Historical Background

In 1962, Mapia was still a sitio. Therewas no leader who could guide themduring their community activities. Thehead of the school and the teachers havedifficulties gathering people for a meeting.

Coincidentally, Atty. Funelas,supervisor of the Commission On Election(COMELEC) visited the school. Mr. JuanZ. Tumblod, head of the school made aconversation with Atty. Funelas how he

could have a precinct in his school. Through the conversation, Mr. Tumblod wasgranted to have a precinct Number 31. This was made as an incentive for thehead of the school for organizing his candidates to fight against the motherbarangay which is barangay Bayombon in May 1963 election.

Fortunately, Jacinto Magbojos from barangay Mapia was elected asBarangay Captain. His barangay councilors were Igmedio Cineo, Epifanio Ibaya,Felipe Pablo, Sofonia Alba, and Santiago Torres. Only one barangay councilorfrom Bayombon was elected. In view of the victory, the former Barangay Officialsrequested the Municipal Councilor to have a resolution separating Mapia fromthe mother barangay.

The people of Mapia rejoiced for the separation because they will havetheir own leader to run the barangay. Mr. Tumblod called for a conference withthe barangay officials to procure a barangay site just in front of the school. He

initiated to buy the land from Mr. GregorioManlapaz in the amount of one thousandpesos (Php 1,000). Barangay Officialscontributed four hundred pesos (Php400). The shortage was compensated byMr. Tumblod by giving his femalecarabao to the owner of the land.

With this, barangay officialsworked on a resolution, converting the

Sitio to Barangay.

Natural Characteristics

The general terrain of barangay presents a surface configuration rangingfrom slightly undulating to rolling and from hilly to mountainous. It has a slope oflevel to nearly level, gently sloping to undulating to rolling.

Soil

The types of soil embracing thebarangay are Himayangan Sandy ClayLoam and Ubay Clay, Steep Phase. Onone hand, Himayangan Sandy Clay Loamcomprises of 540.29 hectares of the totalland area. This is a residual soilsdeveloped in place from weathering of

non-calcareous shale. It is characterizedby light brown to gray; poor granular;gravelly sandy clay loam or surface soilranging in depth from 0-20 centimeters(cm). In about 20-80 cm. in depth it is dark brown to grayish brown, poor coarsegranular to blocky cla y loam. Eighty centimeters and below in depth, it has a

yellowish red to gray clay loam withmottlings; poor course granular; mellowwhen wet; friable and compact when dryand sometimes sandstones are on theprocess of weathering.

On the other hand, Ubay Claysteep phase constitute of about 650.1hectares of the total land area. This soil isrepresented by cogonal areas which areroughly rolling, hilly and mountainous. It isseverely eroded with plenty of igneous anddolomitic rock boulders as outcrops. The

area is well dissected by deep ravines, intermittent rivers and creeks. The areashould always be under thick vegetal cover throughout the year to safeguard soiland moisture losses, and at the same time to increase organic matter content ofthe soil; to improve the quality and quantity of forge grasses by fertilization andapplication of soil amendments rather than by burning; all soil conservationmeasures adapted to the soil, slope and climatic conditions should be strictlyobserved.

Mountain range

Hydrogeology

Water supply of the barangay israted poor to fair with majority of watercoming from dugwell, shallow well and

deep wells. Having a residual soildeveloped from sedimentation, quality ofwater is influenced with the presence ofsome sediment. Hence, potability of wateris affected. Proper care must be exercisedfor drinking to prevent water-relateddiseases. Water in the barangay iscommonly use for domestic andagricultural activities.

Natural Resources

At the mountainous part of the barangay in Purok 3 exists an untappedforest ecosystem. It hosts to diverse floraand fauna, as well as forest andcommercial trees. Commonly found faunaare wild boar, snakes, birds, andmonkeys. A variety of locally known fore stand commercial trees grow abundantlylike narra, lauan white and red, acacia,

jamorawon, apitong, molave, mahoganyetc. This area is actually inaccessible bymany residents since the area is very farand mountainous. The protection of thisforest must be took in hand for possible threat from man-made destruction.

Land Use Potentials

Barangay. Mapia has a vast tractof agriculture area. Having theseresources, it has the potential to developand turn its unutilized agricultural land intoa more productive area for growing fruit

trees. Since their major produce is copra,farmers can also discover alternativeproducts from coconut. Pineappleproduction can also be increased sincethe barangay has ample produce of pinyabefore. In addition, it is also suitable for livestock and poultry production.

Water

Water supply within the barangay may be rated as poor to fair with thepopulation largely dependent on shallowwell, deep well and even springs and

creeks. The waters from deep well areasare, in general, of good quality. Care mustbe exercised, however, in limestoneformations where calcium carbonates arethe major content. The aquifers aregenerally susceptible to pollution causedby the activities of man and animals. Asreflected on the table 3, 51%% or 126households dont have access to safewater facility vis--vis drinking water.

In order to promote the general well-being of the people, Level II or thecommunity water system-shared was developed with spring (bukal) as its mainsource. This will ensure that the populace will have a source of drinking waterthat is accessible and potable. With this,the occurrence of water borne-diseases isexpected to decrease particularly amongchildren who are vulnerable to these kindsof diseases.

The water system installed in thebarangay has an intake tank of1.50mX1.50mX1.50m=3.375m3 capacitywith a reservoir of2.0mX3.0mX3.0m=18m3 capacity. It has adistribution line of 1,700 linear meters with seven units installed public faucet.

Solid Waste Management

The majority of solid wastes withinthe barangay are composed of householdwastes, agricultural wastes like leaf littersand coconut husks and otherbiodegradable materials can also befound.

The wastes are often dumped orburned by residents in backyard pits. Those residing near the sea or along thecoastline just dumped their garbage at the sea. Some dispose wastes literally

anywhere.

Areas for Protection

Aside from its untapped naturalresources, there are no other areasneeded for protection against abuse ofhuman activities. Ubo falls must beprotected for possible pollution due to

human activities.

Mine Site

A multi-national company is currently interested to resurrect themine siteleft by the Americans during the American occupation in our country. It is locatedat the mountainous portion of Mapia specifically in the boundary of Mapia andXYZ. The initial operation will be putting up of a bone mill factory where gold

extracted from the different parts of Baleno andAroroy will be processed here.

The threat of this industry is theproliferation of the mercury if it will be used toseparate gold or the unexplored effect ofcyanide if the company will use it as analternative to mercury. Tailings pond will alsobe constructed, however, its hazardous effectare not yet known.

POVERTY PROFILE


14/38


Based on the table above, it revealed that the top five Minimum Basic Need ofBarangay Mapia are the following:

1) Proportion of households without access to safe water;2) Proportion of households without access to sanitary toilet facilities;3) Proportion of children 13-16 years old not in high school;

4) Proportion of households with income less than the poverty threshold;5) Proportion of households with income less than the food threshold.

It can be derived that poverty poses the main concern of the barangay aswell as the city. Hence, programs and projects developed by the city governmentshould be geared towards poverty reduction.

Summary of Issues/Concerns and Challenges

1. Proportion of households with no access to safe water.

?Construction of Level II water project (communal faucet) should beimplemented to cover the whole barangay. Such project will reduce thecontamination of water source.

? Chlorination of open dug well as well as deep or shallow well.

? Periodic monitoring of water source.

2. On proportion of households with no access to sanitary toiletfacilities.

Almost 69% or 172 households do not have sanitary toilet. This means

that there is an indiscriminate dumping of human waste anywhere whichmay pose hazard to the health condition of the populace. In view of this,the barangay may allocate funds for this problem so that public or aprivate toilet should be constructed with common septic tank.

3. Proportion of children 13-16 years old not in high school.

? Grant scholarship to poor but deserving students.

? Road improvement for the accessibility of high school

4. Proportion of household with income less than the povertythreshold.

? Encourage investors in the barangay to open new livelihoodopportunities that will provide the residents job that will give them apermanent monthly income.


15/38


? Provide capital for food processing projects and other small scalebusiness.

? Skills enhancement training for residents in preparation for jobopportunities such as welders, mechanics, and other related works.

? Intensification of seeds and animal dispersal with fertilizer and

agricultural equipment.

5. Other social concern that should be given priority:

? Health- upgrade health facilities and provide additional healthequipment to provide better health care services to those in need. Alsoincrease in the allotment for medicines should be included in thebudget of the barangay.

? Social Welfare- there is a need to construct an additional day carecenter to cater children 3-6 years old. Moreover, day care centers

should be given budget for the provision of educational materials tochildren as well as the classroom for better comprehension andfamiliarization of the pre-school children. For the vulnerable groups,mutual aid system should be given.

The programs of the city government are geared towards povertyreduction. Developmental social programsand projects are being conceive toprovide quality education, better healthcare, se curity, and empowering all sectorsof the society.

Education

The greatest challenge of theDepartment of Education with the LGU is

to provide quality education amongchildren in elementary and secondarylevel. It may seem elusive but it can be achieved through provision of programsand projects anchored on academic excellence and education for all.

Mapia Elementary School is the only primary school present in thebarangay. It caters to children 6-12 years old. However, there are children above12 years old who still avail elementary education. This is a complete elementaryschool complemented with1:1 teacher-classroom ratio and approximately 1:35teacher-pupil ratio. Performance indicators of the elementary school also reflectthat it has a graduation rate of 86.96% with almost 0% drop-out rate. Other

indicators are found on table 13.

The facilities of Mapia Elementary School in terms of its classrooms aregood which were renovated or repaired by the TEEP Organization. However,other school facilities that are deemed necessary for the total development of thechildren are lacking. Absence of library room, industrial arts, agriculture and H.E.rooms, laboratory, school clinic and insufficiency of toilets are setbacks in theeducational system of the school. Thus, there is a need to install/construct suchfacilities in order to provide better learning and hands-on experience of thelessons being taught to the school children.

The accessibility of elementary and secondary education poses anotherproblem of the barangay. Barangay Mapia has 56 children (6-12 years old) or aproportion of 22.20 who are not attending elementary education. For secondaryor high school, a total of 82 children ages 13-16 years old or a proportion 68.90%who are not attending secondary education.

Health is likewise concern with the use of contraceptive among couples inBarangay Mapia. The barangay has 248 couples. Of the said number, only 25

couples are practicing family planning methods. Among the enumerated methodsbelow, majority of the couples chose rhythm method with a total 10 couples.

Rhythm or natural method is not always safe due to miscalculations.There is a big possibility that population growth will continue to rise. The need ofadvocacy for responsible parenthood, proper care for children, etc are necessaryto help parents realize their important roles to their families.
