BARANGAY PROFILE

A. Location and Land Area

Barangay Mambatangan is one of the 22 barangays of the municipality of Manolo

Fortich, Province of Bukidnon. The barangay is located along the national highway of
Bukidnon and it can be reached by any mode of land transportation. The populace used
to buy goods and other daily needs in Puerto, Cagayan de Oro City because of its
proximity which is only five minutes by land transportation.

Barangay Mambatangan has a total land area of 1,634.26 hectares. Of the barangay’s
land area, 72 has are for residential, 19 has for commercial, 5 has for institutional, 537
has for agro-industrial, 377 has for agricultural, 36 has for industrial, 472 has as
pastureland/timberland and 116.26 has are for other uses.

B. Political Subdivision

It consists of nine puroks, namely: Purok I (Poblacion),Purok 1-A , Purok 2 (Old

Mambatangan), Purok 2-A , Purok 3 & 6 (Evacuater Area), Purok 4 (Biga), Purok 5
(Cuarentinas), and Purok 7. It is bounded to the north by Barangay Puerto of Cagayan de
Oro, to the south by Barangay Alae, to the east by Barangay Mantibugao and to the west
by Barangay Balubal of Cagayan de Oro City.

C. Population

As of CY 2017, the total population of the barangay reached 4,280. This is higher by
8 people than that recorded in 2010. Total number of households totaled 280 posting an
average household size of 5 or five members per household. The proportion of male
population was a little higher of 53.5 percent. The barangay is composed mostly of
young population with 20 percent are below five years old, 20.4 percent are between six
to 12 years old, and 10.3 percent are between 13-16 years old. Only 28.2 percent of the
total population are part of the labor force which indicated a high dependency ratio.

D. Education

The barangay has one public elementary school which is located in the Barangay
Poblacion. The school caters to all the children of the 9 puroks of the barangay. School
children that come from distant puroks usually walk as far as 5 to 6 km to reach the
school.

There is no secondary school in the barangay. Most of the students pursue their high
school education in neighboring schools such as the Agusan National High School in
Agusan, Cagayan de Oro City and Alae National High School which is 10-15 minutes
travel from the Poblacion.

Tertiary education is not available in the barangay. However, with the proximity of
the barangay to the regional center, Cagayan de Oro City, college education is easily
accessible. Most of the students commute daily as jeepneys and buses are always
available.

It is noted that inspite the availability of free public elementary education, there is a
significant number of the children between 6-12 years old who are not attending school.
In 2017, 46 children with ages six to 12 years old are not attending elementary school. A
cross tabulation of the data reveals that this number comprises 16.1 percent of the total
population (286) within this age bracket. Distance is cited as one of the reasons that
hampers accessibility especially for children living outside the poblacion where the
school is located. The female children are mostly those not attending school. This calls
for massive advocacy among parents on the importance of sending their children to
school.

The situation worsened at the secondary level, where 97 children with ages 13-16
years old or almost 67 percent to total population of this age bracket are not attending
high school. Most of these are males at 59 percent. This can be attributed to most male
children helping their families earn income particularly assisting their parents in farm
work and other menial jobs.

On the overall, almost 33.2 percent of the age bracket 6-16 years old are not attending
school. Factors such as poor accessibility and affordability are the major reasons that
need to be addressed in the plan period.

E. Health, Nutrition and Sanitation

The health and nutrition status among children below five years old has significantly
improved. In 2017, there is no incidence of mortality and malnutrition among this age
bracket. There is also a favorable situation on the part of women where there is only 1
recorded death due to pregnancy-related cases.

About seven percent of the total households do not have access to safe water.
However, 42.5 percent of households do not have access to sanitary toilet facility posing
a serious concern on sanitation. This about 119 HHs to be provided with sanitary toilets
in the immediate period.

F. Housing

A considerable number of households (58) are still living in makeshift housing which
is about 21 percent of the total households in the barangay. Moreover, 24 households or
8.6 percent to total households are squatters. The situation is indicative of poor earning
capacities of families which make shelter as one of the basic needs unaffordable and
inaccessible.

G. Peace and Order

The barangay is proud that it has no incidence of reported crime in 2017. The
vigilant citizenry as well as, the strong leadership of barangay officials and workers is a
clear manifestation of its strong advocacy on crime prevention.

H. Income and Livelihood

The poverty situation of the barangay deserves priority attention in the plan period.
In 2017, there are 178 HHs that have income below the poverty threshold of P3,000
month. This is about 63.6 % to the total households or an estimated 541 population
living below poverty incidence. In terms of food incidence, the magnitude is also high at
39.3 percent affecting 110 families or 355 in terms of population. There are five
households which experience food shortage or almost 2 percent to total households
affecting 31 individuals. The high magnitude of poverty can be attributed to considerable
number of working age population who are unemployed (67), which is 15.7 percent to
the total members of the labor force. These data have to be analyzed also in the context
of the primary sources of income of most households in the barangay so that appropriate
interventions can be undertaken to increase their earning capacities. Meanwhile, the
problem on the difficulty of families in meeting their food needs should be given special
attention to ensure healthy and productive communities.

Surprisingly, even with high incidence of poor and food poor households in the
barangay, health and nutrition status of children and mothers remained favorable as
indicated in the previous data. However, the sustainability of having a favorable health
condition among children and mothers is affected by low income.

The table above shows the Agriculture Land Use of Barangay Mambatangan. The
principal crops are Mango, corn and cassava. Minor crops are rambutan and banana; very
few kinds are cultivated throughout the barangay.
Out of the total cultivated area, 41.15% is devoted to mango production, 30.88%
to corn whie 23.20% to cassava. Very little area is devoted to other crops. Monocropping
and corn-cassava relay are the most common farming system practiced by majority of the
farmers considering low rainfall distributed in the barangay.

There is no known fishery area in the barangay due to limited water resources
while backyard animal raising is minimal per household.

There are no known or identified Network on protected area for Agriculture and
Agro Industrial Development Zone (NPAAD) nor Strategic areas for fishery
Development Zone (SAFDZ) in Mambatangan. A small area near the cemetery, however,
has been designated by the barangay officialks recently as a greenbelt area.
Area identified as timberland is 906.4743 hectares.

Corn and cassava are usually planted as relay crops. There is usually no
second cropping for corn because of the very limited rainfall in Baragay
Mambatangan.
There are about 555 households in Mambatangan and on average each
households cultivates 1.09 hectares.

Take above shows the usual months when land preparation, planting and
harvesting of corn and cassava. There is no second cropping for corn due to low
rainfall in the area. The usual cropping pattern is corn-cassava relay due to the
aforementioned climatic condition. One month after planting corn, cassava is
planted between corn rows. When corn is harvested, cassava is left growing in the
field till is harvested in late February or March, though some start harvesting as
early as January.

High Labor Requirements starts with land preparation followed by planting,

weeding and fertilizing. This high requirement comes again at harvest time. After
corn is harvested low labor requirements is needed while cassava is growing.
Land preparation starts immediately after harvesting cassava in late
February till March before the rainy season begin. It involves two plowing and two
harrowing. Planting corn is done when the rainy season starts. Fertilizer application
is done during planting followed by sidedressing the following month.
Farm labor is usually done by the family during land preparation. Hiring
laborers is resorted to for household cultivating areas larger than one hectares,and
during planting, fertilizing, and weeding of corn-cassava areas. Very after labor is
sourced within the barangay.

4.2 Occurrence of Pests and Diseases

Pest and disease for crops and livestock are minor problems in
Mambatangan. Chemical insecticides and rodenticides are commonly resorted to
when there are infestation. Over The years, there has been no serious outbreak of
pests and diseases which has been reported to the Municipal Agriculture Office until
now.

 I. Vision

By 2021, We Envisioned Barangay Mambatangan to be a highly progressive, secured,

Environment-friendly, Drug-free community and Excellence in Governance inhabited
by Responsible, Healthy, Educated and God-fearing citizenry

The vision of the barangay has three major pillars, namely: 1) economic prosperity, 2)
effective governance, 3) healthy and morally-sound citizenry.

By economic prosperity, the populace commits to transform the barangay into a well-
developed community using sound and appropriate technologies in increasing the
productive capacities of its resources and potentials. More investments are welcome to
create livelihood and employment opportunities. Thus, the communities are more
empowered and secured in terms of sustaining their needs, and thus can actively
participate in the holistic development of the barangay.

Effective and efficient governance coupled with strong leadership is essential in attaining
development, and peace and progress in the barangay. This is further translated into the
eradication of graft and corruption at all levels resulting into a drug-free and secured
barangay. Residents are becoming more conscious of preventing and eradicating crime
and more cooperative in maintaining peace and order.

For the third pillar, the entire barangay citizenry in its collective efforts will sustain
cleanliness in the households and the environment. Good moral values will be constantly
imbued in the households, school, church and all sectors of society as a solid foundation
of attaining a just and God-loving community. With all these three pillars in place, the
barangay will achieve its vision of sustained progress in all spheres of development both
in its physical area and its precious resources – the people.

II. Situational Analysis

The situational analysis of the barangay was conducted using the SWOT (Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) to determine and assess the internal and external
factors or conditions that maybe affecting the development of the area. Attached is Annex
of the SWOT matrix of the area. The column on Strength looks at the internal resources
and capacities of the area that can be used effectively to sustain or help contribute the
attainment of the vision of the barangay. Meanwhile, the column on Weaknesses
determines the internal fault or defect or undesirable circumstance in the barangay that
needs to be addressed in the plan period so that development will not be hindered. For
the external conditions, the column on Opportunities identifies the positive factors
outside the area which the barangay has to take advantage to develop/sustain its strengths
and avert its weaknesses. The column on Threats refers to negative factors outside the
barangay that may hinder its development.

The SWOT analysis of the barangay is anchored on the four (4) major sectors or Key
Result Areas (KRAs), namely: 1) Local Administration; 2) Infrastructure; 3) Economic
Sector; and 4) Social Sector.
A. Local Administration

a. Barangay Governance

One of the strengths that facilitates good governance in the barangay includes the
presence of barangay hall where the seat of administration is being located. This is
reinforced by active and dedicated barangay officials and workers. Their mobility and
delivery of services are being supported by an ambulance and a multi-cab. However, the
performance of their functions are hampered by several weaknesses. The barangay hall
needs improvement in its physical structure and facilities. It has busted lights, no
adequate space and no proper ventilation. These include the construction of session halls
and offices for barangay key officials and workers/volunteers such as the BNS and
BSPOs, rooms for handling cases on child abuse and battered women, perimeter fence
and comfort rooms. These facilities have to be equipped with necessary office
equipment and supplies including basic communication facilities so that the delivery of
basic services to the barangay constituents can be effectively and efficiently planned,
implemented and monitored. These include the provision of communication facilities
such as telephone, hand held radio, internet connection, tables, chairs, kitchen utensils,
audio visual facilities and other office supplies and paraphernalia.

The barangay also takes pride for its active officials and workers that highly
contribute to good governance in the area despite several weaknesses and gaps. Lack or
limited funds is identified as major deterrent in providing incentives to barangay workers
like honorarium and travelling expenses, hospitalization, death and accident insurance
and even the issuance of identification cards. These barangay officials and workers also
clamor for capability building trainings to further hone their skills along good and
effective governance.

Even with the presence of two vehicles (multi cab and ambulance) in the barangay,
their operations are often affected by the limited funds for gasoline and maintenance and
even the cost of its registration at LTO. On the other hand, the barangay has existing
waiting shed but needs repair since it is already dilapidated.

The barangay looks forward of getting positive financial support from the municipal
and provincial governments, the Congress and other external donors to be able to respond
to their identified needs.

b. Revenue Generation

On revenue generation, the barangay has existing codified ordinance which can be
a good basis in instituting good governance, increase tax collection efficiency, as well
as promoting peace and development in the area. However, some constituents are not
aware or need to be reoriented and educated on this codified ordinance. The conduct of
purok assembly as a means of massive information dissemination will ensure awareness
and generate commitment in supporting the enforcement of said ordinance.

Although the IRA allotment to the barangay is crucial in its operations, this is not
enough to respond to the needs of the constituents and also in developing the potentials of
the area. Thus, the barangay would like to invite more investors so that the resources of
the barangay will be harnessed. This will create employment and more revenues or taxes
will be generated. The presence of clerks and active tax collectors are considered as
strengths as they are instrumental in monitoring and collecting taxes in the barangay.
However, due to lack of funds they are not receiving any honorarium and other incentives
such as hospitalization, accident and death insurance.
B. Infrastructure

The infrastructure sector covers five (5) major components, namely: 1) roads and
bridges; 2) water; 3) telecommunications; and 4) energization.

a. Roads and Bridges

Although there are existing roads and bridges, most of these are not concreted.
Moreover, there is lack of maintenance of these roads. The presence of road right of way
(RROW) encroachers also contributed in the difficulty of maintaining these roads. Some
puroks have no farm-to-market roads (FMR) particularly from Purok 2 to Purok 4 which
hampered the access and marketing of the products in the area.

Inadequate drainage system is another serious problem in the barangay which affects
the proper disposal of liquid waste. The municipal government is seen as a positive
external factor that can assist the barangay in road maintenance, as well as in the
construction of the other support infrastructures such as drainage.

b. Water

The existing water system remains to be improved and its access to be expanded to
reach a majority of the barangay constituents. Currently, there is high cost of installation
fee which is unaffordable to most barangay residents. This is compounded by high cost of
water rates. Its existing water system needs additional water pipe installation to benefit
many households. Another major concern is the absence of fire hydrants in the barangay.
Financial assistance from the municipal government is highly needed to respond to the
water needs of the area.

c. Telecommunications

At present, the barangay has no existing means of communication and its support
facilities. Thus, the provision of handheld radio by the municipal government or the
mayor is utmost priority. The barangay also considered the possibility of requesting
possible line installation from various telecom companies that would likely invest in the
area. The barangay considers telecommunication facilities and technologies very critical
in pushing for the development of the area.

d. Energization

As to the status of energization in the barangay, some Puroks are not yet reached by
electrical power supply. There are electrical posts particularly for Puroks 2 to 7. However,
the barangay is positive in getting support from its electric cooperative in the installation
of needed electrical posts to facilitate energization in said areas.
C. Economic Sector

There are three major components of the sector: Environment and Tourism,
Agriculture and Trade and Industry . The barangay is endowed with rich resources and
potentials in these sectors.

a. Environment and Tourism

The barangay has potentials in developing its tourism industry. There are caves
which can serve as potential tourist attractions but these remain undeveloped and
unregistered with proper bodies such as DENR. Thus, the favorable action of DENR is
seen as an opportunity that these natural resource endowments will be developed into
potential tourist destinations.

Although the barangay has been adopting the Clean and Green Program, the
following have to be addressed in order to promote ecological balance, namely: the
absence of nursery farm house and garbage vehicle. The nursery farm house is crucial in
providing seedlings and planting materials to the barangay constituents so that massive
planting of trees will be undertaken. Another serious problem along proper waste disposal
is the non availability of a dumpsite which is aggravated by the absence of garbage
vehicle.

b. Agriculture

The barangay is endowed with promising potentials of the agriculture sector

especially the availability of land for farming. However, the farm produce are often
affected by the absence of post harvest facilities including solar drier. This is aggravated
by the absence of farm-to-market roads from Purok 5 to Purok 3; Purok 7 to Sitio Vega;
Purok 1 to Purok 4; Purok 1 to Purok 7 and from Purok 7 to Purok 2. Further, the
existing FMRs are not fully developed or maintained. The farmers also lament for high
cost of production inputs such as fertilizer and low price of agricultural products.

Thus, the farmers have been clamoring for such needed facilities and support
infrastructure to improve the productivity of the agriculture sector, thereby increasing
their income. If the needed facilities are in place, these will also assist the farmers
command a better price for their products. Financial support from the municipal and
provincial government is highly needed considering the limited capacity of the barangay
in terms of its IRA.

There are existing farmer associations in the barangay including small coconut
planters organization but most of the officers, coordinator and members are inactive.
Thus, the reactivation of these associations is crucial with the assistance of DA, CDA and
PCA. Likewise, capability building sessions or trainings shall be requested from DA and
PCA including capital assistance to assist the farmers in increasing their production.

Another strength of the barangay along agriculture is livestock production. However,

most of the livestock growers have limited capital to buy feeds and other inputs for raising
livestock. The diminishing area for pasturelands is a major concern that needs to be
addressed. On the other hand, the presence of livestock rustlers is another major threat that
will affect the livestock industry.
 c. Trade and Industry

The barangay has comparative advantages in terms of the presence of trained basket,
candle and soap maker, and dressmaker. However, these handicrafts lack raw materials
and financial support to expand and sustain these livelihood activities/enterprises. Thus,
the barangay will request from the municipal and provincial LGU on the needed financial
assistance to complement the skills training that will be provided by DTI to improve the
quality of products.

D. Social Sector

The social sector covers five (5) major components: 1) Education; 2) Health; 3)
Protective Services; 4) Sports development and 5) Welfare development.

a. Education

The existing elementary school needs major improvements because it has no covered
court and oval, and most of the classrooms are dilapidated including its basketball court.
The school also lacks the necessary facilities such as audio-visual facilities. Its perimeter
fence is not yet completed which entails risks because there are no window grills of the
classrooms. The situation is aggravated by the absence of a school security guard. Its
school stage is also unfinished. The library has limited and obsolete reading materials and
there is difficulty in managing it because of the absence of a librarian.

Other facilities that need immediate attention include the unfinished school stage,
absence of a nurse and no supply of medicines. With the existing classroom needs, the HE
building was utilized as classrooms. It has no facilities and lacks the necessary materials
such as sewing machine.

To respond to the needs/gaps of its existing elementary school, the barangay will
closely coordinate with DepEd for support and to tap funds from the Provincial School
Board, SP, SB, Congress and other external sources. Possible assistance from the NGOs
and provincial government will also be worked out.

b. Health

Its existing barangay health center serves as the venue for the delivery of basic health
services in the entire community. However, its operations is being hampered by limited
facilities such as there is no separate room for family planning services , pre- and post
natal, treatment information and stock room. Moreover, the roof, doors, and toilets are
dilapidated and the windows are already unsafe because these are already destroyed. The
lack of supply of medicines is a serious problem which should be addressed immediately
in order not to compromise the health of the barangay constituents.

c. Protective Services

Peace and order, as well as safety in the barangay is being promoted and sustained
with the presence of barangay tanods. However, the limited budget of the barangay has
resulted to many development gaps and challenges. Considering that the services of the
tanods are voluntary with no definite salary, certain incentives have to be given to them to
recognize their contributions in the community. These will include the following: a)
issuance of ID, b) provision of honorarium, benefits and insurance, 3) capability building
or training, 4) provision of needed facilities, equipment and other supplies such as
communication, rescue equipment, digital camera, among others.
 The absence of a vehicle prevents the mobility of law enforcers. This was
compounded by the absence of a digital camera which will facilitate proper documentation
of crime incidence and other acts of violations against certain laws and local ordinances.
There is also a need to construct tanod outposts and facilities along with the issuance of a
motorcycle to closely monitor the peace and order situation of the area. Capability
building for the tanods is important to make them responsive to the demands of the
community.

External support from the House of Representatives, as well as, possible support from
SB, municipal and provincial governments in terms of increasing the honorarium,
provision of insurance and other form of incentives for these volunteer workers is highly
requested.

d. Sports Development

Sports development is another priority concern of the barangay to promote healthy

lifestyle and venue for community interaction. It is also considered as a training ground in
harnessing the potentials of the people in the community especially the youth. The
barangay hopes to have a comprehensive sports development program in the immediate
period. The identified concerns are the following: 1) no sports equipment and facilities,
and 2) limited space for sports development. Specifically, the area of the existing
basketball court is not owned by the barangay. It is already dilapidated including the
basketball goal and it is not yet covered with roof. The area of the basketball court is also
substandard.

The presence of a sports coordinator substantially assisted in ensuring teamwork and

promoting physical fitness in the barangay. However the coordinator is not receiving any
form of remuneration including the granting of honorarium.

Support from the municipal and provincial local government is seen as an opportunity
to develop the sports program in the barangay.

e. Welfare Development

Welfare development is more focused on areas where the disadvantaged sectors will
participate in the development processes such as the out-of-school youth, children, senior
citizens and women. These vulnerable sectors can hardly meet their basic needs. Priority
programs and services to alleviate their situation should be undertaken within the period.

The existing Day Care Center is already dilapidated with no ceiling and has
inadequate space for kitchen. It has limited facilities and lacks children’s playground.
There are no day care centers in Puroks 3-5. Facilities and services are still lacking or
inadequate especially for the children and other vulnerable sectors, namely women,
elderly and the persons with disabilities. On the other hand, the senior citizen-
organization and women group demand for more trainings and seminars on livelihood
programs so that they will become more empowered and productive. They also do not
have separate or improvised offices where they can plan, sit and discuss some activities
relative to their sectors.

Financial assistance from the municipal and provincial governments and other
concerned agencies will be worked out to address the development gaps and challenges
of these vulnerable groups.
