SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR LEGAZPI CITY OPEN DUMPSITE INFORMAL

WASTE SECTOR (IWS): SAFE CLOSURE AND REHABILITATION OF DUMPSITE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The City of Legaspi is participating in the Integrated Persistent Organic Pollutants (IPOPs) Management Project, under Component 2, Reduction of Releases of Unintentional Persistent Organic Pollutants, specifically, in Activity 2.3 Investments in BAT/BEP Demonstration for the Solid Waste, by virtue of a Memorandum of Agreement entered into by and between the Local Government Unit of Legaspi City and the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, Central Office on October 4, 2012. Activities to be undertaken are works to stop burning at the dumpsite, dumpsite closure, improvement in landfill operation to prevent burning and advocacy to stop burning in the community.

The closure of city’s open dumpsite will affect the livelihoods of waste pickers scavenging in the area. In 2013 the City of Legaspi through the Office of the City Environment and Natural Resources (OCENR) conducted baseline survey and interviews to gather demographic information and determine the social impact of the project in compliance to IPOPS Environment and Social Assessment Framework (ESAF). This activity identified around 95 waste pickers who are coming in to the dumpsite to retrieve and recover waste materials including food waste for use as animal feeds. Retrieved or recovered materials are generally classified as recyclables and reusable are eventually sold to junk buyers for monetary returns. The City of Legaspi drafted a Social Development Plan (SDP) to address the identified impacts. The SDP prepared, however is revised through time, to incorporate improvement based on review findings, additional information and data on profile of IWS and other updates as parallel activities of project development and preparation are likewise ensuing. Latest series of consultation meetings conducted in the second quarter of 2015 noted around 71 IWS who signified their interests to participate in the livelihood projects offered to 95 IWS in the SDP. Employment is the main reason for the reduction in number of interested IWS. This SDP aside from the baseline data and demographic profile focuses on the livelihood intervention for the 71 affected IWS of the City of Legaspi. The City allocated an amount of P1.4 million pesos for the implementation of SDP. SDP addresses loss of source of incomes and other disturbances of affected 71 IWS through alternative livelihoods, employment and educational assistance projects: 1.) Crop Production; 2.) buy and sell of scraps; 3.) educational support to IWS Youth; 4.) food vending/buy and sell; and 5.) access to employment. The City Government of Legaspi through the Office of the City Environment and Natural Resources, the City Agriculture Office (CAO) and the DSWD-Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program (4Ps), and the IWS beneficiaries will be key implementers of the SDP. SDP also provides supporting documents the IWS who are no longer interested to participate in the livelihood projects. Resettlement of waste pickers is not applicable in Legaspi City since all of them have their own dwellings in their respective barangays surrounding the dumpsite. Further, Legaspi City has no records of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) who are living in the vicinity of the existing open dumpsite. Thus, the focus of this social development plan is the provision of alternative livelihoods for the 71 affected waste pickers.

1.0 INTRODUCTION Legaspi City is a component city found in the province of Albay in the Bicol Region. It is centrally located at the heart of the Bicol Region and considered as the regional administrative center for the reason that 90% of government regional offices are situated. The city is 532 kilometers south of Metro Manila and is accessible through all modes of transportations. A total of 70 barangays comprised the city, wherein 45 are urban and 25 are rural which are further classified into as northern, southern and urban barangays. Demographically, it has a population of 179,481 based on the latest census (2007 NSO Census) and estimated at present to have reached to 210,608 (CY 2013) based on an intercensal projection of 2.3% population growth rate. Major economic activity of the city is trade and commerce where the occupation of the populace is generally salary/wage workers. Solid waste management services of the City Government is presently handled by the Office of the City Environment and Natural Resources, one of the city offices in charge of the environment and natural resources undertakings. The approach of the city towards solid waste management from merely garbage collection and disposal has evolved into a paradigm shift in a manner called Ecological Solid Waste Management system. This approach is in pursuance to Republic Act 9003 otherwise known as the “The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.” Various solid waste management programs and projects were initiated and introduced to properly handle solid waste problems. One major endeavor that happened to the Legaspi City’s waste management undertaking happened in 2009, when the city received a subsidy grant amounting to 1.7 million Euros from a Spanish Cooperation in the Philippines through the Agencia Espańola de Cooperacion Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID) by virtue of a Protocol Agreement to support the City Government of Legaspi in the improvement of the environmental and social life conditions through the sustainable implementation of an ecological solid waste management system. The subsidy grant has extended enormous assistance addressing solid waste management concerns comprehensively and sustainably in accordance with R.A. 9003. The project was implemented through the political, social and technical strategies in order to stir public participation and instill the shared responsibility among concerned stakeholders. With this, waste management in the city evolved into an ecological solid waste management, which adheres to the systematic administration of activities, which provide for segregation at source, segregated transportation, storage, transfer, processing, treatment, and disposal of solid waste and all other waste management activities, which do not harm the environment. On October 4, 2012, a Memorandum of Agreement was executed by and between the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Environment and Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) and City Government of Legaspi as one of the pilot cities of the Integrated Persistent Organic Pollutants Management Project (IPOPs) under Component 2, Activity 2.3 Investment in BAT/BEP Demonstration for the Solid Waste Sector. Under this activity, it will cover demonstration of BAT/BEP to stop burning at dumpsites, more specifically dumpsite closure, and improved landfill operations. One of the issues that surfaced in implementing the above sub-activities relates to social development of waste pickers. The Social Development Plan (SDP) is prepared to address the adverse impacts (closure of dumpsite) on waste pickers who derived their livelihood from the dumpsite. It is likewise meant to guide the

7

city government, partner national agencies, private sector organizations and non-government organizations in the implementation of mitigating measures 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION OF SAFE CLOSURE AND REHABILITATION OF DUMPSITE

A. Description of Existing Dumpsite Legaspi City’s dumpsite is located at Sitio Caridad in Barangay Banquerohan on a 16-hectare city owned property where the sanitary landfill is likewise located. The locations of nearest institutions are school (3 km), chapel (1 km) and barangay health center (5 km). The city has been using the open dumpsite since 1998. Dumpsite is around 25 kilometers away from the city proper. From the main road, there is an access (although not concrete) road leading to the open dumpsite. The area occupied by the dumpsite is around five (5) hectares in which some portions have thinly scattered waste (now vegetated). The target area for closure is about 2.322 hectares upon waste consolidation. Average waste fill height is estimated to be between 8 and 15 m. Of immediate concern is the 0.840-hectare area within this section where most recent waste had been dumped. Figure No. 1 below shows photos of the north, east, west and south face of the dumpsite, respectively. Figure No. 1. Photos of the existing dumpsite (from left to right and down are north, east, west and south faces of dumpsite).

During heavy rains and rainy season, waste collected by trucks is diverted to the dumpsite instead, as garbage trucks are stalled due to the thick clayey soil cover at sanitary landfill cells. Internal access roads are not yet completely in place. Available daily soil cover material is also too clayey and application may be thicker than expected. It was also observed that current sanitary landfill cells have limited capacity despite very good waste diversion achieved by the LGU. Although it is apparent that there are still biodegradables being delivered to the landfill cells, most of it comes from market waste, which could easily be addressed by working with the market administrator. Legaspi City intends to fully cease in using the dumpsite once the implementation of safe closure and rehabilitation plan (SCRP) commences. The SCRP of the city’s open dumpsite was prepared in 2009 and submitted to DENR-EMB Region 5 in September 2009 for evaluation. Acknowledgement of the plan was duly received by the city in October 2009. The SCRP was prepared in compliance to the mandate of RA 9003 for LGUs to close dumpsites and use an engineered sanitary landfill instead. The closure plan enumerated appropriate measures to be undertaken to prevent environmental pollution caused by leachate or methane gas

8

resulting from the decomposition of waste. Slope stabilization and gradient control of the disposal area as well as the quantity of the solid waste deposited were taken into consideration in the plan preparation. Other engineering interventions necessary for the closure and rehabilitation of the open dumpsite are: site preparation, roads construction, leachate collection system, slope protection system, Erosion control/flood control/drainage system, gas venting, soil covering/final capping, buffer zones, aesthetic improvement/landscaping.

B. The Proposed Safe Closure and Rehabilitation of Dumpsite

The City Government intends to minimize environmental impacts, including the reduction of UPOPs emissions from unintentional waste burning, by applying BAT/BEP in the closure and rehabilitation of the Banquerohan Dumpsite. This includes access road with drainage system, site clearing, waste profiling, application of clay and topsoil cover, perimeter slope protection, leachate collection and recirculation, gas venting, monitoring wells and perimeter fencing. Table No. 1 below indicates the description of activities to be undertaken in the proposed safe closure and rehabilitation of dumpsite. Table No.1 Description of Activities of Safe Closure and Rehabilitation of Dumpsite

Activities Description

Construction of access road with drainage system

An internal access road will be concreted to support smooth closure and rehabilitation works as well as for future use/development, e.g., centralized composting facility. It will include a drainage system to divert surface runoff away from the dumpsite. Activities include sub-grade preparation, base correction and shoulder construction as well as pouring of 0.20-m thick concrete over 540 m2 road.

Trench excavation and backfill

As part of site preparations, about 1,612.50 m3 of earth will be excavated and backfilled. This is done primarily in preparation for laying out the leachate collection and recirculation system and partly for clearing waste deposits.

Site clearing and waste profiling: Gathering, re-grouping, grading and sub-grade preparation

The site will be cleared while waste deposits will be consolidated. Waste will be pushed to a manageable area of 2.322 hectares for final closure activities. Cut-and-fill method of grading of waste will apply. Total amount of spilled waste will still have to be estimated but target final slope will be 1:3. Whenever applicable, IWS will be hired to provide unskilled manpower.

Application of intermediate/final soil cover (clay and topsoil)

Final cover consists of a 45-cm compacted soil and 15cm thick loose topsoil. Clayey soil is available at the site. A backhoe and a truck will be used to excavate and haul these inert materials for use as intermediate/final soil cover. A bulldozer will be used to apply, spread and compact clayey soil for top/side embankment over 8,395.56 m2 of dumpsite area with recent waste dumping. Other sections within the 23,220 m2 dumpsite is already covered with clayey soil and will just be subject to waste compaction. A 0.15-cm of topsoil will then be loosely applied to the entire area.

Perimeter slope protection To further protect slope stability, a 3-m bench will be graded and planted with wedella grass (also known as creeping peanut) over 972.2 lineal meters of dumpsite perimeter. This will be applied from 0 to 3m along the slope from the base, which covers an area of 2,916.60 m2.

Leachate collection system The design of leachate collection and gas extraction system is done in

9

Activities Description

with HDPE pipes and fittings, manhole and leachate recirculation

one module, i.e., gas extraction pipes are mounted over and along leachate drainage lines. A manhole will be provided to allow for leachate recirculation thereby allowing for earlier gas production.

Installation of gas venting system

As shown in Figure 6, nine (9) units of perforated 100 mm diameter schedule 20 G.I. landfill gas extraction pipes will be placed about 50 m apart (or less) from each other. Estimated length of these pipes is 6 m but may vary depending on actual depth of the waste, which includes the portions buried in waste, soil cover layers and the exposed venting section. Each pipe is placed in concentricity with a gravel-filled dry well for protection and enhanced gas collection.

Installation of two (2) units of monitoring wells

Upstream and downstream monitoring wells shall be installed at the site to monitor any environmental impacts caused by the development works during closure. The wells will have concrete apron and barrier post. These wells will also serve for long-term post-closure monitoring of water quality around the site in preparation for future land use plans.

Installation of boundary (perimeter) fence

About 300 lineal meters of fence will be installed along the southern and eastern periphery of the dumpsite. The fence will also serve as demarcation line of the boundary of the government property. This will consist of concrete post spaced 3 m apart with barbwires placed at 0.2 to 0.3 m intervals.

The post-closure management activities will be carried out continuously after dumpsite closure such as the monitoring of the environmental condition within and the surrounding areas in order to control the potential hazard of the dumpsite. Specifically, the post closure management activities include leachate re-circulation system, gas extraction and management as well as monitoring of the soil cover. Proper recording shall be maintained. On funding, other open dumpsite closure activities not covered by the IPOPs shall be assumed by LGU- Legaspi City.

3.0 SOCIAL IMPACT/S The open dumpsite is situated in a remote location and it is devoid of community residents. There are no informal settlers residing or “squatting” in the area, thus, no residential structures either permanent or temporary in nature exists. The presence of the waste pickers in the dumpsite is limited only to a situation where the sanitary landfill facility could not be operated due to heavy rainfall occurrence. The practice of scavenging by the waste pickers according to them is centered mainly on two reasons: 1.) to search for recyclable materials to be sold to junk buyers, and 2.) to retrieve biodegradable kitchen wastes/food scraps to serve as animal feeds for swine backyard raising.

10

Makeshift resting/waiting shed out of scrap materials like tarpaulin, plastics, sacks or any related material are used and some just make use of the present naturally shaded areas to protect them from the weather elements while waiting for the expected wastes that are to be disposed. Recovered waste materials are temporarily stored on site while waiting for the junk buyers. These waste materials which are typically recyclable wastes are immediately sold to junk buyers at the end of the working day. There are about four local junk buyers from the barangay who directly transact to the waste picker to buy the retrieved recyclable wastes. While the biodegradable feedstuff are brought to their places of abode for animal feeds.

Figure No. 2: Makeshift sheds built and used by waste pickers as temporary shelter and storage area

Income gained by each waste picker from waste picking of recyclables at the dumpsite of Legaspi varies which ranges from P10.00 to 200.00 pesos per day plus food scraps for animal feeds gathered by some of them. This gain of the waste pickers from the dumpsite will cease once the open dumpsite is closed. However, social impact to the economic aspect of the waste picker will be experienced by them due to a direct loss of a certain amount which used to be a supplementary to their other income sources. Impacts to the waste pickers when closure activities of the dumpsite commence, will have minimal to significant economic effect to their lives as waste pickers will not be allowed to go to the site during the construction and engineering works for safety and health reasons thus depriving them their source of livelihood. Significant social impacts of open dumpsite closure to the affected waste pickers can be summarized as follows:

Loss of source of livelihood for 91 waste pickers who are completely or partially dependent on continued dump site operations.

Deterioration of already poor economic status of the whole family of waste pickers who sourced their means of living from waste picking; and,

Loss of financial source for 11 students to support their studies who are deriving school allowances from waste picking.

4.0 IR and IP POLICY FRAMEWORK

The Integrated Persistent Organic Pollutants Project (IPOPS) is a World-Bank -- Global Environment

Facility assisted project, implemented by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the

Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The IPOPs has five components, one of

which is financing the safe closure of dumpsites and implementation of measures to stop backyard

and open burning under Component 2: Reduction of Releases of Unintentional Persistent Organic

Pollutants, specifically, in Activity 2.3 Investments in BAT/BEP Demonstration for the Solid Waste.

The primary social impact of the closure is the direct loss of livelihoods of waste pickers and

scavengers working on the dumpsite. To address the social impact, an Environment and Social

Assessment Framework (ESAF) for the IPOPS Project is prepared, in which a Social Development

Framework (SDF) is formulated. This Social Development Framework is the equivalent of the

Resettlement Policy Framework required by the Bank’s Social Safeguard Policy O.P.4.12. IPOPS

Project Social Development Plan Framework is used for concerns on waste pickers; IPOPS Project IP

Policy Framework is used for issue on indigenous peoples and IPOPS Project Land Acquisition and

Resettlement Policy Framework is used for issues on resettlement.

A. Eligibility

Waste pickers, also called scavengers in some places, are known to retrieve recyclable and reusable

materials form mixed wastes (whether at fixed sites, such as dumps or transfer stations, or through

itinerant scavenging). Waste pickers are among the key stakeholders in solid waste management

(SWM) interventions. They usually reside in shanties located around the dump site, often are

insufficiently educated. They have limited access to basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter,

education and water. Men, women and children constitute scavengers. There are three impacts of

the project on waste pickers, these are:

1. Loss of temporary structures, and resting places. This may result from the removal of the structures in the dump site, in order to restrict access to the site; also per Philippine Laws, structures located in dump sites are illegal.

2. Loss of permanent structures and residential relocation (rare but can happen). Permanent structures, such as residences, in rare instances may be found within the boundaries of the dump site, or would be land fill site for example. In such cases, humane means of eviction, transfer, and relocation should be observed.

3. Loss of livelihoods. Where possible, full restoration of livelihoods should be observed, where it is not feasible, a number of options can be explored including prompt payment of just compensation, or replacement with comparable means of livelihood, among others.

Identification of the waste pickers is one of the activities in order to determine the qualified affected beneficiaries regarding dumpsite closure. On-site visits at the dumpsite are conducted, and necessary coordination with the key persons assigned at the disposal site is also done to provide additional information regarding the presence of waste pickers and their identification. Waste pickers were assessed through an interview with the use of a survey assessment profile questionnaire. Survey questionnaires were processed and analyzed to come-up with social characteristics information. This information were used during the conduct of a consultation meeting with them and also as basis for identification of possible government and non-government entities that would be of help in the different areas/stages of the program/project. Participatory

12

discussions were made to gather the information needed to design the appropriate and sustainable intervention to mitigate the impact of dumpsite closure on them. The City Government has spearheaded and facilitated all pertinent activities relative to this undertaking with participation and involvement of identified concerned stakeholders. The city came up with the criteria to identify who are eligible beneficiaries for this Social Development Plan particularly the livelihood projects that will be provided to them. The following are the set of criteria formulated to identify the eligible waste pickers of this Plan:

a. He/She should be waste picking for the last six (6) months at the Legaspi City Open Dumpsite;

b. He/She should be present during the social assessment activity and in at least one (1) consultation meetings conducted with the waste pickers;

c. The group of scavengers as well as the personnel at the Sanitary Landfill could attest that the person or group of persons are actually waste picking at the dumpsite; and

d. The identified waste picker is picking waste either on a regular or irregular basis.

B. Mitigating Measures

There is no land taking for the closure of the dumpsite neither any permanent structures such as

residential present. The City does not have any record of indigenous peoples (IPs) present, working

or scavenging in the dumpsite. Hence the IPOPS Project IP Policy Framework and Land Acquisition

and Resettlement Policy Framework are not applicable particular for this sub project. The social

Development Plan (SDP) however is applicable as there are around 95 waste pickers identified by

the OCENR during its baseline survey. Access to dumpsite and incomes derived from waste picking

will be lost once closed. The SDP will address the situation of the waste pickers or those engaged in

the informal collection of recyclable materials, for sale or re-use, at open dump sites, and other

points of collection, transfer and disposal through livelihood interventions and in ensuring waste

picker participation in the process of livelihood restoration.

In a series of dialogues and consultations with the affected waste pickers, livelihood projects,

employment and other alternative sources of income were explored to replace what will be lost due

to the closure of dumpsite. The following projects will be implemented: Crop Production; Buy and

sell of scraps; educational support to IWS Youth; food vending/buy and sell; and access to

employment.

C. Process The closure of the open dumpsite will entail various activities that will take into social and environmental considerations. Hereunder are activities that are necessary in the formulation of a social development and management plan for the affected waste pickers: Table No. 2 Activities to be undertaken in the formulation of SDP

Baseline survey conducted to waste pickers last January 31, February 21, and February 27, 2013 showed that there are a total of 95 waste pickers in the dumpsite, a number which has decreased by almost 21% compared to the previous baseline profile survey conducted in 2009. Results of the decrease in the number of waste pickers is due to the intervention of the LGU Legaspi City-AECID ESWM Project by including the livelihood component for dumpsite waste pickers displaced due to the operation of the Sanitary Landfill Facility. Last March 14, 2014 an interview with the waste pickers to obtain additional information such as the total household income, income from waste picking, other sources of income and preferred livelihood activities in replacement to waste picking activity was done by the OCENR staff. This latest data gathering activity revealed that four (4) of the ninety-five (95) waste pickers are not anymore into waste picking activity because three (3) of them have found work already in Manila while the other one has stopped scavenging because of old age. This leaves behind 91 waste pickers that the city will be giving intervention by providing livelihood projects, employment and other alternative sources of income in replacement to the waste picking activity that they consider as their main or additional source of income in order to address the basic needs of their everyday living. The SDP for waste pickers was updated to incorporate the data and information gathered and likewise prepared livelihood assistance to 91 IWS. In April, May and July 2015, the OCENR conducted series of consultations and field validation activities to finalize the SDP prepared. These series of activities (parallel to sub project procurement) noted 71 of the 91 waste pickers are willing to participate in the livelihood, educational and employment projects prepared in the SDP. A total of 19 IWS are no longer interested to participate, and 1 IWS is deceased. For various reasons, the 19 IWS are already employed; students completed vocational courses and are already working; some are no longer residing in the barangay and cannot be located.

14

The SDP is again updated to address loss of source of incomes and other disturbances of affected IWS. It accounts for 71 (of the 91) IWS by implementing five (5) projects namely: 1.) Crop Production; 2.) buy and sell of scraps; 3.) educational support to IWS Youth; 4.) food vending/buy and sell; and 5.) access to employment. The remaining 19 IWS, for various personal reasons, who are no longer interested were consulted and coordinated to their respective barangays to re-confirm their decision not to participate in the livelihood project. Affidavits of Quitclaim were executed for those who are no longer interested while certifications from the Barangays were issued for those who can no longer be located (see Attachment A: Affidavit of Quitclaim and Barangay Certifications)

5.0 THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

A. PROFILE OF THE AFFECTED IWS The succeeding discussions below presents the profile of the 91 waste pickers based on the baseline surveys, interviews, focus group discussions and field validation activities conducted by the city through OCENR. The waste pickers come from the four (4) barangays surrounding the dumpsite namely Banquerohan, San Francisco, Bariis and Cagbacong, all of which are barangays of Legaspi City. Among the 4 barangays, Banquerohan, where the OPEN DUMPSITE is located, has the highest number of waste pickers having 38 out of 91 total waste pickers while Cagbacong, the farthest among the 4 barangays, has the lowest having only 6 waste pickers. The succeeding table (Table 3) shows the place of residence of the 91 Banquerohan IWS. Table No. 3 Waste Pickers’ Place of Residence

Forty-nine (49) out of 91 waste pickers are male while 42 are female. Their age ranges between 10 to 65 years old, 10 being the youngest and 65 as the oldest among the waste pickers. Majority of them (77 waste pickers) falls between the ages of 18 to 59 years old while 9 waste pickers are considered as minors with ages 10 to 17 years old. On the other hand, 5 waste pickers belong to the senior citizens group with ages 60 years old and above. Table No. 4 below shows the Sex and Age of the IWS. Table No. 4 Sex and Age of Waste pickers

IWS HOUSEHOLD INCOME & INCOME SOURCES Table No. 8 shows that of the 91 waste pickers, forty-four (44) of them consider waste picking as their principal source of income while forty-seven (47) responded that waste picking is not their principal source of income. However, of the 47 respondents who go to the open dumpsite to support their main source of income, seven (7) of them go to the open dumpsite to recover food scraps for their pigs, if not sell the recovered feeds to some individuals raising hogs in their backyards, while 11 of them are students who come to the site to recover recyclable materials that could be converted into cash to sustain their studies. On the other hand, Table No.9 shows that almost all of the waste pickers have other economic activities where they could gain additional income to support the basic needs of their family. These supplementary sources of income of the IWS (and actually even their main sources of income) are not always available since almost all of them are seasonal/occasional in nature such as in farming (farm laborers are only needed during

18

planting season), labor works (construction works in the barangays are seldom available), handicraft making (only if there is a job order) and livestock/hog raising (generates an income only during production period or when the fattened hogs is ready for market), among others.

For the combined household income of the waste pickers, majority or 55 of the 64 households fall between the income brackets of below Php. 7,500.00. These 55 households are considered earning income below the poverty threshold which is Php. 7,821.00 per month for a family size of 5. Surprisingly, ten (10) households are earning above Php.10,000.00 per month, the highest income of

which is Php. 34,749.00 by a household whose sources of income are: farming, employment of 3 members of the family and income from waste picking. On income from waste picking, twenty (20) waste pickers are gaining the amount of below Php. 1,000.00 per month only. However, 9 of these are students earning below P500 in their waste picking work to address their needs in their studies.

For a more detailed information regarding the profile of individual waste picker, attached is the Wastepickers Profile presented in matrix form in Attachment B. With the upcoming closure of the open dumpsite of Legaspi City, these 91 IWS will no longer be able to gather/pick wastes, hence, a need to provide them with a livelihood based on their skills and experience. Through these alternative livelihoods, they can earn income equal to or more than the income they earn from waste picking in order to support the basic needs in terms of food, shelter and education

B. LIVELIHOOD, EMPLOYMENT and EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE for the IWS

B.1 List of Affected IWS

In April 2015, OCENR conducted consultation meeting with the affected IWS. During this meeting, it was noted that not all of the 91 IWS will participate in the livelihood, employment and educational assistance as planned by them during SDP preparation. As such, the OCENR conducted series of reviews, field work and consultations with IWS and key implementers in the succeeding months to follow through inventory of IWS and re-affirm their interest to participate in the planned projects. These follow through activities confirmed that 71 (out of the 91) IWS will participate in the planned projects in the SDP. In addition to consultation-meetings, the OCENR with the assistance of the barangay officials sought the 19 IWS who are no longer interested to participate and were asked again of their interest to join but to no avail as they reiterated their dis interest to the assistance offered to them. Table No. 11 shows the complete accounting of 91 IWS and their updated status in relation to their chosen livelihood and re-affirmed interest to participate. This updated list is a result of a series of consultation-meetings with the IWS and coordination with barangay officials where they reside. The OCENR took the lead in conducting the activities. Supporting documents such as affidavits and certifications were gathered for the purpose.

B.2 Livelihood Project Details

B.2.1 CROP/VEGETABLES PRODUCTION

The crop/vegetables production project will support a total of 37 (out of 71) IWS whose main source

of income is farming. Their farm lots are located in four (4) barangays, Banquerohan, Bariis,

Cagbacong and San Francisco, in the same areas where they likewise reside.

During consultations-meetings, the IWS-farmers expressed their interests to participate in the crop/vegetable production project since they already have experience in farming and mostly have their own farm lots. Group discussions indicated that their farm lot is not yet maximized, meaning not all of the plots are planted or farmed due to lack of capital and farm inputs. Aside from skills and experience in farming, most of these IWS-farmers are recipients of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) implemented by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) hence they have their own farm lots to cultivate. The IWS-farmers were likewise asked of their preferred crops/vegetables to be planted and identified cassava, peanut, palay and eggplant. According to them, these crops/vegetables are easier to market/sell (some already have established buyers) and they are not perishable and can be processed, hence they can be stored for a certain time and wait for a higher market price. The IWS-farmers refused to plant pechay and okra because based from their previous experience they are highly perishable and hence are forced to sell them at the market price dictates, in which most of the time very cheap. The OCENR and CAO likewise discussed and deliberated based on the current programs and projects

conducted by the agriculture office. It was noted in these consultation meetings that around 23 IWS-

farmers are identified beneficiaries of the 4Ps Program, where they will be given cash for work

assistance for cultivating cassava.

The OCENR Staff in coordination with the CAO Agriculture Technician conducted field visits to gather

additional information on the current incomes of IWS from farming and to confirm the availability of

farm lots. Of the 37 IWS around 31 IWS are currently engaged in farming rice and other crops such

sweet potato (camote), cassava, corn and chilli pepper. Harvests from rice and crops planted by the

farmer-IWS are used for personal consumption and some converted to cash or both. The remaining

6 IWS are engaged in construction and buy and sell of scraps. Of the 37 IWS beneficiaries, 23 have

farm lots under the CARP program of the DAR, 9 are tenants of private farm owner and 5 already

own their farm lots. Of the 37 IWS-farmers, eight of them are already regular beneficiaries of the

City Agriculture Office (CAO).

Table No. 13 details income from farming of waste pickers (crops currently cultivated, area/portion

of farm lot being cultivated, yield and income per cropping cycle). Based on the information

gathered, the highest IWS-farmer earns an amount of P 85,000.00 pesos per cropping cycle while

the lowest earns an amount of P 1,000.00 pesos per cropping cycle.

Crop/vegetable production livelihood project will involve provision of farm inputs and farm

techniques to maximize the potential of farm lots of the IWS in order to increase or augment their

incomes from farming to support their respective families and replace (and/or restore) incomes lost

due to closure of dumpsite.

The following are the objectives set for the Crops/Vegetables Production Project:

To provide the 37 IWS an alternative livelihood project who have the interest and skills in

farming to support their families’ needs;

To provide the 37 IWS with farm inputs such as seeds, cuttings, insecticides and fertilizer

equivalent to one (1) cropping cycle;

To provide cash assistance to indigent IWS-farmers through conditional cash

transfer/Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program or (4Ps); and

To provide the 37 IWS with proper technology on farming for their identified

crops/vegetables in order to meet the desired income for their products.

Under Crop/Vegetable Production Project, the 37 IWS-farmers will plant or cultivate four (4) types of

crops or vegetables production:

Cassava – 23 IWS-farmers

27

Rice/Palay -8 IWS-farmers

Peanut -21 IWS-farmers

Eggplant -3 IWS-farmers

For IWS-farmers who will be engaged in cultivating rice, peanut and eggplant, seed, fertilizer and

pesticides equivalent to one (1) cropping cycle will be provided. For IWS-farmers who are also 4Ps

beneficiaries and who will be engaging in the cassava production, they will be provided not only with

farm inputs but also with cash for work for the labor that will be required in the cassava production

through the DSWD 4Ps. Income derived from the harvest are expected to be re-used as seed capital

for the next cropping cycle and the succeeding cycles.

The DSWD 4Ps allocated a budget of Php 20,000.00 per IWS/4Ps beneficiaries who will be engaging

in cassava production while the city allocates at least Php 4,000.00 per IWS.

Trainings and seminars will also be conducted to equip the IWS-farmers with the necessary

knowledge and skills. To equip the beneficiaries of the livelihood projects with the necessary

knowledge and skills in order to carry out their projects effectively and efficiently, necessary

capability-building activities will be conducted to them such as mentoring/coaching, on-job trainings

and exposure trip to model farms in the area. Technology and expertise of some government

agencies and NGOs in the area will also be tapped. The city allocated Php 50,000.00 pesos for

capacity-building for crop/vegetable production project.

And other than the formal trainings, IWS-farmers will be guided and monitored in the entire cycle of

crop/vegetable production as they will be given technical knowledge (and equipment if necessary) in

land preparation, planting, cultivation, weeding and harvesting.

The following are the capacity building activities that will be conducted under the project:

Project Orientation and Planning Workshop

Training on Farm Technology

Training on Enterprise Development and Financial Management with Simplified Bookkeeping

Values Formation Training Strict guidance and assistance will be given to the IWS-farmers to ensure a good yield of crops

planted and likewise its marketing. The OCENR in partnership with the DSWD and CAO, jointly

implements the SDP. These 37 IWS, even after the cropping cycle will be considered as recipients

(and farmer partners) of CAO’s regular project activities being implemented. To reiterate

commitment of the city, it will continue to support livelihood support to IWS in the event

projected/target incomes will not be achieved. Through regular programs implemented by the city

government IWS and their families will be continuously supported, specifically and in

integrating/linking them as beneficiaries in the regular program of the City Agriculture Office, City

Social Welfare and Development Office and other government or private agencies which could

provide them with livelihood or other economic enterprise.

The city earmarked a total of Php 1.4 million pesos for the SDP implementation. For crop/vegetables

production project, the city allocated at least Php 280,000.00 and the DSWD’s conditional cash

transfer (4Ps) allocated Php 460,000.00. The overall cost is Php 742,070.00. Table No. 16 shows the

B.2.2 BUY AND SELL OF SCRAPS

There are three (3) IWS households composed of six (6) IWS individuals participating in the buy and sell of craps project. These IWS are presently engaged in the buy and sell of scrap on a small scale basis. They buy scraps within their barangay and the neighboring barangays using only a rented “padjak” (three-wheeled bicycle). With this scheme, their capacity to generate income is limited and cannot suffice the financial requirement of their respective families. During consultation meetings they identified and requested a motorized vehicle with fabricated sidecar so they can be more mobile and are able to expand their buying area for scraps thereby increasing their daily sales being sold to junkshop owners. This project estimates to replace loss of income from waste picking (2,400-6,800) amounting to Php 9,000.00.

The following are the objectives of the project:

To replace the income from waste picking and buying and selling of scraps within the open dumpsite which will be lost due to the closure of the open dumpsite;

To level up their status from waste picking and small-time buyer of scraps in the dumpsite and their neighborhood into itinerant buyers/small-scale businessmen in their community; and

To increase their income and improve the quality of life of their respective families. The buy and sell of scraps project will replace the IWS’ rented three-wheel bicycle (padyak) into a motorcycle with a built-in sidecar that will be fabricated for the purpose. In the meetings conducted with the IWS, they are agreeable to the terms and conditions of the project such as in acquiring a motorcycle which they will amortize through a financing institution. On the other hand, the City will provide the fabricated cart that will be built-in with the motorcycle as a grant to the beneficiaries.

Figure No. 3. Drawing of design of sidecar and motorcycle

To ensure that the project will be sustained by the IWS beneficiaries particularly the amortization of the motorcycle, there will be an agreement between the City Government and the IWS beneficiaries. One of the conditions to be included in the agreement will be that once the vehicle will be pulled-out by the financing institution due to non-payment of the amortization, the sidecar will also be automatically returned to/pulled out also by the City Government. It is however noted that such event will be last recourse after all efforts and assistance been explored.

33

Buy and Sell of Scrap Project cost estimate is Php 245,615.00. The LGU will provide 3 units of fabricated side car amounting to Php 36,000.00 pesos while 3 unit-motorcycles will be procured and coordinated to financing institutions (or directly at motorcycle shops/stores) amounting to Php 192,000.00.

B.2.3 EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT TO IWS IN-SCHOOL YOUTH

With the goal in mind of ensuring the education of the identified in-school youth waste pickers after the closure of the dumpsite, the project intends to provide financial assistance to them through scholarship grants that could be provided to them in coordination with various institutions such as the CHED, TESDA, Alternative Learning System of Dep-Ed, Don Bosco Agro-Mechanical Technology Center and other private institutions or individuals. In the social assessment conducted to waste pickers present at the Legaspi City Open Dumpsite in 2013, there were eleven (11) identified youths that were enrolled or studying either in the public elementary, secondary, vocational course and college within the city. They do waste picking usually on weekends to defray the cost of their studies. Sometimes they even assist to the other needs of their families.

But after almost 2 years before the project will be implemented, there were only four (4) of them remaining who are interested to be assisted with their studies. The other seven (7) IWS youth either graduated already with their studies, regularly working, no longer interested to pursue his studies and the other one (1) is deceased (refer to Table 6.1 for updated list of IWS).

Hence, the following is the list (Table No. 21) of the four (4) in-school youths who will be the beneficiaries of this Educational Support Project as part of the Social Development Plan of the IWS with their income derive from waste picking and their level of education: Table No. 21 List of IWS Youth/Student

3. Karlo Macasinag Grade 6 240 1st Year HS

4. Argie Reales 1stYr HS 800 2ndYear HS

The following are the objectives of the project:

To ensure the continued education of the IWS youth after they are displaced in waste picking where they derive their daily school allowances;

To facilitate the enrollment of the IWS youth in the schools for their continued studies; and

To provide them with financial support such as in the payment of school fees, school supplies and transportation to defray the expenses incurred in their education.

35

In order to get the necessary possible expenses that will be incurred by each IWS student in their education, the city through the OCENR Staff conducted initial meetings/consultations with them to itemize the cost that they will incur for the project. Four major school expenses will be covered by the project namely transportation, food, school uniform/supplies and school fees. Each school year level has different cost. The city in partnership with private individuals and/or scholarship grants provided by learning institutions will be providing funds to shoulder the school expenses of the 4 IWS Youth.

B.2.4 Access to Employment and Buy and Sell Projects Other than the project interventions presented above, the city will also provide other interventions to identified IWS so that their income derived previously from waste picking be replaced and, if possible, be augmented in order to improve the socio-economic life of their respective families/households. The other identified income sources are the following: Access to Employment and Buy and Sell. In Access to Employment, at least ten (10) IWS individuals will be accommodated by the city for employment in some of its facilities such as in the Organic Fertilizer Plant, and the Cassava Drying Plant. But meanwhile that these two (2) projects/plants are being processed, they will first be accommodated in the closure and rehabilitation works that will take place in the Open Dumpsite. While in Vending or Buy & Sell, there will be ten (10) IWS who will be involved. They will either sell/vend cooked or preserved food, fresh vegetables, fish, meat and other items. The city will provide each of them a seed capital amounting to Php 1,000.0 to be rolled out in order for them to generate an income for their family. It is expected that each one of them will generate an income of at least Php. 100.00 per day.

C. PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

C.1 Institutional Arrangement The planned livelihood project for waste pickers will be implemented by the City through the Office of the City Environment and Natural Resources (OCENR). Although the implementation of one of the livelihood interventions, the Vegetable/Crop Production Project, will be done by the City Agriculture Office (CAO) and DSWD’s 4Ps but still, the over-all supervision and management of the SDP for the IWS will be done by the OCENR. Hence it will closely work with the CAO regarding the implementation of the said project particularly in the aspect of monitoring and supervision. Since there are two (2) existing IWS groups in the area, one was organized by CAO under a project organized by an international NGO in 2010 and another one was organized by SWAPP for its project, hence this will be re-organized/merged or separate group will be organized to serve the interests of this Plan. The ultimate goal of which is in order to sustain the projects that will be implemented. For the identified Junkshop or Buy & Sell of Scrap, the city will also establish a partnership with junk buyers within the city. On the other hand, the city will ensure that the skilled IWS particularly the youth who graduated in agro-mechanical and other courses will be employed by the city where their skill is needed.

Regular and strict monitoring and supervision to the implementation of the projects will also be conducted in order to ensure the success of the Plan. To reiterate commitment of the city, it will continue to support livelihood support to IWS in the event projected/target incomes will not be achieved. Through regular programs implemented by the city government IWS and their families will be continuously supported, specifically and in integrating/linking them as beneficiaries in the regular program of the City Agriculture Office, City Social Welfare and Development Office and other government or private agencies which could provide them with livelihood or other economic enterprise.

The following is the proposed Project Organizational Structure to be implemented under the Social development Plan
