Mahintana Staff, Board of Trustees

he humble beginnings of Mahintana Foundation, Inc. trace back 32 years ago when a group of executives from Dole Philippines, Inc. and professionals from South Cotabato organized the foundation on August 12, 1977. In honor of the indigenous communities inhabiting the area, the term mahintana was coined from the B’laan terms mahin (sea) and tana (land). The B’laan is an indigenous tribe regarded as one of the earliest settlers in Southern Mindanao. MFI was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 12, 1977 (Registration No. 75603) as a private, non-stock, non-profit so-

cial development foundation, with Dr. Jorge F. Calderon, Sr as its Founding Chairperson. The foundation was then under the direct supervision of the Community Relations Department of Dole Philippines, Inc., with its initial programs on health (immunization), water system establishment, and reforestation of gullies and riverbanks within the areas of Mt. Matutum. To give more elbowroom to the foundation in developing and implementing its programs and projects, the foundation spun off from the company’s direct supervision in 1993, though it still continually extends its assistance in the implementation of various Community Devel-

opment projects of Dole Philippines, Inc. Over the years, Mahintana has expanded its programs and operations in close partnership with a variety of development players in the community. It has established strong networks and linkages with various local and foreign resource organizations, which was instrumental in building effective partnerships with the LGUs, NGOs, private sector, the academe, and other development players in the area. Among our initial donor organizations, supporting our conservation activities along the Mt. Matutum Protected Landscape (MMPL) and the Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape (SBPS), is the Australian Agency for International De-

velopment-Philippine Australian Community Assistance Program (AusAID-PACAP) who had been supporting our programs since 1994 to 2008. Another longterm partner in helping the Muslim communities in Sumbakil, Polomolok, South Cotabato is the Lutheran World Relief (LWR), who had been supporting our agricultural production and marketing program since 2002 up to the present time. Currently, Mahintana is governed by a Board of Trustees coming from the corporate, business and social development institutions, and is supported by professional staff with backgrounds in various disciplines. 21

essage from the President

ear 2010 highlights another period of service delivery in our pursuit of helping communities help themselves. It is worth noting that despite being confronted with the trying times, we were fortunate to have been able to manage in upholding our commitment as development workers of

our assisted communities. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone for the complementing effort in making Year 2010 remarkable and possible. We attribute our accomplishments to the steadfast support and trust of our fund donors and the dynamic partnerships of our respective LGUs

and stakeholders. Indeed, our success is your success. Likewise, we acknowledge the unwavering faith of our Board of Trustees and the strong dedication of our staff who professionally implemented the foundation’s projects. As we embark on our journey for Year 2011, we in-

xecutive Director’s Report

his year underscores Mahintana’s 33 years of comprehensive and intensive groundwork in realizing its mission and imparting its legacy to its assisted communities.

Year 2010 had been a productive year for us. Though we had our share of challenges, we took them as opportunities to strengthen our commitment and sustain our undertakings. This year had been the conclusion period of three (3) of our projects. Nonetheless, it also witnessed the launching of three (3) new projects from our USAID contracting partners. In addition, we received 24

the ongoing support of our long-time partners and fund donors, the Lutheran World Relief (LWR) and the European Union (EU), among others. On top of it, we regularly received assistance from Dole Philippines, Inc., of which, will intensify as they scale-up their development plan. These projects have considerably increased the reach of our Programs. Most significant, these forged new affiliations focused on publicprivate partnership (PPP) in support to the national government’s new direction of sustaining its programs of development. Our

accomplish-

ments reflect the active participation of everyone involved in our undertakings. Hence, we acknowledge and convey our deep appreciation to our generous fund donors, stakeholders, LGUs and provincial offices, and other key development players for sharing their invaluable inputs for the success of our project implementations. We are also happy with the support of our Board of Trustees and the dynamism of our staff who effectively implemented our different projects. As we approach the culmination of our 5-year development plan, we are set to review our past per-

formances to help us gauge our major programs’ accomplishments, milestones, and areas of improvement. Likewise, we are set to revisit our objectives in the identification of new directions, strategies, and interventions to fit the dynamic development of our communities. Equally, we are set to look into the organizational structure of Mahintana to respond to the new directions and demands of the organization. Thank you and looking forward for a better future!

ivelihood Enhancement and Enterprise Development

ith the intention of helping our target communities improve their productivity and increase

their income, the program actively advocates for judicious utilization and management of indigenous and local resources.

This program supports our organized communities through livelihood and enterprise development assistance.

unded by LWR for 3 years at P12.3-million, PEACE is now on its last year of implementation in partnership with SMPC. It aims to directly assist Barangays Sumbakil and Koronadal Proper in Polomolok, Datal Bob in Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;boli, and Simbo in Tupi, in the process bringing gains to 485 beneficiaries. On the Marketing, Milling, and Trucking Support component, SMPC increased its purchasing and marketing capacity by 47%,

indicated by the increased working capital and acquisition and operation of solar dryer, trucking, warehouse, and rice mill facilities. The project established 5 marketing outlets including 2 Dolefil-assisted cooperatives and developed partnership with 3 market suppliers for a sustained supply of milled rice. SMPC generated an average income of over P40,0000/ month while farmers realized a P4,500/hectare/year savings on transport and drying expenses by selling rice paddy products to the coop-

erative. The project contributed in stabilizing farm gate price, practice of fair trade in the market, and catered to the needs of members and non-members in Sumbakil and neighboring communities.

MICADEV Project

nitiated in 2008 and funded by the German Development Services at P500,000, the MICADEV Coffee Production Support Project aims to improve the production of quality Arabica coffee beans produced by local partner-farmers of Matutum B’laan Farmers Association in Purok 8, Barangay Kinilis, South Cotabato. The coffee production support continues to contribute in the knowledge and skills of farmers on community-based enterprise management. From 79 hectares in 2006, it expanded to 350 in

210

2010. Accomplishments on coffee production for 2010 include stabilized Civet coffee production, consistent annual sales increment, and increased number of Civet coffee farmers from 28 to 30. Outcome indicators showed improved quality life such as children’s education, acquisition of nine motorcycles used in transporting crops from the farm to the marketplace. This facilitated hauling, lessened waiting time, and lowered transportation cost by P500. On the community level, the project has promoted peace and develop-

ment in the area, which attracted more visitors, both local and foreign. It has improved environmental protection initiatives, empowered the community to engage in commercial activities, improved interaction with outside stakeholders, and ultimately enhanced the B’laan’s confidence and sense of importance. Further, the overall experience influenced adjoining barangays of Maligo and Landan to replicate the said agro-economic activities. Civet Year

South-Eastern Philippines Health and Economic Alternatives Project

nitiated in February 2009 through the funding of EU Delegation to the Philippines at €779,226 (euro) the HEAL project aims to uplift the socioeconomic condition of IP communities in 15 upland and boundary barangays in 9 municipalities in South Cotabato, Sarangani, and Sultan Kudarat. Implemented for 3 years, in partnership with AVDFI, MDFI, OND-Hesed, SCMSI, and TLDFI, project interventions focus on Health, Food Security, and Livelihood. Under Health, the establishment of 1,075 sanitary toilets and 1,111 satisfactory garbage disposal contributed in the reduction of hygiene-related diseases. Through the project, 1,418

220

beneficiary-HHs of the 1,200 target and 16,031 nonbeneficiary-HHs of the 9,000 target have regularly accessed LGU health services such as Immunization, Pre and Postnatal Care, FP, Referral of NTDs, and access to generic medicines from BnBs, complementing the RHUs’ performance in remote upland areas. Accordingly, consumption of the garden’s produce, provision of iron supplement and Vitamin A, and breastfeeding has contributed to the reduction of undernutrition prevalence rate of under-five children from 26% to 18%. To complement the barangay health stations in the lowland areas, the project has facilitated the establishment of additional 7 Community Cen-

ters cum Health posts in beneficiary-communities for a total of 15, which enabled RHU staff to conduct regular schedules for MCH activities, gradually addressing problems on distance and inaccessibility of health services. Likewise, the project has continued capacitating CHVs on the different aspects of health to educate and enhance skills to facilitate project interventions in the assisted-communities.

ing as counterpart, communities propagate the seeds provided by the project resulting to a readily available supply of seeds, seedlings, and cuttings used for replanting during dry spells. In addition, the project has introduced drought-resistant and indigenous crops to communities as part of the response of mitigating measures to drought. Under Livelihood, the project has improved enterprise management of

MMPC and MBFA in Barangays Maligo and Kinilis, respectively. The technical assistance resulted to a 49% increase in production and 8% in sales of guava jelly, calamansi concentrate/juice, banana and taro chips, and kaong vinegar of MMPC while MBFA realized a 45% increase in production and 129% in sales for Arabica and Civetcoffee. To provide raw materials for MMPC’s food processing as well as environmental pro-

tection of MMPL, the project has facilitated planting of 35,295 hills of native guava and 17,200 hills of calamansi along its gullies. Further, livelihood options such as peanut and soya production, coffee and coconut farming, free-range chicken/duck farming, and adoption of working animal for hauling and land preparation services, were initiated to increase the income of HH-beneficiaries. Overall,

HEAL

project interventions contributed in the reduction of poverty in the rural areas of SouthEastern Philippines, where target communities had been provided with opportunities to improve their access to health and other LGU services, increase income, enhance skills, and empower them to actively participate in community affairs. More significantly, in the course of project implementation, project interventions have

Immunization and Pre/Post Natal Care

n October 2009 URC tapped Mahintana as its LRA to implement the 1-year HealthPRO Project funded by USAID. The project aims to provide health promotion and technical assistance to DOH and LGU in support to its effort in improving health outcomes by promoting healthy behaviors among individuals, families, and communities. At the LRA level, Mahintana has implemented BCC activities in Malungon, Malapatan, Maasim, and Mai-

tum in Sarangani, and T’boli, Lake Sebu, Tantangan, Tampakan, Polomolok, and Koronadal City in South Cotabato. The activities were conducted in partnership with the PHO, Municipal Health Staff, and Community Mobilization Partners.

As a result, BCC activities developed CHVs and HSPs to become better and effective counselors. These interventions increased HealthPRO’s reach to 26,254 (FP) and 4,331 (MNCHN) clients served.

As of December 2010, it trained 383 CHVs and 51 HSPs on IPCC focused on FP and MNCHN. It also facilitated health events and health classes, identified and provided IEC materials to RHU and areas that needed health promotion.

Inspired by its outcomes, it expanded its initiative to include 4 barangay in 6 sitios/puroks of General Santos City namely, Von Ryan, Pearly Shell, Badjao Village, and Sitios Kulasi, Toning 1, and Toning 2, comprising around 10,000 individualbeneficiaries. The project aims to increase the beneficiaries’ access to FP and MNCHN, specifically ensuring prenatal care, safe deliveries, and

post partum to the women in urban poor communities. It also aims to provide a better environment in promoting positive behavior change among the informal settlers in terms of availing health services from the Barangay Health Centers.

Barangay Justice for Peace Project

he BJP Project is a 2-year project initiated in September 2009 and funded by USAID through GRF and implemented by Mahintana as its LRP in South Cotabato. The project aims to promote community peace and improve the capacities of LGUs in the ADRs of the 100 covered barangays. It specifically seeks to reduce the number of conflicts in the community and develop constituencies of peace in the barangay. This is real-

ized by capacitating BJAs on counseling, mediation, special laws, and case documentation. It also trained and equipped 600 BJAs. Identified trainings were conducted in collaboration with the DILG, Provincial Legal Office, Office of the Governor, and respective municipal LGUs of the province. As a result, BJAs had complemented and strengthened the DILG and LGUs’ Katarungang Pambarangay. It resolved 90-95% of 923 documented cases, indicating signifi-

cant contribution in reducing the number of cases filed in the barangay. On September 17, 2010, 22 BJAs participated in the BJA Congress in Manila with its theme “Where there is community justice, there is community peace.” It showcased the emerging gains of the BJP Project in 9 provinces including South Cotabato.
