 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF CAWAYAN, MASBATE
CY: 2019

Brief History:

The people of Cebu and Leyte were the first settlers near the mouth of Cawayan River and named the
settlement of Corocawayan. The name originated from a plant that resembles the bamboo that thrived
abundantly along the riverbanks. In 1937, it was created into a barrio under the municipality of Milagros
it's named was then shortened into Cawayan.

Cawayan was created into a municipality on August 27, 1949, by virtue of an Executive Order No. 662
through Resolution No 1. Series of 1949 by the local government under the administration of the late
honorable Mayor Tomas Rivera.

The economy of Cawayan had improved from year to year. Agricultural and aquatic products contributed
a lot to the local economy. It was in the latter part of the ’90s when the economy had tremendously
boomed. Among its varied aqua-marine products, the municipality is gifted with one unique shell which
being exported worldwide, known as the scallop, locally known as Ticab, throughout the world, it could
only be found in the seas of this municipality and partly in the municipality of Placer, Masbate.
Geographical Location:

Municipality of Cawayan is located in the Southwestern part of the mainland Masbate. It is between 123
degrees 46 minutes East of Longitude and 11 degrees and 56 minutes North of latitude. It is bounded on
the East by the Municipalities of Palanas and Placer, and on the west by Municipality of Milagros, on the
North by Municipality of Uson and on the South the marine rich Asid Gulf of the Visayan Sea which
separates the Municipality from Panay Island.

Land Area and Political Subdivision:

Politically, Cawayan was divided into 37 barangays. The Municipality has a total land area of 25,923.0976
hectares based on the records of the Municipal Assessor’s Office which is 7% of the total provincial land
area of Masbate. Among the municipalities of the province, the municipality ranks fourth in terms of the
land area more than the size of the capital City of Masbate.

Land Classification:

The Municipality of Cawayan has land classification consisting of Alienable and Disposable Lands which
occupy about 196.67 sq.km., and Forest lands occupying the remaining 106.09 sq.kms. Alienable and
Disposable lands consist of agricultural areas, build-up areas, beach sand, and inland water bodies.
Forestlands consist of timberlands, mangrove reserves, and inland water bodies.

Physiography and Slope:

The common surface configuration of the locality ranges from level to slightly undulating and rolling to
moderate hilly. Cawayan is a vast tract of plains and rolling hills but the majority is plain to lowland. The
municipality’s highest peak is at the steep and cliff rocky mountain at Barangay Begia and Calumpang with
an elevation of 100 to 110 meters above mean sea level (AMSL). The lowest area is found at the coastal

2
portion of Barangay Divisoria, Poblacion, Mahayahay, Begia, Recodo, Guiom, Pin-as, Malbug, and all of
the island barangays.

The general direction of the elevation is from the southwest coast to the eastern and northern portion
which are level nearly level, gently sloping to rolling and hilly. About 90% of the area is favourable to
agriculture and urban development. The undulating and hilly terrain in the interior part of the municipality
makes the area moderately susceptible to erosion. However, the occurrence of soil erosion is minimized
by the presence of grassland and vegetation in the mid-portion of the municipality.

Soil Composition:

Cawayan has five types of soil namely: Ubay clay steep phase, Ubay sandy loam, Hydrosol, Cataingan clay,
and Sevilla clay. The most dominant type is Ubay clay series covering 85% stretching from the northern
portion, near Del Carmen, Uson to the border of the Municipality of Placer.

Geologic Conditions:

The municipality is reflective of the various geologic formations of the Masbate Island basins which is
consist largely of meta-sedimentary rocks such as argillite, quartzite and marbles. Such geologic formation
provides a relatively stable aquifer of groundwater for domestic use.

Mineral Potential:

The municipality has abundant deposits of non-metallic minerals consisting of phosphate rock/limestone
deposit and Guano. These minerals can be found in some parts of Cawayan.

Climate and Rainfall:

Like mainland Masbate, the area belongs to type III climate which characterized by no very pronounce
maximum rain period with dry season starting in the later of January to early part of May. The annual

3
rainfall ranges from 2,220mm to 2,500mm and its influence by Southwest Monsoon (Habagat), inter-
tropical convergence zone (ITCZ). However, the climate condition has been subjected to extreme
abnormalities due to global warming.

Hydrogeology:

Surface water comes from tribute springs, creeks, and rivers. There are five major rivers found in the
municipality, the Cawayan River, Guiom River, Begia River, Coco River, and Malbug River. Other minor
rivers are the Cabayugan River, Maguilaguin River and Madang River. Except the Cawayan River, all rivers
are situated to the west of the municipality. Unfortunately, these rivers cannot be tapped as a source of
irrigation or domestic because of their brackish water. These rivers also serve as a natural drainage of the
municipality during heavy precipitations.

Coastal Resources:

The municipality has a municipal water within the Asid Gulf, Visayan Sea and Cawayan Bay. Mangrove
covers an area of about 1,870 hectares and a wilderness are in Naro and Chico Islands covering 98
hectares. Shoreline areas have potentials for tourism, notably the coastline of Begia, Recodo, Mahayahay,
and Cabayugan.

However, coastal zone is experiencing pressures from unregulated settlements. Shanties and houses
made of nipa, coco lumber and cogon grass mushroomed along the coastline, rivers, within the swamps,
mangrove, and nipa areas.

Existing Land Use

The general land use plan refers to the proposed land use within the entire area of the
Municipality of Cawayan covering 25,923.0976 hectares. The existing general land use pattern is
characterized by the dominance of agricultural lands as this occupies 63% of the total land area. This are
followed by the Grassland and Watershed (23.57%), Mangrove and Swamps (6.18%), Offshore land
(5.46%) and Built-up (1.40%) areas. Presently, there is no forest area.

The NIPAS area, classified as wilderness area, comprised 96.0 has. while NPAAD land is 29,747.85
has. The (NPAAD) consist of the “most efficient” agricultural lands which are the traditional sources of
food and cash crops. These are the most stable crop lands and they can be grown to wide range of crops
with minimum to moderate levels of farm management requirements. These include: 1) all irrigated and
potentially irrigable land; 2) all alluvial plains that are highly suitable for agricultural production and/or
can be devoted to food production, as determined by BSWM; 3) all sustainable lands that are traditional
sources of food; 4) all cropland that supports the existing economies of scale of production required to
sustain the economic viability of existing agricultural infrastructure and agro-based enterprises in the
municipality; 5) all productive land in low-calamity risk areas that rare suitable for the production of
economic trees and other cash crops; and 6) all agricultural lands that are ecologically fragile and whose
conversion will result in severe environmental problems.

The urban land use areas are located in the built-up areas. This are classified into Commercial (10
has.) Residential (374 has.), Institutional (40 has.) and Infrastructure and Utilities (0.40 has.). There is no
considered areas for industrial and Parks and Playground.

 Existing Infrastructure
Transportation:

There is an existing conveyance facilities plying in and out of the municipality. A considerable number of
vehicles are in good condition that convey passengers and cargoes from Cawayan to Masbate City and
vice-versa. Air-con buses and jeepneys are plying in distant route and tricycles and single motorcycles are
mainly used for inter-barangay travels. Passengers and cargoes on top load are a common sight on
jeepneys. During rainy season roads are slippery and hardly accessible.

Likewise, some barangays are not accessible from the Poblacion. The only means to reach them is through
the use of carabao or hiking in the slippery stony trails. Based on 1 kilometer-for every 100 hectares, it
was found out that Cawayan has insufficient number of roads. The existing road length is below the
required 302.08 kms. Moreover, some bridges are made of wood, which needs upgrading.

Motorized pump boats and smaller sea vessels are common means of conveyance as water
transportation. These water transports are bound to and from Cawayan, Placer, Esperanza, Pio V. Corpus
and Hagnaya in Cebu and some municipalities of Panay Island. Smaller ones are used to for sea travel from
and to Cawayan and neighbouring barangays. A 30 lm rock causeway at barangay Mahayahay for the
mean time serve as the anchorage and loading facility of light passenger and cargo vessels. Two inter-
island vessels regularly travel for about 4-5 hours trip to Cebu and vice versa.

Telecommunication Facilities:

Major Telecommunication Companies like Globe Telecom and Smart Communication operate in the
Municipality of Cawayan, they serve almost 75% of the total Households.

Power Supply:

The Masbate Electric Cooperative (MASELCO) which already supplies power to many of the municipality,
only the barangays along or near the national highway where the power lines are installed are reached by
the power supply. NAPOCOR supplies power in the island barangays. A total of 21 barangays already
energized.

Water Supply:

The surface area comes from springs, rivers, streams and creeks. But they are yet to be tapped
and developed for agricultural purposes like irrigation and domestic uses like drinking and washing.

The municipality of Cawayan has a Level III Water Supply System to supply the needs of the people
specially the barangays of Pobablacion, Divisoria and Mahayahay. Water needs of the people of Cawayan
come from a number of sources like springs, rivers, rain, pumps, artesian wells, open dug wells or water
peddlers.

The 1999 NSO report indicates that majority of the people on open dug wells. Out of 7,489
households, 85% make use of it as their source of domestic supply. Some source their water supply from
artesian wells and pumps; they comprise 319 (4.26%) of the total households. Others who consist of
347(4.99%) of the households get their water supply from the peddlers who sell at P3.00- P5.00 per 20-
liter container. The residents of barangay Mahayahay, for instance depend on the water peddlers for their

9
water needs until now. The rest like the 48 households (0.64%) rely on other sources like rivers, spring
and rain water for their drinking needs.

However, the above sources of water supply are not always potable, especially during heavy rains
when polluted rainwater seeps into these wells or water containers. According to the 1995 Health and
Nutrition Situation Report of the province, out of 6,947 total households in the municipality, only 45%
have access to save water. It is reported that during rainy season water-borne diseases like dysentery,
parasitism, diarrhea and amoebic dysentery are rampant. Almost all of the barangays are affected.

The Poblacion is primarily most affected. Since its water supply comes from various unreliable
sources, there is an urgent demand to develop and implement a waterworks system to address the
problem of potable water supply. The proposed water system will be in three (3) barangays of Poblacion,
Divisoria and Mahayahay.

Waste Management:

The Municipality of Cawayan is operating an open dump site in Sitio Panorama, Poblacion with an area of
1 hectare in about 1.5 km from the urban areas. Estimated quantity of waste is around 3 tons per day,
source of the total waste is about 70% of the total number of households coming from Urban areas
excluding island barangays.

Roads:

Roads are maintained mostly by the LGU specifically those that are considered municipal and barangay
roads. Garbage collection is generally done by the LGU and it is brought to the open dumpsite. LGU has
been distributing toilet bowls which somehow has helped in solving the problem on sanitation particularly
in poor areas. Water, sanitation and hygiene facilities already addressed by the Rural Health Unit.

Health:

The Rural Health Unit of Cawayan renders health services to out-patients, primary health care and
maternal health care. Barangay Health Stations also dispenses basic health care, like maternal and
childcare, immunizations, treatment of simple medical conditions, nutrition, family planning, sanitary
health care, emergency treatment and health education.

Health Facilities:

The RHU Building is located in Poblacion, beside Cawayan District Hospital, there are also 34 Barangay
Health Stations and 20 Birthing Clinics all over the Municipality manned by well-trained municipal health
personnel and barangay health workers.

Major Economic Activities:

Considering its overall environment, agriculture is a promising industry in Cawayan. There is the presence
of favourable biophysical characteristics and large area potential for agricultural development. Based on
the records of the Office of the Municipal Agriculturist, the area devoted to agriculture is 13,887.45 has.
which is 45% of the total land area. Crop production comprises 58% and the rest are pasture areas. The

12
temporary crops occupy 5,618 hectares classified into Rice (1,250 has.), Corn (3,348 has.), Root crops (810
has.), Vegetables (50 has.) and legumes (160 has.) Permanent crops occupy 2,444.45 hectares divided
between coconut (1,617 has.) and Fruit Trees/Orchard (827.45 has.).

The municipality of Cawayan is also covered by the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program. There are
a total of 5,744.8359 hectares CARP able lands. These are categorized as Voluntary Offer for Sales
(1,240.4937 has.), Voluntary Land Transfer (137.5526 has.) Compulsory Acquisition (1,100.6112 has.) and
GOL/KKK-NLSF (3,266.1784 has.).

The potential area of crop production of Cawayan is actually bigger. Based on the Provincial Physical
Framework Plan (1999) report, the total production land of Cawayan is estimated to be 24,075 has. where
22,240 has. (92%) are under-used and 1,100 has. (5%) have potential for optimum yield and no area
considered as over-used land. Land suitable to irrigated rice and corn are actually used for fishpond, other
cultivated crops, trees and vines and pasture areas. These are considered as development opportunity
areas.

Among the cultivated crops, corn is considered the most important staple food crop. With the
introduction of hybrid varieties, the production of white corn had tremendously increased from 2 tons to
5 tons per hectare. Another important crop is coconut. It provided an annual copra production of about
490 MT.

The people also engaged in livestock and poultry production particularly cattle, an animal stock for which
the municipality and the province is noted for. With the large area of pasture lands, cattle are raised quite
extensively. Based on 1998 data, there were 11 livestock farms in Cawayan. These farms have an
aggregate area 5,825 hectares spread in the barangays of Mactan, Madbad, Panan-awan, Pin-as, Pulot,
San Jose, Palobandera and Libertad.

Considering that Cawayan faces a great part of the marine-rich fishing grounds of Asid Gulf, Visayan Sea
and Cawayan Bay, fishing is a major industry. Cawayan is one of the major fishing municipalities of the
province of Masbate. Its major landing centers are located in Peña Island, Begia, Gilotongan and Recodo
while the minor landing centers in Divisoria, Dalipi and Pin-as.

People living along the coastline and in the island barangays also engage in highly productive fishing. This
offshore or municipal fishing activity contributes the greatest yield in fish production. Nine (9) coastal
barangays and more than 8 islands in the municipality are potential fishing grounds in which live corals,
covering large percentage of the fishing areas. Sometime though, the fish catch was reduced due to the
intrusion of some trawlers, particularly the Taiwanese deep-sea fishing vessels.

Aside from sea-fishing activities, people also engage in fishpond operations. Swamps and marshes have
been converted to fishponds. Many of them are found along rivers and inland waters. These fishing
activities are another source of income and not only for the fishermen but also the municipality, as well.
