1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
1.1 Background of the Project
Bridges have helped shape our nation and its people. Bridge design and construction
methods have advanced significantly in America and have helped advance the nation’s
transportation, commerce, and economy, as well as the wellbeing of its people.
In the Republic of the Philippines (hereinafter referred as “the Philippines”), the
population has rapidly increased in recent years yet the infrastructure development such
as road and public transport has lagged behind. This has led to serious traffic
congestion in urban areas and economic loss. The sluggish infrastructure development
is thus a significant bottleneck for further economic development of the Philippines. The
project site, Metro Cebu Bohol belongs to the Central Visayas Region, on one of the
Visayan Islands located in central Philippines and consists of 13 local governments
including Cebu City. Metro Cebu is the second largest metropolitan area after Metro
Manila with a population of 2.85 million in 2015. Numerous domestic and international
companies are clustered in the area as a base of trade in central Philippines. Cebu
Island is also a popular tourist destination in the Philippines. Out of the 4.86 million
foreign tourists nationwide, Cebu Island accounted for 1.15 million.

CENTRAL
VISAYAS

CEBU BOHOL

The population of Metro Cebu increased at an annual average growth rate of 2.2%
between 2010 and 2015 and is projected to reach around 3.8 million people by 2030.

-6-
Accidents beyond the sea are expected to be more serious due to such rapid weather
we are encountering now and in the future. This is considered to be a major obstacle to
the future development of Metro Cebu and Bohol. Project which consists of the
construction of a new bridge linking Cebu Island and Bohol Island as well as
construction of a coastal road connecting to the bridge (hereinafter referred to as “the
Project”) listed in the priority projects.

1.2 Project Location

The project site is located in the Province of Cebu, Cebu CITY and XX45+F48, Getafe,
Bohol in the Central Visayas (Region VII), Philippines. Cebu City is containing of 80
barangays. While in Tubigon Bohol covers the 34 Barangays.

1.3 Project Objective

The basic concepts why the proposed Bohol -Cebu Multi Access Bridge appears viable
wherein certainly trade and commerce will blossom even more between the two
neighbouring Visayan islands and probably gives a slight advantage to Boholano
entrepreneurs ,especially those agriculture in nature, as Cebu has a markedly bigger
market absorptive capacity for new goods and services. It is a known fact that citified
places like Cebu are likely to harbor more criminal elements and sophisticated modes of
“one up-man ship” that can seep into the crevices of Bohol’s more laid-back and
peaceful foundations. With bigger capital, organization and technology, Cebu
businesses might enter Bohol in inordinate volume and finances as to drown the
existing smaller entities here.

Plan in Cebu city
and Getafe Bohol

Very clearly, the pros, however, outrank the cons in a major way. But there are
many things still to be clarified under the context of a BOT structure for the
project.

1.4. Design of Cebu-Bohol Bridge

The cross section width of Cebu-Bohol Bridge was determined in consideration of the
possibility to expand the number of lanes from 4-lane to 6-lane in future (beyond the
design period of the Project). Although the width of each cross section elements in
future wouldbecome narrow, the widths are still within the minimum requirement of
design standard

Within Design Period (until Year 2030) Future beyond Design Period (after Year 2030)

1.5 Objectives of the Project Proposal

The overall goal of the project proposal is to ensure that the views and voices of the
project-affected persons (PAPs), both individuals and organizations, are adequately
heard and that they are compensated and provided necessary support and assistances
that enable them to enjoy a standard of living that is equivalent or higher than that prior
to the project. It has been prepared based on relevant laws, regulations and policies
existing in the Philippines as well as good international practices such as the policies
adopted by BELLE CONSTRUCTION and reflect pertinent social, economic and
geophysical circumstances and constraints at the project site. It serves as a guiding
document for DPWH (Unified Project Management Office Roads Management Cluster
I/UPMO-RMC I and Region VII) as well as for all stakeholders involved in the project
including Local Government Units (LGUs), National Housing Authority (NHA) and other
relevant government bodies in the Philippines as well as PAPs, project-affected
companies, Non-Government Organization (NGOs), Internal Monitoring Agents (IMAs),
construction companies and the consultants for land acquisition and associated
activities (e.g. public consultation, consensus building and provision of compensation
and social support) to better attain the abovementioned goal. The objectives of the RAP
can be summarized as follows:

 To identify the PAPs and understand the expected adverse impacts on their living by
recording all of their properties, assets and opportunities that are lost or affected by the
project

 To identify and document entitlements of the PAPs and to propose a viable policy and
package for compensation and support adequately reflecting their rights, views and
circumstances

-9-
 To identify potential resettlement sites and formulates a menu for resettlement
options

 To better ensure that adequate level and means of participation and meaningful
dialogue are maintained between the PAPs and DPWH, LGUs, NHA and other relevant
bodies

 To better ensure that the PAPs are given a fair, easily accessible, and less time- and
cost-consuming venue to raise and address their concerns and complaints to the
project’s decision-makers throughout the process of RAP implementation

 To better ensure implementation of the RAP by highlighting the organizations

responsible for carrying it out, estimating, and thereby help securing, the budget needed
for its implementation and by offering the steps and timetable for RAP implementation

 To reduce the risk of social unrest and opposition against the project and thereby
better ensure smooth implementation of the project

1.7 Legal Framework on Land Acquisition and Proposal in the Philippines

1.7.1 Overview

Table 1.7.1 below provides an overview of the principle laws and regulations governing
issues concerned with land acquisition and involuntary resettlement in the Philippines.
Regulations that are particularly pertinent to the project and require further explanations
are presented in the sections that follow.

Table 1.7.1 Legal Framework concerning Land Acquisition Project Proposal in the
Philippines

1.8 BELLE CONSTRUCTION Policy on Land Acquisition Project Proposal
The key principles of BELLE CONSTRUCTION policies on involuntary resettlement are
summarized below.

 Involuntary resettlement and loss of means of livelihood are to be avoided when

feasible by exploring all viable alternatives. When, after such an examination, avoidance
is proved unfeasible, effective measures to minimize impact and to compensate for
losses must be agreed upon with the people who will be affected.

 People who must be resettled involuntarily and people whose means of livelihood will
be hindered or lost must be sufficiently compensated and supported by project
proponents etc. in a timely manner.

 Prior compensation, at full replacement cost, must be provided as much as possible.

 Host countries must make efforts to enable people affected by projects and to
improve their standard of living, income opportunities, and production levels, or at least
to restore these to pre-project levels.

 Appropriate participation by affected people and their communities must be promoted

in the planning, implementation, and monitoring of resettlement action plans.

 Appropriate and accessible grievance mechanisms must be established for the

affected people and their communities.

 For projects that will result in large-scale involuntary resettlement, resettlement action
plans must be prepared and made available to the public.

 In preparing a resettlement action plan, consultations must be held with the affected
people and their communities based on sufficient information made available to them in
advance.

 When consultations are held, explanations must be given in a form, manner, and
language that are understandable to the affected people.

 Affected people are to be identified and recorded as early as possible in order to

establish their eligibility through an initial baseline survey (including population census
that serves as an eligibility cut-off date, asset inventory, and socioeconomic survey),
preferably at the project identification stage, to prevent a subsequent influx of
encroachers of others who wish to take advance of such benefits.

 Eligibility of benefits includes, the PAPs who have formal legal rights to land
(including customary and traditional land rights recognized under law), the PAPs who do
not have formal legal rights to land at the time of census but have a claim to such land

- 12 -
or assets and the PAPs who have no recognizable legal right to the land they are
occupying.

 Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced

persons whose livelihoods are land-based.

 Provide support for the transition period (between displacement and livelihood
restoration.

 Particular attention must be paid to the needs of the vulnerable groups among those
displaced, especially those below the poverty line, landless, elderly, women and
children, ethnic minorities etc.

1.9 SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION PROPOSAL

1.9.1 Overview of the Survey

A survey for RAP preparation, consisting of a: census survey; lost-asset inventory

survey; and socio-economic survey, was carried out from May 14, 2023 to Dec.
30,2023 . The main purpose of the surveys was to identify the number of people directly
affected by the project and their socio-economic characteristics as well as the type,
number and size of the land, structures, trees and other assets that are to be affected
by the project. The survey was carried out by interviewing the PAPs using carefully-
designed questionnaires shown below and by delineating the project-affected area and
recording by visual observation in the presence of the PAPs what would fall within the
area and by calculation based on the GIS data given
by LGUs. The site survey was carried out by the Housing and Urban Development
Office (HUDO) of Cebu City with technical assistance from BELLE Construction Survey
Team. Census and socio-economic survey was carried out in Cebu City only as no
individual household is expected to be affected in Getafe Bohol.

The results of this survey is expected to be reviewed and updated as found necessary
during the detailed design (D/D) stage of the project especially in case there is a change
in the alignment and/or a reasonably long period of time (e.g. three years).

2.0 Project-affected Persons and Companies

2.1 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

2.1.1 Purpose of Monitoring RAP Activities The primary purpose of monitoring the RAP
is to: ensure that resettlement is carried out in accordance with the RAP; to check the
progress made in the associated activities; and to identify any issues or problems that
may arise during the course of RAP implementation at an early stage so that measures
can be taken to address the problem without delay. Activities subject to monitoring
include: land acquisition; payment of compensation for lost assets; resettlement of the
people affected by the project; and release of funds. It is required under BELLE
CONSTRUCTION Guidelines that the PAPs’ livelihoods are at least restored, if not
improved, compared to pre-project levels. It is part of the goal of monitoring to confirm
whether this condition has indeed been met.

2.1.2 Internal and External Monitoring

DPWH undertakes monitoring on RAP implementation through internal monitoring,
which is conducted by ESSD as well as through external monitoring, which is carried
out by either a qualified individual or a consulting firm to ensure neutrality in its
monitoring.

2.1.3 Internal Monitoring

The evaluation and in-house monitoring of RAP implementation will be conducted by
ESSD and will serve as the internal monitoring agent (IMA) supported by the
consultants. The tasks assigned to the IMA are to:

 Regularly supervise and monitor the implementation of RAP in coordination with the
RIC. The findings will be documented in a quarterly report that is to be submitted to
UPMO (RMC I);

 Verify that the re-inventory baseline information of all PAPs has been carried out and
that the valuation of assets lost or damaged, the provision of compensation and other
entitlements, and relocation have been carried out in accordance with LARRIPP and
RAP;

 Ensure that RAP is implemented as designed and planned;

 Verify that the funds for RAP implementation are provided by UPMO (RMC I) in a
timely manner and in the amount sufficient for the purpose; and

 Record all grievances and their resolution and ensure that complaints are dealt with
promptly.

- 15 -
2.1.4 External Monitoring and Evaluation
UPMO (RMC I) will commission an external monitoring agent (EMA) to undertake
independent monitoring and evaluation. According to the “Good Practice Note: Third-
Party Monitoring” (2018) of the WB, “The goal of using third parties to assess the status
and performance of a project, its compliance status, or emerging issues through a
specialized party is to provide an unbiased perspective on the issue and status, and to
make recommendations for improvement, where relevant”. EMA needs to have certain
level of monitoring expertise and experiences required by DPWH to be qualified to meet
the requirements for participating in the bidding and selection process of DPWH. As
explained earlier, it is often either a qualified individual or consultancy firm that is
selected to undertake external monitoring activities and the evaluation work. Prior to the
engagement of the EMA, DPWH will prepare the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the
EMA. External monitoring and evaluation will entail random observations/visits and
consultations with the PAPs at their current pre-project residence and their relocation
site. The tasks of the EMA are to:

 Verify the results of internal monitoring; Preparatory Survey for Cebu-Bohol Bridge
and Coastal Road Construction Project Proposal

 Verify that the compensation process has been carried out in an open and
transparent manner with sufficient communication and consultations with the PAPs;

 Review how the affected assets were evaluated and compensation amount
determined;

 Assess the efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of activities associated

with resettlement and RAP implementation;

 Assess if resettlement objectives have been met, specifically if livelihoods and living
standards have been restored or improved;

 Review the way in which complaints and grievances had been handled; and

 Suggest modifications in the implementation procedures of RAP, if necessary, to

better achieve the principles and objectives of the resettlement policy The EMA shall
also include in the monitoring the results of disclosing RAP to the PAPs during public
consultations conducted for each project contract package

- 16 -
2.2 Total Cost for RAP Implementation
The total cost for implementation of land acquisition and resettlement is estimated to be
approximately PhP 14,259,425,770, which covers the costs for compensating affected
structures/assets and land/property that for developing the resettlement site, the cost for
implementing the livelihood restoration program, resettlement and assistance for
vulnerable groups, and the cost for monitoring.

Table 2.2.1 Total Cost for Implementation of the RAP

2.3. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Public consultation for the PAPs and companies on the RAP was carried out in different
forms so that it best suits the purpose within the limited timeframe. Relatively large
meetings were mostly undertaken on the same day and in the same venue as the
stakeholder meeting held for the EIA (i.e. Pubic Hearing) in a closed session exclusively
for the PAPs after the open session broke up. Explanations were given to the PAPs on
the project (e.g. road and bridge design and alignment and schedule for
implementation) and their views and opinions were collected. The presentations made
by the Belle Construction Survey Team were in English, with supplementary
explanations in Cebuano when necessary, while those given by other people (e.g.
DPWH, EMB, LGUs and local consultants) were in Cebuano. The purpose of the
discussion was to better ensure that the PAPs understood about the project and how
they would be affected by it as well as to, from the project proponents’ point of view,
understand the PAPs’ views, opinions and difficulties they would face as a result of the
project so that they could be eased and ameliorated. The meetings held in the survey
can be classified into the following groups:

 Preparatory and Coordination Meetings;

- 17 -
 Public Scoping;

 Public Hearing;

 Group Consultations with Project-affected Persons and Companies;

 Individual Consultations with Project-affected Companies; and

 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs)

2.2.4 Preparatory and Coordination Meetings

Prior to commencement of the survey, activities for information, education and

communications on the project had already commenced. The project was identified as
one of the priority projects in two previous Belle Construction studies (i.e. the Roadmap
Study and the MCUTMP). As a priority project proposed in these studies, the project
was included in the presentation and discussions during the stakeholders meetings that
took place in these two related studies. To officially set the scene for commencement of
the subject preparatory survey, a coordination meeting was undertaken from May 23 to
24, 2023 with Belle Construction representatives (Engr. Jaylord Dumo), DPWH, Belle
Construction Survey Team headed by (Engr. Elizabeth Campo), representatives from
the Cities of Cebu and Bohol, and the Metro Cebu Development and Coordinating
Board (MCDCB).
