Macarascas, Puerto Princesa City on its political, economic, social, technological,
environmental, and law and order factors.

Concerns on political factor include stability of governance, election issues and

concerns, laws affecting the government unit, taxation policy or trade and regulations.

there is stability of governance in a way that it is able to provide essential services such
as: basic security, rule of law, and basic human need services to its people.

Macarascas Bay serve as excellent fishing grounds and important tourism resources.

There is an average of 3 tons (3,000 kg) of fish harvested weekly in Barangay

Macarscas. Fishery is the main source of income. Brackish water fish such as Kalapato

is the main catch. Shrimps and crabs are also available. Other agricultural products

include fruits and vegetables such as rambutan, papaya, pineapple, santol, avocado,

eggplant, okra, petsay, bean strings and squash. Rattan harvesting and wild honey

collection are also prevalent occupation.

Most people in this Barangay sell their products in the city proper since land

transportation access can easily be made through public utility jeepney. Localized trade

of these products within their barangay is rarely an option.

Some members of Palawan tribes derive income from harvesting almaciga resin

and selling the same to concessionaires and local traders in the province. However,

their
 1

earnings are meager and can barely meet basic needs, much less help uplift them from

poverty.However, agricultural production is occasionally for sale (when there is surplus)

and limited for self-consumption.

Tourism products were also develop in the area ,to spread the benefits of
tourism to the parts of the City natural attractions such as Agri tourism (farm visits)
snorkelling,diving, sports fishing,swimming and bay tour .
Availability of electric power hastens the modernization of any community

there’s no electricity households in areas not electrified were too few and too far to
justify extension of distribution of lines to them. 89.3% of Supplied by level II systems
wherein water is piped from the source to a common stand pipe serving a cluster of
households .Spring resources are available too as source of water. 60.7% of
households they are using firewood as source of fuel.

II INTRODUCTION
a. Purpose
As stipulated in the Declaration of Policy and Principles of RA 8551, known
as PNP Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998 as amended by Amending RA 6975,
says that the Philippine National Police (PNP) shall be a community and service-
oriented agency responsible for the maintenance of peace and order and public safety.

Similarly, Sec. 2 of RA 6975 declares that it its the policy of the State to
promote peace and order, ensure public safety, and further strengthen local government
capability aimed towards the effective delivery of the basic services to the citizenry
through the establishment of a highly efficient and competent police force that is national
in scope and civilian in character.

The foregoing legal bases, provide all personnel of Philippine National Police
and concerned stakeholders clear guidelines and mandates to carry out plans and
rograms with a common goal of promoting peace and order – basic services that must
be rendered to the community.

The policemen are intergral part of the community. They serve as a bridge
between the national agencies and the community. They are the extended arm of the
government in delivery of basic services. A strong and sturdy bridge builds a better,
stronger, resilient and peaceful community.

In particular, the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the
Philippines respond to the needs of the community throught programs like the
Community and Service Oriented Policing (CSOP), E-CLIPS and BARANGAYANIHAN.

Interestingly, the concluded community immersion conducted by the PSJLC

CLASS 2021-01 Bravo synergized all efforts of concerned agencies in the City of Puerto
Princesa. The class consolidated all the necessary services that the selected receipients
of Barangay Macarascas had been asking from their local government.

The above-mentioned five-day community immersion activity, brief as it may

seem, has been very fruitful. The most important tasks were carefully filtered to come up
with the most needed services and assistance that the community needs.

b. Scope

The scope of this study covers the Area of Responsibility (AOR) of Barangay
Macarascas, about ninety-three (93) minutes away from the town proper. People usually
travel by means of Four wheels, motorcycle, tricycle and bicycle. Barangay Macarascas
was divided into four (7) Purok namely: Purok Matahimik, Purok Bagong Pag -asa,
Purok Masagana ,Purok Masaya,Purok Bagong Sikat, Purok Maligaya and Purok
Mandaragat.

Purok Matahimik -One of the existing

Community based and potential eco-
tourism which have continued to
attract eco tourists in the City was
located in Sitio Baruang, Purok
Matahimik which is described as a
“island that isn’t an island,” but is
actually a small territory surrounded
by water that gives the impression of
being an island. The magical island is
only 500 square meters in size and is
bounded by water that runs to Ulugan
Bay, which is not far away. When the
sea water level is high, or because of
heavy rain, this land sinks and
reappears when the water level drops, in english. “Baruang Magic Island” was given to
the location because, despite its diminutive size, the area is home to a large number of
different species of birds, able to record 45 to 47 birds. It is described as a haven of
unparalleled beauty for avian and other forms of wildlife.
 3

Purok Bagong Pag -asa, Purok

Masagana, Purok Masaya, Purok
Bagong Sikat and Purok Maligaya
areas main source of livelihood was
agricultural like rice production,
vegetables, calamansi, cashew,
gardening and hog and poultry raising.
In this area also were Cattle Farming is
suitable. Agricultural production is
occasionally for sale (when there is
surplus) and limited for self-
consumption.

Purok Mandaragat has a widest

foreshore area and suitable for fish
sanctuary because of the extensive
Mangrove Forest. In this area, fishery
is the main source of income for
fishery products, brackish water fish
such as Kalapato ,seafoods are the
main catch. Most people in Barangay
sell their products in Puerto Princesa
City, since land access can be easily
made by commercial-based Jeepney
from these area to the City.
 3

Due to time constraints however, the

study focuses mainly on the PESTEL
factors affecting the Barangay
Macarascas. In formulating the
assessment, the SWOT analysis
technique by Albert Humphrey will be
utilized as it is proven to provide
information or result that is consistent in
the organization’s resources and
capabilities in the operational
environment.

constituents at the grassroots level. Viewed as village elders, they also work informally
with a number of organizations. None of the barangay officials were involved in illegal
activities. They ensure that taxes due are paid and evaders are punished.

imposition of curfew hours, information dissemination, and others. These activities play
an important role in preventing and stopping crime proliferation.

delivery of basic services; enforce laws and regulations relating to pollution
4
control and protection of the environment.
As of the moment, there is no intense political rivalry. However, there had
been reports of disfavorable treatment as regards delivery of social services towards
those constituents who are not allied to the current administration. Such being the case,
there is a possibility of change of political leadership in the upcoming 2023 barangay
elections.

Palawan has long been the source of food and nonfood based resources. The
whole country is enjoying the vast ocean surrounding the islands. It is proven to be a
rich source of fishery products and has been supplying major markets in the country.
Palawan’s local Fishermen have been harnessing the resources that insure food
security. While many of the fisher folks now enjoy the catch, the difficulty of having
those catch processed and marketed to high ends market is obvious .The lack of
facilities for post-harvest activities prevents the further development of fishery products.
Macarascas has only one multi-purpose cooperative with limited capital. There is
a small pension house in the area and a restaurant. At present, there are about 35 sari-
sari stores scattered throughout the barangay.
Despite the economic limitations stated above, the people of Macarascas had

area. Children of tender age are forced to do grown-men’s job just to earn a living.

the patient who comes here can be properly determined at an early stage so that proper
intervention can be given or recommended to the patients. It is likewise equipped with a
birthing facility. Having such, it can very much cater to the needs of pregnant patients,
especially so that the incidence of teenage pregnancy is rampant in the community.

identity and it influences political
and/or government systems
across the globe. Our
communities have been shaped
by religious beliefs and practices. Religion inspires some of the highest ethical ideals
and behaviour.

g. Important Events, Local Customs and

Traditions
 Barangay Macarascas celebrates the Feast of “Santo Niño” or “Holy Child”
every 3rd Sunday of January and the Foundation Day of Barangay Macarascas every
28th of April.
h. Social Problems /Drug Situation
Out of 66 barangays in Puerto Princesa, the barangay of Macarascas is
among the five Barangay declared drug-free. The declaration was made after DDB
validated and confirmed that this area does not have drug dens, pushers, users, and/or
that its officials were not participants of any anti-drug activities. The declaration was led
by Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) MIMAROPA Regional Director Mario
Ramos, in cooperation with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG)
and the Palawan Provincial Police Office (PPO). Macarascas has a record of estimated
17 drug dependents and suspected pushers surrendered. According to Dir. Ramos, “A
drug-free barangay means a community safe from the curse of illegal drugs.”.

6
A Barangay can only be declared drug-free if it passes the requirements of DDB
Regulation No. 3, which are: a) non-availability of drug supply; b) absence of drug dens,
pushers, and users; c) no clandestine drug laboratory; d) active involvement of
barangay officials in anti-illegal drug activities; e) existence of drug awareness
campaigns; and f) existence of voluntary and compulsory drug treatment and
rehabilitation processing desks. Macarascas has passed the foregoing criteria.
 6

VI TECHNOLOGICAL FACTOR
 Barangay Macarascas has only one cellular phone communication facility (Smart
Communications, Inc) with weak, inconsistent, or poor-quality signals. The only means
of communication is through cellular phone.
Communications technology plays a major role in our daily lives. It ease our work
and labor. In today’s digital era, communication facilitates smooth delivery of basic
service to people. Even the government relies heavily on this communications
technology. The absence or lack thereof has a great even on the growth and
development of the economy of Barangay Macarascas.
7
However, the absence of reliable communication technology is not all bad. In
fact, this disadvantage is one of the reasons why instances of cyber-related crimes
have not occurred in this Barangay. So, after all, being out of the cyber world might
bring some benefits too.

VII ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR

a. Environment

The City of Puerto Princesa

vehemently implements the environmental

protection and maintaining of the

environmental integrity. This is attained

through a clear balance between the built and

unbuilt environments, maximixing the use of

renewable energy, maintenance of litter free public and private places, and high level of

biodiversity in flora and fauna.

The increasing tourist traffic in the area is contributing to increased volume of

business for the locals. This might increase volume of garbage too. The barangay

officials strictly enforces laws and ordinances regarding waste management and

implements best practices on waste disposal. 

 Every year tons of garbage and marine debris wind up in our seas and coastlines,

with majority of that composed of plastic materials. Plastics are very hazardous to

marine life, killing birds, turtles, whales and an immense number of fish in our ocean.

Ocean trash is a serious pollution problem that affects the health of the people, marine

wildlife and local economies. This coastal clean-up activity in the barangay encourages

the coastal stewards to get to our beaches and help limit this problem by cleaning up

the garbage

that has washed up on shore and left by visitors every day.

The tree planting activity is

also one of the flagship programs of the

present PNP Administration in line with

the “Pulis Makakalikasan” core values

of the PNP to promote environmental

protection. PNP recognizes the great

need to address the problem on global warming and to save our mother earth. The

PNP encourages the citizens to cooperate and participate in the programs of the

National Police, especially in the preservation of our nature just as what was done in

this community immersion progam.

b. Tourism
One of the existing Community
based and potential eco-tourism site in
Barangay Macarascas is the “Baruang
Magic Island” located in Purok Matahimik.
It is described as a “island that isn’t an
island,” but is actually a small territory
surrounded by water that gives the
impression of being an island. The magical island is only 500 square meters in size and
is bounded by water that runs to Ulugan Bay, which is not far away. When the sea
water level is high, this land sinks and disappears. It resurfaces itself when the water
level drops. Despite its diminutive size, the area is home to a large number of different
species of birds. It is described as a haven of unparalleled beauty for avian and other
forms of wildlife.

7
c. Local Product \ Agriculture Output

By purchasing products that are produced locally by the Barangay

Macarascas is a simple act of love, support and patriotism to one’s local community and
country. One shall have the mindset that proudly local/pinoy products are always the
best. This act of patriotism stimulates the economy of the place which you live in.
Through this, jobs are created or retained; the community gains revenue; families and
cultures are supported; and economy fosters and grow.

In terms
of agriculture output,
Macarascas is rich
in aquatic resouces
like fish and sea
shells; fruits like
rambutan, papaya, pineapple and avocado; vegetables like eggplant, okra, petsay,
string beans and squash. Poulty raising is also a common occupation in the area.
8

e. Disaster Response and Control Capability

The Puerto
Princesa City government
has put up 24-hour
emergency response units
in preparation for every
typhoon that may landfall
in the City. Every time the
City or area was placed
under the highest disaster
alert level, all government agencies are required to be on standby for possible rescue
operations. The barangays, in particular, have been ordered to prepare for preemptive
evacuation in disaster-prone areas.

i. Disaster Prone Areas

Although living along a coast has many advantages, it also comes with a
unique set of hazards that can threaten lives, property, and economies. Natural
disasters and shoreline erosion are two of the main threats that coastal communities
face. Macarascas community is low in terms of Landslide susceptibility but the chances
to experience storm surge were very high, its tsunami susceptibility as shown on the
Map from CDRRMO its on the Red area were very high too which vulnerable to and
tsunamis ,its exposure to flood were low too. The potential of such events causing
catastrophic loss of life and property damage also rises. Shoreline erosion, a worldwide
phenomenon that is often exacerbated by coastal storms, is also increasing due to a
number of factors, including sea level rise and loss of wetland buffer areas.

The Barangay Macarascas were greatly flooded because of the sudden storm
surge during typhoon Odette. People in wharf lost everything people didn’t manage to
save their belongings because of the sudden storm surge, homes were also flooded
residents of an island nearby who suffered worse. Efforts should be made to maintain
greenery particularly on slopes , Trees should be planted on slopes like we did to

9
prevent oil erosion. If there’s an infrastructure/buildings or houses to be built,
vegetation and large trees should not be removed while constructing. Cutting of
tress and cutting of mangroves must be strictly prohibited.

VIII LAW AND ORDER

This factor takes a closer look on the barangay unit. It includes crime and
security environment and other issues and concerns that may affect the peace and
order situation in the area. Maintaining law and order means making sure everyone
follows the law, including the law enforcers themselves. Hence, making sure that
society run smoothly, with little conflict and known expectations that get properly
fulfilled. It likewise means known social roles with everyone doing their part and have
respect for others’ rights. After all, law and order is an essential ingredient in boosting
and maintaining the barangay’s economic development and political stability. It
facilitates the growth of investments, generates more employment opportunities and
attracts more tourists.

a. Government Unit
For a small unit of government like Barangay Macarascas, the barangay
structure is likewise not a simple one, it has an elected Punong Barangay, a
Sangguniang Barangay consisting of seven elected members, an SK Chairperson, an
appointive barangay secretary, and a brangay treasurer.

b. Law Enforcement and Other Security Forces

 Location of HQ 112th Marine Brigader Company

10

There’s a Tourist Police near Barangay Macarascas which is situated in the

neighboring Barangay Cabayugan. It is 25.1 km or 34 minutes-drive away from
Barangay Macarascas. Also, the 112th Marine Company is just 7.3 km or 8 minutes
travel from Macarascas. Barangay Macarascas is under the jurisdiction Police Station 2
located in Barangay Irawan, Puerto Princesa City which is 49 minutes and 42.3km
travel. The availability and accessibility of the said law enforcers imply that the
community is safe and free from insurgents. The barangay rest assured of their active
support to the PNP and NTF-ELCAC development programs.
c. Crime Environment
Desired qualities of community inhabitants looked upon as disciplined and
responsible stewards of the City’s ecosystems and resources. For the Social sector
people to be disciplined they must be a God-fearing; zero unsolved crimes, zero
number of children with conflict with law (CICL), zero number of dysfunctional
families,100 % compliance with various laws protecting Childern,women, and the
Family,100 % compliance with “No smoking in Public Places”,100 % observance of
curfew hours by
10
minors, zero illegal gambling. To be responsible they have to be empowered;
all children must be in school/Elementary/Secondary and to be able to do all these they
must be in good Health.
According to records from the Barangay and PNP CIRAS the Barangay
Macarascas has only one (1) recorderd case in 2019; one (1) case in 2020; four (4)
cases in 2021; four (4) cases in 2022; and one (1) case for this year 2023. The record
shows the infrequency of crimes in the Barangay. It is a confirmation of the effectiveness
of the crime prevention and law enforcement measures of both the PNP and the local
barangay officials. Hence, Macarascas is generally a safe and peaceful community.

X RECOMMENDATIONS

POLITICAL FACTOR

Since the barangay is always a place for a peaceful election both for National
and Local and with no political crisis, still the barangay officials must continue to
encourage their citizens to exercise their right to vote during elections. Inculcate in their
mind that their voice matters through voting. Remember that as a Filipino citizen, we
have the power to choose a leader that will make this country a better place to live in.

Political differences must be set-aside and should never be a criteria for

delivery of social services. Benefits, assistance and other service must be delivered
without regards as to whether a person is a political ally or not.

ECONOMIC FACTOR

 · Equipped residents with self-employment skills such as Cosmetology, Hair

cutting, carpentry, and furniture making and training on Tour guiding and
technical marketing support on tourist-related livelihoods such as: Massage, Tour
guiding., Soap making, souvenir bags (materials are to be sourced out) for
ecotourism Improve farm productivity through technical assistance from DA,
·
particularly on high value crops and in organic farming
Training/technical/marketing support/seed capital on
alternative livelihoods such as banig weaving,
handicraft making, seaweed farming, fish culture,
cashew nut processing, vegetable farming,
piggery/poultry
 · Technical know-how and support on upland
farming
 · Increase the frequency of visit to the Bgy
Enhance Clinic
 · Technological know-how and support on
backyard poultry
 More cooperation from residents
 ·
SOCIAL FACTOR
The children of teenage mothers are more likely to have lower school
achievement and to drop out of high school, have more health problems, be
incarcerated at some time during adolescence, give birth as a teenagers.
-Barangay council must support the SK in giving activities, programs for the
benefits of the Youth in Community.( Ball Games/Dance/Singing Workshops)
-Barangay Health workers as an advocates of health and educators of the
community must focus on the problem by giving seminars/lectures on the effect
of Teenage pregnancies.
-To Parents they must be an approachable parent, talking to their child comfortably, be it
to express feelings, share opinions or just ask questions. Establish dating
rules,curfews, and standards of expected behaviour, preferably through an open
process of family discussion and respectful communication.
- The PNP esp. WCPD must gave lectures too with regard to the problem and the PCR
must create activities that’s suitable for the Teenagers/Youth in the community.

12
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTOR
People are now spending even more time with technology while consuming
news media, watching television, using social media to connect with others, utilizing life
style apps to shop for groceries and other consumer goods. Hence, in order for the
people of Barangay Macarascas to go along with the trend, harnessing the technology
in the area is a must for positive coping. Additionally, being prone in some disaster,
presence of strong and better technology in the community is recommended to enhance
crisis/disaster preparedness, response and consequence management of natural man-
made disasters.
The City Government and/or the Barangay must negotiate or propose to the
National Telecommunications Commission and Cellular Service Providers to construct
cell sites in the area.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR
· Barangay council to proactively take actions to protect watershed and Reforestation of
the watershed
- Regulate and Monitor the Collection f Almaciga,Wildlife Honey and Rattan
crafts.
- Stricly implementations of Laws and Ordinances protecting the Environment.
 LAW AND ORDER FACTOR
Though the barangay is peaceful according to the residents and having low
crime according to PNP crime statistic, promoting peace in the community is an
extraordinary challenge and it often requires the work and dedication of community
members. Henceforth to promote peace and to prevent unnecessary activities to
happen beforehand we recommended:

A. PROMOTING PEACE AMONG NEIGHBORS

- Become more familiar to the barangay
- Plan a peaceful event
- Explore volunteer opportunities
- Make sure to have current contact information’s of the neighbors
- Go to local government meeting
B. EXPLORE COMMUNITY’S HISTORY
- Get the perspective of community members

12
C. DEALING WITH CRIME/VIOLENCE
- Assess/investigate the possible root of crime/violence
- Make a plan with neighbors how to deal with unnecessary activities
- Find out what has worked for other barangays
- Explore educational opportunities

Additionally, to address issues on illegal gambling the PSJLC Bravo Company

highly recommends healthy alternatives to gambling by replacing gambling behaviors
with positive ones, they can shift the focus away from the bad and towards the good.
Some gambling alternatives include: Physical Activity, Spending Family time and friends
who do not gamble,
We must all be collectively firm in asserting preference, applying solutions and
laying down the framework of policies for attaining peace and stability as a precursor to
progress and development empowering the citizens of Barangay Bondoc, promote an
environment of mutual trust and confidence and the people will continue to look up to
the PNP as their true servants and protectors. Together we shall hit the ground running
by enhancing police services where they matter most.

13. Age dependency ratio
The ratio of persons in “dependent” ages (generally under age 15 and
over age 64) to those in “economically productive” ages (15 to 64 years) in the
population.

It is sometimes divided into the old-age dependency (the ratio of people

aged 65 and older to those aged 15 to 64 years), and the child dependency (ratio
of people under 15 to those aged 15 to 64 years). Source: Philippine Statistics
Authority

14. Household Population

Source: Philippine Statistics Authority[compare with Institutional population]
15. Population

 The origins of the SWOT analysis technique is credited by Albert
Humphrey, who led a research project at Stanford University in the 1960s and
1970s using data from many top companies. The goal was to identify why corporate
planning failed. The resulting research identified many key areas, and the tool used
to explore each of the critical areas was called SOFT analysis. Humphrey and the
original research team used the categories “What is good in the present is
Satisfactory, good in the future is an Opportunity; bad in the present is a Fault and
bad in the future is a Threat.”
