The Provincial Government of Bohol has created through an Executive Order by Governor Edgar M. Chatto, an Environmental Management for Roads and Other Infrastructure (EMIR) Team headed by Mr. Jose Jeffrey V. Bernasor of DILG. This team has been charged with the conduct of an environmental assessment of road projects for proposal to PRMF and to be funded by the PLGU’s 20% development fund. The team has already prepared from January to March 2012 the Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) for a road project fully surveyed and designed by the Planning and Design Team at PEO, that of the Poblacion Valencia – Anoyon – Omjon Road, up for FY3 road rehabilitation for PRMF funding. The physical works program continues to focus on road development priorities and expands to include other priority roads maintenance, rectification and rehabilitation.

In particular, PRMF has introduced better systems and processes directed towards economic development, i.e. the Electronic Tax Revenue Assessment and Collection System (e-TRACS), which accounted to increases in revenues in most of the pilot municipalities. The Internal Audit Office is another breakthrough in local governance introduced by the PRMF. The office is involved in the PRMF activities in all the reform areas and is tasked to provide monthly and quarterly reports to the Regional Office.

Following extensive consultations with its various stakeholders, BMT PaDaYon indicated tourism, agriculture and fisheries as the priority areas for Local Economic Development (LED) in the three towns. The MLGOOs assigned in the LGUs are actively involved as members of their respective Technical Working Groups that worked out for the implementation of the four Strategic Objectives of promoting the BMT as a prime eco-cultural destination; increasing responsible tourism-based enterprises; improving market/ supply chain linkages; and strengthening multi-stakeholder partnerships. The three LGUs have already started to position themselves to take their respective roles in tourism development. The Municipality of Panglao with its sandy beaches, string of resorts, restaurants and entertainment establishments is considered as the tourism hub. Dauis, as the gateway to the island, plans to develop itself into a commercial complex, while Baclayon, with soil well suited for agriculture, would be developed as the food basket of the Bohol Marine Triangle. PaDaYon BMT has identified the following key areas for improvement: 1) compliance with tourism standards that emphasize “green technology; 2) development of the entrepreneurial capacity of community-based tourism service providers; 3) promotion of tourism experiences with accurate and updated tourism data and information; and 4) a well-managed biodiversity program.

Highlighting the DRRM/CCA implementation in 2012 is the turning over of the DRRM Plans of the three pilot LGUs (World Bank -DILG Technical Assistance for Mainstreaming of DRRM/ CCA in Planning) to the DILG through Undersecretary Austere Panadero. These are the municipalities of Jagna, Inabanga and Loboc. The technical assistance program started in 2010 and ended in 2012. The closing of the WB-DILG program was marked with a ceremonial turn-over of the LGU outputs- the DRRM Plans on September 1, 2012.

DILG BOHOL Annual Report 2012 Page 63 Enhancing LGU Capacity on CCA/DRRM Program Enhancing LGU Capacity on CCA/DRRM Program To gauge and scale up the LGU’s preparedness and efforts for disaster risk reduction and management, the Seal of Disaster Preparedness (SDP) project is conceptualized and implemented by the department. It looks into institutional preparedness, operational preparedness and innovative practices of LGUs. For CY 2012, the SDP is first implemented in LGUs with high risk to flood. However, on the last quarter of the year, a directive was issued for the administration of the SDP level I in other identified flood prone areas with moderate or low affectation. Thus, the province of Bohol administered the SDP in the flood prone LGUs (based on the list of DENR) in the month of November, 2012. DILG Bohol also deemed it proper to include other LGUs to check as well their level of preparedness for flood. As of this writing, all field officers were already done with the data gathering, with the Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Officer (DRRMO) accomplishing the SDP Data Capture Form (DCF).The succeeding step which is data verification with the cross posting scheme and involvement of the Civil Society Organization Representatives (CSOs) will be done early next year. It is also worthwhile to mention that a Roll Out on the Seal of Disaster Preparedness was conducted in all provinces of the region to orient all field officers regarding the SDP. This was done prior to the SDP administration. DILG Bohol had its one-day orientation seminar on June 13, 2012 at Bohol Tropics, Tagbilaran City, with the Regional Focal Person on DRRM, Ms. Willie Jean Cabanag acting as resource person. On the otherhand, the City of Tagbilaran was audited on its environmental compliance which was administered by the Environment Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

This project is designed for LGU officials, local functionaries, members of the Local Development Councils and special bodies to make informed decisions to reduce the risks and prepare for disasters caused by climate change and its impacts through shared knowledge, promote learning tools and develop and implement training programs for LGUs and the community. Even if the program only covers selected LGUs in the region, the province of Bohol had its training programs for LGUs with the involvement and facilitation of the DILG. Reorientation seminars/trainings on DRRM/CCA with Contingency and Work & Financial Planning were conducted in different municipalities of the province.

This paved the way for the Provincial down to the municipal governments to be DRRM compliant. This is manifested through the operational DRRM Councils and the temporary establishment of the DRRM office. Offices are temporary considering the absence of regular personnel due to the Personal Services (PS) limitation of LGUs. Other indications of a DRRM Act compliant LGU are formulation/presence of DDRM Plans, presence of Operations/Auxiliary Center, presence of an Evacuation Center, organized trained and equipped Emergency Response Teams (ERTs), ease of LDRRM Fund utilization and presence of early warning system/signal. Moreover, DILG officers also conducted an advocacy and monitored on the compliance to Republic Act 9729, otherwise known as Climate Change Adaptation Act.

The LCAT-VAWC is composed of government officials, functionaries and stakeholders in order to address human trafficking and Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) cases. It is created for purposes of expediency, maximizing resources and preventing duplication of functions and representation at the local level. Local committees on anti-trafficking and VAWC will be created instead of establishing two separate bodies at the municipal level. LCAT VAWCs were organized through Executive Orders by Local Chief Executives of the city of Tagbilaran and the 47 municipalities. While, for the Province of Bohol, it was created through a Provincial Ordinance. Cap Dev Project for VAW Desk DILG-PCW-DSWD-DepEd-DOH JMC No. 2010-02 mandates all governors, city and municipal mayors and punong baran¬gays to ensure the establishment of a Violence Against Women (VAW) Desk in every barangay. The presence of a VAW Desk in every barangay reinforces the government’s resolve to eliminate discrimination against women and will ensure that any form of violence against them are addressed in a gender-responsive manner. In compliance with the said JMC, all the municipalities facilitated the establishment of VAW desk in all the 1,109 barangays. Technical assistance was also provided to the organized VAW Desks. This was possible through the advocacy and technical assistance of DILG Bohol field personnel. Meanwhile, a total of 531 VAWC cases were reported in 2012 for the for all LGUs.
