The country’s statutory
framework requiring Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) for all projects that will affect environmental quality is
embodied in Presidential Decree (PD)
1151 of 1977.
The Philippine
Environmental Impact Statement System (PEISS) established through Presidential Decree 1586 in 1978
sets a systematic EIA System to ensure that the Filipino people will enjoy a “balanced and healthy ecology” in the
midst of intensive economic development.
The PEISS takes its roots in the
provisions of the Philippine Constitution which states that “The State shall
protect and advance the right of the people to a balanced and healthful ecology
in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature”.
It requires Environmental
Impact Statements (EIS – a Report on the EIA Results) to be submitted to the National Environmental
Protection Council (NEPC), now the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) for review and
evaluation.
Administrative Order No. 42
specifies that the DENR Secretary, as alter ego of the President, has the power
to grant or deny ECCs on behalf of the President and further designates the
Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) Central and Regional Directors as
approving authorities for ECC applications.
