HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

. Established in 1807 under a Gobernadorcillo who was then called as the “Capitan Municipal” or Municipal Mayor. According to records on file, Don Nicolas Del Rosario was the first Capitan Municipal.

. Legend reveals that the word “Mogpog” originated from the word “Maapog” which means abundance of “apog” or “Mag-aapog” referring to the lime makers or manufacturers. A Calero (Lime Kiln or the place where the lime was manufactured) existed in the vicinity of Spaniards who adopted the name.

. In the late 17th and 18th century, the place where now stands the of Mogpog was rimmed with forested areas, the center of which was cultivated in patches and planted with rice and root crops. The hill known as Mataas na Bayan was the place then called “Anapog” where the Caleros (Kiln Tenders) and their families resided.

. As a form of recreation, they invented the “Tubong”, or “Putong”. It is a merry musical rendition accompanying dance steps to manifest thanksgiving and prayer for the well being and long life of the birthday celebrant or a newly arrived visitor from other places.

. “Apog” played a part in Spain’s effort to leave architectural heritage in the . The lime that was manufactured in Mogpog was used in the construction of heritage houses and buildings in the nearby towns of Mogpog, the Municipality of Boac and Sta. Cruz. At that time “apog” was a much needed and most sought materials like cement of today.

Soil Depth

. The established soil depth classes in the province are as follows: (1) Deep soils (>100 cm deep), give enough space for penetration into weathered rock or sandy layers that provide nutrients and water; (2) Moderately deep soils (50-100 cm), sufficient for root development of most annual crops and other tree crops when there is adequate moisture; and (3) Shallow soils (<50 cm deep) limited to shallow rooted crops or forest trees which hamper normal growth of deep rooted crops. Majority of the soil depth for Mogpog ranges from moderately deep to very deep.

Soil pH . Soil pH is being measured in terms of the hydrogen ion concentration of the aqueous phase of the soil. Essential elements for normal growth are in available form in soil pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. In addition, toxicity of some microelements is satisfactorily suppressed and available whenever sufficient quantity is present. This indicates therefore, that if pH value falls below 5.0, aluminum ion and manganese are unavailable and become toxic to the growth of some plants. In the same way, when pH value is higher than 8.0, it would mean insufficiency of ions, manganese and zinc. . The soil pH value in Mogpog ranges from 4.77 to 7.6, thus fertility level would vary in accordance with acidity.

The Existing General Land Use

. The municipality has a total land area of 9,847.8279 hectares as of RPTA 1980 data and a total population of 34,043 as of the 2015 Census of Population. It has thirty seven (37) barangays, eight (8) of which constitute the Poblacion area or the urban core.

WATER RESOURCES

. The municipality is traversed by Mogpog River whose potential for being the main source of potable water in the municipality is affected by pollution due to mine wastes coming from Marcopper Mining Corporation and the previously operating Consolidated Mines Inc. Mogpog River is also divided by a number of creeks, some of which are Nangka creek, Magapua creek, Manggamnan creek, and Paadyao creek. Other rivers also traversing the area are Balanacan River and Sayao River. The effect of the spill from the Marcopper Mining Corporation can still be seen along Mogpog River up to this time.
