Abstract

The Metro Cebu Development Project III (MCDP) Project, particularly the Cebu South Reclamation Project is one of the three major components of the project package. A project of such magnitude requires an Environmental Compliance Certificate and one of its components is the social aspect of the study, whereby social preparation and acceptability would be of equal importance as those of the Physical and biological aspects of the environmental impact assessment. It was then the focus of this study to determine the social acceptability of the Cebu South Reclamation Project specifically among the directly affected families which are composed of marginalized fishermen and those families subsisting on the fishing –related activities which are dependent on their day-work for a living. Results revealed that provisions for the social component of the project were provided and that the concerns of the stakeholders were amply addressed.
