PROFILE OF TAGUM

The City of Tagum is classified as first (1st) class component city in the Province of
Davao del Norte and has a total land area of 19,580 hectares. In terms of land use
classification, the city is still primarily an agricultural city with fifty-nine percent (59%) of
the total land area devoted for agricultural use. Out of 23 barangays, 17 are engaged in
agricultural production such as Rice, Coconut, Durian and Banana (Export Cavendish) as
major crops. Since the city has no potential to scenic attractions, the city government
together with the religious and private sectors made some innovations and best practices
to complement the lacking natural attractions of the city like the development of Energy
Park (E-Park), Botanical Park, Bird Park and Banana Beach with second growth forest
and animal attractions, and Nestle Phil. Coffee demo farm.

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION

Tagum City is strategically located at the southern part of Mindanao. It is

intersected by two (2) major road network systems namely: The Phil-Japan Friendship
Highway (Daang Maharlika) and Surigao-Davao Coastal Road which connect the city to
other major destinations in the region and in the entire Mindanao. This led to the City
being declared as Regional Center for Commerce and Trade by the Regional

Development Council.

LAND AREA
The city comprises a total land area of approximately 19,580 hectares. Of its 23
barangays, nine are classified as urban while 14 are rural. Barangay Madaum has
the largest land coverage at 2,900.60 has while Barangay Magugpo Poblacion
occupies the smallest land area with approximately 96.68 has.

Figure 2 Topographic Map of Tagum City

RIVER SYSTEM

Two (2) major rivers bounded the city, namely; Hijo River and Tagum-
Libuganon River which measure 700 sq. km. and 3,064 sq. km. respectively. These
river systems serve as primary channels of runoff water from upland areas and from
the city in particular. Commonly, outfall areas within the city are drained into the
Davao gulf which also serves as the major outfall area of the municipalities and cities
surrounding the gulf.

SOIL CLASSIFICATION
Tagum City has five recognized and mapped soil series, namely: Hydrosols (Hd),
Busaon Series (Bs), Cabangan Series (Cb), San Manuel Series (Sm), Camansa
Series (Ca), and two miscellaneous land types: the Built – up areas (BU) and the
Major Rivers/Water bodies (R/W) as shown on Figure 4.

Figure 4 Soil Map of Tagum City

 LAND USE
Tagum’s physical development has generally followed a multi-nodal
pattern based from the 2011 – 2025 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Settlements are
highly concentrated in the urban barangays and emerging rural barangays in the city
where jobs, services, facilities, utilities and infrastructure are situated.

Figure 5: Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Tagum City, 2011-2025

CLIMATE
Tagum City falls under Climate Level IV in which rainfall is evenly distributed
throughout the year. According to data gathered from the PAGASA Agromet Station
3, the annual minimum and maximum temperature in 2010 were 22 and 32.1
degrees Celsius, respectively. However, the trend (2003-2010) shows that the
annual average minimum temperature decreased by almost 4 degrees while the
annual average maximum temperature increased by almost 1 degree.

The annual average rainfall in 2010 was recorded at 162.5 mm. The rainfall
observations during years 2003-2007 shows a very minimal rainfall data, however,
this does not indicate very minimal rainy days due to the varied times of observations
at the Agromet station which results erratic rainfall data.

Tagum City has three prevailing wind systems during different periods of the
year. South Westerly winds are predominant during the months of April to
September while North Easterly winds prevail during the months of October to
March. North Pacific Trade Winds occur during transition periods which fall between
September and October. The average wind speed was also recorded at two point
eight (2.8) miles per second.

DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS
Tagum City had a total population of 259,444 in 2015, following an
increasing trend over the past 25 years (Figure 6).

Philippine Statistics Authority, 2015

Figure 6
 Tagum City ranked a first among the top ten most densely-populated cities in
Davao Region, with 1,325 persons per sq km in which 33% of its population is
exposed to flooding (DRDP,2017).

A higher percentage (66.19%) of the population are of working age. In

comparison, the younger age group (0-14 years old) comprise 29.6% of the
population, while those aged 65 years old and over are 4.21%. This implies that the
city has considerable workforce and economic potential, which can be instrumental
in increasing adaptive capacity. Section 2
will further identify where the dependent population is concentrated and what their
specific needs are, in order to provide appropriate climate actions.

Moreover, Tagum City has also a population density of around thirteen (13)
persons per hectare in 2010, much higher than that of the province of Davao del
Norte which is three (3) persons per hectare. Among the 23 barangays of Tagum
City, Magugpo North occupies the highest population density at 84 persons per
hectare, followed by Magugpo South at 74 persons per hectare. On the other hand,
San Agustin which is one of the rural barangays manifested very low density at 2
persons per hectare. Moreover, it is observed that Magugpo Poblacion does not
manifest over congestion when measured by population density for it only posted
around 50 persons per hectare.

It is indicated further that urban barangays have higher gross densities at 25

persons per hectare, compared to the rural barangays which is placed at 7 persons
per hectare. This is a normal inclination considering that people opted to settle in
urban barangays rather than the rural areas. Similarly, barangays which are
identified as major and minor growth centers (which includes all the urban
barangays) have higher densities compared to the rest of the barangays. Moreover,
the presence of various economic opportunities and accessibility to the different
social and economic services and facilities make the urban areas attractive to
settlers.

According to the latest Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Tagum City, the
following barangays are with higher population density than the city’s:
1. Magugpo East
2. Magugpo North
3. Magugpo Poblacion
4. Magugpo South
5. Magugpo West
 6. Mankilam
7. Visayan Village
8. La Filipina
9. Magdum
10. San Miguel

Settlement Patterns and Housing

Tagum City is the haven of more than 100 residential subdivisions ranging from
economic, socialized and high-end projects. Resettlement sites initiated by the
government are also provided within residential zones. These comprise majority of the
areas occupied for residential purposes. It is also noted that clusters of residential
structures proliferate within the urban areas and emerging rural barangays. Among the
factors that attract people from other parts of the province to reside in Tagum is the
conducive environment for earning a living and the presence of various services for
business, education and public services. In-migration has created demand for housing
thereby making use of available areas for residential purposes. It has also been observed
that even in the adjacent barangays from the poblacion, residential structures are
present. This is attributed to the fact that dwelling needs have been increasing due to
increasing population.

In 2010, Tagum City has reached 241,418 household population and a total
occupied housing unit of 52,699. Accordingly, with the growth of population, the need for
housing is also increasing.

ECONOMIC TRENDS

Tagum City is a 1st income class component city. In terms of land use
classification is still primarily an agricultural city with 59 percent of the total land area
devoted for agricultural use. Out of 23 barangays, 17 are engaged in agriculture
production such as Rice, Coconut, Durian and Banana (Export Cavendish) as major
crops.

The inclusion of Plan Unit Development (PUD) and/or the Madaum Development
Master Plan (MDMP) in the approved Zoning Ordinance of the city, an area owned and

1
managed by APO Estates Corporation in Barangay Madaum has opened opportunities
with respect to economic activities.
The said master plan is a mix-used of land composed of the following:
a. Industrial Estate
b. Commercial Areas
c. Residential Areas (High-End Subdivisions)
d. Institutional
e. Recreational and Eco-Tourism
f. Retirees Village
g. On-going International Sea Port

The proposed light and medium industrial zone are located at Barangay
Pandapan and Magdum. The development of satellite growth areas is intended to avoid
congestion in the city proper. The establishment of malls, small and medium enterprises
(i.e manufacturing and food processing), agriculture and aqua -marine support facilities,
infrastructure facilities, housing facilities (high-end and low cost) and other institutional
facilities also plays a vital role in the economic development of the city.

Business centers have grown rapidly over the past 10 years. These resulted in
more economic opportunities and challenges. Tagum Public Market serves as the trading
area for all agricultural crops and aquacultural products from Tagum and other cities and
municipalities, as well as the Tagum Overland Transport Integrated Terminal and
Livestock
Auction Center. The Tagum City Cultural and Trade Center (TCCTC) meanwhile
contributes to local revenue, with registered stall owners, including those engaged in
night market activities along the major streets of TCCTC and City Hall. Transient vendors
who occupy along designated areas also pays tariff tickets to the city especially during
the market days.

The city’s tax revenue is Php 301,377,377.91, general income is Php

197,091,853.34, income from economic enterprise is Php 111, 907, 979.14 while the
Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) share accounts to Php 610,271,896.80.

 HAZARDS AND DISASTERS

Natural Hazards identified in Tagum City are flooding, sea level rise, storm surge/
typhoon, and landslide while earthquake-related hazards are liquefaction and tsunami,
while the identified Man-made hazards were fire, vehicular accident, bombing and
insurgencies. Historically, flooding and landslide are frequent in the city with an estimated
occurrence of once every 1-3 years and sea level rise affects the communities at a very
minimal prevalent rate while the rest mentioned hazards are just potential in the locality.

Earthquake
An earthquake is weak to violent shaking of the ground produced by the sudden
movement of rock materials below the earth’s surface.
Evidence of ground movement is demonstrated by the presence of a fault. A fault is a
fracture along which the blocks of crust on either side have moved relative to one another
parallel to the fracture.
The Philippines is situated along a highly seismic area lying along the PACIFIC
RING OF FIRE where two major tectonic plates (the Philippine Sea and Eurasian) meet
and are highly prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. This explains the occurrence
of earthquakes and tsunamis and the existence of around 300 volcanoes of which 22 are
active.

K to 12 Basic Education
(Regular Class)

The K to 12 Basic Education Program

It covers 4 years of education (from Grade 7 to Grade 10) to provide sufficient time
for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for
senior high school, and, ultimately, tertiary education, middle-level skills development,
employment, & entrepreneurship.

Science, Technology, & Engineering (STE) Program

In line with its thrust to strengthen Science and Mathematics education in the
country, the Department of Education (DepEd), through the Bureau of Secondary Education
(BSE), has officially implemented the Science, Technology and Engineering (STE) Program
since 2004 in 112 schools nationwide.

Special Program in Foreign Language (SPFL) - Spanish

This program aims to enhance the ability of learners to engage in meaningful
interaction in a linguistically and culturally diverse global workplace. More importantly, the
SPFL looks to further develop learners’ understanding and appreciation of other people’s
culture.

Special Program in Foreign Language (SPFL) - Korean

To provide learners with opportunities that will make them both locally and
internationally competitive, the Department of Education (DepEd) continues to offer the
Special Program in Foreign Language (SPFL) in public secondary schools nationwide. The
SPFL helps learners develop skills in listening, reading, writing, speaking, and viewing that
are fundamental in acquiring communicative competence in a second foreign language.
This program aims to enhance the ability of learners to engage in meaningful interaction in
a linguistically and culturally diverse global workplace. More importantly, the SPFL looks to
further develop learners’ understanding and appreciation of other people’s culture.

Academic Track
Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) Strand
Science education aims to develop scientific literacy among learners that will prepare them
to be informed and participative citizens who are able to make judgments and decisions
regarding applications of scientific knowledge that may have social, health, or
environmental impacts.

CAPACITIES AND VULNERABILITIES AND KEY DRRM

MEASURES

VULNERABILITY of a community is linked to the capacity of the community to deal with

hazards and their attendant impact. Vulnerability is inversely proportional to capacities i.e.,
low vulnerability-high capacity or high vulnerability-low capacity. CAPACITY can also be
grouped under the same groupings as vulnerabilities. Therefore, capacities can be
classified as physical capacity, social and economic capacities.

This is a paragraph giving a general picture and idea of what is supposed to be

expected to be seen in the part V of this contingency plan. Furthermore, statement in
salient points of the key areas for preparedness is answered school base which highlight
the capabilities and vulnerabilities. A statement on the salient points of this part V is also
expected to be highlighted here so that there is a preliminary paragraph before showing the
table. The entry of the table is as follows:
