“I thank the BBB Davao Oriental for prioritizing vegetative debris clearing becauseI benefited from the Cash for Work of UNDP. It also gave me opportunity for anew work to earn a living for my family-that is preparing immediately the land forcrop production after the completion of vegetative debris clearing activities in mynew land lord’s farm” shared by Mr. Ryan Combas, 27 y.o.

Mr. Combas, Maried, and a resident of Sito Lambog, Carmen, Boston, DavaoOriental owned a 2 hectare coconut farm which is just enough to support thebasic needs of his family. After typhoon Pablo, only 8 coconut trees were notuprooted which means total lost of his livelihood source.

“Our life became miserable after the typhoon. My family stayed until now in atemporary tent. We depend our daily food from humanitarian support. The UNDPCash for Work on vegetative debris clearing in partnership with BBB DavaoOriental was a big help to my family. I saved the PhP2,226.00 I got from UNDPCfW for my 2 college level sisters for their partial enrollment fees this school year.

The vegetative debris clearing in agriculture areas opened an opportunity for meto earn a living as a tenant and immediately tilled the land for rice cropproduction. I am thankful because the 75% share I will get from the rice farmingas tenant will at least a big help to support the basic needs of my family and willbe a big help to support for tuition fees of my 2 college level sisters.

How I prayed that I could have at least PhP5,000 money to use it as capital for fishtrading” Mr. Combas quoted.

Restarted Farm Activities AfterVegetative Debris Clearing

Family Ventured Vegetable Garden AfterVegetative Debris Clearing

“We are very happy that we are allowed by our land lord to plant a 900 sq.m.vegetable garden after the vegetative debris clearing support of UNDP incollaboration with BBB Davao Oriental” shared by Mrs. Abelia Castilliones (58y.o.), wife of Mr. Edwin Castilliones of San Alfonso, Cateel, Davao Oriental.

Mr. & Mrs. Castilliones are tenants of 5 hectare coconut farm for 35 years . Afterthe typhoon pablo destroyed 90% of their farm area, their daily food depends onhumanitarian food assistance since they do not have job to earn a living.

The debris clearing support of UNDP as requested by BBB Davao Oriental did notonly provided temporary job to Mr. Castilliones but also strengthen therelationship of couple through the establishment of 900 sq.m. vegetable gardenwhich became a bonding time for them.

“Our landlord allowed us to utilize portion of his farm for vegetable productionsince he do not have current capital to replant his farm” Mrs. Castilliones added.

The debris clearing support enabled us to pay our debt as well we are hopeful toachieve additional income of PhP38,580.00 for the one cropping cycle.

“Filipinos are known for being resilient amidst major disasters. EvenFilipino children themselves could cope up immediately from extremedisasters like the typhoon Pablo through playing active games.

Many parents including my self are very happy every time I watchedchildren who enjoyed playing athletic games like basketball, volleyball, etc.These activities are very good psychosocial activities for children and adultthat for sure would contribute on healing the traumatic experiences theyhave during the fierce typhoon Pablo occurrence on December 4, 2013 thatdestroyed houses, socio-economic infrastructures, agricultural crops,injured many, and killed lives.

We are very grateful to the UNDP Debris Management Project being thelead agency in debris management in our area because they immediatelyresponded to the call of the Building Back Better framework andmechanism of Davao Oriental provincial government for the priorityconcern on clearing the estimated 6 million fallen coconut tree all overDavao Oriental to jumpstart agricultural production.

I never thought that other indirect effect of vegetative debris clearingactivities will have psychosocial healing through to the establishment ofchildren’s athletic game facilities like basketball and volleyball utilizing thecut coconut logs”
