and Unit 5 Expansion)
Project Location : Barangay Bani, Municipality of Masinloc, Province of Zambales
Project Proponent : Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd., A subsidiary of SMC Global Power
Holdings Inc.
Venue : 3rd floor, Municipal Hall of Masinloc, Zambales

1 INTRODUCTION
The Masinloc Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant, currently owned by the Masinloc Power Planters Co.
Ltd. (MPPCL)─ a subsidiary of SMC Global Power Holdings, Inc. (SMCGPH), operates coal-fired power
generation units 1, 2, and 3 while Unit 4 is still under development. MPPCL applies for an ECC
amendment to increase the capacity of Unit 4 from 300 MW to 315 MW and install the additional Unit
5. The proposed expansion shall increase its total power generating capacity from 1248 MW to 1578
MW in order to contribute in addressing the increasing power demand and provide adequate supply not
only in the Province of Zambales but also to its neighboring provinces. Moreover, this expansion project
shall benefit the national and local government through generation of revenues, boosting of local
employment, increase in livelihood opportunities and its multiplier effects, and improvement of carbon
sink through reforestation programs. Increase in the Social Development Program (SDP) allocation is
also foreseen with the increase in revenues arising from the expansion of operations.
In compliance with the DENR Administrative Order 2017-15: “Guidelines on Public Participation under
the Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System (PEISS)”, the conduct of Public Hearing is
required for all Environmentally Critical Projects (ECPs) and is a formal process initiated and conducted
by DENR-EMB to promote dialogues and communication between and among the project proponent,
DENR-EMB, relevant government agencies, LGUs, and stakeholders.
Furthermore, in compliance with the DENR-EMB Memorandum Circular No. 2020-30: “Interim
Guidelines on Public Participation in the Implementation of the PEISS (PD 1586) during the State of
National Public Health Emergency”, public consultations may be conducted using one or combination
of two options: 1) The proponent is allowed to conduct public hearing with project’s major stakeholders
through video conferencing for not less than two hours, with sufficient time for open forum and
discussion of EIA results with mitigating measures as provided in its Environmental Impact Statement
Study (EIS) or Environmental Performance Report and Management Plan (EPRMP); 2) The proponent
shall undertake public hearing by sector in small groups following the minimum health standards
recommended by the IATF. All documentation materials, including video conferencing recordings shall
be submitted to DENR-EMB. For this project, the proponent opted to conduct the combination of the
two options in consideration of the internet and gadget/equipment limitations of the impact barangays,
and availability of a venue with sufficient carrying capacity to implement COVID-19 measures.
This Public Hearing Documentation Report summarizes the notification methods, presentation of results
of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), and the comments, issues, and concerns received at
the Public Hearing, both in the actual venue and via Zoom.

Public Hearing Documentation Report
Masinloc Power Plant Expansion 14 Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd.
Table 5. Issues and Concerns raised during the Public Hearing
Issues and Concerns Stakeholder/s Who
Raised the Issue Response Respondent
● We revisited and reminisced the old Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) between NAPOCOR, LGU, and
Province stating their provision of technical assistance
for farmers of Masinloc, and provision of support on
irrigation projects to be constructed in different
barangays of the Municipality. None of these
commenced on different barangays and so there are
complaints from barangay captains and officials
because the only focus is on Brgy. Bani and Masinloc
LGU. We are not asking to remove the benefits from
Brgy. Bani as this is the host barangay but rather, we
are requesting to widen the coverage of the programs
to involve other adjacent barangays.
● We are also requesting for the installation and
construction of the power light monitoring system to
ensure safety of ships entering the Masinloc waters.
This shall also add on the protection initiative of
Masinloc as there is a plan for establishing an office
for our maritime police to monitor possible sabotage
plans and entry of drugs in the municipality.
● We also request for the dredging of areas in Brgy. Bani
especially at the mouth of Brgy. Baloganon and Collat
to ensure that the ships can still enter the area in the
future.
● We are also asking for your assistance on the titling of
resettlement areas in the relocation site of Brgy. Taltal
(for those who came from Brgy. Bani as relocatees).
Until now, they do not have any land title which hinders
the municipality from taxing their lands.
Hon. Arsenia Lim
Mayor of Municipality of
Masinloc, Zambales
Point taken on all the
suggestions and request. We
will review the old MOA and
its provisions.
Mr. Mar Tuazon
Plant Manager of MPPCL
-
Public Hearing Documentation Report
Masinloc Power Plant Expansion 15 Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd.
● It is also stated in the old MOA that the LGU of
Masinloc has the right to use the fly ash for industrial
applications and other purposes, except for
commercial purposes. We are just asking for the left-
overs which can be used for the livelihood of our
constituents such as hollow blocks making program.
● We are also requesting for the equal rights in the
decision making in the approval of fly ash since the
sharing is the same with the provincial government.
We are not questioning the power of the governor, but
since the sharing scheme is the same when it comes
to the decision making of pricing and the one at stake
is the revenue of all agencies, then it is rightful for
Masinloc LGU and Brgy. Bani to participate in deciding
about the pricing.
● Request for assistance on the Installation of artificial
reefs. This was approved by the MENRO of Masinloc.
● Upgrading of existing fish port─ Based on the old
MOA, there was supposed to be a construction (under
loan mechanism of Masinloc) but PFDA will give free
area to be constructed as fish port. However, there are
limitations in the funding of PFDA. Hence, we are
asking the proponent for assistance so we can push
through this development. This is very helpful for the
livelihood of our fisherfolks.
● I would like to request to gather contractors and
subcontractors to limit the outsourcing of manpower
from other municipalities and provinces for prevention
of COVID-19 spread in Masinloc. This is also a way to
prioritize Masinloc constituents in terms of manpower
opportunities. All manpower opportunities must be
submitted to PESO of Masinloc because we need to
report this to DOLE.

Masinloc Power Plant Expansion 16 Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd.
● We also like to request for assistance on the
construction of Mango Processing Plant to enable
Masinloc export their harvest.
● We also request for support on the construction of
water system facility in San Salvador island. This is
possible since they have springs in the island.
● Include all other barangays in the development
programs of the Masinloc Power Plant Project. We are
not asking to remove the benefits from Bani but rather
widen the coverage of benefits to include all other
barangays of Masinloc.
● Some of the provision of the old MOA are forgotten.
We hope to discuss these and settle.
● I am unsatisfied with the scholarship programs
presented by Ms. Geraldine Ronquillo. Actually, the
LGU of Masinloc, through the Educational Assistance
Program, provides 2,000 pesos educational
assistance per semester for students within Masinloc
and 5,000 pesos per semester for students studying
outside of Masinloc. We request for the widening the
scholarship programs of the proponent or the funding
maybe lodged to the Masinloc LGU so we can extend
and double the educational assistance to students of
Masinloc.
● We also request for solar street lights for the whole
municipality of Masinloc.
● We also request for the provision of programs and
assistance for PWDs and please extend medical
missions in the whole Masinloc instead of focusing
only in Bani.
Councilor Gigi Ejanda-
Juarez
Committee on Education
of Sangguniang Bayan ng
Masinloc
Noted on all the suggestions.
We will discuss to you on how
are we going to enhance our
scholarship programs.
Currently, we are
implementing screening
process before providing full
educational assistance to
students. The scholars have
to meet a certain grade in
order to retain the
scholarship. We also
integrated trainings for the
scholars to ensure that they
will finish their courses and
have greater chance of
getting hired by the company.

We also have programs for
PWDs, and senior citizens.
However, these are put on
hold due to the pandemic.
● What is the total emission impact if all these 5 units
simultaneously operate?
● What is the acceptable emission level to ease the
worry of the residents?
Pedro “Daddy” Enciso
Vice Mayor of Masinloc,
Zambales
Regarding the concerns
about the air modelling, our
expert, Mr. Ronald Pahunang
is not available today due to
health emergency. We will
note your concerns and
submit this to the technical
committee. In the aspect of
DENR Clear Air Act
guidelines, every stack has
an allowable emission
standard which should not be
exceeded. The emission of
each stacks are monitored
continuously to ensure that
these are not exceeding the
Clean Air Act guideline
values. The standards are set
by DENR in the IRR of Clean
Air Act.
The cumulative emissions are
shown in the modelling.
Based on the averaging
shown in the air modelling of
Mr. Ronald Pahunang, the
cumulative emission values
are still within the limits set by
the DENR.

Masinloc Power Plant Expansion 18 Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd.
● Are the emitted particles will settle or fall in the land or
in the sea/ocean of Masinloc?
● We are asking if these emitted particles will fall in land
because supposedly it should not fall within our land
so it will not affect our people.
Based on the air dispersion
modelling, there are particles
that will settle or fall in the
land. In addition, we are
looking on the areas where
highest concentrations of
particles are most likely to fall.
Based on the SOX and NOX
modelling, the highest
concentrations are in the left
and right side of the power
plant within the bay area.
Land fall of emission particles
are inevitable but based on
the modelling estimated
concentrations of particles
are within the limits set by the
DENR Clean Air Act.
● Since our power plant is expanding and additional
units are to be constructed, we would like to request,
in compliance to RA 3931: “An Act Creating the
National Water and Air Pollution Control Commission”,
for an Air Quality Index online for us to determine the
actual weather condition, temperature of the area
especially within the vicinity of the plant, wind
humidity, and velocity to determine direction of
particles. This is one effective mechanism to
immediately monitor air. This should be online so it
can be accessible by the public.

within the protected area. Just be reminded of d
provisions of RA 11038 and its IRR.

● Yes, it is within Masinloc-Oyon Bay Protected
Landscape and Seascape (MOBPLS). Since there is
an expansion of construction, PAMB clearance is
required.

● Are there changes in the sea water intake in
unit 4?
There will be new sea water
intake. The new seawater
intake is still within Special
Use Agreement for Protected
Areas (SAPA) but still the
same ECC.
Benette Soria
MPPCL Plant Engineer
● In case the ECC will be approved and the project will
be given a green light, can we ask for the SMC power
contingency and emergency response plan so we can
incorporate in our Local DRRM Plans and other
related plans.
Joel Tovera
MDRRMO, Masinloc,
Zambales
Noted Ms. Geraldine Ronquillo
Community Relations Officer of
MPPCL
● And in addition, can we ask SMC and/or contractors
to include us in their trainings on emergency response
and other DRRM/ safety related trainings so we can
work together cohesively in case unwanted incident
happen. Thanks.
● Request for Solar street lights
● Can you please assist us in repairing the Electric
supply of San Salvador? As far as I can remember, we
proposed for an underwater cable. But the one
constructed is not underwater. That is why they easily
loss electric supply during windy season.
Nelson Mayola
Former SB Member from

● I suggest to the municipal government of Masinloc to
conduct hiring of pollution control officer. if we cannot
hire, then at least train our technical people for
monitoring water, air, soil, and others.
● Please accommodate the OJTs from Masinloc so they
will not go outside Masinloc.
● What is the exact location of Unit 5? Will these be
beyond the fences and walls of SMC/MPPCL?
● Please level-up the investment in Masinloc. The raw
materials for the products of SMC maybe sourced
here in Masinloc such as chicken/poultry, piggery, and
others.
● Please assist us in the study of investment potential of
the port of Masinloc.
rehabilitation of San Salvador
but due to the rationalization
of the Electrification Fund by
the DOE, ZAMECO may not
be able to execute this soon
as their budget has been
affected by the rationalization.
About the OJT, we will
discuss this with our HR
Team. Even before, we are
accommodating OJTs inside
the Power Plant. But due to
the pandemic, we stopped.
For the expansion on
investment, it is best to have
a formal letter from the LGU
addressed to SMC so MPPCL
can endorse it to proper
channels.
The location of Unit 5 is still
within the MPPCL property.
● Before the shutdown, our COVID-19 case is zero.
After the shutdown, the cases increased to 248. What
are the strategies of SMC to lessen such scenarios
especially now that we are expecting an influx of
workers during the power plant expansion? If the
cases increased again due to the expansion, we hope
that we can generate higher assistance or support to
address these COVID cases.
Dr. Sylvia Eamilao
Municipal Health Officer of
Masinloc
In preparation for the

various strategies. One is the
possibility of requiring swab
test for those entering the
power plant or 100% of the
employees will undergo swab
testing. We are also planning
of constructing barracks

within the compound of the
plant. We will continue to
coordinate with the barangay
and municipal LGU regarding
COVID-19 protocols.
● Can we expect a vaccine from your company? Noted. We will continue the
monthly coordination (or
make it more frequent if
needed) with the communities
and barangays to address
issues about hiring,
manpower, and health issues,
and COVID-19 protocols, and
others.

Yes, we are complete with the

can consult EMB and DENR
regarding the national
utilization of wealth
specifically of water of Lauis

● We need your assistance in the titling of the house and
lot awarded by the NAPOCOR during their previous
operations.
Due to influx of workers and in-migration, the areas for
other purposes other than housing such as for
livelihood, and school are already occupied by
informal settlers. The problem here is that no one
managed the resettlement area from the time of
NAPOCOR, AES, and now under SMC. We hope to
have your attention and settle this issue.
Richard Lacerona
President of Samahang
Pagkakaisa ng Relocatees
ng Bani in Brgy. Taltal
During the sale of the
Masinloc Power Plant from
NPC to previous owner
(AES), the Bani relocation
was not included in the assets
transferred to the new owner.
Thus, management of the
property remains with the
NPC. We then suggest a
discussion between the LGU
and NPC to resolve this issue
given that they are both
government entities.
Ms. Geraldine Ronquillo

● Is the area within the compound of the MPPCL
enough for the construction of Phase 5 or Unit 5? Not
everyone is aware of the proposed expansion. There
are also news in the neighborhood regarding
expansion up to Phase 7.
In the plan of NPC, the
Masinloc power plant can
accommodate up to 6 units.
NPC then constructed Units 1
and 2 then followed by the
construction of Unit 3 by AES.
SMC is now expanding based
on the original plan. An

estimate of 3 to 4 hectares are
consumed by one unit; so,
with the existing land area of
MPPCL, it can accommodate
units 1 to 6.
● According to Sir Jess, there is a data that is corrected.
Why did you correct it when it is already recorded? It
should not be corrected.
Apologies for the wrong term
used. We corrected the
report based on the actual
data from the official
laboratory results. The

● Request for Solar Street lights for the whole
municipality of Masinloc
● Request of relocatees to work again in the power
plant.
These can be charged under
ER-194 specifically in
development and livelihood
fund. As for the employment
opportunities, we are
expanding the training
programs of the Masinloc
Training Facility to cover
other relevant skills trainings
necessary for the business
and other industries nearby.
Ms. Geraldine Ronquillo
Community Relations Officer of
MPPCL
● According to our Brgy. Captain, our request for street
lights is not approved. This is important for our safety
and security.
These can be included in the
2021 Annual Work Plan of the
Host Resettlement for funding
under ER-194. Since we have
an association for relocatees,
this is the high time to discuss

with the barangay about the
programs and projects
proposed for the NPC
resettlement areas.
● We cannot understand and we are not familiar on the
graphs you presented. We would like to request for a
certificate stating and ensuring that the air and water
of Masinloc is still safe. It is also best to train and hire
a representative for the LGU to monitor water, air, and
other parameters.
Engr. Ellenver Eclevia
Municipal Engineer
The company/proponent has
to secure Permit to Operate
from DENR-EMB. ECC is
also an assurance that there
is a planning before the
operation and construction
and also lists the commitment
of the company. Other
permits, and IDs from DENR
can be considered as
certificate.
.
Mr. Jess Addawe
RHR Consulting Services, Inc.
● Follow-up: we would like to request for a proof that the
quality of our air, water, and other parameters are still
acceptable and healthy for the residents, given that
there are existing units operating already.
It is our duty to hire a Pollution
Control Officer to monitor if
the company is compliant with
the DENR standards.

● The trucks of the MPPCL are destroying the roads of
Masinloc. May we request for assistance for the road

Noted po Ms. Geraldine Ronquillo

● We already have 2 existing MOAs. The first one is with
the NAPOCOR, and the second one is with the
transition with the DOE. Whenever we discuss, we
always refer to the 2004 PSALM as a transition for the
entrance of Private Sector-MPPCL. But when it comes
to EES, we do not have any MOA. Is there a need to
create another MOA?
Mac Aranas
MCDO Masinloc
We do not have a copy of the
old MOA. We only have the
copy of the MOA (2005)
among DOE, PSALM,
Provincial and Municipal

should really create a new
one. But again, we are
committed in complying with
the regulations to attain goal
of expanding the business
while at the same time further
developing Masinloc.
● On the 2005 MOA, the Brgy. Captain of Bani did not
sign the MOA. So I think it is best to settle this before
moving on.
Hon. Arsenia Lim
Mayor of Municipality of
Masinloc, Zambales
Noted po. Ms. Geraldine Ronquillo

● Suggest to have a training applicable for the units 4 to

● We drafted resolution stating 70-30 on the manpower.
70% from Masinloc and 30% from outside
Councilor Philip Cesar
Eamilao
As mentioned earlier, we will
continue to expand the
Masinloc Training Facility to
cater to more relevant training
programs that will address the
skills requirement of the
proposed expansion. In fact,
we have just donated tools
and equipment to Masinloc
Training Facility 2. We will be
in close coordination with
Masinloc LGU and TESDA
regarding the development of
skills training programs.
Again, this initiative will
increase the chances of the
local residents to be
employed at the Masinloc
Power plant and other
industries nearby.

● Although Coal Plant does provide tantamount revenue
for the host barangay, municipality and province, let
us face it that coal plant contributes in the propulsion

emission. Are there programs, projects and activities
under CSR which includes global warming and climate

We will have low NOX burner
in our boilers for Units 4 to 5.
We also have ESP to reduce
particulate matter before
exhausting it in our chimney.
Units 3,4, and 5 have sea

Benneth Paul Soria
MPPCL Plant Engineer
● With regards to environmental issues and for the sake
of check and balance, can SMC shoulder trainings of
qualified LGU personnel in undergoing pollution
control officer's course and are they willing to provide
equipment in checking water, soil and air quality? If
they can then it only shows their dedication in
protecting our environment and the Masinloquenos
general welfare.
MPPCL is not an accredited
provider of trainings for
Pollution Control Officers.
Denmark Palma
Pollution Control Officer of
MPPCL
● I would like to recall the request of Brgy. Bani to
decrease electrification cost.
Nida Ebido
Chairman of SPBB
Based on the current power
industry structure, the
Masinloc Power plant
generates electricity. The
generated electricity passes
thru the grid and the
distribution units before it gets
to the households. MPPCL,
being a power generator,
does not have control on the
price of electricity costs of the
end users due to this set-up.

● During the construction, the agreement is that the
pipeline to be laid underwater will use floating barge
dredger/floating barge backhoe. However, the
subcontractor reclaimed the permanent site of
monitoring wherein there are existing seagrasses.
And there are no means of transplanting seagrasses.
I suggest that the contractors and subcontractors

Masinloc Plant Expansion - Project Rationale
Why choose Supercritical units?
In recent years, there has been an increasingdemand for electricity, at the same timereducing CO2 emission by adoptingsupercritical technology with higher steampressure and temperature.
There is no difference in construction ofsteam turbines of subcritical and supercriticalboiler. Because supercritical boiler uses highsteam pressure and temperature, thematerials of construction of high pressure(HP), intermediate pressure (IP) turbines andboiler pressure parts are adjusted towithstand higher pressure and temperature
The above chart shows the progressive increase in heat rate improvement withincrease in main and reheat steam temperatures and pressures in supercritical plantcompared to subcritical plants with main and reheat steam temperature of 540 °C andmain steam pressure of 180 bar.

Masinloc Plant Expansion - Project Rationale
Advantages of Supercritical unitsa) Higher EfficiencyThe key objective of using supercritical technology in powergeneration are lower net plant heat rate, higher efficiency,and lower fuel consumption rate. The higher the steamtemperatures and pressures at turbine inlet, the higher isthe efficiency.
b) Lower Emission Rates Due to lower coal consumption rate, quantities of combustion products and wastes such as carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matters (PM) also decrease resulting in net reduction of air emissions and ash generation. When SOx and NOx emissions are controlled, consumptions of reagent for SOx control (limestone, lime or sea water) and reagent for NOx control (ammonia or urea) are also reduced due to reduction of SOx and NOx production.

Masinloc Plant Expansion - Project Rationale
Advantages of Supercritical units
c) Lower Operating Cost Supercritical plant consumes lower fuel than subcritical plant. This results in significant fuel cost saving. This also results in lower amount of combustion wastes such as ash, pyrites. Therefore, annual cost for handling of solid wastes like ash and pyrites also decreases. Supercritical boiler does not need regular blow down to control dissolved solids in boiler water due to use of condensate polisher for removal of dissolved solids. This reduces boiler make-up water demand. This means the production of boiler make-up water by desalination of sea water is also reduced. units.
d) Faster Load Ramping Rates and Lower Minimum Load Operation
Generally, supercritical units have faster ramp rates due to absence of boiler drum. This makes supercritical units more suitable for markets where grid demand fluctuates during day and night time or where operation at low load during night time and holidays are necessary.
e) Shorter Start-up Time
Supercritical units take shorter time to start up due to the absence of boiler drum and faster ramp rates. This makes the supercritical units suitable for two shift operation compared to subcritical
