CHILD-FRIENDLY LOCAL GOVERNANCE AUDIT (CFLGA) The CFLGA is a results-based assessment tool and an annual mandatory audit designed to gauge the level of performance of local government units (LGUs) insofar as implementing programs and instituting measures to uplift the welfare status of children. The audit also utilizes the Seal of Child-Friendly and Local Governance Knowledge Management System (SCFLG KMS) wherein data collected from the CFLGA data-capture forms will be encoded and scores are automatically generated. Every year, the LGUs are assessed based on set indicators (Survival, Development, Protection, Participation, and Governance). Orientation on the Supplemental Guidelines of the 2022 CFLGA using the SCFLG KMS was conducted on November 7, 2022. It was attended by the members of the City, Municipal, and Provincial Inter-Agency Monitoring Task Force (IMTF). The audit process of the LGUs IMTF will be conducted on January 16-27, 2023 for Region VII. This would involve data encoding and data validation. All data requirements and means of verification shall be generated or sourced from CY 2021. LGUs that pass the CFLGA are conferred with the Seal of Child-Friendly Local Governance (SCFLG) by the CWC Board. The SCFLG is a requirement for both the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) and the Presidential Award for Child-Friendly Municipalities and Cities (PACFMC). There were six LGUs conferred with the SCFLG by the CWC Board for the 2021 CFLGA, namely: Antequera, Corella, Alburquerque, Tubigon, Getafe and Bien Unido.

CORE FUNCTIONS Project Monitoring Committee In compliance with the DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2019-188, the Provincial Government of Bohol and all 48 local government units issued an executive order on the organization or reconstitution of Sub-Regional Project Monitoring Committees (PMCs). Local PMCs shall monitor and evaluate programs and projects to include the following: 1. Program and projects in the Local Development Investment Program (foreign-funded and GAA-funded) and those in the priority list of the President, including development projects funded from the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) share of LGUs or supported by funds released directly to the province/municipality/city; and 2. Projects are funded from locally-generated resources which are implemented within their respective areas. MONITORING OF CONTRACTOR Pursuant to DILG MC No. 2018-30, all Local Government Units (LGUs) were directed to require the Contractors of local government projects to properly inform the public before the commencement of road projects. In addition, Local Chief Executives are further required to ensure compliance of contractors to safety and protection measures to include installation of proper warning signages placed 100 meters and 50, meters respectively, which shall include lights or reflectors during night time before any road or bridges constructions. Localization of the Magna Carta of Women The Magna Carta of Women (MCW) is a comprehensive women's human rights law that seeks to eliminate discrimination against women by recognizing, protecting, fulfilling and promoting the fundamental rights of Filipino women, especially those in the marginalized sectors. It also mandates non-discriminatory and pro-gender equality and equity measures to enable women’s participation in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies, plans, and programs for national, regional, and local development. In order to localize the Magna Carta of Women, PCW-DILG-DBM-NEDA Joint Memorandum Circular 2013-01 was issued in 2013 and amended through JMC 2016-01. There are institutional mechanisms to localize the Magna Carta of Women, namely: Reconstitution of the GAD Focal Point System (GFPS), GAD Planning and Budgeting, Establishment of the GAD Database, Enactment of the GAD Code and Monitoring, Evaluating the Magna Carta of Women Implementation and Mainstreaming GAD in Planning and Capacity Building on GAD to stakeholders. 108

The DILG monitors the implementation of these institutional mechanisms in the semestral report on the Implementation of the Magna Carta of Women with the following data: Table XXVI INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMS NO.

Conduct of Regular City and/or Municipal MCC Meetings Across Bohol As monitored by a quarterly report on the Functionality of Provincial/City/Municipal Management and Coordinating Committees, a vast majority of the city and municipalities in the Province of Bohol were able to conduct regular quarterly MCC meetings during the first, second, and third quarters of the year 2022. It is expected that such regular meetings will continue to be conducted by the Provincial and City and Municipal MCCs in the coming quarter of 2022. 109

ENHANCING CAPACITIES TO ADDRESS HIV/AIDS DILG-Bohol has their share of support in the government’s efforts against HIV and AIDS. All the Local AIDS Councils (LACs) of the 48 municipalities and one city are reconstituted. These Councils have continuously implemented programs and activities and enforced policies addressing HIV. Monitoring of the LAC functionality is done by the LGOOs through submission of reports. Information dissemination, educational campaigns, and other advocacy strategies are being undertaken to enhance the capacities of various stakeholders in preventing or responding to HIV concerns down to the barangay level. PERSONS WITH DISABILITY One way to uphold the right of PERSONS WITH DISABILITY is by giving them a platform to address their needs and concerns through the establishment of Person with Disability Affairs Offices (PDAOs) and appointing of Person With Disability Focal Persons (FPs) at the Local Government Units (LGUs) as provided for in Republic Act No. 10070 known as PDAO LAW. To ensure and strengthen LGU’s functionality and to properly cater to the needs of respective local persons with disabilities populace, the following policy compliance were placed: 1) Evaluate the functionality of PDAOs/FPs using the PDAO Functionality Assessment Form; 2) Conduct site inspection and meet with concerned officials/functionaries for feed backing on the strengths and weaknesses of the PDAOs/FPs; 3) Discuss within the concerned LCEs on the outcome of the evaluation; 4) Come up with recommended actions; and 5) Submit accomplished PDAO Functionality Assessment Form duly signed by the C/MLGOO in printed copies to DILG Provincial Office. DILG Bohol echoed the necessity of the establishment and appointing of PDAOs / FPs in the 49 local government units including the City of Tagbilaran and the Bohol Provincial Government. 110

COMPLIANCE TO RA 9344 The Local Government Units’ compliance to the provisions of Republic Act 9344, otherwise known as the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (JJWA), is annually monitored by the Department through DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2012-62. Particularly, the following sections of the JJWA are checked: • Section 15 (1% IRA Allocation for Local Council for the Protection of Children) • Section 16 (appointment of Licensed Local Social Welfare and Development Officer) • Section 18 (Development and Implementation of Local Comprehensive Juvenile Intervention Program) • Section 49 (establishment of Youth Homes) The report serves as a reference for the Executive Committee on Persons Deprived of Liberty, the Juvenile Justice, and Welfare Council, Government Agencies, NGOs, researchers, and planners in identifying the extent as well as the gaps in the implementation of RA 9344 and eventually come up with the plans for the full and effective implementation of the Act. As of December 2021, 35 LGUs have allocated 1% of the IRA for the LCPC, while 13 allocated more than 1%. Of the 48 LGUs, 40 have appointed LSWDOs, 24 with CLJIP, and 3 with established Youth Homes. Institutionalizing Gender Responsive Local Governance The local government units need to be transparent, equitable and gender-responsive to achieve good local governance. With this, the DILG through the DILG Provincial GAD focal person and the C/MLGOOs provided technical assistance and facilitated the local government units in the conduct of their capacity-building activities which involves Gender and Development (GAD) Planning and Budgeting, Orientation on GAD and other related laws. Former GAD Provincial focal person, LGOO VII Ma. Reina Quilas together with the new GAD Provincial focal person, LGOO II Julie Mae Nombre provided technical assistance to the following local government units in their GAD related activities: Table XXVII LGU ACTIVITY DATE Batuan GAD Planning and Budgeting Workshop March 8, 2022 Sikatuna GAD Planning and Budgeting Workshop March 24, 2022 San Miguel GAD Planning and Budgeting Workshop July 20, 2022 Panglao GAD Planning and Budgeting Workshop December 28, 2022 Panglao GAD Planning and Budgeting Workshop December 28, 2022 111

LOCAL COMMITTEES ON ANTI-TRAFFICKING AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN (LCAT-VAWC) The Local Committees on Anti-Trafficking and Violence Against Women and their Children (LCAT-VAWC) is a mechanism established to coordinate and monitor the implementation of Republic Act No. 9208 (Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003) and Republic Act No. 9262 (Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004). Through the issuance of Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2010 by DILG, DOJ, and DSWD, the creation of LCAT-VAWCs strengthened local structures to collaboratively address the problems of trafficking and VAWC. LCAT-VAWC Reconstitution This year, the Provincial, City and Municipal Governments reconstituted their respective LCAT-VAWCs due to the assumption of the new set of officials. The Provincial Government of Bohol issued an Exec Order Reconstituting the PCAT-VAWC. Its first meeting under the reconstituted PCAT-VAWC was on October 25, 2022 at the Ceremonial Hall of the Provincial Capitol. It was conducted simultaneously with the meeting of the GAD Focal Point System (GFPS) and the Provincial Council for the Protection of Children (PCPC). LCAT-VAWC Functionality Assessment To strengthen the LCAT-VAWC and determine the areas which need to be enhanced, a tool was developed to assess its performance or functionality. The assessment results would serve as basis for policy and capacity development to strengthen the capability of LGUs in combating TIP and eliminating VAWC. For the 2022 LCAT-VAWC functionality assessment, the base year is 2021. 112

The functionality assessment started with the organization of the Interagency Monitoring Team which was composed of LGOO VII MA. REINA A. QUILAS, as chairperson and with the following as members: PROS. LUZ B. ZAMORAS-VIRTUDAZO - Rep Prov’l. Prosecutor’s Office, MS. DONNA BELLE MANTE - Rep Prov’l. Social Welfare & Devt. Office, MS. FRITZIE OLAGUIR - Rep Prov’l. Health Office, PLT MILDRED TAGAAMO- Rep PNP Prov’l. Office and MS. JANICE SOFIA TALIP – Rep from any of the Prov’l. LGU-accredited/recognized CSO on women and children. The IMT first met on August 3, 2022 and had the following matters discussed: IMT Functions, Indicators/ Criteria, Timelines to be adhered to and other issues and concerns. Three weeks were devoted to the assessment. It was only done through table evaluation, documents presented were evaluated and checked. The IMT had its second meeting on Aug 23, 2022 at 1:30 PM at the DILG Provincial Office. During the said meeting, finalization of the assessment rating was done. Figure 16 below shows the results of the 2022 LCAT-VAWC functionality assessment ‘ As shown in the graph, 23 LCAT/VAWCs are mature, 24 are progressive and one is non-functional. The lone municipality which LCAT-VAWC is non-functional, has no Executive Order constituting or reconstituting its LCAT-VAWC. 113

LCAT-VAWC Awarding/Recognition On July 30, 2022 during the celebration of the World Day Against Trafficking (WDAT), the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking, Anti-Child Pornography, and Violence Against Women and their Children (IACAT ACP-VAWC) in Region 7 conferred awards to C/MLGUs for their programs against human trafficking.

VAW Desk Section 12 D, Rule IV of the Rules and Regulations Implementing the Magna Carta of Women provides for the establishment of a VAW Desk in every barangay to ensure that violence against women cases are fully addressed in a gender-responsive manner. The VAW Desk is a facility that would address VAW cases in a gender-responsive manner, managed by a person designated by the punong barangay. It is situated within the premises of the barangay hall. In the absence of a barangay hall, the VAW Desk shall be established within the premises where the punong barangay holds office. Considering the vital role of the VAW Desk, a tool was developed to assess VAW desk functionality. This was contained in DILG MC 2017-114 dated August 30, 2017 re Guidelines in Monitoring the Functionality of Barangay VAW Desk. The functionality of the Barangay VAW Desk is based on the following areas: Establishment, Resources, Policies, Plans and Budget, and Accomplishment. For the 2022 VAW Desks functionality, the functionality of VAW Desks for 2020 & 2021 are assessed. In line with DILG MC No. 2017-114, the VAW desks of the 1109 barangays of the province were assessed as to their functionality. All the 1109 barangays in the province of Bohol were assessed. Figure 17 The chart shows that the functionality of VAW desks improved from 2020 to 2021. In 2020 only 361 VAW desks were ideal, but in 2021 it became 425. The field officers continue to provide technical assistance for the functionality of the VAW desks. The DILG Field officers also take the lead in assessing their functionality since they head the Interagency Monitoring Team. 116

Violence Against Women and Children (VAW/C) Report To protect the rights of the women and children, the “Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Law (AVAWC)” was enacted in 2004 or the famous statute known as Republic Act No. 9262. The DILG as one of the agencies which composed the Inter-Agency Council on Violence Against Women and their Children are tasked to formulate programs and projects to eliminate VAW based on its mandates and will also serve as the monitoring body as regards to VAWC cases lodged at the barangay VAW desk and if the same is acted upon. Hence, an advisory directing all local government units to ensure the functionality of the Barangay VAW Desk and the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC) was issued on April 2020. The DILG and the Council for the Welfare of Children also issued Circular 2020-001 to reiterate the roles of LGUs in reaching out to children including those in street situations, in need of special protection, at risk, and in conflict with the law during the community quarantine. LOCAL COUNCIL FOR THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN (LCPC) Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC) is a council organized at the provincial, city, municipal and barangay level that serves as the umbrella organization of all children’s concerns. As mandated by law to oversee the organization and functionality of the LCPC, DILG-Bohol enjoins Local Chief Executives (LCEs) to organize and make functional the LCPCs, which shall take the lead in the integration and implementation of all children’s programs in their respective localities. Using the comprehensive guidelines pursuant to DILG MC No. 2021-039, Bohol field officers monitoring results showed that majority of the LCPCs are functional with Mature and Ideal levels of functionality. FY 2022 LCPC Functionality Assessment was conducted during the first semester of the year. Bohol Province garnered Ideal Functionality, with a score of 92.43, as assessed by the Regional Inter-Agency Monitoring Task Force (IMTF). Results were released last November 7, 2022 during the conduct of the Post-Evaluation of LCPC and CFLGA Implementation cum Regional Orientation on the Supplemental Guidelines on 2022 CFLGA Using SCFLG-KMS.

BALIK PROBINSYA, BAGONG PAG-ASA PROGRAM Pursuant to Executive Order No. 114, series of 2020, the Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-Asa Program was created. This program is geared towards addressing Metro Manila’s congested urban areas by encouraging people, especially informal settlers, to return to their home provinces. It aims to provide hope for a better future to Filipinos through equity in resources throughout the country that will boost countryside development. DILG Bohol, as a member agency of the Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-Asa Program, is tasked to coordinate with the provincial government, the destination LGU, and other concerned offices/agencies to facilitate the arrival of the beneficiaries of the said program. For CY 2022, DILG Bohol has not conducted any activity regarding the implementation of the Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-Asa Program. 118

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES COVID-19 Operation Center Following the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department activated and established an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The EOC is designated to undertake multi-stakeholder coordination, manage information, and mobilize resources in anticipation of and/or to support incident operations. LGOO II Roy Vincent A. Gaviola was designated as head of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) through Provincial Order No. 2020-52A. For CY 2022, following the decrease of positive COVID-19 cases and the increasing number of vaccinated individuals, the Province of Bohol was placed under Alert Level 2.

PROVISION OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON LOCAL CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION PLAN (LCCAP) / CLIMATE AND DISASTER RISK ASSESSMENT (CDRA) As a political unit, LGUs are mandated to exercise their inherent powers such as police power, as well as share with the National Government the responsibility in the management and maintenance of ecological balance in their respective territorial jurisdiction. Being a corporate body, every LGU is mandated to promote the general welfare among the inhabitants within its territorial jurisdiction through planning as an integral part of governance and rationalizing local planning to enhance each LGU’s capability. DILG MC No. 2014-135 provides for the guidelines on the Formulation of Local Climate Change Action Plan (LCCAP) for all the LGUs, invoking Section 14 of RA 9729 (Climate Change Act of 2009), as amended by RA 10174. The issuance reiterates that the LGUs shall be the frontline agencies in the formulation, planning, and implementation of climate change action plans in their respective areas consistent with the National Framework Strategy on Climate Change and National Climate Change Action Plan. Further, one of the essential components in the formulation of LCCAP is understanding the risk in all its dimensions (i.e., hazards, exposures, vulnerability) through climate and disaster risk assessments (CDRA). Such knowledge should be the basis of disaster risk reduction and management, as well as, climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. The risk assessment forms an integral part in ensuring that all plans and programs of Local Government Units are scientific and evidence-based. Consistent with the Department’s mandate to capacitate LGUs, DILG 7 in partnership with the Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD) conducted a training on Geographic Information System (GIS), Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) and formulation of Local Climate Change Action Plan (LCCAP) on September 19-23, 2022. The said training was participated by the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officers (LDRRMO), Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators (MPDC) and Municipal Local Government Operations Officer (MLGOO) via blended approach. The LDRRMOs and MPDCs of the municipalities of Baclayon, Balilihan, Batuan, Garcia Hernandez, Loon, Mabini, Panglao, Sevilla, Talibon and Tubigon attended the traditional face to face meeting set up at the Golden Prince Hotel and Suites, Cebu City while the rest of the municipalities of the province of Bohol attended the activity via zoom. 121

Identification of Hotels, Inns and other Accommodation Establishments to be used as COVID-19 Isolation or Quarantine Facility To address the insufficiency of COVID-19 isolation or quarantine facilities in the country, LGUs were directed to identify hotels and other accommodation establishments within their areas of jurisdiction that may be utilized as isolation or quarantine facilities. For the Province of Bohol, there are 38 identified inns, hotels or other accommodation establishments that serve as isolation or quarantine facilities.

It also aims to develop, promote and implement a comprehensive National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (NDRRMP) that aims to strengthen the capacity of the National Government and LGUs, together with partner stakeholders, to build resilience of communities and to institutionalize arrangements and measures to reduce disaster risks, including projected climate risks and to enhance disaster preparedness and response capabilities at all levels. Pursuant to Republic Act No. 10121 (DRRM Act of 2010), Republic Act No. 9729 (Climate Change Act of 2009) and DILG’s Operation Listo through the LGU State of Preparedness Report which is submitted quarterly, LGUs conducted an inventory of their foundational administrative requirements. This is to assess and address the performance gaps, link gaps to policy or program interventions and monitor improvements on disaster preparedness. 124

This outcome area requires the whole presence of key people to whom the program operations are entrusted with, that to some extent demands real-time outputs and actions as our DRRM works pervade disaster operations and emergencies. To ensure the accomplishment of the DRRM-CCA deliverables, aside from the disaster monitoring works, DRRM-CCA Focal Persons Meeting has been attended by the DRRM Provincial Focal Person. For CY 2022, LGOO II Roy Vincent Gaviola attended the DRR-CCA focal persons’ meeting on December 19, 2022 which was held virtually. The meeting serves as a venue for leveling off of deliverables, threshing out issues and concerns in the implementation of PPAs, and coaching among the focal persons. Partnership meetings on Listong Pamilyang Pilipino: An initiative to strengthen the Disaster Preparedness of Households Listo or Operation Listo is a disaster preparedness program of the DILG and is DILG’s response to the continuing threats of natural disasters that confront LGUs. It seeks to highlight the importance of preparing for calamities, including tyhoons. Operation Listo provides sets of relevant interventions for disaster preparedness aimed to create enabling environment for local government units to further develop their capacities towards mitigating the adverse impacts of disasters and climate change. These initiatives are offered in the form of skills-building, technical support, policies and training for all LGUs to be at the forefront of the community’s initiatives to adapt, mitigate risks, prepare and recover from disasters. One of the components of Operation Listo is the Listong Pamilyang Pilipino where the DILG partners with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in distributing “Gaby at Mapa”, a family guide to action before, during and after a disaster. It requires families to make a household plan determining their evacuation routes, family meeting points, and safe places in their home. 127

Families are advised to prepare their e-Balde, or emergency balde, which contains essential items to be brought during evacuation, such as ready-to-eat food, three gallons of water, medicine, first-aid and hygiene kits, clothes, flashlights, and radios. As of the reporting period, no partnership meeting on Listong Pamilyang Pilipino was conducted during CY 2022. POLICY ADVOCACY ON THE ORGANIZATION OF LDRRM OFFICE, UTILIZATION OF LDRRM FUND AND OTHER POLICY ISSUANCES Sec. 12 of Republic Act 10121 or the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act provides for the establishment of a Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO) in every province, city and municipality which shall be responsible for setting the direction, development, implementation and coordination of disaster risk management programs within their territorial jurisdiction. The LDRRMO shall be under the office of the governor, city or municipal mayor and shall be composed of a DRRMO to be assisted by three (3) staff responsible for: (1) administration and training; (2) research and planning; and (3) operations and warning. To prescribe policies for the creation of the abovementioned office, JMC No. 2014-01 was issued laying down the guidelines specifically for the institutionalization of the four statutory DRRM positions in every province, city, and municipality. Being one of the priority programs of the department, all the 49 LGUs, to include the Province of Bohol, were conducted with advocacy activities and provided with technical assistance for them to substantially comply with the requirements of the law and the department issuance since 2011 up to the present. The table below shows that forty-five (45) LGUs, including the Province of Bohol, have a regular DRRMO.

SIERRA BULLONES SIKATUNA TALIBON TAGBILARAN CITY TRINIDAD TUBIGON UBAY VALENCIA Disaster Online Reporting and Monitoring System (DORMS) The DILG as Vice Chair for Disaster Preparedness stood at the forefront, mobilizing its personnel and resources in the maintenance of peace and order and public safety through real time monitoring of disasters. To respond to these calamities, the Department has provided support and assistance to typhoon-affected areas wherein all its DILG Regional Offices (ROs) and Provincial Offices (POs) were instructed to activate their Disaster Online Reporting and Monitoring System (DORMS) to generate reliable, accurate, and timely information about disasters. LGUs through their LDRRMOs were mandated to submit situational reports on the preparations undertaken by the LGU before, during and after the tropical cyclone has passed. DILG also directed the affected LGUs to heighten their disaster preparedness by monitoring all PAGASA weather advisories, bulletins, and other online weather-related platforms such as Geohazard Web Portal, among others. Likewise, LGUs are also advised to prepare for the implementation of pre-emptive protocols, if necessary, especially in areas within the storm surge warning or probable massive flash flooding. For CY 2022, following were monitored by the DILG Bohol Provincial Office viz: TROPICAL CYCLONE TCWS No. DATE OF ACTIVATION TD Agaton 1 April 11, 2022 TS Paeng 1 October 28, 2022 TYPHOON ODETTE On December 16, 2021, Typhoon Odette devastated the province of Bohol. It first made landfall in the Municipality of President Carlos P. Garcia at 6:30 PM and then in the Municipality of Bien Unido at 7:30 PM. With a maximum sustained winds of 195km/h and gustiness of up to 240km/h, Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 4 was raised in the entire Province of Bohol. 130

After the onslaught of typhoon Odette, the entire province of Bohol was left with no electricity and no network coverage prompting the Sangguniang Panlalawigan to declare the province of Bohol under a state of calamity. Thousands of houses were partially or totally damaged leaving thousands of families in the evacuation centers for weeks. Significant damages to school buildings, health stations, town halls and other infrastructures were also left behind by typhoon Odette and supplies of water and gasoline went scarce which resulted in the disruption of the delivery of government services and the daily lives of the Boholanos.

Panglao Island Rehabilitation and Restoration Project (PIRRP) President Rodrigo R. Duterte instructed the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to monitor all island resorts and beach tourism destinations in the country to avoid a scenario that happened in Boracay last 2018. To ensure the DILG’s compliance with the President’s order, Secretary Eduardo M. Año back then directed all regional offices to submit a report of the list and summary of provincial, city, or municipal ordinances relative to environmental conservation, building construction, and easement regulation. Further, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has created projects with the aim of rehabilitating and restoring top tourism spots in the country. In line with this, PENRO-Bohol has led the Panglao Island Rehabilitation and Restoration Project (PIRRP). It is being implemented in the municipalities of Dauis and Panglao which addresses the underlying causes of environmental degradation in Panglao Island such as land and water pollution and violation of easement policies. It involves the establishment of a command center; monitoring of water quality, water tourism activities, solid waste management practices and facilities, establishments structures within legal easement; conduct of technical conferences; and filing of cases. The PIRRP is composed of representatives from concerned national agencies (DENR, DILG, DOT, DPWH, PNP, BFP, PCG, TIEZA), Bohol Provincial Government Offices, and MLGUs of Panglao and Dauis, Bohol. A series of inspections were conducted by DENR Region VII and PENRO-Bohol in 2018 and 2020 on establishments to check on their compliance with regards to its permits, structures within and outside the 20-meter legal easement and other data, notices of violations were served by PENRO-Bohol through the PIRRP to establishments and were called off to Technical Conferences. If validations are needed, ocular inspections are being conducted. For 2022, the PIRRP has conducted two Technical Conferences and one ocular inspection. Solid waste management practices and facilities are being inspected/monitored in the municipalities covered by this project, Dauis and Panglao. A total of three inspections/monitoring were conducted for CY2022. These were done in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. It was notable that there were improvements seen as the inspection/monitoring was done on a quarterly basis for the afore-mentioned municipalities. 139

Konkreto at Ayos na Lansangan at Daan Tungo sa Pangkalahatang Kaunlaran (KALSADA) program. In 2016, the KALSADA Program started through the support of the Provincial Road and Management Facility (PRMF). Two Australian Government-funded initiatives, Coalitions for Change and the Provincial Road Management Facility (PRMF), helped lay the groundwork for these flagship programs that are now improving the quality of the road infrastructure condition in the Philippines. Through national funding from KALSADA, it improves the condition of provincial roads, improve the road safety on provincial roads by incorporating road safety features of the design. This results into reduced travel time and travel costs.
