EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

TAMPILISAN became a municipality by virtue of Batas Pambansa Bilang 14

on December 22, 1978, upon the separation of the seven barangays in the southern
part of Liloy Municipality. The name Tampilisan originated from a tree called
“Tampilis”, which is about 1-3 fathom in height, belongs to a palm family, and is
abundant in the area. Its sturdy part when spitted was used by the natives – the
Subanen, as rafters and sidings of their huts. The fruits used for their chewing of
“mama” as a substitute for betel nuts. The municipality is rich in potential chromite
and clay sources, and the bigger portion of the land area is devoted to agriculture. It
is composed of 20 barangays. Based on the 2020 population census conducted by
the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the municipality registered 24,680 population
with a 0.32% increase from the 2015 population census.

The 2024 Annual Investment Program (AIP) of the Municipality of Tampilisan

is mostly appropriated for programs, projects, and activities that respond to the
community’s social and economic needs while preserving the Tampilisanon’s cultural
heritage. The crafting of the AIP is part of the continuing effort of the Municipal
Development Council (MDC) to live up to its mandate of prioritizing sectoral
investments in the municipality for funding and implementation. The AIP provides a
snapshot of the development investment of Tampilisan required to achieve the
targeted socio-economic growth and development, eventually its vision and continue
its mission.

Preparing the AIP is a necessary prelude to the budget preparation exercise

by the various offices and units of the Local Government Unit of Tampilisan and the
budgeting review process undertaken by the MDC in consonance with its mandate.
The annual investment programming exercise has made some significant strides in
improving the process. The innovations for the CY 2024 AIP preparation process are
looked at as improvements towards the continuing desire to achieve greater
synchronicity in planning, investment programming, and budgeting of the local
government.

During the 3rd quarter Joint Meeting of the Municipal Development Council
(MDC), Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC),
Municipal Peace and Order Council (MPOC) and the Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse
Council (MADAC) conducted last September 4, 2023, the MDC endorsed the
Calendar Year (CY2024) Annual Investment Program (AIP). The meeting was
presided over by the Chairman of all councils and Municipal Mayor, Hon. Norabeth T.
Carloto, and attended by members of the councils.

Based on CY 2024 budget estimates submitted by the Municipal Treasurer’s

Office, the total fund estimate is Php 150,016,960.00 which will be taken from the
share in the National Tax Allocation (NTA) as per Local Budget Memorandum
Circular No. 87, dated June 9, 2023 in the amount of Php 140,576,960.00 and
income from taxes, fees, and charges authorized in our Local Tax Revenue Code in
the estimated amount of Php 10,430,000.00. The fund estimate for CY 2024 is only
1% higher than the 2023 proposed annual budget of Php 148,916,960.00. This is

1
primarily because of the effect of the 14% decline in NTA of the LGUs in 2023 due to
the lower revenue collection in 2020 because of the muted economic activity during
the COVID-19 pandemic.

Figure
1. Distribution of PPAs per Sectoral classification

As to sectoral classification shown in the figure above, general public services

accounted for 44.27% of the total proposed PPAs for CY 2024 AIP including various
PPAs under the Office of the Mayor, legislative services, administrative support
services, peace and order program, debt servicing, and subsidy to operating units. It
is followed by economic services with 33.82% including the PPSAs related to
agriculture and operation of the Tampilisan Water System (TaWaS), Market
Operation, and Motorpool Operations; social services with 21.45% include the PPAs
related to education and manpower development, sports, cultural, public health,
social welfare, community development, and sanitary services; and other services
with 0.45% which include supports to updating of plans, implementation of local
ordinances and enforcement of laws.

Moreover, most of the proposed PPAs that constitute the core administrative
and operational task of the local government will be funded through the General
Fund, 20% Economic Development Fund, 5% DRRM Fund, 5% GAD Fund, 1% NTA
for the Protection of Children, 1% Senior Citizens and PWDs Fund and peace and
order expenses.

Moreover, LGU-Tampilisan utilized climate investment programming for a

systematic identification and prioritization of climate programs, projects, and activities,
and matching these with financial resources, to be implemented within a specified
time frame in the Municipality of Tampilisan.

ECONOMIC SERVICES SECTOR:

18
AGRICULTURAL SECTOR:
Agriculture is one of the primary economic drivers of the Municipality of
Tampilisan with farming and livestock raising as its main economic activities. The
present agricultural land area of the municipality represents 80.41% of its total area.
Out of 12,138.84 hectares of agricultural land, only 4,000.00 hectares or 32.952% are
presently used or devoted to crop production. The remaining 8,138.84 hectares or
67.048% is potential for other agricultural production or usage.

Table 16. Agricultural Land Areas of Tampilisan

Agricultural land Area (has) % To Total
Crop Production Area 4,000.00 32.95%
Potential areas for production 8,138.84 67.05%
Total land Area for Agriculture 12,138.84 100%

Sixty-five percent (65%) of the total number of households in the municipality

is basically engaged in farming. This economic activity is considered a family
business whereby the father is the farm owner and the mother and children are farm
workers. In some cases, women are hired as paid labor for specific lighter farm
operations receiving equal daily wage as that of men.

Figure 18. Agriculture Production Map of Tampilisan

Farming activities are not of plantation type but small, scattered, and of the
backyard scale. Land ownership in Tampilisan is basically characterized by small and
scattered parcels of land-holding mostly owned-cultivators who live in the locality;
absentee landlord of the new type – mostly residents of Poblacion who are either
professionals or business people whose farms are tilled either through tenancy,

19
leasehold or administrator-ship arrangements; and part owner-administrators in the
case of family landholding which have not yet been legally partitioned. While the
extent of land ownership needs to be accurately determined, most of the farmers are
a combination of tenants, leaseholders, and /or administrators.

Crops Production:
The main agricultural crops grown in the municipality are rubber, coconut,
rice, corn, root crops, vegetables, spices, bananas, and fruit trees for cash and/or
consumption. Cut flowers and ornamentals have also become sources of income.

In terms of production, rubber occupies a large percentage of the agricultural

land area of the municipality. The total land area planted for rubber is 6,743.5
hectares, which represents 55.5% of the total agricultural production area of the
municipality. Rice as the staple crop has 470 hectares planted for both irrigated (370
has.) and rainfed areas (100 has.) Rice farming served as the primary source of
subsistence for most farming households. The table below shows the main crop
production of the municipality.

Table 17. Crops Production Area in Tampilisan

Crops Area in hectares Percentage
Rubber 6,743.50 55.55%
Rice 470 3.87%
Corn 800 6.59%
Bananas 41.5 0.34%
Fruit Trees 108.75 0.90%
Vegetables 14 0.12%
Root Crops 100 0.82%
Palm Oil 18.00 0.15%
Others 3,843.09 31.66%
Total: 12,138.84 100.00%

Rubber is the major crop in terms of agriculture land usage. It is

predominantly grown in all parts of the municipality and serves as the main source of
cash for farmers and landowners. Income from rubber and coconut productions
supported the basic needs of most farm families but has been in the downtrend due
to fluctuating prices of rubber lumps and copra and low productivity caused by a lack
of improved varieties and production technologies.

The average yield per hectare for rice is 3.60 metric tons per hectare. For the
irrigated area, the average yield is 4.0mt./ha. While for the rainfed, it's 3.5mt/ha.
Production gaps for rice have been supplied by the major rice-producing
municipalities of the province. However, the imported National Food Authority (NFA)
rice has filled a big percentage of the gap, especially during lean months.

For corn, the average yield is 1.75mt./ha. Corn is widely grown and serves as
a substitute crop for rice, this is especially in rice areas that are declared rainfed.

20
 Banana production is basically small and only a backyard farming activity. It
is one of the affordable fruits available in the market especially that the local variety is
not as abundant as before. There is an increasing plantation of fruit trees in
Tampilisan to include mango which has a promising average yield of 4.0 MT/hectare,
also is the fruit papaya, marang, and jackfruit.

Root crop production includes cassava, camote, gabi and ube. Though,
mostly grown as backyard production, these serve as cash crops for the farmers.
However, some upland barangays use root crops as a substitute for rice in times of
scarcity. Ube and Peanut are another emerging commodity with potential economic
importance.

Small producers of vegetables and spices came from upland barangays of

the municipality. Presently, there are three (3) barangays whose vegetable and
spices production includes bell pepper, eggplant, ginger, garlic, tomato, beans
squash, sayote, cabbage, and carrots. However, some agro-traders from neighboring
municipalities come during Market Day bringing with them abundant supplies of these
kinds of vegetables and spices.

Farmers in Barangay Molos are embarking on the palm oil plantation with a
total area planted reaching to 18 hectares. Generally, palm oil is an emerging
commodity that offers additional opportunities to hasten local economic growth and
development but it is not yet proven in the province.

Production Support Facilities include farm implements, supply of farm inputs,

agriculture credit, and extension services facilities. The farm implements have been
acquired by the municipality through the Department of Agriculture like the 1-unit farm
tractor, 4-unit rice thresher, and 4-unit hand tractor, and are used by most farmers
during land preparation activities. The farm tractor is managed by the LGU while the
rest are donated to farmer’s cooperatives in the municipality.

Some farmers are just dependent on the subsidy program of the Local
Government Unit for the supply of seeds and fertilizer; though, production assistance
can be accessed by some farmers from the one (1) rural bank, multipurpose
cooperatives, and lending institutions that operate in Tampilisan. On the other hand,
the Philippine Crop Insurance Company (PCIC) has been extending services under
its insurance policy program to farmers and livestock raisers. The Department of
Agriculture has also offered programs to marginal farmers through lending, the so-
called “PUNLA” and “SAAD” a title like micro-financing to less fortunate farmers.
Through this intervention, a marginal farm can further develop his farm through a loan
with minimal interest and full payment after harvesting time.

Agricultural Extension Services are also provided by the Office of Municipal

Agriculture in the form of technical assistance and services to farmers, livestock, and
poultry raisers. Technical assistance to crops includes crop production and protection
covering rice, corn, root crops, vegetables, bananas, coconuts, and others. Among
other services being offered are the conduct of farmers’ classes, season-long
training, farmers’ meetings, cooking and processing demonstrations, business

21
planning workshops, field monitoring and evaluation. Provision of access to rice and
corn seeds, vegetable seeds, fruit and forest tree seedlings, coconut and banana
planting materials and other farm inputs has also been provided to the farmers by the
LGU in partnership with the Department of Agriculture.

Livestock Production:
Livestock and poultry production are also one of the livelihoods in the
municipality. It provides an alternative source of income to farmers. However, it
continues to be a backyard activity basically from home consumption. The
municipality has no full-scale commercial livestock production although there are
areas that can be tapped and suitable to pasture area.

The livestock population of the municipality with chicken numbering 27,000

heads, about 85% of the total livestock populations. Almost all household in
Tampilisan raise chicken primarily for consumption. The carabaos are raised to help
in the farm with about 2% of the total livestock population, while cattle, hog and goat
are raised for commercial purpose.

Marine and Aqua-culture Production:

The municipality of Tampilisan is twenty kilometers away from the shoreline.
Most of the marine products that are sold in the market come from other areas like
the municipalities of Liloy, Labason, and Sindangan. Because of scarcity, fish
products are very expensive although there is also the need to study the extent of the
role of middlemen in fish trading. The Office of the Municipality Agriculturist has
distributed fingerlings of Tilapia and other variety of fishes and some residents have
developed small pond for the purpose.

COMMERCE AND TRADE SECTOR:

There are ample registered businesses from the tertiary sector that are
engaged in trade, finance and business service, community, social, and personal
services. The majority of these establishments are wholesale and retail stores selling
various kinds of merchandise including meat, fish, and vegetable dealers. There are
also service shops, eateries, bakeries, and drugstores. Buying stations of copra,
palay are traded. Agricultural supplies, automotive parts dealers, appliance dealers,
and gasoline/refilling stations are also thriving.

The most common type of trading in Tampilisan is sari-sari stores, food

vending, rice retailing, and vending of agricultural products. There are also individuals
who are producing at the same time selling their products. Commercial activity is
largely concentrated in the Poblacion area where commercial establishments are
mostly located. Growth centers like Barangays Sto. Niño and Molos are developing
into little commercial hubs due to the establishment of rubber processing plants.

There are four (4) accommodation establishments that cater to tourists and
visitors of Tampilisan. Out of these four accommodation establishments, only one (1)
has been designated as Mabuhay Accommodations by the Department Of Tourism
(DOT)'s formal classification of lodging establishments.

The tourist sites were evaluated based on the availability of potable water, a
sewerage system, a solid waste management system, power, and
telecommunications. All existing tourist sites are served by a water supply system
from the local water district and their respective deep wheel, community water
association, and/or developed springs.

Telecommunication at the sites is primarily through mobile cellular phones.

Almost all of the sites are within the catchment radius of exiting Smart or Globe cell
sited though signal strength varies.

The tourism office's marketing and promotion plan will put the primary
emphasis on Tampilisan top attractions, particularly its stunning natural views and
resorts. For national and international markets, the LGU through the tourism office will

24
come-up a promotional videos and tourist vlogs in order to capture these multi-niche
target markets.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SECTOR:

Natural Forest:
Environmental protection and management is now on the frontline due to the
observed degradation of the environment. The close canopy forest no longer exists in
Tampilisan. However, it is believed that this significant situation was triggered due to
the encroachment of upland inhabitants and farmers that utilized the timberland for

25
agricultural purposes using “kaingin” practices, proliferation of timber poaching, fuel
wood extraction, and charcoal making some other illegal activities.

Figure 20. Forest Map of Tampilisan

Through the National Greening Program of the Department of Environment

and Natural Resources (DENR), a total of 849.06 hectares for agroforestry, timber
and bamboo species were implemented by the communities and People’s
Organization within the municipality of Tampilisan.

Water Bodies and Water Production Areas:

The municipality of Tampilisan is gifted with abundant bodies of water. The
municipality has many tributaries, rivers, and creeks with significant uses as sources
for irrigation, fishing grounds, and domestic and commercial uses; some have the
potential for tourism.

The Local Government of Tampilisan has its own operating LGU-run water
system facility that uses deep well sources and serves households within the urban
barangays.

Watershed and Sub-watershed Management:

The municipality has identified seven (7) sub-watersheds within the municipal
jurisdiction. There are 285.866 hectares of grasslands/brushlands and 660.731
hectares of shrubs accounted for the seven (7) sub-watersheds in the municipality.
However, a decrease of total 840.43 hectares with 29.07% in grassland and 45.49%
in shrubs was observed between 2010 and 2015. The changes in the vegetative
cover were mainly caused by human activities such as agriculture, forestry,
settlement, recreation, and water catchment.

26
 The DENR together with some barangays of Tampilisan had availed the
National Greening Program (NGP) development project and established plantations
of agroforestry, timber, and bamboo species that were implemented by the
community and the People’s Organization within the seven sub-watersheds. A total
of 849.06 hectares were provided with reforestation projects over the six (6) years.

 DEVELOPMENT THRUST POLICIES FOR 2024

The local Government is very dependent on its natural resources. Hence, the
Local Government Administration is committed to the policy of promoting the
maximum and efficient utilization and disposition of natural resources. In the field of
agricultural activities, every farmer is encouraged to adopt the modern technological
methods of farming so as to increase their productivity and strengthen the financial
assistance to viable livelihood programs and projects in order to generate more
income. Rehabilitation and improvement of the existing agri-support facilities and
other similar structures is very necessary for local and even exportation services can
be attained, effective legislative measures are very important for the protection and
management of our forest resources such as watershed, biodiversity, and areas
under the reforestation projects.

In the preparation of the countryside industrialization programs set by the

National Government, the Local Government has to give priority to skills and
capability-building programs through strengthening manpower skills training to
promote the establishment of small and medium industries in the municipality.

The Municipality of Tampilisan shall reactivate and strengthen the capability

of the Local Finance Committee (including the Municipal Assessor, Municipal
Treasurer, and representative of the private sector who shall assist the municipality in
fund sourcing from the private sector). The municipality also needs to have morally
upright and competent public servants who are committed to putting the public
interest at the forefront. Transparency, efficiency, and accountability must be
instituted in local fiscal administration. Public spending must be in compliance with
COA rules and regulations and existing pertinent laws.

Application for local permits and other documents to be secured from the
Municipal Government shall be processed using simplified procedures. Without
prejudice to check and balance in terms of the disbursement of funds, the procedures
shall likewise be simplified to prevent opportunities for graft and corruption.

The Local Project Monitoring Committee (LPMC) shall be tasked with the
annual monitoring and evaluation of programs, projects, and activities funded by the
Local Government of Tampilisan. The Municipal Planning and Development Office
shall serve as the secretariat of the committee, responsible for the collation of
pertinent documents and preparation of the findings and recommendations of the
committee.

Guided by the Budget Operations Manual for LGUs, the municipality shall
endeavor to have a balanced budget in the fiscal year of operation. The Local
Government Code already empowers the LGUs to source more funds to finance their
programs and projects. The local government shall undertake necessary measures
so as not to incur a budget deficit by avoiding the charging of expenditures to the
wrong accounts and overspending in certain expense accounts.

38
 Besides increasing its revenue base, the municipality needs to rationalize
local spending. This is by practicing sound fiscal management in terms of intensifying
revenue tax base sources and by judicious spending in order to optimize the share of
capital outlays, or the development fund. Rational spending also involves ranking or
prioritization of projects and other items of expenditure. With the Local Development
Investment Program, the municipality has screened, evaluated, ranked, and
prioritized items of expenditure. Identical projects and those that may be funded by
external sources such as from the national, regional, or provincial agencies are
identified to avoid unnecessary duplication.

Apart from local revenues, public borrowing may be resorted to as an

alternative option to source out funds for local projects. This is a progressive measure
to achieve development goals with utmost consideration for the capability of the
municipality to implement the projects. The rationale for resorting to this alternative
should be well-guided considering the long-term impact of the undertaking on the
socio-economic being of the municipality and its people as well as the financial
soundness of the undertaking. The LGU shall ensure that any undertaking to be
entered into with the private sector shall put forward the interest of its constituents.
