MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

M

ESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRPERSON For several decades, Mindanao has faced challenges on persistent and pervasive poverty, as well as chronic threats to peace. Fortunately, it has shown a considerable amount of resiliency. Given this backdrop, an integrative framework has been identified as one strategic intervention for Mindanao to achieve and sustain inclusive growth and peace. It is in this context that the role of the NEDA Board-Regional Development Committee-Mindanao becomes crucial and most relevant in the realization of inclusive growth and peace in Mindanao, that has been elusive in the past.

I commend the efforts of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) for initiating the formulation of an Area Spatial Development Framework such as the Mindanao Spatial Strategy/Development Framework (MSS/DF), 2015-2045, that provides the direction that Mindanao shall take, in a more spatially-defined manner, that would accelerate the physical and economic integration and transformation of the island, toward inclusive growth and peace. It does not offer “short-cut solutions” to challenges being faced by Mindanao, but rather, it provides guidance on how Mindanao can strategically harness its potentials and take advantage of opportunities, both internal and external, to sustain its growth. During the formulation and legitimization of this document, the RDCom-Mindanao Area Committee (MAC) did not leave any stone unturned as it made sure that all Mindanao Regions, including the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), have been extensively consulted as evidenced by the endorsements of the respective Regional Development Councils (RDCs)/Regional Economic Development and Planning Board (REDPB) of the ARMM. Significantly, this is a manifestation of their support and commitment to pursue the various priority programs and projects in Mindanao that will implement this Framework in the next 30 years. With the recent gains to finally bring peace in Mindanao, the MSS/DF has become more necessary and urgent. Therefore, I enjoin all partners in government, the private and business sectors, and civil society to proactively collaborate so that the vision of a peaceful, safe, resilient and socially-inclusive Mindanao of diverse cultures shall be achieved. Mabuhay!

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

E

XECUTIVE

S

UMMARY

The Mindanao Spatial Strategy/Development Framework (MSS/DF), 2015-2045 is a 30-year development framework that provides spatial and development directions primarily aims to physically and economically integrate the Mindanao regions. It updates the Mindanao Strategic Development Framework, 2010-2020 but with more spatial dimensions as it adopts the National Spatial Strategy or the NSS which is the core spatial strategy of the National Physical Framework Plan (NPFP). The key strategies are Concentration, Connectivity and Vulnerability Reduction. Among the land use components, the MSSDF focuses on settlements or more precisely, the spatial distribution of population including size and structure because population drives all others (production, protection and infrastructure). Urban areas are of particular interest because these and their vicinities are where the greatest land use conflicts with the natural environment and rural-based production emanate, where infrastructure is most intense, and recently, where majority of production output is based.

Existing Situation Mindanao’s land classification has two (2) main categories: a) forestlands; and b) alienable and disposable (A & D) land. Forestlands comprise 6,031,788.45 hectares or approximately 60.5% of the total, while A & D lands comprise 3,931,874.79 hectares or approximately 39.5% of the island’s total land area. In terms of existing or actual land uses for Mindanao, 55.9% of total land area or 56,248.57 sqkms are used for cultivated crops, wooded lands, shrubs, grassland and barren lands. This is followed by use for forests (both closed and open), forest plantations, inland water, mangrove forests and marshland comprising 24.7% of total land area or about 24,830.5 sqkms. The least uses are for built-up areas or settlements at only 1.4% or 1,401.09 sq kms, and for fishpond use at 492.4 sqkms or a mere 0.5% of total land area of Mindanao. Mindanao’s network of settlements was determined based on the positive relationship of population size and the presence or absence of specific services, commodities and facilities. The existing settlement pattern of the region is derived from the criteria of functional roles of network of growth areas. Davao City serves as the Regional Center in Mindanao; political and industrial center; and with high access to basic facilities and services. Around twenty (20) cities are categorized as sub-regional centers. They serve as component cities and secondary urban growth and trade centers. Both the Regional Center and Sub-regional Centers are connected to the global economy, primarily through Metro Manila, and in some areas such as Cebu and other cities of the country through their own resource base. The remaining cities and municipalities are categorized as provincial and local centers. Provincial Centers are emerging growth centers.

Development Challenges The fundamental challenge of Mindanao is to harness its potentials in support to sustainable development that aligns with strengthening concentration of settlements, connectivity for far-flung areas; and reducing vulnerabilities to disaster and climate change to keep Mindanao people from persistent poverty.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

xxv

MSS/DF outlines the major development challenges which Mindanao faces and consistent with the key strategies of the NSS: Concentration: a) Unregulated conversion of agricultural land for urban expansion and other uses; b) Low productivity of production areas compromising Mindanao’s capacity to achieve food security; c) Increasing demand for quality basic social services including housing due to population growth in urban areas; d) Poor waste management resulting in increased health and environment risks Connectivity: a) Poor infrastructure in terms of quality, extent, and type compromising connectivity within and beyond Mindanao borders; and b) Lack of alternative routes, which may result in isolation of some settlements and production areas during disasters. Vulnerability Reduction: a) Proliferation of settlements and encroachment of production activities in protected and hazard prone areas; and b) High susceptibility of some settlements and production areas to natural hazards. There are also cross-cutting issues that impede the development of Mindanao and needs a holistic solution. These include: a) Persistent and pervasive poverty (multi-dimensional aspect of poverty); b) Insufficient power supply; and c) Chronic threats to peace in some areas in Mindanao by CNN, and separatist/other armed groups.

Development Framework Envisioned by 2045 is a peaceful, safe, resilient, and socially-inclusive Mindanao of diverse cultures harmoniously enjoying a sustainable and competitive agri-industrial and resource-based economy that shall elevate itself to a knowledge-based and ICT-driven economy. Drawing from its rich natural resources and strong human potentials, Mindanao seeks to achieve inclusive growth as it becomes a competitive and sustainable agri-industrial center of the Philippines. To support this, Mindanao has set the following objectives: a) improve productivity of all sectors; b) ensure access to adequate and quality basic social services; c) enhance connectivity among settlements; d) increase resilience of communities to disasters; e) ensure the integrity of the environment; and f) and sustain the gains of the various peace efforts.

Development Strategies Mindanao shall adopt a multi-nodal spatial development strategy that consist of a network of growth areas that identifies only 1 metropolitan center- Metropolitan Davao and 11 regional centers led by the cities of Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, and Zamboanga. The rest are either Sub-regional centers or provincial local centers. The proposed growth centers are strategically connected through the island’s intermodal network (air, land and sea routes) that physically and economically integrates Mindanao such that major trading linkages are established to ensure that Metro Davao and Cagayan de Oro are strengthened. The connectivity strategy is significant as far-flung areas, particularly in the ARMM or the proposed Bangsamoro areas are efficiently connected to the regional centers and to the metro center to ensure access to economic opportunities that will lead to poverty reduction as poverty incidence is predominant in most regions in

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

Mindanao. The spatial strategy identifies Davao as a Metropolitan Center for the Island economy of Mindanao while Regional Centers such as Cagayan de Oro shall become a metro area by 2025, General Santos City by 2035, and Zamboanga by 2045. Metro Davao shall serve as the island’s principal administrative, financial and commercial hub while the 4 regional centers are Mindanao’s core areas for industrial diversification and specialization, logistics agglomeration and settlement build-up, consolidating their influence regions’ respective agri-industrial strengths. Mindanao’s integration with the rest of the country and the world is possible with these 4 gateways. Mindanao shall be strategically and efficiently developed through its network of agri-industrial corridors known as the Key Development Zones or the KDZs. These are strategically located in the growth centers that shall focus on the development of agri-fishery and marine resources; tourism; timber and mineral resources; power; and specialized services such as health, finance, education and ICT. Although these KDZs are based on natural endowments, these shall be developed for industrial, for more value-adding and not focused on extraction. To address the various challenges, Mindanao shall pursue the following strategic options: Concentration: a) promote redevelopment of built-up areas to improve efficiency of basic services; b) strategic densification of priority areas; c) conserve productive agricultural lands and encourage utilization of unproductive marginal lands for settlements; d) develop alternative sources of energy; e) adopt selective policy for extractive industries in deference to local sentiments; f) Mindanao as centers for education, health, retirement and financial services; g) update CLUPs and enforce zoning ordinances; h) promote land banking for socialized housing. Connectivity: a) adopt resilient and green technologies in infrastructure development; b) provide major infrastructure support facilities to and from settlement, production and marketing centers particularly in hazard prone areas to ensure redundancy of access; and c) ensure strong and viable transport modes, such as mass and rapid transport system. Vulnerability Reduction: a) sustain environmental protection and conservation through strict enforcement of environmental laws; b) adopt uniform/complementing guidelines in mainstreaming DRR/CCA in local level plans; c) relocate hazard-exposed settlements to safer areas that cannot be relocated, ensure that mitigating measures are instituted; and d) manage economic centers to lead population to safer and peaceful areas. Cross-cutting: a) Engender popular and multi-sectoral support for the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL); and b) expand the scope and intensify the delivery of peace and development outreach programs.

Demographic Profile Mindanao is home to 21.96 million people or 23.79 percent of the country’s total population (2010). Mindanao’s population is growing at an average annual growth rate of 1.89 percent (2000-2010), lower than that of the previous decade (1990-2000). If the current growth rate is maintained, Mindanao’s population is expected to double in 36 years. The island has a population density of 171 persons per square kilometer. Mindanao’s population is relatively young. Thirty-six percent belong to the 0-14 year-old age group, 60.34 percent are in the productive ages, while 3.57 percent are in ages 65 years and over. The overall dependency ratio in 2010 was 66, which meant that for every 100 persons aged 15-64 years, there were 66 dependents. Sixty were young dependents and six were old dependents. In terms of sex ratio, there are 102 males for every 100 females in Mindanao.

Economy and Employment The Mindanao economy was the fastest growing economy in 2010, among the Philippines’ three island groups with an annual average rate of 6.15 percent, faster by 0.55 percentage points than the Visayas’, and by 1.4 percentage points than Luzon’s. Mindanao’s GRDP was about 14.29 percent of the entire Philippines, placing third after NCR and Luzon and higher by 1.57 percentage points than that of the Visayas’ share. Mindanao’s total trade reflects an increasing trend over the years. For the year 2013 Mindanao posted a 15 percent growth amounting to $7.6 billion on free-on-board (FOB) receipts, as compared to US$ 6.6 billion and US$ 5.738 billion receipts in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Likewise, Mindanao’s total export earnings in 2012 amounted to US$ 4.187 billion or an increase of 16.7 percent increase from 2011’s US$ 3.588 billion. Region XI was the biggest contributor to Mindanao’s export, comprising 36.21 percent (US$ 1.516 billion), followed by Region X with 27.05 percent or equivalent to US$1.133 billion. Mindanao’s top export earners were coconut (copra), palm kernel, banana (fresh or dried), nickel ores and concentrates, fruits, nuts and other edible parts of plants, fish (prepared or preserved) and caviar, and other commodities such as acyclic alcohols and gold, among others. Mindanao’s total imports for 2013 reached US$1.2 billion. These imports comprised mainly of petroleum oils, wheat and muesli, milk and cream, frozen fish, and mineral or chemical fertilizers, among others. Mindanao’s major trading partners are United States, China, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands and Taiwan. Mindanao’s employment rate was generally better than the Philippines’ and the Visayas’ over the sixyear period from 2006 to 2012. Mindanao’s employment rate was at 93.8 percent on the average compared to the Philippines’ 91.18 percent and the Visayas’ 92.12 percent. Regions with the highest employment rates in Mindanao were ARMM at 96.6 percent and Region IX at 96.2 percent. Region XII followed at 95.8 percent, then Northern Mindanao at 95.3 percent.

Marginalization, social injustice, lack of political autonomy, non-delivery of services and poverty are combined and integrated causes of the “Mindanao Conflict” which often erupted into armed encounters MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF) 4 between government forces and Islamic extremists and the New Peoples Army-Communist Party

PLANNING ENVIRONMENT injustice, lack of political autonomy, non-delivery of services and poverty are combined and integrated causes of the “Mindanao Conflict” which often erupted into armed encounters between government forces and Islamic extremists and the New Peoples Army-Communist Party of the Philippines-National Democratic Front (CNN). The marginalization of Muslims and indigenous peoples or lumads in Mindanao is historically rooted in the land settlement and migration of the colonial and post-colonial Philippines. Before the influx of people from Luzon and Visayas, the Muslims and lumads enjoyed territorial possession of lands under a sultanate system and traditional ancestral lands, respectively. However, the institutionalization of the state’s Torrens titling system, which recognizes individual land ownership, contradicted the traditional concept of communal ownership observed and practised by Muslim and other indigenous communities. The state’s recognition of individual land ownership, evidenced by an individual’s possession of a Torrens Land Title, tended to favor Christian settlers who were more literate and adept at using the law to their advantage than Muslims and non-Christians/non-Muslims, who were ignorant of the laws and incapable of using legal processes involved in land titling, let alone able to afford the exorbitant fees required. The inability of most Muslims and other ethnic groups to claim individual ownership over lands they have held since time immemorial through the Torrens Land Title system virtually rendered them ‘squatters’ in their own domain. The displacement of Muslims and lumads impacted greatly on their cultural and religious expression, as well as on their identity. The sultanates and tribal councils, which used to be recognized as a system of government in the Philippines before and even during the Spanish rule, were swept aside by colonial rules and republicanism. Compounding the displacement of Muslims and the lumads, who were eventually considered as the “minorities”, was the inability of the post-colonial and later the republican government to adequately deliver their basic socio-economic needs. Several attempts were made by the present-day government to provide the Muslims and the lumads their desire for self-determination, specifically the enactment of laws and formulation of policies. On 10 September 2014, House Bill No. 4994 entitled An Act Providing for the Basic Law for the Bangsamoro and Abolishing the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Repealing for the Purpose RA Nos. 9054 and 6734, was introduced to the Philippine Congress. The bill embodies the comprehensive peace agreement between the Philippine Government and the MILF, with the aim to end the decadeslong armed conflict in some parts of Mindanao and establish a political entity that allows meaningful self-governance. The Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act of 1997 or Republic Act No. 8371, was enacted to recognize, protect and promote the rights of the indigenous cultural communities/indigenous peoples. Other resistance armed groups that contribute to the Mindanao Conflict are the CNN and the Abu Sayyaf Group. The New People’s Army (NPA) was created in 1969, whose aim is to attain power, transform the political system, and alter the country’s reigning socioeconomic model. The Communist Party of the Philippines and the National Democratic Front (NDF), umbrella groups for other communist inspired organizations, are political referents for the NPA. Since 1986, the NPA has held peace talks with the government, though without reaching a ceasefire agreement, and notwithstanding the low-intensity nature of hostilities. MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

Abu Sayyaf, a radical Islamic group, is another of the main instigators of armed violence today. Established in 1991, Abu Sayyaf, though initially a place for mildly alienated members of the MILF and MNLF, has since distanced itself entirely from the two groups in its fight for an independent Islamic state and has been responsible, on an increasingly systematic basis, for some atrocities. In a comparative perspective, all these forms of conflict are low-intensity, whose outbreaks into violence are intermittent but frequent. Although clashes between the government and insurgencies overall have declined somewhat over recent years, Mindanao continues in a state of neither war nor assured peace.

Existing Situation The existing situation is anchored on 3 key NSS principles: concentration, connectivity and vulnerability reduction. The assessment focuses on the settlements (size, structure and spatial distribution of Mindanao’s population) as the presence of people makes production, protection of the natural environment and infrastructure relevant. It determines the level of access to the benefits associated with urbanization. It assesses the ability of the settlements to absorb growth towards increasing investment and employment opportunities, poverty reduction, transportation and communication linkages and disaster risk reduction.

Concentration Size, Structure and Spatial Distribution of Population The Philippines had a total population of about 92.3 million in 2010, 57 percent of which were in Luzon, 19 percent in the Visayas and 24 percent in Mindanao. Over the ten-year period 2000-2010,the country’s population grew at an annual rate of 1.90 percent. Luzon’s population grew at an annual rate of 2.02 percent, the Visayas at 1.49 percent and Mindanao at 1.94 percent. Mindanao had a total population of about 21.96 million in 2010 and its growth had declined from an annual average growth rate of 2.40 percent during the period 1990-2000. Among the Mindanao regions, the Davao and Northern Mindanao Regions had the largest population at 20.3 percent and 19.6 percent, respectively; Caraga, on the other hand, had the lowest population at 11.1 percent. In both the 1990-2000 and 2000-2010 periods, SOCCKSARGEN registered the fastest annual growth rate at 2.99 percent and 2.46 percent, respectively. Caraga had grown slower at an annual growth rate of 1.73 percent and 1.49 percent during the same periods (Table 1.1). Table 1.1.

Among the cities and municipalities, Datu Hoffer Ampatuan in Maguindanao had the highest population growth rate for the periods 1990-2000 and 2000-2010, at 5.12 percent and 10.75 percent, respectively. Other municipalities that have had high population growth rates were Tangcal in Lanao del Norte; Paglat in Maguindanao; Palimbang in Sultan Kudarat Province; and Carmen in North Cotabato (Annex 1.1 Population Growth Rate of Top 5 Municipalities). While Davao City did not figure in the top 40-population growth rate, the 2010 Census of Population showed that the City accounted for 6.60 percent of Mindanao’s total population (Annex 1.2). Also, except for Cotabato City that grew about 5.19 percent during the period 2000-2010, other cities in Mindanao grew less than 3.0 percent (Annex 1.2 Population Growth Rate, Top 40 Municipalities and Cities). Relatedly, Davao City dominates the hierarchy in terms of population and spatial distribution as it also ranked number one among Mindanao’s top 50 settlements during the period 1990-2010. In the same period, Settlements Rank Groups #1-5 which included the Cities of Davao, Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos and Iligan, grew the most at 2.17 percent. On the other hand,the Settlements Rank Groups #5-10 which included the Cities of Butuan, Cotabato, Tagum, Marawi and Pagadian, grew by 0.46 percent. The Settlements Rank Group from #11-15 to #46-50 showed a decreasing trend during the same period (Table 1.2). Table 1.2. Population Shares of Top 50 Settlements by Rank Group, 1990-2010 Rank

PLANNING ENVIRONMENT experienced urbanization rates moving toward higher levels were Bunawan, 19 percent; Lantapan, 12 percent; Pantukan, 11 percent and Sto. Tomas, 10 percent (Annex 1.6 Municipalities and Cities with Above 50 Percent Urbanization Level). While access to better facilities and opportunities played a vital role for migration from rural to urban areas, for urbanizing settlements, larger demand for land and higher levels of services and amenities/ facilities are required. Crucial to this is the link among settlementsin the form of communication and transportation facilities. The demand for land will have an effect on the production areas, any expansion of development areas, as well as, on the environment. Thus, for highly urbanized settlements, the challenge is to provide a resilient environment to mitigate the effects of development and for the growing settlements to increase the scale and efficiency of services. As shown in Table 1.3, Mindanao’s top 25 settlements had 31.9 percent of its total population, while 42.2 percent was found in the top 50 settlements. The Settlements Rank Group #1-25 increased its population share from 29.38 percent in 1990 to 31.87 percent in 2010. An increase was also noted for #76-100 (0.25 percent) and #426-455 (0.1 percent) settlements in 2010. It is, however, noted that while the top 25 settlements have been increasing their population share in 20 years, population in other settlements have started to go down. The #26-50 settlements rank group decreased its population share from 10.60 percent in 1990 to 10.35 percent in 2010. Table 1.3.

In terms of road density, Mindanao had 0.066 kilometers of national roads for every square kilometer of land area (Table 1.5). Among the Mindanao regions, only ARMM had a national road density, at 0.030 km/sq.km., that is less than half of Mindanao’s national road density. Region XI, which hosts the highly-urbanized City of Davao, runs only third to Region X and Region IX in terms of national road density. Among the major growth centers in Mindanao, Cagayan de Oro City had the highest national road density with 0.2 km/sq.km., followed by Butuan City with 0.123 km/sq.km. On the other hand, the national road densities of the Cities of Davao and Zamboanga were just about half of that of Cagayan de Oro, but still higher than Mindanao’s. On a national scale, Mindanao had the lowest national road density among the three major island groups, which was led by the Visayas with 0.128 km/sq.km and Luzon with 0.094 km/sq. km. The National Capital Region (NCR) had the highest national road density with 1.81 km/sq.km., which is double the national average. This is followed by Region IV-A which mostly comprises of the provinces within the coverage of the Greater Manila Area, and Region VII which covers Metro Cebu.

Other areas of strategic importance are still to be linked by major road networks and not yet served by transport facilities such as the direct route between Region XIII and the Province of Bukidnon in Region X, and the Province of Davao del Sur in Region XI and Region XII through the Sarangani-Davao del Sur Coastal Road and Padada-Columbio Road. Despite long stretches of the national road network in some Mindanao regions, traffic congestion is currently experienced especially along major sections of the national arterial road in Metro Davao, Cagayan de Oro City, Iligan City and other growth centers in Mindanao because of the rapid development of the metropolitan and regional centers. There is also increased passenger traffic between the cities of Pagadian and Zamboanga due to the transfer of the regional seat from Zamboanga City to Pagadian City. The Road Inventory and Road Condition Survey conducted by DPWH revealed that 63 percent of the national road network in Mindanao (excluding ARMM), totaling 5,024.47 kilometers, is in good or fair condition (Table 1.6). On the other hand, roads in poor condition have a total length of 1,462.77 kilometers while those in bad condition have a total length of 798.57 kilometers.

Several portions of the strategic road networks in Mindanao are either already overloaded or will experience overloading in a couple of years. Road and traffic conditions within and outside urban areas in Mindanao need to be continually improved to support the growth of tourism, industry and trade. The two-lane width of most arterial national roads and bridges is no longer adequate for the increasing volume of traffic along major highways, especially in growth centers. Road safety signs and structures need to be put in place in appropriate sections of the roads, particularly along accident-prone areas. In addition, there is a need to allocate bicycle and motorcycle lanes, and construct loading and unloading bays along major thoroughfares, especially in urban centers.

The current and projected traffic growth in urban areas suggests that transportation services will need to be restructured and improved to continue to provide basic mobility and to enhance the economy. The introduction of urban mass transport system, like trains, will provide safe, affordable and reliable commuter service, and contribute to the reduction of carbon (green house gas) emission and adverse effects of climate change in the long run. The establishment of a Mindanao Railway System is seen as a more efficient, reliable and affordable mode of transport that will boost the tourism industry and overall economic development of Mindanao as this will facilitate greater connectivity among Mindanao regions. The proposed rail system will connect all major growth centers in Mindanao spanning a total length of approximately 2,000 kilometers. The initial phase of the proposed project, with a length of 124 kilometers, will run from Iligan City to Cagayan de Oro City, traverse ten (10) coastal municipalities and pass through the Laguindingan Airport in Misamis Oriental. With a substantial investment requirement for the whole system, the economic and financial viability of the project needs to be established. Also eyed for the long term is the establishment of an urban mass rapid transport system along Davao Region’s coastal areas starting from Tagum City in Davao del Norte, through Davao City, and down to Digos City in Davao del Sur. Another major project being proposed is the Tagum-Davao-General Santos High-Standard Highway which covers the widening to 4-lane divided road for the Tagum-Davao Road; flyover construction in Davao City; construction of second diversion road; widening of Davao, Digos, Gen. Santos section; and, construction of Gen. Santos City circumferential road. The Business Case Study undertaken by DPWH in 2013 concluded that the 4-lane road is not yet financially feasible as a toll road, and recommended that the road project is suitable for Official Development Assistance given its very high economic indicators. Nonetheless, road widening and improvement works, as well as slope protection projects along the Tagum-Davao-General Santos Corridor were ongoing in many of its sections. Likewise, a preparatory survey is being conducted on the Davao City Bypass Construction, to appraise the project for possible funding under Japan’s Yen Loan. The bypass will start at Toril in the southern portion of Davao City and exit near the boundary between Davao and Panabo Cities, to connect with Daang Maharlika. The recommended alignment of the bypass will cover a length of approximately 44.8 kilometers with a tunnel length of 2.2 kilometers (as of July 2014). In the pipeline is the Panguil Bay Bridge Project which will connect the Provinces of Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental, as well as the Zamboanga peninsula in the northwestern part of Mindanao. The bridge will have a length of more than 3 kilometers, with 2 lanes, and will connect the Municipality of Tubod in Lanao del Norte and Tangub City in Misamis Occidental. A full-blown feasibility study is also proposed for the Samal Bridge Project that will connect mainland Davao City to the Island Garden City of Samal with a length of approximately 1.2 kilometers. Moreover, farm to market roads (FMRs) linking production areas to market centers are inadequate. Mindanao being primarily an agricultural economy, the need for farm-to-market roads and production support facilities has to be adequately addressed. Further, an integrated and effective transportation system needs to be provided to ensure connectivity and provide linkage between production areas, tourism sites, and growth centers.

Air Transportation Mindanao currently hosts 24 airports, made up of 3 international airports, 5 principal class 1 airports, 6 principal class 2 airports and 10 community airports (Table 1.7).

The international airports located in the Cities of Davao, General Santos and Zamboanga, serve as Mindanao’s gateway to the rest of the country and the ASEAN. Recently, the Laguindingan Airport in Region X has been upgraded to meet international standards. Despite the capability of the airports to handle international flights, international connections are limited. Currently, only the Davao International Airport has direct international flights, and only to Singapore. This international connection is served by SilkAir with three (3) weekly flights from Davao City. On September 1, 2014, Indonesian airline Sriwijaya Air launched its maiden flight reviving the Davao City–Manado, Indonesia air route. As a chartered service, the route has no regular scheduled flights. Fifteen (15) of the Mindanao airports operate commercial passenger flights. These are made up of airports classified as international, principal class 1 and principal class 2, including Ozamiz Airport which is the lone community airport in the group. The Davao International Airport is Mindanao’s busiest airport, handling 197 flights in a week, with both international and domestic connections to 7 destinations. 20

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

PLANNING ENVIRONMENT Second is Laguindingan Airport, with 105 flights in a week to 5 local destinations. The third busiest is the Zamboanga International Airport with 62 weekly flights to 5 local destinations. The Zamboanga International Airport is also the most connected airport in terms of inter-Mindanao travel, with linkages to 3 Mindanao destinations (Table 1.8). As of November 2014, three (3) commercial airlines provided domestic air services to/from Mindanao airports, namely: Philippine Airlines (PAL), Cebu Pacific Air and Tigerair Philippines. Cebu Pacific Air handles the most number of flights, with 69 percent of the total flights in a week, followed by PAL with 26 percent, and Tigerair Philippines with 5 percent. Starting December 12, 2014, Airasia Philippines was set to service the routes between Davao City and Cebu City, and Laguindingan (CDO) and Cebu City. Most of the flights from Mindanao airports are to Metro Manila, with almost two-thirds of the total number of domestic flights in a week. Most of the major airports in Mindanao offer daily flights to the capital, totalling 51 flights in a day, which is topped by the Davao International Airport 21 daily flights, followed by Laguindingan (CDO) Airport with 10 daily flights. Another major destination is Cebu with a combined 18 daily flights. Mindanao is also served with regular flights to other major destinations in the country, such as Bacolod and Iloilo. On the other hand, the following air linkages among Mindanao growth centers are also being served by domestic carriers: Davao City and Zamboanga, Davao City and Laguindingan (CDO), Zamboanga and Jolo, and Zamboanga and Tawi-tawi.

Airports that can serve aircraft with capacity of at least 100 seats are strategically located all over Mindanao with daily flights to/from Metro Manila. These facilities are found in most or at least accessible within two hours of the regional centers in Mindanao including Butuan, Cotabato, Dipolog, Surigao, Jolo, Pagadian, Koronadal and Tagum, as well as almost all of the sub-regional centers. The other strategic airports or those with large areas of influence but need improvement are the ones in Zamboanga and Butuan. The Zamboanga International Airport serves as gateway to the BIMP-EAGA Growth Area, and is a major player in the global fishing industry. The Butuan City airport serves the entire Caraga Region, considered as the agro-foresty and mineral center of Mindanao, and has seen high passenger growth rate. Most trunkline, secondary and feeder airports in Mindanao have limited capacity and cannot accommodate wide-bodied aircraft. Some of these airports cannot accommodate aircraft operations with great reliability and safety at daytime and nighttime operations. This suggests that the airports’ runway system should be developed with instrument approach guidance capabilities and adequate runway length, to accommodate the forecast operations as safely as possible under most weather conditions. These airports need to be upgraded and modernized to accommodate traffic growth and to cater to the needs of their ever-increasing clientele. The upgrading of the Laguindingan Airport in Misamis Oriental and Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao City had been proposed through Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Under the proposal, the private partner will undertake the operation and maintenance of the airports as well as provide additional facilities and improvements under a defined concession period.

Sea Transport The Strong Republic Nautical Highway (SRNH) connecting Mindanao had contributed to improved interisland linkages with the rest of the country, linking the island with the Visayas and onwards to Luzon. It has linked strategic areas and agricultural production centers that are critical for trade and investments. While a lot are yet to be done, ease of doing business was enhanced since it reduces travel cost and time in the transport of goods and services and mobility of people.

Ninety-eight percent (98%) of the goods from and to Mindanao are traded coastwise through the three (3) nautical highways in Mindanao which serve as the trading routes from Mindanao to the rest of the country. These are the Western Nautical Highway linking Mindanao to the Visayas and Luzon via the Iligan City-Dapitan route; the Central Nautical Highway, through Cagayan de Oro City via Camiguin; and the Eastern Nautical Highway through Surigao City via Biliran. In 2012 there were 117 seaports in Mindanao, consisting of 10 base ports, 14 terminal ports, 21 other national/municipal ports and 72 private ports (Table 1.9). The major seaports in Mindanao are located in the Cities of Davao, General Santos, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga and Surigao. Most of the goods in Mindanao are traded through these major seaports. Aside from these, major cities in Mindanao including Cotabato, Iligan and Surigao have base seaports.

Among the PPA Port System all over Mindanao, the Port Management Office (PMO)–Surigao, which covers among others the Surigao, Dapa, Lipata Ferry and Tandag port facilities, handled the biggest volume of cargo in 2013 with a share of 19 percent of the country’s total and 54 percent of Mindanao’s volume (Table 1.10). This is expected since the Eastern Nautical Highway passes through the Port traversing the North-South Backbone, the main trunk line of the national arterial road network. PMOSurigao also handled the biggest volume of foreign cargo, for both imports and exports. However, by single government port facility, the biggest volume of foreign cargo was shipped through Davao’s Sasa Port, followed by Gen. Santos Port. The combined foreign cargo throughput of these two ports just make up 7 percent of Mindanao’s total since a big portion of foreign cargo, or about 86 percent, were shipped by private ports. For outbound cargo, both domestic and foreign, the biggest volume was handled in PMO-Surigao, with a 67 percent share of the total for Mindanao. PMO-Surigao shared 80 percent of the total foreign outbound cargo of Mindanao, which is ten times more than the share of PMO-Davao and PMO-Nasipit, which were ranked second. This dominance of PMO-Surigao was for foreign outbound cargo only since most of the domestic outbound cargo was handled by PMO-Cagayan de Oro with a share of 43 percent. This may be due to the strategic location of Cagayan de Oro in terms of trade with Manila and Cebu. The size of its domestic exports is thrice than that of Davao, which came in second.

The total number of vessels and volume of cargo increase annually. However, the capacity of these ports has already been overstretched with berths overworked, leading to pre-berthing delays and damage to wharf structures. These capacity shortages include that of berthing structure, transit/cargo shed area for non-containerized cargo, container yard for containerized cargo and passenger terminal building. The improvement of Sasa Port in Davao City is currently being proposed for PPP. The Project involves the development of the existing Davao Sasa Port into a modern, international-standard container terminal to improve trade access to Mindanao and the Philippines. Likewise, a feasibility study is being proposed for the establishment of the Davao Gulf Integrated Port Complex to develop Davao Gulf as alternate transport route for intra trade as well as position it as alternate international port to strengthen its export market linkages and harness its world trade potential.Potential port components making up the complex include the ports at Maco, Madaum in Tagum City, Panabo City, Sasa in Davao City, Malalag, and Tubalan in Malita.

Information and Communications Technology The advent of new technology had impact on the economy of Mindanao regions and the people as well. It has improved connectivity between rural and urban centers in Mindanao. Emerging technologies like cellphones, laptops, tablets and the existence of internet cafés have improved communication within and outside the country. It makes information flow easily between and among regions, even between the mainland and island provinces of the ARMM. Improved communication facilities have contributed to job generation and economic productivity. With this development, no substantial increase in fixed telephone line system will be expected. Only a minimal increase in the number of telephone lines and subscribers were noted from 2010 to 2011. Among regions, Region XI has the most number of telephone lines and subscribers (Table 1.12). However, the number of telephone lines had decreased from 283,927 in 2010 to 232,570 in 2011. Telephone density in Region XI also declined from 6.51 to 5.30. Moreover, ARMM had the least number of telephone lines of only 37,864 in 2011. Mindanao regions are also being served by major mobile telecommunication companies like Globe Telecommunication, Smart Communication, Sun Cellular and internet service providers. In Region IX, the coverage of Cellular Mobile Telephone System (CMTS) providers continues to expand albeit slowly. In 2011 and 2012, the number of cell sites increased by only 11 percent and 13 percent, respectively. Smart Communications leads the pack in the number of cities and municipalities covered at 69, with Globe at 65, a close second, out of the 72 cities and municipalities in the region. In Davao Region, the target of increased CMTS coverage wherein all 49 cities/municipalities in Davao Region will be hosting at least one cell site by 2016 from 47 municipalities in 2010, was already achieved in 2011, with some cities/municipalities having more than one cellsite as of this time. However, there is still a need to put up additional cell cites since some of the areas in Mindanao regions, especially in rural areas, still do not 26

The number of licensed telecommunication stations in Regions XI and XII had been constantly increasing from 2005 to 2012 (Table 1.13). In Region IX, the number also increased from 2005 to 2009. However, a significant drop in the number of licensed radio stations was noted in 2010 to 2011, though it sharply increased in 2012. In Region X, the number of licensed radio stations steadily increased from 2005 to 2011, but decreased in 2012. In Region XIII, the number of radio stations was posted at 3,324 in 2005. This has declined in the succeeding year by more than fifty percent but a constant increase in the number of radio stations was noted starting 2006 to 2012.

All regions in Mindanao are served by both AM/FM broadcast and CATV stations. There are 121 AM, 252 FM, 122 TV and 186 CATV stations in Mindanao (Table 1.14). Region XII, Caraga and ARMM had the least number of broadcast stations. While Cable TV networks are minimal in Region XI. Hence, putting up of additional broadcast and CATV stations are still encouraged as it will also help make communication and exchange of information faster, easier and more accessible especially in rural areas.

Energy As of September 2014, all municipalities and cities in Mindanao had been energized. In terms of coverage, all barangays were already energized except in ARMM, where 6 barangays had not yet been energized. In terms of sitio coverage, only 67 percent of Mindanao’s sitios had been energized, with ARMM posting the lowest sitio energization rate of 46 percent, followed by Region XI with 54 percent. Moreover, the rate of household electricity connections in Mindanao was 67 percent, much lower than the country’s average of 82 percent. Region XIII had the highest rate of households with electricity connections at 90 percent, while the lowest was ARMM at only 33 percent.

Aside from the low rate of energization, Mindanao also suffers from poor quality of power service as evidenced by the rotating brownouts or power interruptions which, if unaddressed, would be a major hindrance in accelerating the economic growth of Mindanao. It has been estimated that the deficit in power supply will prevail until Therma South Inc. (TSI) 300-MW coal-fired power plant in Region XI shall start operation. A power supply deficit was projected to occur again in November-December 2017. A total of 17 power projects had been committed for the Mindanao Grid as of 28 February 2014,with a total capacity of 1,078.5 megawatts (MW). It consists of 6 hydroelectric power plants, 5 biomass power plants, 3 coal-fired power plants and 3 diesel or bunker-fired power plants. The 3 coal-fired power plants are expected to generate most of the expected capacity from the committed projects, with 905 MWs.

Vulnerability Reduction Hazard Characterization/Profile This section shall articulate the profiling or characterization of both the hydrometeorological and geologic hazards prevalent in Mindanao. It shall present the historical occurrences of natural disasters that reduce the vulnerability of Mindanao, as well as analyze the physical and economic implications of these hazards to existing growth centers in Mindanao.

Hydro meteorological Hazards Flood Floods are characterized by a rise in the water level when a body of water, such as a river or lake exceeds its total capacity. It is a result of heavy or continuous rainfall exceeding the absorptive capacity of soil and the flow capacity of rivers, streams and coastal areas. Flooding usually occurs in plain and low-lying areas and is exacerbated by high tide. The vast river systems and tributaries are contributory factors, especially when the amount of rain is more than usual. Other causes include the narrow and winding river channel, garbage, poor drainage system, debris in rivers and presence of informal settlers. Moreover, the Mindanao region also experiences the effects of

30

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

PLANNING ENVIRONMENT climate change, which means unusual rains during the dry months. Flooding in Mindanao is prevalent, such that majority of its 411 municipalities are exposed and susceptible to this hazard (Figure 1.12). In fact, for Davao Region alone, 44 (96%) of its 46 municipalities are floodprone areas. This is followed by ARMM at 51%. Zamboanga Peninsula is affected by flooding due to continuous heavy rains, whether sudden or long duration, as a result of typhoon or other weather-related disturbances. Flooding has caused huge damages to agricultural lands, buildings, houses and infrastructures. There are about 51 municipalities in the region which are prone to flooding. One hundred seventeen out of the 1,904 barangays in the region are likewise flood-prone with 74,468 families at risk. The municipalities highly susceptible to flooding are Molave, Labangan, Dinas and Salug in Zamboanga del Sur; Sindangan, Sibuco, Manukan, Siocon and Katipunan in Zamboanga del Norte; Kabasalan, Imelda, Payao, Tungawan, Diplahan, Siay, Bayog, Buug, R.T. Lim and Malangas in Zamboanga Sibugay as well as the cities of Isabela, Dipolog, Dapitan and Zamboanga. In the Northern Mindanao Region, the three provinces of Bukidnon, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental and 39 municipalities are prone to flooding. Bukidnon is the most frequented by natural calamities based on OCD-X reports, followed by Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte. Of all natural events, flooding and flash flood are the most common. In December 16-17, 2011, devastation was brought about by TS Sendong affecting the three major cities of the region, namely Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and Valencia which recorded the biggest amount of damage to properties. In Region XI, the provinces of Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur and Davao Oriental with its 44 municipalities are prone to flooding and rain-induced landslides. Among provinces, Compostela Valley Province is the most susceptible to floods and landslides, particularly, the municipalities of Compostela, Monkayo, Montevista and New Bataan (Brgy. Andap) which were badly hit by Typhoon Pablo in December of 2012. These areas have low lying elevation and act as catchment basins of the runoff water from the higher grounds. During Typhoon Pablo, Barangay Andap in New Bataan was literally levelled to the ground due to the flashfloods and debris flow. The municipalities in Davao Oriental along the eastern seaboard of the region have portions delineated as highly susceptible to landslide. For Davao del Norte, its municipalities along the northeastern and northwestern portions are highly susceptible to landslide. However, the identified sub-regional center, Tagum City and which is also the most dense city, is not prone to landslides. In Region XII, the City of Cotabato, and the provinces of Northern Cotabato, Sarangani , South Cotabato, and Sultan Kudarat with 47 municipalicies are prone to flooding. In Region XIII, there are 10 identified flood-prone areas. These are the cities of Butuan, Surigao, Cabadbaran, Bayugan and Bislig and the municipalities of Magallanes (Agusan del Norte), San Francisco and Bunawan (Agusan del Sur), Placer (Surigao del Norte) and Tago (Surigao del Sur). Meanwhile, areas indicated urgent priority risk to property caused by flooding is Butuan City. The cities of Surigao, Cabadbaran, Tandag, Bayugan and Bislig and the municipalities of Buenavista and Magallanes (both in Agusan del Norte) and Tago (Surigao del Sur) indicated a moderate priority risk to property. While

PLANNING ENVIRONMENT drainage that interfere with water flow. • Presence of dense settlements in flood-prone areas, including in floodplains, former mangrove areas, old waterways (dry riverbed) and in geologically unstable areas; • Absence of flood warning system even in frequently flooded communities due partly to complacency and false sense of security that a major flood disaster will not happen.

Landslide (Rain-induced) This section will cover only rain-induced landslide, which is one of the secondary effects of heavy precipitation or storms. In Mindanao, this particular hazard poses varying levels of threats to the lives and properties in the cities and municipalities across provinces. Areas prone to landslides typically include old landslide deposits along, near or beneath steep slopes and down slope of streams and creeks; thick soil or fractured rocks; those along or on top of cut slopes; and developed steep slopes with no appropriate drainage. Among Mindanao Regions, Region X is the most susceptible as it has the most number of municipalities with very high susceptibility to landslides. This is followed by Region XI with 33 municipalities or 72% of total municipalities in the region. Both Zamboanga Peninsula and ARMM are the least susceptible with only 21 municipalities prone to landslides. Figure 1.17 shows the landslide-prone areas in Mindanao The provinces of Bukidnon, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental and Oriental are most prone to rain induced landslides. The worst rain-induced landslide disaster event in Region X occurred on August 1214, 2006 which was triggered by continuous heavy rains. The flashfloods and landslides affected three municipalities of Lanao del Norte, namely, Kapatagan, Sultan Naga Dimaporo and Lala. Twenty-nine barangays in Kapatagan were affected, 17 in Lala, and seven in Sultan Naga Dimaporo In Region XI, all four provinces are prone to rain-induced landslides. Meanwhile, Region XII provinces of Sarangani, South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat, Region XIII provinces of Agusan del Norte and Sur, Surigao del Norte and Sur and the Dinagat Islands, and ARMM provinces of Maguindanao and Sulu are rain-induced landslide prone areas. In the Zamboanga Peninsula Region, all three provinces are prone to rain-induced landslides. About 579 out of the 1,904 barangays are landslide-prone with around 20,592 families at risk. The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) identified ten (10) municipalities that are landslide-prone areas to include the municipalities of Aurora, Bayog, Lakewood, Kumalarang and Dumingag in Zamboanga del Sur; Siayan, Sindangan, Sibutad, Labason, Gutalac in Zamboanga del Norte. In Region X, heavy and prolonged rainfall, steep slope, erosion are some of the causes of landslides. Mining-related landslides have a high probability of occurrence, since some municipalities have ongoing mining operations. Several landslide events in different parts of the region occurred in the past which resulted to damage to property and loss of lives. In Region XI, municipalities located in the mining areas such as those in the municipalities of Monkayo and Pantukan are highly susceptible to rain-induced landslides. Given the key spatial strategy to develop the Mining sector, there is a need to ensure that risks and vulnerabilities are reduced in terms of relocation of settlements to safer grounds and strict implementation of the environmental laws and promote responsible mining practices. The Mines and Geosciences Bureau conducted a Rapid Field Assessment of the municipalities and cities in Mindanao to generate a comprehensive understanding of the susceptibility of local government units to various hazards.

PLANNING ENVIRONMENT Overall, about 40 percent of Mindanao’s area is prone to landslide. The combined area with high level of susceptibility is approximately 17 percent of Mindanao’s area. Areas with low and moderate susceptibility are estimated at 16.50 and 9.90 percent, respectively.

Geologic Hazards Seismic Hazards The following are the major and active geologic structures which are capable of producing strong earthquakes in Mindanao. The extent of areas that may be affected by these earthquake generators depend on the hazard potential of each structure. Geologically, a greater part of Northern Mindanao is where two active volcanoes can be found making it prone to volcanic hazards. Evidently, the mountain ranges that are common in the region are found along the intersection of two or more faults. It is also along this location where volcanic activities occur. Philippine Trench. One of the country’s most seismically active features which extends to depths of over 9 kilometers. Most deep focus earthquakes that have occurred in Cagayan de Oro City and in most of Region X in recent years originate from this zone. Cotabato Trench. Records show deep earthquake epicenters tracing the possible location of the trench. Due to deep focus earthquake, it has a macro-seismic effect and seismic waves which will be felt in Region XII depending on the magnitude. The magnitude 8 earthquake of August 16, 1976 was located along the Cotabato Trench at a depth of 57.9 kilometers. Philippine Fault. This is a very active seismic zone with historic and instrumental plots of earthquake epicenter showing moderate to very strong intensity felt or recorded magnitude causing major damage in wide areas. Its strong activity will affect most of the region but the major damage will occur in the provinces along its path. Mindanao Fault. This structure trends northwest from Sindangan and cuts into the Cotabato Basin in the southeast and is highly linear. The April 1955 earthquake was traced to occur on this zone along the Lanao segment. Heavy damage in Misamis Occidental occurred during this event. Subsidence affected the alluvial plains south of Bonifacio and Tangub. Buildings, churches and homes were destroyed and massive landslides occurred on the hillsides. Mudflows occurred in Tudela and Clarin. Clarin River was silty and brown for months. Lanao Lake Normal Faults. A major earthquake struck the Lake Lanao area on March 31, 1955. The ground shaking, landslides, liquefaction and subsidence brought about loss of lives and property damage. A seiche transported water lilies 300 meters inland. The Agus riverbed, the only outlet of Lake Lanao, ran completely dry for about half an hour. Although no ground rupture was observed, probably to the hypocenter’s depth, important changes in elevation were observed around the lake. Ten days later, the area was again hit by a magnitude 6.5 earthquake, on April 10, 1955. Central Mindanao (Gingoog-Samal) Fault. This fault zone trends north-south from Davao to Misamis Oriental and runs along several volcanic cones. Normal displacements in areas south of Gingoog City a NNW-trending fault in the Villanueva-Siloo area, and Salman Fault in Sta. Ana, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, all show displacements affecting young sediments and volcanic cones.

Gingoog-Iligan Corridor Faults. The Cagayan de Oro river fault is inactive. Along the Gingoog-Iligan corridor, the active Tagoloan Fault is sealed by basalt according to Quebral (pers. comm., 1991). The Alubijid Fault was mapped along the stretch of Lourdes, Alubijid, Misamis Oriental. The potential movement of these structures might only affect locally. It is best that these structures be studied in detail to verify the hazards that these might pose to the Corridor. Kalatungan Normal Faults. Areas that will be greatly affected are the southern towns of Bukidnon. A strong quake from this structure might trigger a volcanic eruption of Kalatungan or the nearby volcanic cones. In Mindanao, there are 15 active Faults and Trenches. Most of these are in Regions IX, X and XIII with some traversing in the areas of ARMM. Table 1.17 Active Faults andTrenches in Mindanao

PLANNING ENVIRONMENT

Watershed management and rehabilitation should be top priority. In terms of management of watersheds/ water resources, there is a need to stop the indiscriminate cutting of trees, encroachment of settlements in protected areas, which together cause land cover change in the watersheds. Development and management of the watersheds and water resources is undeniably not only the responsibility of government, but of those depending on it for life support. Research shall investigate how the region’s watersheds, wetlands, and river basins can be a lifeline to communities, or a source of risk. Feasibility and exploratory studies on the development of renewable energy sources aside from hydroelectric sources will further aid policy making and planning for sustainable economic development. Moreover, appropriate interventions to increase the water storage capacities of major rivers should be regularly undertaken. Of utmost importance is the involvement of communities at all levels of disaster risk reduction and management. This calls for advocacy campaigns along DRR/CCA, waste management and natural resource management in localities and communities. Meanwhile, preventive and adaptive planning for coastal areas should find its way into the LGUs’ comprehensive land use plans, and into NGAs’ development plans and policies. Responding to the impact of climate change to human health is challenging and requires multi-sector action. Also, research carries an important role in determining a clearer relationship between climate change factors in the Philippines and health security, and identifying the vulnerable groups such as the children and the elderly. National and local policies backed by sound science become crucial more than ever. Mindanao’s strategic economic positioning in the country calls for this island economy to prioritize DRR/ CCA projects that build the resiliency of its communities. This necessitates partnerships and cooperation grounded on the principle of shared responsibility and common vision to make the region disaster and climate-proof: for governments, to ensure that DRR/CCA mainstreamed into the planning and policymaking sphere – in development and physical framework plans, policies, and structures and systems in the bureaucracy; for international organizations, and non-government and civil society organizations to engage with governments and communities alike in various capacities along DRR/CCA; for the academic and the scientific community to feed the government with sound researches and methodologies in knowing more precisely areas and groups at risk; and for communities and people, to be not shortsighted and indifferent, and make DRR/CCA a way of living.

CHAPTER II Development Framework Vision A peaceful, safe, resilient, and socially-inclusive Mindanao of diverse cultures harmoniously enjoying a sustainable and competitive agri-industrial and resource-based economy. Mindanao is positioned as the agri-industrial center of the country with its vast natural resources and agricultural lands, and relatively favorable climate relative to other major island groups in the country. It shall have strengthened its niche as the country’s prime agriculture base, and frontier for tourism and mineral industries in the next three decades. This shall be supported by innovations and advancements in infrastructure, human resource, technology, and governance which will make its industries and communities vibrant, competitive, and sustainable. Its production areas shall serve as centers of efficiency, innovation and creativity that will yield high-value agricultural and natural resource-based products, feeding the industries and processing centers within Mindanao and beyond its borders. Advancements in information and communications technology (ICT) is critical in realizing this transformation to a knowledge-based productive economy. Overall economic growth in Mindanao shall create high-productive employment, thereby addressing poverty in multiple dimensions. This means that apart from creating broad-based higher incomes, deprivations in various dimensions are addressed such as health, education, access to safe water, secure shelter and other basic social services and infrastructure. To ensure that growth is sustainable and inclusive, economic and physical linkages between and among markets and production areas will be strengthened. These linkages shall have enhanced the delivery of quality basic services and dispersed economic opportunities and activities even in its island–provinces and rural areas. Mindanao shall have been fully integrated to the rest of the country and to the world by developing strategic gateways and a smart network of growth areas. Likewise, the densities of growth centers and settlements shall be increased to ensure efficiency of markets to minimize urban sprawl and land conversion. It shall have safe and resilient communities and industries by protecting or reducing vulnerabilities its key production areas and settlements from climate and disaster risks, improving intra- and inter-island connectivity, and protecting the integrity of its physical environment. For Mindanao’s human resources to keep pace with the requirements for development, capabilities shall be continuously upgraded to enable its workforce take advantage of the anticipated growth of quality employment opportunities. The existing human resource development shall be improved to effectively produce a competitive workforce which can meet both the local and offshore labor market demands.

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

Peace, human security and social inclusiveness shall be given prominence in the attainment of the overall development of Mindanao in consideration of its unique situation, with diverse religions, ethnic groups, ideologies, and cultures, as well as the persistence of conflict in some parts of Mindanao. The development process shall thus involve good governance and broad people participation, as well as strong public-private cooperation. Focus shall be given to the delivery of adequate and reliable basic services especially targeted at vulnerable groups. The equitable distribution of resources and wealth, and development opportunities, and access to services and facilities for everyone, regardless of ethnicity, gender, income, literacy and religion, shall be relentlessly pursued so that the benefits from Mindanao’s development shall be truly shared by all.

Development Challenges A. CONCENTRATION 1. Unregulated conversion of agricultural land for urban expansion and other uses Increasing demands in the housing sector, continuous progress in infrastructure and communication facilities, and the establishment of other economic centers have contributed to the expansion of urban boundaries in the Mindanao regions. As observed, the process of urbanization has induced massive conversion of productive farmlands into various urban uses. Agricultural lands in urban areas are rapidly being converted into subdivisions, while agricultural lands in rural areas are being converted into mining and plantation areas. Despite limited data regarding land conversion, it is documented that claims and complaints on indiscriminate conversion of agriculture lands to other non-agricultural uses from all over the country have been submitted for resolution to the Department of Agriculture (DA) and Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR). Apparently, some lands that have been converted are not covered by any land conversion permit. A study conducted in 2004 by the Socio-economic Division of the PhilRice in Nueva Ecija involving 80 Provincial Agriculture Offices nationwide shows that the Caraga Region has the highest land use conversions reported followed by ARMM. Indiscriminate conversion of agricultural lands will negatively impact on Mindanao’s efforts to ensure food security. 2. Low productivity in all sectors Mindanao has yet to achieve the desired level of productivity of major crops to attain food security. Rice and corn productivity of Mindanao regions are below the current levels of neighboring ASEAN countries like Thailand and Vietnam. With regards to productivity of other crops like calamansi, durian, lanzones, mandarin and mango, all Mindanao regions posted minimal growth as most of the crops in Mindanao are sensitive to weather variability and climate change. For livestock and poultry, all regions in Mindanao have fluctuating levels of productivity. While Regions X, XI and XII experienced increases in their productivity, the increments were insignificant and did not improve the overall productivity levels of these commodities. In terms of fishery production, except for Regions XI and XII the rest of the Mindanao regions displayed declining growths.

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

43

Unless productivity improves, Mindanao regions will continue to depend on the supply coming from other regions or import from other countries particularly for rice. Thus, self-sufficiency would remain to be a daunting challenge. 3. Increasing demand for quality basic social services including housing due to population growth in urban areas As more people move from rural to urban areas in search of better economic and social opportunities, the demand for quality basic social services increases as well. Greater pressure is exerted on service providers to meet the growing need for health and education services as well as sanitation services. The public sector is compelled to provide more quality social services to respond to the needs of the population particularly for those who cannot afford the services provided by the private sector. This further strains the already inadequate budget of many local government units. Moreover, as the population increases due to natural growth and urban migration, the demand for affordable and strategically located housing units also swells. Though the construction of socialized housing is an investment opportunity, developers are cautious due to sky rocketing prices of land, high cost of land development and volatile prices of construction materials. Natural calamities such as Tropical Storm Sendong and Pablo in 2011 and 2012 respectively, further amplified the demand for affordable and safely located housing units. Unless quality basic social services are made easily accessible, improving education, health and nutritional status in Mindanao will continue to be a challenge. Informal settlers will persist to proliferate specially in urban areas unless adequate affordable housing units are made available. 4. Inefficient mass transport system in urban areas resulting in traffic congestion Traffic congestion is evident in Cagayan de Oro City, Davao City, General Santos City and other growth centers in Mindanao. Several portions of the existing strategic road networks in Mindanao are either already overloaded or will experience overloading in a couple of years. Overloading hastens the deterioration of roads and compromises the safety of the passengers and other road users. Roads and traffic conditions, within and outside urban areas in Mindanao need to be continually improved to support the growth of tourism, industry and trade. The current and projected traffic growth in urban areas suggests that transportation services will need to be restructured and improved to continue to provide basic mobility and support economic growth. 5. Poor waste management resulting in increased health and environment risks With the growing population, rapid urbanization and increasing economic activities in Mindanao regions, effective management of wastes have become more formidable. Compliance to RA 9003 otherwise known as “The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of the Philippines” among LGUs remains low. Open dumpsite continues to be the dominant practice; only eight (8) local government units in Mindanao have sanitary landfills. There are still LGUs that have not crafted their Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (ESWM); while those with ESWMP, their implementation are weak. Compliance to the conditions of Environmental Clearance Certificate for development programs and projects and business ventures need to be monitored strictly to avoid adverse environmental repercussions. The absence of proper waste management facilities have resulted in the utilization of rivers and creeks

44

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

as dumping sites of domestic and industrial wastes thereby polluting these water bodies. Some bodies of water in Mindanao have high fecal, total coliforms and e-coli counts. Other water bodies such as the Agusan River and Lake Mainit have been contaminated with heavy metals. Water pollution causes the proliferation of water borne diseases such as skin diseases, schistosomiasis and diarrhea; it also compromises the safety of biota and threatens the existence of the other living organisms in these water bodies. The presence of heavy metals on the other hand, may pose serious health problems on human beings in the long run.

B. CONNECTIVITY 1. Poor infrastructure affecting connectivity within and beyond Mindanao’s borders Roads along growth centers, potential economic corridors, and access roads to major tourism sites still await construction and/or improvement. Farm to market roads (FMRs) linking production areas to market centers are inadequate. Deterioration of major roads and bridges is prevalent due to non-observance of tonnage limit. Moreover, the two-lane width of most arterial national roads and bridges is no longer appropriate with the increasing volume of traffic along major highways especially in growth centers. Absence of bicycle and motorcycle lanes and loading and unloading bays along major thoroughfares is also a constraint. Most trunk line, secondary and feeder airports in Mindanao have limited capacity and cannot accommodate wide-bodied aircrafts. Some of these airports cannot permit night time operations and landing during bad weather condition due to relatively short runways, incomplete runway and approach lights and absence of upgraded Instrument Landing System. Absence of cold storage facilities also hampers the movement of perishable goods. Upgrading and modernization of these airports is a necessity to accommodate air traffic growth and to keep it at par with international standards. The total number of vessels and volume of cargo in Mindanao seaports increase annually, thereby overstretching the ports’ capacity leading to pre-berthing delays and damage to wharf structures. Mindanao seaports have limited capacity including berthing structure, transit/cargo shed area for noncontainerized cargo, container yard for containerized cargo and passenger terminal building. Massive reforms in the telecommunication sector resulted in wider accessibility of the cellular phones that kept the subscription rate of equipped telephone lines in Mindanao low and decreasing. Despite concerted efforts to enhance connectivity and develop more sophisticated digital infrastructure in Mindanao, there is still low connectivity in far-flung areas due to limited coverage of telecommunication facilities. 2. Lack of alternative routes resulting in isolation of some settlement and production areas during catastrophic events The absence of alternate routes in areas of strategic importance may result in the isolation of some settlement and production areas whenever natural disasters occur. Once the only road network or bridge linking an area to other provinces/municipalities/cities becomes inaccessible, movement of goods and services would be hampered. In the case of Caraga Region which is highly dependent on Regions X and XI for food supply, the transport of goods would be affected resulting in the shortage of supply until roads linking the region to the sources of food supply are restored. Further, absence of alternate routes delays

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

45

rescue and response operations thereby increasing the risk of more damage and casualty. This would also defer the restoration of normal state after a disaster.

C. VULNERABILITY REDUCTION 1. Proliferation of settlements and encroachment of production activities in protected and hazard prone areas Based on DENR-PAWB records, there are 56 declared protected areas under NIPAS in Mindanao in 2013. Some of these areas are located within the identified key biodiversity areas, of which a large portion has “open access” status. Expansion of settlements and production activities towards these protected areas is observed, although data on the extent of areas utilized for such purposes is absent. Land use conflicts are noted in Regions XI and XIII. The Aliwagwag Protected Landscape in the Municipality of Cateel is within the Diwalwal Mineral Reservation Area, where small-scale mining activities operate. In Caraga Region, proclaimed watershed areas that provide potable and irrigation water to Butuan City, Surigao City and Municipality of San Francisco are compromised by illegal logging and illegal mining activities and are used as expansion for settlement areas. In addition, mining development in the Caraga is expanding towards the forestlands, critical watersheds and key biodiversity areas with “open access” status. The key biodiversity areas in the Province of Dinagat Islands (PDI) are within the mineral reservation area. Thirty-three percent of the priority river basins in Mindanao are classified as alienable and disposable lands and 67 percent are considered forestlands. Expanding economic activities and mismanagement of protected areas have destroyed the natural environment of these priority river basins resulting in flooding and excessive water run-offs that adversely impact on settlement areas traversed by these major river systems. 2. High susceptibility of some settlement and production areas to natural hazards Mindanao is prone to different types of natural hazards, such as flooding, rain-induced landslide, storm surges, ground shaking, liquefaction, earthquake-induced landside, tsunami and volcanic eruption. Most of the growth centers in Mindanao are highly susceptible to flooding and rain-induced landslides. The eastern seaboard is susceptible to storm surges brought about by typhoons. Since the Mindanao Island is generally traversed by major fault lines and surrounded by major trenches, it is prone to different types of earthquake related hazards. Almost all parts of Regions X, XI and XII have moderate to very high exposure to earthquake-induced landslide. The presence of major trenches in the eastern, western and southern parts of Mindanao makes a number of coastal areas susceptible to tsunami. While there is no reported incidence of liquefaction yet, PHIVOLCS noted that areas within the Mindanao River Basin particularly around Liguasan Marsh are prone to this type of hazard. Ozamis City, Davao City, Davao Oriental, Butuan City, Surigao City, Surigao Del Norte, Province of Dinagat Islands and Surigao Del Sur are also prone to liquefaction. Susceptibility of the regions to the different hazards if not considered or left unmitigated would lead to higher risk or damage to property, more loss of life and disruption of economic activities.

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

D. CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES 1. Persistent and pervasive poverty Among the three major island groups, poverty is most pronounced in Mindanao with 33.8 percent of families below the poverty threshold in 2012. Poverty incidence among families in 2009 to 2012 only reduced by 0.5 percent. ARMM consistently registers the highest poverty incidence among families. Five out of the six regions in Mindanao exhibited high poverty incidence among families ranging from 31.9 percent to 48.7 percent. While economic development is taking place in Mindanao, it did not translate into a significant reduction of poverty. Only Caraga Region had a dramatic reduction of poverty from 46 percent in 2009 to 31.9 percent in 2012. Other dimensions of poverty including the lack of education, poor health, limited access to quality health services, poor housing units, and limited opportunities for productive employment either due to lack of skills or absence of industries are also widespread in the five regions of Mindanao. The Human Development Index of Mindanao regions continue to be among the lowest in the country except for Region XI. Moreover, the occurrence of natural disasters in the island further marginalizes the poor and erodes development gains. The indigenous peoples in Mindanao are among those who suffer a range of deprivations. 2. Insufficient power supply The Mindanao regions are highly dependent on hydroelectric power, which is 53 percent of Mindanao’s generation capacity. Hydroelectric power is complemented by oil based (30%) and coal(12%) power. The Agus-Pulangi Complex contributes about 36.89 percent of the total Mindanao installed capacity. However, during summer, where there is less rainfall, the power generation capacity of Agus-Pulangi Complex is diminished. Thus, rotating brownouts occur ranging from 1 hour to 16 hours in some parts of Mindanao. As of 2014, the existing capacity of Mindanao is only 1,693 MW but the demand is 1,686MW with a required reserve margin of 277 MW. This demand is projected to increase by 4.56 percent (AAGR) annually based on the consolidated energy sales forecast of distribution utilities through their Distribution Development Plan (DDP), sales to directly connected customers and sales of embedded generators. Mindanao power requirement will continue to grow; unfortunately the supply is unable to catch up with the demand. Moreover, a reserve capacity is also needed on top of the demand to maintain the Mindanao grid’s reliability. The downgrading of capacities of government-owned facilities (hydro in general) which supplies more than 50 percent of the power requirement in Mindanao has been noted; further straining the supply of power. In terms of transmission, some areas in Mindanao are not yet connected to the Mindanao grid and are still under Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG). Moreover, Mindanao is not yet part of the Philippine Grid. This situation restricts the inflow and outflow of power in the island. Insufficient power supply leads to frequent power interruption particularly during summer thereby disrupting economic activities in Mindanao. This, in turn, affects the production costs and productivity of the different sectors. Stable power supply is a fundamental requirement to encourage more investors to locate in Mindanao.

3. Chronic threats to peace in some areas in Mindanao by CNN, and separatist/other armed groups Insurgency is considered as a persistent challenge that hinders development in Mindanao. It is mainly driven by social inequality, limited access to grievance mechanisms, poor delivery of social services, lack of income generating opportunities, land ownership issues, occurrence of injustices, political conflict, and lack of education. The main threat is posed by the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CNN). In areas with CNN presence, imposition of revolutionary taxes to people and business establishments/industries is practiced. For business establishments that refuse to pay said revolutionary tax, their company equipment are burned or destroyed. CNN-affectation is observed to be declining in some areas. There is substantial decrease of CNN affectation in Regions X, XI and XIII. Thus, peace and security shall continue to be addressed in Mindanao to attract investments in Mindanao, build socio-economic gains and impove the lives of the residents therein.

Goals and Objectives The ultimate goal of Mindanao is to reduce poverty and create massive quality employment by becoming a competitive and sustainable agri-industrial and resource-based economy. Specifically and in consonance with the national spatial strategies on concentration, connectivity and vulnerability reduction1, the whole island of Mindanao aims to achieve the desired development outcomes as follows: • • • • • •

Productivity and growth of the agriculture, industry and services sectors improved and sustained; Access to adequate and quality basic social and infrastructure facilities and services ensured; Connectivity among production areas, markets and settlements enhanced; Disaster and climate change resiliency of communities increased; Integrity of the environment ensured; and Gains of the various peace efforts sustained

The overall development of Mindanao acknowledges the dynamism of the private sector. While the role of government is to catalyze private initiatives and encourage efficiency improvements, convergence of agency programs with the LGUs, and coordination among agencies at different levels, as well as the private sector and development partners is crucial to make a significant impact of improving the wellbeing of the Filipino people.

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

CHAPTER III Development Strategies Overall Spatial Strategy Mindanao shall pursue its position as the country’s agri-industrial center, it shall adopt a multi-nodal spatial development strategy anchored on Metropolitan Davao and the regional centers of Cagayan de Oro, General Santos and Zamboanga which shall elevate into metropolitan status at progressive phases of the plan, thus; are emerging metropolitan centers in Mindanao. Identified on the basis of a million population threshold when the country’s estimated population shall have doubled in 2040, the three emerging metropolitan centers, which include Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao, are expected to absorb growth toward increasing investment and employment opportunities, poverty reduction and disaster risk reduction under the National Spatial Strategy of concentration. The elevation to a metropolitan status of these three centers is based not only on their projected population but on the expected facilities that shall be put in place, such that Cagayan de Oro shall become a metro area by 2025, General Santos City by 2035 and Zamboanga City by 2045. While Metropolitan Davao shall build on its role as the Island’s principal administrative, financial and commercial hub, the emerging metropolitan growth centers shall serve as Mindanao’s core areas for industrial diversification and specialization, logistics agglomeration and settlement buildup, consolidating their influence regions’ respective agri-industrial strengths. Together, these emerging growth centers, shall be the driving force toward the integration of Mindanao’s 8 regional centers, 27 sub-regional centers, and 67 provincial centers into one prosperous Island economy, thus, Mindanao’s integration with the rest of the country and the world shall be made possible through these four gateways. Further, based on the network of growth areas and connectivity strategies, Mindanao shall be strategically and efficiently developed through its network of agri-industrial corridors. These corridors, known as Key Development Zones (KDZs), shall focus on the development areas of mineral, timber, agri-fishery and marine resources, tourism ciruits, and special economic zones; as well as on the common development areas of services, watersheds and power. These KDZs are strategically located in the growth centers and are identified based on natural endowments and comparative advantage. Although these KDZs are base d on natural endowments, the natural resources shall be developed for industrialization, for more value-added and not focused on extraction.

CONCENTRATION Mindanao’s population is estimated to reach 32.3 million by 2030 and 43 million by 2045, with a population density of 318 persons per sq. km. By 2045, SOCCSKSARGEN will have the largest population at 9.6 million, followed by Davao Region at 8.8 million, and Northern Mindanao at 8.7 million (Table 3.1). On the other hand, Davao Region will have the highest population density at 435persons/ sq.km., followed by SOCCSKSARGEN and Northern Mindanao at 429persons/sq.km. and 428 persons/ sq.km., respectively. The distribution of population is increasingly biased towards the larger cities and metropolitan centers. Among the cities and municipalities in Mindanao, Metro Davao will have the largest population at 3.3 million, followed by Metro Zamboanga at 2.3 million, then Metro Cagayan de Oro and Metro Cotabato at 1.6 million each, and Metro General Santos at 1.4 million. This scenario shall direct the roles of the different areas as venues and drivers of growth that would result in poverty reduction.

Proposed Network of Settlements The proposed network of settlements follows the principle of concentration, wherein the larger the settlement population, the greater the concentration and, therefore, the higher the level in the network of growth areas and a greater connectivity priority. However, there are areas identified in the network that are not premised on the principle of concentration, but have strategic roles in the network, particularly in establishing linkages and connectivity that will enhance the delivery of services in the lagging areas, promote economic integration, and vulnerability reduction.

Mindanao. It stands as the major “GATEWAY” and transhipment hub to the rapidly industrializing area, as well as business, trade and other services in Northern Mindanao. It shall also continue to be Northern Mindanao’s prime educational center. The operationalization of the Laguindingan Airport and its allied projects (e.g., seaport) and the development of the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor (CIC) Growth Area shall intensify the growth of Metro Cagayan de Oro. This shall be further spurred and revitalized by the various industries, commerce, trade, and services, full operationalization of the Mindanao Container Terminal Port (MCTP), and continuing improvement of transport and communication facilities. It shall sustain its strong interregional linkages to Metropolitan Cebu, Metropolitan Manila, and Metropolitan Davao and to the Region’s other cities and provincial centers, such as Iligan, Malaybalay, and Ozamiz. By 2037, Metro Cagayan de Oro is expected to have over 1.2 million population, hence, it shall also be a core of development and urbanization. 2) Metro General Santos Metro Gensan shall serve as another international gateway in Mindanao. This is due to the preserve of the General Santos International Airport that will upgrade to a Acropolis, as well as, the Maker Part. Isulan-General Santos City Agri-Industrial and Eco-Tourism Corridor Metro General Santos shall be the IGS Corridor’s primary growth node, with Koronadal, Isulan and Tacurong cities as intermediate urban centers. Its major industries are high value crops, corn and other agri-based products, fishery-based products, mining, eco-tourism, and information and communications technology (ICT). Trade linkages among these Region XII’s corridors are flourishing given that the natural flow of goods and services is towards Metro General Santos and Metro Davao. 3) Metro Zamboanga Metro Zamboanga serves as core for the Zamboanga Peninsula Region that aspires to become an Agrifisheries Corridor and Gateway to Southeast Asia. As the country’s tenth most populous city, its growth as an economy has great influence on the ARMM sub-archipelago of Sulu. The Port of Zamboanga is Mindanao’s busiest in terms of passenger traffic and because of its strategic location, serves both domestic and foreign passengers, the latter mostly bound for nearby Malaysia. At the northern end of the Peninsula is the Dapitan-Dipolog Complex, which strategically integrates western Mindanao with the rest of the Philippine archipelago by anchoring the country’s Western Nautical Highway. 4) Metro Dipolog Metro Dipolog is a small regional center, but it has exceptional potential because of its direct link to Cagayan de Oro and to Cebu and Dumaguete of the Visayas. It also serves to integrate western Mindanao with the rest of the archipelago.

56

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES 5) Metro Butuan Metro Butuan is expected to play a role similar to Metro Dipolog. It provides a link to the Visayas through Surigao and connects directly to Metro Cagayan de Oro and Metro Davao. 6) Metro Jolo Metro Jolo serves the Sulu archipelago. Growth of this entire area shall be reinforced by the growth of Jolo which, in turn, will require efficient linkages with Zamboanga and the rest of the country, as well as with Sabah. 7) Metro Cotabato Metro Cotabato serves as the institutional, financial, and commercial and services center of SOCCSKSARGEN. Metro Cotabato is along the Cotabato City-Kidapawan Agri-Industrial and Eco-Tourism Corridor. Cotabato enjoys efficient linkages with the leading economies in the region (Metro Cagayan de Oro and Metro Davao). 8) Tagum City Tagum City plays an important role as a convergent point of the Agusan-Davao Road and the SurigaoDavao Coastal Road. These routes serve as the main trunklines for the flow of trade and the delivery of basic social services, thus a potential trading hub for Agusan del Sur, Compostela Valley, and Davao Oriental. The rapid urbanization of Tagum City is due to the increased economic activities and population growth in these areas. Its proximity to Davao City makes it a catchment site for the diffusion of economic activities from the area. 9) Pagadian City Pagadian City is the regional center of the Zamboanga Peninsula. It serves as the seat of the regional government offices and has dominant influence over other areas in Zamboanga and other areas of the region. It is a transhipment center for trade and commerce owing to the presence of its airport and seaports. Its airport serves as the only air portal in the Province of Zamboanga del Sur with direct flights to and from Manila and Cebu. The port of Pagadian City includes port calls in Zamboanga City, Jolo, Siasi, Bongao, Sitangkai, and Cotabato City. It has links to both eastbound and westbound areas of Zamboanga City, Ozamiz City, Dipolog City, Cagayan de Oro City, Cotabato City, and General Santos City through its transport system. 10) Surigao City Surigao City is the trading center in the Pacific Rim of Caraga Region. It serves as a special zone for mineral-based industries. It is a transshipment center for trade and commerce in Agusan del Norte and to other parts of the country and the rest of the world owing to the presence of its airport and seaports. Further, Surigao City is the gateway to Siargao and Bucas Grande Islands recognized as international surfing destination. 11) Koronadal City Koronadal City is the regional administrative center of SOCCSKSARGEN. It serves as the seat of the

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

57

regional and provincial government offices and has dominant influence over other areas and the whole Region. It is an alternative ICT and tourism hub of the Metro General Santos. Koronadal City is along the Isulan-General Santos Agri-Industrial and Eco-Tourism Corridor.

Sub-regional Centers Sub-regional centers are comprised of large and small settlements. Large settlements comprise the market catchment of regional centers. They also connect to and serve as service centers of smaller provincial and local centers. A minimum population size of 120,000 is used as the primary criterion for identifying these centers. Some sub-regional centers are smaller than 120,000 in population size, but they have special roles that distinguish them from the others. Mindanao has identified twenty six (26) sub-regional centers, as follows: • Iligan City Iligan City presently serves as a sub-regional center of Northern Mindanao. It will play a critical role in linking strategic areas and business centers that are critical to trade and investments through the Western Nautical Highway which link Mindanao to Visayas and Luzon via the Iligan City-Dapitan route. It enjoys several locational advantages including the presence of Ma. Cristina hydropower plant, adequate harbour, host to a number of heavy industrial plants, and presence of the Mindanao State UniversityIligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT). • Panabo City Panabo is 32 kilometers north of Davao City. It is one of the three component cities of Davao del Norte. The city specializes in plantation crops, particularly banana and mariculture production. It has a wharf that caters to international cargo vessels. Panabo City is projected to absorb the industrial spill of Davao City due to their proximity. • Marawi City Marawi City will be the Center for Islamic and Western Education. Marawi City has rich culture and traditions. The Mindanao State University and King Faisal Institute for Arabic Studies are found in the city that caters to the Islamic and western education of the region’s populace and its neighbouring regions. • Ozamiz City Ozamiz City will also function as a sub-regional center of Northern Mindanao considering its population and having a broad spectrum of facilities and services. The presence of its airport and seaport serves as strong entry points to and from the Visayas and Luzon. It likewise maintains its role as the commercial and trade center with the large number of goods, facilities, and services which are readily made available within the city and adjoining areas in Zamboanga. • Malaybalay City Malaybalay shall serve as a growth center of the province of Bukidnon in Northern Mindanao. This shall

58

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES drive development of agri-business ventures, eco-tourism and trade in the Province and to the region closest to Bukidnon, i.e Davao Region. • Valencia City Valencia will play a similar role as that of Malaybalay. It will also serve as main growth center of the province of Bukidnon in Northern Mindanao. This will likewise boost Bukidnon’s agribusiness industries, eco-tourism, and trade. • Digos City Digos City is the provincial capital of Davao del Sur. It serves as the seat of the provincial government offices. It is 54 kilometers south of Davao City and is situated along the foothills of Mt. Apo in the northern part of Davao del Sur. The city shall be developed as the region’s commercial and trading center and Davao City’s alternative settlements area in the South. • Polomolok Polomolok serves as an agri-industrial processing for high value crops and fruits, as well as the provincial market and distribution center of South Cotabato. • Midsayap Midsayap serves as the major urban center and economic center of North Cotabato. Like Kidapawan, it will also serve as the agri-industrial processing center for crops, such as rubber, sugar, and tropical fruits, as well as serve as the provincial market and distribution center of Cotabato province. Midsayap is at the crossroads of Cotabato City-Kidapawan City Agri-Industrial and Eco-Tourism Corridor. • Mati City Mati City is the capital and growth center, commercial and trading center, and agro-industrial center of Davao Oriental. It has 2 private ports, 1 commercial port, RO-RO ramps, and secondary airport. The City also provides access to other provinces because of its major road connecting to Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, and Davao City. Another road provides a direct route to Agusan del Sur. • Kidapawan City Kidapawan serves as the major urban and economic center and administrative seat of North Cotabato. It shall serve as the agri-industrial processing for crops, such as rubber, sugar, and tropical fruits, as well as the provincial market and distribution center of Cotabato province. • Gingoog City Gingoog City is a key tourist destination and an important part of the Gingoog-Camiguin Adventure Loop of Region X which straddles the tourism destinations in the Caraga region. • Bislig City Bislig is a small economic center but plays an important role as a link between Surigao and Davao and

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

59

the eastern seaboard coastal areas. It serves as an agri-forestry and aquamarine processing center and agri-industrial center of CARAGA. • Tandag City Tandag is the capital and seat of the provincial government of Surigao del Sur. Tandag is a booming tourism destination in the north. It is the gateway to the Enchanted River, the Britania Group of Islands, Cagwait Beach, Tinuy-an Falls, and the surfing spot of Lanuza. Cebu Pacific Airline launched direct flights between Cebu and Tandag in June 2014 owing to high demand due to its tourism activities. • Tacurong City Tacurong City serves as the major urban and commercial center as well as the administrative seat of Sultan Kudarat. It serves as the processing center for African palm oil, cereals and grains, meat and poultry. It also serves as the provincial market and distribution center of Sultan Kudarat province. Tacurong is at the crossroads of major transport route going to Cotabato City, Maguindanao, and General Santos City. It is also along the Isulan-General Santos Agri-Industrial and Eco-Tourism Corridor. • Bongao Bongao is the seat of government in Tawi-Tawi. Its growth is critical in the development of tourism and agri-fishery industries in the area. It also trigger investments and economic activities in the identified regional centers which will later impact on nearby local centers. • Parang (Maguindanao) Parang is host to the Polloc Free Port which has been declared as Free Port and Special Economic Zone by the Autonomous Regional Government in March 2010. Parang plays an important role in investment, trading, and commerce in the ARMM areas. • San Francisco San Francisco is endowed with rich forestry, mineral, and tourism resources. It strategically links to the Eastern Seaboard and Compostela Valley Province. • Tubod Tubod is the provincial capital and seat of provincial government of Lanao del Norte. It plays a critical role in the realization of the expanded Cagayan Iligan Corridor to widely disperse development and to serve as a link to resource-rich areas to growth and market centers within the province and the nearby provinces of Misamis Occidental and Zamboanga provinces. • Maramag Maramag is an emerging urban center of the province of Bukidnon in Northern Mindanao due to its rapid population growth and hub for services and other economic activities. It is expected to spur development in the southern part of Bukidnon, further strengthening its trade and business linkages to the Davao and Cotabato areas.

60

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK STRATEGIES Ipil (Zamboanga Sibugay) Ipil serves as the major urban and economic center of Zamboanga Sibugay. It serves as the seat of provincial government offices and has dominant influence over other areas and the whole province. Glan (Sarangani) Glan is a small economic center but plays an important role as a link between the hinterlands of Sarangani and Davao del Sur through the municipality of Jose Abad Santos. It also plays an important role among the local government units of Jose Abad Santos and Sarangani through the Jose Abad Santos, Glan, and Sarangani Development alliance for economic, political and social development in the areas. Malita Malita is about 138 kilometers away from Davao City. The municipality serves as the major urban and economic center of the newly created province of Davao Occidental. Agriculture and fishery is the main industry of the municipality. It complements the identified provincial major center and supply services and facilities in the province. Malita shall serve as a special economic zone in the Southern part of Davao Occidental. Laguindingan The operationalization of the Laguindingan Airport and its allied projects will trigger higher-end service activities related to logistics and tourism. It is being proposed as an “aerotropolis”, straddling areas in nearby municipalities of Alubijid and Gitagum. This Aerotropolis could complement the trading and business services provided in Metro Cagayan de Oro, as well as influence economic activities in the neighboring areas to the west. Isabela-Lamitan Isabela-Lamitan serves as legislative district of Basilan. Trading and commerce in Isabela are still predominantly East Asian (Hokkien Chinese), aided by a recent influx of immigrants from Taiwan and Korea. Aurora Aurora is a small urban center but it has exceptional potential because of its direct link to the cities of Pagadian, Dipolog, Zamboanga, Marawi, Ozamiz, Iligan, Pagadian, Lala, Tangub, Dapitan, and the municipality of Sindangan in Zamboanga Del Norte.

Provincial Centers Provincial centers are typically a major city or municipality of a province. Mindanao has identified sixtyseven (67) provincial centers. Their roles are similar to regional centers, but in a smaller and more limited scale. A minimum population size of 50,000 serves as the minimum size of these centers. These centers have an extended city or municipal service coverage but not beyond the province of their location.

Local Centers Local centers are settlements that form the base of the network. They generally cater to one or two local

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

61

government units. All other cities and municipalities not listed as Regional, Sub-regional, or Provincial Centers are considered Local Centers.

CONNECTIVITY Proposed Inter-Modal Connectivity through Transport of Mindanao Regions The proposed inter-modal connectivity will facilitate the physical, economic and socio-cultural integration of the Mindanao regions, to ensure that the most number of people can contribute to and benefit from Mindanao’s economic development. Linkages among the identified metropolitan, regional and sub-regional centers will be enhanced to be able to increase access to and improve the efficiency of markets; encourage or discourage growth and concentration according to specific urban and regional plans through transportation alignments that support corresponding development objectives; and reduce vulnerability during emergency situations by increasing redundancy. (NSS)

Global access To strengthen the positions of Davao, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos and Zamboanga as metropolitan centers and gateways to Mindanao, effective and efficient connections to the rest of the country and the world are vital to supporting a globally competitive but regionally integrated economy. The Zamboanga International Airport in Region IX, Laguindingan Airport in Region X, Davao International Airport in Region XI and General Santos Airport in Region XII shall be further developed as among the major Philippine international airports, with regular commercial flights to major cities in the country, and direct international connections such as to the ASEAN and the rest of the Asia-Pacific Region. With the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Integration set in 2015, enhanced physical connectivity is a requisite for the seamless movement of goods and tradable services. An efficient intra-ASEAN connectivity through integrated multimodal transport systems will have to be set up. With Mindanao playing a critical role in the AEC, the following air and sea linkages to ASEAN countries shall be established or enhanced: Air: • Davao-Manado (Indonesia) • Davao-Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia) • Zamboanga-Sandakan (Malaysia) Sea: • Zamboanga-Sandakan (Malaysia) • Davao/General Santos-Bitung, Manado (Indonesia) • Zamboanga-Muara (Brunei) • Tawi-tawi-Tarakan (Indonesia) This shall be complemented by the opening of the Sabah, Malaysia-to-Tawi-Tawi route because of their proximity. Air connectivity between Malaysia and Tawi-Tawi shall formalize and enhance the barter trading

62

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK STRATEGIES activities in the province and shall maximize the current cooperation under the BIMP-EAGA or Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines – East Asian Growth Area.

Intra-Mindanao Linkages Identified growth centers will be strategically connected through the island’s intermodal network (land, air and sea routes) to integrate the settlements not just physically, but economically as well. To establish the economies of scale to effectively support the proposed metropolitan centers of Davao, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos and Zamboanga, reliable and convenient access and trading linkages to and from the regional and sub-regional growth centers shall be provided, with intermodal transport linkages. Alternative routes during calamities shall be provided to better respond to security and natural disasters. Likewise, connectivity among large local economies shall be intensified.

Land Transport The paving of all national arterials roads is expected to be completed by 2014, and of national secondary roads by 2016. The paving of local roads leading to production, tourism and hazard prone areas shall also be pursued. National arterial roads along major highways especially in growth centers shall be upgraded or expanded to accommodate the increasing volume of traffic. Likewise, roads of strategic importance such as those along potential economic corridors and those that connect growth centers will be constructed or improved. Several of the road linkages to be explored are: direct link between Caraga Region and Bukidnon Province; CDO-Valencia-Tagum-Panabo East-West Lateral Road; upgrading of the Cotabato City-ParangPagadian Road; extension of the Cagayan-Iligan Corridor up to Tubod, Misamis Occidental; Davao-DigosMalita-Glan-GSC Road; completion of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi Circumferential Roads; among others. Mindanao being primarily an agricultural economy requires an effective, cost-efficient and responsive transportation system to link production areas to market centers. Adequate farm-to-market roads should be provided to promote the smooth transfer of agricultural goods, thereby reducing distribution and processing costs and improving productivity. To address traffic congestion in urban centers, the use of an efficient and effective public transport will be increased through mass transit systems and expressways. To be considered is the Mass Rapid Transit from Tagum City to Davao City; Mindanao Railway System; CDO-Davao Expressway; among others.

Sea Transport To foster a competitive and efficient shipping service within and outside Mindanao, sea transport routes shall be established or upgraded to boost economic activities, including tourism. Mindanao’s seaport facilities will be improved to accommodate increasing cargo volume and passenger traffic. The performance and capacity of strategic seaports can be further upgraded to provide world-class ports cargo-handling services, RORO, rapid passenger ferry (fast-craft) and fish landing facilities. Aside from the need to improve Mindanao’s seaport facilities, there is also a need to reduce domestic cargo rates. Cargo rates in Mindanao are more expensive than foreign cargo rates. Possible sea transport routes include those from/to General Santos, Zamboanga and Surigao to the Visayas and Luzon and the rest of the world such as Hongkong, the U.S.A., Australia, Europe and the Middle East.

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

63

The CDO-Camiguin-Gingoog-Surigao route via Butuan shall also be considered.

Air Transport Upgrading other airports in Mindanao to meet the international standards shall be pursued to boost the economy of Mindanao and enhance its links to external markets. Improving Mindanao airports will require (a) compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards in planning, design, and implementation of air transportation infrastructure; (b) modernization of the air transportation, navigation, surveillance communication and air traffic management (CNS/ATM) technology; (c) upgrading of airport facilities to permit night time operations and facilitate landing operations during bad weather conditions; (d) upgrading the Instrument Landing System (ILS), completion of runway lights and approach lights; and (e) provision of cold storage facilities in airport cargo terminals to allow prolonged storage of perishable products. Based on the lessons learned from the recent crisis in Zamboanga City that affected the economies of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi provinces, the air connectivity of Tawi-Tawi to Metro Manila and vice-versa shall be pursued as an alternate gateway to Zamboanga City. Another air connectivity being proposed is the Davao City to Tawi-Tawi route to facilitate the flow of goods and services. This development strategy, if realized, will trigger economic growth in the ARMM since these development efforts will increase revenue generation and employment opportunities in the area. Other proposed air linkages are: GSC-Butuan, GSC-CDO, GSC-Jolo-Bongao, CDO-Cotabato, CDOZamboanga, Zamboanga-Jolo-Tawi-tawi, Dapitan-Dumaguete.

Chapter IV Measuring the Outcomes of the MSSDF, 2015-2045 The Mindanao Spatial Strategy/Development Framework (MSS/DF) goes beyond regional spatial planning. The Framework recognizes the spatial issues and responses of the component regions of Mindanao while integrating, the three strategic policy areas of concentration, connectivity and vulnerability reduction, as well as the regions’ socio-economic development context. The overall framework (Figure 4.1) to monitor and evaluate the achievement of the objectives of the MSS/DF are measured by the outcomes of its core Policies and Programs, as well as the Mindanao’s socioeconomic development outcomes. Indicators (Annex A) are purposely identified to effectively measure the spatial and socio-economic development outcomes. Longer-term horizon of outcomes and impact measurement are emphasized, and the scope of evaluation expanded to allow monitoring of external trends and changes that will affect the MSS/DF outcomes.

The outcomes of the Mindanao region’s socio-economic development plans shall be monitored annually and during mid-term plan periods, while the monitoring of the outcomes of the MSSDF shall be done every five years, mid-term and terminal year. The consolidated results of the periodic monitoring activities are expected to provide information to monitor and evaluate the achievement of the objectives of the MSS/DF. A web-based database system shall be established to facilitate ease in periodic monitoring. Monitoring and evaluation shall play a vital role in the implementation of the MSSDF. Thus, it shall be broad enough to account for external emerging events that may affect its implementation but internally-focused to ensure that the results emanating from its implementation shall redound to the overall improvement of the quality of life of the people in Mindanao. Monitoring and evaluation of the MSSDF, shall focus on the achievement of results brought about by the implementation of the concentration, connectivity and vulnerability reduction as cross-cutting strategies integrated in the Framework’s spatial strategies, as well as, the implementation of development programs and projects. The monitoring and evaluation of results shall be evidence-based, with information generated from all stages of development, i.e. inputs, process, outputs, outcomes and timeframes, as well as, their relationships in the implementation of strategies, programs and projects. The main contributing factors behind success or failure of implementation, as well as, the improvements that will be required in the future shall be included as among the indicators to be observed in monitoring. Mindanao’s external environment shall be monitored through contextual indicators to account for the different socio-economic circumstances and policies, as well as, external trends and challenges that may have consequential impact on the outcomes spelled out in the MSSDF. Monitoring and evaluation shall be systematic and regular providing appropriate information to concerned implementing bodies and stakeholders for their prompt and timely interventions and for identification of measures towards the achievement of goals and objectives. To measure the effects of the MSSDF implementation to the overall quality of life of Mindanaons, impact evaluation shall also be conducted from which results shall be generated on the basis of established methods and procedures. Monitoring and evaluation activities shall be guided by an approved monitoring plan which shall outline the programs, activities and projects to be prioritized for monitoring. This monitoring plan shall also be reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure that activities are adjusted towards priority objectives.

MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT ARRANGEMENTS FRAMEWORK

CHAPTER V Institutional Arrangements The Framework is the strategic spatial development plan of Mindanao. Covering a span of 30 years, the MSS/DF aims to dynamically integrate the Mindanao regions and their growing cities and towns in a manner that promotes economic growth and sustainability, maintains ecological integrity and disaster resiliency, and ensures a balance among economic, social, and environmental objectives. The entire policy cycle and horizon of the MSS/DF shall be fully supported and guided by a network of institutions that enables a convergence of resources – human, financial, intellectual – to realize the development aspirations of Mindanao. The network of institutions and relationships that will set in motion the MSS/DF is specified in the chart below.

The overall policy guidance and direction for the MSS/DF springs from the National Physical Framework Plan and the National Spatial Strategy. The NPFP and the NSS are shepherded by the NEDA Board-National Land Use Committee that maintains a policy coordination mechanism with the RDCom-MAC in the formulation and subsequent implementation of the MSS/DF. The linkage of relationships for the spatial development of the country promotes inclusivity as the scope of development is distributed across national, Mindanao-wide, regional, and local levels. This ensures that development obtains a comprehensive yet defined perspective and orientation. The NEDA Board Regional Development Committee-Mindanao Area Committee (RDCom-MAC) shall be the principal institution working at the forefront to ensure the consistent adoption and well-coordinated implementation of the MSS/DF. As the prime mover, it shall steer the execution of the MSS/DF among the five Regional Development Councils of Mindanao and the Regional Executive Development Planning Board of the ARMM, and promote inclusivity and balance among Mindanao development stakeholders. The RDCom-MAC shall continuously provide policy direction and guidance, as well as formulate contingent policies to effect the successful implementation and advocacy of the MINDANAO SPATIAL STRATEGY/DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (MSS/DF)

77

MSS/DF – the flagship physical framework plan of the Mindanao Island. The five Mindanao RDCs and the ARMM-REDPB shall be the main enablers of the implementation and integration of the MSS/DF throughout Mindanao. They shall anchor each of their Regional Physical Framework Plans and Regional Development Plans to the MSS/DF, harnessing the spatial development strategies espoused by the MSS/DF and amplifying them in their respective regional planning documents. The RDCs and REDPB shall likewise facilitate the crafting of responsive investment programs for the component projects of the MSS/DF that have Mindanao-wide and inter-regional impact. Moreover, the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the MSS/DF shall be a primary responsibility of the RDCs and REDPB, while the NEDA Regional Offices and the Regional Planning and Development Office of the ARMM shall act as the main support mechanism of the RDCs and REDPB in the realization of the goals and objectives of both the MSS/DF and regional plans. The regional and local level implementation of the MSS/DF shall be a convergent undertaking of the RDCs and REDPB, the local government units, the various national government agencies, and the private sector. Extensive coordination and consensus efforts shall be continuously pursued by the RDCs and REDPB. To allow the MSS/DF implementation to reach substantial scale and scope with considerable positive impact, the RDCs and REDPB shall work closely and coordinate with local government units, and the business sector and civil society organizations, and endeavour to have the various comprehensive land use plans and comprehensive development plans of the LGUs subscribe to the principles, strategies, and projects in the MSS/DF. Likewise, the RDCs and REDPB shall promote the inclusion and funding of the various projects and programs of the MSS/DF in the local investment plans of the LGUs and the private sector. Parallel to this, the RDCs and REDPB shall work in tandem with various National Government Agencies in the different regions to support the implementation of the MSS/DF and regional plans, as well as seek the alignment of their programs, projects and future public investments to the comprehensive spatial development plan of Mindanao. The RDCs and REDPB shall also conduct corresponding coordination and promotion efforts with the private sector, especially in the Island’s growth centers, so that the MSS/DF can provide guidance toward private sector investments that consider efficiency, resiliency, and potential for economic growth and integration. The MSS/DF implementation, monitoring and evaluation process shall follow an outcomes- and results-based framework and context. And to support a unified and convergent implementation process, capability building measures, as well as communication and advocacy activities, shall be pursued among the RDCs and REDPB.

It is capable of accommodating super-panamax vessels of fourth to fifth generation of containerized cargo. The proposed port has a berthing area of 200 meters x 460 meters, laid out to handle two second generation containerships at one time or a single container ship of the third and fourth generation class.

The upgrading of navigational facilities and expansion of Dipolog and Pagadian airports are necessary to meet the growing demand and safety of the riding public.

The establishment of the Dipolog International Airport aims to cater to the growing demand for international flights.

The transfer/construction of the New Zamboanga International Airport would involve the transfer of all facilities to a new site to free-up prime urban land for redevelopment, expose fewer residents to aviation hazards, and better development control. The existing airport is constrained to expand as it is located in the urban core of the city.

3. Modernization/upgrading of airports and seaports to meet international standards

Total Industrial Area of 411 hectares

The MIRAIC has been developed by the provincial office of Lanao del Norte with support from Department of Trade Industry XII. The basic concept of MIRAIC is to construct Export Processing Zone (EPZ) in addition to regular industrial estate with full range of industrial infrastructure.

The Strong Republic Nautical Highway, through the Port of Dapitan, links the food baskets of Region IX to the consumer markets in Luzon. Being the main trading and passenger transport link to Zamboanga del Norte from Manila, Cebu and other urban centers in Visayas and Mindanao, it is imperative that upgrading and expansion of this port should be pursued.

The existing port is underutilized despite its ideal location due to the road improvement. However, the port is proposed for conversion to Container shipyard to cater the congested- neighboring ports in the region.

The Panguil Bay Bridge Project shall be located over Panguil Bay and will connect the Municipality of Tubod, Lanao del Norte to Tangub City in Misamis Occidental. It is proposed to be a 2-lane 3.19 km. long bridge with the following details:

The Ganassi/Madambad-Tubod Road is classified as a national secondary road of strategic importance and would directly link the province of Lanao del Sur of ARMM and the province of Lanao del Norte of Region 10. It will connect two major arterial road networks in the area consisting of Malabang-Malawi Road (a section of which is part of the Lake Lanao Circumferential Road) that leads onwards to Cotabato City and IliganAurora Road. Thus, apart from serving as an inter-provincial link for Lanao provinces, it will also function as a shorter inter-regional linkage between Region 12 and ARMM to Region 10.

The proposed Kapalong-TalaingodValencia, Bukidnon Road Project starts at the Municipality of Kapalong, Davao del Norte, about 20 kms from the Pan-Philippine Highway in Tagum City, the provincial capital, and passes through the municipalities of Talaingod, Davao del Norte and San Fernando, Bukidnon until it ends at the junctions of Sayre Highway in the City of Valencia, Bukidnon.

The project is envisioned to address inter-related issues contributing to the high incidence of poverty among fishermen and their families. Specifically, it would attempt to address the : (1) low coastal productivity because of habitat and watershed degradation; (2) fish stock depletion due to illegal fishing practices, siltation and overfishing; (3) lack of access to basic social services and institutional support; (4) high population density in coastal areas; (5) poor post-harvest handling and distribution systems often resulting in low fish prices; and (6) lack of alternative income-generating activities;

For Caraga Region, the project includes Butuan and LiangaHinatuan-Bislig bays/gulf and Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Sur provinces.

The project which will cover 4 regions namely Regions V, VIII, XIII, and ARMM will be implemented for a 7-year period.
