FINDINGS and REMARKS:
Noticeably the applicant still lacks essential documents that

would merit the Office to cause the Field-Based Investigation
(FBI). Discussion of the lacking essential documents will be
provided below;
1. On the specific duration of the project
What was submitted was the phasing stages of the proposed

project and not the specific duration of the project.
What is needed may not be the specific duration but the
closest determinable timeline of the project. (Emphasis
Supplied)
2. On the SEC Registration, Articles of Incorporation and

By-laws and Latest General Information Sheet
What was submitted by herein applicant was a DTI

Registration. It should be noted that DTI registration is
just a legal instrument for the purposed of trade and
business. SEC registration on the other hand, as far as
the interest of NCIP is concerned, is a legal instrument
in establishing juridical personality of the proponent
needed in applying for CP. (Emphasis Supplied)
3. On the Environmental Impact Assessment of the proposed

project and the Transmission Lines
What was submitted was an Environmental Impact Statement

coming from the herein applicant. What is needed on the
other hand is an Environmental Impact Assessment coming
from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR). The same should be conducted by them.
4. On the Environmental Compliance Certificate
In cases where EIA, EIS and/or ECC are not available at

the time of the FPIC Process, the proponent/applicant
shall execute an undertaking that should the same become
available, the proponent/applicant shall furnish NCIP a

included in said EIA, EIS and/or ECC as affected areas
which were not included in the previously determined
affected area/s. (Emphasis Supplied)
