LAGUNA DE BAY COMMUNITY CARBON FINANCE (CARBONSHED) PROJECT

The Laguna de Bay Community Carbon Finance Project is an initiative parallel to and complementary with the LISCOP project. Funded under the Japan Trust Fund for Climate Change Initiatives, it aims to reduce carbon emissions. Although the Carbonshed Grant ended on July 28, 2008, LLDA continued its commitment to implement projects that will eventually contribute to the local and global efforts to mitigate Global warming. Such projects include engaging communities to implement solid waste management mechanisms, composting, reforestation projects and construction of infrastructure to support these projects including wastewater treatment facilities. These projects are envisioned to address the priority environmental issues in water pollution caused by mismanaged solid and liquid wastes and lake sedimentation caused by solid erosion due to natural and manmade loss of forest cover. For 2011, the LLDA team undertakes continuous monitoring of the subprojects under Bundle 1. (table 3) Moreover, the letter of approval for Bundle 2 has been affirmed on March 14, 2011. This includes sub-projects of Victoria, Antipolo, Angono and Lucban. Also, a training-workshop on operations of MRF and monitoring of composting activities for carbon credits was held on March15-16, 2011 at Monte Vista Resort, Pansol, Calamba, Laguna.

SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN

Laguna de Bay is a critical and strategic natural resource that provides various environmental goods and services to both upstream and downstream communities. Hence, the 1995 Laguna de Bay Master Plan was conceived and approved by then President Fidel V. Ramos to spell-out the strategies that will promote the sustainable management of the Laguna de Bay Region. As a result, significant environmental and institutional milestones have been achieved over the past years. However, with the enactment of Philippine Clean Water Act, Solid Waste Management Act, and other environmental laws, coupled with existing resource use and allocation conflicts, emerging natural resources management challenges and other issues, such as climate change adaptation, disaster reduction, development and financing of environmental infrastructure projects, and the need to strengthen institutional mechanisms; hence, it is deemed necessary to formulate an updated and revised Laguna de Bay Region Master Plan that will address the above concerns. In this regard, the LLDA crafted an updated Master Plan framework, which was approved by the Board of Directors in its meeting held on February 25, 2011.

Likewise agreed in the said meeting was the engagement of consultants that will formulate a Spatial Development Master Plan for the region. To move this forward, on April 6, 2011, the LLDA engaged the services of UP-Planning and Development Research Foundation, Incorporated (PLANADES) to craft the Spatial Development Master Plan for the Laguna de Bay Basin thru a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by then GM Rodrigo E. Cabrera for LLDA and Dr. Candido A. Cabrido, Jr. for UP Planades.

Laguna Lake Development Authority

Specifically, anchoring on the benefits brought about by the 1995 Laguna de Bay Master Plan, it pursued the following: (i) identify policies that will strengthen the Authoritys regulatory mechanism; (ii) develop strategies that will implement big-ticket programs and projects for the Laguna de Bay Basin: Land and Lake Water Use and Physical Development Plan; (iii) develop policies that will address existing and emerging natural resource challenges and other issues such as climate change, disaster reduction, among others.

PHP 270M APPROPRIATION FROM THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT

LAKE SEEDING
with the
President Benigno S. Aquino III led on May 24, 2011 the seeding of tilapia and big head carp fingerlings in the fish sanctuary situated in Malaking Pulo, Barangay Punta, Jalajala, Rizal off the waters of Laguna de Bay. With the theme, Bringing Back the Lakes Bountiful Harvest, the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) aims to revitalize the lakes fishery resources through this lake seeding to augment the livelihood of fishermen around the Laguna de Bay Region. The President was accompanied by high-ranking government officials including Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Ramon Paje, Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala, LLDA GM Rod Cabrera, Governor ER Ejercito of Laguna, Gov. Jun Ynares of Rizal, Congressman Joel Roy Duavit, Cong. Edgar San Luis, Mayor Elionor Pillas of Jalajala Rizal, congressmen, mayors, barangay leaders and members of FARMC and other fisherfolk organizations. Succeeding lake seeding activities were conducted in the lake waters of San Pablo City, Muntinlupa, Cardona and Binangonan on May 30, June 10, 14 and 17, 2011, respectively. A total of 600,000 fingerlings were dispersed in 2011 to revitalize fishery resources and provide livelihood with 1M fingerlings committed for the entire program. Laguna Lake Development Authority

OPLAN UNIVERSE
OPLAN UNIVERSE
OPLAN UNIVERSE is pursuant to LLDA mandate under R.A. 4850 that provides that all plans, programs and projects of public corporations, private persons or enterprises and local government offices shall be in consonance with the Authoritys development goals for the entire Laguna de Bay Region. Therefore, the LLDA is authorized to pass upon and approve or disapprove such development programs and projects to efficiently and effectively manage the lake and its resource. OPLAN UNIVERSE is a special task force launched in April 2011 whose main activity is to conduct census of all industries within the Laguna de Bay Region. There were 14 enumerators hired to conduct surveys in Quezon City, its piloted area. Specifically, its roles are as follows: 1. Determine the industry universe in the region for the purpose of reducing pollution; 2. Assist in updating the Industry Database; 3. Provide inputs on the streamlining of industry permitting business processes; and 4. Recommend future steps on the continuance of the Program From April to June 2011, the enumerators conducted the said activity in Quezon City for this purpose. It is aimed to identify establishments that need to secure Discharge Permits and LLDA Clearance in order to establish an updated and reliable regulatory and monitoring system. As part of the efforts to bring into the fold all industrial, commercial and other establishments, LLDA received 587 applications for LLDA Clearance, 1,371 for Discharge Permits and 234 Notices of Violation (NOV). After several months in operations of the Oplan Universe, it has been observed that there is still low level of awareness of establishments in the region of the LLDAs mandate and jurisdiction. A new approach has been recommended by management, these are the following: Make use of the Supreme Court Mandamus which requires all LGUs covered to submit list of establishments within their areas of jurisdictions; Assign the enumerators in the piloted LGUs and coordinate in cross checking establishments with Business Permits vs. LLDA database focusing on establishments without LLDA Clearance/ Permit rather than fielding them out for saturation works; Tap available funds from the DBM approved Manila Bay Advisory Committee (MBAC) budget for LGU led saturation activities; Fast track the encoding of OPLAN UNIVERSE information into the LLDA industry database; and Continue the program with modifications as recommended.

BOARD RESOLUTION No. 406-2011

ISSUANCE OF
A Resolution Requiring Local Government Units in the Laguna de Bay Region to Pass and Implement an Ordinance Banning the Use and Distribution of Thin Film, Single Use, Carry Out, Non- Biodegradable Plastic Bags. This BR imposed a ban on the use of single plastic bags. After its publication in a newspaper of national circulation, a copy was furnished to LGUs, officially informing them as well as soliciting their full cooperation and support to ensure compliance with the same. In a study conducted by the Muntinlupa City Government after the destructive typhoon Ondoy, it was found out that 90% of materials which obstructed waterways and clogged storm drains were plastic. In addition, a recent study by the Ocean Conservancy showed that the debris collected from Philippine Coastal Clean-up in 2008, which included sites in and around Laguna de Bay, consisted predominantly of plastic bags and plastic packaging materials. As co-stewards of the Laguna de Bay environment, local government units (LGUs) play a major role in ensuring the implementation of the LLDA Board Resolution No. 406 which bans the use of non-biodegradable plastic bags in all cities and municipalities in the Laguna de Bay Region. Approved on 24 March 2011, the resolution aims to concretely address the indiscriminate dumping of plastic bags and other packaging materials into the environment causing flooding, clogging of waterways and shallowing of the rivers and the lake. As an alternative, LLDA is advocating the use of biodegradable plastics which is made out of potatoes and corn. As of today, there are many biodegradable plastic products available in the market such as sando bags, garbage bags, utensils, disposable plates, among others. This is being promoted on top the reuse, reduce and recycle campaign of the Authority. To date, the Local Governments of Muntinlupa City in Metro Manila; the Municipalities of Los Baos, Calamba, Paete and Kalayaan in Laguna, Taytay in Rizal; Lucban in Quezon and Carmona in Cavite have already passed and implemented local ordinances prohibiting or regulating the use of plastic bags in their localities. The other LGUs are expected to do the same.

NATIONAL

GREENING
PROGRAM
The Laguna Lake Development Authority takes its share in the implementation of the National Greening Program (NGP) of President Benigno Aquino III with its signing of a Memorandum of Agreement last May 30, 2011 with the Federation of River Basin Foundation, INC. (FRBFI), Rizal Provincial Government and University of Rizal System (URS) Tanay for a province-wide tree-planting program in Rizal. The FRBFI is designated to identify areas for planting based on LLDAs Reforestation Plan for the Laguna de Bay Region. In addition, the foundation together with URS shall undertake the actual nursery establishment and operation for seedling propagation. For its part, LLDA will provide the aforementioned institutions with ample technical and financial assistance and the necessary materials to successfully carry out the planting plan and the out-planting of the seedlings. For sustainability and better management,the participating agencies are also creating capacity-building mechanisms for the communities within the tree-planting zones. Meanwhile, On October 7, 2011, Secretary Neric Acosta, Presidential Adviser for Environmental Protection and Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) General Manager, led hundreds of LLDA employees and members of the local community in two separate tree-planting activities aimed to rehabilitate the watershed of the Laguna de Bay Region and in support of the Presidents National Greening Program. The first tree-planting program was held at Tayak Hill, Brgy. Tala, Rizal, Laguna while the second one was held on October 12, 2011, in Brgy. Binayoyo, Antipolo City. In his speech, the Secretary reiterated the importance of the watershed, a natural water reservoir, in the protection and preservation of the Laguna Lake, preventing floods, and securing food for future generations.

Agro-forestry site in LLDA Complex, Calauan, Laguna A denuded watershed would mean siltation in the Laguna Lake, which could lead to algae bloom and fish kills. Siltation occurs when there are high levels of silt or clay in a body of water due to surface run-off or soil erosion and flooding because of the lack of trees to hold the rain water in the ground. The site where the second tree-planting activity was held is part of the Marikina Watershed which was the major source of floodwaters during typhoon Ondoy. The Secretary also stressed the importance of the watershed to food security, saying, If the watershed becomes denuded, there will be no water reservoir, and no water. And if theres no water, there will be no food. Secretary Acosta stressed that it is therefore imperative that we rejuvenate the watershed by increasing its water-holding capacity if we want a cleaner lake, food security for our children, and to avoid another Ondoy. Planting trees is the least that we can do if we want to leave behind a legacy.Trees will live far beyond our lifetime and will be there for the next generations to come, Sec. Acosta added. LLDA partners with the local government of the Municipality of Rizal, Laguna headed by Mayor Antonino Aurelio for the planting and rearing of trees at the Laguna site. For the Antipolo site, the activity was conducted in partnership with Manila Water Co. and FBE Cube Phils.These tree-planting activities are part of the many programs of the LLDA as part of LLDAs 42nd anniversary in October 2011. The LLDA through the Calauan Agro-Forestry Project was able to propagate a total 88,743 seedlings and were distributed to the different LGUs in support to their tree planting activities. A total of 20,063 pieces were dispersed to different LGUs in Rizal and Laguna, River Councils, other institutions and individuals and partner industries while 49,114 seedlings are available for planting and dispersal.

ADOPT-A-RIVER PROJECT
Industry giants have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) on a project dubbed as Adopt-a-River, a priority venture under the River Rehabilitation Program of LLDA. The program is geared towards the rehabilitation, protection and conservation of the rivers within the Laguna de Bay Region. Under the terms of agreement, the adoptive party, in coordination with the River Councils organized by LLDA, will take a lead role in River Conservation Advocacy and help formulate a Development and Management Plan for the river they have chosen to adopt with the end view of generating active participation from barangays, industries, commercial establishments and local government units within the area. According to LLDA General Manager Rod Cabrera, Adopt-a-River involves primarily the development of river segmentation and site assessment, community profiling, information drives and motivation campaigns, establishment of eco-parks and water purification facilities. In coordination with LLDA, the adopters will provide financial and technical assistance to the LGUs and River Councils in realizing this project. Large companies such as Jeon & Hans International and Tanduay Distillers Inc. have already signed memorandums with LLDA. J&H has embarked itself on the water purification of Laguna Lake and the dredging of the mouth of its tributaries with Chairman Il-Sung Jeon signing the MOU last February 2011. While Tanduay has pledged for the rehabilitation and conservation of Cabuyao River with Chairman Lucio Tan signing the MOA last November 2010. Seven corporations have adopted the Teresa River in Rizal. The signing of the MOU was held on April 18, 2011 with the following signatories: LLDA GM Rod Cabrera, Teresa Mayor Rodel N. Dela Cruz, Ricardo Mendoza of Republic Cement Corp., Annie Dee of Teresa Marble Corp., Philip Guong of Cosmos Farm, Geraldine Pasion of CDY Farm, Nolie Semeniano of ABC Phil. Inc. and representatives from Robina Farm and Foremost Farm. The health of the Laguna Lake ultimately depends on the health of each and every tributary, creek, rivulet and stream that flows into the rivers which eventually reach the lake. Through multi-stakeholder and multi-sector involvement such as the case of Adopt-a-River, LLDAs capacity of ensuring the protection, rehabilitation and development of the Laguna Lake is greatly enhanced, GM Cabrera added.

WATER HYACINTH CLEAN-UP

A Water Hyacinth Clean-Up Operation was conducted off the waters of Laguna Lake along the 14 lakeshore barangays of Cardona, Rizal. For years, the Municipality of Cardona through the leadership of Mayor Bernardo F. San Juan, Jr. has been asking the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) to come up with a solution to the problem of the overgrowth of water hyacinths in their lakeshores. The accumulation of this aquatic plant due to northeast winds (hanging amihan) has greatly affected the livelihood of the fisher folks resulting to difficulty in navigation towards the open fishing grounds not to mention the threat to the health and well being of the lakeshore residents. In order to address the said concern, LLDA organized a clean-up operation on January 27, 2011 with the engagement of some 60 Environmental Armies and fisher folks. The undertaking was supported by Rizal Governor Casimiro A.Ynares III in Barangay Patunhay. To help facilitate the clean-up operation, a backhoe was contracted to barge heavily affected areas while manual labor was assigned to moderately affected areas. In addition, breakers made from bamboo were installed in the area to prevent the water hyacinth from blocking anew the motorways. In summary, from January 29 to March 11, 2011, a total of 5,100 tons of water hyacinth covering an area of 63 hectares were hauled using the backhoe. While a total of 650 tons covering 12 hectares were removed manually. To utilize the water hyacinth and prevent it from just becoming waste, a livelihood program was set up by LLDA in partnership with the Office of Congressman Edgar San Luis of the 4th District of Laguna together with the officials of the Kababaihang Angat Pila (KAP). Water hyacinths when dried can be weaved to form various handicrafts such as bags and slippers. As of today, 20,000 tons of water hyacinth have been harvested by the fisher folks and converted into handicrafts by the KAP. The clean-up operation is part of the new Laguna de Bay Master Plan which main aim is to develop and protect the Laguna Lake to provide sustainable livelihood and a better quality of life to its people.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Under its water quality monitoring program, LLDA uses a number of parameters to accurately assess the impacts of development activities on the river systems and the lake and their suitability for beneficial uses. These include BOD, DO, phosphate, nitrate, chloride, transparency, net primary productivity, TCC, and heavy metals.

POLLUTION CONTROL OFFICER (PCO) TRAININGS

The Continuing Environmental Education Program for Pollution Control Officers (PCOs) of various industries and business establishments was institutionalized in 2001 as an outcome of the tie-up with the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC). A module on environmental regulations, waste minimization, and cleaner production was formulated to essentially curb water pollution at point sources. This was designed to equip PCOs with knowledge on existing environmental laws and alternative wastewater treatment technologies as well as the various environmental permits they have to secure. The training has strengthened the partnership and deepened the interaction between LLDA and the industries. Given the limited resources of LLDA, these trained PCOs can help fill the gap by facilitating compliance of the establishments they represent with the anti-pollution laws and regulations.

PCO Training held at Camelot Hotel, Quezon City

In 2011, there are total of 3,600 PCOs who have attended the program. Moreover, a two-day seminar was conducted for PCOs of Industrial Estates within the Region. The topics include LLDA BR No. 404, DAO 2010-06 and Geo-Hazards in Region IV-A. It was attended by forty (40) Environmental Officers.
