INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE Vulnerability-Capacity Assessment (VCA) is a method of investigation into the risks that people face in their locality, their vulnerability to those risks and their capacity to cope with and recover from disasters. Its purpose is to increase community members’ awareness of risk and help them to plan activities for reducing vulnerability and increasing capacity before a disaster. VCA is a tool that enables local priorities to be identified and leads to the design of actions that contribute to disaster reduction. Thus, VCA is an integral part (but not the only part) of disaster risk reduction that can contribute to the creation of Community-based disaster preparedness programmes. For this, VCA should result in actions that community members can undertake and lead themselves. VCA is conducted using participatory approach, which facilitate to gather information and evaluate which can be used in decision making of the community to be able to respond or recover from disaster. This can also be used for recommendation purposes for the community to ask for assistance in small scale mitigation project for the barangay. It is expected the Government and non-government partners to use this to work together to strengthen Disaster Risk Reduction in every community. This Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (VCA) was conducted in Barangay Pula during the month of December. More than 40 people participated from the barangay. All those participants represent various groups including senior citizens, barangay officials, 4Ps, religious groups and youth and they were able to identify their risks posed by various hazards and means of mitigating those risks. This report presents the main outputs of the Vulnerability Capacity Assessment of the community, its possible solutions through action plan. 2.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION / COMMUNITY PROFILE 3.1 Geography and topography of the barangay The barangay has a total land area of 766,960 hectares and is bounded by Barangay Cabaroan on the north; Ipet Sudipen, La Union on the south; Barangay Ambalayat on the east; and Barangay Bio on the West. 3.2 History of the barangay Long time ago, Barangay Pula was merely occupied by huge trees, herbs, shrubs and many other different kinds of plants. It was discovered by a man from San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur, who came to the area in search for fertile land to till. On his way, he passed through the rivers of Amburayan and Chico which meet at a certain part of the river that form a deep part and wide fresh water where different kinds of fish and edible species thrive. Because of this sufficiency, charm and freshness of the river, he hurriedly dug the soil and found a rich loamy clay type of soil suitable for farming. He hurriedly went back to San Ildefonso to tell his family and relatives that he had finally found the land they were looking for. The man and his family went back to the fertile land and built their homes and started cultivating the lands. Until one day, when they were having their lunch at the fields, the red juice of their yiand “simmered crab” accidentally dripped to the soil. One member of the family had noticed that the juice of the simmered crab and the soil are alike in color. In Ilocano Dialect he said “amang Kiaqtem Didyay Daga Kasla Pula ti Kappi” Since then the fertile land was named “Pula” due to the red color of the soil and as red as that of the juice of the crabs that are caught in the fresh waters of rivers. 3.3 Demography of the barangay Demography Barangay Pula, Municipality/City, Province Number of Families 112 Number of Household 115 Population 640 Male 324 Female 316 Number of Children (below18 Male Female yrs) 6 | P a g e VULNERABILITY AND CAPACITY ASSESSMENT Number of person with disability Male Female Number of Elderly (above 60 Male Female yrs) Ethnicity and Religion: Most of the people are Roman Catholic and few are Iglesia ni Cristo Remarks no breakdown of male and female 4.

  • BARANGAY PROFILES 2019 – ITOGON I. BARANGAY PROFILE GENERAL INFORMATION Origin of Barangay Name. Barangay Dalupirip Existed E
    BARANGAY PROFILES 2019 – ITOGON I. BARANGAY PROFILE GENERAL INFORMATION Origin of Barangay Name. Barangay Dalupirip existed even before the Spanish came to the Philippines. It is known to be the main route of natives of the Upper Agno River going to the lowlands to barter their goods with lowland products, when lowlanders and the highlanders were not ‘cultured’ with each other. This place served as an area of reconnaissance and a place to spy enemies or rustlers. During the Spanish colonization, natives of Upper Agno Valley spotted the place to be an ideal area for pasture purposes. Ingusan agreed with his brother Tinaw-an to send their younger step-brother, Shuminguez to settle in this place. Don Jose Smith Fianza found this barangay and named it ‘Shalupirip’. According to old folks, Shalupirip could have been a combination of shalong and shipisip. The word shalong could be explained as road, trail or terrain usually declining, while shipisip could mean reconnaissance, to look into, to spy specially enemies or put something tightly as in cogon root, or make a thing flat. Until today , the name of the barangay is Shalupirip in Ibaloi, and registered as Dalupirip. Early Settlers. The Fianzas were recorded in the early Spanish archives of Itogon to be first settlers in the area. Like the Ibaloi settlement of Tinongdan, the residents claim that as far back as anyone can tell, the Fianzas were the original settlers of the place.

  • Increasing Community Participation Through Public Space and Policy Intervention: a Case Study on the Dap-Ayan System of Pinili, Ilocos Norte, Philippines 1
    Journal of Administrative Science Vol.10, Issue 1, 2013 Increasing Community Participation through Public Space And Policy Intervention: A Case Study On The Dap-Ayan System Of Pinili, Ilocos Norte, Philippines 1 Floper Gershwin E. Manuel ABSTRACT In the Philippines, particularly in some rural areas, a particular town is composed of various barangays[village] and these are politically and geographically subdivided into various puroks[this refers to zone, sub-barangay or neighborhood]. Each purok has their purok centers or dap-ayan which is a simple structure built in strategic place within the neighborhood. Each dap-ayan is usually headed by one or two barangay officials who are in- charge of the particular purok. In this regard, the members of the purok use their own resources in building, decorating and maintaining the beauty of their own dap-ayan. This research aimed at looking at the efficiency of the dap-ayan in the development process of a community. It is hoped to further analyze the use of the dap-ayan as a public space strengthened by a policy and how this has affected the community particularly in issues of community participation. The findings of the study showed that the common activities done in the dap-ayan include barangay meetings, purok meetings, dispute settlements and “The Clean and Green Program”. Some of the informants perceived that consultations in the dap-ayan are more effective since people get to have the chance to really discuss the different issues that they encounter within their purok. It is also notable that the dap-ayan has been serving as a mini “Hall of Justice” where minor issues like family feuds and small arguments are already settled in the dap-ayan.

  • Women's Representation in Local Politics: Evidence from The
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Women’s representation in local politics: Evidence from The Philippines Valente, Jordan and Moreno, Frede National Food Authority, Philippines, Alliance for International Education, Germany 8 August 2014 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/57903/ MPRA Paper No. 57903, posted 15 Aug 2014 11:01 UTC Women’s representation in local politics: Evidence from The Philippines Jordan L. Valente National Food Authority, Philippines Frede G. Moreno Alliance for International Education, Germany Abstract Although at the beginning of the 21st century, over 95 percent of all countries in the world have granted women the right to vote and the right to stand for election (Ballington & Karam, 2005), gender equality in terms of representation in political structures remains to be a challenge around the world. This study seeks to determine the level of political representation of women at the level of the smallest unit of Philippine government—the village or barangay. Data comparison—within a span of 11 years—using the results of the July 15, 2002 and October 28, 2013 barangay elections, shows an increase of women’s representation in the 98 barangays of Zamboanga City, Philippines. After the 2013 barangay elections, the total number of female Barangay Captains increased to 14 compared to 8 in the 2002 election results. A total of 159 female Barangay Councilors were also elected in 2013, an increase of 14 percent compared to the 139 female councilors who won in the 2002 elections. The increasing number of elected female barangay officials in 2013 reached 173 women (22 percent) compared to 147 (19 percent) in 2002.
