2 INFORMATION ABOUT SPPA AND ITS PROFILE

3 What is SPPA? The SPPA or South Palawan Planning Area is an area comprising the territorial jurisdiction of the municipality of Bataraza, Brooke s Point, S. Española, Quezon and Rizal.

4 It has inhabitant of more or less 200,000 people. It has a central spine of mountains, of which the highest is Mt. Mantalingahan (2085 m)

5 They are forested, but with continuing encroachment.

6 The surrounding lands below it about 1 m to 200 m are gently sloping but are more rolling within Española Area and the west.

7 The upland is the main catchment of rivers which feeds the surrounding lowlands. The forest harbors significant biodiversity, with a high but unmeasured degree of endemism. Diversity is highest in the lower areas, particularly river valleys, where it is most threatened.

8 Why SPPA? Because the natural resources in Mt. Mantalingahan, particularly water, are essential for economic development of the municipalities.

9 Because the resources within Mt. Mantalingahan are threatened by exploitation.

10 Although the immediate perpetrators of those threats were often people living in uplands, the origin of the problem that they posed lay in the lowlands. An integral development approach rather than the creation of a protected area was seen as a more viable response to the commonly felt needs, thus THE SOUTH PALAWAN PLANNING AREA.

11 What is SPPC & who composed SPPC? The South Palawan Planning Council (SPPC) is the governing body of SPPA. It is composed of 5 mayors and MPDOs of the SPPA. The municipalities of Aborlan, Narra and Balabac are not included in the council but they have representation in the Board of LIKAS which is one of the special projects of the SPPC. The PPDO and PCSDS also have representation n in the council but only the mayors of the 5 municipalities have the right to vote. So the Council is essentially a local government body.

12 What is SPPIC? The South Palawan Planning and Information Center (SPPIC) is the office of the SPPS and the hub of the SPPA where trainings can be done and informations are being processed and managed thru the GIS.

13 The South Palawan Planning Staff (SPPS) helps SPPC to implement its policies and activities. It is composed of few professional staff coming from the 5 municipalities, PCSDS and the PTFPP. What is SPPS?

14 The SPPA Programs The activities of SPPA have been grouped into 6 Programs. But in reality the activities are inter-linked and interdependent.

15 Program one: land management zoning Goal: to ensure all land and municipal waters of SPPA are zoned consistently according to specified criteria.

16 Program two: zone management Goal: to see that regulations controlling land use in each zone are implemented.

17 Program three: people and land Goal: balance the demand for land with its supply.

18 Program four: information The program has two purposes: Goal A: make planning information available and accessible to the public.

20 Goal B: ensure stake holders support SPPC and its programs

21 Program five: research and monitoring Goal: to supply the SPPC and LGUs the information they need for effective management

22 Program six: institutional management Goal: implement the foregoing programs

24 The SPPA History & Stages of Development In September 1997 during the mayors conference held in Subic,, the mayors of the 5 municipalities in South Palawan proposed the establishment of the protected areas for Mt. Mantalingahan within n the precepts of SEP (RA 7611).

25 Provincial Executive Order No 10,s. 1998, modified by Executive Order No. 8,s. 1999, created the Mt. Mantalingahan Planning Task Force and its support Working Committee. Following the recommendations of the PTF, the PCSD passed resolution No. 7 dated 7 March 2000, defining the boundaries of the Mt. Mantalingahan Management Area in Southern Palawan as special management area within the framework of SEP (RA 7611).

26 With With assistance from PTFPP, a consultant was engaged to assist the PTF and the WC to formulate MMMA s Strategic Management Plan which was completed and submitted to PCSD on March 31, On On April 2001 MOA was signed between and among the mayors of Bataraza, Brooke s Point, S. Española, Quezon and Rizal to further strengthen their cooperation, collaboration and partnership. The The PCSD in July 2001 formally adopted the SMP for MMMA.

27 PEO No. 24 dated September 3, 2001 renamed the MMMA to SPPA in order to include socio-economic part of the entire area (SPPA) that eventually affect the Mt. Mantalingahan Ranges and the upland areas.

28 In November 2002, after series of consultations, workshops and meetings, the SPPC and CI Phils.. Pal. Program signed MOA for a common vision and strategy which is a sustainable management of natural resources, and conservation of biodiversity in Mt. Mantalingahan. In August 2003, the SPPC and the office of Congressman Abraham Mitra and Pilipinas Shell Foundation Incorporation signed MOA for LIKAS PROJECT which seeks to improve the quality of health of the people in Southern Palawan.

29 October 2003, the SPPIC officially started its operation with professional staff coming from the municipalities of Bataraza, Brooke s, S. Española and Quezon. The SPPS were also supported by the PCSDS detailed staff and PTFPP.

30 Major Activities Skills Skills enhancement and capability building of SPPIC staffs and SPPC members Environmental awareness and information campaign.

31 Formulation of Physical Framework Plan. Monitoring of LGU activities in relation to strategies and objectives of SPPA management plan. Establishment of GIS and data banking.

32 A profile of the South Palawan Planning Area

33 This profile was based on the results of the community based monitoring system (CBMS) survey conducted at the five municipality of SPPA: Bataraza, Brooke s Point, Española, Quezon and Rizal

34 Physical Characteristics

35 The south Palawan Planning Area has a total land area of 401, Hectares. It is bounded on the north by Municipality of Aborlan and Narra, the Sulu Sea on the east and the South China Sea on the west.

36 Map 1. Spot Map of SPPA

55 Secondary school participation There are 7,749 children aged years old in SPPA are in secondary school, Just like at the national level, the secondary school participation rate is considerably lower than the elementary school participation rate. This is partly due to the absence of a secondary school in the other barangay. Looking at the table Municipality of Brookes Point has the highest secondary school participation with Followed by Bataraza with 1687, Quezon with 1,062 and the lowest is Rizal with 1045.

72 Access to safe water and sanitation is also the main concerns for the community of the five Municipalities. More than percent of the total households in SPPA have no access to safe drinking water.

73 IMPORTANCE OF CBMS RESULT TO THE FOLLOWING

74 A: Municipalities and Barangays Effective planning was the primary purpose of using Community Base Monitoring System (CBMS) in the Barangay and Municipal level, The CBMS result was essential in the identification of priority needs and programs being implemented in every Barangays within the Municipality specifically in the sector of socio economic, education and literacy, livelihood, health and sanitation shelter and other basic indicator.

75 to address the problem in agriculture sector CBMS profile was use by agriculture office for the identification of beneficiaries of farm implements like seeds, fertilizer,insectiside,pesticides and machineries to be distributed in every actual farmer households. for the municipality of Española in particular CBMS household label data was use by the municipal government in identifying the beneficiaries for livelihood, health and sanitation programs in the barangay to address the problem.

76 One of the best example of this was the Barangay Isumbo in Española

84 B: SPPA- South Palawan Planning Area The South Palawan Planning Area are comprise of five Municipalities around Mount Mantalingahan. These five municipalities were working together for effective planning and implementation of programs/projects related to environmental protection and economic development. In relation to this action CBMS data base was used in the identification of priority needs and programs to be implemented in the entire SPPA specifically in the sector of socio economic, education and literacy, health and sanitation shelter and most of all to the livelihood practices that largely affect our surrounding environment. This data was processed into data base and used as the basis of information needed by the planners such as maps, reports, graphical presentation and geophysical data.

85 The Use of CBMS for Resource Planning and Strategies at SPPA I. Basis and Tools In Formulating Our Strategic Management Plan 1. Parameters used for land management and zoning were based primarily on the socio-economic data provided in the CBMS.

86 2. Our program strategy to balance the demand of land with its supply were based on the population data, distribution and economic activities and the geophysical data of our CBMS.

87 3. Our program for information which has two goals: A. Make planning information accessible or available to the public; B. Ensure stake holders support to SPPC and its programs; were being facilitated and implemented using primarily the CBMS.

88 4. Our program for continuing research and monitoring is now focus on CBMS, the integration / inclusion of geo-physical data to socio-economic data using GPS and ArcView or Arc-GIS.

89 5. The SPPAs institutional management which gears toward the implementation of the foregoing programs consider the CBMS as one tools for updating, monitoring and assessing information specifically for policy formulation and coordination of physical planning.

90 II. Source of information in the on-going preparation of our Physical Framework Plan SPPAs primary purpose is to respond to the realization that poverty is a major source of bad land use particularly on the uplands. SPPA recognizes that if land use planning has to work it can not do so on its own, we need stakeholders support, we need partners and we need the right and reliable information.

91 All conflicts we identified are quite understandable when it comes to land, natural resources, culture, occupancy, immigration and poverty but we can not move forward on the preparation of our PFP if we don t have data or information that can mapped out those problems- CBMS is very useful on this case.
