VISION :
BATO, an economically sustained premier

eco-tourism destination in Bicol with God-loving,
educated, healthy, self-reliant and empowered
people towards the attainment of disaster-
resilient community and ecologically balanced
environment with an organized system of
governance.
The Local Government Unit of BATO shall

initiate and implement plans, programs and
activities that will enhance social and economic
stability, self-reliance, improved quality of life
and morality through active people’s
participation under an ecologically sound
environment.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 HISTORY
The Origin of the Town’s Name
With the Spanish Conquestadores led by Juan de Salcedo set foot in Catanduanes in 1575,
Bato remained for a time unexplored. However, during the Hispanization of the Philippines, the
Governadorcillo ordered that all settlements must have their names registered, together with the
data on population and estimated taxes due the King of Spain.
It was on this purpose that local Spanish officials assigned to the place asked a woman who
was washing clothes in the natural stone well, the name of the settlement. She thought it that the
Spaniards were asking the name of the well. So she answered “Bato” which the Spaniards recorded
and reported as the name of one of the sitios of Virac.
So then, the place was called Bato until it became a full pledge municipality on April 15,
1799. The appointment of Alcalde Municipal came late in 1898.
The people of the newly created municipality, fought bravely the Spanish guards with
Capitan Diego as the head of the insurectos and General Brumbuela as the commanding officer
who took charge of Virac, Calolbon, and Bato. The fighting continued until after the Philippine
Independence was declared at Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898 because of the communication
gap.
American Occupation: Pre-War
When the Americans came during the year Philippine Independence was declared at Kawit,
Cavite, the Batonhons who did not like to lose their hard-earned freedom went to the mountains
and refused to recognize the American administration. But the natives were easily convinced to put
down their arms because of the Americans’ better knowledge of warfare and superior firearms.
Establishment of Schools
The natives found the Americans more democratic than the Spaniards. In 1904, the Bato
Public School was founded. It was housed in the Tribunal with two teachers from Albay and an
American supervising them by the name of Ralph Robinson. Miss Maria Nogot handled class A and
Mr. Toribio de Vibar, class B. Batonhons found the school much better than the Spanish convent
schools in terms of methods of instruction and school supplies. While the Spanish schools forced
children to memorize the cartilla, the Americans introduced practical knowledge through English
instruction with school supplies available for free. In 1908, Miss Juliana Toledana, the first batonhon
to be trained in the methods of teaching, taught in the public school. Then in 1909, teachers were
all residents of Bato. It was in 1914 that Catanduanes became district 2, a separate district of the
Division of Albay.
Japanese Occupation
On December 12, 1941, two Japanese warships docked at Cabugao Bay. Several squadrons
of warplanes flew over the skies of the Poblacion, Batalay, Cabugao and Virac. Since the Batonhon
anticipated their coming by drills on how to backout and get shelter, in a few minutes they were
able to evacuate to safer places with handy belongings The Japanese occupied the Batalay
Elementary School and be-friended the evacuees. Majority of them were not convinced, so they
remained in their places of refuge. All kinds of business transactions whether government or private
were paralyzed.

A military government was organized in Bato after the fall of Bataan on April 9, 1942, and a
Filipino major ruled under the Japanese military command. In 1943, Atty. Basilio Soriao was
appointed mayor and the incumbent mayor Ricardo Rojas was appointed as Provincial Governor
by the Japanese Imperial Government until Catanduanes was liberated. A guerilla unit was
organized in Catanduanes with Major Salvador A. Rodulfo as the commanding officer and Bato as
the official headquarter. Several encounters with the Japanese forces were made.
BATO: 1945 – 1980
After the liberation of Catanduanes in 1945, Vice Mayor Moises Tarrobal assumed the position of
Mayor of Bato and restored the function of the commonwealth government until July 4, 1946 when
the country gained independence from American control.
Today Batonhon find it wholesome to glance in a while to the glorious past and trace from it the
roots of greatness that the town has achieved.

CHAPTER TWO
2.0 GEO-PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

2.1. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
Municipality of Bato, Catanduanes is situated at the South-eastern tip of the Province of
Catanduanes. It is bounded on the North by the Municipality of San Miguel and the Municipality of
Baras; on the South by Cabugao Bay; on the East by the Pacific Ocean and on the West by the
Municipality of Virac – the Capital Town of the province. Its National Road served as the major access
road of six (6) municipalities in going to the capital town of Virac. They are the municipalities of Baras,
San Miguel, Gigmoto, Viga, Panganiban and Bagamanoc. The seat of the municipality is situated 8
kilometers from the Provincial Capitol located in the heart of the Capital town of Virac. Municipality
of Bato is encompassed by the meridional coordinates 124015’16” to 124021’7” East longitude and
13032’50” to 13038’47” North latitude.
Figure 2.0
2.2. POLITICAL BOUNDARIES and LAND AREA
Bato belongs to the 5th Class Municipality of Catanduanes. It is politically subdivided having
a 27 barangays of which are five (5) urban barangays namely; Cabugao, Libod Poblacion, Ilawod
Poblacion, Tamburan and Banawang. Twenty-two (22) are rural barangays namely, Marinawa,
Binanuahan, San Andres, Guinobatan, Sipi, Sibacungan, Tilis, Oguis, Aroyao Pequeño, Mintay, Libjo,
Talisay, San Roque, Buenavista, Cagraray, Batalay, Pananaogan, Bote and Carorian
Having a total land area of 4,880 hectares, Bato is considered the smallest

municipality comprising 3.23% of the total land area of Catanduanes. Predominantly, it is an
agricultural community with 71.49% or 3,488.68 hectares planted with rice, abaca, coconut and
corn. Built-up area used for commercial and residential areas comprises 1.94% or 94.91 hectares.
Other land uses are fishpond, nipaland and thicket occupying 21.08% or 1,028.08 hectares. In terms
of land area barangay San Roque is consideredthe largest among the twenty seven (27) barangays
occupying 415.534 hectares or 8.51% of the municipality’s area. Considered large barangays also
are: Carorian, San Roque, Marinawa, and Sipi with a land area of 370.342 hectares, 350.555 hectares,
Table 2.0

319.11 hectares, 310.101 hectares, respectively. Barangay Libod Poblacion on the other hand is the
smallest (15.654 hectares) comprising 0.32% only of the municipality’s area.
Figure 2.1 – Boundary Map
2.3. TOPOGRAPHY
2.3a. ELEVATION
The natural feature of the municipality of Bato is something it should be proud of. Having an
elevation of land which varies from sea level to about 700 meters above sea level, it has space and
areas for approximately all its necessities. The area of flat lands along the coast of Cabugao Bay
and the Pacific and those along the banks of Bato River do not only cater to the agricultural needs
of its inhabitants but also to their shelter and recreational needs.

Bato River is divided into two (2) major portions. One portion is located west of the bank. This
portion constitutes forest and reserve area of the locality, within this forest is watershed areas which
could be utilized as potable water source not only for Bato but also for Virac. The eastern portion of
the bank of the river covering 25-30 percent of the locality is productive or agriculturally used. Also
included in this area are the swamps and marshes of Bato, which are spawning grounds of games
and fishes.
FIGURE 2.2 – Topographic Map
The higher elevation of the eastern portion of the river is predominantly agricultural to
majority crops such as abaca, coconut and mixed orchard crops. Still higher in elevation than the
next preceding area occupying a 2.5 hectares land is a man-made feature, the PAG-ASA (Philippine
Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) Weather Station located in
Buenavista. Thus, from its location, the PAG-ASA could be very well forewarn inhabitants of the
locality of any incoming or by-passing typhoon. Another man-made feature is the human
settlements scattered all throughout the locality but are generally concentrated either along the
coastal regions of Bato.
2.3b. SLOPE
The municipality is generally characterized by a moderately sloping or rolling (815%) and very
gently sloping (3-8%) terrain. Its flat lands (0-3%) are mostly found along the coast of Cabugao Bay,
the banks of the Bato River and the Poblacion area stretching eastward to Barangay Talisay, Libjo
and Bagumbayan. These flat lands occupy an average area of 25-30 percent hectarage of Bato.
The eastern portion of Bato facing the Pacific Ocean has a slope ranging from 3-30%. This area
includes the coastal barangays of Cagraray, Carorian, Bote and Pananaogan shields the lowlands
of the municipality from the incoming winds of the Pacific. These areas are mostly planted to
orchard, hard wood trees and abaca. Part of the western and northern portion of Bato lying on the

boundary between this municipality and the municipalities of Virac and San Miguel is mountainous
area characterized by a strongly hilly slope (30%). It is predominantly forestal. This forest, however, is
partly denuded, hence there is a need for reforestation in order to prevent erosion and flood. Thus,
reforestation of the forest zone would directly and indirectly protect and preserve the minimal flat
lowlands of Bato.
One of the important factors being considered in determining the suitability of lands for
urban development as well as the capability of an area for cultivation is the slope. Shown in the
Table 2.1 is the slope classification of the municipality.

2.4. GEOLOGY
2.4a. Landforms
Existence of fault lines along barangay Oguis, Sipi, Binanuahan, Cabugao and San Andres.
These areas are considered critical especially in terms of development as urban expansion.
Like other municipalities in the province of Catanduanes, Bato has many mineral deposits like
gold, manganese, coal and copper. Many mining companies have prospected and drilled some of
the areas but after several months of observation, have stopped operating and disappeared.
2.4b. Soil
The municipality of Bato is composed of five (5) kinds of soils namely: hydrosol, mountain soil,
alimodian clay loam, Louisiana clay, and San Miguel silt loam which shows in the SOIL MAP. Below is
the Table 2.2 showing the type of soil with their corresponding area.

As of 2012 data from the Office of Assesor, 56% of the municipal total land area is agricultural
land which accounted 4, 487.54 hectares; it is followed by residential land use which covers 59.5502
hectares or 16.6% of the municipal total land area. The institutional land area covers 27.76 hectares
or 5% of the total land area while the industrial area cover 6.0111 hectares or 0.13% . The fishpond
area cover 35.4 hectares or 0.766% which can be found in Talisay and Batalay.

2.5c. Urban Land Use

The urban area embraced five (5) barangays namely: Cabugao and Libod, Ilawod,
Banawang and Tamburan. These five barangays covers 395. 5401 hectares or 8.56% of the total
land area of the municipality.
The urban area has a land uses dominated by agricultural area but domination of this land
was primarily used for some residential purposes by some of the land owners.
The decline in the area of agriculture is attributed mainly to the conversion of agriculture land
to urban uses .
2.6. WEATHER & CLIMATE

Bato fall under the second type of climate, characterized by the absence of dry season with
a very pronounced maximum rainfall from November to January, while April and May are the only
months with the least rainfall averaging 162 mm. With itslocation along the pacific coast, Bato is
neither sheltered from northeast monsoon nor the trade winds as well as cyclonic storms. From
September to early March thenortheasterly wind prevails at an average velocity of 3 knots. While
the southwesterlywind or “Habagat” prevails from May to early September at an average velocity
of 4 knots. March to early May, wind is variable

CHAPTER THREE
3.0 POPULATION AND SOCIAL PROFILE

3.1. SOCIAL COMPOSITION and CHARACTERISTICS
3.1a. Household Population by Age-Group and Sex Distribution

Based on the 2019 LGU COUNTS survey, Bato recorded a total of 22, 680 population. This
translates to a population of around 4, 725 HH’s. Moreover, the average household size recorded
was 4.80 which translates in an average of four persons living in the same roof.
Of the 22, 680 populations in 2019 LGU Counts, males accounted for 11, 522 or 50.80% while
females comprised of 11, 158 or 49.27%.
The age-sex distribution of population shows that children aged 5- 9 , 9-10, 15-19 and 20-24
years comprised the largest age groups, with each making up 10.52%, 10.32%, 10.06 % and 9.60& of
the household population, respectively; followed by those in the age groups 25-29 years (8.54%) and
1-4 years (7.5%)(Table 3.0). Looking at the pyramid Fig. 3.1, it is notable that males outnumbered
females in almost all age groups.

CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 Environmental Management
5.1. Natural Hazards/ Constraints

There are seven natural hazards identified that pose risks to the municipality based on
maps provided by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), The following discusses the
risks of flooding, soil erosion/landslide, earthquake/ground shaking, storm surge, liquefaction
in Bato.
These hazards may hamper developments in the City if not considered in local
development plans and land use planning.
5.1a Flooding
Flooding in many parts of municipality is a major concern mainly because of
the inadequacies of old and now inefficient drainage system. These occurrence occur
especially during heavy rainy season brought by heavy monsoon season. Furthermore, the
absence of adequate river flood control facilities along stretch of Bato River contributes
largely to the cause of flooding.
5.1b Landslide Areas

Landslides can either be rain-induced or otherwise. It poses a serious threat to
twenty (20) barangays namely: – particularly those in high elevations. The roads along those
critical areas are high risk to landslide.
57
5.1c Fault Zones/Groundshaking
Within the Municipality of Bato is a fault zone/line that passes through

barangays Binanuahan, Cabugao, San Andres, and the western-forested areas of Oguis and
Sipi. These barangays are critical areas in the sense that slight earth movements or
earthquakes could greatly affect places in these barangays, which are along the fault line
and areas within its vicinity.
5.1d Other Areas (Stormsurge, Liquefaction)
58
59
5.2. Solid Waste Management
Solid Waste Management is a major environmental concern of the government.

Increased in number of populace is putting a lot of stress on the environment, particularly on
the volume of waste generated by the residents and the growing commercial establishments.
Pursuant to Republic Act No. 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, the
Municipal Solid Waste Management Board was created.
5.2a. Waste Collection and Disposal
WASTE COLLECTION & GARBAGE

COLLECTION REPORT Based on the 2019 LGU Counts survey, 4,
CY 2019 147 HHs out of 4,725 HHs in the municipality
disposed their garbage through the municipal
578 garbage collection.
LGU Disposal Waste collected disposed at the
Others controlled dumpsites located in Buenavista,
Bato, Catanduanes with a total land area of 2,
4147 135.0 square meter . As per data given from the
Office of Solid Waste Management, the
recorded waste generated accounted to
39,483.87 kg. At present, the municipality owns and uses 3 units of operational garbage
trucks for its garbage collection system. The frequency of garbage collection in every
barangay conducted once a week serving almost 27 barangays.
Waste disposal is still a mixed waste system. This means that at present, there is no
coordinated segregation of solid waste from the source to disposal level, but then Information
Education Campaign (IEC) on waste segregation has been intensified all throught-out the
municipality.

CHAPTER VII
7.0 INSTITUTIONAL SECTOR
7.1 Local Government Structure
The Organizational Structure of the Local Government Unit of Bato

is a divisional structure with two distinct branches; the Local Chief Executive (Figure 7.0) and
Legislative Department(Figure 7.1) . There are 17 offices under the direct control and
supervision of the local chief executive; and 3 offices which the LCE has no direct control or
supervision over. The LCE has no direct control or supervision over the, Office of the Municipal
Trial Court, Police Station, Fire Station, and the Office of the Public School Division
Superintendent.
7.1a. Staffing of LGU Offices/Departments

Listed below in the Table 7.0 are the employees of the municipality CY 2019.
Based on the report of the HRMO, as of December 2019, there are 47 permanent employees,
4 vacant plantilla positions and 108 individuals who are employed under a job order basis. It
denotes that in every one (1) vacant position there are (9) the permanent position. Meanwhile,
there are two (2) employees that are co-terminus with the LCE, the Executive Secretary and
Solid Waste Project Manager. This translate to roughly one (1) employee per 482 persons of the
population.
Local governments rely on its staff sufficiency to effectively execute its mandate
and efficiently run its day-to-day operations. The number of Job Order Personnel is much higher
than the permanent staff. Looking at the data provided by the HRMO there are offices still
understaff specifically those in the frontline services, thus filling-up of the vacant plantilla
positions should be given a full extent of considerations.
In like manner, re-classification or re-organization of the staffing pattern should

be considered by the local government for a more institutionalized and efficient system of
service delivery and to bridge the salary gaps among employees.
