A field investigation by National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) confirmed that the wind farm area is outside Indigenous People territories. Source: Project design document form (PDF)

The project is regarded by the Local Government Units (LGU) and the local residents very favourably due to the anticipated economic benefits in terms of improved employment opportunities, additional tax revenues, and increased tourist visits. The improvement in the power supply in the area is also being seen as a magnet for investors. Fishermen look forward to the construction of an all-weather access road to be constructed as part of the project, which will improve their access to the shore area. The project will not entail any major land acquisition. Land acquisition will be limited to a small lot needed for the switchyard and wind farm control station. It will not affect any settlement as the wind farm area is uninhabited and free from man made improvements while the transmission line will be installed over the existing distribution line of the local electric utility. Livelihood activities in the beach area are expected to continue during and after the construction of the wind farm as continued public access to the foreshore area is ensured under the project's ECC.
