1 As of May 31, 2014, the PPP-School Infrastructure Project Phase 1 (PSIP-1) has a total of 1,057 classrooms (Region 1 component) or 49%, completed. The 2,157 classrooms were programed for completion until April 2014, however, unavoidable delays like cutting and uprooting of trees, clearing and demolition of classroom and the like prompted the proponent to request extension until August % of the classrooms were on-going and others have variation order. The PPP-School Infrastructure Project Phase 2 (PSIP-2) with programmed 239 classrooms for the region,16 classrooms for Ilocos Norte, 28 for Ilocos Sur, 52 classroom for La Union and 143 classrooms for Pangasinan, were issued with site appraisal. Unlike the PSIP 1which was implemented using Build-Lease-Transfer (BLT) modality under the Public-Private Partnership, the PSIP 2 was implemented using Build-Transfer modality with the contract won by Megawide Construction Corporation. Erratum: The financial requirements for the CY 2014 is PhP 14.9 Billion not PhP 158 Billion as published in the CY 2014 RPMES Monitoring Plan. This was due to erroneous entries of 4 agencies.

2 The number of projects monitored for the first quarter increased by 4 based from the CY 2014 Project Monitoring Plan. These additional projects came from the enrolment of North Luzon Philippines State College (NLPSC). 103 projects were completed out of the 250 programmed to commence for the first quarter. This represents 23 percent of the 444 projects programmed for completion for the year. Some 124 projects or 28% are on-going and 217 projects or nearly 50% are yet to be completed before the year ends. These project implementations generated jobs equivalent to 2.2 Million man-days exceeding the first quarter targets by around 10, 000 man-days.

3 Approximately PhP 23 Million or 24.56% of the PhP Million programmed for SAP projects for the year were released as of the quarter and almost 91% of this was expended. For the first quarter, the region attained an overall physical accomplishment rate of 55.93%, this is just above the targeted rate of 55.59%. Carry-over projects fell short by -6.32% from its target of overall physical accomplishments attaining only 42.03% while current-year projects managed to hurdle its target rate pegged at reaching 56.10%.

4 The government expenditures reached PhP 1.3 Billion for the quarter representing 24.60% of the PhP 5.3 Billion programmed for the year. Bulk of the first quarter released, 98.3% or PhP1.28 Billion went to the 434 current-year projects and a residual of 1.7% or Php19.63 Million went to 10 carry-over projects. A total of PhP 9.75 million were released and utilized for the implementation of RAACC supportive projects as of the 1 st quarter. This accounts to 27.13% of the PhP 35.9 Million budgeted for the sector this year. Compared to the 253 projects programmed for the year under Regional Development Agenda (RDA), 67 projects or 26% were completed, 80 projects or 32% were in various stages of completion and 106 or 42% are yet to be implemented. The overall physical accomplishment for the quarter is 20.44% exceeding the 20.41% target by 0.03% despite the large % slippage incurred under the Environment Sector. The slippage was round out by the accomplishments under Infrastructure and Trade, Industry and Tourism sectors. During the period, 3 out of the 11 enrolled projects were completed while 5 were still all on-going and 3 are yet to be implemented. Overall, the 11 SAP projects registered an accomplishment level of 26.27%, just above the target In the Environment Sector, negative slippages incurred were due to delays on the implementation of Cadastral Surveys and Plantation Maintenance and Protection of the National Greening Program under implementation years 1, 2 and 3.

5 In terms of financial status, bulk of the total expenditures during the period went to Goal 1, Extreme Poverty Reduction, spending PhP million or 88.13% of the PhP 473 Million total MDG expenditures. Most of this was use in the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program implemented by the DSWD that provided assistance to around 200,000 families amounting to more than PhP 400 Million. Of the 35 projects enrolled under the Regional Action Agenda for Climate Change, 9 projects were already completed as the quarter ended, while 8 were still on-going and 18 projects are programmed to start on the following quarters. Overall, climate change supportive projects reached a physical accomplishment rate of 60.87%, slightly lower than its target for the quarter by negative 3.55%. In the Agriculture Sector, the AGRIPINOY Tobacco Farmers Trading and Food Processing project of National Tobacco Administration (NTAS) in the province of Ilocos Sur incurred % due to delayed release of fund. In the Governance Sector, the Philippine National Police (PNP) incurred negative slippages from its 3 programs on recruitment and special trainings. These were caused by the absence of recruitment quota and unreleased training fund. In the Infrastructure Sector, the following projects incurred delays: Seven road projects implemented by Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) incurred minor delays as the quarter ends. The continuation of the improvement of the UNESCO Heritage Site, Commercial Arcade and Plaza at Paseo de Paoay Phase I-B of the Province of Ilocos Norte failed to commence due to a suspension order issued last December 2, The Emotional Motivational Unit (EMU), a social infrastructure project of the Region 1 Medical Center Treatment is behind schedule by negative 29.83%.

6 Despite these delays, the Infrastructure Sector achieved a physical performance of exceeding its target by 1.38% since majority of the projects were implemented smoothly. The Trade, Industry and Tourism (TIT) Sector registered an accomplishment rate of 15.05% surpassing its target of 6.63%. This was generally attributed by Landbank of the Philippines- La Union from its Loan Releases to Small and Medium Enterprises project. Overall, PhP 796 Million of the programmed amount of PhP 2.59 Billion under the RDA projects were released. Infrastructure Sector gained the highest amount of 71% or PhP 564 Million, Agribusiness followed with 20% or PhP 162 Million and the residual totaling to less than PhP Million went to the other sectors. Generally, the positive performance was attributed from Goals1, 3 and 6 exceeding their targets by 0.9%, 0.25% and 0.36%, respectively. In addition, Goals 4 and 8 accomplished their corresponding targets at 100%. Projects under Goals 2, 5 and 7, however, need to be fast tracked as these incurred negative slippages during the period. Of the total 145 MDG projects monitored for the quarter, 24 have been completed, 31 were still on-going and 90 are yet to be implemented for the year. As the first quarter ended, projects in the region under MDG exceeded 91.87% target by 0.71% at 92.58%. A good indicator that we are nearing the achievement of the MDG targets by The main reason for the negative 12.08% slippage of Goal 2, Universal Primary Education, was the cancelation of projects providing cash incentives to honor graduates and financial assistance to day care workers in the Province of Ilocos Norte. Goal 5, Improved Maternal Health projects recorded the minimal delay incurring a negative slippage of 2.78%. This was accounted for under the advocacy projects of the National Nutrition Council 1 on radio programs and news prints.
