Environmental impact assessment, as a national instrument, shall be undertaken for proposed activities that are likely to have a significant adverse impact on the environment and are subject to a decision of a competent national authority.

Framework of Envi Laws

The Philippine Constitution declares that it is the duty of the State to protect and advance the right of the people

to a balanced and healthful ecology. This duty had earlier been codified in the Philippine Environmental Policy, which is the national blueprint for environmental

protection. The Philippine Environment Code, in turn, contains general principles dealing with the major environmental and natural resource concerns of the

Philippines.

(PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF

PHILIPPINES' ENVIRONMENTAL LAW Alan K.J. Tan, Faculty of Law

(9)

These two documents are very

broad and general, and contain

few substantive provisions.

Taken together, the Policy and

the Code can best be described

as forming the very basic

framework laws on the

(10)

Due to the generality of the

Policy and the Code, various

other laws have been enacted to

address specific environmental

concerns, notably

Presidential

Decree No. 1586 of 1978

, which

established the environmental

impact statement (EIS) system,

(11)

Altogether, these legislation recognise that the central theme of environmental protection in the country is the regulation

of land and marine use rights and the reconciliation of these with the principle of

sustainable development.

PROJECTS (ECP) PROJECTS (ECP)

• The project include activities that have significant environmental consequences

• A project in this category is likely to have significant adverse impact that may be sensitive, irreversible and diverse.

If the project is an ECP, an EIS document will

have to be submitted. It will be the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB-Manila) that has jurisdiction on the matter. In other words, a project that is categorized as an ECP falls under the authority of the EMB and must follow the steps identified with the preparation of an EIS.

• The impacts are not as sensitive, numerous, major, or diverse as ECPs impacts.

• Remedial measures can be more easily designed.

And if the the project is not an ECP but is located within an

ECA, only Initial Environmental Examination (IEE), or IEE

Checklist-type document, is required. It will be the EMB-DENR Regional Office who will have jurisdiction on the matter. In

An ECC is a document issued by the DENR/EMB

after positive review of an ECC application, certifying that the Proponent has complied with all the

requirements of the EIS system and has committed to implement its approved Environmental Management Plan. The ECC also provides guidance to other agencies and to LGUs on EIA findings and recommendations,

which need to be considered in their respective

decision-making process. The release of the ECC allows the project to proceed to the next stage of project

planning, which is the acquisition of approvals from other government agencies and LGUs, after which the project can start implementation.

An Environmental Compliance

Certificate (ECC) is not a permit and

PRIMACY

OF

(64)

Primacy of Jurisdiction:

Principle of primacy of jurisdiction of

other government agencies must be

given due consideration to further

streamline the Philippine EIS System

(65)

Primacy of Jurisdiction:

 certain social acceptability determination must be devolved to the local government units concerned

 issues that are within the purview or mandates of

other government agencies shall be resolved exclusively by the agencies concerned (health issues by DOH,

historical or cultural issues shall by National Historical Institute, National Commission on Culture and the Arts, and/or other relevant government agencies)

(66)

Primacy of Jurisdiction:

 streamlining the Philippine EIS System requires that concerns and issues under the jurisdiction or mandates of other government agencies must be

de-linked from the process of evaluating ECC

applications, as such, requiring clearances, permits or endorsements from other government

agencies may only be done as part of ECC conditions (and not as pre-requisites for ECC issuance).

VIII. MONITORING

In literal sense, monitoring of the project is through the conditionalities embodied in the issued ECC. Said ECC conditionalities had been conceptualized with the end view of making the proposed project as environmentally sound.

In the legal sense, monitoring means the monitoring by each concerned agency of the compliance to their mandated environmental protection program pursuant to their respective laws and rules.
