Strategic Planning and Logical Framework Formulation:

Keys towards successful development implementation

 In planning, one must conduct stakeholder

analysis in order to assess who are
affected of a particular problem.
The planner should also learn to identify
and prioritize interventions to avoid
duplication and implementation of PPAs of
not in significant need.
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of data
is a significant part of the planning method.
Page 29

 Problems should be analyzed to know the focal

problems, the goals and the root causes of the
problems. One good way is through the conduct
of Problem Tree Analysis
Logical framework approach follows the problem
analysis to determine the interventions and
PPAs. LogFrame is an imminent part in planning.
The Logical Framework is then translated into an
Action Plan for implementation.
Monitoring and Evaluation is conducted to
ensure the success of the PPAs and determine
whether the project served its purpose.

Zoning Maps and Zone Boundaries: Interpretation of the

Zone Boundary. In the interpretation of the boundaries for
any of the zones indicated on the Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply:
Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
follow the center of streets or highway, the street or highway right-ofway lines, shall be construed to be the boundaries.
Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the
boundaries.
Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately
parallel to the center lines or right-of-way lines of streets and
highways, such zone boundaries shall be construed as being
parallel thereto and at such distance there from as indicated in the
zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be
determined by the use of the scale shown in said zoning map.
Page 50

 Where the boundary of a zone follows approximately a railroad

line, such boundary shall be deemed to be the railroad right-ofway.
Where the boundary of a zone follows a stream, lake or other
bodies of water, said boundary line shall be deemed to be at the
limit of the political jurisdiction of the community unless
otherwise indicated. Boundaries indicated as following
shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines and in
the event of change in the shorelines, shall be construed as
moving with the actual shorelines.
Where a lot of one ownership as a record at the effective date of
this Ordinance, is divided by a zone boundary line, the lot shall
be construed to be within the zone where the major portion of
the lot is located. In case the lot is bisected by the boundary
line, it shall fall in the zone where the principal structure falls.
Page 51

 Where zone boundary is indicated as one-lot-deep, said depth shall

be construed to be the average lot depth of the lots involved within
each particular municipal block. Where, however, any lot has a
depth greater than said average, the remaining portion of said lot
shall be construed as covered by the one-lot-deep zoning district
provided the remaining portion has an area less than fifty percent
(50%) of the total area of the entire lot. If the remaining portion has
an area equivalent to fifty percent (50%) or more of the total area of
the lot then the average lot depth shall apply to the lot which shall
become a lot divided and covered by two or more different zoning
districts, as the case may be.
In case of any remaining doubt as to the location of any property
along zone boundary lines, such property shall be considered as
falling within the less restrictive zone.
The textual description of the zone boundaries shall prevail over
that of the Official Zoning Maps.

CBMS as a Tool for Poverty Reduction and CCA-DRRM

Community-Based Monitoring System

What is CBMS?
An organized way of collecting information at the local
level for use of local government units, national
government agencies, non-government organizations,
and civil society for planning, program implementation
and monitoring.
A tool intended for improved governance and greater
transparency and accountability in resource allocation.
LGUs provide inputs in the design of the CBMS data
collection instruments for greater applicability to
various communities and play significant roles in the
advocacy of CBMS to other LGUs and stakeholders.
It involves the complete enumeration of all households.
LGUs take the lead in the data collection and
processing, serve as the repository of the database and
use the data in the formulation of annual development
and investment plans.

What is CBMS?
Members of the community are likewise involved in
the whole CBMS process.
Data are submitted to the next higher geopolitical
level, allowing for the establishment of databanks
at each geopolitical level.
It uses a mapping software (NRDB) to facilitate
CBMS-based poverty mapping and for storing and
displaying household- and individual- level
information.
There are 13+1 core indicators that are being
measured to determine the welfare status of the
population. These indicators capture the
multidimensional aspects of poverty.

Uses of CBMS
CBMS builds the capacity of the members of the
community to participate in the development planning
and monitoring process
CBMS enriches existing LGU databases
CBMS enhances the preparation of socioeconomic
profiles, development and investment plans
CBMS aids in diagnosing poverty at the local level.
CBMS aids in formulating appropriate interventions
CBMS aids resource allocation
CBMS helps in identifying eligible beneficiaries
CBMS data can be used as basis for impact monitoring
of projects and programs
CBMS for Localizing the MDGs
