Subcompletion Report: Maseil –seil Watershed Rehabilitation Subproject

The Maseil –seil Watershed Subproject which lies between the provinces of Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija covers a total of 2,950 hectares. Maseil-seil Watershed although not officially proclaimed as a critical watershed is considered denuded. The loss of its forest cover is very evident. During summer months, one can see the deforested mountain and the dried riverbeds. Life has become harder for the people within and around the watershed.

The Community Site Development (CSD) activities and the Infrastructure Development Component have provided employment opportunities to the members of the PO’s and the surrounding local communities. A total of 74,240 man days were generated that resulted increase of 33% in the average annual household income.

In terms of the infrastructure, the project participants find the farm-to-market road and the hanging bridge very useful in facilitating mobility and transporting their farm products to market centers.

Despite the setbacks suffered by the PO’s in the implementation and the attainment of the required standards of DENR, their commitment to pursue the rehabilitation of the watershed has not diminished but strengthened their desire and obligation to continue what they have started.
