awarded to the consultancy firms. If only the TOR was routed to the NRO there will
be no problems with informing the region as well as the participants needed in the
workshops that will be conducted.
Invitation
 Invitation letter to be drafted by NEDA Central Office

 Template letter (consultants)
 Draft list of participants for the workshop (NRO)
Participants
 NRO to provide short list of venues and hotel accommodations within budget allocation
 Venue preferences: can accommodate 50 – 60 pax

targets of the region
 Regional Development Investment Plan – presents exact Project Program Activities
(PPAs), Public Investment Program (PIP)
 2017 – 2022 RDIP – still on-going
 Collect accomplished data forms from NRO and other agencies (consultants)
 Orientation of participants (NRO and Consultants)
 Forms to be disseminated as early as possible since some regional workshops are
schedule early in the first quarter of the year. Last day of collection would be before the
workshop dates
Presentation of current status of WATSAN in each province
 NRO to ask each province to provide 2 slides (1 water supply and 1 sanitation) or 3 minute
presentation, to give background to the consultants the current situation of the province
Memorandum
 NRO requesting a memorandum from Central directing their office to conduct activities
and to disseminate forms to participating agencies to submit data and information required
for the regional master plan
 NRO to send a letter indicating their requests (such as functions for the workshop and
directives) from Central to include in the memorandum for the conduct of the regional
workshop
4. Conclusions
Consultants will be responsible in following up the missing data in the forms to the LGUs.
Then will draft the Regional Master Plan which will be presented to the Sectoral
Committee. After presenting, consultants will finalize the report and then the Sectoral
Committee will endorse it to the Regional Development Council (RDC) for approval.

Appendix E: Report on the

Study Tour
Appendix E: Study Tour / Learning Visit
As part of the development of the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan
(PWSSMP), a study tour/learning visit was conducted to expose concerned government
personnel to the experiences of a selected country in implementing successful water supply
and sanitation projects. The French Ministry of Ecological and Inclusive Transition (MEST),
Department of European and International Affairs responded to the National Economic and
Development Authority’s (NEDA) request to conduct the study tour in Paris, France. The study
tour/learning visit was conducted from July 2-6, 2018 and was participated by the six
representatives from Philippine government agencies, four from NEDA, one from the Local
Water Utilities Administration (LWUA), and one from the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG).
According to the 2018 Environmental Performance Index, results for water and sanitation
indicate that European countries have remained committed to providing sustainable access to
drinking water and sanitation for the past decade and is acknowledged as leaders in water
and sanitation. France was selected as the study tour site because of its commitment to
providing universal and good quality water and sanitation service. Salient features of the
sector compared to other developed countries are the high degree of private sector
participation using concession and lease contracts (gestion déléguée) and the existence of
basin agencies that levy fees on utilities in order to finance environmental investments.
According to the Ministry of Environment, 75% of water and 50% of sanitation services in
France are provided by the private sector, primarily by two firms, Veolia and Suez.
The Philippine delegates visited seven agencies and institutions during the study tour/learning
visit. Aside from the sit-down presentations, the delegates were also able to visit two water
treatment plants in Beynes and Paris City. The agencies and institutions visited are:
1. Ministry for an  IRSTEA National

Ecological and Research Institute of
Solidary Transition Science and
(MEST) Technology for

Water District’ Projects under
the Public-Private Partnership
(PPP) Scheme: Observations
and Preliminary
Recommendations
See attached CD for copy of Aide Memoire.

AIDE MEMOIRE:
Subject: Water District’ Projects under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Scheme:
Observations and Preliminary Recommendations
Date: 4 November 2017
BACKGROUND:
1. In the sector assessment as part of the on-going PWSSMP, an important topic that is being
looked into are the current realities surrounding water districts with PPP proposals, those
that are exploring the possibilities and including those WDs that have already been
approved and operational JVs (incorporated and unincorporated) for water distribution, bulk
water supply and a couple for septage management.
2. The number of water districts going into JV agreements for distribution is growing. Since
the issuance of the amended NEDA JV guidelines, 13 contracts for water distribution have
been awarded and 5 more are currently under negotiations.
3. LWUA for its part as being the de facto in charge of water districts initiated the preparation
of guidelines governing the review and approval of PPP proposals but these guide
4. In March 2016, an Aide Memoire was prepared by NEDA Infrastructure Staff, a copy of
which is attached for reference with the same subject matter as above, except that said Aide
Memoire did not contain any specific recommendations on regulation.
5. The Asian Development Bank as part of its on-going assistance to LWUA commissioned a
study (by Morales, Justiniano, Pena & Lumagui Law Office) on the subject matter and in
March 2017 issued a draft final memo on the findings. The work has focused on existing
laws which are relevant, and on sample contracts provided by LWUA. Some core
observations are:
 The most common modality for these JVs appears to be an UNSOLICITED bid, which
presumably after a competitive challenge, results in an UNINCORPORATED JV
 As no information was provided on the terms of reference for the competitive
challenges undertaken, no comments were provided by legal counsel - although some
anecdotal information was noted
 The value of the contribution of the WDs to the JVs in the contracts reviewed is less
than the P150 million although with no clear basis for the valuation; a value of P150
million who in general require NEDA ICC's review
 The basis of the valuation of the contribution of the private sector partner, in fact any
specific committed capex amounts planned / committed, is not very clear - and
therefore it is not possible to understand the basis of sharing, and how the transaction
was assessed to be beneficial to consumers and the public
 Tariffs will going forward be set based on the contract (regulation by contract) which
may imply that public consultation and LWUA's review should be required prior to
execution of the contract
 Separation pay for retiring WD employees is also committed to in the JV doc, and
presumably is a RECOVERABLE COST - but it is unclear what is the proper procedure
for confirming the legality of such payments
 These contracts are silent about other obligations of the WDs, e.g. sanitation and
other retained obligations/liabilities.
 There is usually a Contract Management Unit established – but what is their capacity
and is there an inherent conflict of interest?
 There was also no direct feedback from OGCC on the nature of their involvement in
the transactions completed; the memo does provide some feedback on the preferred
broader scope of feedback from OGCC for such JVs
6. In late 2015, the USAID under the Be Secure Program assisted the Metro Iloilo WD in the
review and evaluation of an unsolicited proposal for the repair, rehabilitation and operation
of its water supply system. The first ever Transaction Advisory assistance was provided to
a water district. The process was well documented and could be a good starting point in
the development of more detailed guidelines in the review and evaluation of unsolicited JV
proposals. To date, the MIWD is in the process of pre-qualifying challengers and hopes to
complete the award the JV contract in the next six (6) months at the earliest.
OBSERVATIONS AND ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION
7. After the 2013 NEDA amended JV guidelines came out, the first ever Joint Venture
agreement (Lemery Water District and Prime Water) for a concession arrangement was
signed in April 2014 and is now operational. In only a matter of four (4) years since the
guidelines came out, there are now 13 awarded JVs for the operation and maintenance of
water supply facilities and 5 more are under negotiations. (See Annex” A”)
8. There are currently 26 bulk water agreements all over the country with multiple service
providers either under an unincorporated JV and the rest were procured by the WDs under
RA 9184. As in the case of distribution concessions/JV, no documented cases have been
obtained that would show the process, framework agreement and other information other
than the confirmation that there exists such bulk water agreement.
Need for review and oversight
9. With the increasing number of water districts exploring the PPP track, some observations
and concerns are being raised informally in the sector as to the apparent lack of regulatory
framework for oversight on PPP project proposals and lack of clarity on who will provide the
regulatory oversight. There is the perception that because of the situation, there is the risk
that the water district and ultimately the consumers’ interest will not be protected in the
transactions.
10. All of the operational PPP to date adopted the unsolicited JV mode of arrangement as
provided for in the 2013 NEDA Guidelines. The NEDA guidelines though for all intents and
purposes are not specific to water districts and hence did not have provisions on how water
districts with PPP proposals will be reviewed and regulated by agencies other than NEDA
and OGCC.
11. Whilst there could be some checks and control under the NEDA Guidelines, particularly on
the Php 150 Million cut-off for requisite review by NEDA, without an external review
conducted on the PPP transaction this form of review could easily be avoided.
12. The Be Secure Final Report on the Transaction Advisory to MIWD1 noted that except for the
water tariff review and approval where LWUA has the opportunity to review and determine
the reasonableness of the proposed tariff adjustments, there are no available reports to
show that could help determine whether the final agreements signed by the WDs with the
proponent/JV partner will be to the best interest of the government and the consumers.
Bases for Regulation
13. In 1990, EO 68 was enacted to regulate BOT projects in water districts and directed that all
BOT proposals and similar undertakings will have to be reviewed by LWUA. Between the
period 1990 when RA 6957 and RA 7718, BOT law was issued and the issuance of the
amended 2013 JV guidelines, no PPP in water districts was realized. There were several
proposals for BOT in water districts at that time but none was successful until the 2013
amended guidelines were issued. Apparently, PPP in water districts became attractive to
the private sector only when the amended JV guidelines were introduced.
14. In all of the 13 existing JVs, there was no benefit of a review by LWUA as would have been
expected because of its assumed regulatory role over water districts. Nor is it evident that
any of the WDs has carried out an independent review of the JV proposals. There is no
documentary evidence that would show how the said proposals have been reviewed and
negotiated except anecdotal evidences of interviews with some LWUA management
advisors of concerned water districts.
15. The need for an external review meanwhile by LWUA becomes more urgent as more and
more unsolicited proposals are being submitted. In the absence of specific provisions in
the 2013 NEDA guidelines, the possibility of enabling the review of the PPP proposals by
LWUA through EO 68 could be studied further and incorporated as an amendment of 2013
JV guidelines.
16. According to a report on a study commissioned by the Asian Development Bank, Executive
order No. 68 series of 1999 increased the regulatory power of LWUA. “Since said EO has
never been repealed by any contrary legislation, it remains valid and subsisting. This EO
highlights the role of LWUA in the approval process.

Strategies Guide for Water
Utilities
Many adaptation options may provide benefits under both current climate conditions and
potential future climate conditions. These options are often described as No Regrets options.
These options would increase resilience to the potential impacts of climate change while
yielding other, more immediate economic, environmental, or social benefits. However, No
Regrets does not mean cost-free; No Regrets options still have real or opportunity costs or
represent trade-offs that should be considered by utility owners and operators.
USEPA Adaptation Strategies Guide for Water Utilities provides some ideas for developing
adaptation options:

1 Background
Along with the setting of the access targets come the investment requirements needed to realize the
proposed plans. For the purposes of the master planning, the Consulting Team has developed unit cost
estimates for infrastructure and non-infrastructure investments for the WSS sector.
Cost derivation for the identified water and sanitation projects was derived using the following
procedure:
a) Unit development costs were based on similar components of both ongoing and recently
completed WSS project implement, engineered, or subjected to feasibility studies by the firms
of the Consulting Team JV (EDCOP, TRACTEBEL and OIDCI);
b) Implementation and project preparation dates, geographical locations and mode of
implementation (PPP, Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Turn-key) were considered in order to
proper level-off direct and indirect costs;
c) Project costs were judiciously validated with available development plans and/or engineering
drawings and/or technical reports and/or operational data;
d) Cost components in terms of labor, construction materials, equipment usage, construction
methodologies were also taken into account; and
e) To properly consider dates of implementation and/or project preparation, local and foreign cost
elements were also identified. This is to properly infuse escalation and foreign exchange costs
in cost items with importation requirements, or those involving foreign technologies.
To raise the level of confidence on the derived cost, these were then compared to prices of completed
and current projects with due considerations for the order of magnitude of the total project and the
particular work items being referred to. The reference price was adjusted to reflect differing conditions
with the reference project which include considerations of differences in the type of terrain, geographical
location, local geology and project specifications.
Furthermore, various agencies and organizations (DILG, DPWH, DOH, private service providers) were
consulted to gather insights and industry expertise based on current and previous practices and
experience in costing out WSS projects.

2 Cost Components
Development cost estimates are mainly classified into two components consisting of direct and indirect
costs as graphically shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Unit Price Components
2.1 Direct Costs
Cost derivations conducted are mostly based on direct costs. These are items which are identifiable
from a practical accounting standpoint as having been incurred in the performance of a specific item of
work. These items include equipment, materials, and labor.
2.1.1 Material Cost
The material cost inputs considered in this analysis consist of canvassed cost from different suppliers
which include the cost of hauling to site. The 12% value added tax was removed from canvassed
materials.
The current market price of construction materials was gathered/collected by canvassing/market price
survey. Quotations from various suppliers were taken most especially major construction materials i.e.,
cement, reinforcing steel bars, steel pipes etc. were requested.

The cost of materials included processing crushing, stockpiling, loading, royalties on quarries, local
taxes, hauling cost, wastage or losses and others.
2.1.2 Equipment Cost
The operated rental rates per hour of the construction equipment were adopted based on the
Associated Construction Equipment Lessors (ACEL), Inc. Equipment Rental Rates 25th Edition (2014).
Rental rates indicate depreciation, cost of maintenance, fuel, lubricants, insurance and also wages of
the equipment operator.
Minor equipment and tools that are not reflected in ACEL 25th Edition were taken from the latest rental
rate schedule of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Bureau of Equipment.
2.1.3 Labor Cost
Labor cost includes wages and all fringe benefits such as vacation and sick leave, bonuses, SSS
contributions, PAGIBIG, PhilHealth and workmen compensation.
The following government agencies were the sources of data considered in the analyses:
 National Wages and Productivity Board
 Department of Labor and Employment
 Social Security System
 Pag-ibig Fund
 Philhealth Insurance Co. Inc.
 Several Local Contractor
WSS facilities and components considered for cost derivations includes the following:

Available and applicable technologies for different sanitation approaches
Development costs are derived on a per household basis, as targeting is anchored on the increase of
the total number of households that will have access to safe and sustainable water supply and
sanitation services in the future. Tables 21 and 22 show the derived direct costs for WSS facilities and
components broken down into levels of services, components, and overall design and technological
considerations.

Table 2: Water Supply Development Costs
Cost Item Cost per HH Cost per HH

(High Scenario) (Low Scenario)
Level 1 Water System PhP 8,400 / HH -
Level 2 Water System PhP 18,700 / HH -
Level 3 Water System PhP 31,800 / HH PhP 28,600 / HH
Derived direct costs are slightly higher than current industry rates 1 but would be better to employ for
conservative purposes. Level 3 systems considered a high and low scenario. The former approach
considered a water system whose distribution is run by gravity, while the latter uses pumping stations,
entailing longer pressurized pipelines and higher electrical costs (power consumption).
For sanitation costs, derived costs are based on estimations done by the DPWH for their use in the
NSSMP. Development costs included in the document are at 2011 price levels which are escalated to
2018 prices for use in the PWSSMP.

Moderate Flows 100k-200k pop. 33,250
Smaller systems < 100k pop. 39,500
Source: NSSMP (For Septage Management and Sewerage System)
Economies of scale are observed in septage management systems and programs as the larger facilities
generally cost less per unit volume of septage treated than smaller systems. Items in blue are adopted
as unit development costs. Largest unit development costs for septage and sewerage are adopted for
conservative purposes.

DILG uses PhP 5,000, PhP15,000, and PhP 25,000 per HH for Levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

2.2 Indirect Costs

Indirect costs, on the other hand, are those which may appropriately spread to various items of work
and include mark-ups on the estimated direct costs or these are costs that are not directly involved in
the execution of the work items. These are costs which cannot be accounted for as having been
incurred in the performance of a specific item of work.
Mark-ups on the estimated direct cost or costs that are not directly involved in the execution of work
items were classified under the “Indirect Cost”. The table below, which was taken from DPWH
Department Order 197, Series of 2016, summarizes the percentage of indirect costs allowed with
regard to the estimated direct costs:
Estimated Direct Indirect Cost % for OCM and Profit Total Indirect Cost
Costs (EDC) % for OCM and
OCM PROFIT Profit

Above PhP 50M up
to PhP 150M 10 8 18
Above PhP 150M 8 8 16
Value Added Tax
A Value Added Tax of 12% for direct equipment and labor cost (Reference BIR Regulations) will be
included in the indirect costs.
Based on industry standards and the Consulting Team’s experience in cost estimation, the following
assumptions are to be adopted in the preparation for the indirect costs of the project:

Organizational Cost/Permits 2% 2%
Capacity Development PhP 33,350 / staff* PhP 667,000
*1 staff per 100 HH (LWUA standards)

**fixed costs

Capacity building costs were based on the standard practice of government agencies and offices in
their conduct of and/or participation in trainings and seminars. Costs employed are also within on
maximum amount allowed as per DBM and COA guidelines 2. Derived capacity development costs are
based on the following considerations:
 Participant to attend a five-day workshop with Day 1 as travel time
 Each participant to be budgeted PhP 2,000 per day which covers meals and accommodation
 For out of town seminars, a PhP 10,000 per person is allotted for transportation costs
 Capacity development activities to engage six (6) resource persons for four (4) days at eight (8)
hours per day at PhP 2,000 per hour
 PhP 15,000 per day for venue rental for 4 workshop proper days
 For water supply, one (1) personnel per 100 HH connections will be capacitated
 For sanitation, 20 personnel per province will be capacitated
Water Quality Testing Laboratories
The establishment of a water quality testing laboratory per province is also included in the investment
requirements. Basis of costs are from LWUA estimates and considered provision of both bacteriological
and physical/chemical analyses. Breakdown of costs are shown below:

3 Cost Regional Deviations
In the derivation of development costs, the base cost was computed using prevailing construction and
project implementation costs for the National Capital Region (NCR). However, with the archipelagic
nature of the Philippines, cost deviations will be considered as regional and geographical factors are
entered into the equation. These deviations will be taken into account when having the laid-out
programs provided corresponding costs considering the 16 regional administrative boundaries.
As each region has its own distinct geographical, economical, and accessibility characteristics, labor,
material, and equipment costs are bound to be different to others. Given that premise, regional factors
are multiplied to the NCR base costs to appropriate cost components and to realistically estimate
investment requirements of proposed water supply and sanitation projects in each respective locales.
Table 24 shows the regional ratios relative to NCR base costs that shall be employed in the project.
Likewise, in anticipation of possible funding from international sources (whether ODA or PPP, among
others) breakdown of development costs into local and foreign components shall be done.
