Dear Engr. Landia:
Mabuhay!
I am pleased to submit herewith the attached Feasibility Study (FS), Detailed Engineering Design
(DED) and other supporting documents for the Rehabilitation/Concreting of the Tabigue –
Balocawehay Farm to Market Road (FMR) which the LGU of Abuyog, Leyte is proposing for
funding under the I-BUILD Component of the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) this year.
The sub-project is a critical component of our strategic focus on Rice and Coconut as the principal
agricultural commodities from which to anchor the economic development of our municipality. The
sub-project will effectively link the rice and coconut producing beneficiary barangays to the open
markets in Leyte province and is expected to further enhance the development of these industries of our
municipality.
The municipality’s focus in promoting rice and coconut is directly in harmony and aligned to the
priorities and development direction of the Provincial Government of Leyte which likewise identified
rice and coconut as the main crops to promote in the province.
Lastly, the LGU of Abuyog has already allocated a counterpart funding for said sub-project equivalent
to ten percnt (10%) of the total project cost.
We fervently hope for the most favorable I-BUILD/PRDP action and approval of our sub-project
proposal. Thank you and God bless.
Truly yours,
Hon. OCTAVIO J. TRAYA, JR.
Municipal Mayor

I. Project Profile
Municipal Profile of Abuyog, Leyte
1.1 Brief Historical Background
When the Spaniards landed at Homonhon Island in Samar, they found no potable water.
Some of the crews sailed westward to look for water and landed on the shores covered
by a swarm of bees. Surprisingly, the headman accompanied by his tribesmen met the
Spaniards cordially. When the Spaniards asked the natives about the name of the place,
the natives replied: “Ah, Buyog!”- thinking they were asked about the swarm of bees on
the seashore. From then on, the Spaniards called the place “Abuyog”.
Abuyog became a Spanish “encomienda” as early as 1591. Encomiendas are large
estates, assigned to “encomenderos” (Spaniards) for their care and administration and as
a reward for their services to the Spanish crown. After the abolition of encomiendas, local
governments called alcaldias (provinces) and pueblos (towns) were established. In 1885,
Abuyog became a pueblo when the Presidencia building was complete. Abuyog was
finally incorporated into a municipality of the Province of Leyte, Philippines by virtue of RA
No. 2565 enacted by Congress without executive approval on June 21, 1959.
Abuyog became a 1st class municipality in 2002. It has a total budget of Php175.5 million
in 2014. It is comprised of 63 barangays of which 22 are coastal and 41 are upland
barangays. In the 2012 Regional Social & Economic Trends (RSET)-Eastern Visayas, a
publication of the National Statistics Coordination Board (NSCB), Abuyog has a total
population of 55,509 living in 12,431 households and with an average household size of 4.5
persons. It is one of the most progressive and rapidly developing municipalities in Leyte
province in spite of the generally poor conditions of its hinterland barangays.
Abuyog is located at the eastern part of Leyte along the seacoast of Leyte Gulf and the
Pacific Ocean. It is 61.62 kilometers to Tacloban City, the regional center, along the
Philippine-Japan Friendship (Maharlika) Highway. See Exhibit 1.
1.2 Barangays
Abuyog is politically and administratively subdivided into 63 barangays, nine of which are
classified as urban barangays and mostly located within the poblacion area, while the
other 54 are generally rural barangays located in the outlying areas of the municipality.
(See Exhibit 2.)
Table 1 shows the names, classification and population characteristics of each of the
barangays of Abuyog.
Balocawehay is the biggest barangay in terms of population with 3,490 residents living in
766 households and the smallest is Mahayahay with only 160 residents in 40 households. In
terms of land area, Pinamanagan is the largest with 2,985 hectares while the smallest is
Nalibunan located in the Poblacion with only a little over 10 hectares.
The barangays covered in this sub-project are Brgy. Canmarating with 1,021 inhabitants in
243 households and Brgy. Can-aporong with 490 residents in 92 households.

Abuyog has five soil types distributed in the different barangays at varying volumes and
degrees. Table 6 shows the soil types with areas in hectares in decreasing order. Exhibit 5
depicts the Soil Map of Abuyog.
An analysis of the different soil types prevailing in the municipality of Abuyog is basic to the
determination of the suitable agricultural production expected. Soil fertility is relatively high
considering that silts and other fertile soil colloids from the upland areas are carried and
deposited by the various river systems into the low lying areas especially during rainy
seasons and seasonal flooding.

1.9.5 Employment and Income Sources
As an agricultural town, most of the employed persons are engaged in farm crop
production, livestock & poultry raising and marine & inland fisheries. While on-farm
economic activities are the principal sources of employment and income of the
people in Abuyog, off-farm and non-farm economic activities are good contributors
to the local economy. As shown in Table 14, these sub-sectors employed 5,407 and
provided an aggregate income of almost Php 17.5 million in 2010.

II. Project Background and Rationale
2.1. Statement of the Problem and Opportunities
The current state of barangay roads of the municipality of Abuyog can be generally
described as follows: there is lack, inadequate and poorly maintained barangay road
networks, including farm to market roads, that connect barangay crop production centers
to Abuyog town proper and markets. This is due to inadequate funds of the local
government of Abuyog to properly maintain these roads.
The following are the dire consequences:
a)
b)
c)
d)
High cost of transporting production inputs like seeds and fertilizers into farms;
High cost of hauling agricultural outputs from the farms to markets;
High cost of operating transport vehicles due to frequent maintenance
Longer travel times and unsafe, inconvenient trips
These consequences serve as disincentives to farmers (and investors) to produce and
invest more due to transportation problems and high costs in bringing their produce to the
market. The proposed project would greatly enhance crop production and movement of
goods and services within and outside of the target areas.
2.2 Strategic Direction of the Municipality of Abuyog
All the programs and projects of the municipality of Abuyog are grounded on its vision and
mission. Quoted hereunder are its Vision and Mission Statements, as well as its Goal and
Objectives, as reflected in its 2014-2016 Executive and Legislative Development Agenda:
2.2.1 Development Vision of the Municipality of Abuyog:
“Peaceful, agro-industrialized and self-reliant Abuyog with disaster-resilient, healthy
and empowered citizenry living in a developed eco-tourist destination and
environment-friendly community.”
2.2.2 Mission Statement
“Promote peace and order, develop infrastructure and agro-industrial technologies,
provide employment opportunties and deliver quality socio-economic services
through active participation of politically matured leaders and constituents who shall
be disaster-resilient and endeavor to protect and maintain a well-balanced
environment.”
2.2.3 Goal
“To transform into a climate-proofed eco-tourist destination and business-friendly
municipality and convert its barangays into high value crop and food producers
thereby creating livelihood opportunities to every Abuyognon.”
2.2.4 Objectives
a)
b)
c)
d)
To increase investments for domestic tourism, commerce and trade;
To provide efficient infrastructure facilities and utilities so as to attract investments;
To generate employment and livelihood opportunities;
To increase productivity levels of major food, high-value fruits and crops;
18 | P a g e
A Feasibility Study: Rehabilitation/Concreting of Tabigue - Balocawehay FMR
e) To develop, protect and regenerate the coastal and forest resources;
f) To provide incentives to individuals/corporations who shall be exemplars in disaster
risk reduction and climate change adaptation best practices;
g) To improve the delivery of basic services to alleviate or reduce poverty.
2.3 Sub-Project Objectives
The LGU’s Objectives (b) and (d), which articulate advancing infrastructure development
to support the growth of its agriculture sector, find congruence and support from “the
Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP), a 6-year program designed to establish the
government platform for a modern, climate-smart and market-oriented agri-fishery sector.
In partnership with the LGUs and the private sector, PRDP will provide key infrastructure,
facilities, technology, and information that will raise incomes, productivity, and
competitiveness in the countryside.” (PRDP Brief, 05 June 2014).
In 6 years the program intervention would have achieved the following general objectives:
 Increased annual real farm incomes of PRDP household beneficiaries by at least 5%;
 Increased income of targeted beneficiaries of enterprise development by at least 30%;
 Increased value of annual marketed output by at least 7%;
 Increased number of farmers and fishers with improved access to DA services by 20%.
This sub-project, concreting of the Can-aporong-Canmarating FMR, is primarily intended
to contribute to achieving a robust and sustained agro-industrial development and selfsufficiency in major agricultural crops like rice, corn, vegetables, poultry and livestock
being enjoyed by healthy, strong and GOD-fearing Abuyognons. It is directly aligned to
the development priorities of the Provincial Government of Leyte which identified coconut
and rice as principal crops to propel the economic development of the province. The subproject area is mostly planted to coconuts and rice. The proposed FMR will therefore
directly benefit the coconut and rice farmers, as well as barangay residents by way of
providing convenient, cost-effective and safe access to said areas.
With the rehabilitation and concreting of the road network linking the two barangays to
the poblacion of Abuyog, the following specific objectives shall be achieved:
a. Reduced vehicle operating costs of transport operators and road users by at least 50%;

2.5 Description of the Priority Value Chain to be Served by the FMR
The proposed road sub-project is a critical component of LGU-Abuyog’s strategic focus on
coconut and rice as the principal agricultural commodities from which to anchor its
economic development. The sub-project will effectively link the coconut and rice
producing beneficiary barangays to the open markets in Leyte province and is expected
to further enhance the development of the coconut industry of Abuyog. The municipality’s
focus in promoting coconut and rice is directly in harmony and aligned to the priorities and
development direction of the Provincial Government of Leyte which likewise identified
coconut and rice as the main crops to promote in the province.

3.2 Analysis of Road and Transport System (without and with road improvement)
3.2.1 Present road network condition
The Tabigue-Balocawehay road section is an existing 2.0237-kilometer road that
connects the two barangays to the Abuyog-Mahaplag portion of the national
highway. It is a Barangay Road/Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) classified as “earth road,
not passable.” There is no existing bridge along the said road.
The road is in a very sorry state, and over time has slowly deterioted into a trail because
of vegetation covering most of the road. This is due to neglect because of inadequate
funds of the local government to properly maintain the road section. The road is also
repeatedly damaged due to heavy rains. It is hardly passable to 4-wheel drive type
vehicles. It is passable to single type motor vehicles during dry season only.
Despite the bad shape of the road, it connects the two barangays’ crop production
areas to the town proper which is the market center/trading point.
3.2.2 Availability of public transport vehicles
The transport system consists mainly of single motorcycles for hire (“habal-habal”) and
tricycles. There are only occassional cargo trucks and jeepneys because most of the
road is impassable year-round.
3.2.3 Seasonal Impassibility of Road Site
The road segment is generally passable to “habal-habal” and other vehicles yearround but the said road section is slippery and dangerous to motorists on rainy days
and very dusty during hot days.
3.2.4 Alternate route/s used within the project area and their condition
There is no alternate route being used in the area.
21 | P a g e
A Feasibility Study: Rehabilitation/Concreting of Tabigue - Balocawehay FMR
3.2.5 Availability of Other Modes of Transport which Tend to Compete with the Project
There are no railways or new road infrastructure projects currently on-going within the
RIAs that may compete with the proposed sub-project. The proposed FMR will not
compete but rather will complement other sub-project FMRs that might be pursued in
advancing the total socio-economic development initiatives of Abuyog.
3.2.6 Existing modes of transport and hauling of passenger and cargo
The table below summarizes the results of a traffic survey conducted on November
2014. It shows that the most popular mode of transport between the two barangays is
“habal-habal” or single motorcycle for hire because of its flexibility and serviceability.
This validates the information that habal-habal constitutes the principal mode of
transportation going to and from the two beneficiary barangays. Occasionally, a few
trucks and jeepneys come to the barangays to haul agricultural products primarily
coconuts, rice and corn as well as farm inputs and other items. There are also nonmotorized vehicles being utilized by farmers and barangay residents like animal
(carabao)-drawn carts and bicycles.

3.2.7 Current trip volumes, destinations, travel times, volume /capacity ratios
To determine the current volume of vehicular traffic going through Brgys. Tabigue Balocawehay, an actual traffic flow survey was conducted for seven (7) days from
November 24 to 30, 2014 starting at 4 am up to 10 pm daily. The above table also
summarizes the results of the survey.
3.2.8 Analysis of how the proposed road facility will close in the gap in Infrastructure
Development within the area in terms of generated, induced and diverted traffic
The proposed road sub-project connects the two barangays to the national highway.
Concreting the road will significantly cut travel distance (and time) to the town proper.
Once the sub-project is completed, farmers and residents of the two barangays will
greatly benefit from it. Consequently, significant reduction in travel times by more than
50% (from 10 minutes to 4 minutes) and savings in transportation/ hauling costs will be
realized. On the other hand, with the improved road, transport operators will realize
substantial savings due to less frequent maintenance of their vehicles. Moreover, the
improved road would induce more transport vehicles to ply the said route.
22 | P a g e
A Feasibility Study: Rehabilitation/Concreting of Tabigue - Balocawehay FMR
B. Technical Analysis
4.1 Horizontal Road Alignment
The proposed road will have a right of way of 8 meters wide, consisting of a 5-meter
concrete paved carriageway and 1.5 meters shoulders on both sides. It will start from Brgy.
Tabigue to Brgy. Balocawehay where it will be connected to an existing concrete paved
road that links the barangay to the town proper of Abuyog. There will be no curve widening
and side cuts to be done as there are no sharp curves exist.
4.2 Vertical Road Alignment
The proposed project starts from a generally flat terrain with some rolling areas to hilly
portion having a maximum 1.0 percent gradient and these will be downgraded to the
required grade elevation. There will be some minor side cuttings to be done in other areas
to bring the road to its correct grade level.
4.3 Drainage Analysis/Hydraulic
Some portions of the existing foot-trail path in Brgy. Tabigue and Brgy. Balocawehay is
flooded during heavy and continuous downpour, particularly the lowland which serves as
the catchment of the run-off water from the hillside. The flooding, however, subsides in a
few hours after the heavy downpour stops. To mitigate the flooding of the road, Reinforced
Concrete Pipe Culverts (RCPCs) will be installed/constructed at waterways road crossings.
4.4 Geotechnical- Soil and Foundation Analysis
The soil classification map of the province indicates that the Leyte Clay Type of soil is
prevalent in the project area with an American Association of the State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) soil classification rating of A-7 which means that the soil
has a liquid limit of 41 min and a plasticity index of 11 min. It is clayey type of soil with a
general subgrade rating of fair to poor.
4.5 Structural Analysis- Pavement Thickness
With a recorded average daily traffic (ADT), a 0.15-meter thick, 5-meter wide carriageway
is the recommended program standard. And the construction of the pipe culverts will
adhere to Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Standards.
4.6 Location of Quarries, Borrow Pits and Construction Materials
The proposed construction of the existing and deteriorated gravel road will use base
course and aggregates that will be sourced from the municipality of Abuyog in Leyte
which is just within the locality. The materials will be hauled from the source site at Leyte
and delivered to the project site using 10 cubic meter capacity dump trucks. Adequate
supply of these aggregates is guaranteed as Leyte is the main supplier of these resources
all over the region, with existing quarries. Base course that will be used for subgrade
preparation will also be sourced from Abuyog area.
4.7 Items of Work and Cost
The total project cost for the 2.0237-kilometer road is Php 15,102,142 or a unit cost of
Php7,462,639 per kilometer. Table 19 shows the cost per item of work of the project.

A Feasibility Study: Rehabilitation/Concreting of Tabigue - Balocawehay FMR
5.1.1 Pre-Investment Phase
The Pre-Investment Phase requires the conduct of in-depth studies and analysis of the
feasibility of the proposed project from the economic and engineering perspective. It
involves preparation and formulation of the necessary project feasibility study (PFS) and
detailed engineering designs (DED) leading to eventual approval of the project by the
DA-PRDP and by the funding agency the World Bank (WB). The critical units and
persons involve in this phase are the Municipal Planning and Development Office
(MPDO) as the lead unit, Municipal Engineers’ Office (MEO), Municipal Agriculturist
Office (MAO), Municipal Treasurer’s Office (MTO), Municipal Accountant (MA),
Municipal Budget Office (MBO) and Municipal Assessor’s Office (MAO).
5.1.2 Project Execution/Implementation Phase
This Phase involves conduct of public bidding by the Bids and Awards Committee
(BAC), awarding of contract to the winning contractor, project execution and
implementation, monitoring and evaluation and fund releases and liquidation among
other necessary and critical activities leading to project completion and acceptance.
BAC is the lead unit during the bidding and awarding process while the MEO takes over
project management during actual project implementation.
5.1.3 Post Project Implementation Phase
The last Phase basically involves proper use and maintenance of the road network after
project completion and acceptance. This requires the conduct of routine and periodic
maintenance activities. Routine maintenance work entails routine cutting and clearing
of vegetation and debris, repair of road shoulders, culverts, side ditches and canals,
filling of potholes and other minor road and maintenance repair jobs. This is highly labor
intensive work and should fall under the direct responsibility of the Brgy. Chairmen and
the host Barangays.
On the other hand, periodic maintenance entail more extensive work and require the
use of equipment and machineries not available within the Barangays as well as
substantial budget to carry out the task. Thus, the LGU of Abuyog must assume this
responsibility alone or in cooperation and partnership with the Provincial or National
Government.
5.2. Plan for Management during Construction, Key Roles and Responsibilities and
Implementation Arrangements
A Municipal Project Management and Implementation Unit (MPMIU) shall be created by
the Municipal Mayor through an Executive Order to carry out the project activities and
accomplish the corresponding outputs during the pre-investment, project implementation
and post-implementation stages of the project as shown in the Project Organization,
Critical Activities and Project Output Chart (Exhibit 7).
The MPMIU shall be under the direct supervision of the Municipal Mayor with proper
authority and policy direction support from the Sangguniang Bayan (SB). The MPMIU shall
be headed by a Project Manager who shall be tasked with the day-to-day operations
management of the Project. The unit shall be supported by the different critical operating
units/officers of the LGU such as the Municipal Planning Office, Municipal Engineer’s
26 | P a g e

5.3 Collection of Road Users Fees and Other Policies
The Local Government Code of the Philippines empowers the Barangays to collect fees
from vehicles plying the route regularly such as delivery trucks that collect coconuts and
other agricultural products from the barangays and nearby areas and deliver basic goods
to the households. Thus, Barangays Suba, Kanangkaan, San Vicente and San Juan may
pass Barangay Road Users’ Ordinances to generate additional income for the barangays
that they may use for the repair and maintenance of the FMR.
5.4 Project Implementation Schedule
The proposed project shall be awarded and contracted to the lowest winning bidder as a
result of a Public Bidding conducted by the BAC in accordance with the Philippines and
World Bank Procurement Guidelines.
Project implementation shall commence seven (7) days after issuance and receipt of the
Notice to Proceed (NTP) by the winning Contractor up to the estimated project completion
period of 80 calendar days.
5.5 Project Monitoring and Supervision
Project Monitoring and Supervision shall be the responsibility of the Municipal Project
Management and Implementation Unit (MPMIU). Specifically, the Project Manager,
Municipal Planning and Development Officer (MPDO) and the Municipal Engineer/ Officer
(ME/O) who are key members of the MPMIU shall comprise the Project Monitoring and
Supervision Team (PMST) for the project. The PMST will be complemented by the Mayor
who shall be doing her own monitoring on the progress of the project being the Local Chief
Executive (LCE) of Abuyog LGU, the principal project proponent. The Sangguniang Bayan
(SB) shall also monitor the progress of the project on account of the authority it shall give
to the Mayor and for its own legislative agenda.

5.6 Operation and Maintenance Scheme
Operation and maintenance work on the FMR shall be the joint responsibilities of the
Abuyog LGU and the beneficiary Barangays. As such, both local government units shall
allocate its own yearly budget for the operation and maintenance of the FMR to ensure its
long term usability and sustainability. Table 22 depicts the annual maintenance budget
matrix.
Road maintenance works are categorized as Routine and Periodic Maintenance. Routine
Maintenance is done every quarter and is normally labor-intensive. Works involve
vegetation control, cleaning and repair of culverts, reshaping of side ditches and canals,
filling of ruts and holes among others. With this kind and magnitude of maintenance works,
the barangay beneficiaries would be the logical holder of this responsibility. It would even
strengthen their chance to pass a Barangay Ordinance to collect road users’ fees from
motorists that use the FMR regularly.
Periodic Maintenance on the other hand, requires more extensive work and use of
equipment that are not normally or readily available in the barangays. Thus, the LGU of
Abuyog on account of its financial and management capability must assume total
responsibility for this kind of maintenance work.

D. Social Analysis
6.1 Project Beneficiaries
The project will directly benefit Barangays Tabigue and Balocawehay. The two barangays
have a combined population of 4,767 of which 2,454 (51.5 %) are males and 2,313 (48.5 %)
are females living in 1,046 households. (Please refer to Table 26 on page 37 on population
within the Road Influence Area Barangays). Majority of the beneficiaries are farmers
engaged in the cultivation of rice, coconuts, corn, vegetables and root crops. The
beneficiaries are eagerly awaiting the implementation of the project considering that the
road segment has been in a sorry state of disrepair for a long time.
The constituents of Brgys. Balocawehay and Tabigue were consulted on March 23, 2015 to
generate opinions, comments, views, endorsement and approval by the barangay
officials and residents relative to the project. Those were joint consultations per barangay,
namely, Barangay Council Consultation and Barangay Residents Consultation, attended
by barangay officials and residents including women. A team from the LGU-Abuyog
conducted the consultations and briefing.
During the open forum, questions raised by the attendees mainly centered on where is the
start and end (or length) of the road project and when will the project construction start.
They also expressed their anxiety that the 2-km. road project might end up into only a 200meter finished road, hinting of corruption in project implementation. The LGU team ably
answered all queries and gave assurance that the road project will have desired results.
After a thorough and exhaustive discussions on the matter, the Brgy. officials and residents
unanimously approved and endorsed the project. The Resolutions of the Sangguniang
Barangays and the Minutes of Barangay Assemblies and consultations are found in
Annexes 2-I and 2-J.
6.2 Indigenous Cultural Community/Indigenous Peoples (ICC/IP)
The sub-project will not infringe or disturb any indigenous cultural community since there
are no cultural minorities living within the area. Likewise, the sub-project will not encroach
or traverse in any ancestral domain considering that there are no ancestral domains in the
whole of Region 8.
Nevertheless, the Abuyog LGU has requested for a Certificate of Non-Overlap (CNO) from
the National Commission for Indigenous Peoples (NCIP). Likewise, the Municipal Mayor
issued a certification that the re is no existing indigenous cultural community or settlement
within the municipality of Abuyog. (See Annex 2-H).
6.3 Site and Right-of-Way Acquisition
The proposed site is an existing 2.02370 kms. barangay road. The right-of-way has been
acquired during construction of the road opening under the previous InFRES program. The
LGU-Abuyog was able to secure 10 meters of right-of-way through donation and/or
acquisition and the owners were properly compensated, so there is no need to secure
another right-of-way since the proposed sub-project will only have a maximum of 8 meters
width inclusive of 1.5 meters shoulder on each side of the road. (The RROW Certification,
Tax Declaration showing MLGU ownership on the acquired RROW and Parcellary Map are
shown in Annexes _______________.)
32 | P a g e
A Feasibility Study: Rehabilitation/Concreting of Tabigue - Balocawehay FMR
6.4 Damage to Standing Crops, Houses and/or Properties
There are a few new growth coconut trees in the shouder of the barangay road as well as
shrubs and grasses. These need to be removed. There are minor structures like waiting shed
along the road shouder but such is made of temporary and light materials that can be
easily removed. All the safeguards necessary for the removal of the impediments shall be
complied with accordingly by using Form 1 & 2 for SES.
6.5 Physical Displacement of Persons
There are no houses that will be affected or relocated during the project so no persons will
be displaced during and after project completion.
6.6 Economic Displacement of Persons
Being an existing road, no persons will be economically displaced or alienated from their
traditional livelihoods during construction. On the contrary, local residents may find direct
or indirect opportunities as laborers, workers and vendors among others during the road
project implementation.

E. Environmental Assessment
7.1 Natural Habitat
The proposed project is not within any protected area or wild life sanctuary nor will it entail
cutting of trees therefore, the natural environment will not be disturbed or affected in any
manner.
7.2 Physical Cultural Resources
There are no historical, cultural, monuments and other physical structures of national
cultural value within the project area that will be affected by the rehabilitation and
concreting works.
7.3 Terrain, Soil Types and Rainfall
The terrain in the project area is basically flat and sprawling fertile plains with no hills nor
mountainous. The whole land area is within the 5% slope limit which is generally flat.
There are five types of soils within the sub-project area. Soil fertility is relatively high
considering that silts and other fertile soil colloids from the upland areas are carried and
deposited by the various river systems into the low lying areas especially during rainy
seasons and seasonal flooding.
The area has no pronounced wet and dry season. Rainfall is almost evenly distributed
throughout the year with an average rainfall of 167.4 mm with maximum rainfall usually
recorded in the months of November to February. Minimum rainfall (100mm/month) usually
occurs in the months of April to May and August to September. There is no single dry month
in these areas. The cool months are October to December each year.
7.4 Drainage Situations and Flooding Potential
With rains evenly distributed throughout the year, the road surface areas and road
shoulders are always under threat of rain water and flooding. These will be mitigated by
introducing road cambers leading the water runoff immediately outside of the roadway
into the intercepting canals and drainage outlets and own to the receiving rivers and
streams. Likewise, trees shall be planted at the edges of the road shoulders to mitigate the
flow of rain water to the road surface and shoulders.
7.5 Impacts During Construction
7.5.1 Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control
Erosion and sediment control in construction areas will prevent sediment discharge to
nearby streams and rivers. Areas cleared of vegetation for construction and roadway
development would be minimized and slopes would be stabilized. Overland drainage
would be controlled to prevent channelling and sediment transport by diverting flows
from areas where soils are exposed, and/or by providing filter barriers or settling basins
to remove sediment before the runoff is discharged to surface waters.
34 | P a g e
A Feasibility Study: Rehabilitation/Concreting of Tabigue - Balocawehay FMR
7.5.2 Construction Noise Mitigation
There are houses and establishments along and nearby the construction site especially
along the built-up areas. The construction involves the operation of heavy equipment
and will undoubtedly generate loud noises. As a mitigating measure, work activities
should be avoided during quiet periods of the day.
7.5.3 Proper Handling of Construction Wastes
The sub-project will generate surplus common excavation materials and debris.
Disposal sites have been identified to haul these surpluses outside the limits of the road
right of way. This will minimize the amount of site litters and will prevent the
indiscriminate dumping of surpluses along the roadsides. Assurances is made by the
LGU that these wastes will be collected and properly disposed of in accordance with
government regulations.
7.5.4 Public and Worker’s Safety
Safety of workers and the public is a must and shall be given utmost priority. Standard
construction safety protocols shall be observed and enforced at all times, such as
posting of road signs, among others.
7.6 Status of Environmental Clearances
The LGU-Abuyog has been issued a Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC) by the EMBDENR (see Annex 2-D). Likewise, it has pending applications for Environmental
Clearance Certificate (ECC), Quarry Permit (QP) and other government regulatory
clearances required for this project. It is expected that all these clearances will be
obtained by the LGU before actual project implementation.

G. Economic Analysis and Evaluation
9.1 The Project Influence Area
9.1.1 Agricultural Production in the Project Influence Area
Barangays Tabigue and Balocawehay are the direct road influence areas of the subproject. They are part of the identified economic growth zones in the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan (CLUP) of the municipality.
Table 25 shows the major agricultural crops of the two barangays. Rice (palay) is widely
produced with a combined area of 462 hectares devoted to it. The next major crop
cultivated is coconut (copra) with 353 hectares. Total area cultivated for the top 5 crops
(including corn, abaca and banana) is around 868 hectares.

It can be observed from the table that rice ranks as the top source of income of the
farmers. Total annual rice production reached 3.97 million kgs. valued at around
Php107.2 million. Coconut/copra production contributes almost Php17.0 million while
corn with Php 0.863 million. Abaca adds Php 0.75 million and banana with Php 0.456
million. Total value of all crops combined is over Php 126.23 million.
9.1.2 Population within the Direct Road Influence Area to Benefit from the Road Project.
The RIA of the proposed sub-project covers the entire geographical and administrative
boundaries of Brgys. Balocawehay and Tabigue.
The two barangays have a combined population of 4,767 of which 2,454 are males and
2,313 are females. There are 1,046 households with average household size of 4.56 as per
DILG-Abuyog’s CBMS Statistics Simulator in 2008. The annual population growth rate of
1.01% which is average for the whole municipality of Abuyog is nearly identical to that of
the whole Leyte province of 1.04%. Economically active population, which is 35% of total
population and are 15 years old and above, is 1,668 persons. Please refer to Table 26 on

Note: Rapid appraisal (actual survey) on traffic flow conducted on November 24-30, 2014.
Several modes of transportation are present in the area. Among these, the most
common is “habal-habal” or single motorcycle with 39 units in operation. There are 15
tricycles, six trucks and two jeepneys in operation. There are also four private vehicles
cars. These vehicles are expected to increase in number over the years when the
concreting of the road will be finished.
9.1.4 Transport Fares, Distances Travelled, Travel Times, by Motorized Vehicles
With improved road conditions, farmers and other residents will be able to transport their
farm products, farm inputs and other commodities faster, cheaper and easier. Results of
a rapid appraisal (actual survey) on traffic flow conducted in November 2014 were
summarized in Table 28.
The transport fare for cargo (per sack) and passenger (per head) are not differentiated
for all types of vehicle at Php 30.00. It is expected that transport fares will be reduced
once the rehabilitation and concreting of the sub-project is completed.
39 | P a g e
A Feasibility Study: Rehabilitation/Concreting of Tabigue - Balocawehay FMR
Differences in travel times in minutes, without and with project, was also determined. It
takes an average of 10 minutes to traverse the road section with the current/existing
conditions (“without project”) using “habal-habal” as vehicle. On the other hand, it is
expected that with the project, travel time will be reduced to only four (4) minutes.

9.1.5 Commuter Time Savings
With improved road condition, commuters within the influence area will be able to
benefit from the reduction in their travel times. As shown in Table 29, the savings in travel
times to traverse the road section (one way) were converted as percent share of saved
time for work.
The table also shows average of two (2) trips per person per day, a 240-day work year
and average daily wage rate of Php 257. Commuter time savings expectedly could
translate into benefits to the economically active residents.

9.1.6 Benefits of Newly Cultivated Agricultural Land
The rehabilitation and concreting of the road will stimulate the cultivation of potential
land areas for agriculture. Considering the top two (2) profitable crops of the two
barangays, at least 5 additional hectares can be developed for rice cultivation and at
least 2 hectares per year for the next 5 years, or a total of 10 hectares for coconut.
Considering all relevant costs (land development, production and marketing), these new
cultivated lands have the potential to generate additional revenues/benefits to the
locality and the municipality as a whole.

9.2 Economic Benefits
The road concreting sub-project when completed will certainly bring tangible and intangible
socio-economic benefits to Barangays Balocawehay and Tabigue and the municipality of
Abuyog as a whole.
The quantifiable benefits ensuing from the project completion are the following:
9.2.1 Vehicle Operating Cost Savings (VOCS)
This was calculated from the projected average annual daily traffic data multiplied by the
vehicle operating cost difference (changes in VOC with and without project scenarios)
and the actual road length.
9.2.2 Transport Cost Savings In Hauling Agricultural Outputs And Inputs
For the purpose of estimating this benefit, only the top three agricultural commodities of
the area (rice, coconut and corn) were considered. The benefit was computed based on
the difference in hauling cost under current and improved (concrete) road conditions
multiplied by quantity of produce that is to be marketed. Likewise, savings in hauling costs
of inputs of production to the farm was also computed using the changes in transport costs
with and without the road project multiplied by the estimated quantity of required inputs,
primarily fertilizers and seeds.
9.2.3 Reduction In Travel Times From Farm To Market In Subproject Areas
The savings in travel time is derived by using the assumption that commuters will benefit
from the changes (reduction) in their travel time, which would translate to increase in
productive time per capita.
9.2.4 Incremental Increase In Crops Production Attributed To Newly Opened Croplands.
Benefits that can be derived from potential agricultural areas that can be cultivated and
used for additonal crop productions (primarily coconut and rice) because of the subproject were also included.
9.2.5 Other benefits
Other benefits that may happen once the road section is fully rehabilitated and concreted
under the proposed project are the following:

Increase in volume of commerce and trade for local products, basic commodities and
manufactured goods;

Increase in the number of passenger motorcycles, cargo trucks and private vehicles
plying the area;

Increased traffic volume of people, goods and services traversing the road section

Government services delivery will be more efficient and accessible for and by the
people living in the area;

Pre- and post-harvest facilities and extension services will be improved;

More primary, secondary and tertiary employment will be generated;

School participation rate among pre-elementary, primary and secondary school
children will increase.

9.4 Direct Jobs from Construction
The LGU of Abuyog will see to it that residents of the RIA barangays and/or nearby barangays
will have priority for employment as laborers in the road sub-project implementation. The subproject would need skilled laborers (66% of total labor cost) and unskilled workers (34% of total)
for a total economic cost of labor at Php 240,809.
Unskilled laborers will be assigned as helpers in road concreting, installation of drainage
facilities, and as helpers to heavy equipment operators. Skilled laborers will be hired as team
leaders for various works and as operators of heavy equipment.
9.5. Adjustment of Financial Values to Economic Terms
The total financial cost amounts to Php 16,256,109.60 which comprises the materials,
equipment and labor costs, as well as overhead, contingencies & miscellaneous expenses,
contractor’s profit, and 12% value-added tax. The cost of feasibility study, detailed enginnering
design preparation and engineering supervision is also included, although it is to the account
of LGU-Abuyog. Using the necessary conversion factors provided by PRDP, financial cost is now
adjusted to total economic cost of Php 13,526,993.88. Please refer to Table 32.

Results of the Economic Analysis
The results of the economic analysis are very encouraging.
9.6.1 Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR) = 37.32 %
The EIRR equates the present values of the net incremental benefits with the
amount of the initial investment; that is, it is that rate which makes the net present
value (NPV) equal to zero. The computed EIRR of the proposed sub-project is
37.32% which is more than double the required 15%.
9.6.2 Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) = 2.42
BCR is the ratio of the present value of gross benefits to the present value of its cost.
It should be >1 for a project to be considered favorably. The BCR of the proposed
sub-project is 2.42 evaluated using 15% discount rate. In simple terms, for every
Php1.00 of cost, the benefit is equivalent to Php 2.42.
9.6.3 Economic Net Present Value (ENPV) = Php 19,957,413.00
ENPV is the difference between the present worth of the benefits that the project
is expected to yield and the present worth of the construction and maintenance
cost incurred. The ENPV evaluated at 15% discount rate is Php 19,957,413.
9.7 Economic Sensitivity Analysis Results
Sensitivity analysis is being done to test the susceptibility of the proposed project to changes
in variables that directly affect its economic viability. The resulting EIRR, ENPV and BCR are then
evaluated as to the required rates or amounts. These are also compared to that of a base
scenario (no increases nor decreases).
43 | P a g e
A Feasibility Study: Rehabilitation/Concreting of Tabigue - Balocawehay FMR
Table 33 shows that in all test case scenarios, the EIRR, ENPV and BCR results remain at
acceptable levels. Even with a delay of benefits for 2 years and no benefits accruing from new
agricultural areas cultivated, the indicators are way above the required rates. Hence, the
project proved to be generally robust and unwavering to changes.

H. Conclusions and Recommendations
10.1 Conclusions
The findings of this study are very conclusive and serve to reinforce the initial stand that the
proposed sub-project is feasible in all aspects of marketing, technical, operational, social and
environmental dimensions. Moreover, the results of the financial and economic analysis all the
more support this contention.
