The San Matias Parish Church (Spanish: Iglesia Parroquial de San Matías),
commonly known as Tumauini Church, is a Roman Catholic church in the
municipality of Tumauini, Isabela, Philippines, within the jurisdiction of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Ilagan. It became a separate parish independent
from Cabagan under the advocacy of Saint Matthias in 1751.

HISTORY
The first church made of nipa and other light materials was built by
the Dominican priest Francisco Nuñez in 1707, and dedicated to Saint
Matthias. Tumauini became an independent parish from Cabagan in 1751. The
current church was built under the auspices of another Dominican, Domingo Forto, in
1783 and later continued by the priest Antonio Herrera in 1788. In constructing the
church, Forto hired artisans from as far south as Pampanga. It was completed in
1805.
The church was damaged during the Second World War; a faithful reconstruction
programme followed, with undamaged parts of the church building retained.

FEATURES
Tumauini is an ultra-baroque church known for its extensive use of red bricks on its
exterior and interior ornamentations. Brick was used due to lack of good quality
stones in the area. The church building is made entirely of ornately designed red
bricks in its façade and its interior walls. A closer look at the brick façade shows
numbers and dates for the correct sequence of the bricks in Forto's design. The
façade is flanked by two pseudo-Corinthian columns and niches, one located above
the entrance and the two remaining larger niches on each side of the columns. The
church's circular pediment is unique relative to all other churches built during
the Spanish Era.

CAMP SAMAL LEISURE PARK AND TRAINING CENTER
The area now known as Camp Samal used to be the camp of guerillas in 1945
during the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines. The name is derived from the
first syllable of the surname of the spouse-donors, Ricardo C. Sadornas and
Purification Malana. Originally, the area of the camp was only two hectares donated
to the Boy Scouts of the Philippines in 1954. An additional 46.7889 hectares were
donated by the couple on November 15, 1977 and the deed of donation was formally
received by the Jamboree Organizing Committee through the Provincial Governor on
December 12, 1977. An area of 60.2111hectares of public land had also been
segregated to bring the total area of the camp to 107 hectares. It is located at the
eastern outskirts of Tumauini on elevated mass of rolling hills 500 feet above sea
level. It is endowed with natural spring, evergreen grasses, trees and shrubs. It
10
overlooks the Cagayan River, the Pinacanauan River, the town of Tumauini itself,
the municipality of Delfin Albano, and the Sierra Mountain ranges.

The historic Camp Samal was the site of the National Jamboree in 1977 and is the
home of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. After the holding of the National
Jamboree, the camp slept for 26 years until the assumption of Arnold S. Bautista in
July 2001 as Municipal Mayor, who drew out the support of the government and
private sectors for its restoration and development. It is still the favourite destination
of the Boy Scout and Girl Scouts of the Philippines for their annual district and
provincial encampments. It hosted another big event which is the 5th Northeastern
Luzon Regional and Ilocos Region Invitational Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of the
Philippines held last November 25 – 30, 2004 with a total of 5,281 participants. The
Jamboree Organizing Committee appropriated more than a million pesos for the
development of the camp in preparation for the jamboree. The herculean task of
developing the camp drew out the united support of the government and private
sectors in Isabela and Region II. Because of the plan of the Jamboree Organizing
Committee that the camp will be multipurpose training center of the region after the
jamboree, it caused construction of semi- permanent buildings.
Camp Samal is also known as leisure park with hotel, resort and training center that
will accommodate and provide different nature experience to our tourists visiting the
town Tumauini.

vii. Health Facilities and Establishments

Public Health Facilities
Tumauini is one of the municipalities whose municipal government took
the responsibility of running its own community hospital simultaneously with
the rural health unit. The Tumauini Community Hospital was formerly a District
Hospital with 15-bed capacity operating as secondary level hospital.
Shortly after devolution, when the operation was handed by DOH to the
provincial government, the operations were left under the discretion of the
governor. It has been one of the hospitals in Isabela which was ordered for
closure due to proximity of another district hospital. Nevertheless, the Local
Chief Executive took the responsibility of operating the hospital together with
the Rural Health Unit under the municipal funding.
Aside from the Tumauini Community Hospital, Tumauini has one (1)
Municipal Health Office, 22 Barangay Health Stations with own building and
10 are integrated in the barangay hall. These health facilities basically
provide the health and medical needs of the populace. Each Barangay Health
Unit has its own catchment barangays to serve. Their service primarily center
on children and mothers needing expanded immunization, nutrition, maternal
and child care, family planning methods and other health program
interventions.
The Municipal Health Office (MHO) is located within Barangay

Lingaling catering to the basic health needs and problems of the sick
46
population.

Among the 46 barangays, only 32 have operational BHS and seven (7)
of those facilities need repair. The other 14 barangays have no BHS but
health services are rendered inside the barangay hall or at the community
center.

Urbanization Level
In 1995, a population of 15,003 or 32.94% lived in the urban barangays while

30,548 or 67.06% were in rural barangays. Meanwhile in 2015 a total of 20,264 or
29.95% are urban dwellers while 47,386 or 70.05% are rural dwellers. The trend
from 1995-2015 clearly indicates that the urbanization level of the municipality is still
very slow as shown in the 32.90% urbanity level in 1995 to and 30% urbanity level in
2015. This can be explained by the fact that some urban barangays particularly,
District I, District 2, District 3, District 4, Maligaya, Compania and Lingaling are
already congested as shown in their high density ratio that a number of households
have to transfer their residences to rural barangays with wider spaces.

Based on the 2015 data, Tumauini is predominantly rural with 47,386

or 70.05% of its total municipal population residing in the 33 rural
barangays outside the urban core. With an area of 45,715.13 hectares,
57
rural gross density is at 1.04 persons per hectare or at least 104

Page
persons living in a square kilometer land.
Telefax No.: (078) 323 0293

The urban core composed of thirteen (13) barangays using
2,014.90 hectares of land will show an urban gross density of 10.06
persons per hectare or 1,006 persons in a square kilometer of urban
land.
With a total population of 67,650 in 2015 and an area of
47,730.30 hectares, the gross population density for Tumauini is 1.42
persons per hectare.
Gross rural density is found lower with that of the municipal
gross density while the gross urban density is higher with that of the
total municipal density.
The difference in densities is due to the major concentration of
population in the urban barangays where all amenities and
conveniences can be availed of. Further, the Poblacion is on a
generally flat terrain which is more conducive for urban development
while the rural barangays being on hilly, rolling and undulating areas
are not popular settlement areas.
Gross density of the municipality at 1.42 persons per hectare is
higher than the provincial gross density of 1.24 persons per hectare.
This reveals that the municipality is classified as a high density area in
the Province of Isabela.
Labor Force and Employment
Labor force refers to the population 15 years old and over who are either
employed or engaged in an economic/gainful activity, hence considered as
gainfully employed or unemployed but seeking for any economic activity. A
person is not in labor force, however, if he/she is engaged in non-gainful activity
such as those of a housekeeper, student, pensioner, retired, disabled or
dependent.
Based on the 2015 NSO data, about 45,556 accounts for the total municipal labor
force population. Of the total labor force as shown in Table DE-12, 60.1% were
58
employed while the remaining 39.9% were unemployed. The data shows that the
Page
males dominated the employed labor force with 83.9% compared to 35.7%
Telefax No.: (078) 323 0293

female workers. However, the unemployed females (64.3%) dominated their
male counterpart (16.1%) in terms of unemployment status.
On the other hand, the percentage of employed population in the municipality is

slightly lower as compared to the province at 60.7% or a difference 0.6%.
However, the municipality’s percentage of unemployed population is slightly
higher than that of the province at 39.3% or a difference of 0.06%.

different ethnic groups, who speak several dialects or languages. 61.70% or 41,803
of the municipality’s total population speak Ibanag. Ilocano-speaking people
dominate the household population next to Ibanag with 22,064 or a 32.57% share.
Coming third in ethnicity are Tagalogs with a population count of 2,059 or 3.04% of
the household population.
Indigenous communities such as the Tinggian Tribe are present within the

near the Poblacion while generally the indigenous communities prefer to live their
lives in the rural areas where agricultural areas are found. The remaining 1.27%
belongs to other ethnic groups maybe as a result of immigration due to the strong
magnetic force of better livelihood activities.
Meanwhile, English language is spoken fluently by the educated members of the
community and most of the residents could understand and speak Filipino language.

Security
There is no insurgency records in the site since 1980’s. Safety measures will
be employed by the DENR, LGU-Tumauini and BLGU of Antagan 1st in collaboration
with the PNP. Deployment of barangay tanods, park volunteers and local guides will
be sustained to keep the visitors safe.
Rescue and medical services
Aside from the MRDMM of the municipality, a rescue and medical services to
cater the needs of the visitors will be created/established and be readily available in
case of emergencies. This will be managed by the LGU-Tumauini during the day-to-
day activities in the ecotourism site.
SOCIAL SERVICES SECTOR
Education
Education becomes more challenging now because of change from Basic

Education Curriculum to K-12 Basic Education Curriculum. Goal competition in
terms of skill and performance is anticipated. The great part of which is occurring at
an unprecedented pace, this is due to explosive growth of technology. As a result,
the modern methods of instruction through the integration of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) become an integral part of the curriculum. It also
includes integration of Disaster Risks Reduction Management (DRRM) and the
National Drug Education program (NDEP).
Hence, in order for the schools to survive and cope with the educational
demands of the municipality, the LGU must be looking ahead, anticipate change,
and develop a strategy to proactively and successfully navigate through the
turbulence created by change to attain its primary goal of Quality Education.
As the K-12 Basic Education Program of the Department of Education is now
in full swing, we have the conviction that the features of a successful K-12 program,
our own education system, with the use of the learner’s dominant language will shift
to quality education. The Filipino child is now being taught within the resources of the
community in order to be developed to become productive and eventually to
contribute in building the community.
4.1.1 Number of Schools by Level of Education, Accessibility and Location

The educational needs of the students is provided by five (5) private
pre-schools, 39 elementary schools to include six (5) private schools, 11
secondary schools to include three (3) private high schools, one (1) tertiary
school and 38 day care centers. These schools aim to provide access to
quality education to all schools going age population of the municipality.
61
4.1.2 School Area Occupied Type and Facilities

Page
Telefax No.: (078) 323 0293

School sites occupy a total area of 542,149 square meters or 54.2149
hectares, specifically for the public/private elementary schools, public/private
secondary schools, and the tertiary school, but excluding day care centers
which, most often, occupy the same space with barangay halls. All schools
are highly susceptible to tropical typhoon. There are nine (9) schools found to
be located in areas considered highly prone to flood, six (6) elementary and
three (3) secondary schools. There are eight (8) schools which are being used
as evacuation centers hence, during hazard events there are class
disruptions.
Almost all elementary schools and secondary schools have incomplete
and inadequate school facilities specifically laboratories, shops, libraries and
clinics. There is a need therefore to provide and construct more of these
needs and also maintain and improve the existing with poor facilities.
While generally compliant to school area standards, some existing
schools in the municipality have school areas below the standard space
requirement of at least 5,000 square meters. This indicates that there is no
adequate learning atmosphere for the students; and for basic structures to be
built like libraries, playgrounds, industrial shops and clinics which are also
found to be absent in majority of the schools present in the municipality. There
are schools which are lacking in area for playgrounds and buildable space for
additional new construction of school buildings, namely Magoli ES, Ugad ES,
Dalayya ES, Sisim-Minanga ES, and Sta. Catalina ES, Divisoria ES, Tumauini
NHS, Lanna NHS, and Regional Science High School.
There are still three (3) elementary schools (Magoli ES, Dalayya ES,
Divisoria ES) which do not have communal comfort rooms. While in
secondary and tertiary schools only Josefina Albano NHS has incomplete
facilities, and the other 10 schools has complete facilities and in good
condition.
On hazard susceptibility, all educational institutions are prone to
tropical cyclone. There are nine (9) schools found to be located in areas
considered highly prone to flood, six (6) elementary and three (3) secondary
schools. These are Fugu ES, Fugu Abajo ES, Sta. Catalina ES, Antagan 2nd
ES, Caligayan ES, Paragu ES, Josefina Albano NHS, Lanna NHS and
Fermeldy NHS. There are eight (8) schools which are being used as
evacuation centers hence, during hazard events there are class disruptions.

i. Infrastructure Readiness of the Tourism Sites

Tumauini is blessed with religious and natural tourist sites. Since 1800 the
Tumauini Church was established. However, the historical church needs repair.
The Camp Samal Leisure Park and Training Center including the Camp
Samal Hotel and Resort is still potential tourism site since its needs more infra
projects like concreting of road, additional accommodation facilities, among others.
The different eco tourist sites under Tumauini Watershed Natural Park and
Balasig Watershed that we can find numerous waterfalls, caves, lagoon, picnic and
swimming sites and rock formations are still undiscovered due to limited access road
and absence of support facilities.
ii. Environment Preservation and Conservation

Timber poaching, wildlife hunting and fishing are still evident in the area.
Erosion, siltation and sedimentation caused by natural calamities and anthropogenic
activities could be mitigated through various approaches such as tree panting, agro-
forestry techniques, rip-rapping and others.
68
Page
Telefax No.: (078) 323 0293

iii. Community awareness
Community participation and readiness to accept tourist is another

challenge for tourism promotion. Mingling of the community people with the visitors
coming into the area will improve their social life coupled with the trainings, seminar
workshops given to them.
Continuous information and education will be extended to further drum-up
awareness thereby, a dedicated and committed citizen to safeguard the protected
area.
iV. Economic
As conceived, the ecotourism industry is an income generator for the

community people as well as for the government. It is expected that through this
plan, the project may impart poverty alleviation in the locals and it will improve the
economy of the municipality and for the province of Isabela.
V. Institutional
Institutional partnerships through collaboration and linkage will be further
strengthened. To avoid conflicts and overlapping of functions, a Memorandum of
Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding will be executed among the
stakeholders.
B. TOURISM GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS
1. Goals and Objectives
1.1 Goal
Establish and promote an ecotourism and religious

entrepreneurship with consideration on the integrity and
safeguards the natural state of the environment especially the
Tumauini Watershed Natural Park and Balasig Watershed; and
preserve the historical value of the Tumauini Church and Camp
Samal Liesure Park and Training Center. Provides continuous
awareness among the public and generate income and employment
opportunities to the local communities and their constituents,
especially the women, youth, indigenous peoples, and other
vulnerable groups.
1.2 Objectives
1.2.1 To fully promote our Tourist Sites

69
1.2.2 To manage, conserve and develop the natural features of the

Page
Tumauini Watershed Natural Park and Balasig Watershed
Telefax No.: (078) 323 0293

into an ecotourism destination without prejudice to its
surrounding environment and communities;
1.2.3 To empower the community as effective partner tourism
activities
1.2.4 To promote biodiversity-friendly and community-based

ecotourism enterprises that will be provided by the host
communities and people’s organizations as recipients;
1.2.5 To encourage other stakeholders, private entities and/or

business sectors on ecotourism investment;
1.2.6 To construct ecotourism amenities and other recreational

facilities.
2. Targets
2.1 Developing and marketing diversified and competitive ecotourism

products
Diversified ecotourism products will be developed such as

swimming, caving and spelunking, mountaineering/trekking, wildlife
watching , accommodation through trainings, overnight stay, family
gatherings and others.
2.2 Creating conducive environment for ecotourism investments
Facilities, amenities and utilities will be constructed to provide

conducive environment to the visitors. Indigenous materials will be
used in some small facilities like picnic sheds. Safety measures and
medical kits will be provided.
2.3 Maximizing economic benefits to the host communities
The project will improve and stir a positive impact in the rural
economy of the municipality and increase the per capita income of
each household through the generation of employment
opportunities to residents within the area that would improve their
living conditions. It further provides general welfare as well as the
environmental protection; provide economic activities for the people
thereby reducing poverty in the Municipality.
Partial development has been done in the area through the
initiative of the LGUs. However, initial developments could not
suffice the standards for ecotourism to make the place more
competitive with other tourism destinations in the province and in
70
the country. Thus, the need for more eco-facilities and amenities in
Page
the site.
Telefax No.: (078) 323 0293

2.4 Promoting and developing a culture of ecotourism
Close to nature offers enjoyment and self-renewal through

aesthetic value of the eco-sites in TWNP. It must be inculcated into
the minds of the visitors and communities that ecotourism is not a
destructive activity, instead, it must be taken into as an
environment-friendly venture.
2.5 Strengthening institutional capacity
The conservation, protection, management and development of

TWNP is not the sole responsibility of the DENR. Each stakeholder
plays a vital role towards the attainment of its vision, goals and
objectives. One policy and one direction must be taken into an
account in accordance with existing protected area and ecotourism
laws, rules and regulations.
All stakeholders must be properly clothed with the laws, rules
and regulations on protected area and ecotourism management.
2.6 Developing and strengthening partnership
Communication is very significant tool in achieving better

results. Developing and strengthening of partnerships will be
through continuous coordination and linkaging with the
stakeholders and execution of memorandum of
agreement/understanding. Such activity will avoid overlapping of
functions and it entails policy directions for each stakeholder.
2.7 Establishing mechanisms for sustainable financing
Sourcing and analysis of the funds for this plan is a primary

concern the stakeholder must addressed. To sustain the
ecotourism, support from other institutions will be tapped. Fund
support from the LGUs, DENR, NGOs and OGAs will be sourced-
out to sustainably implement this plan.
2.8 Monitoring outcomes and impacts
The process of monitoring and evaluation of the ecotourism

development project shall be based in consistent with the
provisions of the laws on protected area and ecotourism.
The DENR as the lead agency and the PAMB as the policy-
making body will be responsible in the over-all monitoring and
evaluation. Aside from this, a multi-sectoral monitoring and
evaluation team will be created to keep track of the progress along
the course of the project’s implementation.
