Abstract
The correlation between financial resources allocation and irrigation development in the Philippines from 1989 to 2013 was analyzed. Budget allocations and actual irrigated areas under national irrigation systems (NIS) and communal irrigation systems (CIS) gathered from the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) were considered in this study. Irrigated areas were also lagged for several years to determine the length of time at which irrigation development is most pronounced. Annual budget release and actual expenditures showed a weak correlation (R = 0.3784 and 0.3524) with the annual net increase in irrigated areas under NIS and CIS whereas cumulative budget release and cumulative actual expenditures have a strong correlation (R = 0.9554 and 0.9499) with the total actual irrigated areas under NIS and CIS. Thus, there is a direct relationship between the financial resources allocation and actual irrigated areas under NIS and CIS. Also, considering the correlation between cumulative annual budget allocations and total annual irrigated areas, it takes about five years from the time of the initial year of allocation for the development in irrigation to be most pronounced. In order to sustain irrigation development in the Philippines, budget releases should be improved and NIA should use the budget effectively and focus on construction of new irrigation systems and rehabilitation the existing ones.
