HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The town of Masicu which might have derived its name from an exotic fruit tree called Sicu or Chico or as other historians wrote that it was named so because of the great abundance of water within the settlement, is situated on the eastern side of the capital city of San Fernando. Masicu used to include in its geographical jurisdiction some areas of San Fernando and Angeles before these metropolitan areas were organized as independent cities. The Spaniards romanticized the towns name to Mexico. Some people say that the difficulty of Spaniards in pronouncing its original name and their familiarity with the country of Mexico might have been the reason for renaming it as Mexico. Other people believe that the assignment of Catholic priests and soldiers from Mexico during the Spanish occupation of the Philippines might be responsible for renaming the town in honor of their beloved home country. When water transportation was still the primary means of travelling, the town of Mexico had a river port for passenger and cargo ships. It was then the primary trading center in Eastern Pampanga. The construction of good roads and railroads passing through San Fernando and Angeles diminished the commercial activities in Mexico. The town proper was transferred before the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution to its present location which is on the junction of the national road leading to the towns of Sta. Ana, Arayat and Candaba. One of many famous native sons of Mexico is General Rafael Maniago of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, a descendant of the valiant warlord Francisco Maniago who led the Kapampangans in revolting against Spain in 1660. This 17th century uprising was caused by the natural love of freedom of the Kapampangan, the frequent recruitment of Kapampangan men to cut timber for the construction of Spanish galleons and hatred for the vandala meaning the sale by force of native products particularly rice to the Spanish authorities at prices and payments determined by the Spaniards. Franscisco Maniago and his troops were later pacified with the intercession of an Augustinian friar, Fr. Andres de Salazar who conferred with Governor General Lara who agreed to meet the demands of the Kapampangan people which

included the general pardon to all rebels, payment of P14,000 to the Kapampangans as initial installment of the total government indebtedness amounting to P200,000 and the timber cutters were given time to attend to their domestic activities. Another Filipino hero who hailed from the town of Mexico was General Maximino Hizon who played an important role both during the Philippine Revolution against Spain and during the Filipino-American War. He served as supreme commander of all Filipino forces in Pampanga who fought the Spaniards and Americans.

The town of Mexico was not significantly damaged by the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo or by the annual flow of lahar in other towns. The good people of Mexico responded to the call of duty to care for calamity victims who lost their homes. Thousands of these people who lost their homes are now resettled in Mexico.

Fertility Indices Crude Birth Rate (CBR) Below is the summary of livebirths by sex in the municipality for the period of three years (1997-1999). For the past three years, the number of livebirths for female is greater that the number of livebirths of male. The ratios are 9 males for every 10 females for 1997, 8 males for every 10 females for 1998 and, 9 males for every 10 females for 1998.

Female 859 222 962

Crude birth rate is computed between the number of livebirths and number of individuals in a specific population. The value is expressed as number of livebirths per one thousand populations in a given year.

The municipality of Mexico has a 1,635 total number of livebirths for the year 1999 and a total population of 96,232.

37

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) Maternal mortality rate is the number if women of women who die as a result of child bearing in a given year per one thousand births in that year. For the period of 1999, no incident was reported on women who died due to complications of pregnancy or childbirth.

Causes of Mortality and Morbidity Ten Leading Causes of Mortality for the Last Three Years The table below shows the leading causes if mortality in the municipality for the period 1997 to 1999. Cardio-Vascular Diseases is the most common causes of mortality for the year 1997 (103 deaths) and 1998 (142 deaths). On the other hand, for the period 1999, out of ten leading causes of mortality, Myocardial Infarction is the most common causes for mortality (126 deaths). It is a disease that causes the inflammation of the heart muscle. It is most commonly caused by, or associated with, viral infection, although it can occur in connection with many other diseases, infections, and hypersensitivity states. In most cases it involves the entire heart. Symptoms usually are an aching pain over the heart, often associated with fever, rapid pulse, and often lowered blood pressure. If severe, the impaired function of the muscle may cause heart failure. In the municipality, the common ages infected with this disease are those in the age of 50 and over. Next recorded leading causes of mortality are cancer (40 deaths) and, pulmonary tuberculosis (23 deaths). Accidents (7 deaths) is the least of the ten leading causes of mortality in the municipality for the period 1999.

Note: For year 2001 Mortality rate is incomplete

Based on the previous statistics on different mortality rates on the year 1998 to 2000, there was a downward trend in the number of deaths among the general population of all causes, the number of infant deaths as well as maternal deaths related to pregnancy. Despite the lowering of life expectancy, total death have decline (in Mexico) which could not be attributed to a single factor since the causes of death have decline vary from natural to non-natural causes including a wide spectrum of fatal debilitating diseases.

43

With the decreases in infant and maternal death probably due to better education of the mother, during prenatal and childbirth period through the Maternal and Child Care Program of DOH rendered by health workers and other medical personnels. Other program of DOH includes expanded program on immunization, family planning, nutrition, etc.

Leading causes of mortality: five (5) year population

1) cardiovascular disease 2) cancer (all types) 3) cerebro vascular accidents 4) PTB 5) DM

Cardiovascular diseases remain to be the no. 1 cause of death for the past three (3) years and expected to remain due to various risk factors such as dietary habits (high fats) changing lifestyles (sedentary) chronic smoking, obesity at an early age, lack of necessary exercises etc.

Cancer remains consistent at rank 2 for the past years can be expected to remain at its position since many cancers remain to be undiagnosed till at its advance stages despite the media effort on how to screen at an early stage like breast cancer etc.

44

Leading Causes of Morbidity: Five (5) year projections

1) ARI 2) Hypertension 3) Diarrhea 4) Skin diseases 5) Musculo skeletal disorders

Acute respiratory infection, is by far the most common illness experience among the pediatrics population. Mainly cause by a viral infection, which is easily transferred to other persons and secondarily with a bacterial infection, which prolongs the signs and symptoms. This is due mainly to crowding of family members, seasonal predilection, low body resistance sue to poverty and malnutrition, etc.

Hypertension remains to be at rank number 2 in addition to its genetic predisposition, risk factors, include dietary habits, high in salts and fats, obesity, lack of exercise, lack of hypertensive medicines for maintenance due to high cost and poverty, etc.

Diarrhea at top three position partly due to contamination of water sources specially with amoeba which presents with abdominal pain and watery to semi form stool. However, incidents could probably greatly lessen with the implementation with the proposed Mexico Water District as their safe water source of drinking.

Skin diseases at top 4 position due to scabies, fungal infections remain high due to lack of therapeutic ointments like anti-fungals, scabicides, high cost of these ointments, etc.

45

Musculo-skeletal diseases remains to be one among the most common disease among the geriatic population exemplified by osteoarthritis, gouly arthritis, low back pain, myalgia, osteoporosis, etc.

Determination of Development Needs Manpower Requirement for Rural Health Units

Table 4.9 shows the minimum required medical manpower for the period 1999 to 2005 computed based on the staffing patter on rural health units required by laws. The basic standard in RHU personnel population are one municipal health officer, one public health nurse and one rural sanitary inspector for every 20,000 population; and; one rural health mid-wife per 5,000 population.

52

For the year 1999, the municipality needs an additional 1 municipal health officer, 1 public health nurse and 2 rural sanitary inspectors. There is a sufficient number of midwives for the year 1999 but requires an additional by the year 2004.

The projected number of deaths for the period of 1999 to 2005 is computed based on the crude death rate and projected population of the municipality. On the other hand, the projected area requirement for burial grounds is computed based on the number of projected deaths for the period and the assumed participation rate of 60% multiplied by the minimum pot size of each burial ground measuring 1 x 2.44 meters. Based on the computation, there will be a projected death in the municipality of approximately 2, 406 deaths. Out of this number of deaths, the projected area required for burial grounds is 3,522 square meters for the period 1999 to 2005.

The bulk of income source of the municipal of Mexico comes from the BIR allotments. It makes up for more than 86.7 percent of its municipal revenues (Table 6.2). The other main income sources are local taxes, operating and service income and real property tax. All three income categories are rising rapidly indicating their potential as a sustaining source of income for the municipality. The rise in current year property taxes (RPT) could mean efficiency in tax collection. At the same time, the decrease in previous year RPT and penalties could mean fewer delinquents payees.
