Road Rehabilitation of Jct. (LIR) Mahayg – Katipunan Road (Alicia Side) Project Re-gravelling, Raise Up
and Widening
1.0 BASIC PROJECT INFORMATION

The proposed road rehabilitation project is located in Barangays Katipunan, Mahayag, San Isidro and
Babag in the Municipalities of Alicia, San Miguel, Pilar and Dagohoy, respectively Province of Bohol. The
existing 5.725 km length and 5.0 lm width of earth road ends Katipunan, Alicia. This road serves as a the
main route of transport of local agricultural products of the Barangays of Katipunan, Mahayag, San
Isidro and Babag and other influenced barangays in Boyles (Ubay), La Suerte and Estaca (Pilar) and
provides access to goods and services available in the towns of Alicia, Pilar, Dagohoy, San Miguel and
Ubay. Presently, the condition of the road section is poor and deteriorated with no proper drainage and
during heavy rain, the road section is flooded, becomes muddy and slippery that pose risks to motorists
and pedestrian. It has an average annual daily traffic of two hundred ninety one (291). The rehabilitation
of the deteriorated earth road which is under the core road network of Management Unit II of the
Provincial Engineer’s Office (PEO) is urgently needed. Refer to Annex A Location/Vicinity Map including
Vegetative Cover.
1.2 Rationale
The purpose of the project is to upgrade the deteriorated earth road section along existing route to an
all-weather gravel road. The rehabilitation work will include embankment fill in selected sections, re-
graveling, raise-up, widening and drainage structures without altering the existing hydrology of the
surrounding area. The Provincial Government of Bohol will fund and implement the road upgrading. The
PLGU will carry out regular road repair and maintenance, and implement recommended environmental
measures when operational.
1.3 Expected Results
When completed, the rehabilitated road is expected to provide safe year-round access and enable local
residents to transport produce and avail of goods and services in the town proper of Alicia and its
neighboring municipalities. It is anticipated that the road improvement will generate substantial savings
in transport costs and vehicle operating costs, increase net value added of farm produce, and create
incentives for local economic activities. In the long-term, the project is envisioned to help improve the
living and economic conditions in Barangays Katipunan, Mahayag, San Isidro, Babag and Boyles.
2.0 PROJECT ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION Project Components The road rehabilitation project will be
implemented according to the DPWH Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges (2004), and
Special Provisions and Supplementary Specifications for the project. The project is the Rehabilitation of
Junction Loay-Interior- Road at Mahayag to Katipunan Road situated on Alicia side. It is classified as a
Core Road. Embankment materials, surfacing materials and other road accessories are the needed
materials for the project. The scope of work has specific activities namely: pre- construction,
construction and post-construction phases. The project component activities are described in Table 1.

Local Topography
Terrain/Slope The road section below the rice-field is of flat terrain and partly rolling
Elevation 131.8 to 144.1 m AMSL Local Geology
Soil Type Alicia has four (4) known soil types, namely: Ubay clay,
Faraon clay, Candijay Clay and rough stone land. The most dominant type is Ubay clay which occupies
7,802.03 hectares or about 68.14% of the total land areas. Faraon clay constitutes 2,158.32 hectares or
18.85%; Candijay clay occupies 1,095.76 hectares or 9.57% and Rough stone land occupies 393.88
hectares or 3.44% of the total land area. (CLUP-Alicia, p. 7)
Minerals The municipality is covered by five (5) rock formations, namely: Carmen Rock Formation (Mc),
Alicia Schist (Pta), Sierra Bullunoes Limestone (Msb), Boctol Serpentine (Ptb) and Ubay Volcanics (Ptu).
Carmen formation covers 5,288.56 hectares or 55.11% of the total and area. the name of the formation
nis derived form Carmen town in the central part of Bohol where the type section is best exposed. It is
essentially composed of shale, sandstone, slabby to elastic limestone beds, conglomerare, siltstone,
mudstone and marl. Generally the sedimentary beds are low dipping and inter-bedded with each other
and assume a highly tuffacious nature. The base of the Carmen formation is a thin, medium-grained
particles of feldspars, glass shards, sharply angular glass and fragments of hexaltic horn bleeds. In
between shale beds are thin sandy tuffaceous stringers of volcanic ash and other pyroclastics. A period
of erogeny during the early Carmen time may have affected the complex structural behavior of the base
of the formation. The thickness of the exposure is difficult to determine. (CLUP-Alicia p. 5)
Local Hydrology Rivers/ Creeks The municipality is traversed by 4 major rivers, namely: Malitbog River,
Bagasiko River, Napo River and Cabatang River divides the boundary between Pilar and Alicia and
stretches a total length of 1.75 kilometers from its origin starting from the southwestern portion
between Barangays Cagongcagong and Katipunan ending at the western portion boundary between
Katipunan and Alicia. Bagasiko River starting from La Hacienda traverses Untaga Poblacion and Progreso
converging with the Cabatang River stretching to about 2.25 kilometers. This is known o be the longer
river in Alicia. Both Cabatang and Napo Rivers stretches to about 2 kilometers. The Tugasan Creek
originates at the northwestern portion of La Hacienda towards the northern end portion of Cabatang
stretching to a total length of 1.75 kilometers. This serves as the boundary between Alicia and Ubay.
There are 8 known springs located in Putlongcam, Mahayag, La Hacienda, Progreso, Cabatang, Cayacay,
Sudlon ang Napo. (CLUP Alicia, p. 7)
Present Use Agriculture including inland fisheries and Domestic Use Safe and potable water is an
essential requirement for a healthy population and therefore ranks high in the priority of infrastructure
needs of the municipality. The Level II water supply in the Poblacion and partly in Del Monte, Sudlon and
Putlongcam is supplied from a spring in sitio Puti that is brought to the service area by gravity. (CLUP
Alicia, p. 41)
Sensitive habitats/species
None within 6 km radius from the project site
Local Climate Climate type Like the rest of Bohol, the climate of the municipality of Alicia is classified as
Type IV under the Corona Classification which is characterized by evenly distributed rainfall throughout
the year. Alicia is generally out of the typhoon belt and seldom experiences severe weather
disturbances. The municipality as well as the entire island of Bohol is generally sheltered from the
effects of most air masses from adjacent islands. (CLUP Alicia, p. 4)
Annual Rainfall The average annual rainfall as transposed from the neighboring stations is about 2,074
mm/year per sqm. The average annual municipal rainfall is the sum of the average annual rainfall from
their respective river basin multiplied by the percentage of the municipal area within the river basin.
Monthly rainfall within the year differs in varying degrees. The months from July to December a re
usually rainy months, while the months of January to June are the dry months. The prevailing winds
come from the north. (CLUP Alicia, p. 4)
Natural Earthquakes/Volcanic No reported of past occurrences
Physical Hazards
Landslide/Erosion The areas that are not susceptible to erosion dominate the entire municipality. These
areas are characterized by the slopes which are level to nearly level wherein the drainage capacity of the
soil offsets the erosion potential. this occupies a land area of 6,330.71 hectares or 55.29% of the total
land area. Areas which are highly susceptible to erosion could be well observed on the northeastern and
southwestern portion of the municipality. This constitutes about 4,544.51 hectares or 39.69% of the
total land area of Alicia. These areas are characterized by an abrupt rise in elevation with slopes of over
8%. Areas moderately susceptible to erosion most likely occur in areas where slopes are characterized to
be nearly elevated which also depends on the type of soil present. This can be observed in the northern
portion of the municipality particularly in Untaga, Cabatang and Progreso. This occupies 574.79 hectares
or 5.02% of the total land area. (CLUP Alicia, p. 7-8) The project area (Katipunan) has none to low in
terms of its susceptibility to landslide and flooding (MGB Geo- hazard Summary)
Flooding The soil types of Alicia have high capacity to drain water from the rain, thus the municipality is
not prone to flooding and any hazards attendant to floods. On certain occasions, however, portions of
the Poblacion and Napo experience flooding particularly the eastern part when the Cabatang River
overflows. Approximately 420.21 hectares or 3.67% of the total land areas will be most likely affected
when flooding happens. (CLUP Alicia, p. 7)
Forest/ Vegetation Cover
Type Forest/Agricultural (coconut, rice, corn, fruits, vegetables, pasture grasses, native and exotic tree
species, banana, mangoes, rootcrops) and other non- forest products, like bamboos, rattan

Coverage area The forest is an important natural resource that provides a wide range of benefits to the
community even as in the case of Alicia, it only consists mostly of pastureland. It has been and continues
to be subjected to numerous conflicting uses that include food production, human settlements and a
variety of economic activities or a combination of the above. This has resulted in accelerated soil
erosion, siltation of rivers and waterways, shortages of wood and other forest products and the
destruction of plant and animal habitats. (CLUP Alicia, p. 24)
Protected Areas
Forest/Timberland
The municipality has a relatively small timberland area of 407 hectares representing 3.5% of its total
land area which can be found in 4 of the 15 barangays: Cagongcagong (71 hectares); Del Monte (109
hectares); Mahayag (128 hectares); Sudlon (99 hectares) (CLUP Alicia, p.78) The Municipality of Alicia is
within the Carood Watershed.
Coastal/Inland Waters
None
Land Area and Existing Land Use
Land Area (ha) 11,450 hectares (CLUP Alicia, p.77) Land Classification & Use
The municipality has 11,450 hectares. 11,043 hectares or 96.45% are classified as Alienable and
Disposable Land, while 407 hectares or 3.55% are classified as Timberland Area. (CLUP, Alicia, p. 77). The
existing general land use pattern of the Municipality of Alicia is typical of Philippine rural communities.
Predominantly agricultural, the settlements are widely dispersed and scattered. Houses are constructed
along the road and in the middle of their farms, which makes it difficult to introduce basic facilities and
services. There are areas, however where the concentration of settlements is located near their sources
of livelihood. (CLUP Alicia, p. 83)

Electricity 14 Barangays have access to electricity provided by BOHECO II.
Transportation
The growing demands for well-maintained farm-to- market roads have not been adequately responded;
road maintenance of existing roads had been poor and access to and from these areas have slightly
improved. The municipality has satisfied the standard of 1 kilometer per square kilometer of land area
since it has a total road length of 128.02 which the standard would only require 114.5 kilometers. There
are 11 bridges in the municipality with a total of 325.6 lm: (National 7; Provincial 1; Barangay 3).
Communication 1. Telephone: The municipality has two Public Calling Office (PCO); Islacom/Globelines
provides household connections in the Poblation area; Cellular Phones provided by SMART, GLOBE and
Sun Cellular

4.0 EVALUATION OF PROJECT ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT Table 4 presents the Environmental Impact Screening Matrix for the proposed road
rehabilitation project. No significant adverse environmental impacts have been identified and
determined to arise during project implementation. There is a portion of the road section that would
require cutting of a few planted trees. Considering that the road section is generally flat, some rice fields
will be affected by the road widening and raise up processes, thus road design should consider
adjustments especially in the embankment. The purpose of the road rehabilitation project will have to
be communicated effectively to the barangay officials and residents of the affected areas to gain
support. Only few houses in the area have bamboo fences that will be affected in the project. Table 4.
