1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Zamboanga is a highly urbanized city located in the western part of Mindanao (Figure 1). Zamboanga
is the third largest city by land area and the sixth most highly populated city in the Philippines. The
city is considered as the commercial and industrial center of Zamboanga Peninsula and the nearby
provinces in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-Tawi).

However, Zamboanga has a long history of armed conflict in the struggle for territorial rights. The
most recent one was between the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Moro National
Liberation Front (MNLF) which erupted on September 9, 2013 and lasted until September 29, 2013.

The armed conflict, later called the Zamboanga Crisis, created a socio-economic catastrophe in the city.
The crisis occurred in six barangays which form part of Zamboanga City’s commercial center and
which host key government facilities. Per the December 2, 2013 Post Conflict Needs Assessment
Report of the Office of Civil Defense Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
Region IX, “the 21 day siege left over 400 people killed, countless injured, at least 110,000 Internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs) in evacuation centers; billions in economic loss, over 10,000 residential and
commercial establishments burned or completely destroyed. “ The location of the conflict-affected
areas is presented in Figure 2.

Because of the above incident, the entire City of Zamboanga is currently experiencing a humanitarian
crisis. The most affected group is the IDPs who are having difficulties in leading normal lives as they
are unable to meet their basic needs. Hence, there is a need for necessary and urgent interventions to be
rolled-out to prevent further complications in health, education, livelihood and security of the people.

In response to the crisis, Pres. Benigno Simeon Aquino III instructed Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH) Secretary Rogelio L. Singson to lead the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the
conflict-affected areas.

To plan the next steps for development, DPWH, with the participation of the local government of
Zamboanga City, have been tasked to lay down a strategic roadmap to identify programs and projects
to pursue the immediate rehabilitation and long-term redevelopment of the conflict-affected areas. It is
within this context that DPWH commissioned UP PLANADES (the Consultant) to provide consultancy
services in the preparation of Zamboanga City’s Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction (Z3R).

1.2 Project Objectives

Z3R outlines the plan and corresponding initiatives to address the impact of the crisis while taking the
opportunity to address urban development issues in the context of the city’s socio-cultural dimensions
and resiliency. Project preparation is guided by three main objectives which were identified after a
series of consultations between the Consultant Team, DPWH, City Government and other stakeholders.
These main objectives, along with their respective sub-objectives, are the following:

• Improve the overall environment of the affected communities

- Ensure the hygiene and sanitation of communities


- Provide appropriate social service facilities, infrastructure and amenities
- Provide communities with access to livelihood opportunities
- Protect communities against tidal action and protect environmentally-sensitive areas such as
mangroves and waterways
- Comply with “no settlements” policy on hazard and danger zones

• Minimize adverse social impacts and relocation

- Prioritize on-site housing rehabilitation and reconstruction


- Ensure culturally-sensitive housing development for Indigenous Peoples (IPs)

• Improve public safety and security of the community

- Provide police and military facilities


- Ensure appropriate environmental protection measures

Project preparation is underlain by the principle “Build Back Better.”

1.3 Project Approach

The preparation of Z3R entailed a challenging “plan-and-go” approach that is, upon reaching
agreements on the broad Conceptual Master Plan for the conflict-affected areas, planning for the
component projects immediately commenced. Such an approach was intended to accelerate project
delivery due to the pressing needs of IDPs.

The broad Conceptual Master Plan was prepared and finished as early as November 2013. Serving as
the organizing framework of Z3R, the concept plan was immediately subjected to a series of
brainstorming sessions among key stakeholders and opened to public consultations. By December
2013, the fifth version of the concept plan had been prepared and agreed upon by all stakeholders. This
was used as the basis of the national government’s initial budget provision for Z3R.

Thereafter, each component of the project was planned according to the Conceptual Master Plan. The
housing sites, road project packages and security facilities were planned one after the other.
Implementing government agencies, such as the National Housing Authority (NHA) and the Region IX
Office of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH-IX), proceeded to ground-level
consultations and validations as soon as the conceptual plan for each project component was finished
resulting to necessarily overlapped schedules. Adjustments to the broad Conceptual Master Plan and
individual conceptual plans, mainly to actual and on-ground conditions, were made as necessary
keeping in mind the overall objectives for Z3R. Detailed design followed as soon as agreements were

Page |4

Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

reached regarding each site development plan and house designs. Procurement for construction
services and actual construction immediately followed as soon as each site became ready.

1.4 Project Organization

Z3R preparation entailed the concerted efforts of key stakeholders. Overall guidance was provided by
DPWH Secretary Singson while the Zamboanga City Government provided ground-level project
coordination and logistics support, undertook community consultations, and initiated land acquisition
activities, among others. The Consultant Team worked closely with the City Government’s Crisis
Management Committee particularly the Rehabilitation/ Reconstruction Cluster.

The Consultant Team provided technical advisory services particularly initial stakeholder consultations
and conceptualization of the overall master plan, individual site development plans, roads and
infrastructure services as well as environmental and socio-economic interventions. The NHA and
DPWH-IX provided key roles in terms of community consultations, detailed design preparation,
construction services procurement and management of component projects. Other agencies, such as
DSWD, DTI, DA, DENR, SPDA, and others played supportive roles according to their specific areas of
concern.

The Project Organization is presented in the figure below:

2 SCOPING STUDY

2.1 Site Analysis

2.1.1 Site Location and Boundaries

Area Coverage

Z3R is focused on the barangays that sustained the most damage in the conflict, particularly areas that
were razed by fire. These include barangays Mariki, Rio Hondo, Sta. Catalina and Sta. Barbara which
are referred to in this report as the “core” barangays. Z3R also considered the barangays that were
peripherally affected by the conflict. These include those portions of barangays neighboring the core
such as Zone 4 and Kasanyangan as well as nearby Talon-Talon. The locations of the “core” and
peripherally-affected barangays, collectively referred to as the conflict-affected areas, are shown in
Figure 4.

The City Government reported that the areas affected by fire extended to about 46.60 hectares. The
most extensive damages occurred in Sta. Barbara and Sta. Catalina. The following table presents
information on the extent of areas affected by fire.

General Characteristics

The “core” barangays are within the City’s Primary Urban Center and are merely within 1.5 kilometers
distant from City Hall. Significant portions of Rio Hondo, Sta. Barbara, and Sta. Catalina are zoned as
High Density Residential, Light Industrial and Institutional. Prior to the Zamboanga Crisis, informal
settlements may be found on private lands, public easements and other locations. A significant
landscape feature found at the center of the “core” area is the Fishpond Zone which is under the
administration of the Zamboanga State College of Marine Science and Technology (ZCMST).
Barangay Mariki, on the other hand, is accentuated by the Sahaya Water Village, where houses and
community facilities are built on stilts above water.

A large portion of the conflict-affected area is covered by Proclamation No. 69 dated September 23,
1954. Covering nearly 53 hectares and straddling portions of Rio Hondo, Sta. Barbara, Zone IV and, to
a lesser extent, Mariki, the area (known as Pettit Barracks) was reserved for “Government Center
purposes of the City of Zamboanga…” This proclamation was amended by several others such as,
among others:

• Proclamation No. 392 series of 1957 which carved out the school site of the then Philippine
Institute of Fisheries Technology (now the ZCMST);
• Proclamation No. 559 series of 1959 which carved out and reserved the Fishpond Area in Rio
Hondo for the use of the then Southern Mindanao School of Fisheries (now the ZCMST).
• Proclamation No. 472 series of 1965 which carved out approximately 5.77 has. in Rio Hondo for
“Muslim community settlement site purposes.”

Proclamation No. 1458 series of 1975, on the other hand, reserved a portion of land in barangay Rio
Hondo “as a Settlement Area in the name of the Filipino Muslim Community.” This area became
known as the Sahaya Water Village and was the origin of what is now barangay Mariki.

The proclamation areas are shown in Figure 5 and their textual descriptions are presented in Annex 1.

All four “core” barangays are classified urban and belong to the City’s First Congressional District.
These barangays are also within the upper half in the ranking of population size among the City’s 98
barangays. Population densities are high in the “core” area, with the predominantly water-based
community in Mariki showing an astounding density of 1,564 persons per hectare.

Peripheral barangays are within the First (Zone IV) and Second (Kasanyangan and Talon-Talon)
Congressional Districts. Talon-Talon is notably the City’s most populous barangay but has a relatively
lower density owing to its large land area.

* “Others” include house sharers, renters, caretakers and boarders.

Majority of these fire victims and IDPs temporarily occupied the Joaquin Enriquez Memorial
Sports Complex (JEMSC). The operations at the JEMSC are managed by the Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD) Region IX. The rest of the affected families are in other
evacuation centers and transitory sites or temporary shelters.

Statistics on these fire victims and IDPs are in a state of flux, because there are daily movements of
IDPs returning to their places of origin, transferring from evacuation centers and transitory sites,
and also because there are cases of double or under reporting.

Nonetheless, the Housing and Land Management Division (HLMD) of the City Government of
Zamboanga has completed the validation of the data on fire victims. As of January 17, 2014, the
HLMD has completed the data validation of these households in the affected barangays. These
areas are Rio Hondo, Mariki, Sta. Catalina, Sta. Barbara, Kasanyangan, Zone IV, Talon-Talon
(Puerto Princesa), ZCMST, , Layag-layag, Leha-Leha, Asinan, and Bugguk. As of this period,
about 7,930 households were listed as fire victims.

As of March 20, 2014, the number of families affected by the fires was estimated at 8,552 families.
This has increased from the 7,930 families recorded as of January 17, 2014. Of these number, only

P a g e | 12
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

7,759 were registered with the city’s HLMD. The claims of the other 793 families are still being
verified by the HLMD. The increase was due to late registration by affected families who
evacuated to places outside Zamboanga City and were therefore missed by the earlier registration
done by the Housing and Land Management Office.

In addition, there are 353 housing units that were not damaged by the fires but that need to be
resettled because they occupy “no return zones.”

• Housing Occupancy of Fire Victims

The average household size varies from 4.9 members in Leha-Leha to 6.2 members in
Kasanyangan.
In general, families in Kasanyangan (including Kasalamatan, Asinan and Bugguk), and Sitios
Layag-layag and Leha-Leha (in Talon-Talon) have stayed in their place of residence for about six
to seven years. Families in Rio Hondo, Mariki, Sta. Catalina, Sta. Barbara, Zone IV and ZCMST
have longer residences, ranging from 20 to 30 years.

About 81 percent of these families own their dwelling units. The rest are sharers, renters,
caretakers and boarders.

According to the validated data from the Zamboanga City HLMD, about 90 percent of the
households affected by the fires are informal settlers, that is, they do not own the land where their
houses are built. The large proportion of “informal settlers” is explained by the fact that these units
are houses on stilts, built on water or mangrove areas.

• Internally Displaced Persons

According to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), as of January 14,
2014, 63,593 persons remained displaced in Zamboanga City, including 25,531 persons in 10
evacuation centers (ECs) and four transition sites (TS), and 38,062 persons in host communities. It
should be noted that these figures vary rapidly since humanitarians efforts proceed on a daily basis.

The national and local governments, in partnership with humanitarian groups, respond to the needs
of the IDPs in the two largest evacuation centers, namely, the Enriquez Sports Complex Stadium
(Grandstand) which hosted 12,096 persons and Cawa Cawa Shoreline where 4,467 persons were
housed.

Seven schools were used as evacuation centers. About 5,253 people have been transferred to four
transition sites at the Sports Complex, Tulungatung, Taluksangay and Rio Hondo. However,
20,278 displaced people in evacuation centers still need transition shelter solutions. Planning for
temporary relocation from congested evacuation centers and schools is continuing. Two new
transition sites in barangays Talon-Talon (10 hectares) and Upper Calarian (one hectare) are being
developed.

Housing Pattern and Post-Conflict Conditions

The conflict-affected area, being previously marshland, and being along and on the coast, hosts both
land and water-based communities. Majority of communities in Sta. Barbara and Sta. Catalina,
particularly at the northern and more inland portion of the area are land-based. Properties at the
margins of the Fishpond Area of the ZCMST are still water-logged with several communities
characterized by houses on-stilts. Barangay Mariki as well as outlying sitios such as Layag-layag,
Leha-leha and Sumatra, are located just off the coast and on the waters of Basilan Strait. These areas
mainly host Badjaos with communities composed of traditional houses on-stilts.

Post-conflicts conditions are characterized by the following:

• Houses on individually-titled lots, i.e. without homeowners associations, were either partially or
totally damaged. These are mostly found in at the northern sections of barangays Sta. Barbara and
Sta. Catalina;
• Houses on individually-titled lots with organized homeowners’ association, such as Martha Drive
Homeowners Association, Inc. (HOAI), Christian-Muslim HOAI, Islamic Village HOAI, St.
Peter’s Compound HOAI and Lustre HOAI, were also partially or totally damaged. These houses
are located in areas that were developed through the Community Mortgage Program (CMP) or
were undergoing the CMP application process when the Zamboanga Crisis occurred;
• Completely fire-razed informal settlements on private lands such as in the Chiong and Villa
properties in Rio Hondo;
• Most houses in Ayer Village in Sta. Barbara were totally damaged. This is an informal settlement
that occupied government property granted to the ZCMST. Ayer Village is located along a major
waterway and several houses were observed to have been built on the waterway itself.
• All of the 172 houses in Paniran Housing Resettlement Site in barangay Sta. Catalina were totally
damaged. Paniran is a City Government housing resettlement site.
• A number of houses along Rio Hondo Road and Fishpond Road in the area covered by
Proclamation No. 472 were only partially damaged and some were not damaged at all. Most
houses-on-stilts at the interior portion of the area were totally damaged. These houses are located
on government property administered by the Southern Philippines Development Authority (SPDA)
but without formal tenurial instruments.
• Most houses in Aplaya, Brgy. Rio Hondo, which is part of Proclamation No. 69, were totally
damaged. These houses are located in an area that was granted to the City Government of
Zamboanga. However, residents thereat are also without formal tenurial instruments.
• Majority of houses in the affected coastal settlements of Rio Hondo (Bangkero, Pattah, Hongkong,
Lupa-lupa, Kabingaan, & Laud-laud,) Mariki (Sahaya Water Village) and Kasanyangan (Bugguk)
were totally damaged; most of these used to be houses-on-stilts and exposed to tidal action.
Sahaya Water Village is covered by Proclamation No. 1458 and administered by the SPDA.
Residents here, too, are without formal tenurial instruments. Bugguk, on the other hand, is an
informal settlement located on accreted land.
• Settlements in outlying coastal areas of Talon-talon (Layag-layag), Mampang (Leha-leha) and
Mariki (Sumariki/ Sumatra) were not burned but are vulnerable to tidal action. These are at the
fringes of the Mangrove Swamp Forest Reserve declared through Proclamation No. 2152 series of
1981.
• Houses on individually titled lots along Rio Hondo River were totally damaged. Structures were
observed to have occupied the public easement or have encroached into the waterway.

Economic Conditions

• Sectors of the City’s Local Economy Affected by the Conflict

The Zamboanga Crisis created a socio-economic catastrophe that resulted to loss of lives arising
from the armed conflict, loss of dwellings and infrastructure damages due to fires and bombings,
disruption of all types of economic activities, and displacement of residents from their places of
abode and sources of livelihood. In addition to the four “core” and three peripheral barangays that
were directly affected by the conflict in physical terms, nearby barangays such as Zone IV,
Mampang and Arena Blanco were also directly affected in economic terms.

The sectors that were affected, by virtue of the location of the conflict, include the fishery,
aquaculture, agricultural, tourism, processing and commercial sectors. Barangays Mariki, Rio
Hondo, Kasanyangan, Talon-Talon, Mampang and Arena Blanco are coastal barangays whose
major economic activities include fishing, aquaculture and agriculture. The cessation of fishery
activities in these barangays surely affected the city’s fishery production. In the case of tourism
where many of the attractions are located within or near the affected Urban Core of the city, tourist
arrivals surely diminished not only because of the unavailability of the attractions but also because
of the scare or negative image created by the well-publicized conflict. Secondary and tertiary
activities were also definitely affected as many processing and commercial establishments are
located in the affected areas which are characterized by high population densities and large
populations ranging from around 3,000 to 30,000 inhabitants.

In order to have an idea of how the above sectors of the local economy were affected by the
catastrophe, it would be instructive to show the status of the economic sectors before the event. In
the case of the fishery sector, the table below shows that in all the commercial, municipal and
aquaculture (agriculture and seaweeds) sub-sectors, fishery productions were already going down
from 2009 to 2012. Because of the destruction of fishing boats, fishing gears, and aquaculture
structures/facilities, productions have surely further gone down. Also, if in 2005 the average catch
for fishing effort of municipal fishermen was 220 kg./month for motorized fishing and 110
kg./month for non-motorized fishing, these outputs were surely reduced by the conflict.

Table 13. Fishery Production in Zamboanga City in 2009 and 2012 (in mt)

Aquaculture

Seaweeds 60,335 60,246
Source: Socio-Economic Profile of Zamboanga City in Figures, 2013

With regard to the tourism sector, many of the tourism-related facilities listed in the following table
have also been affected by the conflict in terms of destroyed structures or decreased patronage due
to the scare or negative effects created by the event. For sure annual tourist arrivals that showed an
increasing trend from 130,139 in 2000 to 293,446 in 2005 would have been affected in 2013.
Because of the continuing rehabilitation and reconstruction activities in the affected areas and the
images of the disastrous event still fresh in the minds of potential tourists, a decreasing trend in
tourist arrivals is expected to persist for quite some time, unless interventions are undertaken to
reverse the trend.

Going now to the secondary and tertiary sectors of the city’s economy, it may also be assumed that
a number of the industries listed in the table below would have been affected either physically or
financially by the disorder created by the conflict as they are located either inside the affected
barangays or in adjoining areas. Actually, in the 2013 Post Conflict Needs Assessment (PCNA)
report of the Office of Civil Defense, 37 manufacturing firms suffered damages and losses. In the
same 2007 report by the city government, in terms of the tertiary sector, it was reported that there
were 303 wholesale establishments and 5,500 retail establishments in the city in 2005.

For example, among the business permits issued by the city government, their distribution in the
affected barangays is as follows: one in Mariki; two in Rio Hondo; 21 in Sta. Barbara; 149 in Sta.
Catalina; 44 in Kasanyangan; and 165 in Talon-Talon. Many of the businesses affected by the
conflict are observed to be found particularly in Brgys. Sta. Catalina and Talon-Talon as these have
very large populations in 2010 of 17,955 and 30,535, respectively. The businesses include
processing establishments as well as wholesale and retail trading/service concerns, with the latter
accounting for the bulk of the economic activities. Thus, in the 2013 PCNA report, 1,604 retail and
wholesale commercial establishments suffered damages and losses.

Going now to the costs to the productive sector of the crisis, the following table shows that the
industry, trade and service sub-sectors suffered the greatest cost in terms of physical damages and
income losses amounting to P2.6B. This is followed by the cost to tourism amounting to P37.2M.
Agriculture suffered a combined cost of P28.4M. All in all, the cost suffered by the economic
sector of the City from the crisis totaled a staggering amount of P2.7B.

• Sectors of the Economies of Particular Barangays Affected by the Conflict

This section will now deal with the economic conditions obtaining in the barangays affected by the
conflict. The discussion will be divided into two subsections. First, the economic situation in the
most-affected barangays of Mariki, Rio Hondo, Sta. Barbara and Sta. Catalina will be covered.
Then the economic conditions of the less-affected peripheral barangays of Zone IV, Kasanyangan,
Talon-Talon, Mampang and Arena Blanco will be dealt with.

• Sectors of the Economies of the Four Barangays Affected Most by the Conflict

In the case of Mariki, a small barangay of around 4 has. and with a population of almost 6,000,
damage by fire was total. This has resulted to a physical and economic dislocation of the Badjao
and Samal residents. It is already an impoverished barangay where the average monthly income of
fishermen, for instance, is only P3,000.00. The means of livelihood of the residents include
fishing, seaweed farming, trading and buy and sell. Those who have undergone various levels of
schooling work in commercial establishments as nurses, clerks, factory workers, sales ladies and
salesmen, messengers, and the like. Some work in the government. Those without schooling are
engaged in the hawking of cigarettes, vegetables, fruits and fish, and in driving pedicabs, tricycles
and jeepneys. Around 120 fishermen have been recorded in the barangay and whose average catch
is 1,500 kg./yr. which is valued at around P50,000.00. In seaweed farming, 50 farmers have been
recorded and who harvest the plant every three months, producing in the process around 1,000
kg./yr. which is valued at Php25,000.00. The farming techniques used are “tie-tie”, nylon,
bamboo, plastic bundles and steel post. No secondary economic activities have been recorded in
the barangay. Tertiary activities are few and these include 19 sari-sari stores and three
bakeshops/bakeries. All of these were assumed to have been burned during the MNLF-MFR
attack. As indicated in the 2013 Post-Conflict Needs Assessment report, Mariki suffered physical
damages worth P100,000.00 and business operation losses worth P3,300.00 (see Table 17).

With regard to Rio Hondo, another coastal barangay with a bigger area of 42 has. and a population
of over 10,000, physical and economic dislocation also transpired as the whole ground area of the
barangay was also practically ravaged by fire. The means of livelihood of the residents include
government and private employment, buying and selling, and fishing. The following is the
distribution of occupations in the area: 9% in government; 10% self-employed in vending, sari-sari
store keeping and jewelry crafts; 15% in wholesaling and retailing (groceries and rice, jeepney
driving, construction, barter trading, real estate brokering and jewelry trading); 30% in private
employment as sales personnel and laborers; 3% as seamen and OFWs; and 33% as unemployed
housewives. There are fishpens/ fishponds in the barangay but these are used only for the
practicum of students from ZCMST. There are eight fishponds/fishpens for bangus, four for

shrimp and two for tilapia in the ZCMST demonstration fishpond. No manufacturing
establishments have been recorded and only four bakeries/bakeshops have been cited which are
presumed to have been burned by the conflagration that transpired. In the 2013 PCNA report, Rio
Hondo suffered damages worth P153,830.00 and losses worth P9,828.05.

Sta. Barbara, another small barangay of 13 has. and with a population of around 8,000, experienced
the same physical, social and economic displacements on account of the pervasive fire that ravaged
the area. About 16% of the barangay area was ravaged by fire. The educated sector of the
population work as nurses, office clerks, factory workers, sales ladies and messengers. The
unschooled sector of the population are engaged in the informal selling of cigarettes, vegetables,
fruits and cooked food and driving pedicabs, tricycles and jeepneys. There is one fishpond with an
area of four has. and another with an area of one ha. Several residents raise a few poultry, cattle,
carabaos and goats. There are no manufacturing concerns in the area. There are some commercial
establishments, broken down as follows: construction -1, bakeries-6, native delicacies-6, sari-sari
stores-30, motorcycle supply-1, school and office supplies-3, drugstore-1, public market-1,
talipapa-5, paper selling-1, restaurants-5 beauty parlors-5, and barber shops-2. Most of these are
presumed to have been gutted by fire. The 2013 PCNA report observed that Sta. Barbara sustained
damages amounting to Php5,863,077.02 and losses amounting to Php1,918,846.17.

Sta. Catalina, an inland barangay with an area of 63 has. and a large population of around 18,000,
suffered the most among the four most-affected barangays from massive physical and economic
dislocation brought about by the indiscriminate burning and bombing of houses and buildings. The
livelihood sources in the barangay include government employment, private-sector employment,
and hawking. Unlike the other three barangays, Sta. Catalina has a more structured and diverse
economy with representations in the primary, secondary and tertiary economic activities as shown
in the table below. Some residents engage in agri-industrial activities like poultry and livestock
raising. In the secondary sector, 28 manufacturing concerns are listed. With regard to tertiary
activities, those that stand out are the 10 bakeries, 146 sari-sari stores, five fish drying and
smoking, six groceries, five hardware and electrical supplies, five construction and concrete
products, seven drugstores and 25 restaurants/carinderias. All in all, the business establishments in
the barangay total 282. Considering also the extensive spread of the fire, a great number of these
establishments are non-existent by now. The 2013 PCNA survey reported that Sta. Catalina

suffered damages amounting to P150.05M and losses amounting to P135.76M. Among the four
most-affected barangays, this barangay suffered the most from the conflict in terms of physical
damages due to fires and explosions as well as losses in terms of stoppage of business operation.

• Sectors of the Economies of the Five Peripheral Barangays Partly Affected by the Conflict

In the case of Brgy. Zone IV, which is a very urbanized barangay with an area of 28 has. but
with a small population of around 3,000, damage by fire was minimal. However, because of
the physical and economic displacements of residents in nearby Rio Hondo, Sta. Barbara and
Sta. Catalina, the economy of this barangay could not avoid being affected by adjacent
disturbances in terms of stoppage of business operations. Internally displaced and jobless
residents sought employment and shelter or occupied space in Zone IV. Because of the very
urbanized character of the barangay, no agricultural activities were reported and people’s
livelihood sources came from public and private office employment, commercial activities,
manufacturing and vending. As shown in the table below, the notable economic activities are
the 38 manufacturing establishments, the 30 sari-sari stores, the 19 footwear stores, the 10
bazaar and gift shops, the 20 pawnshops, the 20 restaurants, the 10 insurance/securities
brokers, and the 10 beauty parlors. All in all, the business establishments total 260. However,
although not many of these establishments were burned, they were forced to stop operating
because of the close proximity of armed clashes. Thus, as shown in the table, Zone IV
suffered the greatest total loss from cessation of business operations amounting to P2.27M.
Tourism business in this barangay and the city as a whole has also been affected as the area
contains such landmarks as Fort Pilar Shrine, Old City Hall, Plaza Pershing, Plaza Rizal,
Veterans Monument, Sunken Garden, Famous Acacia Trees as well as such entities as
department stores, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, schools/colleges, shipping line offices,
banking institutions, a hospital and government offices.

With regard to Kasanyangan, a large coastal barangay of 114 has. and with a population of
over 8,000, damage by fire was minimal as only 1.27 has. were burned down. However, the
fallout on it could be palpable as it is adjacent to the nearby barangays of Mariki, Rio Hondo
and Sta. Catalina. It is not a commercial barangay as there are only two fish drying and
smoking establishments, three iron and metal craft industries and one engineering works and
machine shop. As in Mariki, the effect of the political catastrophe was on the fish farming
activities of the barangay when the fishpens/fishponds and fishing boats moored across the
points of entry of MNLF-MFR elements were destroyed. The table below shows the fish
farming data in the barangay where the total production has been significantly reduced. Thus,
as reported in the 2013 PCNA study, Kasanyangan suffered fishery damages amounting to
P130,000.00 and losses amounting to Php56,467.84 (Table 24).

Concerning Talon-Talon, another peripheral coastal barangay with a large area of 471 has. and
also a large population of more than 30,000, damage by fire was relatively small, with around
5.14 has. having been affected. However, as in Kasanyangan, the effect of the conflict in the
barangay could be seen in the lowered productivity of fishing and farming activities. In a place
where already one-third of the labor force are not gainfully employed, livelihood opportunities
of the following occupational distribution of the working labor force have been compromised
by the catastrophic event: 10% farmers, 8% government and private sector employees, 10%
laborers, and 10% others. The table below shows the economic structure of the predominantly
rural barangay of Talon-Talon where the productivity particularly of the agriculture and fishery
sector has been affected. Thus, as indicated in the 2013 PCNA report, Talon-Talon marine
fisheries and subsistence fishing sector suffered damages worth P10.39M and losses worth
P3.24M.

In the case of the peripheral barangay of Mampang, a rural barangay with a large area of 726
has. and also a large population of 22,857 in 2010, it was also affected by the crisis as many
soldiers of the MNLF-Misuari Faction Rebels landed on its shores at the start of the conflict.
Later, check/choke points were set up and military and police personnel were deployed in it.
With regard to Arena Blanco, it is a small rural barangay with an area of 52 hectares and a
population of 10,016 in 2010. It is located on the eastern side of Mampang and was also
affected by the conflict as military and police personnel were deployed and check/choke points
were also established in it. Both barangays are characterized as poor and whose local
economies are primarily agricultural (seaweed and cash crop farming, fishing, animal
husbandry) and secondarily commercial (commercial establishments and sari-sari stores).
Thus, after the 21-day conflict, the 2013 PCNA report observed that Mampang’s agricultural
sector suffered estimated damages worth P3.79M and losses amounting to P4.01M. With its
large area, Mampang suffered the greatest primary economic sector damages and losses among
all the affected barangays. With regard to Arena Blanco, it was estimated that it suffered
damages worth P1.37M and losses totaling P1.61M. More specifically, the agricultural
subsectors in the two barangays that were affected by the conflict were crops, marine fisheries
and subsistence fishing.

2.1.3 Environmental Characteristics

Air and Water Pollution

The Environment Management Bureau (EMB-Region IX) has three (3) air quality sampling stations in
Zamboanga City. Station 1 represents the commercial areas; Station 2 is for residential areas; and
Station 3 is for industrial areas. Monitoring of Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) and PM10 are done
in these three stations and samples are collected every six days for a period of 24 hours. The following
tables show the results of TSP monitoring and PM 10, respectively. Monitoring record in 2012 show
that in all stations TSP and PM 10 levels are still within the National Ambient Air Quality Guideline
Values (NAAQGV). Values above 230 microgram per cubic meter (Ug/m3) of TSP and 150 µg/N cm
of PM10 represent a poor quality of air. However, in previous years TSP limits were exceeded in all
stations. The deterioration of air quality could be attributed to the increasing number of smoke belching
vehicles, emissions from industries and open burning of wastes.

Water quality monitoring for DO, BOD and TSS levels are done in different stations along major
rivers, which included Mercedes River, Tumaga River, Patalon River and Saaz River. Monitoring is
also done in Cawa Cawa Beach. Monitoring reports of EMB-Region IX from 2009-2010 show that
BOD, DO and TSS values in Mercedes River and Tumaga River hardly met the standards for water
quality. Only the beaches in Zamboanga City, such as Alintanaqan Beach, Showrock Beach, Cawa
Cawa Beach, Caragasan Beach, Puerto Villa Beach, Aplaya Bonita, San Ramon Beach, Talisayan
Beach, Dan Mar Beach and Bolong Beach have been monitored for total coliform and fecal coliform.
In all these beaches, the levels of total coliform and fecal coliform exceeded the allowable limits. The
degradation of water quality can be caused by unregulated wastewater discharge from industrial
establishments and indiscriminate disposal of garbage from domestic and other sources directly to
rivers, creeks and coastal waters.

Hazard-Prone Areas

Zamboanga City is located near the Cotabato Trench and is vulnerable to earthquake and tsunami. The
coastal areas in the eastern part of the city are most vulnerable to tsunamis. The city was hit by a strong
tsunami on August 16, 1976, with waves ranging from five to 10 meters.

The city proper is on a low-lying coastal area and is drained by major rivers. The overflow of rivers and
creeks causes flooding during heavy rainfall. Deforestation in the uplands increases damaging runoff
to the lowland areas which also cause landslides. These flooding events are aggravated by inadequate
drainage facilities, indiscriminate disposal of garbage to water bodies and encroachment of structures in
waterways.

The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) has conducted assessment on the susceptibility of each
barangay in the city to landslide and flooding. Figure 6 shows the areas that are susceptible to
landslides and flood. None of the barangays in the conflict-affected area is included in those determined
to be susceptible to landslides. All of them are, however, highly susceptible to floods due to their
location along the coast.

Mangrove Forest

The mangrove plantations in Zamboanga City were also affected during the siege per the report of
DENR-CENRO West. These areas include the following:

• ZCMST in Barangay Rio Hondo. Two hundred eighty six (286) mangrove trees have died due to
gunfire and fire inside the school campus.
• Barangay Talon-Talon (Candido Drive). An estimated area of 0.5 hectare of two year old
mangrove trees was partially damaged because of the landing of bancas during the massive
evacuation from Sumatra, Layag-Layag and Talon-Talon.
• Mampang/ Arena Blanco area. An estimated area of 0.5 hectare of two year old mangrove
plantation was damaged. However, this area was replanted by members of the Philippine Army
during the observance of World Wetland Day last February 1, 2014.

Natural Resources and Environment Programs

The Office of the DENR-CENRO West in Zamboanga City is implementing the National Greening
Program in Barangays Mampang, Arena Blanco, Pangapuyan Island and Tigbaton Island. This includes
site preparation and planting of about 2,000 mangrove propagules per hectare from July 2013 to
November 2013. This is in coordination with the Mampang Seaweeds Planters Association. Other
programs of the agency also include the maintenance and protection of established plantations; seedling
production which is also in coordination with peoples organizations; and establishment of mangrove
plantations and nursery for production of premium and indigenous forest species and fruit trees. In the
past, the office has also undertaken the Mampang Talon-Talon Coastal Resource Management Project
which involved mangrove reforestation of about 195 hectares.

The Office of the City Environment and Natural Resources (OCENR) is responsible for the
implementation of the devolved functions, programs and projects related to environment and natural
resources, such as the enforcement of laws, rules and regulations pertaining to forest management,
protected areas and wildlife management; environmental management; and mines and geosciences
development. Among its programs is the maintenance and protection of a mangrove forest plantation
co-management areas (64.5 has.) along the coastal areas of barangays Talon-talon and Mampang, and
mangrove forest plantation (15.1 has.) under the National Greening Program (NGP) in barangays
Talon-Talon and Mariki.

2.1.4 Infrastructure

Transportation

Transportation in the Project area is a combination of land and water-based systems. On the land-side,
the area is defined by two major roads. Evangelista Street, which links the City Proper with barangay
Arena Blanco, runs at the northern part of the Project Area. The main road that goes into the Project
area is Lustre Street-Rio Hondo Road which has RROW widths ranging from 9.50m to 12.50m. Other
roads are minor, narrow, and disjointed such that vehicular access to the interior portions of the Project
area is difficult. RROW encroachments are also common cases further hampering the circulation
system. The existing road network layout is presented in Figure 7.

P a g e | 31
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

Barangay Mariki may be accessed from land through Rio Hondo Road, then onto a concrete footbridge
that leads to Lupa-Lupa. A system of boardwalks connects the houses and community facilities that are
above water. Significant sections of the boardwalk were either destroyed or damaged during the
conflict. Aside from the boardwalk, a system of waterways is used for circulation within Mariki, the
barangay being a water-based community.

The road networks in the conflict-affected areas are generally in good condition although some portions
have shown concrete spalls. They are constructed of Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) and
Flexible asphalt pavement, with portions overlaid by asphaltic concrete form a wearing course of
PCCP. Some road areas have sidewalks with widths varying from 600mm to 1200mm. Some segments
of the sidewalk cannot be fully used as portions of its width are blocked with obstructions (electrical
pole, power distribution guy wire, etc). The obstructions have to be cleared for maximization of the
pedestrian traffic.

The interior roads specifically for Sta. Barbara, Sta. Catalina and Rio-Hondo Barangays have narrow
carriageway widths and are good only for one-way vehicular traffic.

Modes of land-based public transportation include public utility jeepneys, tricycles, motorcycles and
pedicabs. Small motorized and un-motorized bancas characterize water-based transport in the Mariki
area.

Potable Water Supply and Distribution

Potable Water Supply and Distribution in the conflict area is provided by the Zamboanga City Water
District (ZCWD). Water source is a combination of wells and spring water. Storage reservoirs are
located at strategic locations within the city to deliver water to the system by gravity. To some extent,
the system is coupled with hydro-pneumatic pumps to attain the required pressure allowing the
convenient delivery of water to customers/ end-users.

No major damage to the water distribution system was observed. What was noted is the lack of fire
hydrants in the. Based on LWUA’s Technical Standards Manual (TSM), it is suggested that the
maximum spacing for fire hydrants should be 135 meters in commercial and industrial areas, and 180
meters in residential areas. The final spacing to be adopted may, however, be affected by land values,
capacity of the city’s fire department and availability of funds for the acquisition of fire equipment.

The ZCWD indicated that potable water supply and distribution in the conflict-affected area, as well as
in additional sites that may be developed due to Z3R, will be included in their rehabilitation and
reconstruction efforts. The system will be designed according also to LWUA’s TSM.

P a g e | 32
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

Power Supply and Distribution

The power supply and distribution for the whole of Zamboanga City, and in the conflict-affected area,
is through a Primary Overhead Distribution system, which is presently tapped from the existing 69KV
Mindanao Grid Transmission Lines. This is then stepped down to a 13.8KV, 3PH, 60Hz distribution
system with the end users’ nominal voltage of either 230V, 3PH, 60HZ or 230V 1PH, 60HZ through
the application of Step Down Pole Mounted Distribution Transformers.

Except for barangay Mariki, power supply and distribution in the conflict-affected area are under
normal operations. The Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative (ZAMCELCO) will also provide normal
power supply and distribution to the entire conflict-affected area including the area/s that may be
acquired by the City Government under Z3R.

Drainage Collection and Disposal

The drainage collection and disposal system within the Project area is made of lined open channels
along minor roads and underground closed reinforced concrete pipes for major thoroughfares. It is
observed in barangays Sta. Barbara and Sta. Catalina that several box culverts crossing roads and
concrete trenches without grated concrete covers are presently problematic. This is mainly due to
accumulated silt brought about by runoff water during downpours and garbage/ trash dumped to the
trenches without grate covers. Another problem of the system is the lack of maintenance such as
regular de-silting and wading of grasses along open channels (base and walls).

Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal

Sewerage system is not presently available at the city, thus domestic wastewater and its treatment is of
concern. Presently domestic waste are stored in septic tanks and once these tanks are full, effluent are
discharged directly to drainage lines. In some cases the services of a waste disposal firm are engaged
to clean septic tanks and dispose waste to the city’s sanitary landfill or dumping areas acceptable to the
city’s Environmental and Sanitation Office.

Telecommunications Services

Land-based telecommunication services are provided by the PLDT. Pillar type Telephone Terminal
Cabinets (TTCs) mounted on concrete pedestals have been observed in the conflict-affected area. An
overhead telephone distribution system is installed parallel to the power distribution line using the same
poles and at the lower cross arms of the distribution lines.

2.2 Housing Reconstruction and Resettlement Sites

Ten housing reconstruction sites, located at the “core” area, were identified. Houses will be re-
constructed and provided with improved living conditions such as appropriate potable water, drainage
and other utilities, standard roads and community facilities. Off-site housing resettlement area were
also identified. Two of these, Evangelista and Tiao Him Properties, are just at the periphery of the
“core” area. Two other sites, located in Brgys. Tulungatung and Taluksangay, are located farther off.
The Tulungatung site is an NHA project already available for re-settlement prior to the conflict and
where residents in the conflict-affected area can move into on a voluntary basis. On the other hand,
the Taluksangay site was acceptable to the beneficiaries and this will be developed to host houses on
stilts.

2.3 Public Safety and Security

The Project area is being secured by the Philippine National Police and Task Force Zamboanga. The
latter is a special unit of the Armed Forces of the Philippines composed of the Philippine Army and
Philippine Marine Corps.

Task Force Zamboanga maintains military checkpoints located at various strategic locations and an
outpost at the tip of Paniran Resettlement Site and at Sitio Sumatra in Brgy. Talon-talon. As needed,
Task Force Zamboanga may be augmented by the Philippine Army’s Special Forces, Philippine Air
Force’s 3rd Air Division and the Philippine Navy’s Naval Forces Western Mindanao. Further, the PNP
Maritime Group – 901st Maritime Police Station – Zamboanga City maintains a temporary station
beside barangay hall of Rio Hondo per the request of the City Mayor after the Zamboanga siege.

City Government of Zamboanga

Several proposals from various agencies were made in order to further enhance security and safety in
the Project area and that in the whole city as well. These include the following:

Western Mindanao Command (WESMINCOM)

• WESMINCOM proposed that the City Mayor create a “special body or a composite team”
comprising all concerned agencies, “to work hand-in-hand with the City Government in order to
provide intense security to the City.”

Naval Forces Western Mindanao (NAVFORWEM)

• A permanent Marine Brigade Headquarters for the Naval Forces Western Mindanao
(NAVFORWEM) in Brgy. Rio Hondo and Mariki was proposed on an approximately three hectare
area covering the MINDEVA property and COSAC (where the barangay hall is located) in
Barangay Rio Hondo and Sitio Lupa-Lupa in Barangay Mariki. The barangay hall may have to be
relocated to an area at the edge of COSAC to allow for a more rational layout of civilian and
military facilities. Bisected by the Rio Hondo River, the NAVFORWEM cited the site’s strategic
value as it is near the Zamboanga City Hall and other government establishments and was observed
to be the entry point of illegal trade in the city.

• A Naval Detachment for Fleet Operations for the NAVFORWEM was proposed on an
approximately one hectare area in Sitio Sumatra in Barangay Talon-Talon. Located at the mouth
of the Mariqui River, the site’s strategic value is that it can guard against hostile forces as this was
used by the MNLF MP as their entry point and staging area during the crisis. This area was also
reported to be another entry point of smuggled goods.

• The above facilities are proposed to be provided with sheltered areas to protect special equipment,
billeting facilities as well as power and water supply systems. NAVFORWEM further proposed
that security and safety facilities of other agencies be located contiguously in these strategic area
for better coordination and to facilitate coordinated reaction during emergencies.

Task Force Zamboanga

• Task Force Zamboanga proposed that the present joint PNP/ Army Outpost at the tip of Paniran
Resettlement Site be made permanent. Located at the junction of Rio Hondo River and waterway
going into Barangay Sta. Catalina, this is a strategic site to guard against the entry of hostile forces
into the interior portions of the conflict-affected area.

PNP Maritime Group

• The PNP Maritime Group proposed that its temporary station beside the barangay hall of Rio
Hondo be made permanent. For this, the Maritime Group requested that a 1,000 sqm area in
COSAC where this temporary station is located be donated to the PNP. The agency requested for
the City Government’s assistance in making representations to the SPDA, who has administrative
rights over the area. Located beside the proposed Marine Brigade Headquarters of
NAVFORWEM, the site’s strategic importance to the PNP is that it provides “easy access to the
sea for rapid deployment of Police Fast Boats” to guard against the entry of “criminals, illegal
traders, drug couriers and other lawless elements.”

City Government of Zamboanga

Philippine Coast Guard

• The Philippine Coast Guard proposed the construction of a base in Barangay Rio Hondo either at
COSAC or MINDEVA property. The proposed Coast Guard Base will have administrative offices,
billeting quarters, maritime incident evacuation shed/ multi-purpose hall, and a pier, among others.

Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) Committee on Peace and Order

• The SP is studying the need to pass an Ordinance to regulate the construction and operation of
finger and private wharves in the City. This is in consideration of reports that these wharves are
being used for illegal drug and human trafficking and that these should not be opened anymore for
commercial and maritime activities.
• The SP suggested that helipads should be located in two or three strategic sites in or near the
conflict-affected area to be used for rescue and whatever extraction operations.
• The SP further suggested the installation of a warning system “for use during security situations or
storm surge and tsunami.”

Department of Social Welfare and Development

The Department envisions a society where the poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged are empowered for
an improved quality of life. It aims to develop, implement and coordinate social protection and poverty
reduction solutions for and with the poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged.

Latest report (Report 147) on Disaster Response Operations revealed that P299, 344,723.84 were spent
for: food assistance (P264,093,822); non-food assistance such as blankets, hygiene kits, kitchen wares,
mosquito nets, trapal, plastic amts, and laundry soaps (P7,696,558.50); financial assistance
(P2,229,210) and cash for work (P3,831,300.00); and construction of 41 units of bunkhouses
(P21,511,833.36).

The human resources who served the needs of the IDPs in the ECs and TCs totaled to 243 coming from
the different regional offices of the department (Regions 9, 10, 12, NCR) and Central Office.

Cluster Approach

The cluster approach was adopted by the LGU of Zamboanga City as the basis of the humanitarian
coordination structure. The city government activated committees responsible for Camp Coordination
and Camp Management (CCCM), Protection (Child Protection and Gender-based Violence), Health
(including Nutrition and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Reproductive and Mental Health and
Psychosocial Support), Early Recovery, Education, Emergency Shelter, Food Security and Agriculture,
Livelihood, and Logistics.

The realization of the “Build Back Better” scheme in Z3R will strongly be reliant on the financial and
human resources, coordination and collaboration of the inter-cluster and inter-agency committees.
After four months of working together to rebuild the lives of the IDPs, the following are the
accomplishment of the clusters, to wit:

• Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster

The objective of CCCM is to contribute to the efforts of the Government of the Philippines and its
humanitarian partners to increase the resilience of currently displaced vulnerable populations in the
conflict-affected communities with life-saving CCM support, shelter and non-food items
assistance.

The DSWD and the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) and the International
Organization for Migration (IOM) are the agencies assigned to manage the evacuation centers and
the transitory sites. The LGU, in coordination with the DPWH, identifies the transitory sites where
the IDPs will be temporary sheltered while the permanent abodes will be constructed.

The transitory site in Brgy. Taluksangay is jointly implemented by DSWD, Habitat for Humanity
and the LGU. The one in Brgy. Tulungatung, on the other hand, is jointly implemented by DSWD,
IOM, DPWH (site development), Philippine Army’s 52nd Engineering Brigade and the LGU. The
NHA took charge of site preparation and development. Other transitory sites are located at the Rio
Hondo Elementary School Bunkhouses and JFEMSC Bunkhouses (254 with 2,293). The new
transitory site being developed is the Philippine Tuberculosis Society Inc. (PTSI), a one hectare lot
in Barangay Upper Calarian. The Philippine Army contingents help in the construction of
bunkhouses.

• Protection Cluster

This was established by the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) through Circular No.
5 Series of May 10, 2007 which is part of a global response aimed at providing more timely and
consistent help to the IDPs and others affected by emergencies and disasters. In the Philippines, it
has over 100 participating agencies including those from the government, state, civil society,
national and international NGOS and agencies as well as the United Nations specifically the United
Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNCHR).

This cluster aims to protect the rights of people affected by armed conflict by ensuring their active
participation in planning and carrying out recovery, return, relocation and/or resettlement activities.
It has two sub-clusters, namely, Child Protection (CP) and Gender-based Violence (GbV). These
are meant to ensure the protection, promotion and respect for the human rights and dignity of IDPs
including prevention and response to all forms of abuse, exploitation and violence against children
and women.

Protection assessment were issued from the first day of the crisis with the support of Protection
Cluster members. In collaboration with the ARMM regional government and the Zamboanga City
authorities, protection kits were provided to vulnerable displaced families. Monitoring on the
protection is conducted on a regular basis in partnership with the Commission on Human Rights
(CHR) and the ARMM Regional Human Rights Commission (RHRC). Over the next four months,
the following protection activities were done and continuously undertaken by the Protection
Cluster members:

1. Monitor the conditions of the IDPs and ensure their protection against issues arising from
displacement, property rights, equitable distribution of assistance, prevention of trafficking and
other forms of Gender- based Violence
2. Established and functionalized a survivor-centered, multi-sectoral GbV referral system.
3. Established functional Women-friendly spaces and a Violence Against Women Desk in
affected communities to enhance GbV referral linkages between communities and the City
Government
4. On safety and security, local policing forces (Tanods) were organized at the grandstand when
regular police officers are not available for night duty. In addition, security persons were
organized by the Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) in Cawa-cawa and IOM also
formed Local Social Protection Teams at different ECs as police personnel were concentrated
in JFEMSC.
5. On Civil Documentation, IDPs whose houses were burned during the siege lost important
documents including birth certificates. The Protection Cluster coordinated with the City Civil
Registry in the provision of free issuance of birth certificates to IDPs who can present fire
incident certificates from the Bureau of Fire.
6. On Child Protection, CHR-RHRC is working with NCMF and Balay Rehabilitation Center to
follow-up CPWG/CHR to work on the “motion of dismissal “of a child who remains detained
for a rebellion case. Other cases of child protection is discussed with UNICEF as they have
established child friendly spaces in the ECs.
7. On Gender-Based violence, it was reported that the Women and Children Protection Desk
(WCPD) recorded 71 cases of GbV cases, majority of which are between intimated partners.
Other reported protection-related issues include lack of toilet and private bathing space for
women/girls, and prostitution at the grandstand and Cawa cawa shoreline with risk of human
trafficking. Support services to GbV survivors and women and men engaged in prostitution

are mainly medical with limited psycho social services. The Protection Cluster coordinated
with WAS/UNFPA and WCPD for the provision of medical, psychosocial and other necessary
support.

• Education Cluster

The Education Cluster is ensuring continued quality education for all children affected by the
armed conflict. This is by improving access to quality Early Childhood Care and Development
(ECCD) and basic or alternative education for boys and girls affected by emergencies. It also aims
to improve capacities of education stakeholders to effectively respond to emergency education
needs of children; and establish protective mechanisms in learning institutions especially for
children and youth during emergencies.

The partner agencies includes Community and Family Services International (CFSI), Save the
Children International, Balay Rehabilitation center, WMSU, DepEd and DSWD

Latest report (March 10,2014) revealed that four elementary schools with 218 teachers and a total
enrolment of 9,269 students are in the conflict zone along with seven day care centers serving 390
young children aged from three to five years old.

The following actions were reported by the cluster:

1. The attendance of learners from the most affected barangays, namely Mariki, Sta. Barbara and
Rio Hondo, had improved. About 92% of learners in Sta. Barbara, 53% in Rio Hondo and 49%
at the Mariki Elementary School, either went back the schools where they were enrolled in or
transferred to other nearby schools.
2. As of March 10, 2014, the tracking of the whereabouts and status of all learners is 100 percent
in Mariki, 94% in Sta. Barbara, and 91% in Rio Hondo. The data show that 437 of the 5113
learners enrolled before the crisis were still unaccounted.
3. Learning tents and Child Friendly Spaces were provided by the United Nations Children’s
Fund (UNICEF) in partnership with Community Family Services International (CFSI) and
WMSU-CSWCD at the ECs and TCs.
4. Training of 25 teachers on Disaster Reduction and Response Management were conducted.

Emergency Livelihood/ OCVET

The Food Security and Agriculture Cluster, with the DSWD and UN World Food Program (WFP) as
lead agencies, aims to provide life-saving and early recovery assistance to the conflict affected people.
Displaced people have the tendency to be fully dependent on food assistance provided primarily by the
government. With houses, household and livelihood assets completely destroyed in the worst affected
areas, it is likely that recovery from the trauma of this magnitude will take some time. Below are
excerpts from the report of the Emergency Livelihood Cluster:

• Coordinated/assisted UN WFP in the delivery of 49 and 54 bags of rice to IDPs in Mampang and
Talon-Talon, respectively, under the Work for Food Program. The issue is that the UN-WFP’s
Food for Work Program covered only up to the month of February 2014.
• Facilitated/assisted IDPs in getting financial assistance from DOLE for livelihood projects.
Liaison officers concerned to assist and help expedite preparation of documentary requirements to
be submitted to DOLE.

• Assisting Livestock and Poultry Raisers Association in the preparation of documents required for
registration and financial assistance from DOLE.
• Conducted Farmers’ Class at Tulungatung Temporary Shelter attended by 59 IDPs.
• Monitored the implementation of Trichantera gigantea nursery projects in Mampang and Talon-
Talon.

Health Cluster

The principal objective is to prevent excessive morbidity and mortality among affected population and
to meet their urgent and basic health needs. Specifically, the cluster seeks to increase the access of the
displaced population to basic primary emergency curative and preventative health care, and mental
care. The partner agencies are DOH, CHO, UN Population Fund, and WHO.

The Health Cluster is composed of the WASH, Nutrition, Psychosocial and Reproductive Health sub-
clusters. The WASH sub-cluster has three objectives:

• To ensure WASH sub-cluster coordination support at the Zamboanga level to respond to the new
emergency.
• To improve WASH services in evacuation centers including temporary learning spaces and child
friendly spaces.
• To provide an environment for practicing proper hygiene behavior for women and children.

As reported by the Health Cluster (May 11, 2014), the consultations totaled 241 and the major causes
of morbidity are acute respiratory infection, fever, skin diseases and acute watery diarrhea. The overall
number of deaths since the beginning of the crisis was 95. There are three possible causes of death in
the evacuation centers (according to the City Health Officer): congestion, dirty environment and poor
personal hygiene.

Services provided as reported: continuous distribution of medicines and supplies to health facilities
especially Barangay Health Stations; free hospital services from ZCMC and CHO (OPD and
admission) is still ongoing; Philippine Red Cross Emergency Unit operating 24/7 at JFEMSC and
Additional health workers placed in ECs and transitory sites (MDs, NDPs).

2.5 Post-Conflict Needs Assessment

Immediately after the conflict, a Post-Conflict Needs Assessment (PCNA) was conducted by a
composite group from various government agencies and non-government organizations. Led by the
Office of Civil Defense (OCD) – Region IX and the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (RDRRMC) – Region IX, the PCNA sought to establish baseline information on
what are needed, in monetary terms, to facilitate the city’s reconstruction and recovery.

The total cost needed for reconstruction and recovery was estimated to be over P2.5 Billion as indicated
in the PCNA’s Final Report. The cost needed to bring infrastructure back to pre-conflict conditions
was estimated at over P714 Million, as shown in the following table:

Million
• Agricultural activities such as crops and fisheries: P21 Million
• Cultural facilities such as mosques, churches and madrasahs: P35 Million

2.6 Government Shelter Policies

The Policy Framework for the resettlement and housing of the affected families in the conflict-affected
area is well founded and emanates directly from the Social Justice provisions of the 1987 Philippine
Constitution and its enabling law, the Urban Development and Housing Act (UDHA) of 1992. The
UDHA mandates the Government, through its instrumentalities, the NHA and the LGUs, to provide for
a resettlement program for informal settlers and other poor families affected by government projects.

The UDHA also provides that resettlement is to be done following sound and sustainable urban
development planning principles that takes into consideration the need for adequate infrastructures such
as road and drainage, the need for a healthy environment, social services and other concerns that will
lead to better quality of living conditions and create a better economic environment.

Hence, while the government is duty bound to provide resettlement, the resettlement program must be
subject to the conditions, standards and limits set by the various laws related to urban development.
Among the laws are:

1. The Land Use and Zoning Ordinances of LGUs;


2. Environmental Laws, including those that classify certain areas as environment protection,
preservation or conservation areas;
3. Laws and Ordinances that set standards on subdivisions development and building constructions.

Notwithstanding the dictates of the laws, special considerations are given to the time honored cultural
traditions and way of life of our cultural minorities such as the Tausugs and the Badjaos.

Finally, the housing and resettlement policy must be consistent with the executive decisions of
President Aquino to build lack a better Zamboanga City.

2.7 Legal Considerations

2.7.1 Status of land occupied by affected families

Key legal considerations revolve around the status of the “land” occupied by the affected families prior
to the Zamboanga Crisis. These lands may be classified as follows:

Inalienable public lands

These include settlements located in or at the edge of the mangrove forest such as Layag-layag, Leha-
leha and Sumatra. The mangrove forest, in particular, is part of the National Integrated Protected Areas
System (NIPAS) by virtue of Proclamation No. 2152 series of 1981 which declared it as a Mangrove
Swamp Forest Reserve. The limitations imposed by the NIPAS Act should be considered in mapping
out Z3R strategies.

The Bugguk settlement as well as the planned settlement in Taluksangay are located on foreshore land.
Developments thereat should be in accordance with DENR-DAO 2000-24 Revised Rules and
Regulations Governing the Management and Administration of Foreshore Lands.

Public lands proclaimed in favor of other government institutions

These include the following:

• Settlements, such as Aplaya and COSAC, that are located in areas which were reserved for
government center purposes of the City of Zamboanga by virtue of Proclamation No. 69 series of
1954.
• The settlement in Ayer Village which is located in an area reserved for the use of the ZCMST by
virtue of Proclamation No. 559 series of 1959.
• These may be considered informal settlements since residents do not have formal tenurial
instruments.

Public lands proclaimed for cultural minorities

• Settlement area in Rio Hondo that was designated for “Muslim community site purposes” by virtue
of Proclamation No. 472 series of 1965. This is administered by the SPDA.
• Settlement in Mariki Village (also known as Sahaya Water Village) that was designated “as a
Settlement Area in the name of the Filipino Muslim Community” by virtue of Proclamation No.
1458 series of 1975. This settlement is likewise administered by the SPDA.
• Residents in these settlements also do not have formal tenurial instruments.

Private properties

These include families that actually own the land that they occupy as well as those that occupy land
with or without the permission of the owners. These comprise properties that have organized HOAs
such as Lustre, Martha Drive, and others as well as those without organized HOAs.

There are also informal settler families on private lands such as those at the Chiong and Villa Properties
in Sta. Barbara. It was, however, reported some of these families were allowed to reside in these lands
being workers of the landowners.

Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

2.7.2 Waterway and Waterway Easements

The water channel bisecting barangays Rio Hondo and Sta. Catalina is a major waterway that drains the
Project area and the outlying barangays. It is, however, covered by a titled property and there are
reports that segments are already being filled-in by its owner. Both sides of the waterway area also
titled to several owners and it was observed that encroachments to the waterway easement as well as to
the waterway itself have already occurred. Another case of encroachment is Ayer Village where
houses have already blocked significant portions of the waterway.

The provisions of Presidential Decree 1067 or the Water Code of the Philippines should be considered
in Z3R formulation with regards to waterway preservation.

2.8 Key Issues

The identification of the Key Issues helped focus the recommendation of strategies for Z3R. These
issues are presented sectorally in the following sub-sections.

2.8.1 Housing

Given the number of affected families, classified by barangay, occupancy status and the status of the
land they occupy, the following issues on housing must be addressed:

• Will the government allow the affected families to resettle to their original place of origin?

- Those occupying in alienable public “lands” such as mangrove forests?


- Those occupying government properties?
- Those occupying private titled properties with or without permission of the owners?
- Those families who actual owns the land they occupy.

• What type of housing or resettlement assistance must government extend to these families?
• Which government agency must undertake the resettlement program?
• Will the resettlement assistance program be a grant to the families or must the cost be recovered
through a financing plan to be paid back by the affected families?

Attention was likewise given to the following housing issues in the course of developing the physical
development plan:

• Improvement of the overall environment considering that pre-conflict conditions was characterized
by low-quality housing (including informal settlements), overly high densities, poor sanitation, lack
of useable open spaces, blocking of water ways, flooding, exposure to environmental and geo-
hazards, etc., all of which led to a generally low-grade urban environment;
• Prioritize on-site rehabilitation and reconstruction, and minimize relocation distance in case off-site
resettlement will be necessary;
• Consideration of the desire of Badjao residents for their settlements to be located on or near the
sea;

P a g e | 52
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

• Provision of appropriate social service facilities and amenities such as places of worship, schools,
barangay centers, community parks, etc.;
• Strategies to revive the economic conditions of communities within the conflict-affected area and
to ensure the sustainability of economy activities in resettlement sites;
• Improvement of public safety and security to ensure peace in the community as well as prevent a
repeat of the armed conflict; and
• Acceptability of the enhanced presence of police and military forces as there are perceptions that
this may hamper socio-economic activities (fishing and agar-agar farming) as well as religious
activities like during the month of Ramadan where Muslims pray longer at night.

2.8.2 Socio-economic

Following are the key social and economic issues:

Social Issues

• The plan has to consider the needs and preferences of the socio-cultural groupings, especially in
relation to housing types and community infrastructure. The social acceptability of resettlement as
well as of the proposed projects is critical to the implementation of the plan.
• Socio-cultural infrastructure and services (health center, daycare center, schools, mosques,
madrasahs) must be accessible to all groups.
• The source of livelihood or income must be accessible and appropriate to the skills and knowledge
of the work force.
• In terms of protective services, the security of the settlements is critical. The challenge is to
encourage the participation of the community in keeping peace and order in their cluster.
• Health is affected by water supply and sanitation. Therefore, there is a need to improve WASH
services in the community clusters.
• The rehabilitation plan should also consider the representation of vulnerable groups in development
planning and implementation. These groups include the elderly, out of school youth, women,
PWD, and ethnic groups.

Economic Issues

• Issues Related to Primary Economic Activities

- Rehabilitation of the fishing, aquacultural and agricultural sources of livelihood in Brgys.


Mariki, Rio Hondo, Kasanyangan, Talon-Talon, Mampang and Arena Blanco. Many fishing
boats, fishing gears, seaweed farms/stilt dryers, and fishpens/fishponds were destroyed in the
coastal barangays and need to be resupplied, rehabilitated and reconstructed. Temporary crops
like corn, eggplant, ampalaya, squash and leafy vegetables were also destroyed and resulted to
income loss which, therefore, needs to be recovered.
- Low income levels and unemployment rates are high after the conflict. Incomes average only
P3,000 a month and, in a number of cases, unemployment could go up to as high as one-third
of the labor force. The conflict-affected barangays typify the image of a sub-region that is
removed from the “inclusive growth” that the present government is promoting for the whole
country.

P a g e | 53
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

- Limited sources of livelihood – There is a need to introduce or create more sources of


livelihood from the sea and soil other than the traditional occupations practiced particularly by
coastal populations. There is a need to introduce new products as well as processing of local
raw materials.
- Lack of public and private support in terms of providing better seeds, new plant varieties,
breeders for dispersal of livestock, trainings on new production technologies for farmers and
fisherfolks, and low-interest loans to jump-start production in the agriculture-fishery sub-sector

• Issues Related to Secondary Economic Activities

- Weak industrial sector as there is no significant processing of raw materials like fish,
crustaceans, seaweeds, animal meat, fruits and vegetables in the conflict-affected barangays
- Lack of information and incentives on viable industrial ventures that can be set up in the
conflict-affected barangays

• Issues Related to Tertiary Economic Activities

- Proliferation of low-remuneration means of livelihood like pedicab/ tricycle/ jeepney driving,


miscellaneous item hawking, menial employment in government and private sector, and casual
employment. A large proportion of the labor force belong to the informal sector whose
incomes need to be augmented and whose status need to be formalized for the City government
to be able to realize tax revenues from them.
- Limited engagement in high-income entrepreneurial activities that should help re-establish the
city’s traditional image as the trading and shopping center of the southern Philippines
- Revival of the city’s tarnished image as an attractive and safe destination for tourists. There is
a need to sustain the increasing momentum of tourist arrivals that numbered 130,137 in
2000,293,446 in 2005 and projected to reach 586,000 in 2015.
- Weak partnership between the LGU and private sector in pursuing new commercial ventures
that should lessen the burden on City government finances which have even become less
sufficient during the current period of recovery and reconstruction.

2.8.3 Environment

Key issues related the environment include the following:


• Protection of communities against flooding (including flash floods and those due to sea level rise),
the areas being located on a floodplain and most parts were either marshlands, logponds, fishponds
or mangrove areas
• Forest denudation in the higher elevations and slopes north of the affected area that contributes to
flooding in the flood plains.
• Protection of communities against tidal action, the area being located in the tsunami-and storm
surge prone Moro Gulf area
• Protection and rehabilitation of mangrove plantations that were affected by the siege.
• Prevention of encroachments on waterways, which aggravate flooding conditions.
• Prevention of water pollution, particularly in settlements located on swamps, marshes, and the
coastal waters

P a g e | 54
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

• Prevention of further loss of mangrove areas due to encroachment of settlements


• Improvement of air quality.

2.8.4 Public Infrastructure

Key issues relative to Public Infrastructure include the following:

• To ensure safe and efficient road infrastructure networks and avoid discontinuous roadnetworks,
the area being characterized by congested and disjointed roads;
• To be conceptually planned in harmony with facilities (drainage, sewerage, electrical power, water)
and other civil facilities;
• To secure normal uninterrupted traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) operation;
• To minimize adverse environmental influence on surroundings (water, wastewater, air and noise
pollution) during actual construction works;
• To utilize local materials and products, wherever practical and applicable;
• To meet local meteorological conditions (wind, rainfall, temperature, etc.) and geological
conditions; and
• To simplify construction methods for lesser infrastructure facilities cost and reduce maintenance.

3 MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN

3.1 Master Layout Plan

3.1.1 Planning and Design Principles

An integrated master plan for the “core” and “peripheral” areas in order to meet the Project objectives.
The preparation of the Master Layout Plan for these areas was guided by the following planning and
design principles:

• Appropriate land use allocation scheme that allows for the convenient location of residential,
commercial, employment, livelihood, community service and amenities areas;
• Improved quality of housing and support facilities such as places of worship, schools, health
centers, day care centers, barangay centers, etc;
• Improved circulation network layout to facilitate access throughout the Project area;
• Improved public utilities such as drainage, sanitation, potable water, electricity, etc;
• Enhanced urban environment with pedestrian-friendly circulation network, tree parks, preserved
mangroves, clean waters, etc;
• Disaster-resilient that minimizes risks due to flooding, tidal action, earthquakes and other hazards;
• Appropriate provisions for public security and safety to include police facilities and evacuation
centers;
• Enhanced livelihood opportunities for the IDPs; and
• Cultural and religious sensitivity, i.e. respecting and considering the aspirations and preferences of
indigenous and religious groups through a participatory approach.

3.1.2 Master Layout Plan

The Master Layout Plan is presented in Figure 8 and its components are briefly described in the
following sub-sections.

P a g e | 56
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

Shelter

Z3R is centered on the redevelopment of existing and the development of new housing sites and
priority was given to on-site rehabilitation and reconstruction. Shelter planning was done in an
integrated manner, with housing sites supported by appropriate community facilities and amenities as
well as public infrastructure.

The initial target was to provide shelter assistance to 7,248 families and which was the basis of the
budget request made in December 2013. . This has been revised upwards to 7,759 families (41,958
individuals) as agreed by the DPWH, City Government and various stakeholders.

Assistance shall be in the following forms:

• Housing Materials Assistance (HOMA)

Those that will choose not to avail of the housing construction assistance shall, upon pre-
qualification of the city government, be provided with HOMA which is an entitlement to a
maximum of P30,000 worth of construction materials. The City government estimated that those
who will avail of HOMA will number to about 1,661 families each of whom will reconstruct their
houses at their original locations.

• Housing Construction

New one and two-storey houses shall be provided for inland housing sites. This considers the soft-
soil conditions in the Project area and the social unacceptability of medium-rise housing. This
approach applies to housing reconstruction areas covered by existing Community Mortgage
Programs (such as sites of the Martha Drive Homeowner’s Association, Christian-Muslim Urban
Poor Association, Inc., etc.), those covered by various Presidential Proclamations/ Decrees (PP 559
- Ayer Village, PD 472 – Rio Hondo Resettlement Site, and PP 69 - Aplaya Compound), the City
Government-initiated Paniran Resettlement Site, and in the newly acquired 9,000 square meter
Evangelista Property in Brgy. Santa Catalina.

Recognition was also given to the traditional settlement patterns of Indigenous Peoples who live in
houses on-stilts on the coastal areas. A great portion of these settlements will be reconstructed and
shall be protected by mangrove reforestation to serve as buffer against tidal action. Thus, “urban
limits” shall be established in the coastal settlements of Rio Hondo and Mariki. This will be
defined by a boardwalk that provides a distinct demarcation line between the settlement and the
mangrove forest. This boardwalk will also serve as an access route of the coastal community and
can be used for eco-tourism purposes as well.

Coastal residents who will be displaced by the mangrove forest buffer, as well as those who reside
further off-shore, shall be moved to an approximately 39 hectare resettlement site in Brgy.
Kasanyangan, no more than a kilometer away from their original locations. Used before as a
fishpond, this new site will approximate the residents’ previous water-oriented community and is
more protected from tidal action since it is buffered by a mangrove forest.

The estimated demand for new housing ranges from 5,587 to 6,098 units after deducting the
estimated number of families who will choose to avail of HOMA. This demand can be

accommodated in the identified housing sites which have an estimated aggregate capacity to host

The individual conceptual site development plans are presented in Figures 9 to 22 while typical
housing designs are presented in Figure 23.

The final site development plans prepared by NHA in consultation with the stakeholders are
presented in Annex 2.

As social support to the housing developments, community facilities will be out up to provide for
services which will meet the present and future social-physical needs of the community. The
facilities – which shall include schools, madrazas, daycare centers, and religious centers such as
mosques – will create an environment conducive social interaction and cohabitation. Figures 24-26
are proposed designs for community facilities in the site.

Land Acquisition

This component includes the acquisition of new housing sites such as the approximately 9,000
square meter Evangelista Property (on-site housing construction) and the approximately 39
hectare Tiao Him Property (off-site housing construction).

It also includes provisions to acquire additional road rights-of-way to widen certain major
roads and to connect interior roads to major ones. It also includes provisions for drainage
rights-of-way (estero type, 4 meters wide) acquisition. The estimated area that may have to be
acquired for road and drainage rights-of-way is about 6.84 hectares.

Land Development

This component includes items involving actual construction that includes road widening and
extension, fencing of the fishpond of the College of Fisheries to prevent settlement encroachment, and
the restoration of the College of Fisheries’ Flood Gate.

It also includes provisions to clear the conflict-affected area’s waterways and the reforestation of the
mangrove area.

Security Facilities

This component comprises the development of facilities to support the security of Zamboanga City. It
includes the acquisition of the approximately one hectare MINDEVA Property in Barangay Rio Hondo
for development as a facility for the Philippine Navy’s Fleet and Marine Units that will augment local
security forces. Also included are the following:

• Construction of facilities for the Philippine Coast Guard and PNP Maritime Group in area known
as COSAC in Barangay Rio Hondo
• Construction of an Army Outpost at the waterway’s entry at the tip of Paniran Resettlement Site in
Barangay Rio Hondo; and
• Construction of joint Forward Operating Base and Detachment Facilities for the Philippine Navy,
Army and Coast Guard in Sitio Sumatra, Barangay Mariki.

The conceptual plan for the proposed Navy facility in MINDEVA remains to be discussed with the
Philippine Navy. Initial plans for the COSAC area, Paniran Outpost and Sumatra Forward Base are
presented in Figures 27 to 29.

Z3R also includes the Infrastructure component under the December 2, 2013 Post Conflict Needs
Assessment Report of the Office of Civil Defense Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Council Region IX. This component includes the following:

• Infrastructure

To cover costs for the repair/ reconstruction of various roads, bridges, & drainage facilities;
power; telecom; education buildings; water; health centers; government buildings

• Small and Medium Enterprises

To cover costs for the repair/ reconstruction of various structures, i.e. business establishments;
procurement and repair/ reconditioning of various, equipment, machineries; access to credit
financing; shared service facilities (equipment and machinery); entrepreneurial and basic skills
training.

• Agriculture

To cover costs for the replacement of damaged facilities such as seaweed farm structures, dryers
and fishing boats; distribution of farm production inputs; animal dispersal for swine and goats.

• Culture

To cover costs for the repair of mosques, madrasahs and churches.

3.2 Infrastructure Rehabilitation Plan

3.2.1 Circulation Network

A proposed circulation network is made integral to the MDP. The idea is to facilitate through access
within the Project area thereby alleviating traffic choke points and minimizing dead-end streets. The
MDP has considered widening of the existing carriageways (expropriating some privately owned lots),
provide loop roads to ease vehicular traffic flow and install / construct sidewalk to include PWD ramp.
The network of interior roads shall also be improved and brought to minimum Batas Pambansa 220
socialized housing standards. The proposed Master Road Layout Plan is presented as Figure 30 while
the layout plan for the Interior Roads is presented in Figure 31.

Further to coming up with the circulation network is to incorporate the concept of humanitarian
logistics in the CMP and eventually in the development plan of the city so as to address efficient flow
of relief goods, works and people.

Following are highlights of the recommendations to improve the area’s circulation network:

• The major trunk road in the “core” area is Lustre Street- Rio Hondo Road. The segment from
Evangelista Street to Legionnaire Street should be widened from the current 8m RROW to 12m
RROW. This will allow for broader vehicle lanes and the installation of pedestrian sidewalks and
planting strips.
• The RROW of the segment of Lustre Street-Rio Hondo Road from Legionnaire Street to the Rio
Hondo Bridge should be cleared of encroaching structures. The pedestrian sidewalk should be
improved in terms of paving materials and introduction of planting strips.
• Lustre Street-Rio Hondo Road should be extended along the coastline border of Proclamation No.
472 and linked with the current alignment of Fishpond Road. This should be provided with a 5-
meter wide promenade along the proposed sea wall.
• Pedestrian sidewalks and planting strips should be introduced along the present stretch of Martha
Drive. This road should be extended towards Fishpond Road.
• Fishpond Road should be widened to 10m RROW and extended to complete the loop along the
Fishpond Area.
• Two connections across the waterway in Rio Hondo should be introduced to link the eastern and
western portions of Rio Hondo.
• The boardwalk leading to Sahaya Water Village shall be restored and a parallel boardwalk defining
the coastal community’s border shall be built.

Images showing the proposed road improvement packages are presented in Figures 32 to 38.

3.2.2 Potable Water Supply and Distribution

The water supply system will be upgraded and rehabilitated for service efficiency. As part of the
upgrading of the water supply system, water reservoirs will be constructed at designated areas and
consequently fire hydrants at distances compliant to the Fire Code.

Water Quality

Water concessionaires of the ZCWD are dependent on spring and groundwater sources for its water
supply. Water quality is regularly tested for bacteriological analysis, for fecal coliform organisms
specifically for the spring sources.

Water Supply

Zamboanga City maintains its own water system and services through the Zamboanga City Water
District (ZCWD). The water system currently utilizes spring and deepwell treated as source.

Water demand factors for ZCWD is based on LWUA demand factors which varies for 1.20 to 1.50 for
the maximum day and from 1.50 to 2.00 for the peak hours of the average daily demand. The average
daily demand be based on the following schedules:

Type of Area Maximum Day Peak Hour

Rural or Residential 1.20 1.50

Urban or Poblacion 1.30 1.75

Commercial or Residential 1.50 2.00

The total projected water demand for the community in the conflict area has to be distributed
throughout the planned improvement of proposed water pipeline grid system. An estimate of water
consumption for the community to be serviced has to be done to include residential and non-residential
(commercial, light and heavy industry, etc.) water consumption plus unaccounted-for water. Land use
type shall also be considered in determining the water consumption of the area.

For the proposed system to be more economical, water reservoirs should be constructed at specific
locations wherein water will be stored and distributed to individual households, industries and other
facilities. Fire reserve should be considered in determining the capacity and size of the reservoirs.

Water Supply and Distribution

It is anticipated that one of the major problems in ZCWD’s provision of potable water supply is in
Mariki. As considered in the study and for convenience of ZCWD, only communal public faucets will
be provide in this area and consumption will be considered as unaccounted-for-water.

3.2.3 Power Supply and Distribution

Power supply and distribution in the conflict area shall still rely on the Mindanao grid and distributed
by the local electric cooperative. The Mindanao grid mainly enjoys the combination of hydro power,
fossil fueled plants and, recently, the geothermal plant. During dry seasons, however, low water levels

P a g e | 93
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

at the dams constrain the supply capacity of the hydro power plant. Local power distributors thus ration
power supply causing consumers to experience short to long hours of power interruptions. The
National Government still has to draw a long-term plan for the development of the power sector to
address shortage issues. It is recommendable for the local government to initiate studies for the
development of its own power generating plant, even on an emergency basis, to augment consumer
requirements during critical periods.

The MDP assumes that a Primary Overhead Distribution System will still be used as it is more
economical than an underground system.

Power distribution is presently tapped by the local cooperative from the existing 69KV Mindanao Grid
Transmission Lines from which the transformer is stepped down to 13.8KV, 3PH, 60Hz distribution
system with the end user’s or concessionaires nominal voltage of either 230V, 3PH, 60HZ or 230V
1PH, 60HZ.

The proposed Master Power Layout Plan is presented in Figure 39.

3.2.4 Drainage Collection and Disposal

Plans for the rehabilitation of the drainage system includes the upgrading of existing systems and
construction of additional collection lines for those which are not tapped to natural drainage ways.
Existing lines which are already silted and restricting drainage flow will be de-clogged / cleaned while
natural waterways will be dredged/ desilted. The latter have to be brought back to their original widths
and drainage rights-of-way, including easements, will have to be re-acquired.

A Master Drainage Plan is being prepared parallel to this MDP.

3.2.5 Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal

Sanitation facilities will be incorporated in Z3R. Particularly for houses-on-stilts, it is envisioned that
domestic sewerage lines from individual houses shall be collected in pipes and collected into sewage
treatment plants (STP) at suitable locations. It is estimated that three (3) STPs will be needed each to
service developments in Mariki and Tiao Him properties. The locations of these STPs are indicated in
the MDP.

On the landside, the management of wastewater and sewage generated by all the institutional,
commercial and residential facilities involves initial treatment in individual septic tanks and then
conveyed to street drains.

3.2.6 Solid Waste Collection and Disposal

Materials recovery facilities (MRF) shall be built and located at areas accessible to the garbage
collection trucks of the City’s environmental unit for hauling to the sanitary landfill. House-to-house
domestic waste segregation is encouraged and be readied for collection at schedules established by the
City’s Environmental Management Division.

3.2.7 Telecommunications Services

A complete telephone system shall be provided. This shall include service entrance facilities, main
telephone terminal cabinets, pedestal mounted telephone cabinets (sub-panels), conduits, wires and
cables, terminal blocks, manholes, and service boxes. The entire system shall be designed in
accordance to the telephone utility company’s standards.

The Telephone System shall be supported with emergency generator circuits at the exchange building
of the provider to ensure continuous operations.

The Backbone Distribution Cable shall consist of copper and Fiber Optic Cabling.

The Horizontal Distribution Cable shall be a Voice / DATA Cables UL certified category 5, 100 Ohm
unshielded twisted pair cabling, four pairs per cable sheath.

The telephone distribution lines for the project shall be underground installation. The underground
telephone distribution layout shall be routed along the roadways and sidewalks. The underground
distribution lines shall be routed along the roadways of the development.

4 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

4.1 Forest and Watershed Management

One of the concerns in the conservation of water resources and flooding is the denuded watershed and
upland areas. Strategies to protect and rehabilitate these areas include the following:

• Protection of remaining natural forests from illegal logging and occupancy.

• Enhancement of reforestation programs in denuded areas of the watershed, especially in steeply


sloping areas. Reforestation programs should be regularly monitored to ensure sustainability of tree
plantations.

• Increased partnerships with national government agencies, private sector, and communities in
reforestation and rehabilitation activities.

• Information and education activities on forest protection and rehabilitation, watershed management
and biodiversity conservation.

4.2 Mangrove Area Protection and Rehabilitation

The government needs to rehabilitate the denuded mangrove areas, especially those affected by the
siege in in Brgys. Mariki, Talon-Talon, Mampang and Arena Blanco. The DENR CENRO West and
the OCENR can implement these activities through partnerships with affected communities. It is also
important to increase awareness, education and concern on the protection, rehabilitation and
conservation of mangrove forests.

4.3 Water Quality Management

The quality of surface water and groundwater resources should be maintained in order to sustain their
productive uses as well as to protect the health of the people and other organisms utilizing these water
resources. The provisions of the Clean Water Act should be strictly implemented to control water
pollution.

Waste directly disposed to rivers and creeks should be prohibited to avoid siltation and stagnation,
especially during heavy rainfall, as this aggravates flooding. Disposal of garbage to the coastal area and
marine environment should also be prohibited. These wastes can harm the quality of coastal resources.

Some strategies to improve water quality are the following:

• Enhancement of water quality monitoring in rivers and creeks to include monitoring of total
coliform and fecal coliform in the assessment.

• Establishment of groundwater monitoring or sampling stations to determine the presence of


contaminants.

P a g e | 97
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

• Strict monitoring of improper solid waste and wastewater disposal from households, institutions,
industrial and commercial establishments, resorts, livestock farms to rivers, creeks, coastal areas or
directly to the ground.
• Massive and regular information dissemination and public education on the importance of
maintaining water quality in both surface and groundwater sources.

4.4 Air Quality Management

There is a need to maintain a healthy air environment in the whole city, especially in densely populated
areas. The following measures can be undertaken to improve the quality of air and reduce health
hazards from air pollutants:

• Enhancement of ambient air quality monitoring and include other pollutants as prescribed in the
Clean Air Act.
• Regular monitoring of emissions from mobile, stationary and area sources of pollution.
• Conduct of periodic roadside testing to monitor and apprehend smoke belching vehicles.
• Prohibition of burning of waste and other materials in open spaces.
• IEC programs on the significance of maintaining a healthy environment and reducing air pollution
in the community.

4.5 Disaster Risk Reduction Management and Climate Change Adaptation


(DRRM-CCA) Measures

The common natural disasters in the city include earthquake, tsunami, landslides, flooding and coastal
surges. Climate changes will also result in unpredictable and extreme weather conditions such as heavy
rainfall, drought and a rise in sea level. The barangays affected by the siege such as Mariki, Rio Hondo,
Santa Barbara and Santa Catalina are highly susceptible to flooding. Many of the houses in the coastal
communities of Rio Hondo (Bangkero, Pattah, Hongkong, Lupa-lupa, Kabingaan and Laud-laud) and
Mariki (Sahaya Water Village) and Kasanyangan (Bugguk) used to be houses-on-stilts and often
exposed to tidal action.

These traditional settlements will be protected against geo-hazards. The houses on stilts that will be
built along the coast should be protected against tidal action since their locations have been identified
as areas prone to coastal surge, flooding and tsunami. A mangrove reforestation area will be developed
to buffer the coastal communities in Rio Hondo and Mariki- starting from the edge of Lupa-lupa to as
far as seaward as may be allowed by the depth of the seabed. The residents who will be displaced by
the mangrove forest buffer, as well as those people residing off-shore will be relocated to a possible
resettlement site in Brgy. Kasanyangan, located no more than a kilometer away from their original
locations. A new community which approximates previous water conditions shall be developed in the
area.

To further reduce vulnerability to natural hazards and to decrease the porosity of the coastal settlements
to the entry of rebel elements in the future, a narrow boardwalk allowing pedestrian movement on top is
proposed starting from the edge of Lupa lupa up to the eastern side of the Mariki settlement, encircling
the Sahaya Water Village. The boardwalk will be on piles to allow the ingress and egress of Badjao
boats as well as the entry of saltwater.

P a g e | 98
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

The houses in outlying coastal areas of Talon-talon (Layag-layag), Mampang (Leha-leha) and Mariki
(Sumariki/ Sumatra) were not razed by fire, but these are prone to tidal action (coastal surge). These
communities will be resettled to a nearby relocation site to protect them from the impacts of coastal
surge.

Other DRRM-CCA measures will also be formulated to reduce the risk of disaster and increase the
communities’ adaptive capacity to climate change. These measures include the following:

• Creation of a strong and functional Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Council (DRRMC)
at the barangay levels.

• Conduct of disaster risk and climate change vulnerability assessment which includes among others,
hazard characterization, vulnerability analysis, adaptive capacity assessment and mapping of
vulnerable areas. Information generated should be disseminated to the Barangay DRRMC for
contingency action planning and mitigation measures.

• Development and operationalization of an Early Warning System in the city and in the barangays.
This would include strengthening of coordination efforts with NDRRMC; setting of monitoring
stations (rain gauges, water level gauges), community communication and broadcast systems and
procedures, and coordination with other national agencies and development organizations, such as
PAGASA, PHIVOLCS, DENR-EMB, DENR-MGB, DILG, DSWD, DPWH, DND, PNP, PNRC,
among others.

• Conduct of public awareness programs on the nature and impact of disasters and facilitation of
drills and exercises for disaster preparedness. Community leaders should be trained on disaster
rescue, relief operations and protocols in evacuation centers.

• Mobilization and training of barangay volunteers and community leaders in the monitoring and
reporting of impending floods, landslides, storm surges, tsunami and other hazards, using
climatological indicators and disaster information from agencies such as PAGASA, PHIVOLCS,
DENR-MGB, DILG and the local government.

• Establishment of community facilities, especially in new housing sites, which can serve as
evacuation centers for safe and immediate shelter for those affected and displaced during disasters.
This will include preparation of evacuation plans and procedures, transportation and procurement
of necessary facilities for emergency and evacuation activities, including emergency health kits,
food and water provisions, and others.

• Development of rainwater harvesting technologies and practices in the community to save water
and prepare for dry periods. Sustainable urban drainage systems, such as water retention facilities,
are encouraged to be provided in new housing sites.

• New housing sites shall be provided with ample landscaping and ground level permeable surfaces
and improved roads shall be tree-lined to prevent cases of urban heat islands.

5 SOCIO-ECONOMIC REHABILITATION PLAN

5.1 Social Development

5.1.1 Goal

To facilitate social development among conflict affected families by increasing the accessibility and
quality of social development services and infrastructure.

5.1.2 Objectives

Following are the objectives for social development:

• Provide housing units that are culturally appropriate, accessible to livelihood or sources of
employment, and that meet the established standards of NHA and HLURB.
• Establish community social infrastructure such as schools, health centers, day care centers,
mosques, and madrasahs in strategic locations.
• Rehabilitate and repair damaged social infrastructure and construct new structures in the affected
barangays.
• Plan open spaces or community areas that can be sites for social interaction and recreation. These
can include a multi-purpose hall or playground
• Build communities that are safe and secure and that promote peace and order.
• Ensure that social welfare programs and capability building programs reach the target groups.

5.1.3 Strategies

Following are the objectives for social development:

• To address the distinct socio-cultural preferences of the ethnic groups, the plan will ensure that
housing and other social infrastructure will consider their culture and community dynamics. In
order to achieve this, the site plan will allocate housing and community infrastructure by ethnic
group whenever feasible. Thus, there will be clusters of dwelling units that will be based on
ethnicity. This strategy will enhance existing community relations and lessen the possibility of
alienation, misunderstanding or conflict.

The following table summarizes the IDPs in terms of their ethnicity and barangay of origin. The
proportion of ethnic groups was estimated by the Office of Civil Defense in coordination with the
National Commission on Indigenous Peoples Region IX. Sama/Bangingi/Yakan families will be
resettled in houses on stilts, in respect of their culture. Badjao families will be provided houses on
stilts, as well.

• The community clusters will be self-sufficient in terms of the basic social infrastructure. The sites
will be designed such that education and health facilities, community centers, places of worship,
and livelihood will be easily accessible. If possible, the site should be centered around or be near
the barangay hall as the basic unit of governance. The barangay halls will have a standard design.
• The Z3R master development plan is intended to support the Barangay Development Plans of the
affected barangays, especially in terms of the use of community social infrastructure and provision
of social development services. The Barangay Development Council of the affected barangays will
be involved in the planning and rehabilitation of their barangays.
• Each barangay will have a barangay health station. Barangay health stations will be adequately
manned and will have sufficient medicines and medical supplies. Barangay health workers will
receive a regular allowance for their health service provision.
• All barangays will have a barangay fire brigade and a barangay tanod brigade, as well as proximity
to a police station or outpost.
• Women-friendly and child-friendly spaces will be allocated, such as day care centers, learning
center, parks, playground, livelihood center, and community hall. Programs such as supplemental
feeding of children and nutrition awareness among mothers will be maintained.
• Whenever feasible, community gardens will be developed as a possible site for vegetable or herb
production.
• All sites will have a solid waste management system, especially a regular trash collection, in place.
Waste segregation at source will be taught and practiced.
• All barangays will have a reliable water and power supply.
• Community consultations will be maintained in the preparation and implementation of the site
development plans. Involving the affected groups in the planning process will enhance social
acceptability, especially of the off-site resettlement projects.

P a g e | 101
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction

National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

• For effective planning, monitoring and evaluation, the maintenance of a common database of IDPs,
as well as the identification of the responsible office to manage the database and implement M&E,
is necessary.
• The site development plans will consider not just the present needs of the affected communities but
will also address the projected demand of the future population. For example, schools and
classrooms should be planned adequately so that they can accommodate projected increases in the
school-going population.

5.2 Economic Rehabilitation Plan

The economic rehabilitation plan will be divided into two combined sub-sectors: (1) fisheries,
aquaculture and agriculture and (2) industry, commerce and tourism. The rehabilitation plan will
include, for each sub-sector, goals and objectives, targets, strategies, and programs and projects. The
plan considers the economic conditions and issues discussed earlier and will focus particularly on the
barangay reconstruction and recovery needs after the conflict.

Overall Economic Goal

• To revive the economies of the conflict-affected barangays and to even enhance them towards
achieving inclusive growth and development

5.2.1 Fisheries, Aquaculture and Agriculture

Goals and Objectives

• To rehabilitate the fishing, aquaculture and agriculture economy


• To raise income levels of impoverished fishermen, seaweed farmers fishpond/ fishpen operators,
crop growers and animal raisers
• To drastically lower the high unemployment rate
• To increase the declining productivity of the sources of livelihood from the sea and from the land
and to encourage them to diversify into other phases of their operations
• To promote sustainable fisheries and agricultural development that observes a balance between
economic gains and ecological principles
• To expand the fishery and agricultural raw-material base for agri-industrial processing

Targets

• To provide Badjao and Samal fishermen seaweed farmers and aquaculturists with new fishing
boats, fishing gears, farm equipment and propagation materials
• To increase income levels of fishermen beyond the average monthly income of Php3,000.00.
• To increase the average catch per fishing effort of barangay fishermen from 220 kg./mo. for
motorized fishing and from 110 kg./mo. for non-motorized fishing

P a g e | 102
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

• To increase the average annual income from seaweeds of Php7,500.00 per 3 meters using improved
farming techniques and equipment
• To rehabilitate the 50 seaweed farms in Mariki and the fishpens/ fishponds numbering 14 in Rio
Hondo, one in Sta. Barbara and nine in Kasanyangan
• To increase the daily minimum agricultural wages of Php255.00 in plantation agriculture
enterprises and of Php235.00 in non-plantation enterprises
• To expand poultry raising beyond a barangay total of around 100 chickens and livestock raising
from a barangay total of around 40 heads in larger barangays like Sta. Catalina, Kasanyangan,
Talon-Talon and Mampang
• To drastically reduce the unemployment levels that sometimes reach up to 35% especially in the
coastal barangays
• To provide eventually, in the short-term, for the total needs arising from damages and losses of the
agricultural sector totaling Php21,250,000 and broken down as follows: fisheries-Php20,850,000;
high value crops-Php200,000; corn-Php100,000; and livestock-Php100,000 (PCNA, 2013)

Development Strategies

• Organizing new farmers’ and fisherfolks’ cooperatives and organizations and strengthening
existing ones. Cooperatives can be in the form of marketing, credit and consumers’ cooperatives.
These cooperatives and associations will protect the farmers and fishermen from being exploited
by middlemen and big traders and ensure high value for their produce.
• Provision of technical support to fishermen, seaweed farmers, fishpond/fishpen operators and
animal raisers. Government entities and NGOs should expose these local constituents of the
primary economic sector to modern/improved technologies such as better fishing gear/equipment
and new fishing techniques and knowledge, new seaweed varieties and improved techniques
beyond the “tie-tie”, nylon, bamboo and plastic bundle structures, more productive varieties of fish,
shrimp and crab, and better livestock breeds, pest and disease control techniques and meat
processing technologies.
• Provision of managerial support to primary economic activities, such as managerial training in
running their means of livelihood, practical accounting methods, and exploring new management
schemes like joint venture agreement, contract growing scheme, cooperative estate farming, etc.
• Replacement of damaged facilities and structures such as seaweed farm structures, dryers, fishpond
dikes, fishpens, fishing boats, farm storage structures, etc.
• Provision of financial support to primary economic activities by public and private entities such as
providing sufficient and low-interest capital to existing and new ventures

Programs and Projects

Recommended programs and projects for the primary economic sector are shown in Annex 2. These
may be the subject of a request for additional funds to the initially approved budget for Z3R or
incorporated into the Zamboanga City’s Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP).

5.2.2 Industry, Commerce and Tourism

Goals and Objectives

• To introduce more processing of raw materials from fishery, seaweed farming, fishpond/ fishpen
operation and animal husbandry
• To diversify industrial activities other than the few traditional processing ventures in the conflict-
affected barangays
• To promote more commercial/ trading activities in barangays whose economies are based on
primary economic endeavors as in Brgys. Mariki, Rio Hondo, Kasanyangan, Talon-Talon,
Mampang and Arena Blanco
• To enhance commercial/ trading activities in barangays like Zone IV, Sta. Barbara and Sta.
Catalina which are dominated by tertiary economic activities as a way of supporting the traditional
image of Zamboanga City as the trading and shopping center of Region IX (Zamboanga Peninsula)
and the BIMP-EAGA
• To help revive Zamboanga City’s image as a major tourist destination in the South which is rich in
natural, historical and cultural attractions

Targets

• To establish at least one seaweed processing plant for each of the following tandems of barangays:
Mariki and Rio Hondo, Kasanyangan and Talon-Talon, and Mampang and Arena Blanco
• To put up at least one fish canning plant in each or in groups of the coastal barangays that should
help promote the city’s reputation as the sardine capital of the South, if not of the Philippines
• To increase the number and kind of industrial and commercial establishments beyond the following
totals listed by the Zamboanga City government in 2012: Mariki-22, Rio Hondo-4, Sta. Barbara-
62, Sta. Catalina-282, Zone IV-267, Kasanyangan-44, and Talon-Talon-165. Most of these are
actually commercial establishments and a great majority of which are retail stores. There is a need
to increase the number and variety of industrial/processing concerns that have more multiplier
effects in terms of the utilization of local raw materials and absorption of the large percentages of
unemployed persons in the barangays.
• To increase the daily non-agricultural minimum wages beyond the following rates identified by the
city government in 2013: non-agricultural-Php280.00; retail/service/establishment-Php260.00;
cottage handicraf-Php235.00.
• To help increase tourist arrivals from 293,446 in 2005 to 586,000 by 2015 as projected by the City
government
• To provide funds, in the short-term, amounting to Php17,280,000 for reconstruction of structures of
the affected 120 micro, small, medium and large enterprises (MSMLEs) with estimated area of 3m.
x 4m. at Php12,000 per sq.m. (PCNA, 2013)
• To provide funds, in the short-term, amounting to Php12,000,000 for the procurement and
repair/reconditioning of equipment and machineries for the 120 MSMLEs at Php100,000 for each
enterprise (PCNA, 2013)

P a g e | 104
Z3R: Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction
Department of Public Works and Highways
National Housing Authority
City Government of Zamboanga

• To provide, in the short-term, access to credit financing of up to Php100,000 for each enterprise
(PCNA, 2013)
• To provide, in the short-term, shared service facilities (equipment and machinery) costing
Php9,000,000 for the industry sector through business associations at Php1,000,000 per barangay
(PCNA, 2013)
• To conduct entrepreneurial and basic skills training (including starter kits), with total cost of
services and instruction materials estimated at Php574,000 (PCNA, 2013)

Development Strategies

• Industrial campaign by the local government to increase access of small and medium enterprises
(SMEs) to financial assistance from government financial institutions (GFIs), private banks and
NGOs
• Revitalized human resource development for developing promising industries such as those that
will process local marine, agricultural, forest and mineral raw materials as well as for barter trading
of local and foreign (BIMP-EAGA) finished products. For these, the DTI-Bureau of Development
Council, GoNegosyo, local Chamber of Commerce and Industry and other relevant government
and private entities should be tapped for assistance.
• Pursuit of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) schemes by the City government and business
associations in order to lessen the burden on public finances that have even become more limited
with the challenges posed by recovery and rehabilitation needs
• Aggressive marketing by the city among potential local and foreign investors to locate their
enterprises in the City Proper as well as in the new growth areas of Labuan, Ayala, Sangali, Curuan
and Vitali. The promotional strategy will involve stress on the area’s strategic location, its pivotal
roles within the context of the BIMP-EAGA and the ASEAN, its skilled manpower, and its rich
culture and history.
• Intensified information, education and communication (IEC) campaign via multi-media, Internet,
trade fairs, tourism conferences and other fora promoting Zamboanga City - particularly the City
Proper - as already a safe and pleasant place for tourists to visit and enjoy. Part of the information
to be disseminated is the fast recovery and reconstruction efforts being done by the local
government, the DPWH, the NHA, the DSWD, the DOH, as well as foreign governments and
organizations.
• Declaration of a tax holiday for the third quarter of 2013 when the conflict occurred, reduced taxes
and fees for businesses that were forced to suffer damages and losses by the conflict, and
moratorium on payment of debts/loans from government financing institutions, especially for
conflict-affected marginal sectors like fisherfolks, seaweed farmers, cash crop growers and micro-
entrepreneurs who are usually considered not credit-worthy by private credit sources

Program and Projects

Recommended programs and projects identified for the trade, industry and tourism subsector are also
shown in Appendix 3 together with those of the fisheries, aquaculture and agriculture subsector.
Similarly, requests for additional Z3R funding may be made or budget may be through the LGU by
way of including these into the local CDP.

6.2 Organizational Arrangements

Overall direction is being provided by the DPWH Secretary Rogelio L. Singson by virtue of the
appointment given by President Benigno Simeon Aquino III. The City Government of Zamboanga
plays a central coordinative role, pulling together the inputs of all stakeholders through the Local Inter-
Agency Committee on Permanent Housing and the efforts of all agencies directly in charge with the
implementation of component projects. The roles of the other key agencies are briefly described as
follows:

• NHA for land acquisition for housing sites, shelter production and distribution of HOMA

• DPWH-IX for land acquisition of roads and drainage rights-of-way and subsequent construction/
improvement of roads and related infrastructure
• City Government for coordination of the development of Security facilities to be implemented by
respective agencies such as the Philippine Army, Philippine Navy, PNP, Coast Guard, etc.
• OCD-IX for coordination of the reconstruction efforts of various agencies such as DepEd, DOH,
DTI, DSWD, DENR, ZAMCELCO, ZCWD, PLDT, etc.

An external consultant, working hand-in-hand with the City Government, shall perform project
monitoring functions. The organization structure for Z3R implementation is presented in the figure
below:

6.3 Budgetary Requirement

The implementation of projects called for by the CMP is initially estimated to cost at about P3.5
Billion. The Shelter Component is estimated to have the largest representing almost 40% of total cost.
It is reasonably anticipated that there will be a re-alignments in the component costs as the CMP is
detailed.

The summary of initially estimated costs is presented in the table below while the details are presented
as Annex 4.

Estimated Cost

Amount Share (%)
I Shelter Production and Assistance 1,388,355,000.00 39.7
II Land Acquisition 258,150,000.00 7.4
III Land Development 648,893,000.00 18.5
IV Philippine Navy & Coast Guard 143,675,000.00 4.1
V OCD R-IX Damage Assessment 821,000,000.00 23.5
VI Assistance 55,870,000.00 1.6
VII Contingency 184,057,000.00 5.3
Total 3,500,000,000.00 100.0

The key assumptions used in the estimate were developed upon consultations with the LGU and
DPWH. According to component, these are the following:

Shelter Production and Assistance

• This component is expected to be borne by NHA.


• The total number of affected families is 7,248 which was the figure as of December 2013. This is
reported by the city government as still being on the high side (conservative assumption).
Depending on final count by the LGU, this number may be reduced to about 6,185 which is the
total number of surveyed house owners. The difference is represented by families with various
status of occupancy such as house sharers, renters, caretakers and boarders.
• The LGU estimated that the number of families who are expected to avail of the Housing Materials
Assistance Program is 1,661.
• The rest of the affected families (5,587) are expected to avail of NHA’s Housing Program which
involves the construction of duplex/ single-storey/ loftable and two storey/ multi-family dwelling
units as well as houses on stilts.
• The cost includes land acquisition cost for the approximately 38.3 has. proposed resettlement site
in Brgy. Kasanyangan to include right-of-way access from Paniran Housing Resettlement Site.
This will be developed for houses-on-stilts.
• The cost likewise includes land development costs for new development and existing
redevelopment sites.

Land Acquisition

• The cost includes the following:

- Land acquisition of the Chiong Property (1.15 has) and Evangelista Property (0.9 has). It
should be noted that since the budget was approved in December 2013, the purchase of the
Chiong property did not materialize due to the difficulty to cancel encumbrances attached to
the title.
- Right-of-way acquisition costs for the widening and extension of roads and drainage ways.

City Government of Zamboanga

Land Development

• The cost includes the construction of common roads and drainage, fencing of and installation of a
flood gate at the Fishpond Area and mangrove reforestation in Rio Hondo/ Mariki coastal
settlement.

Philippine Navy and Coast Guard

• The cost includes land acquisition of the approximately one hectare MINDEVA property in Rio
Hondo as well as provisional amounts for land development and building construction of
headquarters facilities of the Philippine Navy and Coast Guard.

OCD R-IX Damage Assessment

• The cost includes reconstruction and recovery works to bring the following back to pre-conflict
conditions:

- Infrastructure such as power, water, roads, bridges and drainage and telecommunications
- Small and medium enterprises such as banks, hardware stores, general merchants, etc.
- Agricultural activities (crops and fisheries)
- Cultural facilities such as mosques, churches and madrasahs

Cash Assistance

The cost includes a preliminary amount of P10,000.00 to provide Cash Assistance per family who will
not be eligible to the NHA’s Housing Materials Assistance Program.

Contingency

The cost includes a provisional amount equivalent to about five percent of direct costs.

6.4 Implementation Schedule

Implementation has already started and all component projects are expected to be finished by June
2015. The Implementation Schedule is presented in the following table.
