Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries can now open a bank account for only P50 and avail of the services offered by BPI Globe BanKO.

This is made possible through the Public-Private Partnership between the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and Globe Telecommunications, Inc.

“We would like to teach Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries the importance of saving money by encouraging them to open a bank account for as low as P50.00. It is never too late to help them learn and appreciate the benefits of saving,” Social Welfare and Development Secretary Corazon “Dinky” Soliman said.

BanKO is the first mobile-based, microfinance-focused savings bank in the Philippines. It provides the low-income sector with safe and easy access to affordable financial services such as PondoKO (Microsavings), PuhunanKO (Microloans) and PaniguroKO (Microinsurance).

It also features the convenient way of transferring money, electronic load and paying bills through texting. The savings account also comes with a free life insurance if the depositor is able to maintain a minimum of P2,000.00 for at least six months.

Around 212 Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries opened their bank accounts during the launching of the partnership recently. (JPA/DSWD/CAL/PIA9)

Human modeklarar si Mayor Dominador Jaolosjos Jr. nga siya magpapili isip gobernador sa Zamboanga del Sur sa nakalabay nga Marso 18, ang pamilyang Jalosjos pinanguluhan sa political Kingpin ug kanhi pinereso nga Representante Romeo ‘Nonong’ Jalosjos ang mitambong ug nanumpa isip membro sa Liberal Party-Alliance of Parties for Progress (LP-APP) Zamboanga del Sur didto sa Mardel Hotel Pagadian City.

Kuyog sa iyang igsoon ug mga anak ang kasamtangan Gobernador sa Zamboanga Sibugay Rommel Jalosjos, Zamboanga Sibugay Congressman Romeo Jalosjos Jr., Dapitan Mayor Dominador Jalosjos Jr., ug ABC President Marjorie Jalosjos sila ang mipakita sa katawhan sa Zamboanga del Sur sa usa ka ‘show of force’ gikan sa pamilyang Jalosjos nga gilantaw karon nga mobangga ug moilog gayud sa teritoryo sa mga Cerilles.

Ang nasangpit nga lakang ang matud pa gituyo sa mga Jalosjos gumikan sa daghanang mga hangyo sa katawhan sa Zamboanga del Sur nga silang mga Jalosjos ang mo entra sa politika didto aron makatilaw ug asenso ang ilang probinsya busa kini karon ang mipaklaro nga ang ilang pamilya ang karon mosulod na sa Zamboanga del Sur ug makigbugno sa umaabot nga piniliay sa tuig 2013 ang tipik sa mga gisaysay ni Nonong Jalosjos sa iyang mensahe sa pagpanumpa sa pagka membro sa Liberal Party-APP.

Angayan kahibaloan nga ang Zamboanga del Sur sulod sa dugay nang panahon ang gihuptan sa pamilyang Cerilles diin nagpuli puli lamang sa pwesto ang mag asawa nga Cerilles ug wala hatagi ug higayon ang uban aron sa paghupot ug taas nga pwesto diin kasamtangan nga gobernador si Antonio Cerilles ug ang asawa ni ini nga si Cong. Aurora Cerilles mao usab ang Representante sa ikaduhang distrito sa maong probinsya.

Ang gidugayon sa paghupot sa mga Cerilles ug pagpuli puli lamang sa pwesto sa bana ug asawa ang matud maoy hinungdan nga wala moasenso ang Probinsya sa Zamboanga del Sur busa kini ang gihimong katarungan sa matud pa miduol nga mga katawhan ngadto kang Romeo ‘Nonong’ Jalosjos aron paghangyo nga mosulod ug moapil kini sa politika didto sa maong probinsya.

Ang LP-APP sa Zamboanga del Sur galangkob nila ni Vice Gov. Roseller Ariosa, Atty. Tresindo Poloyapoy, Romeo Vera Cruz, ug LP Mayores sa Lungsod sa Labangan nga si Wilson Nandang ug Enrique Cabahug, Jr. sa lungsod sa Aurora.

Sa nakutlong impormasyon ning mantalaan si Mayor Enrique Cabahug ang matud pa gilisud lisud sa Cerilles administration pinaagi sa pag langan sa iyang mga infra projects ug pagsugo sa mga kaalyadong konsehales dinha sa pagpasaka ug mga kaso batok ni Mayor Cabahug samtang si Mayor Wilson Nandang kinsa gipabalik na karon sa iyang pwesto ang usab nakatilaw ug preventive suspension sa kaduha nga higayon gumikan sa mga walay klarong mga kiha ug sumbong.

Sa ilang kabahin ang pamilyang Jalosjos karon naghupot usab ug daghang mga dagkong pwesto dinhi sa Zambaonga Peninsula ug Misamis Occidental ang matud pa misanong lamang sa hangyo sa katawhan sa Zamboanga del Sur aron usab ilang mahatagan ug katumanan ang plano nga ilang mapalambo ug dungan ang tibuok Zamboanga Peninsula.

Ang pagsulod karon sa pamilyang Jalosjos dinha sa Zambaonga del Sur ang nakapatay-og sa political base sa pamilyang Cerilles diin matud pa kini mipakita na ug kahadlok sa pagpangutana sa makadaghan nga higayon kun unsa ka tinuod nga mosulod ug moapil gayud sa bugnong lugaynon ang pamilyang Jalosjos dinha sa ilang probinsya.

Sa pagsulod karon sa pamilyang Jalosjos sa politika sa Zamboanga del Sur sa tuyo nga mailog gayud ang teritoryo sa mga Cerilles gihugon hugon nga ang modagan pagka gobernador mao si Dapitan Mayor Dominador Jalosjos Jr, samtang si ABC President Marjorie Jalosjos ang modagan pagka kongresista sa ikaduhang distrito batok Cong. Auring Cerilles ang asawa sa gobernador.

Sa iyang mensahe gihimo ug lakip nga gipasigarbo ni Romeo ‘Nonong’ Jalosjos nga show window ang kusog kaayo nga paglambo sa syudad sa Dipolog ug ang syudad sa Dapitan nga karon matud pa ni Jalosjos nahimo nang sentro sa torismo.

Lakip nga gipahibalo ni Romeo ‘Nonong’ Jalosjos nga sila adunay mga kandidatong suportahan sa Misamis Occidental diin ang iyang anak nga si Mayor Lana Jalosjos Bueno ang mipukan sa political kingpin sa lungsod sa Balaiangao Agnie Yap sa gamay nga boto ug gipasigarbo usab ni Jalosjos ang matud pa imbitasyon sa katawhan dinha sa ilang pamilya nga sila moapil usab sa politika didto sa Zamboanga City.

Dugang kahinumduman nga nabaniog ang balita kaniadto nga dunay mga opisyales gikan sa probinsya sa Siquijor ang matud pa mituyo gayud ug duaw kang Romeo ‘Nonong’ Jalosjos aron pagkombensi kaniya nga moentra sa politika didto sa ilang isla sa Siquijor.

Dinhi sa Zamboanga del Norte gihugon hugon nga adunay Jalosjos nga modagan sa ikaduha nga distrito diin ang syudad sa Dipolog nahisakop apan hangtud karon wala pa kini ikumpermar ug si kinsa.

Angayan kahibaloan nga si Gov. Antonio Cerilles ang kanhi DENR Secretary sa panahon pa ni Presidente ERAP ang matud pa nakalayat ngadto sa Liberal Party dinhang naklaro na ang kadaugan ni Presidente Noynoy Aquino sa piniliay sa 2010 apan sa wala pa maklarong hinungdan laing LP-Wing sa pagpangulo karon ni Bise Gobernador Roseller Ariosa ang misagop sa mga Jalosjoses nga sukad pa kaniadto gusto nang motipon sa Liberal Party apan wala gayud dawata sa Regional Chairman Cong. Rosendo Labadlabad ug Provincial Chairperson Mayor Evelyn T. Uy. Hangtud sa pagsulat ning balita gipaabot pa ang tawag ug balik sa tinubdan kalabot na sa kalambuan ning isyo gikan sa kampo ug pamilyang Cerilles.

^^

Isuga man dagway ni boss toni... Walay katungod ang Jalosjos nga iquote ang progress sa Dipolog sa ila political campaign kay di man sila moi gapalambo sa Dipolog. Ilad2x napud mo ha... Pareha ratag sitwasyon ma Norte og Sur kulang pa ang kalamboan kay kung mahatagan pud mig provincial project dire, grabe kamahal og gamay ra kaayo ang matrabaho sa kwarta. Utangon pa gyud. Basin mabinlan gani mi dire og P1 billion kapin nga utang pag monaog na si Gov. Yebes.

First, my condolence to the Cerilles family for the passing of Vicente "Inting" also known as "manager" to all close to him. The grand old man of Zamboanga del Sur politics paired with the likes of Javier Ariosa and Jun Real has finally signaled the start of a new era of political challenge this family is facing, in the name of a clan called "Jalosjos". There is no bargain here at the end of the trade off amongst protagonist of the local supporters, most of which are really just joining the bandwagon - just former allies turning against each other. For all we know, Roy and Sammy were all with Tony at times when their careers were not in bloom. So what is new, nothing really. We can not expect Jalosjos to show drastic changes if successful in this elections, all you need is to look at Ipil and Dapitan if they really grew by leap and bounds - maybe their business assets, not the ones for the public. I won't be campaigning here but to look at the whole perspective of things, would you rather go for someone who has accomplished only 60% or go with one who will only add 10% to that. Let's face it, the public will never get 100% from a politician - even someone as honest as Rizal could not deliver that. Now the money issue, both candidates have them no doubt so one should go with the least of guilt conscience to take.

i hope people in zambo sur will visit dapitan not dakak to see the progress......

ZAMBOANGA DEL SUR (Mindanao Examiner / May 24, 2012) – Three people were injured when a cargo truck ploughed into a river bank in Zamboanga del Sur province in the southern Philippines.

Rescuers said the truck was carrying animal feeds when it crashed early on Wednesday on a village near Tigbao town.

“It was an accident. The driver may have doused off and crashed his truck. Three people were injured in the accident,” a villager Dong Sebastian said.

A crane truck was sent later on Thursday to lift the ill-fated vehicle. The truck was delivering the feeds to its warehouse when the accident occurred. (Mindanao Examiner)

The consultation aims to increase awareness of key stakeholders, particularly CSOs, on the ARMM Roadmap and Transition Support Plan, generate consensus from CSOs on their role in the implementation of the Transition Investment Support Plan (TISP) and agree on the work plan and terms of engagement among CSOs, implementing agencies and the Program Management Office with regard to the TISP.

One of the major components of this roadmap is the TISP which comprises various programs and projects amounting to more than P8.59 billion sourced-out from the savings of 11 national government agencies.

Presidential Assistant for Muslim Concerns at the same time the National Program Manager, TISP for ARMM Program Management Office Undersecretary Yasmin Busran-Lao said the roadmap focuses on eight key action and reform points such as improvement of basic services delivery; creating an enabling environment for public and private partnership towards equitable growth; stepping up peace and order initiatives for sustained growth and development; performing and strengthening bureaucratic reforms; cleaning up the electoral process and ensuring peace in the region; ensuring good governance benchmarks in ARMM; fully engaging CSOs and people’s organizations in governance; and maximizing the potential of ARMM.

Lao also encouraged the community to actively monitor the implementation of the different programs and projects in their respective areas and inform the implementing agency of what they observed. (JPA/CAL-PIA9)

DOLEidentifiestargetbarangaysforchildlabor-free zone

MANILA, May 25 (PIA) -- The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) recently announced the pre-identified target barangays with high incidence of child labor, which will be transformed by the DOLE Regional Offices into child labor-free zones.

“The DOLE Regional Offices are already coordinating with local government units as well as community leaders and barangays captains to help minimize incidents of child labor and illegal recruitment of minors. The DOLE anti- child labor program involves stricter enforcement of child labor laws, knowledge sharing, and alternative employment for the child workers’ families,” DOLE Sec. Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz said during the nationwide launching of the child labor-free barangay campaign in Quezon City.

She said that DOLE has mapped out strategies to intensify the Child Labor Prevention and Elimination Program. The strategies include preventing children from engaging in child labor through livelihood assistance to parents of child laborers and educational assistance; removing children from child labor through Sagip Batang Mangagawa; advocacy activities; capacity building; and strengthening partnership.

"The DOLE’s effort is part of its contribution to the goal of the Philippine Program Against Child Labor of eliminating the worst forms of child labor towards a child labor-free Philippines by 2016," Baldoz added.

The DOLE Regional Offices have listed 76 pre-identified barangays with high incidence of child labor or prone to child labor activities.

In Region 9, the identified barangays are Bulatoc in Pagadian City, Baybay in Liloy, Zamboanga del Norte and Sta Cruz, Lumabangan and Market Site in Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay province.

The labor chief also directed the DOLE Regional Offices to equip local officials with knowledge, particularly on the salient features of Republic Act 9231, to enable them to effectively protect children from the worst forms of child labor.

DOLE will also enhance its Kabuhayan para sa Magulang ng Batang Mangagawa project, which is aimed at preventing and eliminating child labor by providing families of child laborers with decent livelihood opportunities.

DOLE is set to conduct series of advocacy activities in the form of orientation, briefing, dialogue, symposium, forum, and campaigns to contribute to the formulation of ordinances against child labor; creation and strengthening of Barangay Councils for the Protection of Children; mainstreaming child labor agenda in the local development plans; and forging of memorandum of agreement/memorandum of understanding/accord.

DAR spearheads ceremonial signing of MOA with local chief executives

PAGADIAN CITY, May 25 (PIA) -- The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), Zamboanga del Sur provincial office on Wednesday conducted a ceremonial signing of documents for the issuance of certificate of availability of funds and orientation on the Agrarian Reform Communities Project, Phase 2 (ARCP2) at Farmer's haven, provincial government complex here.

Speaking before the local chief executives, municipal officers, and stakeholders, ARCP2 national project coordinator Homer Tobias said the activity was designed to fast track the implementation of the P58,017,790.92 worth of ARC projects in the six municipalities of the province.

Tobias said based on his experienc, it took 16 months to process and approve the projects due to the absence of different signatories and failure to comply some of the needed documents.

"With the presence of the local chief executives and municipal officers here, Tobias said it would then be much easier and faster for the regional sub-approved committee (RSAC) and national sub-approved committee (NSAC) to process their respective projects," Tobias added.

"We need to come together to compliment with each other and work as a team," Regional Director Julita Ragandang, ARCP2 regional project manager said.

"This is the beauty of the convergence strategy working in the ground. It reveals a very strong collaboration among the stakeholders," Ragandang said, adding that she was impressed on the interest manifested by the local chief executives in completing the documents such as memorandum of agreement, letter of intent, sub-project agreement, feasibility study, program of work, and detailed engineering report.

Ragandang said she was deeply touched and grateful for the untiring efforts extended by the local chief executive of the province in realizing the projects.

"I am deeply touched and very grateful for the untiring efforts extended by governor Antonio Cerilles where he personally made a dialogue with the officials of NCPO in Manila just to bring all the concerns in the province," Ragandang said.

Ragandang is looking forward for a continued and favorable environment in the implementation of these projects, saying that the government wants to improve the livelihood and welfare of the farmers.

Meanwhile, Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer Raymundo Bernardo said the ARC projects of the municipalities of Josefina, Midsalip, Molave, Tabina, Tambulig, and Tukuran, which costs to about P58,017,171.16, were recently approved by the RSAC and NSAC.

The P34,526,450.81 is an equity of the local government unit, while the 23,491.340.11 is ARCP2 share.

The ARC projects are composed of farm-to-market roads, school buildings, multi-purpose center, and barangay health station.

Bernardo was thankful for the support extended by the national project coordination office, regional project coordination office, and local government unit to help realize the the successful implementation.

"I am optimistic that the ARC projects will be implemented properly," Bernardo said.

Among those who inked the documents were mayors Fe Pitogo of Josefina, Leonida Angcap of Midsalip, Ireneo Glepa of Molave, Greg Dayondon of Tabina, Caridad Balaod of Tambulig, and Atty. Francisvic Vilamero of Tukuran (JPA/GCC-PIA 9, Zambosur)

Repost from previous thread:
Pagadian mayor eyes baywalk
Sunday, 22 January 2012 16:39

To boost his eco-tourism program, Pagadian City Mayor Sammy Co said he will put up a baywalk along the city’s coastal areas.

Co said the planned baywalk will stretch from Barangay Puluyagan, San Pedro Fish Port, Santa Lucia, Dumagok, Dapulan up to Bomba.

He said the project will benefit the people living in those barangays in terms of livelhood and income generating activities.

Co said the people living near the wharf will be affected by the project, but the city government will relocate them to an urban poor housing project.
Co said his term will end in 2013. His other projects for this year include construction of more barangay roads.

“I have already expanded the bus terminal last year and this project is ongoing. The city also donated radios and communication gadgets to the Philippine National Police and the Philippine Army to be used in combatting lawlessness and criminalities. The people can call the law enforcers through 117 in providing the latter information on suspicious persons in their area,” Co said. He said he plans to run for congressman in next year’s election. — Allen Abastillas

• ENGR. REYNITA R. EBAL, Asst. CPDCss
• MS. MILAGROS D. RADAZA, CDS Focal Person

PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Pagadian City’s overall development in 27 years as a Chartered City remains short of its potentials. It has tremendous assets to stimulate its growth, increase economic opportunities and reduce poverty and the city is determined to remove the bottlenecks in achieving rapid development. Watching closely the Cities Alliance’ drive for “Cities Without Slums”, it seeks means to replicate the process though the roadmap to reality maybe far and hard but it is worth a try.
Pagadian City is lucky to qualify in the City Development Strategy (CDS3) Advocacy Training Program on Good Governance: An Enabling Platform for Good Governance and Improving Service Delivery channelled by the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP). It is a technical assistance grant funded by Cities Alliance and supported by the World Bank, UN-Habitat and ADB. It is a continuing training for cities in the optimal utilization of resources for sustainable growth through economy-focused planning directions and development strategies.
The League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) through its Technical Team Consultants patiently and persistently guided these cities in the entire CDS process and helped formulate strategic framework for development drawn from the context of the Local Government Code of 1991, the 1992 Urban Development and Housing Act and the 1997 Social Reform Agenda.
For its part, Pagadian City worked with better understanding of urban concerns and developed vision and plans on a partnership approach involving key stakeholders in the definition of common problems and opportunities and in the preparation of the city’s development strategy. Its basic objective is to foster Pagadian City as a livable and vibrant city with capability to deliver enhanced services to the constituents and bring social and economic changes through participatory governance.
Today, after a review and analysis of how we, so far are going in this City Development Strategy (CDS) process, it is only fitting and proper that we first view the pro-active attitude of the Local Government and its staff who manifested a sense of urgency to forge planning tools for sustainable development. It is evident that the tasks before us are daunting. Indeed, we are not only expected to improve or modernize our system to deserve our people’s trust in us. We are counted upon to lay down the foundations of genuine government service – painstakingly and wholeheartedly.
A heart of courage and determined spirit can move gargantuan things. No less than Her Excellency President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo once said: “Even the smallest actions of a determined spirit can bring grace to the entire nation.” I hope that we will have our pro-active stance to the City Development Strategy (CDS) from now on, as we vow to provide a community much improved on major aspects of our concerns. Certainly, these improvements would be a lasting contribution to our nation.
I am sure that the first ever CDS Advocacy Training will find solutions to common problems encountered in local governance, yet we are for the fulfilment of our goals to enhance credibility and competence and better the quality of service. We are to maintain our local resources, for if wisely and properly used, will breed competence, credibility. We must keep abreast with the changes that are happening around us – wherever public service calls to render. Continuing changes is indispensable to the achievement of our goals. The underlying answer to the objective of CDS is clear: Enhancement of better public service by competent local government.
Remember, we may come from comfortable offices and wonderful homes; we may have been raised on or have been exposed to exotic urbanization. But because of common objectives, of common desires to improve the quality of public service and the urgency to help our constituents, we shall, in this corner of the nation, overcome our differences and find strength in our similarities. This we must do and do without delay as a matter of national concern. We shall in this part of the region plant the seeds of ideal public service run by open minds that accept continuing changes that are dedicated to a common cause.
Within these pages, we chart our plans taking cognizant of population, environment and local resources on the efficient allocation and use of the city’s resources for optimal growth and development. Knowledge on population and interrelationship of the demographic processes and state of support system especially infrastructure will sustain our planning tools for growth.
Inspired by what Martin Luther King said “My obligation is to do the right thing, the rest is in God’s hand”, I am obliged to make a CALL OF ACTION for all of us to build a modern city where all social classes have equal access to public service. We will always remember: methods are many, values are few, methods always change and values never do. Our plans are anchored on a love for humanity, a sense of public service or moral obligation in caring about people we have never met or barely know.
In taking these challenges as partner of the CDS process, the city affirms its commitment to enhance a strategic platform that provides foundations and impetus to development as it works and learns with others of how to bring the social and economic change we passionately believe are necessary for the realization of the city’s Vision 2020:
“Pagadian City, as the Regional City Administrative Seat of Government for Western Mindanao, shall be the Center for commerce, trade and agricultural based industries, upholding a sustainable ecosystem, administered by a technically empowered local government, with peace-loving and culturally united people.”
This Vision, which is built into, or arise out of, the very fabric of a city and its environ, is an inherent factor of a city dubbed as the “Heart of Mindanao” powered to go further and beyond expectation – “A PRIDE OF PLACE.”
The city’s mission is to create a LIVABLE CITY and strengthen its economic competitiveness to enhance its capability to provide basic and other services and opportunities for all; to improve the economic well-being of the people through environmentally, culturally sensitive and gender responsive plans and programs; to foster public policies, human service reforms and community support that effectively meet the needs of the city’s healthy development and sustainable growth and to serve as a positive, unifying force for social change.
The City of Pagadian has passed all the phases of the CDS process and is now in the stage of presenting this CDS Report which is a product of the collaborative and integrative efforts of all stakeholders from government to the private sectors. This CDS Report is timely and appropriate because it is based on the current city situation from its present capabilities to its inadequacies thereby coming up with a comprehensive analysis of short and long term vision and development thrusts anchored on the national 10-point legacy agenda.
Significant gains were achieved from the intense advocacy of the CDS 3 Training. It assessed the situation, addressed the problems and presented the solutions. It drives new planning directions based on up--to-date systems and application, deployment of new and complex technologies and strategies with specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely goals and targets in line with the government vision. This put to a test the limits of the city to help the economy, provide more jobs and support the fight against poverty.
All these were achieved through the concept of “partnership approach” of the CDS 3 Project and capturing the power of leadership change using Executive Management to strengthen the city’s organizational capacity to deal with whatever problem head-on, success and failure hinges on this matter, but the city cannot afford to fail. Short of my 4-years term, we have un-relentlessly endeavoured our purposeful-driven and socio-economic oriented development and growth for an agile and effective Pagadian City- “Heart of Mindanao”.
It is my honor to acknowledge the active participation and contribution of the City CDS Team: Hon. Estrella D. Arao, City Councilor, Ms. Milagros D. Radaza, City Administrative Assistant & CDS Focal Person, Engr. Reynita R. Ebal, Asst. City Planning & Development Coordinator, Engr. Rogelio C. Alcasid, Project Evaluation Officer IV, Engr. Gloria B. Samson, Engineer III and Ms. Ma. Theresa C. Balucan, Administrative Aide VI.
I give special thanks to the City and Barangay officials, National Government Agencies (NGAs) and stakeholders from the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), community organizations, academe, religious, business and private sectors for there valuable participation in the preparation of this report. Each of these people worked and gave their best.
Likewise, we are grateful to the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) for its dynamism and sensitivity in providing cities with training tools for an integrated, comprehensive and participatory approach on good urban management founded on the principles of livability, competitiveness, bankability and good governance. Our deepest appreciation also goes to the Cities Alliance, World Bank, UN-Habitat and the Asian Development Bank.
We recognize the competence and outstanding performance of the CDS Technical Consultants who tirelessly trained and guided us all throughout the process. To Former DENR Secretary and CDS Project Director, Ms. Bebet Gozun; Ms. Vickie Antonio, National Coordinator; Mr. Antonio Avila, Finance Specialist; Dr. Zenaida Manalo, Local Economic Development Specialist; Ms. Anna Gonzales, Social and Institutional Specialist and Mr. Rod Durmiendo, IT Specialist, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Special recognition is also extended to the hardworking CDS Secretariat composed of Babes Ancheta, Nadine Siriban and Polly Mora who were behind in all the undertakings of the CDS and have worked patiently with the CDS teams. Everyone who contributed facts and information to this report has made it infinitely better than we could ever do without their help, thank you.
MABUHAY PAGADIAN CITY and God bless us in all our past and present initiatives.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Municipality of Pagadian became a chartered city on June 21, 1969 through R.A 5478 and was designated as the Regional Center of Western Mindanao on October 12, 1990 by virtue of EO 429 in manifestation of its geographical location in the heart of Western Mindanao and its proximity to the general constituency in the region. Today, continuing to fulfil the mandate to serve the people, it takes its pride in working toward a better future for the residents of Pagadian City and Western Mindanao.
Pagadian City is a first class city with a total land area of 37,880 hectares or 378.80 square kilometers and a population of 142,582 and 28,041 households as of 2000 Census and a projected population of 155,988 and 165,617 in 2003 and 2005, respectively. The city’s urban area consisting of 13 barangays is densely populated to as much as 78,320 or 54.93% while the rural area composed of 41 barangays is populated by 64,262 or 45.07% of the total population.
With 78.14% dependency on its Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), Pagadian City’s 2005 total budget of P330M is based on its projected income from local taxes of P60M and from Internal Revenue Allotment of P270M. It generated a total asset of P1, 169, 617,508.05 as of 2005 without experiencing any budget deficit.

PAGADIAN CITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CDS)
1. Introduction:
Pagadian City is fortunate to be a recipient of the City Development Strategy (CDS) 3 Project: An Enabling Platform for Good Governance and Improving Service Delivery. This technical assistance is funded by the Cities Alliance in partnership with the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) and supported by World Bank, UN-Habitat and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the city’s sustainable development and growth.
Year 2006 set anew another milestone for Pagadian City after developing its Development Agenda 2020. Its participation to the 2006 Investment Marketplace will lead to global approach to development and progress. The city basic urban karte provides a diagnosis to enable planners to know easily how much the city had accomplished its vision by a gap between the quantitative targets and indicators.
The participation of residents, NGOs and community organizations in developing the urban karte encourages the transparency and accountability of local government action. Using the concept of a “partnership approach”, the team were able to formulate strategies, plans and programs to enhance the opportunities and strengths to attain the common vision anchored on the principles of sustainable city on “Livability, Competitiveness, Bankability and Good Governance” and work painstakingly towards the realization of its Vision 2020:
“Pagadian City as the Regional Center of Western Mindanao shall be one of the most important hubs for commerce, trade and agri-based industry, upholding a sustainable ecosystem, administered by technically empowered local government, with peace-loving and culturally united people.”
The city came up with a new City Brand: ”Pagadian City “Heart of Western Mindanao” in manifestations of its strategic and geographical location in the Heart of Western Mindanao that can be a catalyser for development and growth of the community and people.
The city’s mission is to maintain a LIVABLE CITY and strengthen its economic competitiveness to enhance its capability to provide basic and other services and opportunities to all; to improve the economic well-being of its constituents through environmentally, culturally sensitive and gender responsive plans and programs; to foster public policies, human service reforms and community support that effectively meet the needs of the city’s healthy development and sustainable growth; and, to serve as a positive, unifying force for social change.
Like any city, the welfare of its constituency always stands foremost among other agenda. It is the primary task of public servants and the civil society to continue working together to narrow the gap between the few who are very rich and the many who are very poor. It is their obligation to help build better future for the disadvantaged children, the abused and the victims of calamities.
The expected rapid urbanization and growth experienced in the economic sector will not result to an imbalanced as it is coupled by a complementary poverty alleviation program geared towards uplifting the living condition of the poor. The anticipated growth of agri-industry and tourism will also raise the income levels of those affiliated with these sectors faster than whatever growth the lower income group can attain.

Pagadian City, “Heart of Western Mindanao”
To match the growing population with economic development complemented by the strategic position of Pagadian City within the Heart of Mindanao and the implementation of EO No. 429 declaring Pagadian City as the new Regional Center for Western Mindanao, new Central Business Districts (CBDs) and potential areas for economic growth will be developed. This would increase the value of real properties and enhance local trade and commerce.

Amidst the increasing economic activities and burgeoning urban population, the city has balanced its progress with the natural environment. The local economy is thriving and the boom in business is largely due to the city’s ability to facilitate investment, develop pro-poor development programs and initiatives in promoting a livable environment.

Pagadian City, “A Pride of Place”
Tourism is a value-added undertaking capable of propelling rapid development and growth. This is an economic activity that the city can be proud of and a way to promote Pagadian City as a “PRIDE OF PLACE” and a fascinating tourist destination in Southern Philippines.

Pagadian City,“A Strong Institution”: A Pillar of Participatory Governance
Towards this end, it is designed that the city under the CDS Advocacy Program will have mix programs, which consist primarily of improving urban infrastructure supportive of the trade, agri-industry and tourism development sectors, with consideration of including poverty alleviation and environment management concerns. Its development is measured in terms of income the city can produce or the number of jobs it can create, the efficiency in the delivery of basic services or adequacy of social and infrastructure facilities to improve the quality of life of the people and the capacity to maintain a clean, safe and orderly environment.
A. CITY PROFILE
1. PAGADIAN CITY: YESTERDAY A HISTORY, TODAY A FACT, TOMORROW AND IN 2020 A VISION
Pagadian City is a 1st Class City in the Province of Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. It is the capital and component city of the province and the Regional Center of Western Mindanao.
It became one of the barrios of the old Municipal District of Labangan in the old Province of Zamboanga. In 1934, Director Teofisto Guingona, Sr. of the Bureau of Non-Christian Tribes transferred the seat of government to Pagadian City upon the direction of then Governor Leonard Wood. Datu Macaumbang donated 260 hectares of land to Pagadian City for the Christians in Labangan who were willing to transfer to Pagadian City.
Pagadian was organized into a regular municipality on March 23, 1937 by virtue of Executive Order No. 77 and was converted into a chartered city of Pagadian City on June 21, 1969. Then Municipal Mayor, the late Benjamin F. Arao became the first City mayor by operations of the City Charter.
1990, during the administration of President Corazon C. Aquino, the Regional Center of Region IX was transferred to Pagadian City, yet this proposal was sternly blocked by the people of Zamboanga City led by the late City Mayor Maria Clara L. Lobregat who filed a case in the Supreme Court of the Philippines questioning Executive Order No. 429 that transferred the Regional Seat of government from Zamboanga City to Pagadian City but lost after long years of legal battle. The mandate was finally pushed through in 2004 when President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ordered all offices to be transferred to Pagadian with the exception of the regional branches of the Department of Tourism, Department of Labor and Employment and Department of Trade and Industry which was retained in Zamboanga City.
Pagadian City, located in the Heart of Western Mindanao, is aimed to become one of the most important hubs in the south following the controversial regional transfer from Zamboanga City. The transfer of the regional center to Pagadian City would make Zamboanga City the center of business and trade in the region.
With an administrative land area of 37,880 hectares or 378.80 square kilometres which is 8.46% of the total land area of the province, its total population as of 2000 NSO census is 142,585 with 28,04l households and projected population in 2005 is 165,165 with 33,118 households. It has an annual average growth rate of 2.82% greater than the national average growth rate.
As a high altitude city with a network of mountains on the north and western frontiers, balmy climate and natural sceneries, Pagadian City is 78.14% dependent on Internal Revenue Allotment. With best formulated service standards, it grew as a strong and transparent city with well-managed finances deserving of public trusts. It accumulated a total asset of P1, 169,617,508.05 as of December 31, 2005.
Pagadian City’s economy is highly diversified and thriving. As the center of commerce, politics and futuristic city of Western Mindanao, it is poised to grow as a bustling metropolis and financial capital in the South. Its meteoric rise in short years under CDS concept of sustainable cities is projected by its capable officials, the civil society and God-centered citizens. This gigantic growth will be an opportunity for Pagadian City to move forward and become a premier city in Western Mindanao. This is the VISION by 2020.
2. PAGADIAN CITY: A PRIDE OF PLACE
“City of fine beaches, cool and virgin Mountain Peaks and pristine Waterfalls”
Aimed also as an important tourist hub in Western Mindanao, Pagadian City is now head vent in developing the natural attractions of the city which is envisioned as the tourist capital of the South. Though there are several potential tourist spots in the city, the City Tourism for now prepared the blueprint and design for development of the following:

B. DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
1. Population and Development
Population and development are closely interrelated and the demographic processes of mortality, fertility and migration are the determinant of the size of the population, age structure and spatial distribution. Likewise, the demographic outcomes affect the development processes of consumption, saving, investment and the utilization of human and natural resources and public spending.
Development process also determines the level of income and its distribution, employment, health, education and other socio-economic outcomes including the quality of the environment and the level of welfare and socio-economic status of the people finally determines the demographic processes of mortality, fertility and migration.
Demographic and development outcomes may be improved through interventions in government policies, programs and projects and actions of the private sector and the people of the community. To generate more employment and income, the government may intervene through local or foreign investments or public works projects.
2. Population, Size, Growth Rate and Density
As of September 1, 1995 census, Pagadian City had a total population of 125,182 equivalent to 7.24 percent of the total population of Zamboanga del Sur. The 1995 population was greater by 18,875 of the May 1, 1990 population census with more than 10 percent increase of the total population of the province from 1990 to 1995.
The city’s population grew by 3.11 percent per year from 1990 to 1995. With this growth rate, the city’s population by May 1, 2000 NSO Census was 142,585 and implies a doubling growth rate in a period of 22 years in the population of Pagadian City. The population growth rate of the city was much higher than that of the province of Zamboanga del Sur and due to the faster increase in the population of Pagadian City, its share in total population of the province was higher in 1995 at 7.24 percent compared to its share of 6.88 percent in 1990.
The NSO placed the land area of the city at 331.6 square kilometres. Considering this figure, the population density of the entire city (urban and rural) in 1995 was 330.5 persons per square kilometre. This was much higher than the population density of 214.6 persons per square kilometre of the province.
The in-migration of people in the neighboring municipalities, provinces and the rural barangays to the urban center accumulated 107.6 people per hectare compared to 2.02 people per hectare in the rural barangays. As of 2000, the urban population density per square kilometre is 9,264.
While rapid growth in population is expected in terms of development in 2020, this increase would not be that high considering that intervention and opportunities will be available in other satellite areas and growth centers of the province. This follows the trend of developing countries to decrease the population growth rates.
3. Urban-Rural Population, Age-Sex Structure and Migration
Pagadian City is the second largest city in the Zamboanga Peninsula in terms of population. As of 2000 Census, the city has a population of 142,582 with 28,041 households; 78,326 or 54.93%consists of the urban population and 64,256 or 49.43% rural population. The urban population in the city is more than two times greater than the urbanization rate of the province.
With the city’s population annual average growth rate of 2.82%which is higher than the national growth rate, Pagadian City’s projected population in 2003 and 2005 are 155,988 and 165,167, respectively and the 2006 population is definitely way beyond this figure. Considering a land area of 378.80 sq. km., the population density is 4.12 per hectare.
As to population area distribution, the urban area is densely populated to as much as 54.93% and the rural at 45.07%. The population density for urban is 107.6 per hectare and the rural at 2.02 per hectare. Since the past, the city is a net-in –migration area, accounting for rapid growth of the population which indicated that the city was attracting migrants from other places.. Of the total urban population of 113,989 in 2003, more than 7% or 9,097 were not residents of the city. The city experienced a geometric growth rate of 2.82% from 1995 to 2000.
The city’s population based on age group is dominated by young people where about 49.43% are below the age of 20 and less than 2.98% are age 65 and over. Unemployment rate is 5.50%. The female unemployment rate is 4.83% while the male is 6.15%. The total male group that are employed are 35,316 and the female, 18,197.
The total population of age 15 to 40 as of 2003 is 93,200 consisting of 46,255 males and 47,754 females with about 59,219 or 63.54% were in the work force and about 54,093 or 58.04% were employed and 5,126 unemployed. The remaining 34,018 or 36.50% are jobless either because they are students, housewives, disabled, aged or incapacitated to work.

2. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Pagadian City is the capital of Zamboanga del Sur, one of the three provinces in Region IX. It is accessible from the cities of Dipolog, Ozamis, Iligan and Cagayan de Oro in the northeast by bus and from the cities of Cotabato, Zamboanga and Cebu either by bus or boat. Considered as the entry point by land transportation to the region, it is surrounded by other agricultural/fishing municipalities of Midsalip, Labangan, Lakewood, Dumalinao and Tigbao. At the south-eastern part of the city is the rich fishing ground of Yllana Bay.
Majority of the land in Pagadian City is agricultural. Situated within the tropics of Northern Hemisphere, its climate is pronounced dry season from January to March and rainy from April to December. Rainfall distribution is moderate. It is well outside the typhoon belt.
With mixed topographic relief influenced by mountain networks on the north and western frontiers, Pagadian City’s highest peak is Lison Valley rising 1,432 feet above sea level. It has igneous pyroclastics geology landform composed of moderately basaltic hills and plateaus. Others has rocks classified sedimentary-recent alluvium under-developed tidal flat and mountains.
The types of soil found are alamino/Antipolo complex, Louisiana/Jasan complex, Buyogan Clay Loam and Mountain soil undifferentiated. The city also has four (4) major rivers traversing the urban areas and one well outside the outskirts.
Flooding hazard areas, especially during heavy rains, are located in the southern and most of the eastern part of the city. These areas sometimes experienced flooding with waters overflowing the street canals. These areas are level or nearly level in slope classification and comprised about 8% of the city’s total area.
The city’s terrains in most of its barangays are well-drained to moderately well-drained. Areas located in the northeastern portion are with strongly sloping landscape and steep hills susceptible to erosion. Its physical characteristics make the city unique from others.
3. GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGES

Pagadian City is the Regional Government Center of Western Mindanao by virtue of EO 429, Series of 1990 issued by Her Excellency, President Corazon C. Aquino. The mandate was finally realized in 2004 with the transfer of 32 regional offices and the full and final transfer of the remaining regional offices will be pursued with the assistance of the National Government and the Provincial Government of Zamboanga del Sur under Governor Aurora Enerio-Cerilles.
The city’s location in the Heart of Mindanao is a geographical advantage to enhance its growth as another premier city in the South. Its strategic position as the central place or growth area in Western Mindanao is a competitive advantage. Pagadian City is poised to grow as a flourishing commercial hub of the region with fascinating tourist attractions and another gateway for economic trade to Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines-East Asia Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA).
The City is also geographically located in the crossroads of eight (8) key cities and one (1) capital Municipality and is accessible by air and sea to the key centers of Manila, Cebu, and Davao. It is the transhipment point of domestically traded products.
D. PLANNING FOR GROWTH
Pagadian City is the most developed area in Zamboanga del Sur. It will also be a premier city in Western Mindanao replicating the development tempo of the cities of Manila and Makati. The city can now match with other developed provincial and regional capital. Its location in the heart of Mindanao brings the city to closer contact and synergy with the progressive cities in Northern and Central Mindanao and the rest of the Visayas and Luzon.
The improved highways leading to Pagadian City from Ozamis City, Iligan City, Cagayan de Oro City and Zamboanga City and the implementation of the Pagadian City Investment Incentive Ordinance increased the trading activities of the city and encouraged more investors. More businesses are expected to pour investments in the city to take advantage of the city’s potentials.
As the provincial capital of Zamboanga del Sur, the regional capital of Western Mindanao and new gateway to Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines East Asia Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA), Pagadian City will grow fast in the future. The potentials of the city to achieve greater development are expected with its involvement in the CDS process which the involved stakeholders from the government and private sectors in the formulation of strategies, plans and programs.
The City Development Strategy covered the necessary infrastructures and support services to encourage the active participation of the private sector in development; Improvement in roads, sea and air transport, power and water supply, solid waste collection and disposal, sewerage and urban services to attract the entry of new business investments in the city; Social services and facilities to prepare the human resources of the city for higher productivity.
Social and economic development is a product of good management. Social development involves the improvement in health, education, housing, social welfare, protective services and social justice. Economic development consists of an increase in the level of production, employment and income that are made possible by the increase in investments, application of new technology and the increase and more efficient utilization of human and natural resources.
Managing social and economic development requires that balance is achieved between the different areas of concerns of the city including the important consideration of the environment and its sustainability. Government programs and projects on health and education are important in the development process.
Good planning and management also requires that local planners and officials work closely with the different stakeholders in the city to join in the identification of the city’s distinctive competence and development priorities after considering its internal strength and weaknesses and outside threats and opportunities. It also requires that the people participate in the development process and in the sharing of the fruits of development.
The strength of Pagadian City lies in its abundant agricultural resources and strategic location as the central place or growth center in Mindanao. The development of the province particularly in roads is now opening many new opportunities in the city. New investments in all sectors are now ripe including the provision of basic economic services vital to the people in the city and the rest of Mindanao.
The City Government has initiated moves for multi-dimensional planning with the neighboring municipalities of Midsalip on the North, Labangan on the Northwest and East, Lakewood on the west and Dumalinao and Tigbao on the southeast with the end in view of establishing Metro Pagadian. Its primary purpose is to attain integration of economic and infrastructures, promote inter-government coordination and cooperation and to ensure compatible land using activities at the territorial boundaries.

II. Situational Analysis
A. LIVABILITY

1. Background

Among inherent geographic variables, Pagadian City “like every high altitude city”, is a place surrounded by spectacular natural beauty, elevation and climate that can influence the wellness and well-being of men. The city addresses every issue that influence wellness and well-being in a way that prosperity and business growth will not affect the health of the people. Racial, cultural and economic differences are separated from climate and geography that prevails in modern and affluent nations.
Like any fast growing high altitude city, Pagadian is poised to grow as a City for Everyone. The rapid growth of population is influenced by in-migration in the urban district. Even with its urbanization, Pagadian City has a well-balanced ecology. Its roadmap to agro-industrialization is balanced with the journey to the protection of the ecology.
Tropical climate, elevation, inspiring sceneries, soil and water with mineral content are the natural assets to enhance the quality of life and promote Pagadian City. Its urbanization is balanced with its natural environment necessary in the attainment of a clean, safe and orderly community.
a. Population and Housing
With a total population of 142,585 and 28,041 households as of 2000 and a projected 2005 population of 165,167 and 33,118 households, the annual growth rate of 2.82%is higher than the national growth rate. People from the neighboring municipalities, provinces and the rural barangays have migrated to the urban centers that accumulated 107.6 people per hectare compared to the 2.02 people per hectare in the rural area.
As of 2000, the number of households with security of tenure is 38.33%, while the household without security of tenure is 52.67%. The number of households living along the danger zone such as the road-right-of-way, riverbanks and along the coastlines consists of 3,000 households or 9% of the total households.
With this scenario, housing needs have increased. The efforts in building a “City without slums by 2015”is viewed from the existence of Government Resettlement sites made available with NGO participation on housing projects while private sector initiatives on low-cost housing, which is strongly encouraged, are also existing and emerging. The city is also working hard to relocate households living along the danger zones such as those in the road-right-of-ways, riverbanks and along the coastlines with its proposed Fishermen’s Village. As an initial step, the acquisition of a relocation site is already approved and it is now in the pipeline.
As of 2005, the projected number of households was 33,118 and households with access to Level 1 water supply are10.15%; Level II, 13.73% and Level III, 71.52%, while the number of households without access to Level III is 4.6%. The number of households with sanitary toilet and septic tanks is 69.63% and with access to solid waste collection is 68.79%. The number of households with access to electricity is 24,020 and 93% of the total number of barangays are already energized.
With a poverty incidence of 27% in 2005 (Source: NSCB), majority of the populace lives below the poverty threshold. Among its disadvantaged sectors are the informal settlers, government employees, farmers, fisherfolks and laborers devoid of decent housing. Households with no security of tenure rose to 52.67%. The current housing backlog will increase with the new housing needs of regional employees.
b. Education
Government spending on education is vital for development. Education is the best instrument against poverty. The government’s campaign to attain a literacy rate to the optimum level is built upon its thrust to have a competitive human resource through existing affordable education.
Public and private schools cater to the city’s need for preparatory, Elementary, Secondary, Tertiary and Vocational studies. The City Government maintains day care centers in almost every barangay. Preparatory education offered in public elementary is a government action on free education while private preparatory schools in the urban district helps one way or another in the government’s literacy campaign.
SY 2002-2003 Summary of Over-all Performance Indicators (Deped, Pagadian City): Participation Rate, 75.86%; Cohort Survival Rate, 96.59%; Drop-Out Rate, 0.66% and Completion Rate,75.31%. School drop-outs’ incidence are due to financial constraints and distance to the school. Secondary public schools are located only within clustered or group of barangays and participation rate are affected by poverty and distance from schools.
Pagadian City is the country’s first recipient of the “Concentrated Learning Encounter (CLE)” Program which is a matching grant from the Rotary International in partnership with the Rotary Club of Pagadian City. The program is now on its 4th year implementation and is helping much in the education of the people.
c. Health
Wellness and well-being of the citizenry is the paramount duty of the LGU. Health Advocacy and services are continuously promoted to maintain a healthy citizenry.
The city’s current health advocacy are focused on the programs of free medicines for indigent patients; medical, dental and optical outreach programs to far-flung barangays; acquisition of medical facilities and equipment; improvement of Pagadian City Hospital and fund subsidy to the Provincial Hospital for the free hospitalization of indigent patients of the city.
The 2005 CHO Data showed the following health statistics: Crude Birth Rate, 17.96%; Crude Death Rate, 4.85; Maternal mortality, 35.84% and Infant Death Rate, 6.63%. Heart disease, Malignant Neoplasm, Accident/Violence and Diarrhea ranked among the leading causes of death while the top three types of diseases which cause morbidity are URTI/Bronchitis, Pneumonia and Diarrhea.
The causes of death and illness cannot be totally blamed on the lack of health care and service. Lifetime health destroying habits like typical hi-fat and hi-stress lifestyle, man-made pollutants like toxins of overloaded garbage dumpsites and acid rain can also be the culprit. Surroundings or unsanitary environment, food handling, climate, food handling, food habits/lifestyle, and increasing population, among others are factors that lead to these diseases as well as the limited number of medical health personnel and resources/facilities of the Local Government.
d. Environment
The city has embarked with a program on environmental protection to avert environmental degradation and destruction through the continued campaign against illegal logging, slash and burn system and stoppage of gold mining activities. The marine and coastal ecosystem are being managed properly to protect the air and water quality in coastal areas. Marine environment protection is done through mangrove reforestation, implementation of Eco-Gov projects for marine resources and protection of fish sanctuary.
The Networks of Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS), Non-Nipas and severely-eroded areas (SEAs) are being protected while agriculture production lands specifically the Network of Protected Agricultural Area (NPAA) or Highly Restricted Agricultural prime lands are also given equal amount of protection and conservation.
The erosion-potential areas found in the strongly sloping landscape and steep hills and mountains in the northeastern portion of the city cover a total land area of 150.9 sq. Km. or 45% of the total land area of the city.
As to natural drainage, due to terrain, majority of the city barangays, approximately 90%, are classified as well-drained to moderately well-drained. However, areas located in the southern portion of the city and are along or near Pagadian Bay are poor to very poorly-drained. Rivers and tributaries form as a natural drainage of the city. This has to be prevented to avoid the pollution of seawaters and rivers.
With initiative for clean and green environment, the city has embarked on a Solid Waste Management Project and Greening Project involving all barangays and their officials. The city has a semi-controlled dumping site and solid wastes collection is limited to 13 urban districts and 4 rural barangays with minimal segregation at source. Commercial and industrial firms are not covered by garbage collection.
Wastes are segregated into biodegradable and non-biodegradable at source. Biodegradable wastes are processed into fertilizer using Bio-reactors equipped with shredder, composter, dryer, Hammer mill, shifter and bagging equipment. Recyclable wastes are sold to junk shops.
There are five (5) barangays with Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and a city-managed MRF, Bio-Reactor Composting System and Windrow Composting. An active women group doing economic activities through recycling of waste materials was organized through the initiative of Governor Aurora Enerio-Cerilles and being closely monitored by City Councilor Estrella D. Arao.
The clean and green program is also on-going in all the 54 barangays which includes tree planting. Beautification in all Puroks is being undertaken by the barangays in coordination with the Department of Education (DepEd).
e. Water
Pagadian City has a sufficient supply of good quality water with mineral content. The mineral content of soil and water is moderately affected by man-made pollution. The main sources of water are from deep wells and from the Pagadian City Water District (PCWD). Other identified water sources that can be tapped to augment the water supply of the city are the groundwater sources of Labangan River, Mt. Murias, Dampalan Springs, Manga Springs and Bulawan Springs.
The Pagadian City Water District (PCWD)distributes abundant water to households and other private and public entities which makes the city very attractive to investors and other interested parties. It serves the urban district with potable water sourced from the springs in Napolan, Dumagoc and Sto. Nino. There are 29 functional Level I Water Systems; 29 functional Level II Water System and 17 functional Level III.
f. Protective Services
The maintenance of peaceful, stable and just environment contributory to a livable and competitive city is the major concern of the city government.

DENR order ignored, illegal mining still continues in Zamboanga Sur Monday, May 28, 2012 01:27:58 PM

PAGADIAN CITY (Mindanao Examiner / May 28, 2012) ? Authorities have failed to put a stop to illegal gold mining activities despite a government order in the town of Bayog in the southern Philippine province of Zamboanga del Sur, officials said Monday.

Officials said the illegal activities continue unabated in Balabag in the mountain village of Depore, where one miner had died from a recent landslide.

The Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Western Mindanao said at least 28 owners of illegal rod mills used in processing of gold continue to operate in Balabag without any government permits.

?It was observed that mining activities were proliferating in the area, and operating without valid environmental permits from the EMB. Illegal rod mill operators violated Clean Water Act of 2004, Clean Air Act of 1999, Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990,? said EMB Regional Director Sixto Tolentino in a letter sent recently to Zamboanga del Sur Governor Antonio Cerilles.

Cerilles is also the chairman of the Zamboanga del Sur Inter-Agency Task Group on Mining, Environment, and Public Order, and Safety. Just this year, Cerilles ordered the closure of all illegal mining operations in Bayog, but some of its financiers were government officials.

The task group is composed of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, Environmental Management Bureau, Provincial Environment Office, Armed Forces of the Philippines through the 1st Infantry Division, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and representatives of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Zamboanga del Sur.

The MGB has released an (cease and desist) order last month stopping all illegal mining operations in Balabag. But military and police authorities have failed to carry out the order for a still unknown reason.

The EMB warned owners of illegal rod mills, mostly members of the Monte de Oro Small Scale Miners Association headed by Roselyn Silva, for operating without government permits

In an inspection in Balabag this month, Tolentino said the rod mill operators also violated various environmental laws. He ordered them to submit their reply to complaints filed against them.

He identified the illegal rod mill operators as Jessie Duala, Dodong Gumimpi, Sally Gumimpi, Arnulfo Garan, Boy Mantos, Loloy Labadisos, Arandy Silva, Jerry Silva, Roselyn Silva, Boyet Pausanos, Balolho Bation, Windelyn Bation, Gerardo Sinanggote, Nonoy Sinanggote, BGD, Lek2x Cabug-os and Corpo, Raul Dano, Nelly Samonte, Ajing Andilab, Belen Labilisma, Dinnes Paquit, Rico Briol, Dylene Generosa, Roberto Lopez, Eutime Virgo, Bob Lopez, Charity Monding and Stephine Maribao.

?Your failure to attend the scheduled conference or file a position paper shall be construed as a waiver of your right to present evidence in your behalf and the case shall be resolved based on evidence on record,? Tolentino said in separate letters sent to them.

The illegal gold mining activities in the sleepy town of Bayog have been going on for the past 15 years. Small scale miners have illegally claimed hundreds of hectares of lands Balabag and since then have caused tremendous environment pollution. The illegal miners used cyanide and nitric acid and other hazardous chemicals including mercury to process gold, according to DENR.

And despite these problems, authorities are hapless in putting a stop to the illegal mining in Bayog where miners blasted their way through tunnels with improvised explosives. Child labors are also rampant in Balabag, where many laborers and miners had died from landslides and collapsed tunnels over the years. (Mindanao Examiner)

Geo hazard maps accessible, downloadable at four websites

By Claro A. Lanipa Monday 28th of May 2012

PAGADIAN CITY, May 28 (PIA) -- Geohazard maps are now accessible and downloadable from four government websites, including that of a non-government organization.

This was announced by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

The government websites hosting the interactive geohazard maps include that of the DENR (www.denr.gov.ph), Mines and Geosciences Bureau (www.mgb.gov.ph), Philippine Information Agency (www.pia.gov.ph), and that of Environmental Science for

(www.essc.org.ph).

DENR Secretary Ramon J. P. Paje said the move is to broaden public access to the geohazard maps, which has become an important tool in disaster risk reduction and management.

Paje said that with the identification of the Philippines as among those highly vulnerable to the impact of climate change, Filipinos should brace for typhoons with greater intensity in terms of wind speed and rainfall that could trigger flooding and landslides.

“We don’t want to be alarmistS, but as the saying goes, ‘mas maigi na ang maagap.’" With climate change, we have to accept the fact that some of the typhoons that would be visiting us would have greater intensity that could trigger flooding and landslides,” Paje explained.

He urged the public to be proactive in taking precautionary measures to minimize, if not prevent, any adverse impact of calamities not only in one’s family and community but on the country as a whole.

As part of government’s risk reduction and management program, the

negotiating with various entities and organizations for the hosting of the geohazard maps his agency has generated to broaden public access.

The latest of such successful negotiations, said Paje, was with the Environmental Science for Social Change (ESSC), a non-profit research organization located at the Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City, which has already put up an online facility for the geohazard maps in its website pursuant to a memorandum of agreement recently entered into between ESSC Executive Director Sylvia SM Miclat and Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) Director Leo Jasareno.

Under the agreement, the DENR, through the MGB, would provide ESSC with digital copies in their best resolution of the 700 geohazard maps at a scale 1:50,000, and of the updated ones at scale of 1:10,000 once these become available by 2014.

“Make time to visit their website, www.essc.org.ph. The geohazard maps

interactive but are also downloadable,” Paje said.

Meanwhile, MGB Director Jasareno said that the densification of the geohazard maps at a scale of 1:10,000 is now in full swing, and is expected to completed in 2014.

Alongside, the MGB is also conducting coastal and marine geohazard survey to determine the approximate rates of shoreline changes through time due to coastal erosion or accretion, and to identify potential marine and coastal geohazards and the appropriate measures to prevent massive impact.

Jasareno said the agency has already completed the nationwide geohazard assessment and mapping program at a scale of 1:50,000 two years ago, covering a total of 1,634 cities and municipalities.

He also said that all LGUs have already furnished copies of their respective geohazard maps and have been properly oriented on the use of the maps. (JPA/DENR/CAL-PIA9)

DTI warns public on bogus lending company

Monday 28th of May 2012

PAGADIAN CITY, May 28 (PIA) --The provincial office of the Department of Trade and Industry has issued an advisory warning the public against transacting with a bogus lending company.

Ma. Socorro M. Atay, Provincial Director of DTI said that Global Money is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a corporation and has also not been issued a Certificate of Authority to operate as a lending company.

"I don't know if this has been brought to the attention of the media, word of mouth has reached DTI but nobody has filed a complaint about Global Money Unlimited. And I don't know if Caceres Lending Investor or Caceres Global

Zamboanga del Sur but definitely, we have heard about Global Money Unlimited," Ms. Atay explained.

She said the Commission advises the public that the registration of Caceres Lending Investor company with SEC Registration No. A1999090295 as a partnership has already expired in 2009.

Moreover, it has not been issued a Certificate of Authority to operate as a lending company, pursuant to Republic Act 9474 or the Lending Company Regulation Act of 2007 and is therefore not allowed to engage in the business of lending anywhere in the Philippines.

Furthermore, the records of the Commission do not show the registration of Global Money unlimitied , Inc and Caceres Global Foundation Inc. as corporations or partnerships.

The public is therefore advised not to enter into any lending or other transactions with the above-named entities.

Information relating to the unauthorized lending or other activities of Caceres Lending Investor Company, Global Money Unlimited and Caceres Global Foundation Inc. may be e-mailed to ced@sec.gov.ph, or call the Enforcement and Prosecution Department at Telephone Nos. 584-5337 (Office of the Director) and 584-7652 (Complaints and Investigation Division).

^^ kahibalo naman ng mga residente kung unsay consequences if naa man ganiy mahitabo nga dili maayo (like Earthquake).. Always na sila gina remind but they wala silay choice kay wal man silay laing source if income..

I'll pray nalang para nila..

Dahil sa kahirapan, hindi na nila iniisip ung risk para man lng mapakain ang sarili at ang kanilang mga pamilya...

kanang white na 2 storey sa left sa city hall mao na ang City Health building nga hapit na mahuman.:cheers:
Good to see the city hall and plaza being "clean and green" but why is there a fence around the perimeter of the Rizal Monument grounds?. There also seems to be fountains flanking the monument.
