A.) What is Demographic?

Demographic is relating to the structure of populations. The demographic trend is

toward an older population" is the study of a population based on factors such as age,
race, and sex. Demographic refers to socioeconomic information expressed statistically,
including employment, education, income, marriage rates, birth and death rates, and
more. It can also cover whole societies or groups defined by criteria such as education,
nationality, religion, and ethnicity. Educational institutions usually treat demography as
a field of sociology, though there are a number of independent demography
departments.

B.) What is Demographic Population?

A population is defined as a group of individuals of the same species living and

interbreeding within a given area. Members of a population often rely on the same
resources, are subject to similar environmental constraints, and depend on the
availability of other members to persist over time. Scientists study a population by
examining how individuals in that population interact with each other and how the
population as a whole interacts with its environment. As a tool for objectively studying
populations, population ecologists rely on a series of statistical measures, known as
demographic parameters, to describe that population (Lebreton et al. 1992). The field of
science interested in collecting and analyzing these numbers is termed population
demographics, also known as demography. Populations are dynamic entities.
Populations consist all of the species living within a specific area, and populations
fluctuate based on a number of factors: seasonal and yearly changes in the
environment, natural disasters such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions, and
competition for resources between and within species. This is also a statistical study of
population dynamics, demography, uses a series of mathematical tools to investigate
how populations respond to changes in their biotic and abiotic environments. Many of
these tools were originally designed to study human populations. For example, life
tables, which detail the life expectancy of individuals within a population, were initially
developed by life insurance companies to set insurance rates. In fact, while the term
“demographics” is commonly used when discussing humans, all living populations can
be studied using this approach.

PART 2

A.) HISTORY OF BARANGAY

The most popular folklore tale about the origin of the word “cabalan” is that it was
coined from the Filipino word “kaban” uttered by an Aeta settler when asked by an
American serviceman what was he carrying while heading to the relocation site.
“Kaban” is a wooden box used to keep clothing in the early times. The folklore was not
as old as that of other barangays in the City but was said to be significant during the
expansion of the US Naval Base in the 1959 Korean War and the relocation of Negrito
settlers from the southern part of Boton (a place in the province of Bataan). The
relocation area was said to be a forested area in the municipality of Olongapo. The tale
implies that it was the American serviceman who named the place.

Another version was that, the name was coined from the Kapampangan word for town
mate, “kabalen”, being an adjacent area of Kapampangan-speaking municipalities,
Hermosa and Dinalupihan, Bataan, and Lubao, Pampanga.

Nevertheless, on a more factual account, the first Aeta settlers which were composed of
three (3) groups, came from the areas of Kalayaan, Boton, and Binictican. The former
relocation site is now the Purok 2 of New Cabalan. Then Christians began settling in,
among them were the families of Cervantes, Garcia, Calubhay, Medina, and Quiambao
who, later on had kinship with some Aeta families. New Cabalan was recognized as a
Barangay on April 24, 1971, thru a City resolution upon the recommendation of several
Barangay Officials of Olongapo City. The area had developed into a barangay after 12
years, since the relocation period in 1959 from the Boton area.

Barangay New Cabalan is located in the southwestern part of the City. It is divided into
seven (7) Puroks and one (1) Sitio with a land area of 1,995.57 hectares. It is bounded in
the North by Sta. Rita River, in the South by Jadjad River along Subic Bay Freeport Zone,
in the West by Old Cabalan, and in the Eastern part by Dinalupihan, Bataan. New
Cabalan is generally an upland area and is estimated to be at 100 to 200 meters above
sea level (http://maps.google.com/maps). It is approximately fifteen (15) minutes away
from the City proper.

In addition to the river system within the barangay is the Bangal River traversing in the
northern part of the barangay, topographically separating Purok 3, 5 and 6 to Sitio Iram
and Pinagpala. In the northern outskirt of the barangay towards the East are two (2)
creeks, Gugu and Yutang Creek.

There are currently four (4) land classifications in the barangay. Residential is the largest
part which is approximately three fourths (3/4) of the land area. The remaining quarter
part of the land is comprised of forest zones, parks, institutional, and commercial zones.
Purok 4 houses the City’s sanitary land fill surrounded by a land classified as a forest
zone. In Purok 6 is the reserved government lot for future park development.
Institutional areas are in Purok 2, 3 and 7. These are the New Cabalan Elementary
School, New Cabalan National High School, the Barangay Hall, and the Day Care Centers.
Commercial area on the other hand is confined in Purok 2.

Parades of our churches, It became the tradition in our barangay to celebrate it every year
(most likely every May of the year) This are usually photogeaphed by lots of visitors and will
post the New Cabalan Bulletin. Also, the feeding program in different purok/street in New
Cabalan, it became the culture on our barangay to still maintain the health of each and
everyone. Also during the relief distribution, Plan International conducted a demonstration on
the right way to wash hands, brush teeth, and use of water disinfectant. Likewise, a
demonstration on proper disposal of human waste in times of calamities was also conducted.

D. Economy of your Barangay

- the wealth and resources of our Barangay today based on my reasearch was okay, not all our
needs are getting supplies but I know they’re just giving first the one who really needs it,
especially in terms of the production and consumption of goods and services when you look at
our Barangay today I can say that we are on the Middles class and I hope sooner or later
everyone gets what they really deserve. In this coming election, I’m hoping that whoever will
get their positions will provide everyone’s need already especially hope the one who are in
need.
