PCSD2 updatesIT WAS BORNE OUT OF GENERAL WELFARE.

This was what Palawan Council for Sustainable Development Council (PCSD) Chairman, Governor Jose C. Alvarez told the august body when non-government organization representative, Sr. Xenia Mae C. Juanitas again raised her group’s concern on the on-going road construction in San Vicente town during the 224th Council Meeting, May 26.

“I have nothing against the road project if it’s done for the general welfare, but it does not mean we should shortcut the procedures,” said Alvarez, adding that the Local Government Unit of San Vicente which carrying out the project has still need to comply with the process of securing a Strategic Environmental Plan (SEP) Clearance from the PCSD.

CLAMOR VS ROAD PROJECTIt can be noted that the Palawan

NGO Network Inc. (PNNI) wrote PCSD a letter on December 14, 2015, saying that the project location when geo-tagged has entered in what are considered as core and restricted zones of the Environmentally Critically Areas Network (ECAN).

“It traversed through old growth forests and wantonly pushed big trees on the side of the cliffs, not to mention carving portions of mountainsides with both impunity and disregard,” wrote PNNI Executive Director, Atty. Robert Chan.

RA 7611 or the SEP for Palawan Act calls for the zoning of ECAN, a comprehensive strategy encompassing the whole province which serves as guide in conservation and developmental undertakings.

Under which are the core and restricted zones – the former are given to intact natural forest that should be “fully and strictly protected and maintained free of human disruption,” while the latter which encloses the former and “provides a protective barrier” are only allowed for “limited and non-consumptive activities.”

But it should be put aside when public welfare hangs in the balance, said Undersecretary Manuel D. Gerochi of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

“It’s a matter of policy that, in fact, public works in a core zone pertaining to public welfare like communications and electric towers, dams, and in this case road project have to be allowed and be exempted by the set rules in the name of public welfare,” said Council member Gerochi.

Both the undersecretary and governor were referring to the General Welfare clause under the Local Government Code of 1991 considering that it is for the safety of the inhabitants and the passing vehicles, and that the said project is a major means of transporting agricultural produce from farms into the markets within the community and into other local markets.

ALTERNATIVE ROUTEAlvarez emphasized that the

said road project, started in 2015 in Sitio Decala, Barangay Caruray, was conceived for the benefit of both the community members, motorists and other vehicles traversing the same and to serve as an alternative route to one very steep and dangerous road namely,

“Diyos Ko Po.”The governor said it will also be

equally advantageous to some 350 farmers of Decala who since then transporting their agricultural products to Bgy Port Barton via motorized banca due to the absence of a road.

“We should not impede the progress of the province especially if the project is done to benefit the poor,” remarked Alvarez. “Looking at their current plight, this infrastructure will somehow alleviate their lives.”

REVIVING AN OLD ROADAlvarez said that the Decala road is

an old road that was used long ago by logging companies in the town. “So it is not true that is a new road opening,” he said firmly.

Contrary to the claim of PNNI, the governor added there was no tree cutting of old growth trees but rather trees of five to 10 year old. “Those which grew and get bulldozed to give way for the road project are small ones and not endemic species like Apitong.”

After the PCSD Staff Personnel Selection Board screened several candidates, the PCSD appointed Niño Rey C. Estoya (center) for the position of Project Development Officer V. He is the OIC-Division Chief of the Enforcement and Regulations Division, concurrently serving as Director of Bantay Palawan Program. Estoya took oath before PCSD Chairman, Gov. Jose Alvarez (extreme left) and PCSDS Executive Director Nelson Devanadera (extreme right) during the 224th Regular Council Meeting, May 26 at the Governor’s Conference Room, 2/F Capitol Building.

sa ilalim ng Livelihood Project Management Unit ng pamahalaang panlalawigan, ang kanilang tanggapan ay nagbibigay ng naturang opurtunidad partikular sa mga interesadong maliliit na mangingisda.

Ani Rodriguez, ito ay sang-ayon sa kanilang Seaweeds Industry Development Program na naglalayong palakasin ang produksyon ng seaweeds sa lalawigan. Dagdag niya, mangyari lamang umanong sumulat sa gobernador ang sinumang interesadong mangingisda at isumite ito sa kanilang tanggapan.

Ayon pa kay Rodriguez, nasa 57,574.512 kabuuang ektarya sa lalawigan ang maaaring pagtamnan ng seaweeds.

LIVELIHOOD PROJECTS NG BFARTuloy-tuloy naman ang mga

proyektong pangkabuhayan sa Palawan ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-IVB (BFAR-IVB) na pinangangasiwaan ng Provincial Fishery Office (PFO).

Ayon kay Jeanette Jardin, kinatawan ng PFO, ang kanilang tanggapan ay namamahagi sa mga mangingisda ng mga sumusunod: crab pot/fish pot; seaweeds seedlings, ropes and straw; gill net; hook and line; payao shallow/aggregating device; village-type solar seaweeds dryer; aquasilvi project/crab culture fattening; at 6.5 HP engine; at 38-feet fiberglass boat Double Engine (16HP).

Ani Jardin, para makwalipika ang mangingisda sa benepisyaryo ng proyekto ay kinakailangang nakalista ang pangalan nito sa Municipal Fisherfolk Registration System (FishR)

ng BFAR. Dagdag pa niya, sumulat lamang sa

kanilang tanggapan ang interesadong mangingisda upang makonsidera sa listahan ng mga benepisyaryo ng kanilang proyekto. Matapos ang masusing pagrebyu sa katayuan sa buhay ng aplikante, kaagad ding maibibigay ang gamit basta’t available aniya ito sa PFO.

KABUHAYAN SA TURISMOIsa rin sa mapagkukuhaan ng

alternatibong kabuhayan ang masiglang turismo ng lalawigan, ‘ika ni Arnold Valdez Jr, kinatawan ng Provincial Tourism Promotions and Development Office.

Aniya ilan sa mga trabahong iniaalok ng tourism sector ay ang mga sumusunod: tourist boat man, community tour guide, at hotel/resort accommodation staff gaya ng cook, food attendant, housekeeper, utility worker at iba pa.

Dagdag pa ni Valdez Jr, mainam na pagkakakitaan din ang pamamahala ng community-based marine protected area (CBMPA) gaya ng ginagawa ng mga nakatira sa Johnson Island, Roxas. Sa CBMPA, maaari aniyang mangolekta ng entrance fees at magpaarkila ng paddle boats, balsa, snorkeling gears at iba pa.

Ilan din sa iba pang alternatibong kabuhayan ay ang mga sumusunod: mat weaving, souvenir items making, mudcrab fattening, fish caging, seaweeds culturing, food processing at abalone culturing.

Paalala ni Valdez, handa sila sa sinumang dudulog sa kanilang tanggapan para humingi ng karagdagang impormasyon ukol sa mga nabanggit sa itaas.

IPs in Rizal undergo paralegal training; vow to safeguard natural resources

Some 40 members of Pala’wan tribe from the far-flung barangays of Latud, Taburi and Panalingaan were trained of the basics of environmental law enforcement, with emphasis on citizens’ arrest and protocols on case filing.

The participants were also familiarized with the salient features of the Strategic for Environmental Plan

TO RALLY SUPPORT from the indigenous cultural communities in order to combat the occurrence of environmental crimes in upland Palawan, the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development Staff (PCSDS) conducted a three-day paralegal training for the indigenous peoples (IPs) of the three barangays in Rizal, Palawan on May 23-25.

for Palawan Act (RA 7611) and Special Laws on Chainsaw Act (RA 9175), Caves Act (RA 9072), Wildlife Act (RA 9147), PCSD’s Implementing Rules and Regulations on Wildlife Act (PCSD AO12), policy guidelines on reef-fish-for-food (PCSD Revised AO 5, S.2014), and other environmental laws relevant to the province.

The Pala’wans expressed positive feedback of the training as they said it has made them aware of their social responsibility with regard to securing the sustainability of Palawan’s rich natural resources, especially those that can be found inside their ancestral domain.

“This activity has empowered us with our rights and responsibilities as Filipinos and as members of indigenous cultural communities, so that in return we will be able to protect the resources that our ancestors had safeguarded since time immemorial,” said Angelito Sanchez, Chairman of the Bantay-Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT).

In 2012, the said three barangays have secured a CADT from the National Commission for the Indigenous Peoples (NCIP). CADT “refers to a title formally recognizing the rights of possession and ownership of Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples over their ancestral domains identified and delineated” in accordance with the Republic Act No. 8371 or “The Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997.”

However, despite the issuance of CADT, they lamented the fact that most of those who inflict harm to their environment are not natives but migrants. Worse, some of them were threatened when there were times they

PCSDupdates 5<<FRONT PAGEClosed season sa paghuhuli ng reef-fish-for-food...

“A decision has to be made and today that decision is to say ‘we will execute the policy,” ayon kay PCSD Staff Executive Director Nelson Devanadera sa kanyang pambungad na pananalita.

“Despite so many questions, issues and other concerns that you would like to raise we will have them considered to show that we are committed to protect this industry,” dagdag niya.

Kasama rin sa inimbitahan ang ilang government at non-government agencies para magpresenta ng livelihood assistance at iba pang opurtunidad na maaaring i-avail o pasukin ng mga maaapektuhang stakeholders.

Ginanap ang nasabing forum na may temang, “Buhay-buhay para sa Habang Buhay na Hanapbuhay” nitong Mayo 31 sa Asturias Hotel, Lungsod ng Puerto Princesa.

Ang closed season ay ilan lamang sa mga probisyong nakapaloob sa Revised PCSD Administrative Order No. 5-2014 o ang “Guidelines for the Regulation and Monitoring of Catching, Culture, Trade, Transport and Export of Reef-Fish-For- Food in Palawan.”

Ang pagpapatupad ng nasabing polisiya ay ang nakikitang sagot ng PCSD upang maging sustenable ang paghuhuli ng reef-fish-for-food (RFF) sa Palawan.

Base kasi sa ilang pag-aaral at mga istatistika, lumalabas na papaunti nang papaunti ang huli ng tatlong nabanggit na species dahil na rin sa overfishing sa mga nakalipas na taon bunsod ng mataas na presyo at demand nito sa loob at labas ng bansa.

Pagkatapos ng closed season, ipapairal naman ang open season o ang panahon na maaari manghuli ng RFF sa darating na Setyembre 1 hanggang Oktubre 15. Ang iba pang iskedyul ng seasonal control ay ang sumusunod: Oktubre 16 hanggang Disyembre 15 (closed season), at Enero 1 hanggang Hunyo 15 (open season).

Ang mga nabanggit na petsa ay nakaangkla sa mga pag-aaral ukol sa panahon ng pangingitlog ng RFF.

Kalakip din ng polisiya ang probisyon ukol sa pagpapairal ng restriksyon sa sukat ng RFF na mahuhuli. Sa tatlong RFF species, tanging suno lang ang napapaloob dito kung saan kapag open season ay dapat di bababa sa 32 sentimetro at di lalampas sa 47.5 sentimetro ang maaaring hulihin sa ilang.

Gayunpaman, maaari pa ring magbenta ng RFF kapag closed season basta nagmula ito sa otorisadong hatchery at hindi sa ilang o wild.

Para subaybayan ang implementasyon ng nasabing administrative order, bubuo ng multi-partite monitoring team ang PCSDS sa bawat munisipyo.

Ipinaalala rin ng PCSDS na ang sinumang lalabag dito ay may karampatang kaparusahan sang-ayon sa itinatadhana ng RA 9147 o ang Wildlife Act na basehan sa pagpapairal ng naturang admin order.

Para sa karagdagang impormasyon, mangyaring humingi ng kopya ng AO5 briefer sa PCSDS-EEED o di kaya’y sumangguni sa PCSD DMOs. Maaari rin kayong sumadya sa tanggapan ng PCSD sa Bgy Sta. Monica, Lungsod ng Puerto Princesa o tumawag sa aming telepono (048) 434-4235 o mag-email sa [email protected]

To prevent any damage to the centuries-old coral reef, Governor Jose Alvarez said the structure will be prefabricated in Puerto Princesa City the soonest possible time, except for the concrete pylons covered with high-density polyethylene (HPDE) which will be erected on the site.

tried to reprimand those they caught off guard violating certain environmental laws, specifically Wildlife Act and Chainsaw Act.

“We are nothing to their guns, money and sort of connections to some local government officials,” said Sanchez in

Filipino. “All we want is for them to recognize and respect our rights to our land.”

On the last day of the training, the staff facilitated the formulation of action plan to address the environmental issues which they said to be present in the

three barangays, such as but not limited to illegal logging and unregistered chainsaw units, illegal fishing, wildlife trade, and rampant selling of lands inside CADT.

Silico Valdestamon, Municipal Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative (IPMR), encouraged the participants to re-echo to their respective barangays what they have learned from the training. “Why people violate environmental laws is because they are ill-informed, and the task of informing them is now in your hands,” he said.

The paralegal training was spearheaded by the PCSD ECAN Regulation and Enforcement Division (ERED), ECAN Education and Extension Division (EEED), and DMO South, in cooperation with the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) and the Office of the Municipal IPMR.

PALAWAN GOVERNOR Jose Alvarez made an ocular inspection May 18 at the proposed site of the state-of-the-art marine ranger station that will be built adjacent to the current station on the shallow part of the North Atoll of the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP).

The plan to build a modern marine ranger station to replace the 16-year old current was conceived in 2013.

However, it remained a plan until today as the donations given to the Tubbataha Management Office (TMO) still “fell short of the project’s budgetary requirements,” said Alvarez, who is also the Chairman of the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD), in a chance media interview.

In the past three years, the TMO has received more or less Php100-million from the public and private sectors.

Among major contributors were the Department of Environment and

Natural Resources (DENR) and the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), according to

<<PAGE 4IPs in Rizal undergo paralegal...

TMO Manager Angelique Songco.“The DENR provided the TMO

with Php41 million for all construction materials, while TIEZA gave Php40 million for the construction of the new ranger station, however, it is still not enough since the overall project cost reaches more or less Php120 million,” Songco admitted.

headed the recently concluded three-day familiarization tour organized for the members of the local media.

Now that all of the materials were already in place, Alvarez said the task of building the structure and providing technical and other support has since been assumed by the Provincial Government of Palawan (PGP).

Alvarez said it would be good if the TIEZA, an attached agency to the Department of Tourism (DOT) mandated to designate, regulate and supervise the country’s tourism enterprise zones, would shell out more millions of pesos to fill in the deficit in order to jumpstart the construction.

The said state-of-the-art structure includes a visitor center, a research building, and a helipad.

To prevent any damage to the centuries-old coral reef, the governor said the structure will be prefabricated in Puerto Princesa City the soonest possible time, except for the concrete pylons covered with high-density polyethylene (HPDE) which will be erected on the site.

He said it would be mounted on a barge off to TRNP, and would be assembled in a span of three months by summer next year when the sea is calm.

TRNP is a 97,030-hectare Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Palawan, the westernmost Philippine province. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is located 150km southeast of Puerto Princesa City, at the heart of the Coral Triangle, the global center of marine biodiversity.
