AGRO-FORESTRY AND REFORESTATION PROJECTCY 2015 ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT
Background
PMDC is mandated to explore, develop, operate, manage, or dispose state-owned mining
properties by itself or in partnership with a qualified private party or contractor.
In accordance with this mandate, PMDC's Vision is as follows; "PMDC develops, promotes,
and manages mining projects, and builds productive partnerships with its Partners/Operators
in order to contribute to the revenues of the National Government, generate employment and
enrich lives in mining communities. PMDC adheres to the ideals and standards of responsible
mineral development and adopts the best practices in erwironmental protection and
enhancement."
Pursuant to the said Vision and Mission of PMDC and guided by its motto of"Creating
Wealth, Enriching Lives", PMDC generates employment and enriches lives in communities
within its mining properties through the implementation of its Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) Program known as *HERO", which stands for Health,
Education/Environment, Rural Infrastructure, and Opportunities to Earn.
One of the projects implemented by PMDC is the Agro-Forestry and Reforestation Project
in Barangay Upper Ulip, Monkayo, Compostela Valley Province, which is an integratedgreening (environmental) and livelihood Project. It is a livelihood or "Opportunities toEarn" Project since it adopts a cash-for-work program whereby parfrrer beneficiaries receive
corresponding payment for labor accomplished during the Plantation Establishment Stage as
well as the Protection & Maintenance Stage. It is also an "Enyironment" Project since the
Reforestation Project seeks to revive the damaged biodiversity of the community caused by
natural calamities (typhoon) and various man-made activities.
The Agro-Forestry and Reforestation Project in Barangay Upper Ulip, Monkayo, Compostela
Valley (Diwalwal Mineral Reservation Area [DMRA]) consists of rwo (2) Phases, that is, Phase
I & Phase II, with an area of ten (10) hectares each, or a total area of twenty (20) hectares.
Phase I is located at Sitio Depot, Barangay Upper Ulip, while Phase II is located at Dash 3,
Sitio Malinao, Barangay Upper Ulip. Phase I officially started in October 2014 after the various
agreements with the IPs/Tribal Council and with the partner government agencies (CENRO,
NCIP, Barangay LGU, Philippine Army) were signed. Phase II officially started sometime in
December 2014. Both Phases have already completed planting activities and were both
initializing the Protectiono Care, and Maintenance Stage. However, last March 17,2015, a
forest fire destroyed almost thirty (30) hectares of land with vegetation within and in the
vicinity of the Project area, including the l0-hectare area of Phase II. On July 09,2015, the
Board of Directors of PMDC approved the rehabilitation of Phase II. The rehabilitation ofPhase II was implemented (Plantation Establishment) sometime in August 2015.
The Project, as determined by the Management, was established based on the following
objectives:
