Barangay Bayombon 2005-2006 Socio-Economic Profile 1

Historical Background

Bayombon originated from the term Bayong and Bong. Bayong is a large buri bag, where farmers place the things they bought from Malinta during the market days. Bong is nickname of endearment for a boy. “Daraha tabi an bayong, Bong”, or please bring the bag, Bong. Later it evolved into “Bayonbong” and then “Bayombon”

Another legend about the name

Bayombon has it that it was after the name “baybay sa bobon” which refers to the sand in the well.

The third account of how this barangay got its name was according to the old folks of the barrio. The story goes this way. Long time ago, there was a couple whose means of living was only to till the land. They’re depending food from their harvest .Their basic necessities are bought out of the income from the sales of their produce but sometimes they barter a portion of their harvest from other farmers. This couple was known for their hospitality and helping hand to others who have less. One day, while husband and wife were busy weeding out and cultivating the portion of corn land to be ready for the onset of rainy days, they noticed a boy walking towards them. From the distance, the boy shouted at them to get the “Bayong” from him. To their surprise, the wife run across and said what was it? The boy then was hastened to respond that there were dry goods inside the “Bayong.” The husband asked the boy, who gave you this? The boy smiled and replied, its your cousin Mang Peping Bajar and “Boy” is my nickname. So from that time on whenever the couple visited their farm they always shouted the word “Bayombong” to combat the heat of the sun. By shouting that word, they feel that the burden of the days work was lessened. It was eventually became their byword anywhere they go. Surprisingly this was how the place got its name. The Barangay was established in 1895 by the following families: Bacar, Torres, Guadayo, Andaya, Danao, Recto, Nerza, Francisco and Manlapaz.

Political Subdivision Barangay Bayombon is an upland barangay composed of seven (7) puroks namely: Purok I-Avocado, Purok II- Gumamela, Purok III- Saging, Purok IV- Baduyaan, Purok V- Pili, Purok VI- Crossing Santol and Purok VII- XYC. Before Purok Baduyaan was a sitio until the present barangay council convert it to Purok IV. Each purok is represented and administered by assigned councilors and purok president in all barangay governance.

Natural Characteristics: (Physiography and Slope) The barangay has a general configuration of undulating to rolling slopes of about 950 hectares of its total land area and small portion of hilly to mountainous.

Soil The soil type covering the barangay is generally Ubay Clay-Steep Phase. There are minimal areas enveloped by Bolinao Clay and Himayangan Sandy Clay Loam. Ubay Clay-Steep Phase constitute almost 750 hectares of their total land area. It is characterized by cogonal areas which are roughly rolling, hilly and mountainous. It is severely eroded with plenty of igneous and dolomitic rock boulders as outcrops. The area is well dissected with deep ravines, intermittent rivers and creeks. In addition, the area should always be under thick vegetal cover throughout the year to safeguard soil and moisture losses, and at the same time to increase the organic matter of the soil.

Bolinao and Himayangan Sandy Clay Loam soil provides good foothold for crops. Hydrogeology

Thus, foremost use of Bayombon land would still be on agricultural activities having a vast area suitable to grow some crops, vegetables and fruit trees. Farm-to-market road are being improved to achieve a more efficient and productive transfer of farm goods from the producer at the upland to consumer at the poblacion. This ensures better income and sustain essential needs of the barangay populace. Some portion of the land is utilize for infrastructure and facilities development. With these foreseeable potentials, quality of life will be achieved.

POVERTY PROFILE


The result of CBMS showed the top five (5) Minimum Basic Needs of Barangay Bayombon comprising of: 1) households with members (13-16years old)not in highschool; 2) households with no access to safe water; 3) household with income below poverty thresholdl; 4) household with no access to sanitary toilet; 5) households with income below food threshold.

Summary of Issues/Concerns and Challenges

1. On proportion of households with no access to sanitary toilet facilities.

Almost 63% or 312 households do not have sanitary toilet. This means that there is an indiscriminate dumping of human waste anywhere which may pose hazard to the health condition of the populace. In view of this, the barangay may allocate funds for this problem so that public or a private toilet be constructed with common septic tank.

2. Proportion of household with income less than the poverty

threshold.

Encourage investors in the barangay to open new livelihood opportunities that will provide the residents job that will give them a permanent monthly income.

Provide capital for food processing projects and other small scale business.

Skills enhancement training for residents in preparation for job opportunities such as welders, mechanics, and other related works.

Intensification of seeds and animal dispersal with fertilizer and agricultural equipment.

3. Proportion of children 13-16 years old not in high school.

Construction of additional classrooms for high school.

Grant scholarship to poor but deserving students.

4. Proportion of households with no access to safe water.

Construction of Level II water project (communal faucet) should be implemented to cover the whole barangay. Such project will reduce the contamination of water source.

Chlorination of open dug well as well as deep or shallow well.

Periodic monitoring of water source.


5. Other social concern that should be given priority:

Health- upgrade health facilities and provide additional health equipment to provide better health care services to those in need. Also increase in the allotment for medicines should be included in the budget of the barangay.

Social Welfare- there is a need to construct an additional day care center to cater children 3-6 years old specifically in Purok I. Moreover, day care centers should be given budget for the provision of educational materials to for better comprehension and familiarization of the pre-school children. For the vulnerable groups, mutual aid system should be given.

6. Acquisition of an additional barangay site that is located away from

the coastal area for its growing population.

In line with the poverty reduction program of the city government, barangay Bayombon is likewise working hard to reduce poverty among its people. Farmers are taking advantage of the said program in order to improve their annual production. The distribution of seedlings, farm inputs, machineries, dispersal of working animals and animal raising projects

helped the farmers in the increase of family income. Livelihood assistance were extended to families who are engaged in trading goods.

The result of 2003 MBN survey revealed all households with children lower that 15 years old are contributing to family income, while 205 household (60%) have no sanitary toilet. On the other hand, 52%

of the households have no income above threshold level. These comprise the top three unmet basic needs of the barangay.

Education

Bayombon Elementary School is the only complete primary school present in the barangay. Four (4) day care centers and four (4) day care workers are operating to cater the pre-school education of the children below 7 years old.

SOCIAL PROFILE


During the SY 2001-2002, cohort survival rate was 68%. This only shows that 30% of the pupils enrolled in grade one was not able to graduate in the primary level, in SY 2003-2004 it was recorded at 45.45% but slightly increased during the SY 2004-2005 with 48%. Although the school facilities are almost complete, a classroom needs to be constructed to satisfy the 1:1 ratio of teacher to classroom. Specifically, the school needs a classroom for grade 1. The need for permanent teachers to limit the pupil to a maximum of 30-35 per classroom is given due course by the city government through hiring of additional licensed teachers. School guard is also contracted to safeguard the facilities of the school.

Summary of Issues/Concerns and Challenges

1. Insurgency continue to be a great threat for barangay development. Barangay Bayombon is infiltrated and influenced by New Peoples Army (NPA). The residents tolerate the extortion activities of the insurgents because of threat and intimidation. The implementation of some projects of the government and other concerned stakeholders are being blocked by these insurgents.

2. Water is the utmost concern of the barangay. They have a limited access on water particularly safe drinking water. Construction of additional source of water is in the barangay’s priority list in the nearest year to come.

3. With the proliferation of children ages 3-6 years old, construction of additional day care centers must be take in hand.

4. More than half of households have a poor sense of sanitation as revealed on their number of households that do not have sanitary toilet. Provision of sanitary toilet with intensive and proper monitoring is a significant solution to this problem.


5. Health facilities should be provided like medicines, weighing scale, etc and some equipment should be upgraded. Rehabilitation of their health center is also their concern.
