Presentation Outline

Physical Planning in the Philippines

National Policy per LOI 1350 (1983)

Specified planning structures and outputs

(adoption of national physical planning &

supportive regional & sub-regional land

classification & utilization plans)

Institutionalized the inventory of land

resources and their current use

The geographic and

geologic setting of the

Philippines make it

prone to various

hazards, including:

•typhoon/rain-related

•volcano-related

•earthquake-related

•tsunami

Slide 10 of 20

Mainstreaming Work

Lessons Learned

Use of existing institutional mechanisms to

minimize proliferation of committees

Facilitation through RDCs/RLUCs

Creation of project core teams

Forging of MOA among project partners

and collaborators to strengthen partnership

and ensure firm commitment and support

Slide 11 of 20

Initiating pre-project implementation activities

Conduct of project orientation, project

planning and dialogue with partners

Presentation/discussion of areas of

complementation among stakeholders

Lessons Learned

Slide 12 of 20

Massive strengthening of capacities/skills in

mainstreaming DRR/CCA in physical planning

including the use of GIS

Purposive conduct of in-house trainings,

technical sessions and “learning by doing”

through the use of in-house consultants

Forging complementation activities with

agencies implementing similar initiatives

Lessons Learned

Attendance of staff to technical trainings

and other inter-agency/multi-sectoral

consultations along DRR/CCA

Slide 13 of 20

Advocacy / Stakeholders’ Forums

Presentation of project methodologies and

outputs during advocacy/stakeholders’ fora

generated improvements/enhancements

and support to project outputs and their

eventual use and practical application

Sharing of good practices along DRR/CCA

initiatives is a good strategy to replicate

and utilize project outputs

Lessons Learned

Slide 14 of 20

Convergence and complementation of

DRR/CCA-related initiatives in the region

Synchronization and complementation of

resources, data holdings & outputs such as

those of the Integrating DRR/CCA project

of NEDA and the Project Twin Phoenix of

CCC, among others

Lessons Learned

Slide 15 of 20

Establishment of the Climate-Related

Information System for Planning (CRISP) in

selected regions

In Region 10, CRISPLite piloted in

Cagayan de Oro City and now being

replicated in Iligan City

Lessons Learned

Expansion of CRISP database to add the

data survey from Project Climate Twin

Phoenix

Slide 16 of 20

Strongly advocate use and practical application

of outputs; influence policy/decision makers in

prioritizing resources to support/implement

policy options in DRR/CCA-enhanced plans

Way Forward

Slide 17 of 20

Continue capacity build-up on DRR/CCA

Further fine-tune methodologies used

Manualize methods and approaches

used for ready reference and use in

trainings and advocacy work

Support the improvement and coverage

expansion of established Climate-Related

Information System (CRISP) and advocate

its replication in all planning levels

Way Forward

Slide 18 of 20

Continue to identify and implement

demonstration projects and benchmark

mitigation and adaptation best practices

and workable strategies

Ensure vertical consistency of plans …

CLUPs with the PDPFP and the RPFP

and the NPFP/NFPP/NSS

Way Forward

Slide 19 of 20

Continue advocacy for rational land

utilization … need to cover the whole

territory with the same land use

regulation (push a National Land Use

Act or similar legislative agenda)
