Barangay Lipay

BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2018 - 2022
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1Rationale
Local government units are mandated to provide basic services to

promote the overall development of the community and its people. However it
is reality that most rural communities do not have the financial capability to
implement the identified demand driven programs and projects. Hence the need
to prioritize the projects in order to maximize the utilization of limited funds.
1.2Objective of the Plan
The plan is primarily aimed at presenting and appreciating the

existing situation by the barangay people themselves, analyzing the situation
using standards and other means of measurement to come up with identification
of needs and corresponding interventions.
1.3 Scope of the Plan
BARANGAY LIPAY
1
The scope and coverage of the plan is limited to the barangay of

Pangolingan, Palauig, Zambales for the period of five (5) years. The plan is
composed of two (2) parts, the barangay profile which is the result of the
participatory rural appraisal which defines the collective ideas of the residents
in terms of the history, culture and traditions, and resources as well as their
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The second part is the
barangay development plan that starts with the expression of the collective
vision and mission and presentation of their sectoral programs and projects.
1.4 Methodology
The participatory approach in plan formulation was used giving
weight to the data and experiences shared by the workshop participants. The
data and information were provided by the people themselves and processed
using the PRA tools. However in spite of this, we still cannot avoid mistakes
and deficiencies. This effort is just the beginning of an organized and orderly
journey towards development.
CHAPTER 2
Barangay Profile
2.1 Historical Background
BARANGAY LIPAY
2
A. Historical Sketch
Originally, Lipay was a thick forest located along the shores of China
Sea and only wild beasts lived in the area. There was an inlet between
Barangay Lipay and the neighboring Barangay San Juan that later expanded
to become a river and now serves as an anchorage to boats. In the past,
people were able to go to the other side of the barangay by means of a banca
and then they used stairs called “aryan” in going up the bank, so this place
was called “inayranan”. Later on, as the river expanded, a bridge was built
to allow barrio folks to cross conveniently. The act of crossing a river
through this bridge is called “lipay” in Zambal and from this term the
barangay got its name and it is now called Barangay Lipay.
2.2 Demography
Population and Household Size

Barangay Lipay has a total population of three thousand eight hundred
fourty two (3,842) as of 2014; one thousand nine hundred thirty six (1,936)
of which are males and one thousand nine hundred six (1,906) are females.
It has eight hundred twenty seven (827) households. There are three vacant
houses in the barangay.

Average number of children in a family is five. Average family size

ranges from six to eight. Eighty percent (80%) of the population practice
family planning. The most common family planning methods being adopted
by couples in the barangay are injectables, ligation, natural method and
withdrawal. Although most couples practice family planning methods, the
population of Barangay Lipay is still increasing because of natural birth and
migration from Bicol, Visayas and Pangasinan.
Most of the community members are Aglipayans while the rest are
Catholics, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Protestants,
Mormons, and members of the Iglesia ni Cristo and other religious sects
such as Patnubay ng Espiritu Santo, Dating Daan, Christian/Baptist, Church
of Christ and Church of England.
When it comes to education, most of the parents are high school and
vocational graduates. Many of the children are still studying in elementary
and high school. There are children that are already professionals. Children
who stop schooling work as fishers, or are employed to private
establishments. Ninety percent (90%) of houses in Barangay Lipay have
roofs made of G.I. sheets and ten percent (10%) have roofs made of nipa or
cogon. Ninety percent (90%) of the houses have walls made of concrete
materials and the rest have walls made of bamboo (sawali). Most houses
have windows that are made of glass while forty percent (40%) of houses
have traditional type of windows.

with most households located in Purok 5. The least number of households
reside in Purok 1. The concentration of households in Purok 5 is attributed to
its accessibility to institutional facilities, such as the Barangay Hall,
Elementary school, Barangay Health Station and Chapel as well as the
Barangay site where the households were relocated. (see Table No. 2)

Natural Resources
Barangay Lipay is abundant with natural resources which include tidal

flats, beach area, mangrove area, seagrass beds, agricultural area and reef
shoals. They serve as a source of food and income for the villagers that have
access to these resources.
Coral reef of Barangay Lipay is in poor condition according to the

community because of cyanide fishing in the area. The community
suggested that banning of collecting of aquarium fishes in the area will
prevent the use of cyanide. Seagrass is in very good condition while tidal
flats habitat is in fair condition due to the presence of garbage that are
sometimes scattered in the area especially after a turbulent sea weather
condition. Mangroves are in very good condition because of the
reforestation conducted in the barangay. Agricultural areas are in good
condition although these are rain feed dependent but produce high yields.
Uphill/mountains area is privately owned.
Issues and problems concerning the area are:
a. Presence of fish cages which affects the quality of water in the area
b. Gathering of aquarium fishes using compressor

Livelihood
The residents of Barangay Lipay earn their living by farming, fishing,
vending, seasonal labor and employment to public and private agencies or
establishments. Farmers used to harvest 70 cavans/hectare. Farmers are
complaining about the high cost of agricultural inputs. Vendors sell fish
caught by their husbands or sometimes they engaged in buy and sell.
Farmers also engage in fishing operation during dry season while fishers
shifted to farming during wet season. Fishers usually earn P6,000.00 a
month during peak season. On lean season, fishers earn 1,500.00 a month.
Financer is considered as the influential stakeholder in the community. The
financer provides gas, nets and motor for banca and in return fishers sold
their fish catch to the financier, who determines his buying price for fish.
Fish pond and fish cages are present in the area that cultures vannamei &
bangus. Seaweeds farm also existed in the community before but it failed.
There are more or less twenty (20) motorized banca in the locality and
all of these operate in municipal waters. Non-motorized banca no longer
exist in the barangay.

and mangrove reforestation. The Local Government of Palauig provided

Coastal Resources Management

but garbage disposal is one of the problems in the area. Mangrove nursery is
present and is being managed by the Peoples Organization. Members of the
organization conducted mangrove reforestation in the barangay. Some of
the destructive activities such as waste disposal and collecting of aquarium
fishes with the use of cyanide were identified by the community. Fish cages
were also identified as destructive because of waste materials such as feeds
that result to siltation. The community is aware that self discipline could
create a big impact and a good solution to these problems.

patrol boat, financial support and honorarium are the limitations of Bantay
Dagat to perform their responsibilities to enforce coastal laws.
