The project impact of
the government thru the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) is to enable
Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) to reduce poverty and sustain their
improved income and quality of life. The Second Agrarian Reform Community Project
(ARCP2) is there to deliver rural infrastructure support as one of the
components in attaining the objective of the government to improve capabilities
and well being of poor and marginalized groups in the target communities. Rural
infrastructure support caters to offer road projects like rehabilitation of
farm-to-market road, ARC road concreting, construction of potable water system
(Level II), and construction of multi-purpose centers.
For the province of
Basilan, thirteen (13) sub-projects were approved by NSAC/RSAC since the
inception of ARCP in 2009, four (4) of which are aimed for implementation this
year upon completion of all required documents prepared by the local government
units concerned.

Relative to the on-going
projects in the Province of Basilan, there is a slow pacing on its
implementation due to the presence of insurgencies on the island. Peace and order
condition is always the main problem and the heavy rainfall of the previous
year due to climate change slowed down the completion of the projects. Basilan
province has been seriously affected by typhoons and monsoon rains. Only three (3) sub-projects are still for
completion this year in TARBIDC, Sumisip; TABADECO, Tipo-Tipo; and TIPARBECO,
Ungkaya Pukan.

The local government units implement these
sub-projects with funding under the ARCP II-LP with LGUs equity of 60%. The
remaining six (6) approved projects are for revision of program of works due to
price increase and completion of some documentary and pre-engineering
documents. The DAR Provincial Office Rural Infra Support Section of
Beneficiaries Development and Coordination Division (BDCD) works hard in
monitoring, evaluating, following up with the LGU engineers as to their
compliance of required documents to facilitate the immediate implementation of
said projects in the province. As of to date, the Rural Support Group of BDCD-DAR
Provincial Office connects its best to the implementing agency, the LGU and the
NPCO with regards to the downloading of the initial releases of funds for the
continuity of project works.
