Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 3
1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The North and South Pasig sub-catchment is a sewerage system sub-catchment area that
is one of the twenty or so sub-catchments that forms the Three River Wastewater
Management Master Plan Manila Water Company, Inc. (MWCI) which aims to expand
sewerage infrastructure that will address pollution discharging into the rivers of Pasig,
San Juan, and Marikina. The North and South Pasig Sewerage System project will allow
for construction of a major sewage treatment facility and laying of sewer network to
cover Pasig City has been nominated by MWCI for funding under the World Bank
supported Metro Manila Wastewater Management Project or MWMP.
The North and South Pasig sewerage system project will a total area of 3,443 hectares.
The project area includes Pasig City, portion of Mandaluyong City and Quezon City and
municipalities of Cainta and Taytay. Figure 1 shows the coverage area.
Figure 1. North & South Pasig sub-catchment
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 4
It is bounded on the north and northwest by EDSA and Katipunan Ave., on the west and
south west by Pasig River, on the east by Manggahan Floodway, and on the south by
Laguna Lake.
The land use for the cities and municipalities varies. In Mandaluyong City, residential
land use still remains the dominant use due to increased housing by way of large clusters
of residential towers and medium rise housing. The Pasig City land use plan calls for
conversion of industrial areas to commercial areas. However, industrial activities are still
present in the area. There are approximately 200 large industries located in Barangay
Ugong, Bagong Ilog, Rosario and Manggahan.
Prominent areas of commercial activity is the Ortigas Center ( Central Business District
of Pasig) and the Pasig public market near the City Hall. The barangays of Bagumbayan,
St. Ignatius, Ugong Norte and White Plains which comprise the portion of Quezon City is
a mix of several offices, commercial and residential high-rise buildings. Meanwhile,
Cainta LGU allotted more than 50 % on residential use and 10 % on commercial use.
Commercial areas will be zoned along the town’s major roads. The Municipality of
Taytay increase industrial land use which makes it different from the other LGUs within
the sub-catchment.
The North & South Pasig Sewerage System has two components: 1) Ilugin STP and 2)
Sewer Networks. The project involves construction of STP and sewer network.
The identified location of the STP is at M.H Del Pilar, Barangay Pinagbuhatan, Pasig
City. The estimated capacity of the STP is 165 MLD designed to year 2020. The sewer
network will be composed of approximately 64 km of sewer lines, 56 interceptor boxes,
and 11 pump stations, based on the Pasig River Catchment Sewerage Project Feasibility
Study.
The STP site has a land area of 50,000 square meters with an access road of 889.5 square
meters. It is located at M.H del Pilar St. Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City. Figure 2 shows the
location of Ilugin STP.
The Ilugin Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is a component of the Pasig North & South
Sewerage System sub-component. The project aims to treat collected sewage flows of
Pasig City, portions of Mandaluyong City and Quezon City.
Presently, the catchments to be served by Ilugin STP have an estimated 550,000
populations that mostly employ household septic tanks. However, septic tanks provide
only primary treatment for domestic wastewater which is insufficient to meet sewage
discharges compliant with environmental standards. Ilugin STP will provide complete
treatment of the domestic wastewater of the catchment.

1.1 Background On Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City
Barangay Pinagbuhatan, where the project is located, is the largest and most populated
barangay in Pasig City. Majority of the population are poor and low to middle income
families. There are some middle to high income communities such as Greenwood
subdivision are also present.
The prevalence of poor to low-income communities can be traced back in the 1980s when
Barangay Pinagbuhatan became a resettlement area of informal settlers from San Juan
and Taytay, in the Nagpayong area in particular. Shanty and poor housing were
improved around early to middle 2000 through community development projects and
community mortgage programs implemented by the local government.
After the devastating typhoon Ondoy additional informal settlers relocated in Barangay
Pinagbutan fleeing flooded lands. Several shanties and semi-permanent structures can be
seen along the newly opened C-6 road. To date, the office of Barangay Chairman
(currently Mrs. Monica Asilo) has on-going relocation and compensation activities for
informal settlers residing near creeks, canal and rivers to prevent any loss of lives during
typhoon season.
1.2 Background On Acquired Private Properties
1.2.1 Cruz Property
The acquired property, with an area of 50,000 square meters, was previously owned by
the heirs of the deceased Cruz patriarch namely, Mirma Cruz- Saruca, represented by her
son Atty. Cris Cruz-Saruca, Gabriel Cruz Jr., Adonis Cruz, Leny C. Ledesma, Armando
Cruz, Roxani Cruz Olarte, represented by her husband Pepito Olarte, and heirs of the
deceased Orlando Cruz, represented by their lawyer, Atty. Al C. Parreño.
In the 1980s, the Cruz property was invaded by some informal settlers. The Cruz-Saruca
family extended great efforts and expense to secure the property through the decades. In
the intervening years, the property was left undeveloped and due to limitations in cash,
the family did not properly fence the property. However, the Cruz family employed
caretakers such as Ernesto Lita (also a handy man of the Cruz-Saruca household) to look
after the property and prevent informal settlers from squatting in the property.
Eventually, squatting of informal settlers was inevitable particularly at the margins of the
property and some households squatted at the northern edge of the property along the
banks of the creek.
These group was informally endorsed there by previous Barangay Chairman Rodrigo
Asilo (now Councilor), around 18 years ago, taking advantage of the poor delineation of
the northern border of the property along a marshy creek. Among this group was
Rodolfo Soberano, a friend of Mr. Asilo, and is employed by the barangay and is a driver
of the Asilo family. This group of informal settlers built houses over the creek gradually
reclaiming the marshes and gradually expanding their houses. Later on, geodetic survey
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 7
would reveal that the structures of this group of informal settlers lie within the Cruz
property and have to be relocated. The Cruz family identified these families, seventeen in
total, to be eligible for compensation.
In recent years, another group of informal settlers were tolerated by the Cruz family with
the understanding that they are relatives of the caretaker Ernesto Lita and that they till the
otherwise unused land for agriculture. These families cultivated crops such as kangkong,
malunggay, sweet potatoes, cassava, bananas and pechay for their consumption with the
excess being sold at the nearby public market. The understanding of the Cruz family was
that these families did not reside on site and went there only to till. The structures erected
by these families were thought to be day-resting areas only. The Cruz family did not
consider any of these people to be eligible for compensation.
The front portion of the property, which was not acquired by MWCI, was used to be
occupied by an apartment building.
1.2.2 Rama Property
The Rama property was owned by Reynaldo Rama, Jaime Rama Jr., Regienald Rama,
Ronald Rama and Rowena Herrera. The property, with an area of 889.5 square meters,
was acquired to serve as access road to Cruz property. The property was used as
residence of the owner and caters to their business transactions. There were no informal
settlers found residing in this property.
2. OBJECTIVES OF THE RESETTLEMENT COMPLETION REPORT
This Resettlement Completion Report discusses the socio-economic characteristics of the
affected families, impacts due to acquisition of land for the STP site and access road and
actions taken to minimize adverse effects of relocation by providing the affected families
with working options.
The sewer networks, based on MWCI’s practice, will be located along major and minor
roads and are not expected to encounter resettlement. The alignment of the proposed
sewer network is preliminary only. The final alignment will be planned in detailed during
the design period. In the event there will be impacts on private / public assets and/or
livelihood, MWCI will address the concerns in accordance with the provisions of the
ESSF for the project.
3. LAND ACQUISITION PROCESS
3.1 Cruz Property
The most feasible location for Ilugin STP was found to be a private property in Barangay
Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City accessible through M.H Del Pilar St. and covered by TCT No.
PT-140253 has a total lot area of 50,000 square meters. The property is bordered by the
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 8
Ilugin River to the southeast, Pinagbuhatan Creek to the northwest and residential houses
in the north.
The property (hereinafter the Cruz property) is owned by Mirma C. Saruca, Gabriel Cruz
Jr., Adonis Cruz, Leny C. Ledesma, Armando Cruz, Roxani C. Olarte and heirs of the
deceased Orlando Cruz, represented by their lawyer, Atty. Al C. Parreño.
In June 10, 2009, CESSON Appraisal Corporation, the duly authorized broker of MWCI,
submitted an appraisal report to MWCI. After positive result on the due diligence on the
land status, Manila Water through its brokers entered into discussions and negotiations
for the private commercial acquisition of the land. To protect the interests of MWCI, its
identity as interested buyer of the property was not revealed to the landowner until the
execution of the legal documents.
In April 23, 2010, Manila Water entered into a conditional sale with the owner. The
conditional deed of sale essentially reserves the property for a latter final sale to MWCI
while allowing the landowner to prepare required documents and preparatory activities to
ready the site for physical acquisition. These preparatory activities included the
compensation and resettlement of informal settlers within the property.
In particular, the Conditional Sale indicated the following in Section 4 Paragraph C: “For
Lot 4-B-1, the VENDORS at their expense shall remove all informal settlers/squatters
who are presently occupying the portion thereof within ninety (90) days from the date of
execution of this Deed .“ Manila Water, for its part enforced that the previous
landowner consult with the project affected people and provide compensation and
assistance…”
MWCI executed the final Deed of Absolute Sale with the previous land owners on Dec
23, 2010.
3.2 Rama Property
Foreseeing the difficulty in accessing the proposed facility from the narrow access roads
of M.H del Pilar St., MWCI again engaged its brokers to identify alternative access
points.
CESSON Appraisal Corporation, completed a due diligence on the parcel of lot owned by
Reynaldo Rama, Jaime Rama Jr., Regienald Rama, Ronald Rama and Rowena Herrera on
February 15, 2010. The property (hereinafter, the Rama property) covered by TCT
No.PT-140740 which has a total lot area of 889.5 square meters fronts A. Sandoval
Avenue. The landowner engaged in a commercial transaction on lot purchase with
MWCI through CESSON and signed the Deed of Absolute Sale of the lot on December
22, 2011.

4. THE PROJECT-AFFECTED-PERSONS
Among the agreements with the previous landowner during the deed of sale transaction
was to take responsibility of the relocation of the affected families occupying the Cruz
property.
The owners of the Cruz family assigned Mr. Pepito Olarte, husband of Roxani Cruz-
Olarte, to carry out the resettlement of the affected families. In a phone interview,
minutes shown in Annex A, he mentioned that he sought the assistance of barangay
officials to properly conduct the resettlement and relocation activities. He also supervised
the identification of project affected families in coordination with the families
themselves. Based on this, he identified 17 families residing at the northern boundary of
the property as informal settlers and eligible for compensation. The names of the families
are shown in Annex B. After a series of discussion, negotiations and consultations, Pepito
Olarte, and representatives from the Barangay LGU, agreed with the informal settlers
with the following compensation: Group 1 with semi-permanent housing units will
receive P50,000.00; and Group 2 living in shanties/small temporary structures will
receive P 10,000.00.
The difference in the compensation was based on the house structures. Barangay Captain
Asilo mentioned that Group 1 owned bigger, semi-permanent houses and Group 2 owned
smaller houses and/or were living in areas underneath the bigger houses. During due
diligence, remnants of some concrete foundation were found at the site as shown in
Figure 4 below.
Figure 4. Debris From Houses of Group 1
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 11
In a discussion at the barangay office, Councilor Asilo also mentioned that he personally
negotiated for a higher compensation for Rodolfo Soberano, who is currently employed
as Barangay driver. Also, Asilo mentioned that Soberano is a long time friend where their
friendship started 18 years ago when he was the Barangay Captain of Pinagbuhatan.
Results of the negotiation with the landowner concluded that all Group 1 affected-
families were compensated with P50,000.00 for each affected family..
In addition to Groups 1 and 2, another group of project affected persons were identified
as Group 3. Group 3 are those who resided within the property in small shanties with
most of them using the land for vegetable farming. This group had been relocated but did
not receive compensation from the Cruz family. Due diligence found out that there were
around 12-13 of these unpaid relocated families but their present relocation are unclear
except for one , the Junjun and Carmen Lita who moved to Taysan, Batangas.
Result of investigation points out that Junjun Lita is the nephew of Ernesto Lita, the
handyman employee of the Cruz-Saruca family. Aside from doing handyman jobs at the
Cruz-Saruca household, he is also tasked to look after the Cruz’ property and protect it
from encroachment of informal settlers.
In an interview conducted with Junjun and Carmen Lita, as part of due diligence, they
said that they have been paying rental fees to Mirma Cruz-Saruca which was collected by
their uncle Ernesto Lita for their stay and cultivation of the farm lots.
From their recollection, Junjun and Carmen Lita provided names of the other tillers
within the property, which is shown in Annex C. According to Junjun and Carmen these
other tillers also pay rent through Ernesto Lita. However, investigation reveal that
Ernesto Lita was never authorized by any in the Cruz family to collect rent in exchange
for staying in the land and/or tilling it.
In an interview with Atty. Cris Saruca in Annex D, son of Mirma Saruca and the official
representative of the family for the land acquisition transaction, he attested that the Cruz-
Saruca family doesn’t know the Lita family. He further attested that the Cruz-Saruca
family did not receive any payments from the Lita’s, and from Ernesto Lita, their
caretaker, or from any of the families.
Mr. Pepito Olarte, the husband of Roxani Cruz-Olarte one of the owners of the property
and official representative of the Cruz family for resettlement transactions, corroborated
Atty. Cris Saruca’s statement that they did not authorized Ernesto Lita or anybody to
allow any informal settlers to stay in the property and pay rent. They knew of a small
group of informal settlers (which we now know as the Group 3 informal settlers) but only
tolerated them as they saw their activities as non-threatening to the overall security of the
property.
The Cruz family did not consider the Group 3 families to be eligible for compensation
because they think that the said families were already generating considerable income
from the sale of their produce using the land for free through the years.
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 12
Investigation of MWCI revealed that Group 3 families indeed resided within the property
apparently without the landowners’ knowledge. Group 3 families even hid evidence of
their numbers by multiple families staying in one house.
Figure 5. Pre-displacement pictures
The Figure 5 (provided by the brokers) shows the shanties which belonged to Group 3.
The landowners had mistaken it to temporary resting place for tillers. The Cruz family
claims that Group 3 entered the property when the news of the compensation in May
2010 broke out. Mr. Olarte said that informal settlers continue to build up and reside
there, in the hope that they will be compensated by MWCI or by the landowners.
However, as observed during the site visits, the vegetable plots and fruit trees planted by
these tillers show the age of the trees e.g. mango, banana, pomelo and some other plants
these tillers have planted are evidence that they have been residing in the property for
some time. The age of the mango tree beside the shanty of Junjun and Carmen Lita
which they say they planted looks like it is around 4-5 years old. These are proof that
some of these tillers have been residing in the property for some time. Even the plots of
sweet potatoes (kamote) show that these plots have been existing for a long period.
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 13
Despite these different facts, MWCI agrees that these Group 3 families should be
eligible for compensation. MWCI in an undertaking dated June 14, 2011, confirms that it
commits to compensate group 3 families, similar to the compensation of Group 2
families, provided that they satisfy the company’s requirements for identity verification.
MWCI will use the list provided by Junjun and Carmen Lita as one of the basis for the
identity verification.
Manila Water is endeavoring to locate the informal settlers so that compensation can be
extended to them. The company is conducting a silent search for Group 3 families.
After the reported completion of resettlement in May 22, 2010, MWCI as mandated by
the Management, conducted a public consultation in May 24, 2010 and invited the nearby
residents from the project site. MWCI aimed is to publicly disclose the identity of MWCI
as the new owner of the property. The public consultation also targeted to attract
claimants before proceeding to executing the Deed of Absolute Sale. A billboard was put
up at the entrance of the property to disseminate information regarding the project as
shown in Figure 6 below.
Figure 6. MWCI Billboard
When there was no report of claims from any affected person, MWCI execute the Deed
of Absolute Sale on December 22, 2010.
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 14
5. PROFILE OF SOME PROJECT-AFFECTED-PERSONS
MWCI was able to interview some of the co families. Discussion on how the resettlement
changed their lives was the main topic.
Mr. Rodolfo Soberano, grantee of P 50,000.00, is still working with Barangay
Pinagbuhatan LGU. He was grateful for the generous amount given to him. He
mentioned that he was able to buy rights for a small lot in Bgy. Pinagbuhatan where they
built his new house.
Maricel Emit-Raquel, wife of Dante Raquel and grantee of P 50,000.00, is still residing
near the property. She mentioned that they used the money to pay rent for the apartment
they currently living in.
Michelle Villareal, wife of Raymond Villareal and grantee of P 10,000.00 said that they
used the money to put up a small business making rags. She said that they transferred to
Cavite so they can use the money for a business rather than spending it to pay rent in
Manila.
Ryan Soberano, son of Rodolfo Soberano, who also received compensation of P
10,000.00 assistance used the money as placement fee for a job and is now working in
Dubai
Junjun and Carmen Lita, grantee of P 10,000, the only affected family in Group 3 whose
whereabouts was determined relocated to a vegetable and tree farm in Taysan, Batangas
where they are working as caretaker cum farm worker. Junjun has been sent by the
landowner to attend training in organic farming techniques and Carmen is being
supported by the landowner to pursue her dressmaking skills and put up a dress shop in
the public market in Taysan.
Present location of other compensated families have not yet been determined . But their
neighbors believe they relocate themselves to their respective provinces and in other parts
of Pasig City and/or other informal settlement sites within Metro Manila particularly
Taguig.
In the Rama property, the land required for the access road was owned by only one
household who had his house on the said property. Since the land was acquired through
private negotiations, no resettlement issue was identified. Only the owner’s house was
situated in the property. The Deed of Absolute Sale was executed between the landowner
and MWCI in December 22, 2010. The landowner requested time to transfer their
belongings to their new place of residence. The landowner finally left the property April
4, 2011 as confirmed by MWCI.
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 15
6. COMPENSATION, IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING
ARRANGEMENTS
Group 1 and Group 2 were invited in a consultation with the presence of barangay
officials to ensure the resettlement activity is carried out accordingly. As mentioned,
Group 1 was compensated with a considerable amount of P 50,000.00. The basis of
which is the relationship of the Barangay Officials (Asilo) to the Soberanos and
difference in the size and materials of the structures. Therefore, this report cannot
breakdown the financial assistance given to them. While for Group 2, the landowner
attempted to breakdown the financial assistance which will be seen below.
a. Transportation Allowance equivalent to an amount of P1,000.00 for transport of
the affected family and their belongings
b. Financial or Rental Allowance is a cash assistance given to affected families to
cover rental for a period of three (3) months. This is equivalent to an amount of P
6,000.00.
c. Livelihood Allowance is a cash assistance that is equivalent to P 3,000.00.
Other considerations:
a) The affected families were given sufficient time to dismantle their existing
structures to salvage sellable or reusable materials.
b) In consideration of the existing crops of the affected families, the landowner gave
the time to harvest their planted crops. The affected families were given one
month to do this but the owner allowed extension up to 3 months.
The landowner extended their consideration to Group 3 by
a) The affected families were given sufficient time to dismantle their existing
structures to salvage sellable or reusable materials.
b) In consideration of the existing crops of the affected families, the landowner gave
the time to harvest their planted crops.
In coordination with the Land Bank of the Philippines and the World Bank, MWCI
agreed that Group 3 will be eligible for compensation. MWCI executed a Memorandum
of Undertaking, attached as Annex E, to give compensation on the amount of P10,000.00
to Group 3 provided they comply with the following :
a) Submitted proof of identity is within the list of names submitted to MWCI (see
Annex C)
b) Claimant can identify location of his/her house within the property (map seen in
Annex F)
c) Claimant can be identified by the Litas and other neighbors
d) Submit proof of residence in Pinagbuhatan property, i.e 2010 Community Tax
Certificate or “sedula”, school report card of son/daughter
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 16
To comply with the Memorandum of Undertaking and ESMF, MWCI provided a
P10,000.00 compensation to Junjun and Carment Lita as shown in the acknowledgement
receipt in Annex G.
Moreover, MWCI is allocating budget of P110,000.00 to compensate the remaining 11
families identified by the Litas, in accordance to the ESMF framework.
6.1 Implementation Schedule
After consultation on May 22, 2010, the Group 1 and 2 have agreed to vacate the Cruz
property by June 21, 2010.
Actual relocation started August 2010 after the landowner gave additional time for the
affected families to harvest crops. The last family (believed to belong in Group 3)
vacated the site on September 2010, as verified by a visual inspection conducted by
MWCI.

In fulfilment of the commitment of MWCI to reach out to the remainder of the Group 3 project
affected families, MWCI coordinated with the first family traced, Junjun and Carmen Lita now
residing in Taysan, Batangas, to help locate their former neighbors.
With the help of Carmen Lita, MWCI was able to touch base with the project affected families.
Many of the said families were relatives of Junjun and Carmen Lita which they were able to
trace through network of relatives and former neighbours.
On July 29, 2011, MWCI arranged a consultation-interview meeting with the representatives of eleven (11) identified families. To manage the group, the meeting was arranged to be conducted in the business area office of MWCI at Bgy. Rosario, Pasig. Annex A shows the attendees and pictures of the meeting. The meeting was facilitated by MWCI Right-of-Way manager, Ms. Josephine Sta. Maria. MWCI Program Manager Ronald Muana provided a briefing, discussing the meeting objectives and the terms and conditions of post-resettlement assistance. Land Bank of the Philippines social safeguard specialist, Ms. Pie Diaz, was not able to attend the meeting.
After the briefing, each representative was interviewed along with the review of their
documents. In general the documents that the representatives provided were deemed sufficient
for confirmation that they were indeed the project affected families identified. Also discussed
during the interview are their post-resettlement activities including their new place of abode,
their sources of income, etc. The families were also asked for contact details for future
communication. Details of the result of the interview are covered in Annex B.
As all of the representatives of the project affected families were able to provide sufficient
evidence that they were the families who vacated the project site, the MWCI team decided that
the financial assistance can be provided in the same meeting—the project team considered
convening another meeting if the representatives failed to present sufficient.
MWCI provided Ten Thousand Pesos (P 10,000.00) for each family as a financial assistance
consisted with the Resettlement Plan broken down as follows:
a. Transportation Allowance equivalent to an amount of P1,000.00 for transport of the affected family and their belongings
b. Financial or Rental Allowance is a cash assistance given to affected families to cover rental for a period of three (3) months. This is equivalent to an amount of P 6,000.00.
c. Livelihood Allowance is a cash assistance that is equivalent to P 3,000.00.
Resettlement Completion Report: North&South Pasig Sewerage System Project 29
An acknowledge receipt and quitclaim were asked to be signed by the representatives as shown
in Annexes B. Carmen Lita, who was also present in the meeting, served as witness to the
documentation.
The total cost incurred by the company for the land acquisition and resettlement of project
affected families at the project site are as follows:
Land Acquisition
