DRR AND CCA INTEGRATION
In 2007, the BDRC Learning Circle was introduced to Joint Memorandum Circular No. 01-2007. For MACEC, it was an opportunity to make critical DRR and CCA interventions. Means were explored. In June of 2008, NEDA extended the invitation for Sub-National DRR Mainstreaming with CA and its partners. MACEC took the lead in learning the process that NEDA presented. Seeing its possible application to local government units, MACEC studied the process and found policy foundations in various Philippine policies, including the RA 7160 (Local Government Code of 1991) and developed a tool for the integration of DRR and CCA in the planning and budgeting processes for the barangays using the very same tools that DILG requires of the local government units.
Process
1. A team from each barangay attended a 3 day workshop composed of Punong Barangay, Barangay Treasurer, SB Kagawad, Chairperson of Appropriations Committee and MACEC representative as member of the Barangay Development Council
a. Situation Analysis and Environmental Scanning Using the PCVA
b. Overview of the International, National, Regional and Provincial Policy Frameworks
Attention given to the Hyogo Framework for Action on DRR vis a vis the Strategic National Action Plan; UN Framework on Climate Change vis a vis the National Policies on CC; Millennium Development Goals; Rio Declaration and the Philippine Agenda 21; MTPDP targets (ie. BEAT THE ODDS of the current administration) and the Provincial/ Municipal Development Thrust
c. Visioning Workshop
d. Strategy Formulation
e. Formulation of the Programs, Projects and Activities
f. Budgeting Workshop
2. DRR and CCA were integrated and expressed in their barangay vision and priority projects, programs and activities and at the same time harmonizing all plans and projects (and also budgets) in accordance with the Joint Memorandum Circular No. 01-2007 and the Budget Operations Manual for Barangays (BOMB)
3. Barangay Officials were made aware that the mandatory 5% Calamity Fund is only a benchmark of a minimum requirement of RA 7160 and not the celing amount for appropriation. Instead, if there are enough funds, allocation may be made above the 5% benchmark
4. Barangays were able to integrate budgets for specific disaster preparedness activities such as capability building, drills and projects on livelihood in their Annual Budget (integrated in their 20% LDF or in the MOOE)
6. Discussions on the insertion of administrative provisions in appropriations ordinance such as the provision that any excess amount in the budget year;s 5% Calamity fund shall remain in the same allocation as a continuing fund appropriation

Two (2) units of hanging bridges (150 meters ) in 2 barangays of Mogpog were constructed upon MACEC's representation with a party-list group to enable barangay residents to have access during flooding and to facilitate their immediate evacuation
