2017-2022 CDP - Jabonga

2017-2022 Comprehensive Development Plan [Updated]
Municipality of Jabonga
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2017-2022 Comprehensive Development Plan [CDP] of the
Municipality of Jabonga is an updated version from the same inclusive EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
years of the implementation period which was crafted during the
previous administration. This is the “updated version” in the sense that
there were identified and planned development priorities during the
previous inclusive years that were not totally accomplished yet they still
have great significance today. This “updated version” is trying to have
all development interventions have its inclusivity streamlining them with Executive Order No.
70, the Whole-of-nation Approach where peace and security and disaster resiliency are
among the priorities of this plan.
THE PEOPLE’S ASPIRATIONS. This document reflects the collective aspirations of the
Habonganons as presented by its Technical Working Group who are deployed among the
five development sectors: social, infrastructure and land use, economic, environment and
institutional during the planning process.
THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIONS. This plan has adopted the following goals which all political
jurisdictions and administrative levels are enjoined to carry in their respective physical
development plans:
a. Rational distribution of the population. This can be achieved through a properly

conceived and designed urban form characterized by such indicators as
concentration without congestion, well-serviced communities in hazard-free
locations, and the like;
b. Access to social services and economic opportunities. This goal is deemed achieved
if appropriate social services are provided in adequate amounts at reasonable
proximity to the intended users, if jobs and livelihood opportunities exist to enable the
people to earn sufficient income to pay for the goods and services they need, and
where opportunities are open to all regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or political
and religious affiliation;
c. Sustainable utilization of resources. Resources are sustainably utilized if food security

is assured for all, when production processes are cost effective, when there is waste
minimization and all forms of wasteful practices carefully avoided, and when every
household, firm or establishment practices recovery, reuse and recycling of waste;
d. Maintenance of environmental integrity. This goal is attained when there is a clear

balance between the built and unbuilt environments, minimized impervious surfaces
in the built-up areas, maximized use of renewable energy, when public and private
places are litter free, and high level of biodiversity in flora and fauna is maintained.
THE POLICY AREAS. In conclusion, this plan provides a general and long-term guide to the
development of the municipality. It provides the policy framework as basis for medium term
and short term plans that may be developed to achieve the desired results in the future.

1.1. Vision Statement

CHAPTER 1
The Vision Statement for the Municipality of Jabonga serves as the
VISION
rallying cry for all Habonganons as they would try to achieve the
desired scenario upon which all major plans and programs are
anchored in on with. It is a refined and updated form of the vision
statement prepared and collectively agreed by the participants of the Comprehensive
Development Planning Writeshop and during formulation of the Executive – Legislative
Agenda [ELA] in 2019:
“A progressive community, with environment-friendly agro-industrial and eco-tourism

based economy, with preserved cultural heritage and hydro-power producer in Caraga,
where peace-loving, healthy, and empowered Habonganons are living in an attractive
and safe environment administered by visionary and transparent leaders.”
1.2. Preferred Role and Position
The desired role of Jabonga is to be the center of agro-industry, eco-tourism, and

renewable [hydro] power in Agusan del Norte.

The realization of the desired future scenario for Jabonga implies that the local leadership
and citizenry will have to take a double-barrelled action, as it were. On one side, they will
seek to overcome the constraints to the growth of the municipality. On the other, they will
have to take advantage of the opportunities for the municipal’s growth.
1.3 Vision Elements, Descriptors and Success Indicators
The vision statement pictures the desired qualities of the municipality in terms of five major
elements namely, the quality of the people as individuals and as society, the nature of the
local economy, the state of the natural environment, the condition of the built environment
and the capability of the local leadership.
Qualities of the people as individuals
a. Habonganons are God-loving. This trait is said to have been attained if the
residents are peaceful, honest, reliable, caring, law abiding, and child-friendly.
Being peaceful would imply having a low number of cases for the Lupong
Tagapamayapa (Barangay Courts) while being honest denotes having
negligible incidence of theft, pilferage, and destruction to property. Caring
would indicate low number of broken families and juvenile delinquents, as well
as, possessing genuine concern for the environment such as garbage being
properly disposed. Law abiding would denote having low crime incidence in
the municipality including insignificant cases of drug abuse. This would also
include the mobilization of citizens’ assistance in crime prevention and
prosecution. The municipality being child friendly would connote no cases of
child abuse or labor and minimal number of out-of-school youth.
b. Habonganons are healthy physically, mentally and emotionally. Being in good

shape would mean longer life expectancy, zero malnutrition, low morbidity,
sports-oriented, drug-free and possessing good/average emotional and
intelligence quotients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c. Habonganons are well-informed. This characteristic is described as having high
literacy rate, average family income above poverty level, and stable
employment. It also includes being highly competitive, creative and innovative.
Qualities of the people as society
a. Habonganons are empowered. This is said to have been achieved when public
consultation has been made an integral part of the decision-making process
and that non-government organizations including people’s organizations,
regularly participate in the planning, implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of government programs and projects. Likewise, there is vigorous
advocacy for public interest issues such as human rights, social justice,
consumer protection, gender equality, environmental concerns and the like.
b. Habonganons are vigilant. This is attained when Jabonga folk are transformed
into a disaster-prepared citizenry where the government, private sector and
civil society resources are immediately mobilized in time of crisis/emergency.
Further, graft and corruption are pre-empted and prevented.
c. Habonganons are self-reliant due to having been able to provide the basic
needs of their respective families and that there is insignificant number of
families below poverty threshold.
Nature of the local economy
Jabonga’s economy is envisioned to be environment-friendly agri-based economy.

This can be attained first of all through the establishment of an economic climate
that will encourage inflow of investments. And, second, because Jabonga wants to
be known not only nationally but also globally as the leading tourist haven and
power producer, the municipal government must establish a competitive and
environmentally sustainable agri-eco-tourism master plan.
Jabonga must always be environment-friendly in its economic development

programs and projects. Protection of its lake and terrestrial biodiversity and its
critical habitat through the implementation of sustainable development programs
and projects intersecting different sectors must be equally-prioritized. The
municipality must be able to rationalize its utilization of surface waters for its fish-
based livelihood and regulate the usage of synthetic fertilizers for its grain-coco-
banana-high value commercial crops production. Likewise, future
manufacturing/processing industries as well as trade, commercial and service
activities should be regulated not to contribute to the degradation of the
environment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State of the natural environment
a. One of the unpleasant realities that municipal dwellers face is perennial

flooding and rain-induced landslides. A safe environment would translate to a
municipality where mitigating measures for disasters are in-placed. The
municipality will also become even safer without illegal settlements
encroaching on environmentally-critical areas.
b. Moreover, Habonganons desire to live in an attractive environment. Toward this

end they intend to have high density of greens - even within the urban
core/development clusters, by intensifying forest land use development plans
and programs. This will be initiated by the formulation of the comprehensive
Forest Land Use Plan [FLUP]. The general status of the natural environment has
obviously worsened. Because of this realization, Habonganons envision their
natural environment to be restored, developing its natural resources thru
rational utilization of its full potential as described in the table below.
Descriptor and Success Indicators
DESCRIPTOR SUCCESS INDICATOR
 Ecologically-  Critical habitats well-protected

balanced  Migratory path of municipal waters is
established
 KBA/PA is rehabilitated
 Usage of municipal waters is regulated
 Safe  Reduced # of people affected by natural
and man-made calamities
 Eradicated/eliminated schisto-infested
areas
 Restored cropping pattern
Condition of the built environment
a. Respecting a balanced relationship between the built and the unbuilt

environments will fulfil the right of every Habonganon to a clean, green and
healthy place to live in. This condition is said to have been attained when the
built environment is integrated into the municipal’s unbuilt space consisting of
parks and open spaces, rivers, creeks and swamps, croplands, beach and
coastal areas. When productive sources of food and economy such as Lake
Mainit, marine waters and croplands are delineated and protected and when
standards on open space requirements such as those pertaining to housing
development, road and river easements, salvage zones, and utility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lines/facilities among others are strictly complied with, every Habonganon will
then be brought several steps closer to their desired condition of the built
environment.
b. Creating a well-informed community supported by adequate and appropriate

transport and infrastructure will enable every Habonganon to hurdle life’s daily
rigors between workplace, home and recreation, delivering farm produce to
the market in a relaxed, worry-free and effortless manner. A fundamental
requirement to attain this desired condition is to identify and develop suitable
areas for urban expansion in the form of mixed-use growth loops. Other success
indicators include:
1) Increased efficiency of the circulation network with new roads and bridges
constructed, existing ones rehabilitated, the public transport system
rationalized, and efficiently provided with transport terminal;
2) Improved and undisturbed mobility of pedestrians through the provision of

pedestrian-oriented facilities such as sidewalks, waiting sheds, etc.;
3) Improved quality and quantity, and affordability of water supply, power

supply, telecommunications and internet services; and
4) Adequate and effective drainage, sewerage and flood control systems.
c. Taking into consideration the natural limits and constraints inherent to the land
resource of the municipality due to its natural terrain, a desired condition of the
built environment is the development of safe forms and settlement patterns
away from identified environmentally-critical areas and resource reserves such
as wetlands and swamps. As for existing built-up areas, appropriate measures
will be adopted to reduce structural vulnerability and social risks specifically
eliminate informal settlers providing resettlement sites.
Capability of the local leadership
The people of Jabonga desire to have local leaders who are firm, decent,
progressive and transparent. These desired qualities of local governance are
anchored in on shared values committed to promoting the public interest. This
means that local leaders whether from the Municipal Government of Jabonga, the
non-government organizations or civil society organizations are determined to put
the interest or welfare of the people above their selfish interests. In concrete terms,
the people of Jabonga would like to experience the following effects of firm,
decent, progressive local governance and administration :
a. Strict enforcement of laws
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 6
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laws are rules of conduct established and enforced by authorities supported by

the people. Through a process of decentralization, the Municipal Government
of Jabonga is the local government structure instituted by the State to perform
functions and responsibilities as well as exercise powers and authority at their
mandated territorial and political jurisdiction. This entails an unwavering
commitment to enforce laws at all times and at all costs.
b. Morally upright and competent Government Officials
Jabonga is not spared of the public perception that graft and corrupt practices
are prevalent. Negative public perception adversely affects the local
bureaucracy in terms of productivity, efficiency and effectiveness in their
performance of functions or delivery of services. To dispel their negative image,
the Municipal Government needs to have morally upright and competent civil
servants who are committed to put public interest at the forefront at all times.
c. Self-reliant LGU, less dependent on IRA
The local government units are empowered to become self-reliant communities

and to act as effective partners in the attainment of national goals. The
Municipal Government of Jabonga has the capacity to maximize its income
through progressive means that are practical and equitable and thus reduce
the municipal’s reliance on the national government.
d. Financially-stable Municipal Government
Apart from maintaining financial stability through a sustained positive balance in

its financial statement, the Municipal Government must also adopt a progressive
fiscal policy. This means that it should not simply be active in acquiring more
assets and maintaining a good cash position from increased local revenues but
also taking progressive steps in applying other options, enjoining private
participation in order to achieve bigger goals and objectives thru extensively
maximizing the essence of its inherent corporate powers.
e. Effective, efficient and responsive Municipal Government
The people of Jabonga hope to have an effective, efficient and responsive

Municipal Government. Effectiveness means that the Municipal Government is
able to deliver appropriate services if and when needed. Efficiency relates to
the economy in time and cost in delivering public services. Responsiveness refers
to the relevance and timeliness of the local government’s response to problems
as they arise.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 7
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
f. Strengthened local government capability
The Municipal Government of Jabonga is a capable local government

institution. However, there are some areas of local governance that need to be
strengthened such as the technical capability of its human resources and
system capability of its organizational structure in response to its fiscal
operations. This could be tangibly assessed thru the effective implementation of
the Strategic Performance Management System for its human resource
development and management.
g. Disaster-prepared LGU and citizenry
Jabonga is known to be located in an environmentally-critical area. However,

the occurrence, frequency and magnitude of natural disasters are
unpredictable. Therefore, it is imperative for the Municipal Government and
citizenry of Jabonga to be prepared at all times.
h. Strengthened LGU-NGO/PO linkage
The Non-Governmental Organizations and Peoples’ Organizations/Civil Society

Organizations [POs/CSOs] are recognized as active partners of the Municipal
Government of Jabonga in the pursuit of local autonomy and good
governance. A strengthened LGU-NGO/PO/CSO linkage would help Jabonga
to effectively and efficiently deliver services, develop programs and projects,
improve local productivity and income, spur rural development, promote
ecological balance, and enhance the economic and social well-being of the
people.
2. Development Goals
Jabonga has achieved the rational and optimum utilization of land and water resources
converted into a fully developed, life-sustaining and climate change adaptive and resilient
agro-industrial and eco-tourism based economy with improved infrastructure and utilities
managed by firm, decent, progressive and transparent governance for effective and
efficient delivery of basic social services.

Historical Development Trends CHAPTER 2
2.1. Geo-Physical Trend THE PROFILE
On July 1, 1921, by virtue of the Executive Order No. 18 dated April 25,
1921 by Acting Governor General Charles E. Yeater, Jabonga became a regular and
independent town. This was during the American occupation. Though it was only in 1921
when Jabonga became an independent town, Spanish Archives had Jabonga long been
mentioned, Jabonga already exists. In the 1580’s, the King of Spain conferred an
Encomienda status to Jabonga whose administration, control and collection of
corresponding taxes were entrusted to an Encomiendero, Don Agustin de Cepeda,. While
working with the missionaries, he assisted on the conversion of the natives from Paganism to
Christianism.
Jabonga’s early settlement was historically located along the banks of Rio de Zampojar -
the Kalinawan River presently - situated at present-day Barangay Colorado – the early
mission station of the missionaries of the Order of Augustinian Recollects (OAR). This was
established in 1622, under the dispensation of the Saint Joseph Parish in Butuan City,
whereby assigning Jabonga their religious mission station.
In the late 17th century, Muslim Outlaws, called “Moros”, attacked Jabonga for several
occasions. In 1788, Fr. Marcos de Guadalupe, the missionary assigned in Jabonga, fled to
the mountains away from the Moro bandits. The “Moros”, aside of their religious crusades
against Christians, came to Jabonga for quest of crocodiles since they swarm the Lake
Mainit – the 4th largest inland body of water in the Philippines. And historically most matter-
of-factly, their hunt for the church bell that has an amplifying and echoing ring that
reaches even to the westernmost part of Mindanao.
Manifestation of hollowed out relics and artifacts dated during the Ming Dynasty at
Colorado and its adjacent community currently known as Barangay Magsaysay
ascertained that pre-Spanish settlement also believed existed along the banks of
Kalinawan River with thriving economic activities. The existence of Lake Mainit and the
Kalinawan River provide strategic proofs on the existence of pre-hispanic civilization thriving
within the early Jabonga settlement since major geographical highways of early
commerce and trade are oceans, seas, lakes and rivers. And, since Kalinawan River, the
only outlet of Lake Mainit which passes within the Municipality of Santiago and extends
down to the Municipality of Tubay before diffusing at Butuan Bay, believed once served as
the only course available of early Chinese merchants from mainland Surigao thru the rest of
Northeastern Mindanao and the rest of the Mindanao.
Fragments of Chinese and Spanish-dated ornaments and relics are believed be found,
kept and preserved at the Parochial Museum and the Catholic Diocesan Museum at Saint
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joseph Parish, Butuan City, which is also thought as to where a number of Jabonga
Church’s religious relics such as wooden baptismal font, 6 feet tall wooden candelabras,
carved Confessional Cubicle pillars, silver and brass church bells among others can be
found.
In 1876, after a shattering typhoon that devastated most of the early settlement of
Jabonga, Fr. Saturnino Urios impelled Habonganons to scout for grounds with higher
elevation to have the permanent resettlement location of the church. Together with this
was the transfer of the town to the present day location, the Poblacion.
At its present location, the Church of the Our Lady of the Assumption is considered as one
of the oldest church in Caraga Region. Its interior magnificence are magnified by its floor to
ceiling carve wooden retablo, its Magcono or the “Iron Wood” posts, beams and trusses,
intricately carve pulpit with canopy. This church serves as historical landmark/heritage of
the Habonganons constructed on 1876.
2.2. Demographics Trend
This year, 2015, Jabonga is already 432 years of its existence. It has fifteen [15] barangays –
four [4] are on the western part situated along Butuan Bay: Barangays Sto. Niño,
Magdagooc, San Jose and San Vicente, five [5] are situated along the shoreline of Lake
Mainit: Barangays Bunga, San Pablo, Poblacion, Colorado and Magsaysay, five [5] are
along the Maharlika National Highway: Barangays Libas, Bangonay, Cuyago, Baleguian
and A. Beltran, and one [1] upland barangay: Maraiging, which is geographically located
on the southeastern part.
Table below shows that this population occupies only 28.59% of the total land area of
Jabonga and wherein Barangay Maraiging is the least densely populated barangay and
of the rural barangays, Barangay A. Beltran is the most densely populated having the
smallest land area among the 15 barangays but with population that constitutes only 5.12%
of the total population. The second least densely populated barangay is Bangonay due to
its being the biggest share of the land area which comprises 31.26% of the total land area
of Jabonga.

migration can be even higher than 2021 27136 3726 1.5
its birth rate mainly due to the lack of
employment opportunities and the variability of its economic activities brought about
by damaging impact of natural hazards.
Given that at the current growth rate (1.3%)/annum, population size is projected to
increase to 27,136 by 2021.

Though the population growth rate from the 1980s up to 2011 is relatively low which
only have an aggregate rate of 1.52%, this configuration would have an imminent
increasing value in 2021. And, again, this could not be attributed solely to projected
increased of birth rate complemented with decreasing death rate and increased life
expectancy rate.
Primarily, 75-80% of this projected population by 2021 is imputed with the influx of in-
migration and the decreasing trend of out-migration. This is because of the
employment opportunities offered by Jabonga due to increased economic activities
brought by increased demand of public services and light industrial investments.
Income and Poverty Incidence
The 2011 Community-based Monitoring System [CBMS] survey result portray the
impoverished state of economy of the municipality, with the majority of the total
population living under the poverty threshold based on Caraga Region Standard. But
this has decreased by 6.05% compared that in 2008 which has a poverty incidence of
80.90%. Based on the aggregate 3-year computation, it is derived that there was a
yearly decrease of 2.02% of poverty incidence in the municipality as reflected in table
below.

With the assumption of a decreasing state of poverty incidence by 2.02% annually from
2008 up to 2011, and projecting it to be constant up to 2021, it is then projected that by
2021 Jabonga will have a poverty incidence of 54.65% - a 20.20% 10-year aggregate
decrease. This was further reduced by 40.8 % in 2013 considering that Jabonga had a
poverty incidence of 44.35%.

3. SECTORAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS
CHAPTER 3
3.1. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN SECTORAL

DEV’T PLAN
This component of the CDP aims to improve the state of physical and
social well-being of local population by enhancing the quality of social
services in health, education, welfare and protective services. Concerns on equity, social
justice, gender concerns and those of vulnerable groups, cultural preservation and
enrichment are also addressed in this sectoral plan.
3.1.1. Health Sector Profile
The Municipal Health Office (MHO) directly provides basic health services to the people
covering primary health care such as maternal and child care, family planning, nutrition,
immunization program, micronutrient supplementation, communicable and non-
communicable disease control services, dental care services, environmental sanitation and
health education. The Rural Health Units of the municipality are composed of one Main
Health Center and nine Barangay Health Stations (BHS). The Main Health Center (MHC)
serves the whole municipality and is under administrative and technical supervision of the
LGU. The MHC is a Basic Emergency Maternal and Obstetrical New Born Care (BEMONC)
facility and complies to PhilHealth accreditation standards for OPB package, maternity
care package and TB-DOTS package. The MHC is located in the urban center at Poblacion
just adjacent with the 15-bed Jabonga Community Infirmary.
Health human resources of the MHO is composed of one medical doctor, two nurses, nine
rural health midwives, one medical technologist, one rural sanitary inspector, one dentist
and one dental aide. The pool of volunteers composed of 170 Barangay Health Workers
(BHWs), 134 Women Health Teams and 54 Barangay Nutrition Scholars assists the LGU
medical personnel in the delivery of community health services. 1 The following tables
shows the actual number of health personnel vis-à-vis WHO standards:

Incidence of malnutrition is at 12.64% among 0-5 years old and 13.78% among 6-12 years
old children in 20152. Among other health development indicator is infant mortality rate is
12.4% in 2014, child mortality rate is 8.9% in 2013, and 0% maternal mortality rate in the past
two years. A total of 99% of births in the municipality are delivered in health facilities in 2015.
The following table shows health indicators over the years:

Eight of the ten leading cause of death in 2013 are non-communicable in etiology. Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular diseases, septicemia and diabetes
are the leading non-communicable diseases. The lingering problem on infectious diseases
like tuberculosis and pneumonia is still evident as they ranked 7th and 8th in the leading
causes of death in 2014 and 1st and 7th in 2012. Deaths from external cause are from
accidents which ranked 6th in 2013 and 3rd in 2014.
Four of the ten leading cause of morbidity of all ages in 2014 are non-communicable and
four are infectious diseases. Hypertension, intestinal parasitism, asthma and urinary tract
infection are the leading non-communicable disease. Infectious diseases like acute
respiratory infection, acute gastroenteritis, pneumonia and tuberculosis ranked 1st, 6th 7th
and 8th respectively. Three of the leading causes of morbidity namely intestinal parasitism,
skin problem and acute gastroenteritis can be attributed to sanitary conditions.
The rise in non-communicable diseases along with the existing prevalence of infectious
diseases indicates that Jabonga has a double burden of disease. This disease pattern
indicates that even as degenerative diseases and other lifestyle-related illnesses are
increasing, communicable diseases are still widely prevalent.

3.1.3. Social Welfare
Sector Profile
Social welfare and development concerns are directed towards improving the quality of
life of the poor and disadvantage sectors. Several programs ranging from nutrition, health
care, shelter, livelihood and employment assistance and initiatives for the welfare and
protection of children, women, elderly, disabled and other disadvantage sectors of society
and relief and rehabilitation during disasters are done by the Municipal Social Welfare and
Development Office and local NGOs. There are 24 Day Care Centers in the municipality
operated and maintained by the barangays Day Care Workers in all 15 barangays.
Poverty remains the main development challenge in the municipality. The proportion of
households with income below poverty line is 44% in 2013, which is way much lower
compared to 74% in 2003. The highest proportion of poor households can be found in San
Pablo, Bunga, Maraiging, Santo Nino, San Jose, San Vicente and Magdagooc. The lowest
proportion of poor households is in PObalcion, Colorado, Baleguian, Cuyago and LIbas.
The highest numbers of documented poor household are from Santo Nino and Maraiging.
In 2016, there are 3,760 4P’s household beneficiaries in the municipality which is 33% of the
total households.
There are 358 documented indigenous people (IP) households composed of 1,784 persons
in 2014 located in barangays Bangonay, Colorado, Cuyago, Baleguian, Maraiging, San
Pablo, Bunga, and San Vicente. In 2016, there are 401 documented persons with
disabilities, 122 solo parents, 50 VAWC victims and 5 children in conflict with law. The
proportion of households who are informal settlers and living in makeshift shelter are 3.2%
and 5.6% respectively.
A total of 5,077 households were recorded in the municipality in 2015. For the same censal
year, there are estimated 163 unacceptable housing units and 121 makeshift housing units.
An estimated 3.18% of housing units need tenure improvement. Also, 13.7% of housing units
are made up of makeshift materials and therefore needs structural improvement. In terms
of tenurial status of the 5,077 housing units in 2015, 85.87% are owned/being amortized,
9.53% are rent-free with consent of the owner, 2.7% are rented while 0.47% are rent-free
without the consent of owner.
Population growth and displaced households pushes the housing sub-sector to a critical
situation. Jabonga has a deficiency of 1,031 dwelling units in 2015. The backlog covers the
74 units doubled-up households, the displaced households that need to be relocated as
they are in risk areas (761 units), public lands (180 units) and road easements (16 units). Add
to this backlog is the cumulative total of 1,350 units that are needed for future population
growth up to 2024. The total summary of new units needed up to the year 2024 is estimated
to be 2,381.

3.2 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Although is not the mandate of government to engage in business in general, it is

nevertheless the responsibility of the government to ensure that that the local economy is in
a sound state of health. The state of the local economy determines family income and
employment and hence, the well-being of its residents. The economic development plan
embodies measures which the local government intends to implement to support the
sector and to create a favorable climate for public investments. Such local measures
include a combination of policies and public investments necessary to enable private
investment to flourish and assure the residents of steady supply of goods, adequate food,
services and jobs and household income. The status of the local economy also determines
to a large extent the amount of locally derived revenues of the LGU. The cross-sectoral
issue on disaster risk reduction and management and climate change adaptation are also
discussed in this sector.
3.2.1. Agriculture
Sector Profile
The local economy of Jabonga is basically agricultural and fishery. Fishery in the sense that
Jabonga has fresh water lake [lake mainit] and marine water [butuan bay]. About 46% of
gainful workers rely on crop production and farm labor for livelihood and sustenance.
Agricultural lands comprise 37.94% of the total land area of the municipality or an
approximate area of 11,116 hectares. Coconut occupies about 60.8% of the total
agricultural lands, followed by fruit trees at 20.9%, while other crops occupies only an
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 40
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aggregate total of approximately 19%. The total peso-value of the agricultural crop
production in 2016 was estimated at 340.7 million pesos.
Jabonga is ranks third in terms of rice area in Agusan del Norte behind the Municipalities of
REmedios Trinidad Romualdez [RTR] and Buenavista, but rank second in terms of production
behind RTR. Palay production in the locality, ranked second in terms of value annually
behind that of coconut. In 2016, a total of 8,112 metric tons of palay was produced where
the average yield per hectare per year is 7,640 kilograms. The supply of palay is sufficient
enough to meet the demand of the population with surplus being shipped-out and sold to
neighboring municipalities, provinces and regions.
Coconut, the local commercial export crop, ranks first in terms of volume produced.
Coconut constitutes 29.76% of the total estimated peso-value of the entire agricultural
crops produced and the yield is estimated at 8,112 metric tons of copra in 2016. Banana ,
abaca, corn and fruit trees combined for 30 million in terms of peso-value 8.0 per cent of
the total crop production value.

Fishery, both inland and marine, as one of the major sources of income and family
sustenance had an annual volume of catch, in 2016, of 326,149.1 metric tons - 113,079.0
for marine, and, 213,070.1 for inland - with an estimated value of Php19,699,865.00. This
production value has been crediting the contribution of an export enterprise located in
Barangay Colorado.
Various support infrastructures to agriculture are in place catering to the needs of farmers
and agricultural workers. Farm mechanization program was intensified in 2008 including the
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 41
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
establishment of Farm Level Grain Center with multi-pass rice mill and farm tractors.
Agricultural farms facilities are mostly for palay, corn and coconut production and
processing. These include hand tractors, sprayers, irrigation system, solar and mechanical
dryers, threshers, rice mills and storage facilities, and farm-to-market roads.
Poultry and livestock are secondary sources of income of most farming families in Jabonga.
Swine and chicken whether native or hybrid is raised by more families compared to the
other species of livestock and fowls. Swine are usually grown in the backyard for very small-
scale commercial purposes with breeding stocks ranging from 2 to less than 7 breeders. The
present cattle population in the municipality is still very miniscule. Carabaos are usually
raised and utilized for farm labor as substitute to tractors but there are those who sell
carabaos to traders. Native and hybrid chicken are either raised for household
consumption or sold in the neighborhood or in the market whenever the family is in need of
additional cash. Few families raise goats and other domestic food animals either for
commercial or domestic consumptions. The total peso-value of livestock and poultry
production in 2016 is estimated at P 15,337,950. There were 3,709 swine, 24,323 chickens,
5,471 ducks, 384 carabaos, 127 goats, 55 heads of sheep and 110 cattle produced.
Swine production is being augmented with artificial breeding center while farming
technology is being complemented with Climate Resiliency Field School and with Organic
Fertilizer Production for gradually shifting to organic rice, corn and vegetable production
options.

Tourism industry is considered one of the best suited industries in Jabonga aside from agro-
industry and renewable energy generation.
Jabonga has many potential tourist spots and destinations varying from natural parks, hot
and cold springs, viewing areas and historical landmark. These are aside from being
associated with Lake Mainit Key Biodiversity Area [LMKBA] since Jabonga occupies 7,235
hectares or 51.16% of lake water, which has a total area of 14,142 hectares. The famous
tourism attractions in the municipality are the Pio Monton Great Lake Resort that features
hostel, function rooms, cottages, floating restaurants and water sports facilities such as
banana boats and jetskis, the Our Lady of the Assumption Roman Catholic, acknowledged
as one of the oldest church in Caraga Region by the Papal Nuncio in 1998 being built in
1876. Considered as very potential for tourist attractions and could generate huge tourist
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 50
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
arrivals is the Top Ridge viewing park which is best suitable for adventure and “glamping”
tourism activities since one can have a panoramic view of Lake Mainit and the Butuan Bay.
Other possible natural attractions are the Lambingan Falls, Beto Wall Diving Spot, Taginis
Rock Formation and white sand beach.
This tourism industry is being intensified with the impending proposal to Congress to declare
Jabonga as the Historico-Adventure Tourism Development Area in Agusan del Norte. The
local tourism industry has a great potential for economic contribution since ecological
tourism is the trend worldwide. Given the variety of natural tourist spots in the municipality
and its strategic location, Jabonga can be a convergence area of both foreign and
domestic tourists and visitors. This is on top of rippling or multiplier effects for agro-industrial
development since this is being complemented with two [2] hydro power energy projects.
The goal of the secondary and tertiary sector of the economy is the General Welfare Goal
of enhancement of economic prosperity and promotion of full employment. For the tourism
sub-sector, the goal is to develop an environmentally and socially responsible tourism that
delivers more widely distributed income and opportunities. And, the general objectives are
to:
• Increase number of services providers and industry establishment

• Increase tourist arrivals
• Increase local revenues
• Increase number of skilled manpower
Specific Objectives/Targets
• To streamline business and permits licensing processes

• To conduct local investment promotions activities
• To provide support to micro, small and medium enterprises
• To develop and market competitive tourist products and destinations
• To improve tourism market access, connectivity and destination infrastructure
• To improve tourism institutional governance and human resource capacities
• To develop necessary skilled workforce requirement for local enterprises and tourism
sector
• To increase occupancy of market stalls
• To improve local economic enterprise operations
 To sustain the promotion of Jabonga’s cultural heritage

2.2.3. Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Climate and Rainfall Pattern
The Municipality of Jabonga is characterized with type IV climate, with evenly distributed
rainfall all year round (PAGASA-Butuan), and is within the typhoon built area.
Figure 3: Average daily Rainfall with 2020 and 2050 Projections
PAGASA Butuan Office (2010)
Observed (2010, PAGASA-Butuan) average daily rainfall showed heavy downpours (at
13.5mm) on the period of October to December, daily average mean temperature is at its
peak in January and February (26°C), daily average of maximum temperature at 34.0°C in
June, and the observed highest percentage of relative humidity was registered at 89.0% in
the month of January and February, and the lowest percentage at 81.5% in the month of
May.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 53
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 4: Daily Average Mean Temperature with 2020 and 2050 Projections
PAGASA Butuan (2010)
It is observed that at least once a year the municipality of Jabonga experiences a 24-hour
rainfall at >299mm. At this instance flooding always occurs heavily affecting ten [10]
barangays – Barangays Bunga, San Pablo, Poblacion, Colorado, Magsaysay, Cuyago,
Baleguian, Libas, Bangonay and A. Beltran. The months of January to February register the
highest rainfall amount reaching 13.0mm. This went down to an average of 4.0mm during
the months of March to September. From October down to December the rainfall amount
averaged to 6.0mm. The total average rainfall for the whole year was estimated at
6.15mm. It is during this heavy downpour when erosions and landslides occur. This typically
happens in the barangays situated at the foot of Malimono Ridge – Bunga, San Pablo,
Poblacion, Santo Niño, Magdagooc, San Jose, and San Vicente. The worst ever happened
erosion was in 1995 at Sitio Pitogo of Barangay Santo Niño that affected all institutional
structures except the Primary School Building and 30% of 29 houses were buried half.
Jabonga always experience cyclones/ typhoons due to its geographical location which is
along the typhoon built area, specifically those coming from Surigao del Norte and Surigao
del Sur. Based on the record, the municipality has experienced five [5] super typhoons from
year 1964 to 1994.
Daily Average Relative Humidity
The observed highest percentage of relative humidity was registered at 89.0% in the month
of January and February, and the lowest percentage at 81.5% in the month of May.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 54
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 5: Daily Average Relative Humidity with 2020 and 2050 Projections
PAGASA Butuan (2010)
It is projected that by 2020, the highest percentage of relative humidity will be at 88.0% in
the months of January and December, and the lowest at 79.0% in the month of April.
By 2050, it is expected that the highest relative humidity would likely reduce to 87.0% in
January and the lowest point would be at 77.0% on the month of May.
Hazard
Two identified fault lines traverse Jabonga [as shown in the Hazard Map] – one crosses
along the Kalinawan River then passes along the western lakeshore of Lake Mainit where
Barangays Poblacion, San Pablo and Bunga are situated and towards the Municipality of
Mainit, and the other one traverses in the middle of Jabonga through the National
Highway towards the Municipality of Kitcharao.
Tremors are one of the identified hazards that Jabonga has been experiencing and of
having threats with aside from flooding and landslides. Though there had been no adverse
effects that resulted to a calamity brought by earthquakes, there is an imminent threat
though of major landslide at the northwestern portion of Poblacion.
The most threat of vulnerability that Jabonga is perennially dealing with is the flooding. This
is due to its topographical location that it lies south of Lake Mainit and where the
Kalinawan River, the only main outlet of the Lake could not singly manage to drain the
huge volume of run-off water from over 100 lake’s tributaries towards the Butuan Bay
specifically during 5-7 days of heavy downpour. This always stemmed the rise of lake water
and subsequently caused flooding.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 55
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 9. Hazard Map
Flooding
Jabonga lies at the lower portion of Lake Mainit which is the catch basin of the run-off
water of approximately 100 rivers and creeks from the four [4] municipalities surrounding it:
Jabonga, Kitcharao, Alegria and Mainit. It is prone to perennial flooding.
When flooding occurs, 86.15% of the total land area of Jabonga or 25,242 hectares would
not be affected. This is because this area is having a slope of above 5%. This certain area
is located within barangays Maraiging, A. Beltran, Baleguian, Cuyago, Bangonay, Libas,
Colorado, Poblacion, San Pablo, Bunga, Santo Niño, Magdagooc, San Jose and San
Vicente.
Flood occurrence in the municipality has been experienced almost every year that lasted
for 3-4 months. This regularly happens during the months of November to February, largely
covering ten (10) out the fifteen barangays (i.e. Poblacion, Cuyago, Magsaysay, Colorado,
Baleguian, A. Beltran, San Pablo, Bunga, Libas and Bangonay), and severely affecting six
(6) of the seven (7) rice producing barangays [Magsaysay, Libas, Cuyago, Baleguian, A.
Beltran and Colorado] as presented in the Hazard Map.
Aside from rice production area, corn, banana and other high-value commercial crops
production areas that are severely affected along with a considerable magnitude of
households and lifelines. These production areas constitute the 12.31% of the total land
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page | 56
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
area of Jabonga or roughly 3,607 hectares that are mostly and insistently affected by
flooding.
During the occurrence of flood, 54.38% (or 2,619 has.) of the agricultural production area is
adversely affected, including 310 hectares of irrigated rice fields. Losses to yield due to
typhoons and flooding registered an average of 33% in the past seven years (2003-2009),
largely in the rainfed areas, with minimum damage in the irrigated areas. Coconut areas
were moderately affected.
Destruction of houses, buildings, government facilities, irrigations, farm to market roads,

culvert and other facilities were quite significant during occurrence of hazards. In 2006,
there were reports of 5 lives lost due to drowning in a flash flood in Barangay Magsaysay.
Almost annually around 100 families (2%) in Barangays Magsaysay, Colorado, and
Poblacion were forced to evacuate as their houses submerged when flood water rose.
Children and elderly were commonly affected with diarrhea, coughs, colds and fever
inside the evacuation centers. Minimal harvest and inadequacy of food stocks had
resulted to financial losses in the inundated communities causing starvation aggravated by
the increase on the cost of basic commodities and inhibition of livelihood.
Erosion
55.21% of the total land area of Jabonga or 16,176 hectares is prone to severe erosion. This
area covers 13 of the 15 barangays of Jabonga – Maraiging, Baleguian, Cuyago,
Bangonay, Libas, Colorado, Poblacion, San Pablo, Bunga, Santo Niño, Magdagooc, San
Jose and San Vicente. An area of 8,566 hectares constituting 29.24% of the total land area
is classified as moderately erosion-prone area.

Vicente. While an area of 1,166 hectares which is 3.98% of the total land area is usually
prone to slight erosion. This is situated in barangays San Vicente, Bunga and Libas.
An area of 3,392 hectares experiences no erosion. This constitutes just 11.58% of the total
land area of Jabonga. This area lies in barangays Libas, Colorado, Magsaysay, San
Vicente, Baleguian, Bangonay, Cuyago, Poblacion.

2.2.4. Climate Change Adaptation
Current and Future Climate Risks
Indicated in the results of extreme daily temperature and rainfall- trends analysis is that the
number of hot days and warm nights are increasing, with the number of cool days and
cold night decreasing. Total rainfall shows an increasing trend, with also an increase in the
number or frequency and intensity of extreme rain events. These indicate increasing
maximum and minimum temperatures coupled with increasing rainfall and thus increasing
flooding risk. Climate expert identified the following future risks:
• Substantially increased rainfall, especially during the southwest monsoon (June to

August), more flooding, particularly from June to August and even September,
• Longer dry seasons with even less rainfall than at present level
• Higher temperatures, bringing more evaporation and increased water requirements
• Rain-fed agricultural areas will be severely affected
• Harvested/collected rainwater will become less and groundwater sources will become
lower
• Standing crops could be unable to withstand flooding during the wetter southwest
monsoon months
The goal of the local climate change action plan is to enhance the adaptive capacity of
communities, resilience of natural ecosystems, and sustainability of built environment to
climate change. The general objectives for each strategic priority are to:
• Ensure availability, stability, accessibility and affordability of safe and healthy food
• Ensure that water resources are sustainable managed and with equitable access
• Enhance resilience and stability of natural systems and communities
• Reduce risk from climate and disasters
• To develop promote and sustain climate change-resilient, eco-efficient and environment-
friendly industries and services, and sustainable town

3.3. INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
This sectoral plan deals with the infrastructure building programs of the local government.
The plan plays a dual role in local development: it lays the physical base for the economic
development of the municipality as well as provides the infrastructure support requirements
of the social sector.
Sector Profile
The existing road networks of Jabonga provide access to all its rural barangays to the
urban center. The Maharlika Highway is a main road artery linking the municipality to other
places in the Philippines. The existing roads are classified into national, provincial, municipal
and barangay roads. The national road has a length of 22.155 kilometers stretching from
Libas in the south to A. Beltran in the north and from Bangonay NRJ towards west-north-
west going to Municipality of Mainit of Surigao del Norte is the secondary national highway,
the Lake Mainit Circumferential Road, with a distance of 23 km. and due further west from
the Barangay Poblacion down to the coastal area, the Western Agusan – Surigao Coastal
Road with a total length of 15 km. both due south and north or going to Tubay, Agusan del
Norte and going to Malimono, Surigao del Norte.
As to the type of road surface in 2014, 100% of the national roads are Portland Cement
Concrete Pavement (PCCP) and with Asphalt Armoring at Maharlika Highway. The whole
length of the provincial roads and municipal roads are concreted. Only 58.3% of barangay
roads are concreted while the remaining 41.7% are unpaved with gravel and earth
surfacing. There are fifteen 15 bridges in the municipality and majority of which is along the
national roads. Eleven bridges are permanent concrete bridges and four are spillways
reinforced by culverts. Majority of the bridges has 15-ton load capacity.
The mode of transportation in the inter-barangay mobility of people and products are
mainly tricycles, jeepneys. Tricycles are the most common mode of public transportation in
the town proper. A road network system connects almost all the barangays to the
Maharlika Highway and other national roads traversing the town. Land transportation
