TITLE: Waste-to-energy ‘can’t solve’ Davao City’s garbage woes – environmental lawyer

KEY POINTS: This article shared the insights of an environmental lawyer, Mark Peñalver, executive director of the Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability (IDIS), that the proposed project of Mayor Sebastian Duterte about the Waste-to-energy (WTE) facility can't solve the problem of Davao in managing waste. He shared his knowledge about how insufficient the proposed project and as the facility burns waste to generate power, it releases harmful toxins, which pose a threat to air quality, water, food, and human health. Moreover, the problem of Davao City in managing wastes still continues as the allocated landfills over Davao City are overflowing and is dangerously lacking of more space for more wastes.

TITLE: Let’s take a trip to forever, the unfinished roads

KEY POINTS: President Rodrigo Duterte has warned contractors working under the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The contractors have been given 30 days to complete all unfinished road projects, failing which they will face severe consequences. Several roads across the country have remained incomplete for extended periods, earning them the moniker "forever roads." These include the Sta. Cruz Bridge in Davao del Sur, a multi-million barangay road in Tres Marteres Cavite abandoned for a decade, and the Inawayan road in Darong, Sta. Cruz, among others. Netizens, who had lost hope over unfinished road projects in their areas, were delighted by the news and shared photos of the perpetually incomplete roads.

TITLE: IN FOCUS: Massive floods and typhoons in Southeast Asia drive home the need to adapt to climate change

KEY POINTS: This article tackles about how the sustainability of infrastructures in the Philippines is at risk due to the heightened intensity and unpredictability of typhoons. Traditional structures and preparations may not be adequate in the face of these evolving weather patterns. Moreover, the reported events emphasize the urgent need for sustainable infrastructure development and planning that takes into account the changing climate patterns to mitigate the potential damage caused by increasingly intense typhoons. The article mentions the ripple effect of typhoons, such as Rai, that affected many regions in the Philippines, including Surigao Del Norte and Dinagat Islands that caused many infrastructures to be ruined.

TITLE: Mindanao Railway project phase 1 halted due to 'China's waning interest' over PH infra program | ANC

KEY POINTS: The Mindanao Railway Project phase one was halted due to China’s waning interest in the PH infrastructure program. The Department of finance said that it is no longer inclined to continue the funding for the Tagum-Davao-Digos segment or the Mindanao Railway project. According to a statement from the Philippine transportation secretary, The Chinese government was given a month to confirm whether they were able to support the project. He also mentioned the cancellation of projects from different regions. The Phillippine government was at a disadvantage when China’s exit bank demanded interest rates higher than 3%.

TITLE: Philippines: Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Social Fund Project

AUTHOR: World Bank

The region suffers from poor infrastructure and inadequate basic services, such as health and education, poor local governance and a weak private sector. Armed conflicts, including the struggle for self-determination by Moro groups, clan disputes, communist insurgency, and banditry, among others cause severe economic and social displacement. 13 infrastructure projects have been completed, including the creation or renovation of 5 hospitals, 3 port facilities, 3 centers for education and manpower development, 1 social support facility, and 1 information and communication technology building. A significant vocational training facility for the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority in ARMM is part of this infrastructure, which helps young people in the area receive skill-building opportunities. The region suffers from poor infrastructure and inadequate basic services, such as health and education, poor local governance and a weak private sector.

The main challenge in the region is reducing poverty and achieving lasting peace to help ensure inclusive growth. The provinces of ARMM (Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-Tawi) are among the poorest in the Philippines with poverty incidence ranging from 29.8 percent to 53.7 percent in 2009, compared to a 26.5 percent poverty incidence for the entire country for the same period.

The region suffers from poor infrastructure and inadequate basic services, such as health and education, poor local governance and a weak private sector. Armed conflicts, including the struggle for self-determination by Moro groups, clan disputes, communist insurgency, and banditry, among others cause severe economic and social displacement. This situation in turn results in long-term poverty and deprivation from adequate schooling and healthcare and drives the population to sell their valuables or go into deeper debt to meet basic needs. Hostilities in 2000 and 2008, for instance, displaced about 900,000 people.
Solution
Using a community-driven development approach, communities identify their own problems and design and implement their own solutions for projects that include water supply and sanitation, small-scale irrigation, community health stations, schools, post-harvest facilities, farm-to-market roads, bridges and rehabilitation of homes damaged by armed conflict. In addition to community infrastructure, the program promotes literacy and numeracy for older women and widows, as well as for out-of-school youth and orphans.

An equally important approach to improve governance and strengthen institutions, especially in conflict-affected areas, was recognizing the efforts of local officials in the ARMM who promoted transparency and accountability in implementing the project. The project in particular, provided a performance-based grant to local authorities who showed effective and transparent allocation and management of public resources related to the project. (Approved in 2002, the project was intended to strengthen the ARMM as part of the national government's commitment to promote greater autonomy, improve local governance and promote peace and development in Muslim Mindanao.)
Results
Implemented by the ARMM Social Fund Project Management Office under the ARMM regional government, the project has achieved the following results so far:

* Approximately 755,656 people in conflict-affected areas have greater access to social and economic services from completed community-based projects such as water supply and sanitation, farm-to-market roads, learning centers and schools.

* Approximately 23,000 older women, including widows and indigenous peoples, and almost 5,000 out-of-school youth and orphans participated in functional numeracy and literacy classes to give them the basic skills needed for jobs and increased incomes.

* Completion of 13 infrastructure projects: construction or rehabilitation of 5 hospitals, 3 port facilities, 3 Education and Manpower Development Centers, 1 Social Support Facility and 1 building for Information and Communication Technology. This infrastructure includes a major vocational training center for the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority in ARMM to provide skills training for youth in the region.

* Technical assistance extended to an estimated 28,000 (mostly women) supports small business planning for livelihood activities such as selling agricultural goods and running small retail stores.

* The project promotes food self-sufficiency and nutrition through home gardening, livestock-raising and fish-pond tendering.

TITLE: Davao Samal Bridge Project

AUTHOR: David Ezra M. Francisquete

The Samal Island-Davao City Connector (SIDC), popularly known as the Davao-Samal Bridge project, has been suspended several times due to difficulties acquiring right-of-way (ROW) involving different land owners within Davao's jurisdiction. As a result, there is no certainty when work on the project would resume. Due to disagreements with two or three landowners near a pier in Lanang, Davao City, the SIDC construction was put on hold on January 3, 2024, further delaying the project's completion.

KEY POINTS: The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) 2013–2022 was created by Davao City. It hasn't, however, firmly directed urban development efforts in the direction of the specified land use plan. In addition, the city has not yet created a detailed long-term plan to build its urban infrastructure using this CLUP as a guide. With the Poblacion arranged as its urban center, the city has adopted an established monocentric urban structure.

TITLE: Inequality to worsen if Bangsamoro literacy, infrastructure not improved

KEY POINTS: This addresses the poor literacy and infrastructure of Bangsamoro Region, highlighting how 25% of Mindanaoans, especially Moros and indigenous peoples, face widespread illiteracy and poor infrastructures. The World Bank's 2017 Philippines Mindanao Jobs Report highlights "severe underinvestment" in infrastructure, education, and health, limiting growth opportunities for Mindanaoans. According to the Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy (PCID) president and founder, Amina Rasul Bernardo, failure to address illiteracy and lack of infrastructure in Mindanao would widen the gap of inequality and will leave behind many Filipinos in the southern part of the Philippines. Luzon and Visayas, mainly Manila, were already into the Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIRe), while Mindanao, mostly in muslim areas, were still grappling to an actual revolution.

TITLE: Neglecting Mindanao

KEY POINTS: Way back in 2013, in terms of infrastructure and economic growth, Mindanao was always left behind. Mindanao faces serious poverty challenges, with the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) having the highest poverty incidence at 52.9% in 2012. Moreover, the worsening poverty in Mindanao is attributed to neglect, peace and order issues, and inadequate infrastructure, including electricity supply. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects show a bias toward Luzon regions, calling for a more balanced distribution of essential infrastructure projects since 2013. The text calls for a removal of bias against Mindanao in the provision of essential public infrastructure, suggesting a need for more balanced distribution of projects across different regions. In summary, the text suggests that addressing regional disparities, improving infrastructure in neglected regions like Mindanao, and ensuring reliable electricity supply are crucial for overall economic development and poverty reduction.
