 About sixty one percent (61%) of Ditucalan’s household have reported

an income level of below P5,000.- per month, while only 7.91% belong to the

higher P5,000 – P7,000 income category. However, a significant 32% have

reported income levels of P8,000 and over. This suggests a somewhat bi-

modal income distribution in our barangay but with the larger percentage

belonging to the lowest income level. Figure 19 and its accompanying figure

show the data configuration for the income bracket.

Economic Situation of the People of the Barangay

 Only few belong to the well-off class (5%).

 The middle-class groups are the one usually approached by
the poor.
 Here in the Philippines, the farmers belong to the poor
society/class, but on other countries like America, the farmers
are wealthy.
 The 10%, which is the poorest of the poor, are known to be the
lazy people of Barangay Ditucalan. They let the day pass
without doing anything, they just seat around the whole day.
But we cannot stop them from doing that because they have
the right to do whatever they wanted to do.
 On the other hand, it never happen in Barangay Ditucalan that
somebody starved to death. No matter how poor this people
are, they can still put food on their table.
