ii. Economy
Samar is basically an agriculture, fishery, and forestry-based province.
Agriculture and fisheries directly account for about one third or 38 percent of the
total economy. It contributes PhP 3.83 billion to the provincial income and directly
employs 65,549 families.
Employment by sector in the province is mostly distributed to agriculture,
forestry, and fishing. Other source of income for the people of the province are
services, manufacturing, commerce, transport and communication, and
construction.
iii. Agriculture and Rural Development Sectors
Agriculture
Based on the 2012 data of the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) the major crops
grown in the province are: coconut, banana, palay, cassava and camote. Coconut is
traded in the form of copra. In palay, rainfedcontributed more than 80 percent of
the total palay production. The volume of fishery production for the past five years
(2009-2013) averaged at 46,502 metric tons with municipal fishing sharing 65 percent
of the total volume of production (Figure 2).

Banana is one of the major crops in the province producing about 260,116 metric
tons in 2012. The estimated banana area is 5,287 hectares (SAFDZ Data, 1999) of
which 3,897 hectares were damaged by typhoon Yolanda (DANA, December
2013) and a total of 11,205 farmers were displaced/affected. The total area that
need immediate rehabilitation in this project is 175 hectares of the 722 hectares
affected in the six municipalities. Banana areas need immediate rehabilitation and
open an opportunity for the farmers to immediately recover from their losses. It is
important to provide assistance for the banana farmers especially that there are
exporters of banana flour and first fry banana chips that may help the
development of our farmers and the agricultural sector.

Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
The province of Samar had proposed for the banana rehabilitation and trading
project under the I-REAP. There would be a federation of organized farmers’
association to establish strong market between the producers and buyers through
the trading center. The present practice is that transient buyers/ businessmen
from the neighboring city of Tacloban usually buy directly the banana from
farmers at a price dictated by these businessmen, at PhP 50.00 to 60.00 per bunch
regardless of size. Farmers could not control this situation due to the necessity of
cash for their daily needs coupled with the thought that if they will transport
these bunches of banana themselves they still could not earn higher due to
transportation cost. Given this situation, our farmers are at a loss because the
income they receive would not compensate their farm labor.
Rural Development Sectors
Samar is very much behind in terms of development compared to the other
provinces of the country. It is one of the poorest and it lacks what is considered a
primary component of development – ROADS!!! In 2010, the total road length in
the province, consisting of national, provincial, municipal and barangay roads,
was recorded at 622 kilometers while the total area of the province 5,591 square
kilometers or the road density is only 11.13 kilometer per square kilometer of
area.
The inadequate road network and the poor and deplorable conditions of the
existing ones contribute more to the worsening poverty situation in the province,
where the recorded poverty incidence is in increasing trend from 27.5 percent in
2003 to 36.9 percent in 2009 and then to 50 percent in 2012.
The agriculture sector, which constitute more than one third of the provincial
economy and where the bulk of the impoverish population eke out their living is
wanting of this market support- ROADS!!! The absence of roads in production
areas make it very difficult for farmers to access government services and the
market – fueling further their reluctance to improve the level of their production.
The lack of this is the cause of the very high transportation cost and the
consequence is underdevelopment.
The proposed project area has an existing all weather farm-to-market road 25.64
kilometers and 10 meters wide. It has been left unattended or unmaintained for so
long a time that the thin gravel surfacing had been washed out during torrential
rains and what remain now in most sections of the road length are soil or ground
surface if not trails or grasslands or bushes.

B. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION PROFILE
i. Expanded Vulnerability and Suitability Assessment Map (E-VSA) Map and
Statistics
Paranas is a 2nd class municipality wherein its agricultural crops especially banana
was badly damage when the 315 kilometer per hour wind packed Typhoon
Yolanda ravaged the province.
The Lipata to Casandig I Farm-to-Market Roadproject is located in the northeast
portion of Paranas. It has an agricultural area of 2,026.43hectares which directly
benefit six impoverishedbarangayswith a total population of 6,296 and
comprising of 1,157 households.
The concreting of the 11.468 kilometers farm-to-market road will hasten
agricultural development in the area. Economic activities will perk up, and the
delivery of basic social, health, and agricultural extension services will be
immensely improved. Increase in the market value of agricultural lands will also
follow, thus increasing the income of the LGU in the form real property taxes.
ii. Value Chain Summary
This farm–to-market road project supports the Banana Production and Trading
Enterprise Project (I-REAP) by contributing to the reduction of production cost
and improving market accessibility for the banana production and trading,
respectively.
iii. Commodity Profile
Samar is one of the poorest provinces in the country, also growing banana, a
popular, staple and marketable long term fruit crop for local consumption and
export market. The Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS, 2013) reported that two
varieties of banana, Lakatan and Saba were produced in the province, with high
production record posted at215,053 metric tons in 2011 and 260,116 metric ton in
2002 in 2013, respectively. Considering that the province is located in a typhoon
belt area, banana serves as one of the most resilient fruit crop for sustainable
agriculture development, food security and poverty alleviation program (Figure
3).
Recognizing the socio-economic, health and nutritional importance of banana in
the local and export market, thus, the Local Government Unit of Samar take the
challenge and opportunity to address and provide contribution of the
fundamentally short supply of banana in the local and the world market. Hence,
this proposed project generally aims to contribute a medium for agricultural
development by introducing a very lucrative banana business industry in
Page 7 of 54

uncultivated and underdeveloped areas particularly in Paranas where big track of
idle and grassland remain potential for industrialized banana plantation. The IREAP of Samar intends to support Paranas into a BETTER PARANAS with the
new landscape of agriculture by fully utilizing agricultural lands with the end
view to increase income and employment in the rural communities, food security,
poverty alleviation and sustainable agriculture development

ii.Description of the Current Road Network Condition
Majority of the roads in the subproject influence areas are all-weather roads and
concreted footpaths. During rainy season particularly on months of June to
November, problem in transportation is being encountered by the populace.
Unavailability of four wheel-vehicles is experienced. The transport cost of the
basic commodities escalates.
iii.Demand Side 1
The desired roads, bridges and transport system in the -RIA by road type and
classification – with project scenario is the concreting of the 11.468 kilometers farmto-market road in the subproject areas which will hasten agricultural development.
Economic activities will perk up, and the delivery of basic social, health, and
agricultural extension services will be improved. Increase in the market value of

Side- from the supply side or current road network by type and classification in terms of total kilometers, what
now are the total kilometers per road type of the desired road network after lining several proposals for PRDP funding. For
new construction, there will be increase in length of concrete roads however for rehabilitation, there will just be increase in
concrete road length and an equivalent reduction in either earth or gravel road length or decrease in both types to be
shown in the table.

iv. Desired Road Network Condition
Table 9shows the desired road network condition in the project influence area visa-vis accessibility of the road to market centers/trading points. Changes in the
road network particularly in the Barangay/FMR that increases the number of
kilometers on concrete under passable column indicating a change from 41.82
kilometersto53.288kilometers with the completion of the proposed 11.468
kilometers project.
The hauling of agricultural inputs will be easier and less expensive. This will
reduce travel time of the commuters, improve delivery of basic services, and
improve peace and order condition in the area, and, the development of idle lands
for agricultural use. Farmers will be interested in expanding the land area, for
rice, corn and gabiother high valued fruits since the market or trading points for
these agricultural products which are in Paranas-the municipal center or in
Catbalogan City- the provincial center or in Tacloban city –the regional center can
now be reached in a shorter period of time.
With the improved condition of the roads in the sub project area, public transport
operators will be encouraged to ply the area because of the projected increase in
farm production and passenger count.
v.AvailabilityofLand and Water Public Transport
Presently, only single motorcycle or habal-habal is used to transport passengers
and farm produce to the market because of the difficulty of navigating the road
when using four wheel vehicles.
vi. Demand-Supply Analysis
Page 15 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
With the completion of the subproject or the improvement of the existing road
into a concrete paved farm-to-market road, access to the market and to the
government centers for basic services will be year round whether it will be during
rainy season or dry season.
vii. Projected Traffic Volume
Table 24 shows the existing mode of transport in the area and their average
number of daily trips. Considering the motorcycle,jeepneysand trucks mode of
transport, there are 185 motorcycles, 20 trucks and10 jeepneysin the project areas
making a total of daily average oftwo tripsper day. With the completion of the sub
project, the average number of trips of motorcycle alone will increase totwotrips
per day.
This shows that there will be an increase in traffic count by almost 100 percent.
This applies to other mode of transportation like the hired motorcycles, the jeeps
and truck haulers- there will be a significant increase in the traffic count when the
sub project is completed.
B. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
i. Horizontal Road Alignment
The proposed road will have a right of way of 10 meters wide, consisting of a five
meter concrete paved carriageway, 1.5meter shoulders on both sides and one
meter wide canal on both sides. It will start from Brgy. Lipatawhere it will be
connected to an existing concrete paved road that links the barangayto the town
proper of Paranas.
There will be no curve widening nor side cuts to be done as these were taken up
or done during the construction of the existing gravel road and no permanent
road obstruction/s will be encountered for the same reason.
The sections of the road with curvatures that do not meet the minimum radius
required under the program because of the limited area available for a regular
design road, due to natural field condition, will be widened by paving the
shoulders on both sides to compensate for the required area/as mitigating
measures.
ii. Vertical Road Alignment
The proposed project is located in a generally flat terrain with some rolling areas
having a maximum 12 percent gradient. There will be no major downgrading to
be done as this was undertaken during the construction of the existing gravel
road which is now substantially in its correct vertical alignment.
Page 16 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
There will be some minor side cuttings to be done to bring the road to its correct
grade level. The excess borrow, if ever there will be, will be deposited in the
identified borrow pit.
iii. Drainage Analysis/Hydraulic
Because of the proximity of the proposed project to a major river systems
(UlotRiver) the road become flooded during heavy and continuous downpour.
The flood though, subsides in a few hours after the heavy downpour stops.
To mitigate the flooding of the road, Reinforced Concrete Pipe Culverts (RCPCs)
and Reinforce Concrete Box Culverts (RCBCs) were installed/constructed at
waterways road crossings. Slope protection and line ditch canals were also
constructed in critical areas/sections of the road.
iv. Geotechnical- Soil and Foundation
The soil classification map of the province indicates that the Catbalogan Clay
Type of soil is prevalent in the project area with an 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 a clayey type of soil with a general subgrade rating of fair to
poor.
v. Structural Analysis- Pavement Thickness
With a recorded average daily traffic (ADT), a 0.15 meterthick five meter wide
carriageway is the recommended program standard. And the construction of the
box culvert and other drainage structures will adhere with the Department of
Public Works and Highways (DPWH) standards.
vi. Location of Quarries, Borrow Pits and Construction Materials
The proposed rehabilitation and improvement of the existing and deteriorated
gravel road will use base course and aggregates that will be sourced from the
municipality of Palo in Leyte which is about 113 kilometers from the project site.
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 coarse that will be used for subgrade preparation will also be sourced from
Barangay Tutubigan. The excess borrow will be deposited in identified borrow
pits near the project area.

Public Consultation
Public consultations were held in November 17 and 19, 2014in the five
Barangays of Salay, Minarog, Tutubigan, Casandig I and Casandig II to present
the road project to the populace in the influenced area. The assemblies were
attended by 558 persons with 244 males and 314 females). The attendees include
the concerned barangay constituents, barangay officials, the municipal officials
and the provincial personnel who are in charge of PRDP.
In that consultation, which was attended mostly women who have expressed
their desire to improve their living conditions, the proposal to construct a farmto-market road that would link the farthest Brgy. Tutubigan to Casandig I and
would pass through the intermediate barangays of Minarog, Salay and Lipata
was identified as the priority need of the constituents in order for them to have
good access to the town proper of Paranas where the center of the economy and
government services are situated .
The beneficiaries’ accepted the proposed project.The concern on RROW was
discussed and because of the acquisition of RROW was already concluded in the
in the previous project (gravel road) it will pose no problem in this case. And if
there will be encroachment (fence), the affected beneficiaries have agreed to
remove these at their own expense.
ii. Indigenous Cultural Community/Indigenous Peoples (ICC/IP)
The project site is not inside an ancestral domain hence no indigenous cultural
communities/indigenous people (ICCIP) will be affectedin the implementation
Page 29 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
of the project. The proponent requested, through a letter, the Commission on
Indigenous People for a certification to this effect and we are now waiting for its
issuance.
iii. Site and Right-Of-Way Acquisition
The right-of-way and site acquisition is no longer an issue in this project as these
were addressed during the pre-construction phase of the previous FMR project.
The ROW is now the property of the Municipal Government of Paranas. This
was acquired during the implementation of the previously INFRES funded
farm-to-market road project.
The proponent will submit the following documents to prove ownership of the
RROW:
1. Sangguniang Bayan Resolution – attesting ownership of the ROW of the
project FMR
2. Minutes and Attendance Sheets – of the consultation meeting conducted
in the area for the enlightenment of the constituents on the PRDP and the
right-of-way of the project.
iv. Damage to Standing Crops, Houses And/Or Properties
Damage to standing crops, houses, and/or properties is no longer an issue in
this case because what we have here is an existing but deteriorated farm-tomarket road (gravel road) that is to be improved into a concrete paved farm-tomarket road. No standing crops nor properties are within the right-of-way
except for the above-mentioned.
RROW problems were encountered in Barangay Salay to Minarogwhere an
electric power post was also noted to have been erected within the RROW. Some
coconut trees in Brgy. Casandig I to Lipata have been planted within the RROW.
These problems have been discussed during the public consultation held in
November 17 and 19, 2014. On the other hand, SAMELCO II, the power
cooperative servicing, was also requested, through a letter for the transfer of the
electric post outside the RROW.
v. Physical Displacement of Persons
The physical displacement of persons is not an issue in this case as there will be
no persons that will be displaced in the implementation of the project. Instead
the people will stay in the project area because of the benefits that the project
Page 30 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
will unfold to them like livelihood services, social services, government services,
and access to markets.
vi. Economic Displacement of Persons
No livelihood of the beneficiaries will be affected in the implementation of the
project, hence no economic displacement of person/s in the project area will
happen. Instead, economic activities will advance as farmers will be motivated
to produce more – given the benefits they will enjoy from the project when it is
completed, i.e. accessibility of market, savings in transportation costs, drastic
reduction in travel time, easy access of government services to the area, opening
of new opportunities for livelihood projects for the mothers/women in the area,
etc.
E.ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
i. Natural Habitat
No natural habitat will be encroached into nor be destroyed when the project
start construction because the project site is not inside an officially declared or
proposed area of a protected natural habitat. The project will pass through
agricultural lands, i.e. coconut lands, rice paddies, upland rice farms, banana
and rootcrops plantations, grasslands and open spaces that are potential for
agriculture expansion.
ii. Physical Cultural Resources
The project will not affect any physical or cultural resources or structures as
there are no sites, structures, groups of structures, and natural features and
landscapes that have archaeological, paleontological, historical, architectural,
religious, aesthetic, or other cultural significance in the area.
iii. Terrain, Soil Types and Rainfall
The project site is characterized by rolling terrain with a maximum gradient of
about 12 percent. The soil type in the project area is classified as Catbalogan
ClayLoamandBigaa Loam. It is observed to compose primarily of clayey soil
with a general sub-grade rating of fair to good.
Two types of season normally occur in the project area – the dry and the wet
seasons. The rainy season starts in May and normally ends in December with
pronounced heavy rainfall occurring during the months of November that
sometimes last until January. Heavy rainfall causes flooding of the area of up to
5 meters.
Page 31 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
There are no available rainfall data for project area but only the provincial data.
Rainfall in Samar is abundant all year round which ranges from 2,577.6 to
5,227.2millimeters annually in the past ten years covering 2003 to 2012 (Table 17)
and above the national average which varies from 965 to 4,064 millimeters
annually. These translate to a mean annual rainfall of about 3,273.38 millimeters
for the entire province.
Records of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services
Administration (PAGASA) Catbalogan Weather Station show that the greatest
amount of rainfall was in February 2008 recording a monthly rainfall of 1,111
millimeters, which was attributed to continuous heavy rains during the
northeast monsoon or “amihan”. Extreme rainfall such as this is considerably
intense and could trigger flooding and destroy agricultural crops especially in
the low lying areas.The least amount of rain was recorded in February 2010, is
only 7.90 millimeters because of the occurrence of “El Niño” which lasted for
five months from February to June. The lack of rain could result to the reduction
of water supply should thus be considered in the allocation and use of land.

iv. Drainage Situations, Erosion and Flooding Potential
Historically, the area particularly Barangays Tutubigan and Casandig I
experienced flooding in the past because of the presence of Ulot River.High
Page 32 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
flooding of more than one meter depth is seasonally experienced in Barangay
Tutubigan and Casandig I affecting the households along the river banks.
To mitigate the flooding of the road, the construction of the old road (gravel
road) included the installation of single barrel and double barrel RCPCs in
waterways road crossings.These drainage systems in the area are still functional
but will still need an additional RCBC, slope protection and line canal.
Based on the Results of the MGB Geo-hazard Mapping and Assessment of
Barangays in Samar Province the subproject is assessed as not susceptible to
landslide/erosion.
v. Status of Environmental Clearances
The proposed project will have a concrete carriageway and would require
therefore a Certificate of Non-Compliance/Environmental Compliance
Certificate (CNC/ECC) from the DENR before the start of the project.
In this regard, the Provincial Government has applied for the required clearance
from the Environment and Management Bureau of the DENR. The Bureau have
scheduled an inspection date of the site and the proponent is coordinating with
them for the conduct of the same.
Additionally, coconut trees have been observed to been grown within the
RROW. Tree cutting permit is being secured from the PCA for the coconut trees
to be cut. Coordination with the PCA for the release of the permit is on-going to
see to it that the trees would have been removed prior to the start of the project
implementation.
Required Permits
Environmental Compliance Certificate
The proposed rehabilitation of the above-mentioned FMR does require an ECC
or a CNC per DENR Administrative Order No. 2003-30 because it is an existing
all weather road.
Governor’s Permit
The winning contractor must secure a Governor’s Permit for sand and gravel
extraction as part of the construction materials or may directly purchase from
the sand and gravel concession owner/dealer.
Page 33 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
Tree Cutting Permit
Along the ROW are coconut and other trees that need to be removed. However,
an ocular inspection and validation will be conducted by the DENR personnel
prior to the start of the project to insure that the ROW is cleared from trees. A
request for clearance to cut trees was sent to the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources for the removal of the same.
vi. Social and Environmental Impacts
a. Step-By-Step Activities Which Will Likely Impact in the Locality
The construction of the project requires the following step-by-step activities
which will likely have impact on the locality and its adjoining area and the
corresponding mitigating measures are identified in the attached SEMP (Figure
5).
Step 1. Clearing and Grubbing. This is the removal of grass, weeds that have
grown in the RROW which is 10 meters wide and 11.468kilometers long.
Step 2.Excavation.The removal of soil and other sub-grade elements to prepare
the ground for the construction of the box culvert. This also pertains to the
removal of roads sections containing heavy moisture and its replacement with
common borrow.
Step 3.Embankment.Embankment is the addition of soil and base coarse
materials compacted to a certain degree to meet the required width of the road
at a desired grade.
Step 4. Sub Grade Preparation. This is the laying of item 105 over the entire road
section and compacting them to the desired compaction level to meet the desired
road sub-grade elevation.
Step 5.Aggregate Base Course.This is an aggregate surfacing (item 200)
compacted to the required degree of compaction in preparation for the Portland
cement concrete pavement placement. The base coarse will have a 0.15 meter
thickness on the carriage way extending 1.5 meters on both shoulders of the
road.
Step 6.Concreting.This is the mixing of sand, gravel, cement and water to a
desired consistency and its placement on top of the base coarse which will
ultimately serve as road carriageway.
Page 34 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
This is about Portland cement concreting pavement. This will entail the mixing
of sand, gravel and the Portland cement.
a. Air pollution will directly affect the workers only. Houses are situated
about 30 meters away from the project site and will not be affected by the
pollution.
b. Noise disturbance will not be a problem during the construction of the
project as it will be done away from the communities.
c. Waste pollution especially those generated by proper disposal of used oil
will be eliminated as the maintenance of the equipment will be done
before the start of the project and the disposal of waste used oil, if ever
there will be some, will be done appropriately.
d. Riprapping have already been done during the construction of the allweather road in steep areas to prevent landslide/erosion with a length of
30 meters and 1 meter in height.
e. Rehabilitation of overflow which includes increasing the length of apron
in the form of a hydraulic jump. This is to counter the effect of scouring
during the flooding.
f. Part of the road maintenance is the establishment of road canal linings on
both sides especially on steep grades where scouring is evident.
Step 7.Rehabilitation of Overflow.The length of the apron will be increased
through a hydraulic jump to counter the effect of scouring during flooding.
Step 8.Drainage Canal. To maintain the good condition of the road, drainage
canals will be established on both sides. But in area where there is a side cut, one
side canal lining shall be constructed.
b. Environmental Impacts and the Recommendations
The preparation of the Environmental and Social Management/Mitigation Plan
(ESMP) was based on the following Assessments:
Wildlife Habitat. There is no impact on forest habitats as the proposed project
will be implemented in area far from wildlife habitats. There will be no wildlife
displacements and no cutting of endangered tree species.
Page 35 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
Trees that will be cut along the road must be replaced by the proponent by
planting endemic tree species along riverbanks or the 10 meters easement area.
This will protect the river banks from potential erosion. It can also protect the
area from potential flooding.
Water Contamination. The soil type of the area of the proposed project is
generally loose and has great potential for erosion or landslide during heavy
rainfall. This may bring sedimentation to the river systems. Another possible
source of sedimentation is the excavated soil which can be carried by rain to the
river systems. These can affect the existing freshwater species and its habitats.
To prevent sedimentation, the proponent will designate an area where excess
material excavated will be deposited at least 5 meters from the roadside and far
from the rivers and must be in low lying areas to prevent it from flowing to
water sources. Areas with steep gradient will be rip-rapped or planted with
natural vegetation known as natural matting to prevent soil erosion and
landslide. Canal linings will also be established to provide an area for water flow
or flow diversion. It can also serve as part of the road maintenance and will
ensure that sediments will not directly flow to the river systems. Filter barriers
or settling basins for sediments removal must also be established in strategic
areas of the project undertaking.
Waste discharge mostly in the form of motor oil must be prevented as this can
contaminate water sources. Heavy equipment is likely to contribute this kind of
waste hence the proponent shall ensure that equipment maintenance must be
done away from the area especially when the equipment needs to change oil.
As the project construction will last for a year, fecal waste is likely to be
generated from those people involved in the construction. It must be imperative
that water contamination caused by fecal waste must be prevented. Temporary
“toilets” will be established far from water sources, especially that for drinking
water.
Air Pollution. The proposed project will be established 30 meters away from the
nearest houses. Pollution effects must be considered carefully to protect those
that will be exposed. Naturally, the pollution that will be generated during
excavation and during the mixing of concreting materials will directly affect the
people involved in the construction activities. Those involved must be provided
by the proponent with helmets, mask and other protective gear known as
Protected Paraphernalia’s Equipment.
Noise Pollution. The project will be using heavy equipment that can generate
noise. While the project may be 30 meters away from the nearest household, it is
Page 36 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
still imperative that the proponent must regulate the noise that may be
generated by noise emitting equipment. It is recommended that the activities
must be conducted during daytime so as not to disturb the sleeping hours of the
communities and those involved in the construction.
Disruption of traffic flow. A parking area must be designated by the proponent.
This will ensure that traffic flow will be smooth during the duration of the
project.
Sign boards/Billboards. To inform the communities about the on- going project
and provide guidance/ safety of those residing within the vicinities of the
proposed project, billboards shall be placed in strategic locations. The
Environmental Compliance Certificate issued by the EMB shall also be
displayed.
Solid waste management. The project will not only generate air, water and noise
pollution, but is also expected to generate solid waste. Among these solid wastes
are plastic containers of motor oil, empty sacks of cement and other waste by
people involved in construction activities. To prevent litter and secure garbage,
trash and solid waste during the construction phase, a Material Recovery Facility
must be established as part of the solid waste management by the proponent.
Training on waste management must be provided by the proponent to the
communities and to the project implementers. This will ensure that both the
project implementers and the communities understand the possible
environmental and health impacts of the project and thus endeavor to minimize
if not prevent any negative impact.

iii. Status of LGU Equity Availability and LFC certification
The LGU equity for the project will be sourced from a loan to be secured by the
Provincial Government from the Development Bank of the Philippines. A
machine copy of the SangguniangPanlalawigan Resolution No. 14-130-14 dated
September 4, 2014, authorizing the Governor to negotiate for a loan to be used as
equity for the project is hereto attached. Similarly, a certification from the bank
indicating eligibility to apply for the loan is hereto attached also.
G. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
i. Economic Benefits
The following are the benefits accrued for this project:
1. Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC) Savings. VOC Savings is calculated from
the projected average annual daily traffic data multiplied to the vehicle
operating cost difference (changes in VOC in with and without project
scenarios) and the actual road length.
2. Savings in Hauling Farm Output. Savings in Hauling Farm Output is the
difference between the cost of manual hauling and the projected transport
fare using the improved road multiplied by the travelled road length and
the amount of produce that is to be marketed, less that portion of the
produce saved for consumption and production.
3. Savings in Hauling Farm Input. Savings in hauling farm inputs of
production to the farm is computed using the changes in transport costs
under and without the road project multiplied to the estimated number of
required inputs for each crop, whether fertilizer, planting materials or
seeds.
4. Savingsin Travel Time of Commuters. The savings in travel time is
derived by using the assumption that commuters will be able to acquire
Page 42 of 54
Feasibility Study for the Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I
Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
benefits from the changes in their travel time, which would also result to
the increase of productive time per capita.
5. Benefits from Newly Cultivated Agricultural Land.Benefits from potential
agricultural land areas that can be readily cultivated and used for other
high yielding agricultural crops that have high market indices.
6. Savings in Reduction in Post-Harvest Losses. Lastly, the reduction in the
post-harvest losses is computed by multiplying the estimated percentage
of reduction in post-harvest losses from the total volume of production
marketed per crop.
a. Production Level Withinthe Direct Road Influence Area
Tables22.1 to 22.8 show the major agricultural crops being produced in the direct
influence area are marketed outside or within the project influence area. Rice has
the highest volume of production of 1,423,240 kilograms, followed by coconuts
with production of 1,016,235 kilograms, corn with 646,768 kilograms, gabi
248,010 kilograms, and camote with 181,050 kilograms, cassava 133,095
kilogramsand abaca with 1,836 kilograms.
Only 70 percent of rice are being sold in the market, the rest are being consumed
by the farm producers.
Of total area planted to crops of2,026.43 hectares, 711.62 hectares is devoted to
rice production and the rest are planted to rice, corn, abaca, and other crops.

c. Existing Vehicular Traffic Based On Traffic Survey Results
Table 24 indicates the existing vehicular traffic based on Traffic Survey Results 3
and indicating representative vehicles, passenger occupancy/average load by
vehicle type, average daily trips, and the average traveled distance
The usual mode of transportation that can be seen in this sub project area is the
animal hauling of goods; and if the goods are less than 50 kilograms, people
carry it on their backs. There are motorcycles exclusively for personal usage of
the owner and motorcycles for hire or “habal-habal” but these are operating
during dry months or good weather.

d. Transport Prices by Animal/Manual Haulers
At present, the transport cost of inputs ranges from PhP30.00/sack to
PhP40.00/sack for animal hauler while PhP40.00/sack PhP50/sack for human
hauler (Table 25).
With the project, transportation cost is projected to reduce significantly by 30
percent from its present rate (Table 23). The farmers and local residents will
travel faster from the farm to the barangay proper and to the nearest pick up
farm product location due to the road widening. Likewise, the people will have
the option to transport their farm inputs and outputs and other marketable
commodities to the market centers using bigger vehicles like jeepneys and trucks
rather than merely animal driven, manual labor, or habal-habal.

e. Commuter Time Savings
With improved road condition, commuters within the influence area will benefit
with the reductions of their travel time. Without improvement, the travel time
from the town properexperienced by laborers, teachers and other service
providers ranges from10 to 110minutes, but with the concreting of the road,
travel time is projected to reduce for at least 5-60 minutes per person and 55.56
percent as the highest saving time or 50.97 percent asaveragesaving time(Table
26).

f. Benefits of Newly Cultivated Agricultural Land 5
The construction of the road will bring about cultivation of potential areas for
agriculture, specifically banana, corn, cassava, and camote production and other
high-value crops. Output of which will greatly benefit the residents in terms of
income from rice, corn, cassava and other crops. Table 27 shows the expansion
areas to be cultivated together with the projected total annual production per
crop per barangay after the project will be implemented.
Moreover, with the project, farm productivity will increase, farm production cost
will be reduced and farm product quality will be improved. All these will be the
contributory factors in the expected increase of farmers’ income from
PhP5,466.67 to PhP 6,750.00 per month.
5
This benefit is optional and it should be based on a well justified rationale.

clearing/cutting of bushes/trees and heavy equipment helpers.
2. No. of Skilled workers to be hired
There will be 40 skilled laborers that will be hired for the sub project
implementation, 40 percent of which will be coming from the subproject
areas. They will be assigned as team leaders for various works, i.e.
installation of drainage facilities, bush clearance and operators of
variousheavy equipment that will be used in the sub- project.
iv. Adjustment of Financial Values to Economic Terms
a. Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) Subproject: Feasibility Study for the
Improvement/Concreting of Lipata to Casandig I Farm-to-Market Road,
Paranas, Samar
Assuming that 80 percent of the materials are purchased from market and
equipment are 100 percent base cost (no taxes). The conversion factor for
unskilled labor is 0.6 percent. The overhead, contingencies and miscellaneous
(OCM) is 12 percent of base cost while contractor’s profit is eight percent. Taxes
are 12 percent of the total mark-up value. Feasibility study and Detailed
Engineering Design preparation is five percent of base cost and engineering
supervision is five percent of base cost.
Table 29 shows the estimates of the items needed for the project with
corresponding conversion of economic cost. Economic cost is defined as the true
cost of the item to the society. To get the economic cost, conversion factors is
provided for each item. Materials is given a 12 percent conversion factor, for

unskilled is 0.6, for OCM is 12 percent and for FS and DED preparation and
engineering supervision is 12 percent. The rest of the items is 100 percent base
costs or does not have taxes.
The FS and DED preparation and Engineering Supervision is not included in the
Program of Works (POW), it is just shown for the computation of Economic and
Financial Analysis.

v. Results of the Economic Analysis
The computed Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR) is 17.5 percent which is
higher than the social rate of discount of 15 percent. Economic Net Present Value
(ENPV) is Php15,078,000which indicates that the present value of benefits is
greater than the present value of costs. Benefit-cost ratio (BCR) refers to the ratio
of the total benefits to total costs. Computed BCR is 1.15 which means that total
benefits are greater than total costs. Generally, the project is very feasible and
viable because it generates a satisfactory economic and financial analysis.
vi. Economic Sensitivity Results
Sensitivity Analysis is a tool used to determine the effects of different assumed
scenarios to the project aside from the projected base scenario. The sensitivity
analysis is done to test the susceptibility of variables that directly affect a
project's economic viability.
Table 30 shows that in majority of the test case scenarios, EIRR, ENPV and BCR
results remain at acceptable levels. Hence the project is generally robust to
changes.

Farm-to-Market Road, Paranas, Samar
However, in the case wherein benefits are delayed by two years, all indicators
significantly dropped by several notches, posting a lower EIRR, negative ENPV
and a BCR that is less than one. This would convey that the risk relative to
slippages or delays in construction is likely to occur and affect viability. Hence, it
is important to look into this aspect and create precautionary measures in order
to avoid this risk. It is also highly- recommended that there should be a close
monitoring of the project implementation that will greatly help prevent delays.
Below are the results of the sensitivity test:
