Dear Director Brion:
We are pleased to transmit the Consolidated Report on the results of the Citizen Participatory
Audit of the Farm to Market Road Projects implemented by the Provincial Government of
Cavite, City Government of TreceMartires and Bacoor and the Municipal Government of Silang
and Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, all in Cavite Province.
The Citizen Participatory Audit (CPA) is a priority program of the Commission founded on the
premise that public accountability can prosper only with a vigilant and involved citizenry. CPA
is about strategic partnership and shared goals/objectives.
The conduct of CPA of FMR Projects aims to further improve the implementation of the farm-
to-market-roads in line with the commitment of the government to improve the quality of life of
the farmers and fisher-folks in the rural areas.
The audit observations and recommendations with significant impact on the implementation of
FMR projects are as follows:
1. The Concreting Reblocking of Langkaan Road at Barangay De Ocampo, TreceMartires
City with project cost of P997,978.35 was completed beyond its project duration, thus,
affecting the efficient delivery of the necessary support services in a form of
infrastructure to the target beneficiaries.
Closely monitor the implementation of the Farm to Market Road (FMR) projects to
ensure that the projects are implemented in accordance with the terms of the contract with
regard to time, quality, cost and other standards. Any deviation from the project duration
should be covered by approved time extension with justifiable reasons to be considered
valid.
Consolidated Citizen Participatory Audit (CPA) Report CPA Report No. 2016-01 Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) Projects, CAVITE Province Region IV-A (CALABARZON) 2
2. The implementation of the concreting of Farm to Market Road at SitioTaktak, Kaypaaba,
General Emilio Aguinaldo was not in accordance with the Program of Work (POW),
Plans and Specifications, resulting in a project deficiency amounting to P59,791.83.
Require the Contractor of the concreting of FMR of SitioTaktak, Kaypaaba, General
Emilio Aguinaldo to refund the project deficiency amounting to P59,791.83.
3. Longitudinal, transverse, hairline cracks, potholes/scaling and spalling on some sections
of the seven FMRs were noted, thus, affecting the life span of the projects.
Require the immediate repair on the cracks, spalling and scaling noted on the Farm to
Market Roads (FMRs) to prevent further damages/deterioration.
4. The actual location of Muzon-Labac Farm to Market Road (FMR) differs from that
shown in the design plan, thus, an indication that the conduct of field survey and site
inspection were not considered in the preparation of the design plans, contrary to Section
17.6 of the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act (RA) 9184.
Ensure that for future projects, the detailed engineering should be carried out sufficiently
such as survey and site investigation before the preparation of the plan in compliance
with Section 17.6 of the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 9184 to
ensure that the technical requirements are complete before bidding and award of contracts
and all works paid are existent at the prescribed location.
5. The concreting of the Iba-Tubuan-Pajo Road, a Farm to Market Road (FMR) Project of
the Municipal Government of Silang, Cavite involving a total amount of P911,149.38
was paid without complete documentation as required under Section 4 (6) of Presidential
Decree No. 1445, thus casting doubts on the validity and propriety of the payment made
for the said transaction.
Ensure that all the required supporting documents are duly signed and attached to the
Disbursement Voucher before payment to facilitate review of the validity and propriety
of the disbursements.
6. The publicity requirement on the implementation of the Farm to Market Roads (FMR) in
the form prescribed under COA Circular No. 2013-004, was not observed, thus, affecting
the promotion of public awareness on the FMR projects implemented by the City.
Observe the publicity requirement for government programs, projects and activities as
required under COA Circular No. 2013-004 dated January 30, 2013 to promote good
Consolidated Citizen Participatory Audit (CPA) Report CPA Report No. 2016-01 Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) Projects, CAVITE Province Region IV-A (CALABARZON) 3
governance through transparency and accountability, and to encourage public
participation.
7. The construction/improvement of DaangKalabaw, involving a total amount of
P8,969,173.76 in a non-agricultural and fisheries production site is not in line with
Department of Agriculture (DA) Administrative Order No. 6 series of 1998, thus
defeating the purpose of the project.
Conduct proper identification of the FMR to ensure that the road is linked to agriculture
and fisheries production sites, coastal landing points and post-harvest facilities to the
market and arterial roads and highways.
The audit observations and recommendations are discussed in the Results of Audit portion of the
report.
We respectfully the assistance of that office in monitoring the implementation of the audit
recommendations and that this Commission be informed of the action taken thereon by the
concerned local government units in the Province of Cavite.
We acknowledge the support and cooperation of the respective local government units in Cavite
province.

1.0 BACKGROUND
Consolidated Citizen Participatory Audit (CPA) Report CPA Report No. 2016-01 Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) Projects, CAVITE Province Region IV-A (CALABARZON) 4
Republic Act (RA) No. 8435, otherwise known as the Agriculture Modernization Act of the
Philippines, prescribes urgent related measures to modernize the agriculture and fisheries sectors
of the country in order to enhance their profitability, and prepare said sectors for the challengers
of globalization through an adequate, focused and rational delivery of necessary support services,
appropriating funds therefore and for other purposes.
Pertinent portion of the RA states thatit is the declared policy of the State to enable those who
belong to the agriculture and fisheries sectors to participate and share in the fruits of
development and growth in a manner that utilizes the nation’s resources in the most efficient and
sustainable way possible by establishing more access to assets, income, basic and support
services and infrastructure.
Section 46 of the said RA also provides that Department of Public Works and Highways, the
Department of Transportation and Communications, the Department of Trade and Industry and
the LGUs shall coordinate with the Department of Agriculture.To address the infrastructure
requirements in accordance with this Act. It likewise state that the Department of Agriculture
and the LGU shall strengthen its agricultural engineering support in carrying out the smooth and
expeditious implementation of agricultural infrastructure projects.
In like manner, Section52 of the RA also provides that the Department of Agriculture shall
coordinate with the LGUs and the resident-farmers and fisher folks in the rural areas in order to
identify priority locations of Farm to Market Roads (FMR) that take into account the number of
farmer and fisher folk and their families who shall benefit therefrom and the amount, kind and
importance of agriculture and fisheries products produced in the area.
The importance of implementation of FMR projects in country-side development that will help
uplift the lives of farmers and fisher folks in the rural areas and the role of LGUs in this regard,
led to the selection of FMR projects for the next pilot on Citizen Participatory Audit (CPA) by
the Commission. FMRs were subjected to CPA considering among others, the value and extent
of implementation, the degree of improvement the project will have in the quality of life of the
target beneficiaries, the importance of addressing the need to provide infrastructure access, and
its vulnerability to corruption. In Region IV-A(CALABARZON), the Province of Cavite was
selected as the pilot province.

Had there been regular and close monitoring of the implementation of the FMRs,
causes of the longitudinal and transverse cracks could have been detected and
rectified immediately. The delay in taking action on longitudinal, transverse, hairline
cracks, potholes/scaling and spalling on some sectionsof the projects will shorten the life
of the FMRs.
7.2.2 The implementation of the concreting of Farm to Market Road at Sitio Taktak,
Kaypaaba, General Emilio Aguinaldo was not in accordance with the Program
of Work (POW), Plans and Specifications, resulting in a project deficiency
amounting to P59,791.83.
Section 46 of Republic Act (RA) No. 8435, otherwise known as the Agriculture
Modernization Act of the Philippines, provides, among others, that Local
Government Units (LGUs), shall strengthen its agricultural engineering support in
carrying out the smooth and expeditious implementation of agricultural

7.5 Project Implementation in Priority Location
7.5.1 The construction/improvement of Daang Kalabaw, involving a total amount of
P8,969,173.76 in a non-agricultural and fisheries production site is not in line
with Republic Act (RA) No. 8435, thus defeating the purpose of the project.
Republic Act (RA) No. 8435, otherwise known as the Agriculture Modernization Act of the
Philippines defines Farm to Market Road (FMR) as road linking the agriculture and
fisheries production sites, coastal landing points and post-harvest facilities to the
market and arterial roads and highways.
Section 52 of the Act requires proper identification of priority locations of FMR by
taking into account the number of farmer and fisher folk and their families who
shall benefit therefrom and the amount, kind and importance of agriculture and
fisheries products produced in the area
On May 15, 2013, the City Government of Bacoor entered into a contract with ECS
Construction and Traffic Supply Enterprises, Inc. for the construction/improvement
of Farm to Market Road at DaangKalabaw, Barangay Salinas I in the amount of
P8,969,173.76. The Project was included in the Annual Investment Plan of the City
for the calendar year 2013 and funded out of 20% Development Fund.
Site inspection of the project disclosed that the area was not surrounded by
agricultural lots but of residential buildings and subdivisions. As can be gleaned in

7.6.2 Public Awareness of the Farm to Market Road
Notification to the public or publicity of the FMR promotes good governance and
transparency. Public awareness of on-going government projects awakens people’s
consciousness and interest and encourages active involvement of stakeholders.
We surveyed 299 respondents and determined whether they were aware that the
roads being constructed in their localities were Farm-to-Market Roads which has for
its objective the facilitating of access of their farm products to the markets. The

7.6.3 Utilization of the Farm to Market Road by the Community
The primary objective of the FMRs is to provide farmers and fisher folks with a
more convenient and efficient means to transport their products to the markets.
Condition before the concreting of FMR
The surveys revealed that prior to the construction of the FMR, the agricultural and
livestock products in the area and nearby barangays were being transported to the
market generally by hand-carrying (27%) or with the help of carabaos (12%) and
horses (19%). Thirteen percent (13%) were also using tricycles to bring their produce
to the market. The result of the survey is summarized in Table 6, below:

Before the construction of the FMRs, respondents had to travel at least 1 hour to go
to markets. The construction of the FMRs benefited 41 or 14% of the 288
respondents whose travel time was shortened to less than 1 hour. Majority or 80% of
them still needed 1-2 hours to travel. Nonetheless, this was a substantial
improvement considering that prior to the construction, 45% of the respondents had
to travel for 3 hours to more than 1 day to reach the markets.With the FMRs, that
number is significantly reduced to 2% as illustrated in Table 9.

EFFECTIVENESS OF PROJECT
7.3 RESULTS OF THE CITIZEN SURVEY
In connection with the CPA-FMR projects in selected Cities and Municipalities in the
Province of Cavite, the Audit Teams administered survey questionnaires to some residents
of the Barangays where subject FMRs were located. The purpose of the survey was to
determine whether the objective of the FMR of enabling the Barangay residents to
transport farm products, among others, to the market efficiently, was achieved. A total of
299 respondents participated in the survey. The results of the survey are presented below:
7.3. 1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTOR
The survey was administered from November 21 and 25, 2015 to the 299 respondents. As
shown in the following tables, respondents were a mixture of males and females. Majority
of them were in the bracket of 40 to more than 60 years old.

UTILIZATION OF THE FARM TO MARKET ROAD BY THE COMMUNITY
Condition before the concreting of FMR
The surveys revealed that prior to the construction of the FMR, the agricultural and
livestock products in the area and nearby barangays were being transported to the
market generally by hand-carrying (27%) or with the help of carabaos (12%) and
horses (19%). Thirteen percent (13%) were also using tricycles to bring their
produce to the market. The result of the survey is summarized in the next table.

Condition after the construction of FMR
As discussed above, prior to the construction of the FMRs, 58% of the respondents
largely relied on carabaos and horses or hand-carried their goods to the market.
Table 7 shows that after the completion of the FMRs, residents used a variety of
motorized vehicles such as trucks (11%), jeepney (26%), tricycles (25%) and
motorcycles/bicycles (17%) to travel. It was worthy to note that only 4% of the
respondents now hand-carry their goods compared to previous 27% as presented in
Table 5.

Before the construction of the FMRs, respondents had to travel at least 1 hour to go
to markets. The construction of the FMRs benefited 41 or 14% of the 288
respondents whose travel time was shortened to less than 1 hour. Majority or 80%
of them still needed 1-2 hours to travel. Nonetheless, this was a substantial
improvement considering that prior to the construction, 45% of the respondents had
to travel for 3 hours to more than 1 day to reach the markets. With the FMRs, that
number is significantly reduced to 2% as illustrated in Table 8 below.
