THE LOCAL ECONOMY OF ABUCAY
Abucay is one of six (6) towns in the province of Bataan that offers a
unique eco-tourism attraction. It is home to one of the popular hiking
destination in the country called “the Pasukulan Falls”, and several
resorts for friends and family recreations especially its own natural-
water spring resort known to be the “Sibul Spring”. It is also known
for its famous four-century old St. Dominic Parish Church.
Abucay has a total area of 10,686 hectares covering both land and
water jurisdiction. The land area is 7,970.0 hectares or about 5.8% of
the total land area of Bataan and the municipal water area is 2,716.0 hectares.

The municipality of Abucay is endowed with natural resources, rich culture, human resources,
institutional facilities that provide access by the people to social services, and proximately to
modern commercial and trade facilities and potentials to boosts progress. It is a home of two (2)
distinct institutions, the San Juan De Letran, situated at Brgy. Gabon, Abucay, Bataan and
Bataan Peninsula State University, (BPSU) Abucay Campus (Agriculture Campus) situated at
Brgy. Bangkal, Abucay, Bataan. One of its Barangay, Brgy. Bangkal, is being the ancestral home
by indigenous people, the “Aetas” that are native to the area, dominating the barangay
population.

PRIMARY SECTOR
Agriculture
Agriculture is the main source of livelihood by the majority of populace in Abucay. It covers
almost 40% of the total land and water area of the municipality, and has a potential expansion of
10% to 15% in production areas if provided with proper interventions, projects and programs.
Forest area covers 38% of the total land area which is at the western portion and is part of the
Bataan Natural Park, a declared protected area under the National Integrated Protected Area
System Law.

A mussel production area is yet under validation process. Annual agricultural production value is

about PHP 306,776,365.00, derived from aggregated value from estimates of different
agricultural and aquaculture commodities produced in the municipality.
Figure 7. Cross-Sectional View of Abucay
Agriculture is a complex sector involving different driving parameters, which include

environmental, economic and social parameters. Production in Abucay is affected biophysically
by changing meteorological/ climate variables, including increasing temperatures, changing
rainfall patterns and increasing levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases. The biophysical effects
of climate change on productions and sensitivity of production to different factors are highly
dependent on the location of the production areas and the existing agricultural systems. On the
other hand, socio-economic factors influence responses to damages in productions, with the final
response depending on adaptation strategies employed in the area. Most of the time, increase in
agricultural income of farmers is solely correlated to increase in productivity, and increase in
productivity is solely related to upgrading of farm practices, maximizing land use and find sure
markets.
Map 3. Existing Agricultural Area

Abucay has nine (9) barangays with which five (5) barangays are coastal areas (Mabatang,
Calaylayan, Wawa, Omboy, and Capitangan), with high concentrations of aquaculture
productions particularly on brackish water. Crops and livestock industries are embraced by seven
(7) barangays (Bangkal, Mabatang, Calaylayan, Laon, Gabon, Salian, and Capitangan).
Agricultural production are conventionally done primarily, resulting to high production costs and
building more rooms for expenditures. This burdens the local farmers which mostly are tenants
in rice farming sector.
Map 4. Abucay Agriculture Zone
Table 2 shows the land ownership based on the major crops grown in the municipality. It shows
that 85% of the total rice farming households are tenants, but when it comes to other type of
crops, highest percentage is being dominated by owner followed by tenant, administrator, and
others. Renting of rice and orchard farms is not being practiced in Abucay. In the case of rice
production areas, most of rice farm owners have other opportunities and business, and that
family members left farming that’s why they enter into tenancy agreement with other farm
workers to continuously till their farm lands. In other type of crops, land ownership
predominantly exists, this is because of the result of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform
Program (CARP) of the Department of Agrarian Reform. In this manner, idle lands have been

converted and developed by the Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries into productive areas, thereby
contributing into the agricultural development of the municipality.

1.0 CROPS:
The major commodity of Abucay is rice. It dominates the areas of production in lowland to mid
elevation areas were most of the fields are irrigable. Two cropping annually is being practiced by
farmers but some farmers are into third cropping in abundance of irrigation water during dry
seasons and/or in the availability of early maturing varieties. Some other farmers are practicing
crop rotations in the rice farming systems, while others are practicing fallow period. Other crops
being grown in the municipality are mango, banana, papaya, coconut, corn, root crops assorted
vegetables, other permanent crops like rambutan, guyabano, lanzones, calamansi, pomelo and
jackfruit. Grapes and dragon fruits are also being introduced in the locality with promising
quality of produce and market potentials.

Production
Figure 16, shows the status of crop production area in Abucay in terms of percentage of scope of
area per crops. Rice, being the major commodity of Abucay, occupying largest areas in the
lowlands with an area of 1,328.0 hectares, has an annual gross production of about 5,953.0
metric tons, derived both from rainfed and irrigated rice fields, representing 59% of the total crop
production area. It is also the main driver of livelihood sources of majority of people in the
community. It generally generates more job opportunities from land preparations up to
postharvest productions. Mango occupies the second largest area in Abucay, with almost 736.0
hectares with an annual gross production of 8,832.0 metric tons. It represents 32% of the total
crop production area. Banana has a total area of 109.0 hectares representing 4.8% of the total
crop production area with an annual gross production of about 1,090 metric tons. Vegetables
comprise the 40.5 hectares in municipality with an annual gross production of about 242.5 metric
tons representing 1.7% of the total crop production area. Corn occupies 29.25 hectares with an
annual gross production of 44.0 metric tons, representing 1.2% of the total crop production area.
All other crops comprising of permanent, spices, and root crops occupies the remaining 24.45
hectares, representing 1% of the total crop production area in Abucay.

Table 3 shows the data of crop production in Abucay. Rice as the major crops, has an equivalent
annual production in metric tons of about 80.5 for rainfed areas and 5,872.5 for irrigated rice
areas. The average yield per hectare in rainfed rice is about 3.5 metric tons per hectare, while the
average yield per hectare of irrigated rice is 4.5 metric tons per hectare that is above the national
average of about 3.28 metric tons per hectare. Mango, Banana, Corn and Other Crops are also
presented in the table.

A) RICE
Rice is the major crops in Abucay, in terms of production area, livelihood generating industry,
agricultural economic propeller in municipality, and considering that it is the staple food of the
people. During dry seasons, area devoted to rice is about 1,305 hectares, or about 58% of the
total crop production area, while during wet seasons, the area of rice production reaches to about
1,328 hectares, or about 59% of the total crop production area. According to Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA), the estimated per capita consumption of every Filipino in 2015 is about 2.2
kilograms per person per week, or about 114.4 kilograms per year. This means that the
approximate rice consumption of Abucay populace in 2015 is about 5,299,808.8 kilogram, or
5,299.8 metric tons per year.
Rice Farming Development Plan

Comprehensive Page 11
The estimated rice production in Abucay is about 11,825.5 metric tons per year in just two
cropping seasons (wet and dry). Some other farmers are regularly in continuous planting of rice
after the second cropping, it is called the third crop, which is about 0.5% of the total number of
rice farmers or about 7 hectares with an average production of about 3.5 metric tons per hectare,
or about 24.5 metric tons of total yields. If it will be added to the regular production, the total
production reaches to about 11,850 metric tons, which is sufficient to supply the needs of every
household in Abucay.
Abucay has one (1) Rice Seed Grower, which is accredited by PhilRice that serves as reliable
source of good quality seeds of inbred rice in the municipality. Other than inbred rice, sources of
hybrid seeds and other high yielding varieties are commercially available in the area being
introduced by several private companies and institutions. The type of variety being used by the
farmers is always affected by the demand preference in the market, and also by the availability of
water supply for irrigation and the planting seasons. Almost 70-80% of rice production is being
sold to a trader, that’s why the bulk of supply goes out in the locality especially the preferred
varieties of traders being bought in priority and of a much higher market price than ordinary rice.
Production of rice in Abucay is primarily affected by lack of irrigation supply during dry
seasons, especially when El niňo phenomenon affects the country in 2015. This crop is also
vulnerable to weather and climate hazards, reducing yield and sometimes of total devastations.
Majority of farmers are using conventional farming that introduces high input utilizations, that is
why there is a huge amount of capitalizations of about PhP40, 000.00 to PhP60, 000.00 per
hectare per cropping. Though the local government through the Office of the Municipal
Agriculturist introduces Organic Agriculture or less and even the non-utilizations of inorganic
inputs, only few farmers are starting to adopt the technologies because of the farming possession
situation in the locality which is tenancy, thereby the farmers should always produce higher
production for them to suffice their taxes to land owners in terms of percentage from their rice
yields.
Rice industry in Abucay faces several concerns that reduce its yield and farmer’s income
although the agricultural arm of the local government continuously striving to provide supports
and assistance for the continuous development and success of rice industry sector.
B) MANGO
Mango is one the high earning commodities in the municipality and is majority planted in the
mid and upland areas. Almost 30% of the total mango areas are planted with century old mango
trees and the remaining 70% have 20 to 40 years old mango trees and others were newly planted.
A century old tree can produce 130 to 160 basket (kaing) of mango fruits per cropping in a
normal production condition, while the average aged tree can produce to about 40-50 kaings.
One kaing is equivalent to 21 kilograms. The estimated production of mango in Abucay is about

8,832 metric tons in 2016 coming from bearing trees of about 48,576. Non-bearing trees is about
5,829 in population that includes the newly planted.
Abucay is very suited to mango production. The type of soil, humidity, weather, climate and the
elevation is very much favorable, that’s why even the steepest or hilly areas with above eighteen
degrees slopes have been planted with mango previously. In spite of this, mango population in
Abucay is significantly reducing to about 5-10% annually from 2012 to present because of
different production constraints that continuously striking the mango industry leading to the
abandonment of mango growers in mango production, that some have entered into an agreement
with the mango contractors while others are just waiting for their mango trees to bear normally.
Figure 18. Provision of Mango Seedlings
The number one culprit in the industry problem is the unsolved problems of pest and diseases.
Secondary to that is the unfavorable weather conditions brought about by climate change,
fluctuating market price, and the continuous utilizations of lands to other types of development
usage. Also, mango production is highly dependent to chemical input utilizations that are
expensive and continuously increasing in prices and nevertheless burdens the mango sector.
Considering these facts, the local government is continuously collaborating with other
institutions to revive the mango industry and stop the farm conversion or cutting down of
productive mango trees.

C) BANANA
Banana covers only 5% of the total crop production area in Abucay, thus it still contributes to the
agricultural economic industry. Upland areas were utilized to this commodity with less
application of proven technologies being applied by farmers because of low market value as
compared to other prime commodities.
At present, the area being planted with banana reduces to about 60% as compared 10-15 years
ago. Back then, banana is being planted side by side with other crops not as primary crop but to
serve as shed plants to slow growing crops, especially during dry seasons until their primary
crops can withstand or adapt with the environment for survival.
Aside from being neglected in production areas, banana is vulnerable to strong winds brought by
typhoon occurrence and to landslide. Because banana can compensate even if being damaged by
typhoons, only few farmers are replanting banana.
Banana has many uses. Depending on the variety, banana is grown primarily of its fruits, being
harvested when it reaches its maturity for family consumption or marketed locally as matured or
ripened fruits. Banana blossom is also being marketed or consumed as vegetable type especially
the Butuan and Saba varieties. Blossoms of varieties such as Seňorita (also known as Siamese,
Figure 19. Banana Suckers
Cuarenta Dias, Monkoy, or Cariňosa), and Latundan (also known as Tundan, Apple Bananas,
Silk Bananas, Manzana Bananas, or Pisang raja sereh), can be cooked as viand but with specific
preparations because it has pungent taste if not well prepared. Leaves is also marketed and used

as wrapper, cover or cushion in several food preparations especially during community
celebrations.
Agricultural Infrastructure and Support Facilities
Agricultural infrastructure support in Abucay includes farm to market roads and bridges that
were funded by the national and local government. These includes the bridge in Sitio Kabukiran,
Barangay Calaylayan, concreting of farm to market roads in Sitio Hacienda, Barangay Gabon;
Sitio Daang Bakuran, Barangay Calaylayan going to Sitio Liputan, Barangay Mabatang; and
Sitio Kamalig, Barangay Capitangan. Other vicinal roads were continuously maintained through
the use of heavy equipment such as graders with the collaborative efforts of the provincial and
municipal government. Concreting of farm to market roads and/or vicinal roads is currently
under validations, surveys and funding.
Abucay farmers and fisherfolks have immediate access to production support facilities being
delivered and provided by the local government unit and other institutions. These includes
livelihood credit supports, farm and fishing inputs, farm mechanizations, irrigation system and
facilities, and extension services.
Livelihood credit supports are being provided, one of which is by the Provincial Government
through the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist under the Livelihood Enhancement And
Development (LEAD) program of the Department of Agriculture. Other credit support is being
assisted to every qualified farmer’s cooperatives/associations by the Provincial Agrarian Reform
Office (PARO) through Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP). Bataan Peninsula State University
(BPSU), had also provided credit support to selected farmers such as the PALAYAMANAN
project and to mango growers under the Science and Technology Community-Based Farming
(STCBF) project funded by the Philippine Council for Agricultural Resources Research and
Development (PCARRD). The Abucay Multi-Purpose Cooperative (AMPC), one of the
prominent cooperative in the municipality is also providing farming credit support to their
qualified farmer-members.
Farm and fishing input supports are continuously provided by the local government through the
Office of the Municipal Agriculturist (OMA). These includes rice seeds, vegetable seeds, corn
seeds, forest and fruit tree planting materials, organic and inorganic foliar and granular
fertilizers and ameliorants, knapsack and power sprayers, fishing paraphernalia, fishing boats,
and etc. These comes from the regular programs of the Department of Agriculture (DA), and the
Bureau of Fishery and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). The Provincial Veterinary Office (PVO) is
also providing input support through its regular livestock dispersal programs that includes large
cattle and carabao and goats. Other input supports are being disseminated by the PARO and
BPSU through their several projects and programs to selected beneficiaries/people’s
organizations. The Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) and the Agricultural

Training Institute-Regional Training Center III (ATI-RTC III), are also providing input supports
in cooperation with the OMA. Input supports were also provided to the beneficiaries of the
Integrated Community Food Production (ICFP) project under the previous 2016 Bottom-up
Budgeting (BuB) project of the National Government to combat malnutrition in every
communities.
Farming in Abucay is primarily dependent on farm machineries. It is the major work force in
every farm management operations in the locality. Manual and draft animal activities were
replaced, and brought rapid farm operations, thereby increasing economic advantage in the
industry. Though livelihood of most farm workers have been affected, not all operations in the
farms are generally machine operated. Also, farm workers have an opportunity to work in a
much greater areas other than that of those farms that they are only used to work for. Farmers
have an immediate access in buying farm machineries and most are also capable to purchase
their own. The local government through the OMA, in cooperation with other agencies is
providing farm mechanization support and assistance to farmers and PO’s from pre harvest to
post harvest production, especially in rice farming sector. These include 4-wheel tractors, min 4-
wheel tractors, hand tractors, threshers, reapers, and etc. Private-owned and government
provided machineries includes two (2) 4-wheel tractors, 3 mini 4-wheel tractors, 133 hand
tractors, 73 threshers, 90 rice reapers, 17 power sprayers, 5 shredders, and one (1) 3 in 1
harvester.
Farming industry is very much dependent on water/irrigation systems, especially of rice farmers.
Abucay has sixteen (16) communal irrigations that are operated by farmer’s and irrigator’s
associations. Aside from communal irrigations, individual farmers have provided their own
irrigation systems such as shallow tube wells (STW), and others were provided by government
agencies such as STW’s, small farm reservoir (SFR), solar pump, ram pump, wind mill and
water pumps. This is due to the insufficiency of water supply in communal irrigations during dry
seasons. Abucay has thirty five (35) CIS with service area of about 1,320 has., having 1,128
farmers. STW has a total of about 210 units, including private-owmed and government provided,
having a total service area of about 820 has., with 615 farmers. There are nine (9) SFR in the
locality, with service area of about 15 has., with 10 farmers. Abucay also has two (2) Diversion
Dams, 12 deep wells, two (2) ram pumps, one (1) solar generated pump, and one wind mill. The
capacity of water supply in rivers and streams are eventually weakening because of the effect of
climate change, continuous development in the watershed areas, continuous construction or
establishment of new irrigation systems, and under or unmaintained irrigation systems. The local
government is continuously addressing this situation through continuous supports and funding.
The Local Government Unit (LGU) through the OMA is mandated to provide extension services
to its clientele. It assures that all programs and projects will be delivered/ disseminated on time
and to its proper beneficiaries. Although extension workers of the OMA is always at risks during
the conduct of their activities in the field, they still able to render their works efficiently, even in
times of natural calamities, ensuring that proper reports will be documented and gathered for

quick turnaround assistance and supports. Efficient extension service is also the key for the
success of agricultural production industries.
Post-harvest Production Support
Post-harvest production support is one of the basic needs in farm production and management
especially in rice. There are eight (8) private rice mills operating in Abucay that caters rice
harvests. There are ten (10) warehouses, being used for storage of harvested palay, and maybe
for other products, one of which is being awarded to one of the farmer’s organizations in
Abucay. The government also provided eight (8) Multi-Purpose Drying Pavement (MPDP), and
one (1) unit flatbed dryer located at Barangay Laon.
Success in the final stage of production depends on the efficiency of tools and equipment being
utilized to maintain or enhance the better qualities of produce. The postharvest production
supported in Abucay is yet far enough to cater all the farm harvests especially during wet seasons
having most of unfavorable weather conditions.
2.0 LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY
Other than crops, livestock and poultry contributes a lot in the livelihood development and
agricultural economy of Abucay. Investments are continuously increasing because of the
promising advantages of the municipality in terms of strategic location, accessibility, resources,
peace and order, and response of the LGU for the continuous development of these industries
that complies all the requirements for their continuous operations, particularly the semi-
commercial and commercial enterprises. In fact, the LGU had identified zone for the enterprise
and issued an approved resolution on the said matter. It only signifies that livestock and poultry
enterprises is really increasing in the locality.
Figure 20: Livestock and Poultry in Abucay
Source: Office of the Municipal Agriculturist, Abucay, Bataan

Livestock and poultry population is expressed in figure 20. It shows that the number of broilers
dominates the population. This is because of the presence of commercial broiler farms in the
municipality. Contribution of this industry is highly significant in terms of livelihood
opportunities, tax revenue, area development opportunity, and other agri-investment
opportunities.
Table 4 shows the population of poultry and livestock, the types of management, number of
owners and the percentage in population.

TOTAL 862,115 5,360 41 1,240
These figures show that there is enough supply for the demand in the market of livestock and
poultry in the municipality. The figures are fluctuating because it is very vulnerable to weather
and climate factors and to the supply and demand chains, especially those of commercial raising.
In due time, the supply will be affected also by the other industry development, and residential
expansions. Although there might also be an opportunity in terms of demand increase, soon
enough, there will be a change in zoning resulting to the force relocation of livestock and poultry
production areas. During the process, it might affect the production to decrease significantly.

3.0 COASTAL RESOURCES
The LGU of Abucay is persistent in protecting, conserving and improving its fishery and aquatic
resources for the benefit of its populace that’s why it formulated the Coastal Resource
Management (CRM) plan. In the nine (9) barangays of Abucay, five (5) of which are coastal.
These are the barangays of Mabatang, Calaylayan, Wawa, Omboy, and Capitangan. Located in
almost central part of the province of Bataan, Abucay’s coastal areas is in the portion of Manila
Bay which is highly affected by industrializations and urbanization. There is also a great risk in
natural and man-made hazards that might affect aquaculture industry if not collaboratively
address.
Abucay coastal areas, though above-mentioned, are still rich in aquatic resources, such as mud
crabs, fishes, clams, and mussels which is of high quality produced. This is due to the effort of
the LGU for its aquaculture industry development. One of which is the mangrove reforestation
that covers almost 15 hectares. Under the Philippine National Aquasilviculture Program (PNAP),
a total of 50,000 propagules had been planted in five coastal barangays.
Several programs and projects were also implemented and will be continuously provided such as
the provision of one hundred (100) units of Tahong (mussel) Culture Project as livelihood
program for 100 fishermen; the provision of fishing boat and fishing nets under BuB projects;
and the proposed development of fish sanctuary in the municipality. Other provisions such as life
vests, fishing paraphernalia, smoked house, movable stall for fish vendors, bamboo solar dryers,
solar and pressure lamps were also provided to help in the industry improvement and
development.

As shown in table 5, the number of registered fishermen is about 500 individuals with the
number of registered fishing boat of 141 units. Each fishing boat can have a catch fish of around
3-5 kg/day in the span of six (6) days of fishing. Brackishwater fishponds are being operated as
polyculture production wherein bangus (milk fish) as the primary produce and that is being
mixed with other brackishwater products such as vannamei shrimp and crabs or bangus with
sugpu shrimp and crabs. Brackishwater fishpond production has an average yield of about 3
metric tons per hectare per year. Freshwater fishpond only produces tilapia having an area of
about 11 hectares with the number of 72 operators. Fish catch and the produce from
bracksihwater and freshwater fishponds are being sold either wholesale or retail in barangay
talipapa, moving vendors, local markets, nearby markets, and to their customer/financier-traders.
Food Supply and Demand Analysis
Agricultural production in Abucay can sustain the demand of its populace as being expressed in
figure 22. In rice alone, from 2012-2016, production surplus averages to 11.952 metric tons on
the demand for the population from 2010-2015 census. It is also being shown in table 6 together
with other commodities. Considering that the municipality had also been striken by vast
calamities and unfavorable phenomena (El niňo and la niňa), still the productions are positive.
This might due to the resiliency of the farmers, quick response of the LGU, the variety being

used by the farmers (high yielding), rapid access to input supplies, and the availability of farm
mechanizations.
Due to the strategic location of the Abucay, large volume of those products were being marketed
outside the municipality because it offers higher prices and in large quantities that are in
advantage with the traders. The whole reality is that, outside products comes inside and inside
products goes outside. This is because of the presence of trader-consumer or financier serving as
guiding mechanism in the supply and demand chain of agricultural products, aside from that the
producers or farmers are also looking for better prices of their goods.
This scenario and figures might not go along that way. This is because of the threats on climate
change effects, wherein most of the underground waters and rivers used for irrigations are
depleting and even drying especially during dry seasons, the growing population accompanied
by pollutions, continuing land conversions, devastations of marine life, continuous urban
expansions, and the unpredictable outbreaks of pests and diseases affecting crops, livestocks and
poultry and even aquaculture life brought about both by man- made or natural hazards.

4.0 AGRARIAN REFORM
The Municipality of Abucay has nine (9) barangays, five (5) of these are coastal areas. As shown
in table 6 (CARP Locations, Area and Number of Farmer Beneficiaries), only seven (7)
barangays have carpable land areas being handled and/or awarded by the Agrarian Reform
Provincial Office (ARPO) of Bataan. Of the carpable areas, barangay Gabon has the greatest
carpable areas and the most number of farmer beneficiaries. Barangay Omboy has the least with
only Operation Land Transfer (OLT) data of 0.7052 hectare with three (3) farmer beneficiaries
(FB).

This successful implementation of CARP by the ARPO of Bataan brought a very positive effect
on the development of idle lands to productive agricultural production, thereby resulting to the
increase in production and number of producers. This also creates the intention of farmer
beneficiaries to organize themselves, and registered to accredited government entities such as the
Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
and to the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), in order for them to have an opportunity
to become CARP beneficiaries.
In Abucay, several farmer’s associations/organizations have been dissolved or disorganized due

to some grave reasons. Nevertheless, farmer’s organizations are continuously increasing in
number, not just because of the CARP but because the national government is prioritizing the
people’s organization in giving supports and assistance. This is of advantage for any
implementing agencies because there will be an ease of beneficiary selection, but in Abucay,
when it comes to CARP, uprising of land disputes and disputes on the selection of beneficiaries
are mainly experienced until present. No matter how good the program is, there is always a
negative concerns that needs a long term solutions that the ARPO of Bataan is handling
seriously.
Land disputes mainly affect the agricultural sector, especially in upland areas in Abucay wherein
CARP areas can be found. Agricultural production and development are being ceased in these
areas that affect not just the agricultural production, but also the living conditions of affected
farmers. This is being settled collaboratively by the ARPO, the LGU of Abucay as well as the
people’s organizations that are concerned.

SECONDARY SECTOR
Manufacturing and Processing Sector
The municipality of Abucay has a great potential in manufacturing, but the fact is that the
industry is still very little maybe because its economy is still growing, having small population.
Also, the municipality is situated just beside to a city that has long been the center of
manufacturing enterprises in the province.
There are shops in barangay Capitangan engaging in the manufacture of panel doors and wood
cabinets that are of great qualities. The Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU), Abucay
campus is manufacturing several farm tools and equipment such as the eco-friendly wood stove
with cellphone charger, briquetting machine, dry paddy rice seeder, fertilizer sower, coffee
huller, coffee grinder, and others. Bamboo baskets and other bamboo products are being
produced in Sitio Hacienda, Barangay Gabon. Bamboo is being used as a raw material in
replaced to yantok being banned by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR), considered as one of the endangered species.
Food processing such as native food delicacy making is one of the long term industry in the
municipality of Abucay. Kalamay, bibingka, puto, suman and the likes are foods that considered
as part of the Abukeňo’s culture. The procedure in processing is being handed down through
generations that become livelihood opportunity for others especially during community
celebrations and festivities. Other than this, the Office of the Municipal Agriculturist had
conducted several trainings on meat processing and food processing. Food processing is in
cooperation with BPSU while the meat processing was being cooperated by Agri-Chexers
Corporation.
There is also an ice cream production in Barangay Gabon. The enterprise created a livelihood
opportunity for the local residents. In aquaculture, Abucay has 70 fish processors being provided
with 1 smoked house, 5 units of fish stalls, and 2 units of bamboo solar dryers. Their products
include tuyo (dried Fish), daing (smoked fish), relyenong bangus, spicy dilis, bagoong and
others, that creates job opportunities having great potential in the industry development.
Though the municipality of Abucay asserts a dynamic backgrounds and potentialities, as an

agricultural town, it still is vulnerable to a much greater changes in all aspects of living. That’s
why the local government is continuously planning and efficiently utilizing its resources for the
benefit of its people. By doing so, the following issues and concerns requires an attention and be
addressed.

Issues and Concerns
1. Lack of funds/budget.
2. Lack of competitive extension workers
3. Lack of vehicle for fast disseminations of projects and extension services
4. Slow processing of papers for the projects’ and programs’ accomplished
5. Strict implementations of ordinances in favor of agriculture and fishery development
6. Inadequate room area for the proper storage of rice seeds and other inputs for
interventions

location. The Abucay ARCADE- Trading Center in front of Abucay Mega Market.
Majority of the commercial activities mostly falls during markets days were goods from as far as
the interior part of the province as well as those coming from the barangays are displayed.
Furthermore, opening of new commercial and service activities are becoming a trend. This
includes completion of the new Abucay Public Market, financial services, education as well as in

adjacent barangays in the area, which may eventually become a part of growing economic
expansion area.

In the field of trading, manufacturing and processing women are dominant compared to men not
only in the urban area but also in the rural barangays. This activity is mainly on retailing or
vending and processing of food product. In the other feature men is majority in the services and
agri-aqua sector. Most of this enterprise requires hard labor and big investment. In the food and
beverage sector men and women are partly equal in the engagement.

Although services has the highest number of registered business, but in terms of the annual gross
income trading got the highest. Registered services are mostly jeepneys, motorcycle for hire and
van for hire which genets lesser income compared to the trading business which are engaged in
wholesaling and retailing.

Market Facility
Abucay has one of the most modern market facilities in terms of design and construction. The
new building still undergoes modifications to adjust its environment as to the actual usage of the
facility. Additional entry points and pathways are established in the wet market area to enhance
the condition of the stalls in the inner portion of the building. Drainage renovation inside the
market building and concreting of open spaces in front of the building which is also utilize as
area for parking are need to be develop to minimize its dusty condition especially on summer.
Tourism in Abucay has always remained a minor driver of economic activity despite the
presence of sites that can be developed The LGU had already identified more than a dozen
tourist spots and attractions. These can be classified into resorts, waterfalls, landscapes, historical
landmarks and even religious or pilgrim sites. Being a town and parish for four hundred thirty
(430) years since its first establishment in 1587 by the early Dominicans, its rich culture and
values remained intact made manifest regularly through its socio-cultural presentations.
Particularly and popularly revered traditions include the “Sambali” was celebrated every April
29th the feast of San Pedro de Veronica “APO ANTIN” and the Abu-kinaykay during its yearly
town fiesta every last week of October.

The string of Barangay Fiestas in the month of May considerably increases the town’s economic
activity during this time. Every day in May in Abucay is in festive mood. And the purchasing
power of the people is evidently full of zip.
Over the years, the LGU has attempted to include tourism as one of the pillars of the town’s
economic programs. Initially it formulated an ordinance creating the Municipal Tourism
Council.
The ordinance was in place but other equally important concerns failed the MTC to propel
thereby hampering its full implementation. The situation further delayed the formulation of the
Comprehensive Tourism Development Plans which could have had pushed for the diversification
of Abucay tourism potential destinations, attractions as well as its products to expand the
resource base and the market.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT SECTOR
HEALTH AND NUTRITION
National health programs are delivered in eleven (11) accessible, strategically placed
Barangay Health Stations and one (1) main Rural Health Unit with birthing facility.
Major health concerns include low Contraceptive Prevalence Rate, low percentage of fully
immunized children and exclusive breastfeeding, increasing incidence of dengue cases with
two (2) fatalities in 2016, and persistence of chronic lifestyle diseases as major causes of
morbidity and mortality. A number of deficiencies in the health system were recognized.
These consist of low PhilHealth enrollment of indigent families, poor implementation of
smoking control ordinance, unavailability of a 24-hours emergency transport vehicle, lack of
training in Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BeMONC) of most midwives,
poor implementation of the Magna Carta for health workers, and an outdated health
information system.
This report presents a municipal-wide situational analysis of health to address priority

concerns and strengthen public health advocacies.
Specific interventions or strategies were proposed to fix the identified health issues.
Sufficient supply of modern Family Planning methods and health education on Family
Planning should be provided for women of reproductive age to improve maternal health. To
address child health and nutrition, provision of adequate supply of vaccines and promotion of
Expanded Program on Immunization and exclusive breastfeeding should be done. For
dengue control and prevention, health education and control of vector mosquitoes are
imperative. Better health financing schemes have to be set up such as increasing the number
of indigent families for PhilHealth enrollment and promotion of Philhealth benefits to the
people. Support should be given for the full implementation of the Smoking Control
Ordinance to reduce the burden of Chronic Lifestyle Diseases associated with tobacco. A
new ambulance available 24-hour a day would ensure timely referral of patients to the
tertiary hospital, preventing severe complications and mortality. Hiring of additional health
personnel (midwives and nurses), providing them with training on health programs, and

ensuring adequate compensation and benefits would lead to a more efficient service delivery
in the municipality. Finally, health information management must be enhanced, i.e. setting-
up of the ICliniSys, to provide accurate and timely information for efficient provision of
health care.
GENERAL HEALTH STATUS
The Abucay Rural Health Unit provides all the priority government health services for the
municipality. It has been accredited by Philhealth to provide Primary Care Benefit, Maternity
Care Package, TB DOTS package and Malaria Package. In partnership with the University of
Sto. Tomas, it also provides rehabilitation services including physical therapy, occupational
therapy, and speech and language pathology for the people of Abucay and nearby municipalities.
In 2015, 20% of the municipal budget was allocated to health.
100% of NHTS members with Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension were given maintenance
medications under the DOH Compack program.
Detection Rate for TB cases was 150%, of which 98% were successfully treated.
In child health, the percentage of fully immunized children was low at 74%, while the percentage
of infants exclusively breastfed was only 52%. Prevalence of underweight and severely
underweight, however, was only 2.8%.
For maternal health, 99% of deliveries were facility-based and attended by skilled health
professionals. Contraceptive prevalence rate was only 36%.
For environmental health, 98% of households have access to safe water levels I, II and III, 100%
of which comply with the microbiological standards. Only 88% have sanitary toilet facilities.
Most common causes of morbidity include infections such as Upper Respiratory Infections,
Urinary Tract Infections, Acute tonsillopharyngitis, Acute Gastroenteritis, Pneumonia, and
Conjunctivitis. Dengue is another important cause of illness that has increased in prevalence by
33% in 2015.
Leading causes of mortality are mostly lifestyle-related diseases such as Coronary Artery
Disease, Cancer, Kidney Disease, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

The Rural Health Unit is manned by two (2) doctors, 1 Municipal Health Officer and 1 Rural
Health Physician. The doctors hold regular clinic from Monday to Friday that caters the 9
barangay of the municipality.
Meanwhile, the eight (8) midwives and three (3) nursing attendants assigned in the eleven (11)
Barangay Health Stations. Complementing the rural health unit is the barangay health stations,
one for each of the barangay under the care of the barangay health workers whose number is

commensurate to the size of the barangay population. Other health-related providers are the
Barangay Nutrition Scholars who take charge of the nutritional concerns of the barangay.
Among the basic health services of the rural health unit is the Maternal and Child Health
Program resulting to improve the health condition of the women and children. Prenatal care to all
pregnant women prevents maternal and neonatal deaths. Immunization among infants 0-11
months prevents the occurrence of illness.
From the figures in Table 3, shows the number of immunized children given per antigen in
complete dose and to declare as Fully Immunized Children. Shortage of vaccine supply
especially the Penta Vaccine is the major problem of the program in the first and second quarter
of the year. Regular Rapid Coverage Assessment (RCA) of the Nurse Deployment Program
(NDP) in all barangay helps a lot in the increase number of fully immunized children and renders
immunization even in the remote area.

The data shows a decrease number of severely underweight and underweight children over the
span of five years. There is also a remarkable decrease of overweight children which is also
alarming for developing cardio-vascular diseases. The sustained nutrition program of the LGU
has improved the nutritional status of the pre-schoolers not only the severely underweight but
also the overweight children.
Family Planning is promoted through conduct of Buntis Congress, USAPAN Session and Pre-
marital Counseling. Insufficient Family Planning supply affects the number of family planning
acceptors, the LGU procured the Family Planning supply in addition to the supply allocated by
the Department of Health and Provincial Health Office.

however Pap smear has a minimal charge.

The rural health unit implements other health programs for different types of illnesses. While
preventive measures are promoted and curative treatments are administered, cases still occur.

HEALTH NEEDS
1. GAPS IN HEALTH SERVICE DELIVERY
MATERNAL HEALTH
The Contraceptive Prevalence Rate in Abucay for 2015 was low at 36%, as compared to
National Target of 65%. This can be attributed to the insufficient supply of Modern Family

Planning Commodities such as Combined Oral Contraceptive (COC) and Depo-
medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA). Lack of awareness on family planning among women
of reproductive age may also be a factor.
In 2015, 1% of births were non-facility based, while 2% were premature deliveries, both
connected to gaps in counseling and care for pregnant women.
CHILD HEALTH AND NUTRITION
Only 74% of children were fully immunized in 2015. To reach the National Target of 95%, the
insufficient supply of some vaccines for Expanded Program on Immunization and lack of
awareness and motivation to have their children vaccinated among parents should be
addressed.
Exclusive breastfeeding was low at 52% in contrast to the National Target of 70%. This may
be explained by deficient motivation to breastfeed among mothers.
DENGUE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
From January to November 2016, there were two(2) fatalities due to Dengue which could have
been prevented if early consultation was done and good environmental hygiene was observed
to control vector mosquitoes.
2. GAPS IN HEALTH FINANCING
In 2015 about 20% of the municipal budget was allocated to health. However, only 120
indigent families including pregnant women were enrolled by the Local Government Unit to
Philhealth. Capitation fund was utilized for procurement of equipment and furnitures for the
Rural Health Unit.
3. GAPS IN HEALTH REGULATION
The Rural Health Unit complies with Department of Health licensing of the laboratory, X-ray
and Birthing Home, as well as PhilHealth Accreditation requirements for TB DOTS, MCP,
PCB and Malaria. National health policies such as the Milk Code and Unang Yakap are also
observed. Full implementation of the smoking control ordinance, however, has yet to be
realized.
4. GAPS IN HEALTH GOVERNANCE
The Rural Health Unit refers patients to Bataan General Hospital which is a tertiary hospital.
Conduction of patients, however, can sometimes be a problem because of unavailability of
transport vehicle. The ambulance for our birthing home and out-patient clinic is an eleven (11)
year old van that oftentimes breaks down, rendering it unreliable for emergency transport of
patients.

5. GAPS IN HUMAN RESOURCES FOR HEALTH
To meet the health needs of the people in the locality, there should be enough competent
health care providers. At the present, only nine (9) midwives are available for eleven (11)
Barangay Health Stations and Birthing Home; only two (2) were trained in Basic Emergency
Obstetric and Newborn Care (BeMONC); and almost all need refresher courses on other
health programs such as Expanded Program on Immunization, Family Planning, National
Tuberculosis Control Program and Integrated Management of Child Illnesses.
Also, the full amount of hazard pay has yet to be received by the health workers who are now
getting only Php 500.00 each per month.
6. GAPS IN HEALTH INFORMATION
Monthly reporting of program accomplishments in the barangays are being done manually by
the midwives. Late reporting and inaccuracy are common problems, hence, a more accurate
and timely reporting system must be put in place.

ISSUES AND CONCERN
Education in Abucay is one of the main concerns of the municipality, with the supportive
administrators and officials, education is given enough funds. Budgets were allocated for internet
of each school, electricity, and for the utilities.

archipelago. With this current curriculum, schools in Abucay experience some problems/ issues
in the transition, like materials in teaching. Due to increase in enrolment some schools in the
district need to divide the room to serve as temporary room for their pupils
There are also some schools in the municipality that need to be rehabilitating due to its small
land area. As stated “Education for All.”Due to distance from school there are children of school
age that were out of school youth. Child labour during harvest season is also a problem

Local Government Units (LGUs) in attaining and more responsive and accessible local
government units. Where in the LGUs have the primary responsibility for the provision of a
minimum set of service and facilities to their constituents in accordance with established national
policies and standards.
Consistent with the said local autonomy the Municipality of Abucay Bataan created the
Municipal Social Welfare Development Office to carry out and pursue government devolved
programs and services to provide care protection and rehabilitation of the vulnerable sector of the
society children, youth family, communities PWD, Senior Citizens and women in difficult
situation needing social welfare assistance and social work intervention to restore their social

The limitation is temporarily addressed with the mobilization of the barangay tanods in every
barangay and other force multipliers for the maintenance of peace and order in the municipality.
Despite with these challenges, response time of PNP personnel is satisfactory, this can be
attributed to the concrete road and availability of mobile patrol vehicle and motorcycles and
however, this is only true for barangays situated in the coastal areas considering that the access
roads going to upland barangay (Barangay Bangkal) are difficult to traverse especially during
rainy season.
The Abucay Police Station is equipped with communication facilities. It has three handheld
radios, a telephone system and an internet connection, as to office equipment, it has six computer
units.
Based on records, crime against person, crime against property and index crime drastically
decline due to intensified police operations implemented.

CRIME AGAINST PERSON CRIME AGAINST PROPERTY NON INDEX CRIME Column1
Based on Records, crime against person, crime against propety and non index crime drstically
decline due to intensified police operations implemented (Beat Patrol, Mobile Patrol, Checkpoint
and Oplan sita). The year 2016 and 1st semester of 2017 Abucay MPS conducted several anti-
illegal drug operations and on August 2016 Abucay MPS was rewarded a plaque of recognition
on its effort against illegal drug operation particularly on the implementation of “Project Double
Barrel”.
Abucay MPS got the highest apprehension in the whole Region 3 among all Class “C”
municipalities from July 1, 2016 up to 1st week of August 2016. More so, the municipality was
declared Drug Free on the month of October 2016. With all of these accomplishment the crime
volume decreased by five (5) incident from the 1 st semester of 2016 with a total crime volume of
sixty three (63) as compared to fifty eight (58) total crime volume of 1st semester 2017.
All of these accomplishments can be attributed to the collective effort of Abucay Municipal
Police Station personnel under the leadership of PSINSP EDSEL C CARBUNGCO Chief of
Police, with the active support of Sumbong Bilis Monitoring Team (SBMT) in every barangays,

successful aprehensions were made against drug pushers and users in the municipality of
Abucay.
Issues and Concern:
The most basic and effective form of crime prevention is “Patrol”, therefore logistical
requirement is imperative in peace and order maintainance, this is our greatest challenge since
only one (1) mobile patrol (Toyota hilux) is being utilize since the other patrol vehicle
(Mahindra) is unserviceable.In terms of IT equipment, although we have several computer units,
most of them are already outdated and obsolete.
Another issue is the lack of funding during our illegal drugs operations, in each drug operations
more or less ten thousand pesos (P10,000.00) is needed for surveillance, casing and up to the
operation proper funding is needed, In short from the pre-ops to the operation proper up to the
post operation funding is needed.
Another concern of this station is the proper building for our illegal drugs surenderee, since the
implementation of the Project double Barrel a total of 616 persons surendered. With all of these
surrendered a Reformation Program far launched by Bataan Police Provincial Office which was
adopted by every municipality in Bataan, we are indeed in need of support to cater and shelter
the needs of every surrenderee who are programed to undertake at least one (1) month of
reformation activities. As of July 2017 a total of seven batches have already undergone
reformation activitiesdespite no fund support from our municipality. These issue is our main
concern.

FIRE
The Bureau of Fire Protection, Abucay Fire Station which is mandated to prevent and suppress
fires, avoiding loss of life and damage to properties are extended to protective services. There are
ten (10) firemen personnel assigned in the municipality and they are complemented with three
(3) fire trucks but only one (1) is serviceable.
For its protective services, the BFP has two (2) handheld radios, two (2) computer unit and a
telephone system. These gadgets and equipment facilitated the extension of an effective and
efficient service delivery by the BFP

apparatus, the BFP was able to address fire prevention and suppression activities within their
area of responsibility.
On the other hand, the Municipal and Barangay Disaster Coordinating Councils are already
organized but needs to be strengthened through the conduct of trainings and other capability
building activities. The MDCC also realized that drills are still to be conducted to prepare the
citizenry in the event of calamities. With the help of BFP, fire exit drills and earthquake drills are
being conducted to different private and public institutions.

Physical Features
Topography and slope
The terrain of abucay from the coastal to mountainous areas is shown in the topographic map.
The highest point, with elevation 1,556 m, is located in Mt. Natib. Terrain ranges from level at
the eastern part or near the coastal areas, to very steep in the western part or at Mt. Natib or

Soil Texture
From the coastal to the mountainous areas, the soil texture are hydrosol, fine sandy loam, fine
sand, clay and undifferentiated.
Soil texture influences internal and external drainage, thus a consideration in agriculture and
infrastructure development. Soils which are predominantly clayey or fine texture have poor
internal and external drainage. Coarse to moderately-textured coarse soils have good external
and internal drainage.

River System
There are various rivers, creeks and spring traversing the municipality. These are sources of
surface water, which provide water supply to agricultural lands, freshwater aquaculture, tourism
establishments and poultry and piggery farms. Among the major ones are the salian River,
Paliwas River, Balantay River, Santa Cruz River and Apali River. Sibul Spring is a source of
water of Sibul Spring Resort and other creek, which eventually provides water supply to vast
agriculture areas and to the residential areas.
The Salian- Paliwas River System is the main drainage system in Abucay. The two rivers drain
into Manila Bay through the Abucay Channel.
Grass, shrub and trees serve as buffer along rivers. However in urban areas, buffer zones as
stipulated in the Philippine Water Code are not implemented in the municipality.
According to the Code there should be buffer areas of 40 m on both sides from the river banks in
forest, 20 m in built-up areas. This does not only prevent direct discharge of polluted and
untreated wastes and riverbank stabilization but also for the safety of the people, particularly in
areas that are frequently flooded.

VULNERABLE RISKS AND HAZARDS
The Municipality of Abucay, Bataan, is one of the coastal areas

in the Province of Bataan a naturally gifted with very rich
coastal resources. The fisher folk have been enjoying bountiful
harvest from their municipal waters even just after three to four
hours of fishing.
The municipality is always facing the challenges of natural

hazards such typhoons and monsoon winds, which frequently
affects not only the municipality of Abucay but the entire
Province of Bataan. The type of monsoon winds that regularly
hits Abucay is the South-West Monsoon during the month of November – December. Monsoon
rains that induced flooding and usually typhoons devastated the agriculture and fishery resources
of the municipality as well as the houses and other infrastructure and lifeline services of the
municipality. Aside from the direct effect of strong winds of the typhoon and big waves of the
monsoon winds, it produces also a huge amount of rainfalls to sea waters that causes floods to
low lying areas of the municipality.

COMPARISON SUMMARY OF 2013 TO 2016 OF NATURAL HAZARDS/ DISASTER
PRONE AREAS
 That in the span of three (3) years those barangays who are in the low to moderate
(Mabatang, Omboy, Calaylayan, Capitangan, Gabon, Laon, Salian and Wawa) level of
flood water is now engaged in the highly susceptible to flooding.
 As compared in the two (2) tables, the barangays with susceptible to landslide is
Mahogany St. Kakawate St. Narra St., of barangay Bangkal.
Note:
Low - 0-0.5 meter – depth of flood

Moderate - 0.51- 1 mtr. - depth of flood
High - 1 mtr.- depth of flood
Most flooding in the municipality occurs on floodplains. It is observed that the flood prone areas
with state height of floods that range from 0.5 meters (1.64 ft.) to 1( 3.28 ft.) meters high during
heavy rains. More so during high tide, are in the barangay Wawa (low lying areas-Bakawan &
barangay Omboy). Since flooding is a natural hazard and it is affected annually by intensive
tropical weather patterns, it resulted to a very significant financial cost and personal hardship
within the affected areas in the municipality.
Nevertheless, floods are to a great degree predictable in terms of location, depth and extent and
therefore appropriate measures can be taken to reduce flood risk and impact in the community.
Technical Findings of MDRRMC
Flooding
The settling of communities in high- risk is often a result of rapid and uncontrolled urbanization,
changes in land use, and greater variability to climate. These drivers alter population distribution,
relative wealth or poverty and disaster risk over a short time horizon. When combined with
inadequate urban management, these drivers will continue to exacerbate existing risks and
natural hazards.
The eight (8) residential barangays are affected or at risk from flooding. Almost 1,113
households in both formal and informal housing areas are affected as reported by Barangay
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committee. Factors that contributed of these floods
are uncontrollable residential developments along waterways and coastal areas, weak housing
materials, especially informal settlers, poor drainage system and outdated water pipes.

Sea level Rise with an elevation of 1 meter by the end of century based on the projections of
some organizations.
Loss of habitants and mangroves, reduction of land

resources and makeshift settlements are then
expected to suffer from this phenomenon.
Typhoon and Storm Surge
Storm surge are those settlements in coastal areas,

particularly the ___ informal settlers families whose
dwelling units are made of wood and light materials.
Storm surge, sea vessels and fishing boat are also likely
affected.
DROUGHT
Sensitive to this hazard are farmer families engaged in

crop production. The direct impact for three (3)
barangays (Gabon, Capitangan, and Calaylayan) is
The reduction on yield of crops. This readily translates

to diminishing disposable income for basic needs.

Based on this information the LGU of Abucay can make a better plan for the residential and
business investment. Land use planning is recognized as being the best means of avoiding or
minimizing future flooding problems that may affect the residents and property. Strategic
planning and enforcement of strategies like water drainage to counter the food is very vital.
The local policy planning approach are significant to address the problem on the local level.
Planning solutions must be driven on the higher authority. Coordination and integration are very
imperative in order to achieve the goal. Through local government unit its development
assessment and enforcement role can take positive action to minimize impacts.
Global Climate Change
Abucay, Bataan is now aware of the change in temperature.

Most of the farmers observed that rainy season formerly is on
July to September but now difficult to predict. Farm
production may vary and there will also be a change of crop
harvested. Even fishermen attest climate change affects their
source of income. Thus, concept of climate change for
agriculture is now incorporate and integrates through seminars
and orientation.

action on appointments and continuously been empowered that comes forth with the
accreditation program.
As of June, 2017, we have 81 permanent employees, 11 elected officials, 8 casual employees, 5

Contract of Service and 94 Job Orders. Attendance monitoring is done with the use biometric
system present in the municipal building and Rural Health Unit. Others use the manual filling-up
of Daily Time Record Form and Log Book.
There have been work related problems encountered by the administration due to the following
reasons: the number of regular employees in selected department is insufficient or work
assignment is not evenly distributed to employees to meet the service demands, subordinates lack
work motivations and opportunities to develop their knowledge and capabilities. These
negatively affect the performance of the LGU in terms of compliance and public service. The
administration should be aware of the deficiencies and think of the best way to address the
problem.
Training and seminars are available to employees but participants are limited due to personal
interest. The administration is very lenient in approving the same without receiving outputs or re-
echoing from attendees.
Supervision and imposition of sanctions is not properly imposed. Some employees may have
committed habitual tardiness, neglect of duty, abuse of authority and misconduct without any
administrative action.
The HRM Office is primarily responsible in addressing and implementing CSC rules and
regulations, programs and actions plans for employees’ welfare. But all depends on the Local
Chief Executive who has the authority to approve and take final actions and decisions.

FISCAL MANAGEMENT
Fiscal management involves the management of financial affairs, transactions and operations of
the local government unit. This is governed by fundamental principles set forth by the Local
Government Code of 1991 or RA 7160 and other pertinent laws. The challenge for LGUs in
fiscal management, especially those belonging to the lower class is to fully exercise its power of
taxation to maximize collection of locally generated revenues.
Revenues of the municipality of Abucay derived from local sources are classified into local taxes
and operating and miscellaneous revenues. Local taxes consist of the business tax, community
tax, real property tax and fees on weights and measures. While operating and miscellaneous
revenues is composed of permit fees, registration fees, clearance and certification fees, garbage
fees, inspection fees, medical, dental and laboratory fees, income from economic enterprises,
landing and parking fees, rentals and interest income. Among the local taxes, the top three (3)
sources in the proper order are business tax, real property tax and community tax. With regards
to operating and miscellaneous revenues the top three sources are the income from the market,
Sibul Spring and permit fees, respectively.
This is true from 2012-2016. Figure 5.2 presents the local revenues from 2012-2016.
Figure 5.2 shows that local revenue increased by 9.4 % from 2012 to 2013, and 2013 to 2014 by
11.9%. The 2015-2016 increased by 14.6%. That in 2012 to 2016 (5) yrs. the local government
unit yielded a high revenue due to the occupancy fees and of building business establishment,
on-time payment for the occupancy of stalls but noticed the increase of expenses for the business
operation

Revenues derived from local sources cannot substantially finance all budgetary requirements of
the municipality, thus the LGU relied on the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA).

2016 Php 85, 007, 367.00 Php 8, 933,558.59
Based on the figures shown, the LGU has a high dependency on the IRA which ranges from
90-91 % of the total revenue generated.

Due to huge budgetary requirements, the IRA and the local revenue are not substantial to finance
LGU operations, such as financing development projects/government infrastructure which
include among others, acquisition of heavy equipments, repairs and maintenance of public
buildings, road networks, waterworks rehabilitation systems and health and agricultural
programs. Thus, the municipality of Jagna through its officials sought financial assistance from
higher LGUs and from the national government to finance other programs and projects. Financial
counterpart was generated as well from its partner Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in
the delivery of health services.
Aside from sourcing out fund by accessing financial assistance, the LGU also opted to avail of
loan/borrowings from financial institutions. No arrear was incurred by the LGU considering that
the loan principal and its interest is automatically deducted from the IRA released monthly in the
LGU’s depository bank.
On the other hand, a vital part in administering financial affairs is the effective allocation of
resources through the budget. The budget reflects the Projections of Income and Expenditures so
with the LGU established priorities. The budget is a vital link for the planned programs and projects’
implementation. All contractual obligations and other budgetary requirements which include 45%
Personal services (with Abucay as a 3rd class municipality), 20% Development Fund, 5% Calamity
Fund, and 2% Discretionary fund (RPT) are set aside, prior to the appropriation for maintenance and
other operating expenditures. 5% of the total appropriation is also allocated for GAD related
programs, projects and activities (PPAs). From 2012-2016, expenditures/disbursements were in
accordance with the budget. Thus, the expenditures did not exceed the budget. Thus, the expenditures
did not exceed the budget while 2013 revenue generated deficit of 60% because of huge
expenditures.

For the 5% GAD Allocation, the table below shows the yearly 5% GAD allocation from 2005-
2009. These amounts were expended for supplemental feeding, trainings/seminars, and health
and agriculture programs, improvement of roads and bridges, provision of potable water and for
proper garbage disposal. Although there’s always a 5% allocation for GAD from the total
appropriation per year, there’s a need to make a further study and review of this allocation if the
programs, projects and activities being funded by this 5% allocation are really gender responsive
addressing gender issues and concerns.
On the other hand, comparing the LGU income and expenditure in a span of five (5) years,
Figure 5.9 bares that expenditures did not exceed the total revenue or receipts generated. It was
also noted that expenditures follow an upward trend. It increased from year to year but in no way
did it exceed the revenue/receipts generated. The balances were utilized to finance various
priority development projects.
