1. Development interventions such as physical infrastructures undoubtedly resultinto significant positive impacts to the community and the residents both interms of economic and social activities. However, it is equally true that anydevelopment intervention results in some negative externalities. In the case ofroad infrastructure projects, the obvious negative consequence would be in termsof the social costs associated with environmental damage and human dislocation.
The department has promulgated the social policy framework and specificguidelines for the implementation of projects under NRIMP. The framework andspecific guidelines are operationalized in the Policy Framework for LandAcquisition Resettlement and Rehabilitation (LARR) in general, and in theprinciples outlined for the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), in particular. Thesaid framework is anchored on the philosophy that the adverse impact of NRIMPshould be avoided, minimized and/or mitigated to ensure that the ProjectAffected Persons (PAPs) will not be worse off, if not, benefit from the project.Implicit in the framework are elements of just disturbance compensation based onfair market value and replacement cost, participatory process through localconsultations, and internal/external monitoring to ensure proper and effectiveimplementation of the projects. In order to operationalize the policies andprinciples outlines earlier, it is necessary to conduct rigorous and systematicassessment of the project areas based on acceptable standards in researchmethods and analysis.
2. In general, the objective of the RAP is to assess the extent of disturbance thatNRIMP project will cause to local settlers and to provide the structure for RAPincluding the logistical requirements for implementation. Specifically, theobjectives of RAP include: to set up a process to allow for public consultationswith PAPs on the NRIMP projects; to determine the number and geographicallylocate the PAPs and assess the extent of disturbance; to estimate, based oncurrent market value and replacement cost, the disturbance compensation; toprovide the operational mechanisms for timely -RAP implementation includingtotal budgetary allocations; and to formulate the terms of reference for internaland external monitoring of RAP implementation.
RAP preparation and implementation was designed as a collaborative effortamong three key institutions, DPWH, the LGUs, and the consulting firm. Toensure smooth implementation and effective coordination among theseinstitutions, a series of orientation and public consultations were organized.
The basic inputs for RAP preparation include primary and secondary data.Secondary data about the overall social and economic situation obtaining in thecommunities along the project sites were generated through municipal
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaguit-Claver Road ii
documents. Further, secondary data were also generated pertaining to assessedvalues of land improvement including structures and productive crops.Secondary data pertaining to the technical description of the project design wereused in the linear acquisition and mapping. The determination of thecompensation matrix for each of the affected households and the totalcompensation package was fairly straight forward. Valuation of structuresaffected by the Project were based on the concept of Replacement Cost. Valueswere determined based on the estimated quantity of materials needed to put up astructure similar to the one that will be demolished due to the Project andmonetized using the current prices of materials as per records of the DistrictEngineer's Office. Similarly, valuation of agricultural and other biological landimprovements were based on the assessed value provided for by the DistrictEngineer's Office. In special cases where additional entitlements were required,valuation schemes based on the principles outlined in the LARR Policy wereadopted. The mechanical routine of generating summary of actual values wereaccomplished by simple algorithmic instructions for the computers using standardapplication software. The cost component of RAP implementation wasdetermined by employing simple budget planning.
4. To ensure that the implementation of RAP will be done smoothly, it wasembodied in the policy framework of NRIMP to undergo a series of publicconsultation. The public consultation was done at two levels. i.e. at themunicipal level and at the barangay level.
5. The Bacuag-Claver Provincial Boundary Road segment under NRIMP I is part ofthe long- term development of the Surigao-Davao Coastal Road. However, forPhase I of NRIMP, the Surigao Norte Contract Package is only one of the threewhich includes Marihatag-Barobo-San Francisco Road in Surigao del Sur andMati-Manay in Davao Oriental.
The Bacuag-Claver Provincial Boundary road improvement section comprises oftwo sections which apparently stretches across the three municipalities for a totalroad length of about 44.5 kilometers.
The other segment which starts from the town of Claver up to the provincialboundary is generally a gravel road. Only about 2.7 kilometers of road is pavedwith concrete and the remaining stretch of roughly 26 kilometers is paved withgravel characterized as either in very bad or bad condition.
6. The total number of affected structures is 159. However, some affectedstructures did not have any valid responses with respect to the type ofrespondents (60). This is because some are public infrastructures and publicutilities where it is not possible to identify a specific respondent for such type ofstructures. In some cases, the owners of the affected structures are absentees ornot available. These types of affected structures totaled to 60 which account forabout 38 percent of the total number of structures. Therefore, in the foregoing
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaguit-Claver Road j
social and economic characterization, most responses will only be valid for 99cases.
7. Across the entire stretch, from Bacuag to the Boundary of Surigao del Norte, themodal ethnic origin of the PAFs is Bisaya which accounts for 67 percent. Thenext significant (30.8%) group is categorized as others and this group generallyrefers to the ethno-linguistic affiliation indigenous to the area which is"Surigaonon". These two groups account for practically all of the respondents(98%).
The average age of the respondents is about 47 years old. Across municipalities,the mean age ranges from 37 years in Bacuag to 51 years in Gigaquit. Theaverage age among Claver respondents which is roughly 46.5 years is muchcloser to the mean.
In terms of the level of educational attainment, the modal class is elementarygraduate with proportion estimated to be 31.3 percent. In cumulative terms,about 60 percent of the respondents were unable to complete high schooleducation. About 17 percent completed high school and college graduatesaccount for 14 percent of the total respondents. It is interesting to note that theproportion of those who did not have any form of education at all is only onepercent.
The modal household size is 5 per family. However, it must be noted thathousehold sizes of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 each have proportions clustering between 10and 11 percent. At the extreme ends of the distribution, about six percent aresingle households and about 2 percent have either 11 or twelve members.
Slightly more than half (50.5%) of the respondents are characterized under anuclear household. However, also a relatively higher proportion (43%) areextended households. This, implies that, as the household matures, in aconsiderable number of cases, members are unable to establish their ownhouseholds. Extended households can be interpreted as an indication of verylimited economic opportunities in the community.
8. The modal occupation of the Project Affected Families (PAFs) is businessoperation. This primary occupation accounted for roughly 35 percent of therespondents. Farming is also relatively significant with an estimated proportionof about 15 percent of the respondents. The same proportion is attributed tothose who are engaged in fulltime housekeeping. The very notable statisticalinformation is the fact that about 21 percent of the respondents are not engaged inany occupation at all. The very minimal proportion of those engaged in otheroccupations is indicative of the very limited opportunities in the community.Only about 4 percent are employed in their respective profession, 5 percent asskilled laborers and one percent as hired farm worker.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaguit-Claver Road iv
9. To put the income distribution in proper perspective, it must be recalled that theinstrument was designed to solicit income information only if the structure will beaffected severely. Hence, income variables are only supposed to be valid forsevere PAFs. Further, it must also be recalled that there are severely affectedstructures which are public by nature, thus, there are no valid responses toincome variables. There are also absentee owners where soliciting the requiredincome variables were not possible.
Given the various primary occupation, the average level of total income is aboutPhP92,921. The mean is highest among Bacuag residents and lowest from thePAFs in Claver. Respondents from Gigaquit are also relatively well off with anestimated average total income of about PhP118,349. Farm income is veryminimal. This implies that the PAFs are relying more on non-farm economicopportunities.
It must be noted that in all cases, the mean is higher than the median whichindicates a relatively skewed income distribution. Relatively few individuals areearning extremely high levels of income and the majority are earning low. In fact,in case of farm income, the median is zero which indicates that at least half of therespondents did not have farm-income opportunities.
10. The modal type of dwelling among the PAFs across all municipalities istemporary (35.7%). Semi-permanent dwelling account for about 32 percent.However, a relatively higher proportion are also living in permanent dwellings(17.9%). It must be noted that about 14.3 percent of the PAFs are living inshanties. By municipality, Gigaquit does not reflect the modal class of all thePAFs combined because in the town, the modal class is semi-permanent. The fewPAFs in Bacuag are split equally between those living in permanent and those intemporary dwellings with each sharing an estimated proportion of 3.6 percent.
The proportion of the respondents with access to electrical power is relativelyhigh. About 90 percent of the total household respondents are able to accesselectrical energy. The other ten percent is divided into two: those who are usingkerosene gas for lighting (3.6%) and those using oil for lamp (7.1%). Thekerosene users are concentrated in Claver while the oil lamp users are mostlyresidents of Gigaquit.
Majority of the PAFs, in aggregate terms, have access to potable water throughpump well system. Access to the other types of water system is practically splitbetween the two extremes. On the one hand, about 28 percent access waterthrough pipe systems. On the other hand, 21 percent of the PAFs are stillcollecting rain water.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaguit-Claver Road v
The modal fuel type used is wood (67.9%) and about 28.6 percent are using LPGfor cooking. The remaining 3.6 percent is accounted for by those who usekerosene gas for cooking. About 68 percent of the respondents are using eithersemi flush toilet facilities. However, the proportion of those who are still usingthe antipolo system is still relatively high at 14.3 percent. It must be stressedhere that also a relatively higher proportion of the PAFs does not have any toiletfacilities at all.
11. The project design for the entire Bacuag-Claver Provincial Boundary section ofNRIM-Phase I generally followed the center line of the existing road pavements.There were a few cases where realignments were made; however, theserealignments are within the existing Right of Way (ROW) as established by theDistrict Engineer's Office in Surigao City, Surigao del Norte. Hence, there areno land acquisitions in this particular section of the road improvement project
12. Based on the RAP Census, 159 structures will be affected by the roadimprovement project: 113 are privately owned structures. Of these 113, 82 PAFsare severely affected while 31 are marginally affected. 46 structures are publicsuch as Barangay Waiting Sheds, electric posts and structures for public utilitiesamong others.
Of the total 159 structures, about 119 will be severely affected and 40 will bemarginally affected. In Bacuag, there are more public than private structureaffected. The same pattern is also true for Claver. However, in Gigaquit, moreprivate structures are affected.
The most common use of the structures affected is residential (39.5%).Structures used both for residential and commercial purposes are also fairlycommon. These structures account for about 21 percent of those affected by theproject. A considerable number of commercial structures have also been affectedby the project as well as public structures and utilities and a smaller proportion ofother structures such as churches and fences.
13. In some cases, particularly if the structures are used for commercial purposes,income loss is also a significant consequence of the road improvement projects.The proportion of structures used fully or partially for commercial purposes willprovide an indicative extent of the income loss. Based on the LARR policy,income loss is estimated on the basis of foregone earnings of the commercialestablishment during the construction period not exceeding the equivalent incomefor thirty days.
14. Within the area of affected structures particularly those which are residential,there are agricultural improvements that will be affected by the project. The mostcommon crops are coconuts and fruit trees. However, the bulk of the disturbanceon agricultural crop improvements are along the less settled areas of the road
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaguit-Claver Road vi
where lands are cultivated but the farmers are non-residents in that specific area.In such cases, the census was done to merely locate the specific cropimprovements and value the crops in terms of the current prices available at theDistrict Engineers' Office.
15. The most number of severely affected structures is in the municipality of Claverwith a count of 58 and an estimated share of about 49.6 percent, then Gigaquitcomes second highest with an estimated severely affected structures accountingfor roughly 39 percent. Bacuag account for only about 11 percent of the totalseverely affected PAFs. By municipality, the aggregate distribution that moreresidential structures are affected is also reflected in Claver and Gigaquit.However, in the case of Bacuag, there are more public and commercial/residentialthat are affected than there are residential.
There are 40 marginally affected structures in the road improvement section in theBacuag-Claver Provincial Boundary road improvement project. Most of thesestructures are residential which account for about 45 percent of the total. Aconsiderable proportion (25%) of commercial/residential structures will also beaffected. Among these marginally affected PAFs, the high proportion ofresidential structures is consistent across the three municipalities.
On the basis of the first cluster of crop improvements, banana and coconut are themost common valuable crop improvement in areas along the highway. In termsof the broader classifications, fruit trees and forest trees also account for aconsiderable number of the affected improvements on the land. The completelistings of all affected improvements along the highway is outlined in Annex E.
16. The total compensation package for 40 marginally affected structures is estimatedat roughly PhP639,246. This compensation package includes replacement coststo structures, crop improvements within the vicinity of the structure, and forgoneearnings for structures used fully or partially for commercial purposes.
There are about 119 severely affected structures with an estimated totalentitlements of PhP3,839,137. This package is spread across the threemunicipalities, by types of structures.
By municipality, as in the case of the marginally affected structures, Claveraccounts for more than half of the total compensation package for the threemunicipalities with an estimated cost of about PhP376,006. Again, the remainingportion is shared between the other two municipalities: PhP243,435 for Gigaquitand for Bacuag, PhP19,806.
17. In addition to the compensation package to the PAFs, RAP implementation willentail overhead and logistical costs. This cost covers the management of theimplementation process, honoraria to field personnel and committee members,maintenance and operating expenses and financial administration, among others.

Sub-Total PhP 1,010,444
External Monitoring $ 2,000.00
As summarized, the total cost of the RAP is PhP 6,507,427 and $2,000.00
18. The underlying principle of the LARR Policy Framework, in general, and theRAP in particular, is to provide mitigating measures to at least ensure that thePAFs will not be worse off as a consequence of the road improvement project. Itis for this reason that the survey instrument was designed to capture the criticalaspects of the PAFs social and economic conditions to provide the benchmark forfuture assessments in the context of monitoring and evaluation.

RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN (RAP)BACUAG-GIGAQUIT-CLAVER ROAD PROJECT
NATIONAL ROADS IMPROVEMENT AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
1. RATIONALE
Development interventions such as physical infrastructures undoubtedly result intosignificant positive impacts to the community and the residents both in terms ofeconomic and social activities. However, it is equally true that any developmentintervention results in some negative externalities. In the case of road infrastructureprojects, the obvious negative consequence would be in terms of the social costsassociated with environmental damage and human dislocation.
Within the framework of the DPWH Medium-Term Development Program (1999-2004),the Department has been introducing institutional reforms. In particular, the Agency hasinstitutionalized, through the creation of offices in the department, the in-house capabilityto assess the social and environmental consequences of the projects under the NationalRoads Improvement and Management Program (NRIMP).
Hence, the department has promulgated the social policy framework and specificguidelines for the implementation of projects under NRIMP. The framework and specificguidelines are operationalized in the Policy Framework for Land AcquisitionResettlement and Rehabilitation (LARR) in general, and in the principles outlined for theResettlement Action Plan (RAP), in particular. The said framework is anchored on thephilosophy that the adverse impact of NRIMP should be avoided, minimized and/ormitigated to ensure that the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) will not be worse off, if not,benefit from the project. Implicit in the framework are elements of just disturbancecompensation based on fair market value and replacement cost, participatory processthrough local consultations, and internal/external monitoring to ensure proper andeffective implementation of the projects.
In order to operationalize the policies and principles outlined earlier, it is necessary toconduct rigorous and systematic assessment of the project areas based on acceptablestandards in research methods and analysis.
2. OBJECTIVES
In general, the objective of the RAP is anchored on two basic principles: prevent, ifpossible, the dislocation of local settlers and if the disturbance is unavoidable then theobjective of RAP is to assess the extent of disturbance that NRIMP project will cause tolocal settlers, provide mitigating measures to minimize the impact and to providecompensation to actual damages to properties and other land improvements. The RAP
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 2
will also provide the mechanisms for implementation including the logistical andadministrative.
Specifically, the objectives of RAP include:
2.1. to set up a process to allow for public consultations with PAPs on the NRIMPprojects;
2.2. to determine the number and geographically locate the PAPs and assess theextent of disturbance;
2.3. to estimate, based on current market value and replacement cost, the disturbancecompensation;
2.4. to provide the operational mechanisms for timely RAP implementation includingtotal budgetary allocations; and
2.5. to formulate the terms of reference for internal and external monitoring of RAPimplementation.
3. METHODOLOGY
3.1. Institutional Collaboration
RAP preparation and implementation was designed as a collaborative effort among threekey institutions, DPWH, the LGUs, and the consulting Firm. To ensure smoothimplementation and effective coordination among these institutions, a series oforientation and public consultations were organized.
On the one hand, orientation programs were organized to enable DPWH and LGU staffmembers who will be involved in RAP preparation and implementation to appreciate thephilosophy and principles behind the RAP. On the other hand, public consultations weredesigned to inform settlers along the sites about the project and the expectedconsequences to the community and the households.
3.2. Data and Sources
The basic inputs for RAP preparation include primary and secondary data. Secondarydata about the overall social and economic situation obtaining in the communities alongthe project sites were generated through municipal documents. Further, secondary datawere also generated pertaining to the valuation of affected structures and landimprovements. For affected structures, prevailing market prices of constructionmaterials were generated to assess the replacement costs. For agricultural improvements,
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 3
current assessed value of crops and other commercial trees were also solicited from theAssessors' Office. Secondary data pertaining to the technical description of the projectdesign were used in the linear acquisition and mapping.
Primary data were also generated through actual Project Affected Persons (PAPs) andkey-informants. Attributes of PAPs at the household level were generated through theadministration of a structured survey instrument and through complete enumeration ofthe identified PAPs. Critical primary data were also solicited from key-informants. Forinstance, technical informations were required to determine the number of ProjectAffected Families (PAFs) and the extent of disturbance. Right of Way (ROW) limitswere solicited from the appropriate key-informants at the District Engineer's Office.
3.3. Population
Because of the nature of the problem, it is required that complete enumeration of allaffected structures, families, and all other land improvements will have to be accountedfor to establish the impact of the road improvement project.
3.4. Analytical Tools
In order to put the Resettlement Action Plan in proper perspective, there was need tocharacterize the communities affected by the project. This was done by employingdescriptive statistical analysis of both secondary and primary data pertaining to therespective communities. Specifically, the analysis involved the use of the standardmeasures of central tendencies, dispersions and distributions.
The determination of the compensation matrix for each of the affected households andthe total compensation package was fairly straight forward. Valuation of structuresaffected by the Project was based on the concept of Replacement Cost. Values weredetermined based on the estimated quantity of materials needed to put up a structuresimilar to the one that will be demolished due to the Project and monetized using thecurrent prices of materials as per records of the District Engineer's Office. Similarly,valuation of agricultural and other biological land improvements were based on theassessed value provided for by the District Engineer's Office. In special cases whereadditional entitlements were required, valuation schemes based on the principles outlinedin the LARR Policy were adopted (Annex A).
The mechanical routine of generating summary of actual values were accomplished bysimple algorithmic instructions for the computers using standard application software.The cost component of RAP implementation was determined by employing simplebudget planning.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 4
4. PUBLIC CONSULTATION PROCEEDINGS
To ensure that the implementation of RAP will be done smoothly, it was embodied in thepolicy framework of NRIMP to undergo a series of public consultation. The publicconsultation was done at two levels. i.e. at the municipal level and at the barangay level.
Two orientation meetings were conducted at the earlier stage of the RAP preparationreport. Both meetings were facilitated by the Chief of EIAPO. The first was conductedat the DPWH CARAGA Regional Office in Butuan City and the second was at theSurigao del Norte District Engineer's Office in Surigao City.
Due to the proximity the three municipalities affected by the Bacuag-Gigaquit-Claverroad improvement project, it was deemed sufficient to hold a single consultation in themunicipality of Gigaquit which is the town at the middle.
To ensure wider participation, particularly among potential PAFs, letters ofcommunications were sent earlier to notify the respective LGU officials. As indicated inAnnex B.3, the consultation was well attended including the three respective mayors, theBarangay Chairmen of the affected communities and potential PAFs.
During this consultation, in attendance was only LGUs but there were representatives ofPAFs in every barangay.
Annex B outlines the highlights of the proceedings in both orientation meeting and publicconsultations. The orientation meetings were basically centered on the introduction ofNRIMP and the LARR Policy Framework because the audience were the implementersof RAP.
Consequently, most of the discussions clustered about issues relating to the Role of theDPWH Regional and District staff members. In contrast, because the audience of thepublic consultations were the potential PAFs, issues revolved around compensation andentitlements.
5. RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN
5.1. Project Description
The Bacuag-Gigaquit-Claver Road segment under NRIMP I is part of the long- termdevelopment of the Surigao-Davao Coastal Road. However, for Phase I of NRIMP, theSurigao Norte Contract Package is only one of the three which includes Marihatag-Barobo-San Francisco Road in Surigao del Sur and Mati-Manay in Davao Oriental.

NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 6
The Bacuag-Gigaquit-Claver road improvement section comprises of two sectionswhich apparently stretches across the three municipalities for a total road length ofabout 44.5 kilometers (Table 5.1).
The first segment starts from Bacuag to the town proper of Claver. The segment is about15.7 kilometers long. Only about 4 kilometers of the entire stretch of road is paved withconcrete cement and about half a kilometer is characterized to be in either very bad orbad condition. The remaining segment of about 11.8 kilometers is paved with gravelwhere six kilometers is characterized as either in good or fair condition and theremaining 5.8 is in bad or very bad condition.

The other segment which starts from the town of Claver up to the provincial boundary isgenerally a gravel road. Only about 2.7 kilometers of road is paved with concrete andthe remaining stretch of roughly 26 kilometers is paved with gravel characterized aseither in very bad or bad condition.
5.2. The Local Government Units
5.2.1. Bacuag
Bacuag is, relatively speaking, an old municipality. The influx of migrants, generallyfrom the province of Bohol, started as early as the 1880s and the municipality itself wasestablished in 1919. In the earlier developments. The municipality was then comprisedof only five brarangays.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 7
The municipality is spread across a total land area of about 14,617 hectares divided into 9different barangays. Close to half (44%) of the municipality are mountainous withpatches of forest, grass lands, swamps, and marshes. The remaining portion of arablelands are being utilized generally for low intensive agricultural production.
Table 5.2.1. Road classification by type of pavement in Bacuag, Surigao del Norte, 2001.
The available statistics based on the socio-economic profile of the municipality is quiteold (1997). In recent years there have been construction of concrete pavement along thenational passing through the municipality. However, for the other portions of themunicipality, most of the characterization in terms of the level of road infrastructureswould still be very relevant. Even the recent characterization presented earlier as part ofthe project description indicated the very low level of concrete pavement in the Bacuag-Claver segment of the road.
The total length of the road network for the municipality is quite minimal. For the totallength of about 99 kilometers of road, only about 1.5 kilometers were paved withconcrete in 1997. The remaining 97.5 kilometers are paved with gravel and the bulk ofthe roads are classifies as barangay roads. In terms of road density, the municipality hasabout 688 meters of gravel pavement per square kilometer of land area and about tenmeters of concrete pavement per square kilometer.
5.2.2. Gigaquit
Gigaquit is the second to the last town to the south towards the provincial boundary toSurigao del Sur. The general topography of the town is mountainous.From a relatively short distance from the shorelines, the area of the town abruptly risestowards the Diwata Mountain ranges.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 8
The municipality is composed of 13 barangays spread across an area of about 23,570hectares. Most of the arabe lands are devoted to the production of coconut and someirrigated lands are devoted to the production of rice.
The road network of the municipality is relatively less extensive. The only portion pavedwith concrete is about a kilometer of road along the highway cutting through BarangaySan Isidro and about 4 kilometers from the highway towards the Central Business Districtof the municipality.
There are on-going attempts by special projects funded by the World Bank to provideirrigation and farm to market roads in the municipality particularly in the in BarangaySan Isidro. Specifically, an eleven kilometer all-weather road is under construction toconnect the upland barangays of Lahi and Sico-sico to the lowland communities. At thispoint in time, the only practical means of access to the upland barangays is throughDaywan river via pump boats.
5.2.3. Claver
Claver, as a geo-political unit, became a municipality only in 1955. Hence, relative to theother municipalities in the province, it is a very young town. The total land area of themunicipality stretches to about 32,262 hectares of land spread across 14 barangaysincluding an island and a few islets. The total population of the town is about 17,376.
While the area is quite huge, most are spread along the mountainous sections and aretherefore classified as forest lands. Only about 30 percent of the land area has beendeclared alienable and disposable (A&D) lands.
Table 5.2.3. Road classification by type of pavement in Claver, Surigao del None, 2001.
The available data set provided by the Municipal Planning and Development Office(MPDO) does not contain information on the length and classification of roads under theadministrative jurisdiction of the provincial and national agencies. The total length of theroad network for the municipality of Claver is very low. The total length of concrete isabout 3.5 kilometers; however, but the total road length is only 22.6 kilometers. Further,a high proportion of the road network is still earth pavement.
Considering that the area of the municipality is relatively large, then the road densitywould indeed seem very minimal. In terms of the total road length, the density is onlyabout 70 meters per square kilometer of land area.
5.3. Socio-Economic Profile of Project Affected Families
The total number of affected structures is 159. However, some affected structures didnot have any valid responses with respect to the type of respondents (60). This isbecause some are public infrastructures and public utilities where it is not possible toidentify a specific respondent for such type of structures. In some cases, the owners ofthe affected structures are absentees or not available. These types of affected structurestotaled to 60 which account for about 38 percent of the total number of structures (Table5.3). Therefore, in the foregoing social and economic characterization, most responseswill only be valid for 99 cases.
Among the affected structures with valid responses, the modal type of respondent is thespouse with an estimated proportion of roughly 40 percent. Husbands, as respondents,accounted for about 18 percent and a minimal proportion (3.8%) of the respondents werethe children.

53.1. Demography
As raised in the previous section, there are only 99 cases with valid types of respondentsand hence, the only cases where socio-economic characterization is possible. In mostcharacterization, therefore, the number of cases with valid responses is 99.
Across the entire stretch, from Bacuag to the Boundary of Surigao del Norte, the modalethnic origin of the PAFs is Bisaya which accounts for 67 percent, 33 percent of whichare PAFs who owns marginally affected structures while 67 percent are Bisayan PAFswith severely affected structures (Table 5.3.1a). The next significant group generallyrefers to the ethno-linguistic affiliation indigenous to the area, which is "Surigaonon".This group accounts for about 30 percent of the total number of valid cases. Severelyaffected Surigaonon PAFs represents a total of about 77 percent while those marginallyaffected PAFs only represents about one fourth of the total Surigaonon PAFs.
There are no information on the chronology of the influx of Christian migrants in the areaand also with respect to their cultural makeup. Surigaonon and Bisaya are two of thedominant ethno-linguistic groups in the area. These groups, however, are not classifiedas indigenous people.
PAFs along the Bacuag-Claver segment include migrants from Ilocos, Southern Tagalog,and Visayas. However, most identify themselves as either Bisaya or Surigaonon.Majority of the severely affected Bisayan PAFs reside in Claver. Severely affectedSurigaonon PAFs, on the other hand, reside mostly in Gigaquit.

At this point, it would be worthy to note the distribution of the respondents bymunicipality. About 90 percent of the respondents are under the political jurisdictions ofthe municipalities of Claver (47.5%) and Gigaquit (42.4%). The remaining 10 percentare within the boundaries of Bacuag.
The average age of the respondents is about 47 years old. Across municipalities, themean age ranges from 37 years in Bacuag to 51 years in Gigaquit. The average ageamong Claver respondents which is roughly 46.5 years is much closer to the mean.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-Claver Road 12
In terms of the level of educational attainment, the modal class is elementary graduatewith proportion estimated to be 31.3 percent. In cumulative terms, about 60 percent ofthe respondents were unable to complete high school education. About 17 percentcompleted high school and college graduates account for 14 percent of the totalrespondents. It is interesting to note that the proportion of those who did not have anyform of education at all is only one percent.
The modal household size is 5 per family (Table 5.3.1c). However, it must be noted thathousehold sizes of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 each have proportions clustering between 10 and 11percent. At the extreme ends of the distribution, about six percent are single householdsand about 2 percent have either 11 or twelve members.

Slightly more than half (50.5%) of the respondents are characterized under a nuclearhousehold (Table 5.3.1d). However, also a relatively higher proportion (43%) areextended households. This implies that, as the household matures, in a considerablenumber of cases, members are unable to establish their own households. Extended
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 13

53.2. Economy
The modal occupation of the Project Affected Families (PAFs) is business operation.This primary occupation accounted for roughly 35 percent of the respondents. Farming isalso relatively significant with an estimated proportion of about 15 percent of therespondents.
The same proportion is attributed to those who are engaged in fulltime housekeeping.The very notable statistical information is the fact that about 21 percent of therespondents are not engaged in any occupation at all.
The very minimal proportion of those engaged in other occupations is indicative of thevery limited opportunities in the community. Only about 4 percent are employed in theirrespective profession, 5 percent as skilled laborers and one percent as hired farm worker.

To put the income distribution in proper perspective, it must be recalled that theinstrument was designed to solicit income information only if the structure will beaffected severely. Hence, income variables are only supposed to be valid for severePAFs. Further, it must also be recalled that there are severely affected structures whichare public by nature, thus, there are no valid responses to income variables. There arealso absentee owners where soliciting the required income variables were not possible.
Consequently, Table 5.3.2b only represent 41 valid responses. Given the variousprimary occupation, the average level of total income is about PhP92,921. The mean ishighest among Bacuag residents and lowest from the PAFs in Claver. Respondents fromGigaquit are also relatively well off with an estimated average total income of aboutPhP118,349. Farm income is very minimal. This implies that the PAFs are relying moreon non-farm economic opportunities.
It must be noted that in all cases, the mean is higher than the median which indicates arelatively skewed income distribution. Relatively few individuals are earning extremelyhigh levels of income and the majority are earning low. In fact, in case of farm income,the median is zero which indicates that at least half of the respondents did not have farm-income opportunities.

5.33. Level of Living
The modal type of dwelling among the PAFs across all municipalities is temporary(35.7%, Table 533). Semi-permanent dwelling account for about 32 percent. However, arelatively higher proportion are also living in permanent dwellings (17.9%). It must benoted that about 14.3 percent of the PAFs are living in shanties. By municipality,Gigaquit does not reflect the modal class of all the PAFs combined because in the town,the modal class is semi-permanent. The few PAFs in Bacuag are split equally betweenthose living in permanent and those in temporary dwellings with each sharing anestimated proportion of 3.6 percent.
The proportion of the respondents with access to electrical power is relatively high.About 90 percent of the total household respondents are able to access electrical energy.The other ten percent is divided into two: those who are using kerosene gas for lighting(3.6%) and those using oil for lamp (7.1%). The kerosene users are concentrated inClaver while the oil lamp users are mostly residents of Gigaquit.
Majority of the PAFs, in aggregate terms, have access to potable water through pumpwell system. Access to the other types of water system is practically split between thetwo extremes. On the one hand, about 28 percent access water through pipe systems.On the other hand, 21 percent of the PAFs are still collecting rain water.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 16
Table 5.3.3. Level of household amenities by municipality, Surigao del Norte, 2001.
The modal fuel type used is wood (67.9%) and about 28.6 percent are using LPG forcooking. The remaining 3.6 percent is accounted for by those who use kerosene gas forcooking. About 68 percent of the respondents are using either semi flush toilet facilities.However, the proportion of those who are still using the antipolo system is stillrelatively high at 14.3 percent. It must be stressed here that also a relatively higherproportion of the PAFs does not have any toilet facilities at all.
5.4. Project Impacts
5.4.1. Impacts on Land
The project design for mne entire iiacuag-Gigaquit-Claver section of NRIM-Phase Igenerally followed the center line of the existing road pavements. There were a fewcases where realignments were made; however, these realignments are within theexisting Right of Way (ROW) as established by the District Engineer's Office in SurigaoCity, Surigao del Norte. Hence, there are no land acquisitions in this particular sectionof the road improvement project.
5.4.2. Impacts on Structures
Census and inventory of affected assets were conducted in January- March 2001,including the conduct of baseline socio-economic survey for marginally and severelyaffected households. The cut-off date is 13 March 2001.
Based on the RAP Census, 159 structures will be affected by the road improvementproject: 119 are structures which would be severely affected by the road improvementproject and 40 will be marginally affected.
In both severe and marginally affected structures, the common use are residential,commercial, and commercial/residential (structures used for both residential andcommercial purposes). Among severely affected structures, the three categoriesaccount for about three quarters (69%) of the total structures (Table 5.4.2). Theremainder is spread across structures used as public infrastructures, public utilities andother uses such as walkways and school fences, among others.
The proportion of the three categories in the marginally affected structures is even muchhigher, which is estimated at about 77.5 percent. The remaining proportion isdistributed across public infrastructures and other uses.
Of the 159 structures, the road project will affect 113 PAP households who will beadversely affected by the loss of their main structure (i.e. independent house, cum storeor independent shops). 82 PAFs are severely affected and 31 are marginally affected. On
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-Claver Road 18
the other hand, 412 PAP households who are losing an estimated 3,810 trees andperennials of various species have been identified.
5.4.3. Loss of Income
In some cases, particularly if the structures are used for commercial purposes, incomeloss will also be a significant consequence of the road improvement projects. Theproportion of structures used fully or partially for commercial purposes will provide anindicative extent of the income loss. Based on the LARR policy, income loss isestimated on the basis of foregone earnings of the commercial establishment during theconstruction period not exceeding the equivalent income for thirty days.
5.4.4. Impact on Land Improvements
Within the area of affected structures particularly those which are residential, there areagricultural improvements that will be affected by the project. The most common cropsare coconuts and fruit trees. In cases such as these, improvements are assessed andvalued using the current market prices of construction materials as provided by theDistrict Engineers Office, Department of Public Works and Highways.
5.5. Compensation Package
5.5.1. Entitlements
There are no land acquisitions in the Bacuag-Claver-Provincial Bdry Road Sectionimprovement project. Hence, the compensation entitlements are limited, as the casemaybe, to affected structures, trees and other improvements and disturbancecompensations such as foregone income and subsistence allowance for PAFs.
5.5.2. Affected Structures
Based on the guidelines, if the total floor area affected exceeds 20 percent of the totalfloor area of the structure, the impact is considered severe. In such cases, the wholestructure will be acquired and estimated for payments. However, in the implementationof the survey, field workers were given the prerogative to deviate from the rigid 20percent cut-off to allow for special cases for considerations. For instance, it will notrequire 20 percent of damage for light structures and shanties to destroy the stability ofthe structure; hence, judgments are made at the field where even at less 20 percent, somestructures were considered to be severely affected. They are also cases where mitigationmeasures can be suggested to spare huge and expensive structures. All structures arewithin the ROW as established by the DPWH. Hence, entitlements are on the basis of
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 19
their being owners or tenants of structures. In this case, entitlements are patterned in theschedule outlined in Table 5.5.4.
5.53. Land Improvements in Absentee Landholdings
During the course of the RAP Survey, valuable land improvements along the roads weredetermined to be affected by the road improvement project. However, in cases where thelandowners or tenants are non-settlers in the area, it was deemed appropriate forpractical purposes, to simply locate the specific improvement along the road section andattach the corresponding value.
5.5.4. Compensation Matrix
In line with the aforementioned objectives and principles of resettlement (Chapter 3) andthe legal framework (Chapter 4), the matrix below will be used in the settlement ofclaims for compensation for lost assets of PAPs. Unless otherwise indicated, payment ofcompensation and other entitlements and the extension of assistance will be given to PAPhouseholds, not individuals. No relocation site is being envisaged for the project. PAFsthat will be adversely affected by the loss of their main structures will reorganize theirstructures on adjacent or nearby lots.

NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 27
Hence, there are only four distinct types of PAFs in relation to affected structures:marginally affected owners; marginally affected non-owners; severely affected owners;and severely affected non-owners. Additional entitlements depending on the attributesof the PAFs are provided for as outlined in the entitlement matrix in the LARR Policy.
Since the PAFs are thinly stretched along the entire segment, there will be no elaboraterelocation scheme. Each severely affected PAF will have to individually workout theirown relocation process using the proceeds of the compensation package that accrue tothem as part of their entitlements.
5.5.5. Value of affected Perennials
As mentioned earlier, the value of perennials was estimated based on the current marketprices as provided by the District Engineers Office, Department of Public Works andHighways.
All in all, about PhP 332,725.00 will be required to compensate for damages to trees andother perennials.
5.5.6 Compensation Matrix for Resident PAFs
Based on the LARR policy the compensation entitlements are summarized in Table 5.5.4.At this point it is deemed appropriate to outline the basic assumptions adopted tooperationalize the entitlements provided for under the Policy.
5.5.6.1. Replacement Costs.
The affected structures were mainly categorized as residential, commercial,commercial/residential, public infrastructures, public utilities and other types ofstructures. The structures, based on the linear acquisition survey were evaluated as towhether the impact is severe or marginal following the guidelines in the LARR Policyand the appropriate cost entitlements were estimated using the replacement cost concept.
5.5.6.2. Land Improvements
In most cases, other valuable improvements within the home lot were also affected.These improvements were also valued to form part of the total compensation package forthe PAFs. Valuation of other structures were done on the basis of the replacement costsconcept and valuation of crop improvements were done on the basis of the currentmarket value.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 28
5.5.6.3. Income Loss
In cases commercial structures, owners and tenants were entitled to a compensation offoregone income as a projected consequence of the implementation of the roadimprovement project. Income losses were determined as equivalent to the estimatedaverage monthly gross sales of the commercial enterprise.
5.5.6.4. Relocation Allowance
Renters of severely affected structures were expected to be dislocated from their currentdwellings. Hence, as provided for in the LARR policy, these PAFs were entitled to arelocation allowance equivalent to their respective monthly rental.
5.5.7. Compensation Package
Table 5.5.7 summarizes the compensation package for the PAFs based on the estent ofimpact, type of structures and the additional compensation entitlements.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-ClaverRoad 29

Particulars Extent of ImpactMarginal Severe Total
PAFs Amount PAFs Amount1. Replacement Costs of Structures
In addition to the compensation package to the PAFs, RAP implementation will entailoverhead and logistical costs. This cost covers the management of the implementationprocess, honoraria to field personnel and committee members, maintenance andoperating expenses and financial administration, among others. It is suggested here thatthe total implementation costs of the RAP be pegged at 10 percent of the totalcompensation to the PAFs. Hence, the implementation cost is projected at about PhP
5.5.9. Distribution of Total Compensation by Municipality
As a matter of policy, RAP implementation will be done by the DPWH DistrictEngineers Office in collaboration with the local government units through the MunicipalRAP Implementing Committee (MRIC). Hence, there is the need to outline the totalcompensation package by municipality.
5.5.9.1. Marginally Affected Structures
The total compensation package for 40 marginally affected structures is estimated atroughly PhP 639,246 (Table 5.5.10.1). This compensation package includes replacementcosts to structures, crop improvements within the vicinity of the structure, and forgoneeamings for structures used fully or partially for commercial purposes.

The bulk of the compensation accrues to the owners of marginally affected commercialor residential/commercial structures with a combined estimated costs of about PhP360,000. The remaining cost estimate of about PhP280,000 is spread across the otheruses including residential, public facilities and other structures.
By municipality, Claver and Gigaquit have the higher compensation packages estimatedat about PhP 376,006 and PhP 243,435 respectively. The higher compensation forClaver is attributed to the damage to commercial cum residential structures estimated atPhP253,436.
5.5.9.2. Severely Affected Structures
There are about 119 severely affected structures with an estimated total entitlements ofPhP 3,839,136 (Table 5.5.10.2). This package is spread across the three municipalities,by types of structures.

6. Implementation Schedule
The implementation of the RAP follows as soon as the World Bank concurs with thesalient features of the RAP as endorsed by the GOP through DPWH/IBRD-PMO. Afterthe approval of the RAP Report, implementation will be managed by the EIAPO withthe supervision of the IBRD-PMO.
6.1. MOU and Establishment of Committees
Table 6 outlines the fundamental steps, procedures and schedule of the activitiesrequired for the implementation of the RAP. To set up the structural basis for theimplementation of RAP, the institutionalization of the roles of the various stakeholdersin the project will have to be operationalized. This can be done through the signing of aMemorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the DPWH and the Local GovernmentUnits. The MOU will pave the way for the establishment of the various committeesrequired for the implementation of RAP, namely; the municipal-based ResettlementImplementation Committee (RIC) and the Grievance Committee.
6.2. Training-Orientation on RAP Implementation
Because the concept and the process are relatively new even to the DPWH bureaucracy,there is need to orient the District Offices and the counterpart members of the LocalGovernment Units (LGUs) on the RAP Implementation procedures.
Immediately following the formation of the MRIC, its members will be oriented on thework of the committee. Specifically, the MRIC members will be trained in RAP policiesand implementation procedures
6.3. Validation of RAP Report
With the assumptions that the implementing mechanisms for the RAP at all levels hasbeen established, then all the stakeholders can participate in the collaborative work ofvalidating the RAP Report prepared by the consulting Firm. Validation will involvecross checking of the identified PAFs, the accuracy of the linear acquisition, andvalidation of entitlements and compensation.
6.4. Public Infornation Campaign
As soon as the validating team finds the RAP Report to be satisfactory or is incompliance with the standards set in the LARR Policy Framework, then a publicinformation campaign can be launched to reiterate the existence of the project and toallow the PAFs to prepare the necessary supporting documents, if needed, for thecompensation to be made possible.
NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaquit-Claver Road 34
6.5. Finalization of the Compensation Package
Subject to modifications in response to changing price conditions, the compensationpackage will then be finalized to determine the amount to be paid for each individualPAF. Once completed, PAFs will be asked to fill up some forms to indicate theirconcurrence to the compensation package and to the terms and conditions of thecompensation.
6.6. Public Meeting/Disclosure
In a public forum, PAFs will be made aware of their entitlements as a consequence ofproject disturbance. At this point in time, PAFS will also be informed of the schedule ofpayments and the schedule of civil works to allow the PAFs to prepare for theirreorganization or relocation and to harvest any standing agricultural crops.
6.7. Cut-off Date
As provided for in the policy, only structures existing on or before March 13, 2001 willbe entitled to the compensation package.
6.8. Payment
Payment will have to be done in a public place. Hence, the RIC should coordinate withthe LGU officials to ensure that PAFs within their areas of jurisdiction are made awareof the schedules of payments.
6.9. Handing Over the Site for Civil Works
One month before the scheduled start of civil works, RAP implementation shall havebeen completed. This means that PAFs have been paid, reorganized or relocated, and allthe stakeholders in the implementation process have performed their tasks in accordanceto the DPWH Resettlement Policy.

7. Monitoring and Evaluation
The underlying principle of the LARR Policy Framework, in general, and the RAP inparticular, is to provide mitigating measures to at least ensure that the PAFs will not beworse off as a consequence of the road improvement project. It is for this reason that thesurvey instrument was designed to capture the critical aspects of the PAFs social andeconomic conditions to provide the benchmark for future assessments in the context ofmonitoring and evaluation.
The instrument was also designed to capture the salient attributes of the PAFs and theiraffected properties to ensure that the monitoring and evaluation team can validate aswhether or not the determination of the entitlements and the estimation of compensationsare along the principles outlined in the LARR Policy Framework.
The PAFs profile, the entitlements and the estimated compensation packages presentedin the earlier sections are mere summaries of the raw data structured in a standarddatabase format. Electronic copies of the database are provided for to facilitate themonitoring and evaluation of the RAP implementation and impact.
Monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the RAP is designed to be conductedat two levels: internal and external monitoring. Internal monitoring will be conductedby the Environmental and Social Services/EIAPO in collaboration with the DitrictOffices, the local government units (LGUs) and the PAFs. DPWH will solicit theservices of independent agencies such as research and academic institutions, or otherqualified consulting firms to conduct the external monitoring and evaluation (EMA).
