Summary 

In August 2001, mayors of five neighboring towns in Cotabato Province who were 

attending the Chief Executives Development Management Program (LDMP) at the 

Asian Institute of Management came up with a brilliant idea. They decided to pool the 

resources of their municipalities together to help each other rehabilitate and construct 

barangay and farm-to-market roads. 

Thus was the Kabalikat PALMA Infrastructure 

Project (KPIP) born. “Kabalikat”, a Tagalog 

term meaning shoulder-to-shoulder or each 

one lending a shoulder to another became the 

name and guiding principle of the project. The 

KPIP also became the first project of what came 

to be known as the PALMA local government 

alliance. 

“ALL FOR ONE AND 

ONE FOR ALL” 

Building LGU Alliances 

for Infrastructure 

Development 

Under Kabalikat, the five municipalities of 

Pigcawayan, Alamada, Libungan, Midsayap 

and Aleosan comprising the PALMA Alliance 

pooled their road construction equipment and 

systematically rotated equipment use among 

themselves free of charge. Each municipality 

made a contribution to the equipment pool. 

Pigcawayan brought in its road grader and 

dump truck. Alamada shared their road grader 

bulldozer, backhoe loader and dump truck. 

Libungan put in a road grader, dump truck 

and backhoe loader. Midsayap contributed a

bulldozer, backhoe loader, pay loader, compactor and dump truck. Aleosan its road 

grader, bulldozer, pay loader and dump truck. 

To support the effort, the provincial government of Cotabato provided the trailer for 

transporting the heavy equipment and made available a road construction team for the 

project. 

The spirit of LGUs helping one another deliver infrastructure services through equitable 

sharing of resources proved to the great benefit of the LGUs. With better roads made 

possible through the project, residents, especially in remote barangays, can now be 

reached by government extension workers. These barangays have also been exposed

to various farming technologies, which have increased their agricultural productivity. The 

project has also reduced the cost of road construction for the LGUs, and decreased travel 

time and transport cost for hundreds of residents.

The Kabalikat PALMA Infrastructure Project: Pigcawayan, Alamada, Libungan, Midsayap, & Aleosan Cotabato Province 

ABOUT THE PALMA KABALIKAT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT 

Addressing a Need, Helping Neighbors: Project History 

Like many rural municipalities in the Philippines, the five municipalities of Cotabato Province 

of the PALMA alliance shared a common problem. Because of poor roads, several of their 

upland and far flung barangays were deprived of basic services and faced limited prospects 

for growth. Residents from these barangays found it difficult to commute and transport their 

farm produce to the market. 

But because of limited resources, individual local government units (LGUs) could ill afford 

massive rehabilitation or construction of barangay or farm to market roads. 

To address the problem, Mayor Ronaldo B. Pader of Libungan, who is concurrently the Chair 

of the PALMA Alliance Board, broached the idea of pooling the equipment of five towns to 

fast track their respective infrastructure development with 4 mayors of neighboring towns 

who were also attending the Chief Executives Development Management Program (LDMP) 

conference. All four mayors readily accepted Pader’s idea. Initial discussions on how to 

implement the project were made. 

The five mayors subsequently met to formulate the mechanics for project implementation 

and to formalize the arrangement in a Memorandum of Agreement. The MOA was signed 

on October 31, 2001 signifying the intentions of 5 LGUs to implement the PALMA Kabalikat 

project as an alliance. 

In February 2002, the first rotation of infra- equipment was made. It covered 20 barangays in 

the municipality of Aleosan where approximately 12 kms of barangay road were completed. 

Each municipality got its turn to use the equipment until the early part of January 2003. A 

total of 70 kilometers of barangay farm to market roads in 27 barangays in the 5 municipalities 

were rehabilitated under the first rotation. The project is now on its second round.

Implementing the PALMA Kabalikat Infrastructure: Objectives, Structures and Mechanics 

Objectives 

PALMA KABALIKAT aims to fast track the rehabilitation of barangay and farm to market 

roads in order to make government services accessible to people and assist these barangays 

achieve development, progress and prosperity. 

Organizational Structure 

At the alliance level, two committees were formed: 

1. Infrastructure Project Steering Committee (IPSC); and 

2. Infrastructure Project Technical Working Group (IPTWG) 

The Infrastructure Project Steering Committee has 12 members, including: 

• Mayors of 5 Municipalities 

• MPDC of 5 Municipalities 

• SB member of the Infra Committee of 5 municipalities 

• One (1) Municipal Engineer chosen from amongst the municipalities 

• Provincial Planning and Development Officer 

• One (1) representative from the Office of the Congressman 

The IPSC is tasked to: 

• Oversee the establishment and implementation of the Infrastructure Project 

• Discuss and agree on matters related to fund sourcing, appropriation of funds and equity 

sharing 

• Ensure all LGUs equitably benefit from the Infrastructure Project 

• Approve the scheduling of projects 

• Settle disputes among the participating LGUs 

The Inter LGU Infrastructure Technical Working Group (IPTWG), on the other hand, is 

composed of: 

• Municipal Engineers from all municipalities 

• MPDCs from all municipalities 

• CSO representative (President of the Farmers’ Association) involved in the Project 

Monitoring and Evaluation Committee from each municipality 

4


The IPTWG has the following mandate: 

• Prepare Program of Work for each municipality 

• Establish and recommend project schedules 

• Prepare listings of heavy equipment required for the respective projects 

• Supervise the implementation of the respective projects 

• Coordinate (jointly with the respective municipalities) the logistical requirements of the 

projects 

• Monitor, evaluate and provide feedback to the IPSC 

Project Mechanics 

To operationalize this project, the five mayors agreed on the following mechanics: 

1. The project shall be rotated within the five (5) member municipalities, starting from the 

municipality/barangay where the need is most crucial, and until such time that all the 

farm-to-market roads in all the barangays within the Alliance shall have become allweather 

roads. 

2. Each member municipality shall provide only the road construction equipment needed 

in the particular project. 

3. All the necessary equipment for the project shall be simultaneously mobilized to maximize 

time and ensure project completion within the target period. Equipment are garaged 

within the project area throughout project duration, but may be withdrawn at any time by 

the LGU owner during emergencies. 

A fleet of equipment includes a bulldozer, a grader, a pay loader/back hoe loader, 

3-4 dump trucks, and a road compactor. Usually 2 fleets are deployed in the 

project to be able to finish an aggregate total of 10-15 kilometers of road during the 

project duration of 10 working days. 

4. Each project must have a minimum duration of only ten (10) working days (under normal 

conditions). 

It is recommended that the bulldozer be brought to the project site 2-3 days 

before the actual project implementation to prepare an adequate amount of quarry 

materials needed for the project. Implementation of the project takes place in an 

average of ten (10) days under normal conditions. There is an average of one (1) km. 

road accomplishment per day. In cases where the conditions are more difficult, the 

host LGU may request for an extension. 

5



5. The host municipality shall provide for the prime mover/trailer for the transport of the 

heavy equipment (bulldozer, vibrator/compactor, pay loader). 

6. The drivers and operators shall be provided with P200.00/day honorarium each, aside 

from provision of food and sleeping quarters. 

7. The host municipality will provide for the fuel, oil, and lubricants for use of the equipment 

during the project implementation. 

8. The host municipality shall also provide security personnel or peacekeeping forces to 

secure the project area and its premises. 

9. Minor repairs of the equipment costing P1,000.00 or less shall be shouldered by the host 

LGU, but repair costs over P1,000.00 shall be borne by the LGU owner. 

The five (5) mayors also agreed that equipment would come rent free to highlight the bayanihan 

spirit that they wanted to cultivate. These mechanics were outlined in the memorandum of 

agreement signed by the 5 mayors 

Making Available Appropriate Resources 

To show the LGU’s commitment to the alliance, PALMA committed to put up 2million pesos 

for the project management office that would take charge of the day-to-day operations of the 

KABALIKAt infrastructure project and other alliance projects. Each LGU agreed to contribute 

200,000 pesos per year to the alliance.

Project Results: Multiplying Resources Lead To Multiple Benefits 

Sharing resources has resulted in benefits that are shared by all 5 municipalities 

1. Opening up of upland barangays to development 

The project provided upland barangays with access to modern farming upland technology 

and made basic services from government and the private sector more accessible. 

2. Increased agricultural productivity 

After the completion of the roads, the production of traditional crops such as corn and 

vegetables increased by as much as 20%. 

3. Reduced road construction cost 

Ordinarily, the cost for the rehabilitation of a barangay farm to market road per kilometer 

is P800,000.00 to P1M based on the MRDP standard. With the Kabalikat PALMA 

Infrastructure Project, a 10-15 km all weather FMR cost each LGU/barangay only P350,000 

to P500,000 or an estimate of P35,000-50,000 per km. of road. This in turn, freed up 

more LGU funds for other development projects. 

4. Reduced travel distance and time 

Before the road rehabilitation, the distance and travel time to the town centers took a 

longer time. After the project was implemented, travel time was reduced to as much as 

50%, making travel faster, more convenient and less costly to residents. 

5. Reduced transport and passenger fares 

Passenger fares for both jeepneys (6 wheelers) and “habal-habal” (single motorcycle for 

hire) were reduced by 20% and transportation costs of products/goods also went down 

by as much as 60%, contributing to greater savings for commuters and more profit for 

farmers. 

6. Accessibility of government service and assistance 

Far flung barangays, especially those classified as “critical” areas due to peace and 

order problems have become more accessible to government services and assistance. 

The government’s presence through the services being provided is concretely felt by the 

residents especially in the so-called critical areas. This has, in a way, contributed in 

addressing some of the peace and order problems affecting the area. 

7. Instilling discipline and mutual respect among barangays 

The project also instilled discipline among barangay officials who respected the criteria for 

prioritization of barangays to be served. The pulling out of equipment from the barangay 

sites where the project is on-going is minimized even if there is a perceived urgent request 

from other barangays. The difficulty on the part of the LCE of explaining to the Punong 

Barangay when such requests are not granted is lessened. 

7


8. Spreading the spirit of Bayanihan 

In the meantime, the “bayanihan” spirit that spurred the project has spread to other activities, 

including the hosting of barangays of the equipment and workers. Preparing food and 

lodging for the road workers has also become a bayanihan activity at the barangay level. 

On the side of the field implementors (the drivers and operators of the heavy equipment), 

the friendship, camaraderie and bonding among themselves motivated them work harder 

and more effectively, unmindful of additional work hours they need to put in. 

REPLICATING THE PALMA KABALIKAT INFRASTRUCTURE 

PROJECT 

The spirit and initiative of KABALIKAT is now being replicated by other LGUs, with the 

following identified implementation steps. 

Key Implementation Steps 

A. Pre-Implementation 

1. Create an Alliance or Inter-LGU Organizational Structure to Manage the Infrastructure 

project and two committees are required: 

• An Infrastructure Project Steering Committee (IPSC); and 

• A Infrastructure Project Technical Working Group (IPTWG) 

Scenario 1: If the LGU wants to create an Alliance like that of PALMA. 

a. Conduct meeting of LCEs of participating LGUs to discuss forming of Alliance to be 

initiated by the Provincial Government. The discussion will focus on the need to create 

an alliance, how it will be established, how it will be managed, who composes the 

board, functions and responsibilities of the board, roles and responsibilities of LGUs 

(contributions), setting up the PMO, drafting of MOA(creation and operationalization of 

alliance), formulation of strategic plan, manual of operations. 

b. Subsequent meeting can focus on defining mechanics for implementation, establish 

criteria to be used in identifying and prioritizing LGU to be initially benefited by the 

project, drafting the MOA and agreeing on project rotation and time-frame. 

8


Scenario 2: Setting-up of Inter-LGU Organization Structure to manage the Infrastructure 

Project in lieu of an alliance PMO 

Conduct of meetings among LCEs and other technical staff of participating LGUs to discuss 

the following: 

- Mechanics of implementation 

- Creation of Inter-LGU Infrastructure Project Steering Committee and TWG 

- Drafting of MOA 

2. Enact appropriate legal and legislative measures to support the project at the alliance 

and municipal level: 

Municipal Level 

Sangguniang Bayan Resolution 

The respective Sangguniang Bayans issue a 

resolution authorizing the Local Chief Executives 

to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with 

the other LGUs. The MOA includes the allocation 

of funds, inventory of heavy equipment and the 

specific details of the implementation mechanics. 

Alliance Level 

Memorandum of agreement and agreement on 

the implementation mechanics 

The MOA includes the allocation of funds, 

inventory of heavy equipment and the specific 

details of the implementation mechanics. 

3. At the municipal level, conduct pre-implementation activities for infrastructure projects 

including: 

a. Establish the criteria for identifying priority barangays and identify/prioritize barangays 

to be served by project 

This can be done through a meeting with the mayor, MPDC , Municipal Engineer and 

SB committee on infrastructure to formulate and agree on the criteria for identifying 

priority barangays. Based on the agreed criteria, the group can compile a shortlist of 

beneficiary barangays . The list will then forwarded to MDC and SB for approval. 

Example of the criteria used as the bases for identifying priority barangays in 

PALMA: 

1) The barangay is not qualified to avail of other foreign assisted projects like the 

MRDP, STAR-CM; 

2) Far-flung/hard-to-reach; 

9


3) Productive, but economic development is hindered because of the dismal condition 

of roads; 

4) Critical, in terms of peace and order situation where government service has not 

been felt by the constituents. 

b. Present the Barangay Short list to the Municipal Development Council for deliberation. 

The Municipal Development Council (MDC), after deliberation, recommends the 

inclusion of the identified priority barangays in the allocation of funds in the Annual 

Investment Plan (AIP). (The MDC planning and budgeting usually takes place in 

October). The AIP is submitted to the Sangguniang Bayan for approval of budget 

allocation. 

c. Conduct a survey of the roads in the selected barangays 

• Road survey usually takes one week. 

• Barangay counterpart to the Project is discussed during this time. 

• The Punong Barangay (barangay chair) negotiates for the deed of donation for the 

road right of way (ROW) . 

d. Prepare the Program of Work 

• Municipal Engineer prepares the Program of Work and submits the list of equipment 

needed to the Local Chief Executive. 

• The LCE endorses the request to the PMO for the preparation of the communication 

indicating the list of the needed equipment to be fielded for the project and its 

subsequent distribution 

e. Create a working Committee to support the project at the barangay level, including 

committee on accommodation, food preparation and Peace and Order. 

f. Prepare a budget for day-to-day operations 

The LCE can set a meeting with the Municipal Budget Officer, the Municipal 

Accountant, and the Municipal Treasurer, to discuss fund releases and person/s 

responsible for cash withdrawals from the Municipal Treasurer for the day-to-day 

necessary expenses of the Project. 

g. Obtain the heavy equipment from other LGUs 

The PMO prepares the communication addressed to the other four (4) LCEs thru the 

respective Municipal Engineers specifying the specific equipment needed to be fielded 

for the project and to the Provincial Engineer for the use of the Prime Mover/Trailer. 

h. Prepare the opening ceremony (launching) in the Barangay 

10



B. Project Implementation 

1. Conduct an opening ceremony at the Barangay level where each road project is 

undertaken 

2. Implement the infrastructure project 

3. Supervise and monitor the project 

The host LGU Project Engineer and a PMO representative monitors the timeliness, quality 

of work and compliance based on the program of work, as well as identifies minor 

problems and interventions needed. 

4. Facilitate Project Completion, Turn-Over, Socialization and Fellowship 

5. Prepare for Reporting and Feedbacking to the IPSC 

• Submit Accomplishments Report to the participating municipalities and the provincial 

government 

• Ensure equipment check and maintenance by proceeding to check the condition of the 

equipment and undertaking appropriate maintenance. 

• Initiate preparations and project cycle for the next Project 

6. Conduct Information and Promotion Activities to Build Popular Support 

Examples of activities undertaken by PALMA Alliance: 1-hour PALMA Alliance Radio 

program aired every Friday afternoon over Radio Station DXMS and the quarterly 

publication of the alliance “KABALIKAT”

Lessons for Replication: Keeping the Engines Running 

The PALMA experience shows that the Kabalikat project can be replicated easily by any 

cluster of contiguous LGUs who have heavy equipment. Replicators, however, need to 

ensure that the following elements are present in their LGUs for project success: 

1. Awareness and sensitivity of mayors to the urgency of the needs so that they would set 

aside political affiliations and ensure the immediate implementation of the project. 

2. Strong bond and camaraderie/friendship and unity among member LCEs and their 

unselfish attitude to share resources 

3. Willingness of LGUs to pool their heavy equipment and other resources 

4. Full support of their respective Sangguniang Bayan 

5. Barangay counterparting to the project 

6. Support and commitment of the Provincial Government 

7. Inclusion of project budget in the Annual Investment Plan of municipalities and 

barangays. 

8. Regular reporting/feedbacking of PMO to the PALMA Alliance Board
