ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 347 -
PROVIDING FOR THE CREATION OF AN INTER-AGENCY TASK FORCE TO OVERSEE THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SOCIAL ENGINEERING COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED
PROJECTS IN THE PROVINCES OF PANGASINAN AND BENGUET IN THE COURSE OF
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SAN ROQUE MULTI-PURPOSE DAM PROJECT
WHEREAS, the accelerated pace of
development in the Northern Luzon Quadrangle Area makes imperative the
implementation of major infrastructure projects that will address the
peoples' needs for basic services such as power, irrigation, and flood
control facilities;
WHEREAS, in response to these
needs, the Government through the Department of Energy and the National
Power Corporation have proposed construction of the San Roque
Multi-Purpose Dam Project (SRMDP) in San Manuel and San Nicolas,
Pangasinan, and Itogon, Benguet through a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)
scheme;
WHEREAS, the SRMDP is expected
to generate 345 megawatts of reliable hydropower, irrigate about 87,000
hectares of farmlands and reduce by 50% the perennial inundation of at
least 16 towns in Pangasinan and Tarlac;
WHEREAS, to soften the impact on
communities that will be affected by the SRMDP's construction, the
Government had initiated a host of institutional, infrastructural and
program-specific responses with due regard for just and adequate
compensation, suitable relocation and livelihood opportunities and
preservation of history, culture and traditions particularly that of
the Ibaloi tribe in Benguet;
WHEREAS, in the conduct of the
advocacy program for the social acceptance of the SRMDP, the
participation and cooperation of a large number of government agencies
and local government units were solicited to make the campaign
wholistic and comprehensive;
WHEREAS, with the start of the
construction of the project this year, the Presidential Task Force on
the SRMDP, created pursuant to Memorandum Order No. 334, series of
1996, shall cease to exist;
WHEREAS, there exists a need for
a new body to oversee and ensure the successful completion of the
