DEMOGRAPHY


Figure 3

Population Density Population density is 457.07 persons per square kilometer in 2005. It is expected to increase per square kilometer in the coming years due to factors such as urban populace shifting to rural areas due to land constraints and high land prices, the presence of coastal road to and from the city that may attract small scale businesses that may result to in-migration and may deter the local residents to migrate to neighboring areas for greener future.

Summary of Issues/Concerns and Challenges

1. On proportion of households with income below poverty threshold

Out of 548 households in Barangay Pawa, 374 or 68% have income below poverty threshold level. Most of them can be found in Puroks 1 and 4. Insufficient livelihood opportunities and attitude problem limits the residents in improving the quality of their liv es. Thus, better economic alternatives are being introduced through the program of cooperative development, livelihood assistance, pre and post harvest facilities distribution and skills training development.

Encourage potential product development which is abundant in the barangay such as coconut and bamboo.

Skills training on automotive, welding, electronics and driving

Sessions on character development

Promote and encourage small scale business or enterprise

Provision of livelihood /capital assistance

As an agricultural community, provision of pre and post harvest facilities will of great help to the farmers.

Introduce new farm technologies

Encourage backyard raising of farm animals

2. On proportion of households without sanitary toilet

347 or 63% out of 362 households have no sanitary toilet. All households in Purok 1 and 2 have no access this facility. This posts a


critical concern in the barangay as this may pose health and environment hazard to the community because improper waste disposal will bring several diseases to the populace. Every year the city government distributes steel bars, cement and toilet bowls for the construction of sanitary toilet. However, some are indifferent towards the program.

The Barangay council together with the midwife and health workers must intensify the monitoring of the construction of sanitary toilet to the recipients of the materials from the city government.

Conduct IEC on the importance of sanitary toilet

The barangay can also allocate funds for the construction of common septic tanks.

3. On proportion of households with member 13-16 years old not in high school.

Of 264 population of

children aged 13-16 years old, 154 or 58% are not attending high school. This is composed of 96 male and 58 female. Poverty and accessibility are the main reasons why they are not in high school. That’s why, the City Government has intensified its campaign on Literacy Program under the Alternative Learning System of the City Dep Ed. The city government provides the needs of the literacy class in all the barangays. This includes the boo ks, pencils, papers and notebooks of the participating class while the city Dep Ed provides the manpower and technical assistance from teachers to conduct literacy class.

Provide livelihood programs so that parents can afford to send their children to school.

Improve the accessibility to the secondary school.

Encourage out of school youths to participate in the ALS.

4. On proportion of households who have income below food threshold level

There are 250 or 45.6% households in the barangay who have

income below food threshold level. This may account to the number one problem of the barangay which is poverty.


Encourage backyard gardening for vegetables

Provide livelihood or capital assistance to the identified households

5. On proportion of households with no access to safe water.

Out of 548 households, 132 or 24% have no access to safe water. Households with no access are located in Purok 2 and Purok 4 which have a water source from dugwell and shallow well which is unsafe for drinking purposes. Only Purok 3 has better access from communal water system shared by 79 households and deep well by 44 households..

Construction of Level II water project (communal faucet) that will cover all the puroks.

Regular chlorination of open dug wells as well as deep and shallow wells.

Regular monitoring of water sources

Other social concern that should be given priority:

The health center should be equipped with health facilities and records of the midwives must be updated to provide better health services

Employment

Supplemental feeding must be given to households with malnourished member.

The programs of the city government are geared towards poverty

reduction. Developmental social programs and projects are being conceived to provide quality education, better health care, security, and empowering all sectors of the society. Education The greatest challenge of the Department of Education with the LGU is to provide quality education among children in elementary and secondary levels. It may seem elusive but it can be achieved through provision of programs and projects anchored on academic excellence and education for all.

There are two elementary schools present in barangay Maingaran located in Purok 2 and 4. It caters to children 6-12 years old. However, there are children above 12 years old who still avail elementary education. Maingaran Elementary School and N. Delos Reyes are both complete elementary school. Performance indicators of the elementary schools are found on table 14.

The facilities of the school in terms of its classrooms are basically good

with some buildings that needs repair. Laboratory and school clinic which are deemed necessary for the total educational development are lacking. Absence of these facilities is setbacks in the educational system of the school. Thus, there is a need to install/construct such facilities in order to provide better learning and hands-on experience of the lessons being taught to the school children. Out of 613 number of children ages 6-12 years old , 107 or 17% are not in elementary. This is composed of 64 male and 43 female. Financial constraint IS the main reason why these children are not attending school.

There is no secondary school in barangay Maingaran, students attend to the nearest barangay like Malinta where Capitolina Legaspi High School is located. Others are enrolled in Masbate National Comprehensive High School. However, out of 264 population of children aged 13-16 years old, 154 or 58% are not attending high school. This is composed of 96 male and 58 female. Poverty and accessibility are the main reasons why they are not in high school. That’s

of all farmers, many concerns and problems still pose as their hindrance in sustaining their livelihood and reaping more harvest. The problems that emerged are 1) irrigation; 2) lack of machineries or farm facilities to have a better harvest; 3) far

distance of the place where they trade their products and related concerns. In 2006, the City agriculture Office distributed a total of 3 knapsack sprayers, and 1 plow in selected farmers in the barangay.
