Foreign funding will play a significant role in jumpstarting the P352-billion flood control plan of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Senator Franklin Drilon, the head of the Senate’s finance committee, said Sunday.

The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) will also divert part of its “savings” from slow-spending agencies for the government’s massive rehabilitation of flood-ravaged cities and provinces, said Budget Secretary Florencio Abad Jr.

Abad said he had obtained approval from President Aquino to mandate all government agencies to return their unspent funds from 2011 to the first half this year.

“Originally, we had plans to use these funds for roads to tourism zones, credit for agrarian reform beneficiaries, emergency employment, augmentation for local infrastructure projects. But with the relief and rehab needs due to the floods, we may have to redeploy some of these funds,” he said in a text message.

Drilon said countries like Japan and South Korea were “willing and able” to help the Philippines in developing infrastructure projects.

Drilon said, however, that the development of those projects would not have immediate results despite the obvious urgency.

The DPWH has prepared a master plan for a comprehensive flood management system to protect Metro Manila and nearby provinces, which are quickly inundated during heavy rains. The plan includes 11 projects whose development will take up to 2035.

Lined up

“We would need foreign funding and development assistance [funds] for these projects,” Drilon said in a radio interview on Sunday.

“As far as I know, some countries that want to help in terms of development assistance and concessional loans, including South Korea and Japan, two countries that are willing and able to lend us funds, are lined up,” he said in English and Filipino.

Japan has a long history of extending aid to the Philippines through its Official Development Assistance.

Recently, South Korea extended a $208-million loan to the Philippines for the construction of a dam in Iloilo province.

Long-term solutions

“There is constant proof that our neighbors are willing to lend loans for infrastructure projects of the DPWH,” Drilon said. “However, these are for long-term solutions. And it would take years for these projects to be completed.”

As it is the repair of roads, bridges and dams damaged by last week’s floods would use up the P500 million in quick response fund the government has allotted for such contingencies, Drilon said.

Double the fund

“It appears we need to augment this allocation because by the looks of it, it would not be enough,” he said. “The DPWH said that in Metro Manila alone, the P500 million would already be used up. And then there are the dikes in Pampanga that have also been damaged. That [requires] P300 million.”

Drilon said the quick response fund must at least be doubled for the government to adequately respond to the situation.

“At least P1 billion is needed,” he said.

Drilon said the DPWH’s P3 billion in savings could be tapped if necessary.

“The department has not used this amount because of reforms in the awarding of projects, because the bids (for infrastructure projects) are now lower so there would be adequate funds to repair those damaged,” he said. “But a long-term solution is still required.”

Waste management

Also on Sunday, the head of the Senate environmental committee, Francis Escudero, said a portion of the government’s P12.2-billion flood control budget for 2012 should be spent for a “stepped-up” waste management campaign, especially in urban areas.

Statistics from the Environmental Management Bureau shows that local governments in Metro Manila manage to collect only 73 percent of the 5,000 metric tons of waste generated daily. The remaining 27 percent end up in the waterways, including rivers, and vacant lots and spaces in the metropolis.

Escudero said Tropical Storm “Ondoy” in 2009, last week’s torrential monsoon rains and floods, and past natural calamities had “taught us one very simple lesson that somehow we all had forgotten: Trash we throw indiscriminately will find its way back to our homes.”

“Obviously, we have not done a good job of managing our solid waste based on the amount of trash washed back on our doorsteps,” Escudero said. “It’s time to take our lessons to heart.”

Malacañang said it would ask for a P5.2-billion increase in the government’s flood-control budget. The amount would bring next year’s allocation to P17.5 billion.

People’s Survival Fund

For her part, Sen. Loren Legarda proposed that the President raise the People’s Survival Fund from P1 billion to P10 billion.

“It only needs to be signed by the President as Congress had already approved and transmitted the People’s Survival Fund to Malacañang for his signature,” Legarda, chairperson of the Senate climate change committee, said in a radio interview.

The senator assured that Aquino would not be committing an irregularity by increasing the survival fund.

Legarda added that if the government could ask Congress for a P40-billion conditional cash transfer in 2013 to benefit the poorest families across the country, “why not this sector that clearly suffered following the floods.”

Grants

If no additional funds can come from the annual General Appropriations Act, Legarda suggested that Malacañang tap foreign grants for relocation and housing of affected informal settlers.

The survival fund can also be used to finance the cleaning of “esteros,” building dikes and planting mangroves.

Legarda recalled that the DBM had indicated its willingness to release P3 billion instead of just P1 billion for the fund.

Unused funds

The budget department has yet to finalize its estimate of how much funds would be withdrawn from state agencies, but this is expected to reach tens of billions of pesos.

“We have not completed that assessment as many agencies appealed their situation, explaining that their projects were in various stages of procurement. … But we have identified clear savings from unfilled items and retirement funds,” Abad said.

Last month, Abad signed National Budget Circular No. 541, which ordered agencies to list down how much of their 2011 and 2012 budgets had not been used as of July 30.

The secretary has expressed concern that low spending would have an adverse impact on economic growth.

He said the slow spending could be attributed to the agencies’ lack of preparedness to implement projects or to their tendency to implement projects under a two-year window.

“For the first five months, the national government has not met its spending targets. In order to accelerate spending and sustain fiscal targets during the year, expenditure measures have to be implemented to optimize the utilization of available resources.

“In the event that a measure is necessary to improve the operational efficiency of the government, the President is authorized to suspend or stop further use of funds allotted for any agency or expenditure authorized in the General Appropriations Act,” Abad said in the circular.

The withdrawal of budget allocation would cover personal services, capital outlays, maintenance and other operating expenditures.

Exempted are constitutional offices, groups with fiscal autonomy, state universities and colleges, intelligence funds, foreign-assisted projects, special-purpose funds, quick-response funds, savings from travel, communication and transportation, and automatic appropriations.

Under the circular, the DBM has until the end of this quarter to realign these funds with the unused funds to be classified as the government’s general savings.

THE Department of Health (DOH) on Sunday vouched for the effectivity of generic doxycycline in preventing leptospirosis, which is threatening hundreds of thousands of families in Luzon affected by the torrential rains and massive flooding.
Health Secretary Enrique Ona said the public should not hesitate in asking for generic drugs to be used against possible illnesses brought by the flood since they are equally effective in preventing them.
“Ask your doctor to prescribe generic drugs as much as possible,” he said.
Doxycycline is an antibiotic that is currently recommended to prevent leptospirosis among those with increased risk of exposure.
At present, the Health department said the price of a generic, 100- milligram doxycycline capsule varies from P2 to P15 depending on the manufacturer. The capsule is available in government hospitals and commercial drugstores.
Last week, President Benigno Aquino III said a pharmaceutical company would be investigated for jacking up its prices by as much as 750 times more.
Malacañang could not identify which specific company is involved in the overpricing but said they received information that medicine for leptospirosis had gone up dramatically.
Ona is appealing to drug companies, distributors and pharmacies to make affordable the prices of medicines, especially doxycycline even as the DOH has already distributed the drug for free for rescue and relief teams and residents in evacuation centers.
Leptospirosis is caused by a bacteria called Leptospira, which can be transmitted to humans through water, food, or soil containing urine from infected animals – usually rats.

PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III on Sunday continued to make his round of visits in the areas affected by the massive flooding last week due to monsoon rains.
He first visited the evacuees at Kasiglahan Village Elementary School in Rodriguez, Rizal where he led the distribution of relief goods.
In his speech, the President assured that the government will immediately start the building of dikes around Laguna Lake to prevent future flooding. It is expected to be completed before the end of his term in 2016.
“We will be needing a lot of money and time to make this project possible. The stretch of this dike is almost 100 kilometers. It would take time before we finish constructing this but by building it gradually, we could ease the flooding you are experiencing here,” he said.
Aquino also mentioned the controversial P18.7-billion dredging project by the previous administration in Laguna Lake, which is filled with four million cubic meters of silt every year.
“What the previous government wanted to do was move the mud from one section of the lake to another section. Matter occupies volume and if it occupies the same space, the volume doesn’t decrease,” he said.
The project was cancelled last year.
The President has already ordered Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson, who also acts as water czar, to present an alternative plan next week.
During his visit, the President also thanked the volunteers from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for repacking the relief goods for some 1,500 families staying in an evacuation center.
President Aquino also visited an evacuation center in Cainta, Rizal. He lauded the local government officials there for being prompt in addressing the flood.
He assured that the national government will implement projects that will mitigate the effects of flooding in Rizal.
The Chief Executive told Rizal residents the danger of building houses near rivers where they could block the flow of water to tributaries.
In Mabitac, Laguna, the President distributed relief packs to hundreds of families displaced by floods.
From Rizal, the President went to the DSWD’s National Resource Operations Center in Pasay City.
He thanked the volunteers from 23 local and private entities for producing 129,170 food packs for the victims. He also credited the local government and private companies for giving donations.
Since Thursday, the President has been busy visiting areas affected by the flooding.
He went to Valenzuela, Malabon, Caloocan, Marikina and Navotas last Thursday while on Friday he visited the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga and Tarlac.

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — President Benigno Aquino Jr. visited on Sunday Barangay Sto. Niño here to check on flood victims, after his visit in Tarlac and Bataan.
Aquino was welcomed by City of San Fernando Mayor Oscar Rodriguez, 3rd district Representative Aurelio Gonzales, Butil Representative Agapito Guanlao and Govenor Lilia Pineda at the Barangay Sto. Nino Elementary School here.
The President was accompanied by Cabinet secretaries and National Government officials during the less than 30-minute visit.
“We have enough funds for quick response. Rest assured that you will receive help,” Aquino said in Filipino.
Aquino distributed relief goods to the flood victims. The goods came from the funds of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) national office.
The President, however, left promptly after distributing a few relief packs. The distribution was continued by City Hall officials.
The City of San Fernando is among hardest hit areas in Pampanga.
