Community Based Monitoring System Report

San Vicente, Palawan

INTRODUCTION The Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) was initiated and introduced by the Provincial Government in 1999 through Executive Order No. 15 – “Directing the Institutionalization of the CBMS under the Micro Impact of Macro Adjustment Policies (MIMAP) Project in Palawan” and Executive Order No. 03, 2002 – “Enjoining the Use of the CBMS results as basis in the Formulation of Barangay, Municipal and Provincial Development Plans and Redefining the Local Planning Process” . The municipal government of San Vicente in compliance to Executive Orders 15 and 03, adopted and utilized the system since 1999. Consequently, municipal wide household surveys had been conducted, first in year 2000 using 1999 baseline data and the second was conducted in 2002 with 2001 as base year. These surveys were spearheaded by the Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO) with assistance from Center for International Migration and Development (CIM) Integrated Experts Program and Micro Impacts of Macroeconomic Adjustment Policies (MIMAP) Project Philippines in partnership with the Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO). This economic tool aims to gauge the living condition of each household in the municipality using more than twenty (20) development indicators/variables from all development sectors. The CBMS Municipal Report contains the history, physical features and current data of the welfare status of the ten (10) barangays of the municipality by development sector: demography, economic, security and shelter, water and sanitation, social services, infrastructure and utilities and political participation. The report uses tables for easy comprehension. It presents the distribution and the disparities of the ten (10) barangays for each indicator to show the degree to which the household populations are satisfied. Likewise, comparison from previous to present data is also presented to evaluate the changes of the indicators. The CBMS serves as a planning device to increase the level of awareness and the understanding of the community, private and government agencies for discussion and identification of development interventions and polices to be used in preparation of short term, medium and long term plans. For more than four (4) years, the system has been a major tool in achieving the local government’s goal of improving the economic and social welfare of the people of San Vicente by identifying the concerns and needs of the constituents through community based approach from which development effort of the LGU is being focused. However, with LGU’s limited resources, not all identified programs



and projects are being implemented but it can still be useful data source for the provincial, national and other sponsoring agencies to realize the needed interventions/projects. As the planning and coordinative body at the municipal level, the MPDO is responsible in the implementation of CBMS programs being the primary source of data bank profile in the municipality. It is where CBMS data are prepared, analyzed and processed to be used for planning purposes. Using these data, the local government is able to design and formulate plans based on the existing situations at the barangay level. These plans include the Municipal Comprehensive Land and Water Use Plan of San Vicente which was approved in 2003, using 2000 CBMS data, the Barangay Comprehensive Land Use Plans of the nine (9) barangays which is now currently in progress, using 2002 CBMS data and other studies such as the feasibility study on water system project for the four (4) barangays which are now operational and the municipal and barangay profiles.



History In 1952, the migrants form Manamoc in the island of Cuyo

arrived in a place called Malagnang (meaning muddy), a sitio of Kemdeng which was formerly a part of Puerto Princesa City. The first to arrive were the Dandal brothers (anastacio, Ricardo and Lauro), Alberto Radam and Marcelino Gadiano with their respective families. Later, the relatives of the first settlers followed. Among themselves, they elected Anastacio Dandal as their first barrio lieutenant.

Soon enough, the Agutaynens and Cuyunens increased in number. A disagreement between the two ethnic groups arose. The cause of the disagreement was the choice of the barrio’s patron saint. The Cuyunens wanted Saint Vincent Ferrer, while the Agutaynens wanted Saint Isidro Labrador.

The people then decided to resolve the issue by choosing the town patron by lot. The name of Saint Vincent Ferrer was drawn; thus the name Malagnang was changed to San Vicente.

In 1969, Mr. Lauro Dandal ( a former barrio captain) sought the assistance of the late Mayor Donato Mangga of Puerto Princesa in the establishment of San Vicente as municipality. Mayor Napoloen Ordonez of Taytay supported this move.

Later, the Municipal Council of Puerto Princesa passed Resolution No. 871-71 (22 May 1972) for the separation of San Vicente from Puerto Princesa including the areas to be covered by the proposed municipality of San Vicente. The Municipal Council of Taytay also passed Resolution No. 48 (June 1972) apportioning some of its territories to San Vicente.

Subsequently, all the pertinent documents were submitted to Congress for legislation. Congressman Ramon V. Mitra, Jr. of Palawan presented a bill to Congress for the creation of the municipality of San Vicente. Mr. Dandal took the pains in exerting much effort, time and his own resources in making follow-ups at the Congress particularly at the office of Cong. Mitra until the bill was approved.

Thus, by virtue of Republic Act 5821 (21 June 1969), the municipality of San Vicente was created. However, it officially functioned only on 1 January 1972. Mayoralty election soon followed within that year. The first elected



mayor was Mayor Digno Pablico. He served from 1972 to 1979. Later, he was replaced by Mayor Daniel F. Yayen who was appointed by former President Ferdinand E. Marcos to serve an unexpired term. In January 1980, Mayor Yayen was elected to the same post to become the second elected mayor. The same thing happened to Mayor Antonio C. Alvarez who was appointed mayor in 1986 by then President Corazon C. Aquino and was elected mayor in 1988, and re-elected in 1992 and 1995.

Mayor Alejandro A. Villapando is the fourth elected mayor of the municipality in May 11, 1998 Election. However, he served for barely one (1) year and eleven (11) months (removed from office) due to administrative case filed by the Sanggunian thus, on June 16, 2000, Hon. Ramir R. Pablico, elected Vice Mayor, took oath and assumed the vacated position. He served from June 16, 2000 to June 30, 2001. In the National and Local Elections on May 11, 2001, Mayor Antonio V. Gonzales was elected and became the fifth mayor of the municipality. Three years after, he was reelected to the same post during the May 11, 2004 Elections. Presently, he is the Local Chief Executive who leads the administration and on his way to serving another term.

Topography Except for some isolated areas, the terrain of San Vicente is

generally rugged due to the vast Pagdanan and Central Ranges that traverse the entire municipality. Elevation range from zero to 703 meters, with Pinagmangalocan, Poblacion, San Vicente as the lowest part and a portion of



Pagdanan Range between New Villafria and Poblacion as the highest part. Around 18% of total area moderately sloping, undulating and rolling land (0-18 slope), while around 82% is steeply sloping to hilly and mountainous (18 slope and above).

Soil Properties There are four (4) major soil types in the municipality:

Sibuyan Silty Clay, Silty Clay Loam, Coron Clay Loam and Mountain Soil. Sibuyan Silty Clay and silty Clay Loam are found in land with 5 to 18 slope and in around 6% of total area (5,042 hectares) of the municipality. This type of soil can be cultivated safely with the application of good management practice. Drainage should be provided, however, in the case of Sibuyan Silty Clay. Coron Clay Loam, land that is good enough for occasional cultivation if handled with care but best suited for pasture, is found in areas with 18 to 30 slope and in around 7% of total area (6,114.54 hectares). Mountain soil, found in almost 85% of total area (69,316.85 hectares), dominates the soil type in the municipality. This type of soil can be used for grazing and forestry if handled with great care and proper arrangement. It is also suited for wildlife or recreation.

CBMS Results Demography Table I shows the demographic characteristics of San

Vicente, Palawan. The municipality has a total population of 21,962 in 2002 distributed over the ten (10) barangays with total households of 4,318 at an average household size of 5.09. Compared to previous survey in 2000, population and household both increased by 12.83% and 13.33% respectively while average household size remained at 5 persons per household. The average annual growth rate is 6.03. Population increase is due to natural fertility and migration. The three (3) leading barangays in terms of number of population are Poblacion the urban center of the municipality, followed by Port Barton and Caruray, these are barangays in the southern portion with having large expanse land area and with high economic opportunities, while the least populated barangays are Kemdeng, Sto. Nino and San Isidro. Meanwhile, household distribution among barangays follows the same trend as described in population distribution.

Table 2 displays population distribution according to gender. Apparently, there are more males than females at a ratio of 108.99 which means that there are 109 males than females. Barangay New Agutaya has almost equal ratio of males and females with 101.33.

Health and Infant mortality rate in the municipality is 1.31 this is much Nutrition below than the national level of 33%. Of the 10 barangays

surveyed, five (5) had infant mortality levels below the average national level. The biggest infant mortality incidence has been noted in Kemdeng, Binga and San Isidro. Although these areas have high mortality incidence, it is noted that there are five (5) barangays with no record of infant mortality. In general proportion it shows a low infant mortality rate. The substantial decrease of infant mortality rate from 2000 is a positive effect brought up by improving health services in the locality. In 2001, additional health personnel have been hired, provision of health facilities is also contributing factor including the yearly increase of appropriation for medical supplies. The distance of barangays Binga and Kemdeng to Poblacion where the Rural Health Unit is located also explains the incidence of mortality in these two barangays, however, San Isidro is a rare case since it is only 4 kms away from Poblacion.

Malnourished Over the two-year period 2000-2002, the proportion of Children malnourished children from 0-5 years old shows an abrupt

increase from 3.55% to 13.07%, which is over the provincial average of 5.31% and national average of 9.2%. However, since nutrition is monitored yearly, in 2003, the municipality has achieved one of the lowest Malnutrition Prevalence Rate (MPR) at 1.4%. In fact in the whole province San Vicente was declared as second lowest in MPR.

The proportion of malnourished children is relatively high in

the barangays Kemdeng (30.08), Poblacion (22.50), Binga (19.54) and New Agutaya (18.43). The barangay with the lowest MPR is Alimanguan at 4.10%

Water and Sanitation Access Based on Human Development Report of Province of to Palawan in 2000, access to safe water is defined by the



Safe Water presence and use of piped water, drilled, closed well. The first indicates the presence of community waterworks and systems, and the latter refer to the deepwells with electric or manual pumps.

The percentage of households with access to safe water rose from 58.24% in 2000 to 68.04% in 2002. this rate however is still below the national average of 78.40%. The proportion of households with access to safe drinking water is relatively high in the barangays of Binga, New Agutaya and San Isidro, while the lowest portion is observed in barangay Kemdeng at only 14.17%. Barangay with average and high proportion to safe drinking water have their own water system. The increase is attributed to the construction of water system in New Agutaya and San Isidro funded under the Palawan Tropical Forestry Protection Programme (PTFPP) which was completed in March 2001. During the survey, barangay Kemdeng has no existing water system. It was in the later part of 2002 when the water system project was completed in the said barangay. It is anticipated that households with access to safe water in the municipality will definitely increase in the next survey due to the operational of water District covering five (5) barangays namely Alimanguan, New Canipo, Poblacion, Caruray and New Agutaya where water system have been improved and installed in an effort of the LGU to provide and improve potable water to every household.

septic tank or other forms of concrete depository. Based in 2002 survey, only 57.60% of municipality’s

households have access to sanitary toilet, this is below the national level of 80.4%1. The figure decreased from 64.96% of 2000 survey. The most common type used in the municipality is the closed pit type found in 28.07 surveyed household, followed by water sealed facility with 23.44%.

A significant number of households (32.70% has no private

toilet facilities. They either make use public toilets or share facilities with some households. The decrease in percentage of households with access to sanitary toilets in 2002 is mainly due to increase in number of households which is approximately 11.76% without sanitary toilets. This is particularly noted in barangay Binga and Sto. Nino and in

1 1998 Annual Poverty Indicator Survey (NSO)



island sitios of Port Barton and Caruray. Kemdeng is the only barangay with percentage higher than the national average (80.31%). Further it is observed that the higher the number of households in a particular area, the lower the proportion and vice versa except in the case of Binga and Sto. Nino.

Good sanitation and clean environment promotes healthy

community. Absence of toilet facilities in many households has been a perennial problem in the health sector. Construction of public toilets is not enough to address the problem. The community’s negative attitude in some areas aggravates the situation despite the action taken by local authorities, more than anything else poverty is the main cause.

Security and Shelter Makeshift A household is considered living in makeshift housing when Housing its dwelling unit is constructed from salvaged or improvised

materials or in a unit where the materials are dilapidated or in substantial need of repair. Around 98.01% of the households in San Vicente did not live under makeshift housing conditions while the rest or 1.99% are makeshift dwellers. The ratio for makeshift housing is higher against the national average of 1.70%.

As to barangay breakdown New Agutaya has no

households living in makeshift homes while the lowest proportion of households not living in makeshift units is found in San Isidro and Sto. Nino.

On the other hand, households with high proportion is found

in Alimanguan as the highest with 5.82% followed by Port Barton at 3.35%.

Compared to previous survey, the rate lowered to 12.55%

from 14.54% in 2000. The significant decrease is a good indicator of poverty alleviations. This may also attributed to the undeniable fact that housing is a human basic need that should be provided.

lot. This figure is below the national average of 68.3%2. Table 6 shows the owner occupancy of the ten (10) barangays. Owner occupancy is significantly higher in San Isidro, New Agutaya and Kemdeng. These barangays have low population base in-migration as compared to other barangays, unlike in Port Barton, Caruray and Binga where households are an increasing trend, due to in-migration and potential economic opportunities. The proportion of households occupying their own house and lot is also low in Poblacion and Alimanguan.

Secondary School At the secondary level, where the base is the age group Participation 13-16 years, the ratio decreased by almost 12% from

previous survey of 81.96%. Though the 70.01% participation rate in secondary is higher compared to provincial average of 66.10%5, the rate is still below the attainable levels. The decline is attributed to various reasons may include the incapacity of parents to send their children in school. Other children at this age bracket are forced to work due to poverty instead of attending school.

There are organizations and cooperatives in 2000 which are

already inactive in 2002 and up to present. The local



government should further intensify its campaign in establishing, re-organizing and strengthening of cooperatives, associations and other organization at the barangay level and provide technical assistance for various livelihood activities suited in the barangay.

working. Compared to year 2000, employment increased by 5.83% from 77.13% to 82.96% which is good enough since the LGU under the present administration has put great efforts at providing employment through cooperatives. Barangay Sto. Nino has the highest employment rate with 92.5% while Barangay Kemdeng has the lowest at 75.41%. On underemployment, it is recorded at 74.21% or 4,656.

Since employment improved, there is therefore a decrease

Unemployment in unemployment over the two year-period. Unemployment was only 17.03% or 1,288 out of the total labor force of 7,562. It is 5.83% lower compared to year 2000 survey wherein unemployment rate was 22.86% or 1,614 unemployed persons.

Child Labor In 2002, there were twenty-seven (27) children 14 years old

afford subsistence needs such as food, clothing and shelter to support life. In the year 2000, only 30.97% have income greater than or equal to poverty threshold level (Php 11,735.00 per capita income). It slightly decreased to 26.47%. This may be caused by the increase in population and cost of living since in 2002, poverty threshold (per capita income) increased to Php 15,000 from Php 11,735. This is one of the major areas where the local government of San Vicente focuses its development projects and programs to attain poverty alleviation and self sufficiency for all households in the municipality. The LGU continues to go forward to pursuing this goal. Barangay Kemdeng may be lowest in employment rate but the income is relatively high considering the bigger proportion of households (51.18%) with income greater than



or equal to the poverty threshold level. Barangay Binga has the least number of households (5.03% or 15 hhs out of 298 total hhs) with income above the poverty line. There is no available data on food threshold for the year 2000 with which to compare. However, there is a bigger proportion (42,82) of households who have income greater than the food threshold level of Php 10,171 for 2002 compared to the number of households who have income greater than/equal to the poverty threshold.

Household with income greater/equal to poverty threshold level 2000- 30.97% Household with income greater/equal to poverty threshold level in 2002 - 26.47%

Since employment generation/poverty alleviation is a continuing goal of the municipality and programs were implemented to attain this goal, employment improved based on the survey though in 2002, only 26.47% of the households have income greater than or equal to poverty threshold level. Strengthening of cooperatives existing in the municipality was initiated by the present administration in an effort to help improve living condition of member households and to generate employment. About twenty-six (26) of these cooperatives are being assisted by the LGU and it caused an impact on employment.



SOCIAL SECTOR Health Botica sa Barangay Infant Mortality Rate for 2000 4.20 Infant Mortality Rate for 2002 1.31 As shown above, infant mortality rate decreased

by 2.89. It is expected to decrease further with the

implementation of “Botica sa Barangay” project. It is

to address health needs of households and for

prevention of illness or possible death that health

services are improved. Botica sa Barangay have

been established in most barangays to provide

access for medicines aside from the yearly

appropriation for medical supplies in all health

centers/stations.



Education Improvement of schools/Establishment of high school in Bgy. New Canipo Elementary:

Participation rate for 2000 3,693 88.41 Participation rate for 2002 4,102 85.76

Secondary: Participation rate for 2000 1,513 81.96 Participation rate for 2002 1,464 70.01

In both elementary and secondary levels of

education, there is a decrease in children’s school

participation. To help improve participation rate in

both levels, improvement of schools was

implemented. Worth mentioning is the establishment

of high school in Baraga New Canipo to

accommodate the ever increasing schoolchildren.

In response to these needs, electrification

projects were implemented in year 2003 in Barangays

Binga, New Canipo and Caruray as indicated in the

Annual Investment Plan 2003 to increase households

with access to electricity. This year 2004, households

with access to it increased in these barangays.

Almost 50% of households in the whole

municipality have now an access to electricity.



Water Water Systems Household with access to Water System in 2000

2,210 58.24

Household with access to Water System in 2002

2,938 68.04 The increase is attributed to the construction of Level

II water systems in New Agutaya and San Isidro

funded under the Palawan Tropical Forestry

Protection Programme (PTFPP) in 2001 while Bgy.

Kemdeng‘s Level II water system was completed in

2002. It is anticipated that households with access

to safe water in the municipality will increase to

75% due to the operation of Water Districts covering

five (5) barangays namely, Alimanguan, New Canipo,

Poblacion, Caruray and New Agutaya where water

systems had been improved and constructed in 2003.



CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) which has been implemented twice in the municipality of San Vicente was a useful data-gathering system. For the barangays and municipality as a whole, the data results, if accurate and updated become the bases for situational analysis where problems and needs of households in the particular area are identified. The CBMS data results also help the MPDO and the LGU in the preparation of Socio Economic Profile including maps of each barangay and consolidated into a municipal profile which in turn serves as a guide for different government level councils, planners and policy makers in the formulation of multi-sectoral development plans. CBMS makes planning and programming effective since projects and programs implemented will properly address the needs and problems based on the information/data gathered and if implemented regularly, can be a yardstick of development for the LGU. The LGU of San Vicente is willing to implement the system continuously and will try its best to improve the process in its level, only those who have undergone CBMS training shall conduct the survey and processing to make it faster and obtain more accurate data.



Municipal budgeting for the year 2005 is now on process in the municipality. The LGU is trying its best to accommodate CBMS and allocate funds for the purpose.
