Subproject Completion Report of Sto. Tomas Watershed Rehabilitation Subproject

With the implementation of the Forestry Sector Project (FSP) using CBFM as its main strategy to rehabilitate the upland ecosystem, it empowered beneficiary communities economically, socially, technically and politically while transforming them into environmentally responsible managers.

One of the subproject of FSP is located in Santo Tomas Watershed in Tuba, Benguet encompassing Barangays Poblacion, Tabaan Sur, and portion of Twin Peaks and Tabaan Norte. The holistic approach of FSP covers development of Sto. Tomas Watershed's both resources and the inhabitants within the watershed. While the environment is being rehabilitated, inputs are also infused into the upland communities to make them effective forest managers and in the process to improve their social-economic status. Increase in income borne out of the Subproject activities and livelihood projects enabled members of the communities to acquire pieces of land, farm animals and equipment, vehicles as well as send their children to school, among others. Improvement in socio-economic status coupled with additional learning gained from trainings on various subjects gave the beneficiaries the much-needed self-assurance to manage the Subproject on their own.
