Pualas-Validated-Community-Profile Final For Printing June26 - PDF

Chapter I
BRIEF OVERVIEW
This community profile is an output of CD 197 A (Community Immersion), one

of the four apprenticeship subjects under the practicum program of the Bachelor of
Science in Community Development, College of Public Affairs, Mindanao State
University, Marawi City. For the Second Semester, AY 2017-2018, the Department
partnered with the Municipal Government of Tubod, Lanao del Norte and eleven of its
barangays (Pigcarangan, Bulod, Kalilangan, Taden, Bualan, Palao, Candis, Licapao,
Sto. Niño, Pinpin and Pualas). The other three (3) apprenticeship courses are CD 197
B (Community Organizing and Mobilization), CD 197 C (Community Training), and
197 D (Community Project Development and Management). The student interns
grouped in pairs (a Cebuano and non-Cebuano speaking) are required to stay in their
assigned barangays for four (4) months (specifically last February to May 2018) or a
whole semester in order to live out and actually experience their course in a real
community setting.
For Barangay Pualas, two female students, Princess Kanna Gutierrez, a

Cebuano-speaking and Johainah Ebrahim, a Maranao and non-Cebuano speaking
were assigned in the barangay.
A. PURPOSE OF THE PROFILING ACTIVITY
The Department has made it its mission not only to provide a relevant, sound
and rich community development training for its students but also to leave behind a
validated baseline socio-economic profile and an updated spot map with its partner
barangays. This document is a necessary basis in the formulation of activity/project
interventions that will be appreciated and valued by the community because they truly
and effectively respond to existing gaps, needs and problems obtaining in the
barangay.

Research Methodology
Data for the profile were collected through several sources: secondary data
taken from the available barangay development plan and other information from the
Barangay Secretary and the Municipal Planning and Development Office. Primary
data were gathered from observations during immersion, key informant interviews and
house-to-house survey. A complete enumeration of all households as represented by
either household heads or their spouses, was the norm, however, it was not attained
due to several reasons, among them: unavailability of the household head or their
spouse during the data collection period or refusal to be interviewed.
The instrument used for the survey was formulated by the faculty supervisor
based on the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) Instrument The
questionnaire consists of 8 parts, namely:
1. Historical Background of the Barangay
2. Physical and Geographic Characteristics
3. Socio-Demographic Household Profile
4. Living Conditions
5. Economic Data
6. Agriculture Data
7. Aquaculture Data
8. Community Participation
9. General Questions
10. Perception of Disasters and LGU Disaster Preparedness
Analysis was done through the use of descriptive statistics presented in

frequency and percentage distribution tables and pie charts. An updated spot map of
the barangay was also done. The profile and the spot map were presented for
comments and accepted during a community validation meeting held at the Pualas
Multi-Purpose Hall on March 24, 2018

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BARANGAY
A. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
This part of the profile presents data collected through secondary sources and
key informant interviews that trace the early beginnings of the community.
1. How the Barangay Got Its Name
In 1924, Barangay Pualas was originally occupied by Muslims. They

survived through farming. They practiced “kaingin”. Thus, the barangay was
named Pualas which means “cut native/pioneering trees for kaingin”. As the
land area is rocky or stony, these Muslim settlers sold the lands they occupied
and fled back to the southern part of Lanao, presently known as the Province
of Lanao del Sur.
In 1995, as Tubod was gaining its identity to become a municipality,

Barangay Pualas, having a population of 620 with 120 households was
included as a regular barangay. (Source: Barangay Profile 2010)

313 or 75.24% used strong materials. A strong material usually refers to G.I
sheets. There were 74 or 17.79% of them who used light roofing materials
usually “nipa shingles”. On the other hand, 20 or 4.81% of them used both
(strong and light materials) but strong materials were dominant. Only 9 or

4. Status of House and Lot Occupancy
The table below shows the status of house and lot occupancy of the
respondents. Data shows that a great majority (378 out of 416) of the total
households interviewed said that they owned the house they are living in.
Twenty-five (25) respondents were living with their parents and/or relatives or
friends which is considered as extended family. The rest of the status of
occupancy are presented in Table 13. There were 3 who said they were
allowed to use the house for free while 5 said they were tenants living in the
house of their landlords.
With regards to the home lot, more than one half of the respondents
reported that they use the lot for free being tenants. For those who were not
tenants, they build their houses on a land that is not theirs but with consent of
the owners as long as they will not build concrete houses. Perhaps this is also
the reason why many of the houses in the barangay use light walling materials.
This kind of situation does not provide security to the residents in the barangay.

The main fuel used for cooking in the barangay was wood. Only 34
households used LPG while a much smaller number (14) used electricity for
cooking. Data implies that the traditional way of cooking using wood as fuel is
still common. This maybe because the barangay is primarily agricultural and
there is an abundance of wood for fuel.

8. Manner of Solid Waste Disposal
In order to get information about the manner of solid waste management

of the barangay, the respondents were asked what they usually do with their
solid wastes and garbage.
Table below shows the summary of their responses. Most of the

respondents said that they usually burn their garbage, but the garbage that they
Page | 18
burned are usually leaves and little twigs. There was also a significant number
(117 out of 416) of respondents who just throw their garbage and trash
anywhere, which is not good for the environment and for the health of the
people. Out of 416 households only three (3) sold their garbage or the
recyclables but during the community validation, majority of the participants
practice selling bottles and tin cans, however, they did not report it as a waste
management practice because those that can be sold were not considered
waste.

majority of the households has an estimated household income per month of
5,000php and below which is relatively small amount. Only 28 respondents
reported to have an estimated monthly income above 20,000php. The lowest
monthly income reported was 500php, the highest was 65,000php while
average income was 5,193php. It appears that majority of the households have
low monthly incomes which fall below poverty line. It is also consistent to the
kind of jobs they have.

4. Membership by Type of CBO
There were 6 community-based organizations identified by the

respondents to be operating in Barangay Pualas. Among these 6 organizations,
the Women’s Organization has the most number of members with 122. This is
presumably because 4Ps beneficiaries are required to be members. It is closely
followed by the Senior Citizen with 100. It seems that only the youth sector is
not organized

H. GENERAL QUESTIONS
1. Problems/Issues/Concerns by Purok
The top three (3) identified problems by Purok during the survey were:
1. Insufficient Water Supply
2. Lack of good farm to market road
3. Lack of livelihood
Majority of the people in the barangay were having a hard time with their
water supply because they were far from the source of water. It was a burden
particularly for those in Puroks 2 and 5 whose main source of water is spring.
As of this writing, however, this problem is already being addressed by the
barangay officials.
The second identified problem was the bad situation of their roads. The
residents find it very hard to travel and transport their products because of the
very rocky and uneven roads. There were means of transportation available
but the bad condition of the roads make travel dangerous especially during
rainy season and naturally the fare is quite costly. Currently there are several
projects that are on-going to address this need.
The third identified problem was the lack of livelihood. A significant

number of families in the barangay live below the poverty line. They are having
Page | 26
a hard time sustaining their daily needs and due to low educational attainment
they cannot find jobs that will suit to them. Refer to the table below.

table below shows that 29 respondents claimed that they have been victims of
kawat especially fighting cocks. Two experienced being shot with gun and one

2. Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4 Ps) Membership
Among the 416 households surveyed in barangay Pualas, 128 claimed

that they were beneficiaries of 4Ps; the remaining 288 were not. Perhaps those
who were not beneficiaries were not qualified. Among the qualifications for the
program spelled out in 4Ps guidebook are the following;
1. May maliit na buwanang kita na hindi sapat sa kinakailangan para
mabuhay.
2. May batang edad 0-18 o may buntis sa tahanan sa panahon ng
paglista sa programa
3. Sumang-ayon na tuparin ang mga tungkulin o kundisyon sa
programa.

3. Phil Health Membership
Two hundred twelve (212) out of 243 residents have Philhealth while the
remaining 31 do not have. The number of respondents without PhilHealth is
significant considering that the National Government subsidizes those who
Page | 28
cannot afford through different programs, among them Senior Citizens and
4Ps.
With regards to type of Philhealth membership, table below shows that
243 have a government sponsored type categorized as: Indigent, Senior
Citizen and sponsored by Gov. Khalid Dimaporo. Only 50 were paying
contributions either as employees or individually paying.

J PERCEPTION ON DISASTER AND READINESS OF LGU
1. Actions Done during Typhoon Vinta
The table below shows the things that the Barangay Local Government
Unit, Municipal Local Government Unit and the National government have done
during the recent Typhoon Vinta experienced by the Municipality of Tubod and
other nearby municipalities. Majority of the people said that all these three
governing bodies were able to respond favorably when the typhoon happened.
However, they said the barangay must have its vehicle in order to readily
respond in times of disaster and calamities.

Chapter III
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATION
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
There were 416 respondents surveyed in this study. Most of the respondents
were women, jobless and just stay home watching over their children. Most of their
husbands were tricycle drivers, farmers, and farm laborer, jobs which were seasonal
and low paying. In addition, most of the population have secondary education. There
were also substantial number of residents who have reached college and/or have
completed college degrees. Majority of the population trace their ethnicity to the
Visayas, notably Siquijor, Cebu and Bohol.
Most of the respondents owned the house they are living in but not the lot
although they were allowed by the owner to build their houses for free as long as these
are made of light materials. Majority of the respondents have water-sealed toilets; their
main source of drinking water is spring notably in Puroks 2 and 5. The Level 3 water
system is not accessible to these 2 puroks. For electricity, however, almost all of the
households have connections. Burning was the main manner of garbage disposal
which is harmful to the environment. There were still 30 households without toilets
usually found in Purok 4. Most of the toilets in the barangay were sanitary.
Economically, there is a low labor force participation. Many do not have work,
in addition, the nature of their work does not earn much. In terms of income, most of
the household fall below the poverty line. The major agricultural crops raised were
coconut and banana. Coconut was primarily sold as copra which price is not stable.
Bananas were also bought by compradors who also dictate the price.
The water connection, road, and lack of livelihood are the most common needs
or problems cited by the respondents. Roads in Puroks 2 and 4 otherwise known as
Sitio Pagang were lubak-lubak. However, at the time of writing the roads and water
problems were already being addressed. The only problem not yet addressed is low
income.
Page | 31
More than half of the respondents were members of 4P’s and were PhilHealth
members.
When it comes to disaster preparedness of the Local Government Unit, there

were perceived weaknesses in terms of responding such as what happened during
Typhoon Vinta. These were the lack of vehicles and lack of training of ERU personnel.
Households also prepare emergency kits in case of calamities.
CONCLUSION
Barangay Pualas is an agricultural barangay whose main products are coconut,

banana and corn. However, majority of the farmers were share tenants who could not
make decisions on the farms they are cultivating. In addition, In addition, there was no
value-added to these agricultural crops hence they could not demand a high price and
are subject to the prices set by compradors.
Although the barangay provides basic services, facilities and infrastructures to

the community, there is still a need to mobilize the residents to take active part in
community activities and get involved in community-based organizations. It would be
a good thing if the community will become active partners to an equally active
barangay leadership. There appears to be a need also for livelihood skills trainings
and enterprises to alleviate the low economic condition of the community.
RECOMMENDATION
In the light of the above discussions, the following are recommended to help
the community improve the quality of life of its residents:
1) To reduce poverty incidence among households, livelihood programs for the

community through their organizations, and skills enhancement activities. Income-
generating projects that would make use of locally available resources, such as
coconut and banana would be beneficial.
Page | 32
2) To address the problem of solid waste, the barangay should provide for
garbage collection. There is also a need for environmental awareness activities to
enhance the understanding of the community in taking care of their environment.
3) For more effective disaster response, a new vehicle should be acquired to
supplement present facilities of the barangay.
4) To mobilize the community to become effective and empowered partners of
the barangay, there is a need to strengthen existing community-based organizations
and to organize the youth sector especially with the revival of the Sangguniang
Kabataan. This will not only help the youth avoid the usual problems confronting out-
of-school, but will also make them productive members of the community.
