Key PAPSs in the 2015 budget that contribute to WS objectives
DPWH’s climate expenditures are mainly concentrated in the Flood Risk Management and Resiliency
Program, which accounts for 97% of WS expenditures (PHP 67.7 billion, compared to PHP 45.9 billion
in FY 2015). This Program has two key strategies:
(1) Implementing a river basin approach for effective flood control, and
(2) designing and constructing disaster-resilient public infrastructure facilities.
In support of these two strategies, DPWH supported several PAPs, including:
Construction/Rehabilitation of
Flood Mitigation Structures along
Major River Basins (DPWH, PHP 3.4
billion, compared to PHP 3 billion in FY
2015): In FY2016, DPWH set a target of 970
projects for the construction and
maintenance of flood mitigation structures
and drainage and 120 projects for the
construction and rehabilitation of 120
flood mitigation structures. This program
uses a river basin approach and focuses
on designing and constructing disasterresilient public infrastructure facilities for
effective flood control. However, only 8%
of DPWH’s flood management services
expenditure goes to major and principal
basins. Pilot spatial analysis on the Flood
Mitigation programs of DPWH is
completed for FY16 (Refer to Chapter VII),

Flood
Forecasting
and
Hydro
m eteorological Services in Major
River Basins (DOST, PHP 0.06 billion,
compared to PHP 0.16 billion in FY 2015):
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical,
and Astronomical Services Administration
(PAGASA) of DOST provides crucial
services of generating flood forecast and
information important to climate response,
especially for early warning, along major
and principal river basins. The allocation to
support these activities is 62% smaller
than the FY 2015 GAA, and has been moved
from expenditures tagged as KCD to WS.
In addition, the DPWH’s Construction of Rainwater Collection System s (RCS) constitutes 1%
of the total climate budget request for WS, in line with DPWH’s responsibility to lead in implementing
Republic Act No 6716 (Rainwater Catchment Law) for the installation of RCS in public schools and
other state facilities. A total of 513 rainwater collection systems have been installed through 2013. To
expand the program, DPWH’s approved climate expenditure is 600% more than the program’s FY 2015
GAA approved expenditure.
Finally, evaluation, integration and coordination of water resources plans and
program s at specific local sites are being im plem ented by the DENR–National Water
Resources Board (NWRB), which allocated PHP 0.03 billion. Although this represents an increase of
60% from the 2015, it accounts for less than 1% of the DENR’s climate budget for 2016.
