The proportion of poor families in the province have decreased from 31.9% in
2009 to 21.7% in 2012, respectively, but it is still higher from the national figure of 20.5
in 2009. A total of 26,563 families are still below the poverty threshold, with only9,864
families graduating out of poverty from 2009 to 2012.
Among the municipalities of Camarines Norte and as per municipal level small
area poverty estimates ranked 3rd in 2009 at 43.4% while Basud ranked 6th at 38.3%
poverty incidence among the twelve (12) municipalities of the province.
General Objective:
Consistent with the national thrusts and priorities, this project is aimed at
reducing poverty through provision of access infrastructure support facilities to
production, thus, increasing volume of investment from the private sector resulting to
sustainable economic development in the municipalities of Basud and Mercedes in
particular and in the province of Camarines Norte in general.

Fare of crop and commuters : 32 pesos
Distance : 25 Km
Time of Travel : 45 Minutes
Hauling/handling of Products:
During rainy days when Colasi river overflows, the road from Bgy. Colasi to Lanot is not
passable. Farmers usually hauled their crops by carabao drawn cart from their farm to pick-up point in
Colasi bgy. proper for pick-up by Public utility jeeps/trucks. Their hauling costs them 1 -2 pesos per kilo
e.g. for a sack of copra, the charge is 120 pesos since 1 sack of copra is 60 kilos. Rice on the other hand
with 50 kilos weight per sack is charged 100 pesos for hauling. Aside from hauling to the pick-up points
for land transport of crops, these are also hauled in various pick-up points for sea transport. They are
charged 1-2 pesos per sack/”kaing”. Farmers preferred land compared to sea transport due to its
cheaper charge and less handling. By sea transport, crops are transported to mangcamagong where they
are picked up by jeeps/trucks. In mangcamagong, they are again hauled to the pick-up point in
Camagong bgy. proper for pick-up by jeepneys or trucks. The hauling service fee is 10 to 20 pesos per
sack.

The alternate route during rainy days when Colasi River overflow making the subject
road is impassable is Bgy. San Vicente Road, Sipocot, Camarines Sur. This is ______ kilometers to
Sipocot Town proper. Affected areas are Colasi, Hamoraon, Lalawigan and Lanot, Mercedes.
Crops from these areas are hauled from the farm to the bgy. proper and then transported to the
market passing San Vicente, Sipocot, Camarines Sur.
3.2.4 Availability of other modes of transport which tend to compete with the
road under construction
The cost of hauling of crops from the pick-up point to the motor
boat is : _________ per sack/kaing
The existing medium of transport in the influenced areas are motorcycle, tricycle, private cars
and trucks. But during rainy days when Colasi to Lanut access is not passable due to river overflow of
Colasi River, crops are transported by motorboats to pick-up points in bgy. Mangcamagong, Basud. It
took at least ____ days to let down the river overflow.

3.2.7 Analysis of how the proposed road facility will close in the gap in
infrastructure development within the area in terms of generated,
induced and diverted traffic.
The poor condition of “Pinagwarasan to Lanot road segment has hindered the
development of 11 barangays: two barangays of Basud and nine (9) barangays of Mercedes,
Camarines Norte. Said road segment is very rugged, eroded, smooth (soily) with deep
potholes. Some segment of said road is flooded and very slippery during rainy days. Thus,
only a few public utility jeepneys (PUJ) are routing the place because of high vehicle
operating cost (VOC). This resulted to low frequency of trips, thus waiting time of
commuters is significantly high (1-1.5 Hrs). Moreover, because of the high demand for
service vehicles, high commuters fare and transport charges for crops are dictated by PUJ
operators. As such, farmers incurred higher transport cost of their crops brought to the
market. Long travel to commercial centers is experienced by commuters at 1-3 hours. The low
frequency of vehicles also increased waiting time of commuters who are going to Daet.
Vegetables and rootcrops quality declined when they are transported to the market due to
long trips and bumby roads, thus, can be sold for lower price (_____).
.
Moreover, with the very poor road condition, the produce could not be brought immediately
to the market. This result to at least 8 % spoilage of produce particularly pineapple per
report from farmers due to exposure to harsh environment and handling damage during
hauling. At normal condition, spoilage on coconut/copra and pineapple during transport is
estimated at 3 %.
The realization of the project will brought more benefit to the farmers of the eleven (11)
influenced barangays in terms of reduced transport cost of crops to the market from 75 %
reduction in hauling and handling cost, 5 % reduction in transport losses due to
deterioration and quality decline of crops because of the bumpy and long travel from the
production area to market. Consequently, commuters waiting time will also reduce from 1.5
hour to 15 minutes, since, the frequency of PUJ routing the area will also increase.
Commuters from one barangay to another will also benefit with the project In terms of lower fare
per distance traveled with PUJ. The basis for said projection is in areas in Camarines Norte with
well-paved road.

D. Reduction in Hauling and handling Cost Incurred by Farmers During Rainy Days
Hauling of agricultural products particularly during rainy days is usually through carabao-
drawn cart to the pick-up point, then transported to Daet market by means of public utility
jeepney/truck. The hauling service fee is Php. 1.00 per kilo. Consequently, transport fare per
sack of copra from Bgy. Colasi to Daet is Php. 50.00.
With the project, the farmers will be able to save at least Php. 60.00 per sack (the amount
corresponding to the hauling cost) of copra brought to the Market. A sack of rice is charged
at 50 pesos hauling fee. Other crops are charge the same hauling fee per kilo.
When the medium used for transport is sea vessels, particularly motorboats, the farmers also
pay for loading and unloading their products at the rate of 5-10 pesos per sack.
With the realization of the project, the cost of vehicle operation (based on 2013 standard
VOCs) per kilometer course by the vehicle in the project decreased as follows:
Type of vehicle plying Number Number of trips per Number of days per
the proposed sub- day week plying the
project proposed sub-project
Public utility jeep 13 3 7

The residents travel by foot from the interior sitios to the Barangay Proper to be able to access
basic social services and other amenities they need. With the realization of the proposed road sub-project,
the frequency of public utility jeepneys routing the area increases, thus, decreasing the waiting time spent
by commuters from 1 hours and 30 minutes to just 30 minutes. Commuters will have a fast travel to
commercial centers, schools, hospitals, government offices or churches at Basud or Daet proper. Access
of residents of the 11 influenced barangays to various amenities in Basud and Daet proper will also
improve, particularly 7,697 women, 319 High School students and at least 100 crops/fish traders in the
area.

The economic value of materials and equipment are computed by adding the base cost (POW
shown Cost) and OCM. Here the tax and contractors profit are excluded since tax goes back to
society in the form of basic services while contractors profit returned to society in the form of
employment, thus, already benefited society. Considering them in the computation for economic cost will
be a double counting of benefit to society.
On the other hand, the economic value of unskilled labor is computed by using shadow wage
factor of 0.6. This is so, since the demand for unskilled labor is low compared to supply. There is a great
supply of unskilled labor compared to the demand for it, thus, a shadow wage factor less than 1.0.
Moreover, the shadow wage factor for skilled labor is 1.0, with great demand by the society. Foreign
exchange conversion to economic cost uses a conversion factor of 1.20. The value of imported goods
to society is greater than 1.0.
