    In 2007, Mindanao Population is estimated to be at the 21 Million mark (actual2007 census: 21,582,540) with an estimated annual average growth rate of 2.62

    percent. Mindanaos annual average growth rate (2.62) is slightly higher than thatof the national average (2.04 percent). From 2000 to 2007 Mindanaos populationgrew at approximately 19% or about 3.45 million people (2000 Census, Mindanao= 18,133,864 people).

    The following are each Mindanao regions average annual growth rate:

    ARMM has the highest average annual growth rate in Mindanao and even in theentire country. The common reasons for this may have to do with varioussociological, cultural, political and religious factors unique in the ARMM.

    The level of population growth has significant repercussions on the capacities of acertain economy. Population growth in Mindanao will not only strain its ability toprovide for the citizens of the current generation but also of future generations as

    well.

    Also the diversity in religious and ethnic backgrounds pose a challenge to policy

    makers in terms of maintaining conditions suitable for these people to co-existpeacefully. Policies which could disadvantage one group could create conditions

    leading to conflict and may pose a threat to the development initiatives in the area.

    Philippine economy manages a 1.1 percent growth

    The Philippine economy remained resilient as it managed to grow by 1.1 percent in 2009despite the adverse impact of the global economic crisis and the onslaught of super

    typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng which brought about massive destruction to agricultural

    production and infrastructures during the year. The growth, however, was a deceleration

    from the 3.7 percent performance achieved in 2008. The accelerated growths in Mining

    and Quarrying, construction, finance, private services and government services

    cushioned the decline in manufacturing and agriculture and fishery.

    All the major industries slowed down in 2009 compared to 2008. Agriculture, fishery and

    forestry (AFF) posted zero growth in 2009 from 3.1 percent in 2008. The industry sector

    contracted by 0.9 percent in 2009 from 4.9 percent in 2008 while the Service sector

    decelerated from 3.1 percent to 2.8 percent. Figure 1 shows the national performance

    as compared to Mindanao.

    Mindanao economy slightly decelerates

    The economic growth of the Mindanao island group slightly decelerated from 3.9

    percent in 2008 to 3.7 percent in 2009 as two of its regional economies significantly

    slowed down.

    The share of the Mindanao island group to the national economy increased to 18.2

    percent in 2009 from 17.7 percent in 2008.

    In the past decade, there was an observed increase in the share of Mindanaosindustry and services sectors.

    Sectoral Performance as of Aug 2009:

    The Agriculture, Fishery & Forestry (AFF) sector of Mindanao, the biggest of thethree sectors which comprised 35.49 percent of the total Mindanao economydecelerated from 4.5 percent in 2008 to 2.0 percent in 2009.

    The industry sector which comprised 29.19 percent of the Mindanao total

    increased by 6.8 percent in 2009 from 4.6 percent in 2008.

    Accounting for the largest share of the regions economy in 2009 was the Services sector

    with a 41.2 percentage share, although this was lower than its 41.5 percentage share in

    2008. The Industry sector meanwhile increased its share to 34.4 percent from 32.9

    percent while AFFs share decreased to 24.4 percent from 25.6 percent.

    SOCCSKSARGENs economic performance decelerates as AFF reverses growth

    SOCCSKSARGENs economy in 2009 posted a deceleration of 1.3 percent from 4.5 percent

    in 2008 due to the reversal in growth in AFF. The accelerated growths in the Industry and

    Services sectors were not able to offset the lackluster performance of AFF.

    Accounting for the largest share of the regions economy in 2009 was AFF with a share of

    41.5 percent lower than its 42.9 percentage share in 2008. Both the Industry and

    Services sector posted increases in their shares of 31.8 percent from 31.0 percent and

    26.7 percent from 26.1 percent, respectively.

    Mining and Quarrying subsector fuels Caraga economy

    Caraga maintained the same growth it posted last year at 2.7 percent despite the reversalin the growth of AFF.

    The Services sector remained as the largest sector of as it comprised 34.6 percent of the

    regions total domestic output in 2009, although this was lower than its share of 34.7

    percent in 2008. While the Industry sector managed to increase its share to 33.9 percent

    from 31.2 percent, AFF posted a decrease in its share at 31.5 percent from 34.1 percent.

    ARMMs economy accelerated as AFF and Industry sector grow faster

    The regional economy of the ARMM posted an accelerated growth of 2.6 percent in 2009

    from 1.6 percent in 2008. This was largely due to the accelerated growth of the AFF and

    Services sectors which offset the slowdown in the Industry sector.Comprising the bulk of the regions economic output in 2009 was AFF with a share of

    57.7 percent, which remained unchanged from 2008. The Services sector increased its

    share to 31.1 percent from 30.9 percent while the Industry sectors share decreased to

    11.3 percent from 11.4 percent.

    As of December 2009, Mindanaos total trade posted a decrease of 24.50% which

    registered at US$3.49 billion (FOB value) as compared to US$4.62 billion in the same

    period last year.

    Mindanaos total export earnings as of December 2009 slumped by 27.73% with a value

    of US$2.19 billion from US$3.03 billion during the same period in 2008.

    Likewise, Mindanaos total imports registered a decrease of 18.38% from US$1.59 billion

    to US$1.30 billion as of December 2009.

    The decreases in export performance can be attributed to the effects of the global

    financial crisis. As reported by UNCTAD, world trade began to slow down in 2007 and

    has been shrinking at a fast rate since November 2008 in both volume and value as a

    result of the economic recession that began in the United States. Trade volume growth

    decelerated first in the United States and other developed countries1.

    Moreover, the export cargo was adversely affected by the global downturn, losing as

    much as 6.90 MMT or 20.66% during the year while import cargo slipped by about 2.05

    MMT or 4.14%. The lower demand for prime export commodities such as mineral ores,

    nickel ores, lime, cold rolled coils and coco oil, etc. was evident in the sharp decline of

    foreign cargo throughput at the following gateway ports of Mindanao: Cagayan de Oro -

    4.03 MMT; Surigao - 4.14 MMT; and Nasipit - 0.61 MMT1.

    In terms of Philippine-EAGA performance, Palawan registered positive performance on

    both export and import. It registered an increase of 14.66% in total trade or US$600.85

    The top 3 performing investment sectors for 2008 are i.) power generation sector, ii.)hog/swine raising, and iii.) mineral extraction.

    The power generation sector got the largest investment equity share at PHP 5.112billion or 37% (See Figure 4). This is through the combined capital infusion of SouthBukidnon Bioenergy, Inc. and the Philippine Sinter Corporations power generationprojects. South Bukidnon Bioenergy Inc. will build an integrated plant in BarangayLabuagon, Municipality Of Kibawe, Bukidnon. The plant will produce bio-ethanoland electricity from sugar cane. The project will also include the construction of asugar cane mill and distillery for producing ethanol, a 10 mega-watt co-generationpower plant, a carbon dioxide recovery plant and an effluent treatment plant. Theplant is expected to be in operation in 2010. The Philippine Sinter Corporation,likewise, has invested in a 117 mega-watt co-generation power plant in PhividecIndustrial Estate in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental.

    Hog/Swine Raising came in second with an investment equity share of 13% or PHP1.819 billion. Monterey Foods in Sumilao, Bukidnon is investing in the constructionof an 8,800 head-capacity, sow level farrow to finish hog farm. The facility is part ofSan Miguel Groups integrated Agro-Industrial Zone program in Northern Mindanao.

    The mining sector obtained an 11.7% share or PHP 1.598 billion. Apex Mining Co.,Inc, and Philippine Mining Development Corporation are the industry players whohave made investments on mineral exploration in the island. Apex Mining is puttingin fresh capital amounting to PHP 1.264 billion for development of mining areas inCompostela Valley. They will focus their operations in the extraction of preciousminerals like gold, silver, copper concentrates, zinc and lead.

    Philippine economic zones (ecozones) are collections of industries, broughttogether geographically for the purpose of promoting economic development.

    Although designed to operate separately from the political and economic milieu ofsurrounding communities, Philippine economic zones do in fact interact withtheir neighbors.

    There are nine (9) ecozones in Mindanao.

    A Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is a geographical region that has economic lawsthat are more liberal than a country's typical economic laws.

    The category 'SEZ' covers a broad range of more specific zone types, includingFree Trade Zones (FTZ), Export Processing Zones (EPZ), Free Zones (FZ),Industrial Estates (IE), Free Ports, Urban Enterprise Zones and others.

    The Mindanao Transport sector composed of roads and bridges, airports and base ports.

    There are 3 alternate international airports in Mindanao which includes Davao, Zamboanga and General Santos airports.

    12 Major ports in Mindanao includes: Zamboanga, Ozamis, Iligan, Cotabato, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, General Santos,Surigao, Nasipit, Polloc, Bongao and Jolo.

    The Strong Republic Nautical Highway (SRNH) of the National Government, offers an efficient and shorter way to travel to theVisayas and Mindanao regions. Transport cost from Mindanao through the Visayas to Luzon shall be reduced. It has reducedtravel time by 10 hours, and reduced cost by 40% for passengers and 30% for cargo. The National Highway System shall be

    completed through these highly priority routes.

    About 62% of the roads in Mindanao were paved and only 38% remained unpaved.

    Since major links along the north-south backbone have already been completed, we are now pushing for the completion of the

    east-west lateral roads & other roads of strategic importance to provide lateral interconnection to the north-south corridor as

    well as provide access to important strategic areas & other coastal municipalities in both the mainland and offshore islands.

    These are some of the identified priority roads that would enhance the islands physical integration: Bayugan-Tandag Road, Sta. Filomena-Ticalaan Road, Malita-Don Marcelino-Jose Abad Santos Road, Kalamansig-Palimbang-Maitum Road, Lake Lanao Circumferential Road,Basilan Circumferential Road, Sulu Transcentral Road and Sanga-

    sanga-Lapid-lapid-Saldang Road

    A number of these projects are already ongoing while the rest are proposed for funding. It is crucial for the ongoing projects to

    be completed.

    Under the proposed projects of the DPWH Medium-Term Public Investment Program (MTPIP), the funding requirement forConstruction/Improvement of roads is Php29.730 billion while for Maintenance/Rehabilitation is Php5.96 billion.

    In addition to the national road network, it is also equally important to improve the islands farm-to-market roads. It has been

    noted that about 93% of Mindanaos barangay roads are unpaved, which maycritically affect the overall quality of agricultural products.Roads leading to ports and airports are also important to link production areas to market centers. To name a few, these

    includes the Tagum-Davao-Gen Santos Road, Alale-PHIVIDEC Bypass Road and widening of sharp curve sections of SayreHighway.

    Considering the growing trend in containerization & increase in containertraffic demand, there is an impending need to upgrade/rehabilitate existingroads or construct new roads to suit container & large-sized vehicle traffic.

    Current road design is not appropriate for container traffic, the volume ofwhich is expected to increase by 5% annually

    Earthquake Zone

    Mindanao lies in the The Pacific Ring of Fire (or sometimes just the Ring of fire)

    The Ring of Fire is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcaniceruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km horseshoe shape, it is

    associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and

    volcanic belts and/or plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home

    to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. It is sometimes called the

    circum-Pacific belt or the circum-Pacific seismic belt.

    The two-year project that run from March 2010 to March 2012 is designed to update,

    and transform the topographic maps to the Philippine Reference System of 1992.

    It aims to prepare digital topographic maps covering the entire Mindanao at the scale of

    1:50,000 and to implement the necessary support to the wide and effective use of the

    digital topographic maps and Geographic Information System (GIS). It covers a review of

    existing conditions (i.e., organization setup, mapping system, facilities management, and

    control points); acquisition of satellite imagery; production of maps through digital

    mapping technology; and dissemination of topographic data.

    The target beneficiaries are private and public sectors from all institutions involved in

    infrastructure, environmental management, national and local government planning,

    tourism, investment and security.

    Among the expected project outputs include reports, satellite images, ortho-image

    maps, ground control point coordinates, 1:50,000-scale digital topographic maps for

    printing, and 1:50,000-scale digital topographic data for GIS applications.

    The geographic information that can be derived from updated topographic maps will be

    an indispensable tool for planning and development activities. Thus, it will facilitate

    effective and efficient delivery of government services and improve investment

    decisions of developers and investors. Outputs of the project will advance decision-

    making in terms of intensifying socio-economic and peace process development in

    Mindanao. It can also be utilized in conservation and preservation of natural resources

    alongside with disaster risk mitigation. The maps at 1:50,000 maps are valuable tools for

    an effective environmental management.

    Currently, subcontractors are doing field validation/survey in the areas.

    NOTE: THE PROJECT NEEDS LGUs SUPPORT/ ASSISTANCE ESPECIALLY IN CONDUCTING

    FIELD VALIDATION/SURVEYS.
