What is SAWP? It is a production sharing scheme instituted under RA 9367 or the Biofuels Act of 2006, primarily to improve the so-cio-economic well being of workers in the biofuel industry including their families. This program will provide package of services that may include cash bonus distribution, maternity and death benefit assistance, training and education, livelihood assistance, emergency assistance, social protection and welfare ben-efits.

How is SAWP funded?

SAWP for bioethanol workers (using sugarcane as feedstock per DOLE DO No. 100-10)

It is financed out of contribution of sugarcane planters and accredited bioethanol producers for the benefit of bioethanol workers and their families. Currently, SAWP lien amounts to P13.43 per ton cane or Php0.19 per liter of bioethanol produced and sold.

SAWP for bioethanol workers (using molasses as feedstock - as proposed)

The proposed SAWP lien of Php0.07 per liter of bioethanol will be borne by accredited bioethanol producers for the programs and projects for distillery/plant workers and their families.

SAWP for coco biodiesel workers (using coconut as feedstock per DOLE DO No. 123-12)

The proposed SAWP lien for coco biodiesel will be supported by accredited Coco Methyl Ester (CME) producers at Php0.05 per liter of biodiesel to benefit coco biodiesel workers and their families. All SAWP contributions will be deposited in a government depository bank under the name of the Department of Labor and Employment and shall be treated as public trust fund. Additionally, all interest and earnings from deposits will en-tirely accrue to the SAWP fund which shall form part as ben-efits for biofuel workers and their families.

a. Livelihood Assistance b. Training and Education Assistance c. Social Protection and Welfare Benefits d. Emergency Assistance

To ensure non-diminution of existing benefits, sugar-cane plantation or field workers may avail of cash bonus, maternity and death benefit similarly pro-vided for under RA 6982 whenever sugarcane is used as feedstock. They may file their cash bonus claim from Their planters. For their maternity and death benefit, they may file their claims from the nearest DOLE Regional Office.

2. Project proposal shall be evaluated by the DOLE and if

found viable and feasible, it will be endorsed for review of the Tripartite Consultative Council. The DOLE and its partner NBB member agencies may assist the proponent in the proposal and business plan preparation, if requested.

3. Upon recommendation of the Tripartite Consultative Council, the Secretary of Labor and Employment shall take action on the project proposal.

4. Once proposal is approved, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) shall be entered into by the DOLE and the proponent.

5. Upon release of SAWP fund, proponent implements project for biofuel workers. A status report shall be regularly submitted to DOLE.

6. DOLE and concerned NBB member agencies may provide technical assistance and other necessary support services to the project, upon request.

How can SAWP help in making a competitive biofuel industry?

Provide opportunity to gain wider public support for use of biofuel, generate good will and enhance corporate image.

Build a long term commitment from farmers in providing a stable and continuous feedstock supply for biofuel production thus resulting to a steadier price of blended biofuel.

Contribute in maintaining employees loyalty, reducing turn-over rates or absenteeism, increasing employees morale and promoting overall productivity.

Help in promoting industrial peace and keeping harmonious relationship between workers and management to improve teamwork and cooperation in the company.

Alleviate poverty situation of farmers and farm workers particularly those involved in feedstock production, by providing opportunities to expand their livelihood assets and reducing their vulnerabilities to social risks.

Enhance sustainable growth of the company and create more value for all stakeholders in the biofuel industry.
