Expectations both from the government and various private sectors were evident, critics were loud and inequitable information were imputed against the Council. Natural and man-made catastrophes likewise challenged the unfaltering service of the Council and the faith of the Surigaonons, yet, it drew out the resilience of every Surigaonon, heightened the support system of the Sangguniang Panlungsod and its relationship with other Government Agencies, Non-Government Organizations, Civil Society Organizations, Private Sectors and other Local Government Units. Notwithstanding, members of the Council remained resolute in performing the powers and functions of being the legislative body of the City Government pursuant to the mandate of the Local Government Code.

The powers and functions of the Sangguniang Panlungsod are more pronounced with the promulgation of RA 7160 or the Local Government Code. The competence of the Council as a legislative body is more enhanced, equipped and guided particularly in the passage of resolution and crafting of ordinances.

The City Council is always bound for transparency and accountability for good governance. The 34th City Council is headed by City Vice Mayor Alfonso S. Casurra who is capably supported by the 11 Council Members. As the legislative body of the City, The Sanggunian acts in several mechanisms pursuant to the provisions of RA 7160; it creates and approves local ordinances and resolutions, review plans, programs and budget of the city, appropriate funds for the implementation of programs and projects and regulate use of lands, buildings and structures in the city and renewal of franchises.

The following are some of the measures undertaken by the Honorable Body in aid of legislation and likewise attested the efficiency and effectiveness of the body:

Table 1.0 shows the enrolment of Surigao City Division elementary schools from school year 2013-2014 to school year 2017-2018. An increased in enrolment 0.54% initially noticed between the first two school years but the (3.85%) average decrease in average enrolment for the past three years which is a striking finding that needs prudent action. This is an alarming decrease given that only a 2% increase/decrease is acceptable per planning standards. This decreasing trend in enrolment is attributed to the migration of families, transience of families, transfer of parents’ workplace, and transfer of residence.

On the other hand, the secondary enrolment showed an increasing trend because of the advocacy of adopt-a-pupil/student program, home visitation, intensive campaign for enrolment, monitoring and partnership with 4Ps Program, regular meeting with PTA, enforcement of the “No Collection” policy Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM), and Oplan Balik Eskwela campaign.

The decreasing trend in elementary participation rate implies that a portion in the city population aged 6-11, roughly 2% of said age group, have not attended formal elementary education. Those who were not reflected in this participation rate may have moved to the Alternative Learning System or migrated to other cities. The 99.87% participation rate was computed and based on the projected 2010 population census.

The fluctuating trend in the participation rate in the secondary level signifies that there is a wavering turnout of high school students attending school. Moreover, looking into the individual rates per school year, only a little over half of the population of learners who are supposed to be studying are actually in schools. It must be noted, however, that the City of Surigao is home to two schools divisions with the other division having a secondary school (Surigao Norte National High School) that accommodates a considerable number of learners. Hence, it is very likely that the uncaptured number of secondary students are in fact attending schools in the said school. The 54.22% participation rate is computed and based on projected 2010 population census.

The cohort-survival rate in the elementary schools showed an increasing trend from SY 2013- 2014 to SY2017-2018 with an average of 3.41% average increase for the school years cited. This implies that over the period of five school years, more learners finished the elementary level due to the holding power of teachers to their respective learners and parents, advocating the adopt- a- pupil/student program, employing the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM), monitoring and partnership with the 4Ps Program, doing intensive campaigns for enrolment, campaigning for Oplan Balik Eskwela, and doing home visitation. Nonetheless, the Cohort Survival Rate for SY2017-2018 still fell short of the target of 100% by about 12% thus concerted efforts of the education sector, together with the families and communities should be sustained to bring these children to school.

The cohort–survival rate in the secondary schools also increased by an average of 1.94% from SY 2013-2014 to SY2016-2017 but dropped by 1.71% in the ensuing year.

The trend in the Dropout rate in the elementary schools was erratic for three (3) consecutive school years. The 0.42% point decrease in dropout was a positive development as it signified that more learners were staying in school. The decrease is pinned on factors such as an improved school-home community relationship, Adopt-a- Child Program, intensified guidance program, and close monitoring of attendance.

The increasing trend of dropout rate in secondary schools is a matter of concern, the grounds for which was attributed the lack of interest as well as constraints in financial resources and family problems.

In the secondary level, the completion rate also increased by an average of 4.08% which was clearly a result of the strong partnership efforts of schools district, schools division, and stakeholders in general.

Of the 1,932 students in the Alternative Learning System (ALS), 170 or 8.8% are in the Basic Literacy Program, 353 or 18.27% are in the Accreditation and Equivalency in the elementary level, and 72.93% in the accreditation and equivalency in the secondary level. The figures show that almost three quarters of the ALS population are on the secondary level given perhaps the flexibility in terms of time and resources that the program allows. Keeping these learners in ALS learning centers has been a result of massive literacy mapping, ALS caravan and exhibits, ALS sports fest, literacy-musical competition, partnership with stakeholders and the establishment and repair of ALS learning centers funded from the Special Education Fund or SEF.

The results of the 2017 Phil-IRI (Philippine Informal Reading Inventory) of this Division, as reflected in the above Table point out that 35.2% of pupils and students of this pre-test cannot recognize words which are in Frustration Level, 34.4% can already recognize words which are in the Independent Level, while 30% is between struggling and “getting there”.

It can be gleaned from the results that for Word Recognition, there is a thin margin of difference between Frustration Level with 4,456 pupils/students and Independent Level with 4,362 pupil/students. While in the Reading Comprehension, there is a more pronounced number of pupils/students in the Frustration Level at 65.4% than those in the independent level at 12.4%. This shows that most of the reading testees cannot comprehend what they are reading. 2,879 pupils/students or 22.7% belong to Instructional Level, which means that they can understand to a little degree.

Both Word Recognition and Reading Comprehension categories presents the fact that many pupils/and students experience difficulties in the skill.

An Orientation and Grant Contract Signing was held at the Embassy of Japan in City in December 2017. The said event was graced by the Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines and attended by the City Mayor and key personnel of the City Government who were responsible for the implementation of the project.

The city government continued to extend educational assistance to poor but deserving students through Scholarship grants. 365 qualified students were able to enroll in the different technical- vocational institutions and higher education learning institution in the city during the year. The City invested close to P6.0M for the said program to ensure that poverty will not be a hindrance to the children’s quest for higher education.

In 2017, the city of Surigao registered a Crude Birth Rate (CBR) of 16.50 with 2,667 live births while the Crude Death Rate (CDR) was estimated at 5.77 with 927 deaths. These reflected a slight decrease from the CBR and CDR of the previous year. The Top three leading causes of mortality were Cardiovascular diseases, Cancer All Types and Multi-Organ Failure, and Septicemia. Pneumonia also turned out to be one of the leading causes of mortality replacing Accidents, which was more prominent in the previous year. Many of the leading causes of mortality for the past several years have been lifestyle-related.

The top common diseases consulted at the health centers including hospitals were Upper Respiratory Tract Infection, Urinary Tract Infection, Animal Bites, Cough and Colds and Hypertension.

The Infant Mortality Rate (or the probability of dying between birth and exactly 1 year of age, expressed per 1,000 live births) showed an increasing trend for the past two (2) years. In 2016 it increased by five (5) percentage points, thence further by 4 percentage points or 16.50 in 2017 with 26 male and 18 female infant deaths. Similarly, neo-natal mortality rate (or the probability of dying during the first 28 days of life, expressed per 1,000 live births) also registered an increase of 4.59 points. A .4 percentage point-increase was also reported on the rate of Maternal Mortality.

These unfavorable health outcomes were attributed to the unhealthy practice of pregnant women of not seeking early pre-natal consultation. Service delivery records showed that only 62% of the estimated total number of pregnant women sought at least four (4) pre-natal consultations throughout their pregnancy, in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Department of Health (DOH) guidelines.

Furthermore, Tetanus Toxoid (TT2+) coverage decreased from 50% in 2016 to 41% in 2017 due to the insufficient Supply of the TT2+ vaccine at health centers and the lack of resources for the pregnant women to procure the vaccine on their own. Hence, less women and births were protected against tetanus at the time of delivery. A woman immunized with at least two doses of tetanus toxoid according to the WHO develops antibodies that protect her infant against tetanus in the first two months of life. Tetanus-toxoid immunization is therefore an integral part of the Ante Natal Care (ANC) package.

Annual Report 2017 - | 42

In the same way, due to the insufficient supply at Rural health units and Barangay Health Stations, the coverage of complete Iron with Folic Acid supplement remained very low at 35% despite an increase of 6% as compared to the previous year. A total of 180 tablets of Iron with Folic Acid is recommended for every pregnant woman to prevent maternal anaemia, puerperal sepsis, low birth weight, and preterm birth.

During the year, the City Health Office sustained its campaign for 0 home delivery. As a result, there was an increase in the percentage of facility-based deliveries both public and private from 96% in 2016 to 98% in 2017. The table below shows the total number of facility-based deliveries for the four (4) health districts in the city.

Specifically in the public sector, there was a recorded increase of 5% in the deliveries at the four (4) birthing facilities despite the closure of the birthing facilities in Barangay Buenavista, Talisay and San Jose. As in the previous years, the birthing facility in San Juan registered the highest number of deliveries with 635, followed by Washington District birthing facility, Taft BEMONC and Luna Birthing facility with 466 deliveries, 311 deliveries and 249 deliveries respectively.

Massive campaigns of health personnel and community volunteer health workers on Maternal Newborn Child Health and Nutrition (MNCHN) and the WHO’s major goal of reducing maternal and neonatal mortality were consistently undertaken so that every delivery would be facility-based and managed by skilled birth attendants/skilled health professionals.

On postpartum care, WHO & DOH guidelines stipulate that postpartum mothers should have at least two (2) visits with one (1) visit within 24 hours after delivery and another within one (1) week after delivery. In 2017, Conduct of the Maternal Health Review records show that there were 1,684 postpartum women with at least two (2) visits, which reflects an increase from 63% in 2016 to 67% in 2017. Due to insufficient supply, a total of 996 postpartum mothers did not receive complete dosage of Ferrous Sulfate with Folic Acid, which is equivalent to three (3) months.

There were 50 recorded under five mortalities during the year, reflecting an increase of 11% from the previous year. 24 or 48% of the recorded deaths among children under five were due to Neonatal Sepsis, 5 or 10% were due to Pneumonia and 8% due to Prematurity. There was one (1) case of drowning during the year.

In the delivery of Child Care services, there were 1,023 out of the 1,661 newborns who were screened for certain harmful or potentially fatal disorders. Of this, 51 babies were found positive with Glocuse 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (G6PD) and were recommended for early medical management and treatment. As a result of the continued information, education and motivation campaign on the Newborn Screening Program, more mothers were convinced to submit their babies for screening.

The percentage of infants exclusively breastfed until six (6) months decreased from 81% in 2016 to 54% in 2017. This significant decrease was attributed to the change in the computation target set by the DOH. This indicator estimates the level of exclusive breastfeeding of infants through the end of their fifth month and can be used to examine current Exclusive Breastfeeding Rate (EBR) and trends over time. Indicators of current breastfeeding practices are sensitive to changes resulting from program activities. Human breast milk alone is the ideal food for infants in the first six months of life. Even in hot, dry climates, breast milk contains sufficient water for an infant’s needs. Additional water or sugary drinks are unnecessary to quench the infant’s thirst, and they can also be harmful. If the infant is also given water, or drinks made with water, then the risk of diarrhea and other illnesses increase.

Fully Immunized Children (FIC) is defined as infants who received one dose of BCG (Bacillus (or Bacille Calmette-Guerin), three doses each of OPV (Oral polio vaccine), DPT (diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus, and Hepatitis B vaccines, and one dose of measles vaccine before reaching one year. In 2017, the percentage of Fully Immunized Children (FIC) increased from 72% to 75%. Child immunization remains as a priority at the national and global levels, being part of the Philippine Development Plan and the Sustainable Development Goals, respectively.

III. ANIMAL TREATMENT

Due to regular animal disease prevention and control program consist of proper vaccination support as well as on-site vigilance of animal diseases and prompt diagnosis, isolation and treatment, a reduced number of animals were reported to be affected with disease based on the symptoms manifested.

In CY-2017, there was no reported major disease outbreak that affects the livestock sector except for minor illnesses affecting respiratory and digestive system in which immediate treatment were administered. A total of 809 heads of animals were treated which only shows 69.92% accomplishment against the target of 1,157 heads, benefiting a total of 361 clienteles. The total number of animals treated has increased by 14% compared against CY-2016 of 707. Table-14 shows the CY-2017 annual accomplishment data on livestock treatment; while Table-15 shows the comparative data on livestock treatment from year 2013 to 2017.

IV. DISEASE DIAGNOSTICS/LABORATORY SERVICES

The City Veterinary Office had been consistent in its strict monitoring of animals entering the city premises in order to prevent entry of possible disease outbreak and eliminate the spread of animal diseases in the locality. Blood samples from carabao, cattle, and goat were routinely collected for examination primarily to monitor, control and eradicate the incidence and prevalence of infections, notifiable diseases and parasites through the use of laboratory diagnostic procedures.

Last June of 2017, Animal Health Section personnel of the City Veterinary Office together with staff from the Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory of DA-RFO-XIII conducted periodic collection of blood samples for examination to monitor on the prevalence of common and emerging disease affecting livestock and poultry. A total of 108 blood samples were collected from carabao and cattle for Surra test; 57 blood samples collected from goat for Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis (CAE) test; 110 bloods samples collected from swine for CSF, PMWS and PRRS test. Out of the samples collected, four (4)

Annual Report 2017 - | 93

samples from goat showed positive result to CAE with which appropriate action through strict biosecurity was implemented in order to control the spread of infection. Since there was no recommended treatment for CAE, the four (4) goats were subjected to euthanasia. Table-16 shows the annual accomplishment data on blood collection/examination on livestock animals for CY-2017.

V. RABIES ERADICATION AND STRAY DOG CONTROL

In line with the National Government goal of controlling and preventing the spread of rabies to achieve a Rabies Free Philippines, the City Government thru the CVO sustained the Rabies Eradication and Stray Dog Control Program through massive house to house dog and cat rabies vaccination and registration using house to house approach, surgical dog/cat castration and spaying, decreased the animal bite incidence, institutionalized responsible pet ownership and promote animal welfare in the barangays, and continuous impounding/catching of stray dogs roaming along the streets.

The City Veterinary Office together with the City Health Office, jointly sustained the rabies elimination program in the city. In CY-2017, the reported human probable case of rabies was only one (1). Last March 2017, the City Government thru the CVO celebrated the Rabies Awareness Month with massive dog/cat rabies vaccination and registration in the urban Barangays of Taft and Washington; and Massive Dog/Cat free castration and spaying.

Rabies vaccination in the barangays was conducted by the city’s veterinary technicians with the support of the Barangay Rabies Prevention and Control Council. In CY-2017, a total of 6,636 dogs and cats have been vaccinated against rabies which is 68% of the total dog/cat population in the city benefiting 4,036 pet owners for free of charge. CVO also registered a total of 1,400 heads of dogs and cats in the city in compliance of the City Ordinance 374 series of 2014. The increased number of dogs/cats vaccinated was attributed to the positive response of pet owners on the deadly effect of rabies. Table-17 shows the annual accomplishment data on rabies eradication and stray dog control for CY-2017.

Control and management of stray dogs roaming around city’s street is carried out by trained and pre-exposed dog catchers. In 2017, CVO was able to impound a total of 216 stray dogs, of which seven (7) dogs were claimed by dog owners, 18 dogs were adopted and 111 dogs were humanely euthanized.

The CVO also regularly examined head or whole dog/cat carcass for rabies examination particularly those dog/cat that has history of dog bites. Out of the 11 samples examined, four (4)

Annual Report 2017 - | 96

samples confirmed positive. This means that there is still need for CVO to intensify further the rabies vaccination to all barangays.

Veterinary technicians conducting Surgical dog castration at the City Veterinary Office, Surigao City CVO also sustained the surgical dog/cat castration which is free of charge to control dog population in the city as well as to reduce the number of stray dogs that may become the main source of spread of rabies. In 2017, a total of 107 dogs/cats were castrated and 9 female dogs/cats were spayed.

On dog registration and rabies fee collection, CVO collected a total of Php141,520.00 or 90.80% accomplishment against the target of Php128,500.00. This is about 13% increase compared against CY- 2016 of Php125,300.00 total collection.

• ANIMAL PRODUCTION PROGRAM

Animal Production Program was designed to improve the quality and quantity of livestock and poultry population in the city, improve the production efficiency of the raisers and promote livestock and poultry raising as additional means of livelihood to uplift the economic condition of the farmers in the livestock poultry sector especially the backyard raisers.

Under this program, there were three (3) approaches that have been adopted to increase animal production in the city. First, is the animal dispersal/re-dispersal through infusion of quality breeder stock; second, is the artificial insemination and natural breeding; and third, is the forage and pasture development that cater local livestock and poultry raisers to address poverty as well as boosting the city’s economy in terms of livestock production.

The city has one (1) Animal Breeding Center operated by CVO located in Barangay Bonifacio. This breeding center maintains boars and sows which is the source of breeder stock for the dispersal program. Also these boars were intended as a source of semen for the daily artificial insemination services. The center has also stocked of breeder cattles and carabaos still for dispersal program of the city.

With the support from the Department of Agriculture under its Genetic Improvement Program (GIP), a new Animal Breeding Center is in its ongoing construction at Barangay Silop to be used as breeding center for swine production.

I. ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (AI) SERVICES

Artificial Insemination (AI) either in carabao, cattle, goat and swine was used to impregnate the females by using means other than natural breeding. This technique was handled by trained AI technicians to the farmers and backyard raisers free of charge. This AI services has been offered for several years which aims of improving the genetic quality of the local stocks which significantly helps improved productivity coupled with improved farmer’s income and livelihood. In CY-2017, the city government allocated a budget of Php700,000.00 for the implementation of the animal production program together with the continuous support from the Department of Agriculture through the provision of liquid nitrogen, AI kits and hormones.

For the supply of frozen semen for large animals, the city was dependent from the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC); while the supply of liquid nitrogen was provided by the Department of Agriculture-RFO-XIII; while the fresh semen used for artificial insemination in swine was from the boar stock at the city’s Animal Breeding Center.

In 2017, the CVO was able to inseminate a total of 230 caracows and cows or 124% accomplishment over the target of 185. There were 70 female carabaos and cattles confirmed pregnant out of the 230 heads that underwent pregnancy diagnosis.

In swine, a total of 584 sows/gilts were inseminated thru natural heat which is about 124.26% accomplishment against the target 470 heads. On the other hand, a total of seven (7) does was artificially inseminated with a low accomplishment of 28% against the target of 25. The decrease number of female goats inseminated was due to no available frozen semen from the semen processing center/stock farm at , .

Annual Report 2017 - | 99

The artificial insemination program benefited a total of 698 farmers in the mainland barangays of the city. This is however low of 3% compared against CY-2016 of 722 farmers benefiting the artificial insemination program. Table-22 shows the CY-2017 annual accomplishment data on livestock artificial insemination, while Table-23 shows the comparative data on animals artificially inseminated from years 2012 to 2017.

IV. FORAGE AND PASTURE DEVELOPMENT

Along with the activities implemented on increasing carabao, cattle and goat industry production in the city, CVO sustained the continuous availability of highly nutritious improved pasture grasses and legumes which serves as source of food. In fact, in the implementation of ruminant dispersal, it is prerequisite that the beneficiary must have enough land area for forage development.

The CVO sustained its existing forage and pasture propagation area planted with improve pasture grasses and legumes intended for distribution to farmers. CVO has validated and developed about 1.65 hectares of land for forage and pasture propagation at Sitio Panggaboon, Barangay Bonifacio in partnership with private owners. In 2017, a total of 10,000 assorted cuttings of improve pasture grasses and 450 seedlings of legumes were distributed to farmer-beneficiaries with the assistance from the Department of Agriculture-RFO-XIII thru its demo farms at Barangay Taguibo, Agusan Norte and

• MEAT PROCESSING PROGRAM

The City Veterinary Office sustained its meat processing training efforts to create livelihood to the people of Surigao particularly those that are unemployed. This broadly aims to develop and enhance the beneficiaries’ skills on utilizing meat and meat by-products, producing safe, low cost and nutritious processed products.

The city’s existing meat laboratory facility is undergoing upgrading especially in the smokehouse area in order to meet the required building flow of the meat processing laboratory set by the National Meat Inspection Services (NMIS). The said upgrading was funded by Department of Agriculture under the Agri-Pinoy Program amounting to Php250,000.00.

Despite the meat laboratory’s upgrading stage, the CVO’s program coordinator conducted five (5) trainings to organized groups or institutions, namely: Purok Chairman Association of Barangay Washington; Farmers Association of Barangay Ipil; Women’s Association of Barangay Lipata; Out of School Youth of Bahay Pag-asa; and Day Care Workers of Barangay Taft. Table-30 shows the annual accomplishment data on meat processing for CY-2017.

Table-36 shows that the volume of animal slaughtered in the city’s slaughterhouse has a decreasing trend since 2013 until 2016. However, in CY-2017, the animal slaughtered showed a positive increase of 15.81% (in total heads) and 8.80% (in total kilos). The positive increase could be attributable to the intensified public awareness that all animal meat for sale must be slaughtered at the city slaughterhouse; and that meat found displayed for sale that does not undergo proper inspection at the slaughterhouse is considered “hot meat” and should be confiscated. Another factor is that aside from the city public market, meat vendor during the “Tabo” increases and all meat displayed were slaughtered at the city slaughterhouse.

In CY-2017, the total income generated from the city slaughterhouse was about Php4,136,219.50. This is about 75.20% accomplishment against the target of Php5,500,000.00. Table-37 shows the annual data for slaughterhouse income for CY-2017.

The slaughterhouse income in CY-2013 has started to decrease by 1.4% compared against CY- 2012; the CY-2014 income decreased by 4.8% compared to CY-2013; the CY-2015 income also dropped by 4% against CY-2014; and, CY-2016 income also downed by 6% against CY-2015. The decrease in the total generated income was attributed to the reduce number of animals for slaughtered, opening of various meat establishments and also the current accreditation of the existing slaughterhouse wherein animals slaughtered inside the abattoir could no longer be delivered or marketed outside the province.

Annual Report 2017 - | 110

Meanwhile, the CY-2017 generated income has increased by 7% compared against year 2016 of Php4,117,553.50. The generated income in 2017 is higher practically as the total number of animals slaughtered (either in heads or in kilos) increases. However, despite of the increase in the income collected, still the collection did not meet the expected target income. In order for the City Slaughterhouse to generate a fair income and improve its facilities and services, the CVO endorsed Graph 11.

3.4 TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

• TOURIST ARRIVALS

I. Domestic and Foreign Tourist Arrivals

Tourist arrivals for CY-2017 registered a decreased of 9.36% compared against CY-2016 data from 299,977 to a total of 271,904 domestic and foreign tourists. The decrease was attributed by the strong earthquake that hit Surigao City last February 10, 2017 which resulted to the damaged of several infrastructures like the city airport, which affected the operation of regular flights to and from the city and the temporary closure of several accommodation establishments, which eventually affected the tourism industry in Surigao City. Another factor was the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao in the middle of CY-2017 which has slowdown the city’s tourist arrivals.

The domestic tourist arrivals has decreased by 19.93% from 286,650 in CY-2016 to 258,176 in CY-2017; while the foreign tourist arrivals has a slight increase of 15.22% from 13,327 in CY-2016 up to 13,728 in CY-2017. Table-42 shows the comparative data on tourist arrivals by country of residence between CY-2015 and CY-2017.
