FOREWORD
The Updating of the Municipal Comprehensive Land Use Plan for CY 2010 –
2019 of the Local Government of Libona is the result of the cooperative efforts of our
constituents with the representation from various sectoral experts in the Government
and Non-Government Organizations.
This plan takes into serious consideration our constituents’ high expectation
and enthusiasm about Libona’s development in the next ten (10) years. These
developments are operationalized through the sectoral programs and projects as
embodied in the plan. This will geared towards the optimum utilization of land and
the compatibility of the different land uses.
To facilitate the implementation of this plan the Sangguniang Bayan

promulgated a Zoning Ordinance, which serves as the document to enforce it.


Office of the Municipal Mayor

II. BRIEF PROFILE
2.1 BRIEF HISTORY
Cultural History
According to history, gold had flourished in the locality that prompted people from the
neighboring towns to flock into this place in quest for golden fame and fortune. It was said
that on January 17,1817, a Spanish soldier who was on patrol was tasked to write down the
name of the places he would come across within the course of his mission. He happened to
pass by upon a group of men who were digging gold on one of the gold mines. Talking in
Spanish, the soldier inquired about the name of the place. The natives, who did not
understand the language, thought the soldier was asking them how many gold stones they
have already gathered. In response, they answered “Libo na”, meaning a thousand already.
The Spanish soldier jotted the word “Libona” in his record book believing it was the name of
the locality.
Political History
Libona was once a Municipal District of Maluko, now the Municipality of Manolo
Fortich, Bukidnon. It was created under Executive Order (EO) No. 5 dated April 4, 1917
issued by the then acting Governor of the defunct Department of Mindanao and Sulu. Due to
its progressive stride in both socio-economic and political arena, Libona was granted political
identity separating herself from the mother municipality by virtue of EO No. 272, dated
October 4, 1957 issued by Former President Carlos P. Garcia. Libona then became the 14th
municipality in the Province of Bukidnon.
Since its creation as a municipal district, Libona had already imbibed and
experienced political metamorphosis under the able leadership of the following
administrators:
1916 – 1937 = “Amay” Jesus Obalang

1938 – 1940 = “Amay” Hilarion Licunan
1940 – 1945 = “Amay “ Pedro Mamaclay (under the Japanese regime)

1950 – 1957 = Hon. Gerundio G. Saldivar
(first Municipal Mayor when Libona became a regular municipality)
1957-1958 = Hon. Rosendo A. Alcampado

1959-1960 = Hon. Leovigildo S. Tandog, Sr.

1960-1964 = Hon. Gerundio G. Saldivar
1965 – 1973 = Hon. Felix L. La Victoria
(died before the end of his 2nd term)
1973 – 1979 = Hon. Uldarico A. Lacerna
(Vice Mayor of Mayor La Victoria)
1979 – 1986 = Hon. Jesus A Yamut
1986 – 1987 = Hon. Alex P. Calingasan (OIC)
Dec.1-6, 1987 = Mr. Sunny Boy Salicobay, LGO III-DILG,
Office Caretaker
Dec. 7, 1987 = Hon. Oscar D. del Rosario, (OIC)
1988 – 1992 = Hon. Cecilio J. Tuyor
1992 – 2001 = Hon. Alex P. Calingasan
2001 – 2010 = Hon. Aurelio B. Lopez
2010 – 2013 = Hon. Leonardo Genesis T. Calingasan
(first automated national and local election)
Political Subdivisions
The municipality is divided into 14 barangays and 38 Sitios. The oldest and original

areas were developed due to the increase in population and grew into a regular barangay,
these are; Capihan, Gango, Kinawe, Laturan, Maambong, San Jose, Crossing, and
Palabucan.

2.3 PHYSICAL/INFRASTRUCTURE RESOURCES
Transportation Network
The Local Government of Libona in collaboration with the different agencies,

allocate funds for the Farm to Market Road Program. DPWH had listed human
development and a better quality of life for all Filipinos as overriding goals. To
achieve these, the role of transportation cannot be over emphasized since
transportation system provides the means for people goods and information to
circulate within and beyond the planning area, revitalizing the area’s economy and
socio-cultural life.
Being part, the transportation system of this municipality aims to improve the
quality of life, reduction of poverty especially in the rural areas and improvement in
the distribution of income. The circulating system of this municipality is through its
road network and bridge linkage between barangays and municipalities. The
provision of transport services in this town is solely in the hands of the private sector,
operate freely, subject only for the consideration of safety, environmental quality and
acceptable level of services.
ROADS
The existing road network of the municipality has a total length of 264.102
kms. As to administrative classification, national road is 33.055 kilometers; provincial
road 51.71 kilometers; municipal road 4.615 kilometers and barangay road 174.722
kilometers. About 5.19% of the road network has already been converted into
concrete and .68% into asphalt; 67.32% is still gravel paved and 26.81% is still earth
road. These are mostly barangay roads. The national road is being maintained by
DPWH. Some portions of the provincial road are being maintained by the DMPI
Company especially those within the pineapple plantation while the rest are being
maintained by the provincial, municipal and barangay government.
BRIDGES
There are 9 - bridge structures in the municipality. Most of these are still bailey
bridge. However, along the national highway three bridge structures were already
converted into Reinforced Concrete Bridge. Four of the Bailey bridge are maintained
by the DMPI, one of these is along the provincial road, the other one is in
need a major repair. Another reinforced concrete bridge connecting Libona-Baungon
road crossing Bobonawan River was put up by CEPALCO a private company during

the construction of a mini - hydro power plant under the agreement of the
government.
The municipality has also 10 footbridge and 5 spillways/box culverts. This

helps connecting some of the puroks, sitios, barangays and even neighboring
municipalities crossing through major rivers of Bobonawan and Agusan. The
Provincial Government, Local Government of Libona and other government agencies
like DAR-ADB, funds most of these footbridge and spillways/box culvert.
OTHER TRANSPORT FACILITIES AND MODE OF TRANSPORTATION
There is no existing structure that serves as terminal for either motorcycle or

jeepneys in the municipality. Due to this, the side of the road is used as parking area
for jeepneys and motor vehicles plying routes to the different barangays. There are
no big transport companies like Bachelor express passing in our area.
The mode of transportation used in the municipality is through jeepneys and

single motorcycle. In the inventory of land transport vehicles revealed that public
utility vehicles have greater in number compared to private vehicles.

2.3.2 UTILITIES: POWER WATER, COMMUNICATION NETWORK,

WASTE MANAGEMENT
POWER
Based on the 2007 primary survey results, the energization program of the
Municipality is generally successful with 62.98 percent of the households already
provided with electric power supply. Majority of the energized households or 58.29
percent are within the urban and urbanizing areas. It also shows that most of the un-
energized households are within the interior areas or outside the service areas of the
power utility provider.
Compared to the official/records from BUSECO, the actual number of

energized households is 3.72 percent higher. This may be due to some illegal
connections of some households who have more than one (1) structure within their
residential or farm lots.
Residential consumers are the major power users covering 91.33 percent of
the total number of consumers and likewise have the biggest consumption with 35.92
percent share of the total consumption. On the other hand, despite the insignificant
number of 26 industrial users, their consumption ranks next to residential users with a
30.60 percent share of the total consumption. Commercial consumers rank third with
its 29.48 percent power consumption although they ranked second to residential
users in terms of number of units.
With the major goal of providing infrastructure support to the socio-economic

development of the municipality, power supply for residential users shall increase with
the number of households based on the current data. Thus, by 2014, with an average
power consumption of 43.725 kwh/month for household, the total residential power is
projected to reach 294,531.60 kwh./month. This will increase to 309,660.45
kwh./month by 2019.

WATER
The Municipality of Libona has 14 barangays with a total household population

of 6,340 households. Eleven barangays served by Sigmatan Spring Development
located at Barangay Sil-ipon and the other 3 barangays used different deep well and
spring development within their barangays. A total of 57.80% used in Level III, 5.67%
used in Level II and the 36.52% still used in Level I which is shallow well and other
water sources. Those households that used level I are those areas that are far from
barangay proper. The local government unit through the Sigmatan Water Task Force
runs the Sigmatan Spring Development and the other 3-barangay water systems
were runs by their BAWASA’s.
The current volume of water requirements in urban barangays is about

196,923 gallons, 414,013.23 gallons in urbanizing and 437,468.25 gallons in rural
barangays with in Level III connection. As the population increases 11.43% from 2008
to 2019, the projected water volume consumption needed is also increases about
1,169,492.06 gallons or about 4,420.68 cubic meters per day based on level II and III
standards.
To meet this projected consumption in the future, the Local Government

allotted budget for the development and improvements of the water systems. The
LGU developed and improved the Sigmatan Water Works System through by contract
with the eligible private contractor. With this development, modern facilities were
installed like Water treatment Plant and Water Purifier Tank located at Barangay Sil-
ipon. Other 3 barangays developed different source of potable water within their
barangays.

COMMUNICATION
The constitution of the Republic of the Philippines recognizes the role of

communication in nation building. Communication plays an important part in human
development. The inclusion of communication in planning is essential to the functioning
and development of a modern society. It provides information even to the remote areas,
making the population more aware, informed and updated on the latest development
trends in all aspects of living and learning. Communication does not only improve the
standards of living of the citizenry but also promotes integration into the mainstream of
social and political activity.
POSTAL SERVICES
There is only one postal office in Libona manned by one postmaster receiving and
delivering postal services within the municipality. Postal Office scheduled every Tuesday
and Thursday only. In most cases, letters and packages delivered within the municipality
are picked-up by the punong barangays but limited only to ordinary mails.
The establishment of other means of communication has lowered the volume of

transactions daily by the postal office, which resulted to low income since people prefer to
send communication through talk and text messages.
TELEPHONE SERVICES
The municipality has no telephone landlines. However, there are four existing
communication transmitters owned by the SMART and the Globe Corporations. Aside
from these facilities, the municipal government has also established a local Radio
Communication Network linking barangays. At present, some residents are using cellular
phones and handheld radios as means of communication.
BROADCAST AND PRINT MEDIA
The municipality has no existing radio station; however, all of the radio stations
broadcasting from Cagayan de Oro, Cebu and Malaybalay City can be heard to all parts
of the municipality. Concerning television, 4 stations are available locally, channel 2 of
ABS-CBN, and channel 12 of GMA, channel 4 of Studio 23 and RPN 5. There is also one
Cable TV network run by DEARBC for subscription wherein subscribers can enjoy 31
channels from local and foreign TV networks.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The Local Government Unit acquires 2.4 hectares of land for a Controlled
Dumpsite Development through donation. The LGU also creates a Municipal Solid
Waste Management Board (MSWMB), chaired by the Municipal Mayor with members
from Sangguniang Bayan, other local and national agencies and offices. Their
main function serves as the planning and policy-making body that oversees the
overall implementation of the plan.
The Technical Working Group (TWG) and Municipal Solid Waste Mgt. Task
Force (MSWMTF) were also created to undertake the information, education
campaign and enforcement of policies, rules and regulation related to the adoption of
the Municipal Ordinance No. 1 - 99 series of 1999 and the RA 9003 or Solid
Waste Management Act in the municipality. The Municipal Engineering Office is in-
charge of the operation of solid waste management, particularly in garbage collection,
transport and maintenance of Controlled Dumpsite. It also provides equipment
needed as well as directly manages personnel involved such as municipal sweepers,
garbage collector, drivers and dumpsite personnel.
The Local Government Unit through the MEO provides & maintains one unit 10
wheeler dump truck for garbage collection and disposal. Other equipment supports
are backhoe, payloader and road grader for the dumpsite development. There is also
an existing Material Recovery Facility for the recovery processing and decomposition
of garbage collected before they are brought to the controlled dumpsite for the final
disposal (see separate 10-Year Municipal Solid Waste Management Plan CY 2004 – 2014).
Twelve (12) personnel are hired to manage the solid wastes collection in all
barangays (Table 52).
The management of DMPI does also their garbage collection for the two (2)
DMPI camps namely, Camp 9 of barangay Laturan and Camp 14 at barangay Sta.
Fe. They collect the non-biodegradable garbage only like bottles, metals, plastics and
these are sold to contracted buyers.
The Sanguniang Bayan promulgates the ordinances and regulations for

proper implementation of the Solid Waste Management Plan.

2.3.3 SOCIAL SERVICES FACILITIES/UTILITIES/AMENITIES
HOUSING
From 2000 – 2007, average household growth is also slow with its one (1)
percent growth rate. With an average household size of six (6) members per
household, it is expected that in year 2008, total number of households will be 6,004.
However, when compared to the projected number of households for the same
period, there is a difference of 345 households. This tends to show the presence of
doubled-up households or households/families living together in one unit or structure.
Majority or 62 percent these doubled-up households are living in the urban and
urbanizing barangays with 214 households.
Aside from the doubled-up households, there are also informal settlers living
within the right-of-ways of roads and bodies of water as well as in private lands.
These informal settlers within private lands are at first given consent by the owners
but when evicted later they stay on and do not leave the areas anymore. With the
absence of actual data, based on observations, it is assumed that 75 percent of the
total households fall under this category.
Households generally live within the settlement sites of barangayas and sitios,
but some, especially in the rural barangays, live within farmlands and mountain
areas.
There are 19 residential subdivision projects, nine (9) are government

initiated. From this total, 7 are approved as barangay sites of 4 urbanizing barangays
and 2 rural barangays. The remaining 2 government projects are socialized housing
projects located in the Poblacion.
The other ten (10) subdivision projects with 364 residential lots are privately
owned and are all located in the urban and urbanizing barangays. Eight (8) are
approved as orchards by the DENR but actually utilized for residential purposes. The
remaining two (2) are not approved either by DENR or by the local government unit.
The development in these sites, if not regulated, will become blighted areas,
considering the infrastructure utilities/facilities to be provided by the subdivision
owners.

General conditions of the residential structures in the urban and urbanizing

areas are constructed more than ten (10) years and are made of mixed and concrete
materials. In the rural areas where farm lots are dominant, structures are generally
made of light and mixed materials.
Total housing backlog will total to 703 households by year 2014. This will
increase by 236 households by year 2019 from the total, 77 percent will be doubled-
up and new formed households and the remaining 23 percent will be the expected
informal squatters who will migrate from rural to urban and from Cagayan de Oro City
as a result of the spill-over of development.

HEALTH
The municipal Health Office (MHO) is a primary health facility manned by a

Rural Health Physician, the Head of Unit, who serves as the supervisor of other
health personnel and as the clinician as well. Other health personnel detailed at the
Main Health Center are the following: Public Health Dentist, Medical Technologist,
Sanitary Inspector, Senior Midwife and Dental Aide. The rest of the midwives (12) are
assigned in different barangays.
Although the MHO is a devolved agency, it continues to implement the

different programs of the Department of Health as well as the programs of the LGU.
The Main Health Center Medical provides medical, dental and laboratory
services daily and on schedule at the Barangay Health Stations. The main thrust is on
the promotive and preventive aspects of health care.
There are a total of 16 health facilities which cater the health needs of the
community, fourteen (14) of which is operated by the LGU, one (1) by the Province
and one (1) private clinic at Barangay Crossing. The nearest tertiary referral hospitals
are at Camp Phillips (a private hospital) and at San Miguel (Government Hospital) all
in Manolo Fortich about 12 KM. and 22 KM. from Poblacion respectively. One
ambulance acquired thru LGU funds transport patients to referral hospitals.
A total of eight (8) health and nutrition Post were constructed by the LGU
to make health services available in far-flung areas. These serve as extension of
health facilities where midwives serve the clients health need as in dispensing of pills,
weighing of children, pre and post natalcheck-ups, immunization and health education
sessions.
The manpower provided by the LGU has not met the standard requirement of
the population except for the midwife, which exceeded the requirement by 185%
making the ration at one (1) midwife per 2,771 population. The LGU has allocated
funds to provide one (1) midwife per barangay with the highest population of 4,147
(Brgy. Gango), to meet the health needs of its constituents. There are 96 Barangay
Health Workers and 25-trained Traditional Birth Attendants who help augment the
existing health force.

Environmental Sanitation
Number of households with access to Potable Water Supply has significant

increased from 64.77% (2003) to 82.87% (2008). This is due to the fast tracking on
water-works project for the last 5 years.
Likewise, the number of HH with Water-sealed Toilet has increased by 10%,

from 67.99% in 2003 to 77.98% in 2008 (Table 11).
As to the management of Solid Waste, the LGU provided a truck for

community garbage collection. This is done in different barangays on scheduled basis
and eventually dumped in the Controlled Dumpsite located at Sitio Patag, Barangay
Poblacion. The barangays dispose their garbage thru community collection system
and most of the sitios dump their garbage in individual open pits, bury burn or
compost them and use as organic fertilizer.

EDUCATION
Elementary
Libona has 20 elementary school and 1 primary school serving 5,687

elementary pupils in the 14 barangay of the municipality. Six of these schools are still
serving several combination classes varying from grades I – VI, this schools are
Tigbao ES, Salvacion ES, Palabucan ES.
Majority of the 165 functional classrooms need minor repair or complete

rehabilitation. Although 3 schools have an excess 6 classrooms, these classrooms
were utilized as library, reading center, school clinic, NDEP center and multipurpose /
conference hall.
Every classroom endeavor to construct comfort rooms thru the help of the
PTCA and other stakeholders, 17 of the 21 school do not have comfort rooms outside
the classroom or within the school premises.
Based on the trend of enrolment in every school, Maambong, Poblacion and

Capehan elementary schools need additional classroom.
Twenty (20) of the 21 school sites were acquired thru donations. 1 school site
were purchased by the LGU thru the local school board. When this site opened a new
school sometimes in 2004, documents for issuance of land title were submitted for six
school sites while the rest are waiting for clearance regarding other claimants of land.
Based on the projection, the 21 elementary schools show an increasing

enrollment to 235% from 2011 to 2019. This shows that 21 schools need to have
additional classrooms of 260 from the existing of 169 rooms and teachers of 260 from
the existing of 155 teachers to meet the 1:50 new standards of teacher - pupils and
classroom – pupils’ ratio.
Secondary
The 2 secondary schools which are situated in Crossing and Kinawe caters
the educational need of the 14 barangays of the municipality including the
neighboring barangay of Manolo Fortich and Baungon Bukidnon respectively. LNHS

of Barangay Crossing has 39 available classrooms, 10 of which are in need for

repairs. While KNHS of Barangay Kinawe has 8 classrooms used for instructions,
2 others are utilized as computer and science laboratory rooms respectively. All 8
instructional classrooms needs repair.
The adequacy regarding the facilities based on national standards and

requirements for the secondary school have not actually been met by the two
secondary schools.
KNHS of Barangay Kinawe at present has a total land area of only 0.688
hectares, while LNHS Crossing has a total land area of 2.16 hectares but 60% of it is
sloping and are not useable for building site because it is reserve for river bank
allowance.
The two schools had a Student-Teacher ratio of 48:1 for KNHS and 50:1 for
LNHS. The student classroom ratio is 60:1 for KNHS and 65:1 for LNHS.
Accessibility of the educational facilities to the school-going age population in

relation to the location and safety of students is not an issue between the two
secondary schools. In fact, major rehabilitation of roads is ongoing.
However, the trends and present situation regarding the enrolment of the
students KNHS and LNHS has observed to be fluctuating from SY 2006 to 2010 due
to drop outs, poverty, distance and other related problems forcing them to stop school.
Average participating rate of the two secondary for the last 4 years is also
decreasing.
There is no existing technical/vocational school in the municipality.

SOCIAL WELFARE
The Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office is manned by a

Municipal Social Welfare and Development Officer and 4 Welfare Staff with 26
daycare workers and 1 Supervised Neighborhood Play worker as support to its
operation.
The office is the only instrumentality in the Municipality Catering to the needs
of the basic sectors. These are the children, youth, women, persons with disability,
Senior Citizens as well as the man made and natural calamities. The office is among
the frontline agencies delivering the basic services and mandate to care, protect and
rehabilitate that segment of the population, which has least in life in terms of physical,
mental and social well being. The office has developed programs and services
focusing on the disadvantaged with strategies along the rehabilitation of individual,
family and community.
The existing Social Welfare programs like the Self-employment Assistance

Kaunlaran particularly the Corn Production projects failed due to unstable prices of
the buying market. The roll back recovery for 2008 is 80%. The 26-Day Care Workers
and 92% of Day Care Centers were constructed based on DSWD’s regulations and
standards. The enrollment of pre-schoolers aged 3 to 5 years old children are
increasing because the parents have given importance on the early pre-school
education of their children and the usual ratio of Day Care Worker handling pre-
schoolers is 1:30 or 1 DCW per 30 pre-schoolers and most of them are handling 2
sessions morning and afternoon.
In 2008, the office has served about 4,632 clients.

PROTECTIVE SERVICES
The Philippine National Police (PNP) stationed in the locality is manned by

twenty (20) policemen and two (2) policewomen duly tasked to manned the peace
and order condition. Current police force disclose police population ratio of 1 : 1,654
posting a demand gap of fourteen (14) policemen to get the minimum ratio of 1 :
1000.
Police manpower deficit is being covered up by the support of twenty (20)

trained tanods in every barangay summing up to 280 municipal wide. The presence
of barangay tanod has greatly aided the PNP in the maintenance of peace and Order
in far-flung barangays, which had minimal police visibility. Every barangay has
provided with1 handheld radio as the only means of communication to and
from the main station for efficient responses to the call of duty.
There are 2 units of police car owned by the LGU and the PNP and 2 units of
police motor vehicle used for responses to emergency calls as well as other
protective mobile demands. Responses to both emergency calls and walk-in clients
are however hampered by lack of police personnel, lack of supplies, facilities and
equipment.
The municipality has no Bureau of Jail Management and Penology but has an
existing prison cell manned by a PNP Jail guard.
Records of crime incidence by Type for the past 3 years, 2006 – 2008 show
that topping the list is violation of RA 7610 (child abuse), with a total of 24 out of the
56 crime cases or 42.86 percent. Highest incidence was in 2007, which recorded 19
cases. This is followed by violation of RA 9262 otherwise known as violence against
women with 11, having its peak in 2006 with 5 cases.
Consolidated crime statistics for the past 3 years has this breakdown; crimes
against property with 15, showing theft as the lead crimes with 10 cases; other
crimes, 15 with illegal position of firearms/Ammos/explosives and oral deformation
topping the list with equal cases of 4; and crimes against moral and order with the
least number of 13 cases (total).

The past 3 years, 2006 – 2008, only one (1) fire incidence was recorded.
Although there is no Fire Station in the locality, one (1) unit 10-wheeler Fire truck with
accessories is readily available with job orders taking charge of it. The nearest fire
station is in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon and Del Monte Philippines. The municipality is
assured of immediate assistance when the need arise.

1.5 THE ECONOMIC STRUCTURE
1.5.1 Revenue Sources (industries, agricultural, etc.)
Agriculture is still the primary source of income in the municipality with crop
production as the dominant activity followed by livestock and poultry. With an existing
agricultural area of 11,907.49 hectares cultivated by 3,022 farmers, Protection land
covers 0.31% while Production land covers 99.69%.
Fishing, though yet in a minimum level, is gradually increasing through the

support of the Municipal Fish Hatchery. With the introduction of the high-yielding
Pangasius species, the inland fish culture is drawing more interest among the rural
fisher folks.
Mining is also one of the major sources of income mostly in Barangay Kinawe
and Gango, due to the presence of organized as small-scale miners by both local
residents and migrants mostly from Davao and other neighboring municipalities.

1.5.2 Employment
LABOR FORCE
Out of the 20,289 household population 15 years old and over in 2009, only 13,188 or
65 percent were employed and 1,217 or 6 percent were unemployed among the
economically active or in the labor force. The household population who were not in the
labor force comprised 30 percent.
A total of 3,022 farmers are heterogeneously scattered throughout the municipality.

As expected, majority of these farmers (89.69%) are in the rural areas and the remaining
10.31% are in the urban areas. There are 100 fisher folks involved in the inland fish
production. These were found in 29 small inland fishing areas in the barangays along the
major tributaries. There are 4,050 individuals involved in non-farming mostly in the private
companies like Del Monte, Agrinanas Corporation and in RVR Manpower. Only few
individuals engaged in professional works mostly in government agencies and high positions
in the private corporations. There were also individuals working in the neighboring
municipalities and city.

4.0 EXISTING LAND USE
The Municipality of Libona has total land area of 37,437.3175 hectares of

which 53 percent or 19,778.7449 hectares is classified as Alienable and Disposable
Area and 17,658.5726 hectares or 47 percent is a Forestland/Timberland Areas .
Existing General Land Use
The existing general land use map of Libona reveals that the municipality is
an agricultural and agro-industrial municipality. Nearly 28 percent of its total area is
devoted to agriculture and 24 percent is agro-industrial. This special use category of
land covers only a little percentage. Forestland in Libona is 17,658.5726 hectares or
about 47% of the municipal land area. This 47% of forestland covers the protected
and production areas.
The aggregate area covered under the built-up area category is a

manifestation of the municipality being rural area. It only accounts for nearly 0.73
percent of the municipality’s total area. These areas summed at 272.33 hectares and
are located mostly within the urban core of the barangays.
Existing Urban Land Use
Like almost all of the municipalities in the province, the Poblacion is

considered the urban area of the town. However, some other parts outside the
proximity of the Poblacion are now fast rising as urban areas as settlements begin to
form rapidly. For this reason, some barangays are appropriately considered as
urbanizing areas/urbanizing barangays.
In Libona seven (7) barangays of such type had been identified. To determine
the existing land uses of these barangays including the Poblacion itself, the MCLUP-
Board and TWG conducted an actual survey of the existing situation.

As a result, the following were determined as the existing extent of actual use
of the different land use category in the urban/urbanizing barangays. It is to be noted
however, that the survey is primarily focused on the urban core of the barangays
giving emphasis on the possible expansion areas. Thus, the area generated is not
reflective of the whole barangays’ area.

7.1 FUNCTIONAL ROLE OF THE MUNICIPALITY AS PER PROVINCIAL PHYSICAL

FRAMEWORK PLAN (PPFP) OR REGIONAL PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK PLAN
(RPFP) AND COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
Libona carries the role in Tourism Industry as visualized in the Provincial

Physical Framework Plan of Bukidnon. It is because Libona is graced by the beauty
of huge fields of pineapple plantations covering almost 22.8% of the municipality’s
area. Besides, the famous Mt. Kitanglad is the habitat of rare species and other
instinct wildlife lies within the municipality. Libona is also blessed with two main river
bodies. One, the Agusan river which is utilized by the Del Monte Philippines,
Incorporated to propel its turbines in generating power. The second is the
Bobonawan river which the Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company based in
Cagayan de Oro City also generates power.
Given such a role, Libona still envision as a developed agri-based industrial

community which is in line also with the provincial role of becoming a food basket in
Northern Mindanao. With an Alienable and Disposable area of 19,778.7449 hectares,
.04% covers the built-up areas, crop production area covers 53% while Industrial and
Agro-industrial covers and an area of 43%. This 43% includes livestock production,
banana, pineapple and other plantation. The municipality has contributed a lot to the
national economy since it is the major producer of for export pineapple. Aside
livestock and poultry also play a major role in the municipality’s economic activities.
There are 51 commercial scale livestock and poultry growers.
The municipality is also very much concerned of the well being of its people.
Thus, the municipal government is establishing subdivision sites for residential
housing at affordable cost so that the basic social services such as health, education,
power, water and social-infrastructure facilities will be equally shared of. The
municipality also provides venue for skills development on sports and capability
building. That a harmonious, healthy and secured living environment will affect a
more productive populace which contributes to the strength in the provincial level.
In development projects, the municipality has prioritized the improvement of

farm to market roads interconnecting between barangays for an easy access in
transporting farm products. Libona also remains its stand that every household
should have an access of water supply. In support to this proposal the Provincial
government has initiated for the development of the existing water supply to fully
serve the entire municipality’s population.

2.1 The Municipal Comprehensive Land Use Plan
The updating of the Municipal Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Libona represents
the community-desires pattern of distribution of population over its land area. It is also serves
a review of programs/projects/activities that are already accomplished and not. It will among
others delineate the future location of, and allocate land for the various land using activities.
Furthermore, it is a proposal for the future use of land that is in accordance with the social
and economic objectives of its people.
As it was subject to a public hearing, the plan therefore generally embodies the
expression of the community’s intent to what its future land use pattern would be. It identifies
areas that are to be devoted to various types, densities and intensities of use and
categorizes them into agriculture, forestry, commercial, industrial, residential, parks and
plaza, utilities and others.

VISION
LIBONA . . .

sustained eco-tourism, agri-based community, supported by
locally-managed, globally competitive enterprises with God -
loving, just and socially - responsive citizenry under a
transparent and politically-strong governance.

• Review the SWM Plan.
• Conduct barangay consultations and on-site training for Barangay officials on
SWM Plan.

THE STRUCTURE PLAN
Among the land use category in the urban core itself, land use for residential
purposes is foremost among the different uses that covers only .72 percent or
112.7276 hectares of the total urban land use area. Land use for commercial areas
covers an aggregate hectare of 6.9840 hectares and institutional area of 37.7722
hectares of the total area in the 7-urban/urbanizing barangays.
Workshops were made to determine the existing trend of development of

these 7 barangays identified. Development constraints and potentials of each of the
barangays were carefully looked into to determine their future role in the attainment of
the overall vision of the local government unit.
Roles of each barangays were anchored on the vision. After all alternatives
have been carefully analyzed, and given the development potentials and constraints
of each area, the preferred role of each urban/urbanizing barangays were determined
as follow:

Based on these roles and anchored on the vision of the LGU, the proposed scenario
or plan for each different land use category in the urban/urbanizing barangays was
conceptualized.
Residential
Residential areas for the Proposed Urban Land Use shall be allocated
152.3930 hectares. This will promote a Low Density Residential Zone.
The grid and spot type of settlement pattern of development will be

adopted. This type of development is socially and economically feasible with
the presence of educational, social, cultural, recreational and shopping
facilities within the midst of the urban population.
Moreover, the provision of additional infrastructure services and

utilities as well as circulation system will be within the means of the local
government. This will be integrated by providing large areas of open spaces
within the residential districts as either park/playground or buffers/easements.
All barangays were allocated expansion area for residential districts.

This is in order to cater to more inhabitants especially the newly formed
households as a result of the ever-growing population.
Commercial Area
A total of 23.4000 hectares shall be allocated for commercial use. This

area shall be distributed in both urban and urbanizing barangays. It shall be
the center of all commercial activities in the area. Terminals, public markets
and major commercial establishment shall be constructed in the area. In
barangay Crossing with its future role as URBAN CENTER (Commercial
Business District), a total of 11.0290 hectares shall be allocated for
commercial use. It was generally located at the heart of the residential zone,
which is along the sub-national road. Barangay Poblacion has allocated 6
hectares for commercial area. All other urbanizing barangays has allocated 1
hectare to 2.6 hectares for commercial area.

Institutional Area
Although institutional uses such as chapels and community facilities

are permitted within residential districts are, major institutional uses that
require bigger areas and intensive use shall be located within institutional
districts. A total of 26.8290 hectares shall be allocated out of the total urban
core. This institutional area shall accommodate government and non-
government institutions for education, health, religious and other social
services.
Industrial Area
No sites for industrial activities shall be allocated near the settlement

areas. An area of 91.2019 hectares for light industrial and quasi-commercial
industrial activities shall be accommodated outside the urban core.
Open Space
Functional and non-functional open spaces shall cover about 14.6420

hectares to support the green concept of urban development and eventually
incorporate the open space concept of settlement.
There shall be tree parks to be located along roads, creeks and

adjacent to institutional and commercial zones. Playgrounds and parks shall
be strategically located within the residential districts while easements are to
be found along creeks and/or bodies of waters.
Agricultural Lands
With the allocation of urban uses, agricultural land within the 7-

urban/urbanizing barangays will be reduced. These remaining areas for
agricultural activities include the protected lands and land distributed under
CARP.
The remaining agricultural lands within the urban area are generally
suitable for annual cultivated crops. Thus, the production of these types of
crops shall be promoted in order to sustain the land.

Cemeteries
There are only 9 barangays, which have existing public cemeteries.

The municipality still proposes to establish other sites for the four barangays
with no public cemeteries. Respective distances of these proposed cemeteries
from the settlement areas are properly observed and their topography shall be
generally flat and far from rivers and creeks.
Dumping Site
The solid waste generation in the municipality is composed primarily of

residential and agricultural wastes. At present, the LGU has a Controlled
Dump site and planned to convert into eco-park particularly located at Sitio
Patag, Poblacion, Libona with an approximate area of 2.4 Hectares.
This area duly inspected and evaluation by the DENR’s Bureau of

Mines and Geo-Sciences. They have seen site as suitable for landfill. This
controlled dumpsite is compliance to the Republic Act 9003, also known as
Solid Waste Management Act of 2003.

THE LAND USE PLAN
The land use plan of the municipality is presented and analyzed according to
two categories: The General and Urban Land Uses. The general land use presents a
broad or general classification of land uses for the entire municipality. For this
purpose, this is classified into four (4) major categories built-up areas, agricultural,
forest and special uses that are unique to the municipality.
The urban land use on the other hand, presents the detailed classification of
land uses in urban and urbanizing areas. It includes the following: residential,
commercial, industrial, institutional, parks/playgrounds, infrastructure/utilities and
other uses, which are normally found in the urban areas.
With these categories, the municipality identifies the 7-urban/urbanizing

barangays. Although these barangays are noted to be urban/urbanizing, agricultural
activities still plays a dominant role with 42 percent of the total urban land use area
followed by agro-industrial with 27 percent mostly pineapple plantation of the DMPI.
Urban Land Use Plan
The urban land use plan was conceptualized through a process that
called for a multi-sectoral participation. The urban land use plan of the
municipality was given primordial concern in the conceptualization of the
entire CLUP as this forms the basis of the municipal zoning ordinance. For
this purpose, a bottom-up planning approach was employed as
representatives from the barangays itself were asked to participate in the
planning process.
Five (5) barangays were already identified (CLUP 10-year planning

period 2001-2010) and the other Two (2) barangays was added to be part of
the urbanizing barangays. These barangays includes the Poblacion, Crossing,
Gangao, Kiliog, Kinawe, Laturan and Santa Fe, that perceived to be
urbanizable within the CLUP 10 - year planning period (2010-2019).

Shelter Plan
The existing residential areas within the urbanizing barangays are

situated mostly in appropriate sites.
As to the general design of the shelter plan of the municipality, it was

unanimously agreed that the grid and spot type of development would be the
system that will be implemented in the urbanizing barangays. This system is
made of rectangular blocks defined by parallel and intersecting streets. In this
manner, the residents within the urbanizing barangays can have ready access
to electricity, water, transportation, infrastructure, commercial and other
institutions, and thus uplift the living condition of the community.
Since all urbanizing barangays are categorized as high-density areas,

there are also two (2) existing sitios that are of high density. These are
Camps Luis Lorenzo Sr. and Camp 14 wherein the DMPI provides houses for
its employees. Aside from this, DMPI has also given them free access to
electricity, water supply, playgrounds and infrastructure. There are also public
schools and security guards that help maintain peace and order within the
vicinity of these Camps and its plantation.
Way back in 1984, the National Government through the then Ministry
of Human Settlements has provided Poblacion with BLISS project.
Unfortunately, this was not completed, only three houses were constructed
which were not even completely finished. In view of this, the Local government
subdivided the area, distributed the lots to interested individuals and is
presently occupied. The Provincial and Municipal Government also provide a
Pag-laum Housing Project is some barangays.
There are also private individuals who subdivided their land and sold
the lots for residential purposes without submission and approval from the
Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB).
The open spaces in the shelter plan, which is intended for parks and
playgrounds, are centrally located in order to make it accessible for the
children and its residents and to maximize the use of these facilities. The
Local Government Unit also puts infrastructure within the urbanizing
barangays such as covered courts and others.

The existing shelter area is being modified into a much larger shelter
plan in order to facilitate the relocation of the people living along danger areas,
the DMPI retirees, migrants and those who might want to settle and be
absorbed in our locality.
The general land use plan designates broad areas of the municipality into
functional uses with their respective development regulation. It defines areas suitable
for urban development (such as growth centers, industrial estates, etc.); prescribes
most suitable uses for agricultural and forest lands, and identifies areas where
development must be carefully regulated (conservation and preservation areas).
The general land use plan as mentioned has four major functional categories.
These are Agricultural, Forest, Settlements and/or Built-up Areas and Special Use
unique to the locality.
Environmental Management Plan
Environmental Sanitation
The Municipality of Libona is generally supportive of the clean and green

program of the province and Solid Waste Management of the national government.
As a result, the municipality had formulated a five year Municipal Solid Waste
Management Plan CY 2005-2009 to kept its environment clean and sanitary for the
past years.
For the past five years, the municipality had already practice the
implementation of solid waste management plan or disposal. The municipality had
provided a 2.4 hectares controlled dumpsite area. Most of the households practice
dumping their garbage to the compost pits. There were also individual’s practices
burning in their garbage disposal. The municipality had also provide a 10-wheeler
dump truck to collect garbage in all barangays with a scheduled days of collection
(refer 5-Year Solid Waste Management Plan CY 2005-2009).
The Municipality still has no adequate sewerage system for the disposal of
human wastes, kitchen refuse and other liquid waste. However, most of the
households have individual waste disposal systems. Human waste disposal is
partially sanitary with about 78.11 percent of the household population having water-
sealed toilets with septic tanks either used exclusively by a single household or
shared with other households.

Environmental Management
Industrial Waste Disposal
There had been only one industrial plant in the municipality. This was the
Agrinanas Packeging Housing by Agrinanas Corp. (Del Monte Fresh) established in
Barangay Sil-ipon. There were also small industries located in the Mining Area at Sitio
Manlau-yan of barangay Gango. This processing plants operates but no further
clearance from the DENR and other agencies including this municipality. On the other
hand, there are several agro-based industries that call for environmental
consideration. These are particularly the rice and corn mills that are located mostly
within the built-up areas and piggeries, cattle ranches and poultries.
Environmental Critical Areas
In contrast with the clean and sanitary environment in the lowlands, watershed
areas, just like those in the neighboring municipalities, have been partially denuded
by illegal logging and the effect of settlers within the protection forest or those over 50
percent slopes. Due to their denudation, waterways are silted but not polluted.
Gullies are also formed because of denuded critical slopes.
In order to promote a healthful and sustainable environment for the future

generations, it is necessary to rehabilitate the degrading conditions of forestall areas
and reforest watersheds with critical slopes. It is also wiser to encourage the people
to participate in the reforestation and forest protection programs.
Infrastructure Plan
As we enter, the new millennium development necessitates application of new

systems, strategies, procedures and technology. This is connected to man’s search for a
better living environment. Experience in the last decade showed that history of man has not
been seriously considered in coming up with an urban plan. Old traditional ways were,
restated, or replaced, as new insights accumulated and were established.

Existing
The existing road network in the urban area has only 6.00 meters width for
internal roads and 10.00 meters width for the barangays roads which provincial road
pass and 15.00 meters width for national highway. A total of 5.19% concrete
pavement road with a 4.00 meters to 6.00 meters width, and 6 inches to 10 inches
thickness. Some of this internal road do not met the standard width dimension and
some are dead end. Portions of the street roads are not passable during rainy
season. Moreover, these roads, which link adjacent urban and rural barangays, need
resurfacing. Some of these roads has no drainage system and flows down to canals,
creeks and rivers.
The absence of bus/ jeepneys terminal or parking facilities may cause traffic
congestion as vehicle users are forced to park along the streets. Though urbanized
areas have, waiting sheds and street lights this need proper maintenance.
Plan
The roads and streets of urbanized and urbanizing Barangay should meet the
standard specification of width and length as required in the plan. The Municipal and
Barangay road width shall increase from 7.00 meters to 10.00 meters, Provincial road
is 30.00 meters and National road of 60.00 meters in width. The municipality in
coordination with the DPWH had continue their plans to concretize the National
Highway with provision for drainage.
Additional circumferential roads in the urbanized areas for commercial zones

shall have a width of 15.00 to 20.00 meters in width. Additional street lights and road
signs shall be installed along the main roads especially in school zone and pedestrian
crossing to prevent traffic accidents. Moreover, there shall be more waiting sheds and
other public utilities for their convenient mobilization.
Water distribution system in urbanized area is grid development. The lateral

pipelines are placed along the side of the road it serving the municipality 24-hours a

day with quality water and adequate pressure, at reasonable rates. Construction of
reservoir and expansion of water system will be integrated in the plan to achieve the
optimum services from a level III water system. The local government shall update
the organization of water works to run and manage the water system.
The concerned agencies/electric cooperatives shall determine the extent of

service area; identify the capacity of existing facilities and equipment and; ascertain
the average monthly power consumption for all types of connections. It will provide
power 24 hours a day without power interruption. Also incorporated in the land use
plan is the provision for more power lines and poles to support the power needs of
additional commercial, industrial and residential consumers in the next few years. The
power lines and poles installed upon the rising of building structure with incorporate of
the land used plan. The plan projects an increase of kwh/month by type of user with a
total of 283,279.825 kwh in year 2010 and 4% increase of 294, 62.775 kwh for the
next 5 years 309,660.450 Kwh in the year 2019 or an increase of 9%.
The local government plays an important role in providing access to

communication and information. It shall provide adequate communication facilities,
which will make the population more aware, and update them with the latest
developments. The postal services of urbanized area should be expanded and made
more productive. Although cellphone companies were already present in the
municipality, the local government should also coordinate with the National
Telecommunication Corporation and the private companies if the area avails of
telephone services.
AGRICULTURAL LAND USE PLAN
The municipality of Libona has a total land area of 37,437.3175 hectares. Fifty
Three (53) percent or a total of 19,778.7449 hectares has been classified as
Alienable and Disposable of which 53 percent of this or 10,400.19 hectares this has
been devoted mainly for agriculture. The other 45 percent of the total A&D area or
8,851.54 hectares has been devoted to agro-industrial (pineapple, banana, poultries
& piggeries and others).

Corn has a most in production area of the Agricultural Land and followed by
high value crops like tomato, vegetables and fruit trees.
The CARP coverage to date is 5,567.9649 hectares. Most of this area comes
from NDC properties now the DEARBC with an area of 4,738 hectares or about 85%
of the existing coverage. Considering the land area of the municipality, which is
37,437.3175 hectares, this comprises only 15% of the present coverage.
Strategic Agricultural and Fisheries Development Zone (SAFDZ) is the center

of all Agri-development, where agricultural programs and projects of crops, livestock,
and fishery research focus not only production sustainability but also on agricultural
profitability.
Libona is Agronomically suited for the production of high value crops and
fruits.
Suitability map shows that the lower part of the municipality, Kiliog, Kinawe,
Gango, a part of Santa Fe and Palabucan are best for high value fruit crops. The
upper part of the municipality; Crossing and part of Santa Fe, Palabucan, Poblacion,
Nangka, Laturan, Pongol, San Jose, Maambong, Sil-ipon and Capihan is suited for
annual cultivated crops especially high value crops.
FOREST LAND USE PLAN
The total Forestlands of Libona is 17,658.5726 hectares or 47.17 percent of

the total land area.
This area was divided into two uses, namely:
1. Protection Forest
Easements - 2,707.7015 ha.

IFMA/SIFMA
An area of 1,419 hectares located at barangay Kiliog, Kinawe and Gango has
been allocated for Social/Integrated Forest Management Agreement and it was
planted with forest trees under the supervision of DENR for watershed rehabilitation
purposes.

PLA/FLGA
Based on the DENR records the actual area covered by PLA and FLGLA is
3,716.5000 hectares. This is located in barangay Palabucan, Poblacion, Palabucan,
Kili-og and Kinawe. In the plan, a portion of this area is proposed for tourism
development and for mining and quarrying activities.
CBFMA
Based on the DENR records, Libona has 5 registered CBFM Agreement with
an actual area of 4,634.02 hectares. This is located in Sitio Linay, Gango, barangay
Maambong, Capihan and Sil-ipon.
ISF
Libona has an existing ISF located at Barangays of Poblacion, Capihan and

Nangka with a total area of 689.46 hectares.
Mining/Quarrying
Mining operation exists in Barangay Gango with the area of 60 hectares inside
IFMA and mountain gravel quarrying is also practiced in Sitio Danao, Barangay
Palabucan. This will used for maintenance of road in Libona and in other neighboring
municipalities. Even though it is located within the Pasture lease area still the 800
hectares was allocated for the purpose.
Open Areas
Refers to cancelled PLA and portion of Buffer Zone at Capihan and Sil-ipon
and it is recommended for the expansion of whatever projects relative to
environmental development.
Buffer Zone
Buffer Zone is the boundary of the Protected Area and the Production Forest.
The area is absolutely 2,207 hectares delineated by the DENR.

Roads and Bridges
We identified two bridges and one spillway, which provide access to the same
areas of Production land namely:
Sinlagao Bridge, which is in the National Road, Lapinigan Bridge in the

barangay road and Bobonawan spillway in Gutasan-Kalasuyan road. At the same
time, these roads will serve as farm to market road.
SETTLEMENTS
The existing settlement pattern of the municipality shows that among the 14
barangays of Libona, barangay Crossing is the most settled part. This is due to the
presence of a secondary school. It is situated within the eastern part of the
municipality and nearer to Barangay Agusan of Manolo Fortich where people usually
meet during Sundays to sell and buy goods. Followed by Barangay Gango due to the
presence of mining activity in the area. Barangay Laturan and Santa Fe follow where
a greater part of the area were planted with pineapple by the DMPI were allocated a
portion of the plantation area for the resettlement of its workers. However, after
retirement or separation from the service, the right over the house automatically
ceases. The rest of the barangays are still low density.
The proposed settlement pattern of the identified urban and urbanizing

barangays, are still confining within the urban core of the barangays. With this,
Barangays Crossing is still the highest dense of area allotted for residential and
Barangay Kiliog is still lowest dense of the seven (7) urban and urbanizing barangay.
In rural barangays of Libona, settlements are ordinarily confined within the

urban core of each barangays. Although some barangays do have areas which can
be considered satellite area these are comparatively smaller compared to the urban
core.

INDUSTRIAL USE
Industrial area shall be largely confined at the northern part of the municipality.
A small area in the central and southern part within barangay San Jose shall also be
identified as industrial area. The total land coverage under this category shall be 100
hectares.
SPECIAL USE
Special use unique to the municipality is only tourism and other uses such as
controlled dumpsite, cemetery and the Bobonawan Power Corporation. There are
only 19.5565 hectares under this category.
Land use for tourism shall be limited to the development of potential tourist
spots in the municipality. This shall have an area of 24 hectares and the 20 hectares
are within the production land. The development shall be such that no degradation of
the natural environment will occur. In other words, tourism development will be
practically “environmentally-friendly”.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND DISASTER RISK REDUCTION PLAN
To address the Climate Change and Disaster Risk, the municipality formulates a
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan and Climate Change Adaption.
This plan includes organizing the Municipal DRRM Council, CCA and Team. This team is
composed of different concerned agencies from the LGU, National and Provincial Offices like
CENRO-DENR and PSWDO including the barangays. Survey and inventory of areas prone
to disasters were also conducted taken into account on MGB-DENR report. The plan
incorporates the essential and required trainings, seminars and orientations. Purchase of
vehicles and equipments are also integrated in the plan.
The table below, shows the MGB-DENR 10 Assessment result last 2009.

6.1 LOCAL ADMINISTRATION
SUB-SECTOR GOAL:
Provide better quality services to the

constituents.

4.1. Situational Analysis
4.1.1 Local Administration
Good local governance is the exercise of economic, political and

administrative authority to manage local government affairs. It comprises the
mechanisms, internal systems, processes and institutions through which citizens and
groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, meet their obligations and
mediate their differences. These are the hidden, unnoticed and routine side of local
governance whose effectiveness and efficiency the frontline units and people depend
for the performance of their tasks.
The new idea of accountability sees governance as enabling and empowering

people to participate more directly in decision-making processes that respond to their
needs. Government is ultimately accountable to the citizens who elect its leaders and
finance its operations with their taxes. More than lapses in procedures or
compliance, the greater abuse in this new paradigm is government’s
unresponsiveness to the needs and aspirations of its citizens.
The local government has been re-classified from a third class to a first class
municipality by virtue of Memorandum Circular No. 01-M (16)-08 of the Bureau of
Local Government Finance-Department of Finance dated November 24, 2008.
Presently, the local government still consists of 13 offices with a total workforce of 74
of which 58 are regular; 12 are elective; 3 are casual and 1 is temporary. To
supplement the workforce and to maximize the delivery of services by each office to
the constituents, the management hired 95 job-order employees, of which 40 are
deployed at the Engineering Office and the rest to other offices (Table 58).
The existing organizational structure and staffing pattern of the local

government is not suited to a first class municipality taking into account the present
volume of transactions at different offices (see Organizational Chart). With the
present re-classification of the municipality, the local government is in the process of
filling-up the vacant plantilla positions and likewise creating positions to meet the
manpower requirements of a first class municipality which eventually address the
problem on duality of functions of some employees and attend to the other important
responsibilities that are being overlooked and not given priority.
The LGU has organized special bodies as mandated by the Local

Government Code and likewise organized local policy-making bodies as prescribed
by other relevant laws such as the Municipal Solid Waste Management Board, Local

Council for the Protection of Children, Municipal Urban Development and Housing
Board, Sigmatan Waterworks Committee and the like. Each body has representation
from the Sangguniang Bayan and non-government organization as members. As to
its functionality, there is no regular conduct of monthly meeting and meeting can only
be held if and when the need arises.
As far as local
government facilities are
concerned, the local
government has just completed
the construction of the New
Municipal Hall worth PhP. 20M
which is jointly funded by the
Provincial Government of
Bukidnon and the local
government. It is worth
mentioning that all our fourteen
(14) barangays have barangay Halls, beautifully built and made of concrete
structures.
The local government created the Project Monitoring Committee to monitor

the status of implementation of on-going and completed projects. However, this
intervening function is given least priority considering the present voluminous
workload of its members. At present, only those projects that need immediate action
from the management are attended to.

6.2 LOCAL FINANCE
SUB-SECTOR GOAL:
Reduce dependence on internal

revenue allotment by increasing
collection of locally-sourced revenues.

4.2. Situational Analysis
4.2.1 Local Finance
Having met the average annual income of Php 55M and above, LIBONA is re-
classified from a third class to a first class municipality per Memorandum Circular No.
01-M (16) - 08 of the Bureau of Local Government Finance-Department of Finance
dated November 24, 2008.
The income re-classification of the municipality as first class serves as the

basis for the determination of the financial capability of the local government to
provide in full or in part the funding requirements of developmental projects and other
priority needs in the locality. Likewise, the income re-classification of the municipality
is used to determine the maximum amount expendable for salaries and wages, as
well as the salary scales and rates of allowances, per diems and other emoluments
that the local government officials and personnel may be entitled to the number of
sanggunian members and the implementation of personnel policies on promotions,
transfers and related matters at the local government level.
The municipality’s records of financial resources (Table 59) manifest an

increasing trend year after year. For CY 2007 to CY 2008, it shows an average
annual income of Php 63,989,495.94, which signifies an average growth of 5%.
However, 85% -90% of the revenues is attributed to the share of the municipality from
the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) while the remaining 10% -15% represents local
collections such as real property taxes, business taxes and licenses, community tax,
miscellaneous income, etc. With the foregoing fiscal representation, it is evident that
the municipal government is highly dependent on the Internal Revenue Allotment
(IRA), thus it can never implement programs/projects solely from local sources.
Despite its IRA dependency, the local government is still hopeful that in the
coming years, local revenues will increase considering the implementation of the
Revised Revenue Code with updated and increased fees and charges. The
emergent number of investors in the locality can also possibly contribute to the
increased local revenues. For the years 2010-2014, the local government anticipates
an increasing growth of its income as shown in Table. 61.
The fiscal resources, though limited in source, are well managed by the Local
Chief Executive with the aid of the Local Finance Committee, to equitably apportion
the resources of the local government and to control its disbursements. With the tight
budgeting and internal control management, the local government is still able to
obtain surplus at the end of the every year, because of the excess income collections

and appropriations over the obligations incurred on Personal Services (PS),

Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) and Budgetary Reserve
(Calamity Fund). This is justified as shown in Table 60.
As to the operations of Economic Enterprise, it denotes a substantial decrease

of income for a period of three years with an average growth of -3% as shown in
Table 61. This is brought about the non-renewal of some contracts on the Provincial
Roads Maintenance entered into by and between the Local Government of Libona
and the Provincial Government of Bukidnon as well as contracts with Del Monte
Philippines, Incorporated (DMPI).
