GENERAL INFORMATION 2016

CHAPTER I A. Historical Development

Urdaneta was organized into a pueblo on January 8, 1858 when the contiguous settlement of the pioneering inhabitants, mostly Ilocanos and a sprinkling of Pangasinenses, met all requirements of becoming a town. It came into existence from the conglomeration of portions of barrios from the surrounding towns of Asingan, Villasis, Malasiqui, Sta. Barbara, Mangaldan, and Binalonan.

é The petitioners for the creation of the Fray Andr s de Urdaneta new independent town identified themselves as Cabezas Tenietes representing the inhabitants of barrios Batad in Asingan, Nancamaliran in Sta. Barbara and Caocalan in Mangaldan. They proposed that the new town be named Soldevilla, in honor of the alcalde Mayor of the province at that time, Senior Don Manuel Boutelon y Soldevilla. However, the Alcalde Mayor himself declined the honor and instead proposed the name Urdaneta, with the recommendation of the Parish Priest, Fr. Nicolas Manrique Alonzo as the first cura parocco. The town was named in honor of Father Andres de Urdaneta. Father Andres de Urdaneta was a famous soldier, navigator, historian, cosmographer and evangelist who was assigned by King Philip II of to join the Legaspi Expedition of 1564. A monument outside Intramuros shows Legazpi carrying a sword while Urdaneta at his side holding up the cross. There, an inscription reads: “he is the unparalleled cosmographer, pioneer of the Christian and Spanish civilization in the Philippines”. The Vicar of Sta. Barbara and the curates of Asingan and Mangaldan supported Father Alonzo’s proposal to name the new town Urdaneta. The petition took almost two years to be processed. But soon after that, the Governor-General issued a decree and the new town of Urdaneta was finally born on the 8th of January 1858. Two months later, the town of Urdaneta was finally inaugurated which dated March 8, 1858. An assembly of Principales represented by the seven towns composed of Asingan, Sta. Barbara, Mangaldan, San Jacinto, Manaoag, Binalonan, and Villasis gathered in 2016 ECOLOGICAL REPORT 1 URDANETA CITY

GENERAL INFORMATION 2016

Urdaneta. The documents on the proclamation of the new town was executed and signed by all the participating officials. Concurrent with the inauguration was the construction of Urdaneta’s first concrete church, forerunner of today’s Catholic Cathedral and present site of Eastern Pangasinan’s Bishopric. Peace & Order Conference of Municipal Mayors and On January 10, 1998, Chiefs of Police in Urdaneta, 1952. through a bill sponsored by Rep. Amadeo R. Perez Jr., the Philippine Congress enacted R.A. 8480 converting the Municipality of Urdaneta into a component city of the Province of Pangasinan. The people of Urdaneta, in a plebiscite, overwhelmingly ratified this legislative act and Urdaneta was proclaimed a city on March 21, 1998.

B. Socio-Cultural Development

The early settlers of Urdaneta were Ilocanos from the North who brought along with them their beliefs, customs and traditions. They are protective, visionaries and clannish. Their houses, which were made of bamboo and cogon, were compactly arranged. A Spanish Historian, Buzeta, commented on the way they constructed their houses:

“These Indios, upon establishing their communities, constructed their houses so close to one another that no space was left for their orchards contrary to the common practice of the natives in other places of the island who constructed their houses isolated in the fields adjacent to their farms.”

Some of the old socio-cultural traits were handed down to succeeding generations. These refer to pugot (creature without head); ansisit (dwarf); serena (mermaid); al-alia (ghost); anito (deity); and beliefs such as, never sing in front of a stove while cooking for surely one will marry an old maid or an old man. Foremost among the inhabitants’ customs and traditions are “mano,” kissing the hands of elders as a sign of respect; and “uli,” a pre-wedding arrangement or agreement whereby the parents of the bride and groom finalize wedding preparations inclusive of the dowry, date of marriage and related matter. A few of these practices slowly vanished with the advent of Christian religions propagated by the Spanish and American rules. Likewise, nowadays, due to migrations from Tarlac, Pampanga and even as far as Batangas, other beliefs are infused in the community’s cultural heritage.

C. Political and Administrative Development

The political maturity of the present-day leaders was handed down from the early inhabitants banking on unity and cooperation. The leaders were reposed on the responsibility of governance considering the general welfare of the constituents. The Spaniards introduced the centralized form of government and an administrative system whereby the head of a “sitio” was called “Teniente Absolute” and of the town, “Gobernadorcillo.” In 1843, the title “Gobernadorcillo” was changed to “Captain.” The year 1899 ushered the American Era in the Philippine History. One of the local administrative orders asserted by the Americans was the installation of “Municipal Presidents” in lieu of “Capitanes.” From 1937 to the present, the local chief executive was referred to as “Municipal Mayor.”

THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 2016

D. Geophysical Attributes

The city forms part of the Central Plains of Luzon consisting of generally flat landforms. Majority of the barangays have nearly flat terrain. The terraced portions of barangays Cabaruan, Oltama and Sugcong on the southwest portion of the city are utilized as orchard and pasture areas. The city has a general slope range of zero to three percent. However, the terrain at its southwestern portions, specifically in barangays Oltama, Cabaruan, and Sugcong, is gently sloping to moderately hilly with a slope range of three to eight percent. Urdaneta is blessed with rich soil suitable for almost all kinds of agricultural crops. The types of soil present in Urdaneta are the Quingua Series, Bantog Series, San Miguel Series, and San Fabian Series.

E. Geologic and Natural Hazards

Earthquake. Urdaneta is traversed at its north eastern tip by the Pozorrubio to Umingan major fault line. This fault line goes in consonance with the Philippine fault line which runs from Dingalan Bay in Aurora Province to the Lingayen Gulf. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recommended a five-metre easement on both sides of fault traces

Flood Hazard. Flood prone areas include portions of barangays Poblacion, Pinmaludpod, Nancayasan, San Jose, Camantiles, Tulong, Anonas and the lowland portions of barangays.

Siltation. The city is generally underlain by sedentary rocks of quaternary alluvial, lacustrine, river and residual deposits (Bureau of Mines, Regional Office I).

Erosion. Majority of the barangays experience no erosion at all. This means that no conspicuous erosion is experienced although the topsoil may be disturbed. This is the case in areas that are flat or level to nearly level, especially in wetlands and paddy rice locations. Some portions of Labit West experience none to slight (insipient) erosion. In this category of erosion, the topsoil is disturbed but ploughing may negate the very slight insipient 2016 ECOLOGICAL REPORT 8 URDANETA CITY

THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 2016

erosion. This is particularly found in areas that are nearly level to very gently sloping but more especially in areas that are terraced and devoted to paddy rice. Parts of barangays Cabaruan Oltama and Sugcong have slight erosion. The pattern in these areas is characterized by sheet erosion with small rills. This type of erosion is a condition wherein the topsoil is disturbed and slightly reduced by sheet erosion and small rills with no conspicuous development of braids or gullies. This is found in areas that are very gently sloping to gently undulating, especially in areas with terraced paddies, rotated crops and with short slope length. Areas along the Macalong River and Tulong and Calegu Rivers experience slight erosion, as well.

Figure 3. Flood Hazard Map of Urdaneta.

F. Meteorology

Climate and Rainfall. Urdaneta has two major seasons, the wet and the dry season. The City experiences the dry season from November to April. The wet season, in turn, is experienced from May to October with an average rainfall of 86 mm. The heaviest rainfalls usually occur between July to September. Seven to nine return periods of typhoon visit the City annually. Relative Humidity and Temperature. The city has a moderately hot temperature. The lowest recorded temperature is 21.6 °C during the month of December while the highest is 34 during the month of June. Relative humidity is 86 °C.

2016 ECOLOGICAL REPORT 9 URDANETA CITY

THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 2016

Vegetative Cover. Pastureland covers 282.20 hectares which is a 2.33 percent of the locality’s total land area. This can be found in the rolling hills of barangays – Oltama, Cabaruan and Sugcong, bounding the municipalities of Villasis and Malasiqui. Mango farms are located on the hills of these barangays while rice fields are on their lowlands which are watered by rivers and creeks. The city has no large-scale grassland and even forest. Mineral Resources. Mineral Resources in the city include tuffaceous shell deposits found in Cabaruan and Labit West, as well as gravel and sands deposits in the rivers. Water Resources. The city has three major resources of water as well as several creeks in almost all the barangays. These include the Tulong and Musing Rivers at the northern boundary; the Mitura River bisected barangays Poblacion and San Vicente; and the Macalong River. These bodies of water, as well as the tributaries of the Agno River from the Province of Benguet, drain into the central plains of the Province of Pangasinan. Irrigation water to the prime agricultural lands of Urdaneta comes from the Tangal Perez Dam in barangay Nancalobasaan.

Food and Poverty thresholds and Poverty and Subsistence incidences are the results of the income data gathered from the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) every three years.

Food and Poverty Threshold. In 2015, the annual per capita food threshold and poverty threshold in Pangasinan is P 14,898.00 and P 21,327.00, respectively as shown in Table 9. Food threshold is the required minimum income to meet basic food needs. It measures extreme or subsistence poverty. The basic food needs must satisfy the requirements set by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) to ensure social and economic productivity. A family of five needed at least P 5,942.00 on average monthly to meet basic food needs. Poverty threshold, also known as poverty line, is expanded to include basic non-food needs such as clothing, housing, transportation, health, and education expenses. A family of five needed at least P 8,518.00 on average monthly to meet both basic food and non-food requirements.

Poverty and Subsistence Incidence. Poverty Incidence measures the proportion of families/individuals with per capita income less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of families/individuals. In Pangasinan, 11.2% families were poor (Table 10). These families are living below the poverty line. Subsistence Incidence is the number of families/ individuals whose per capita income falls below the per capita food threshold to the total number of families/individuals. In 2015, 2.5% families in Pangasinan were not able to meet their basic food (Table 10). These families are living below the minimum income required to meet basic food needs.

Income and Poverty Gap, and Severity of Poverty. The income gap measures the average income required by the poor in order to get out of poverty, expressed relative to the poverty threshold. The poverty gap refers to the income shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty threshold) of families with income below the poverty threshold, divided by the total number of families. The severity of poverty is the total of the squared income shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty threshold) of families with income below the poverty threshold, divided by the total number of families. This is a poverty measure that is sensitive to income distribution among the poor.

Malnutrition For the past five years, problems on under-nutrition (Underweight, Wasting and Stunting) still persist in the City with growing concern on over- nutrition. Although the trend is downwards, it means that the number of children suffering from malnutrition are getting lesser each year. Still, there are programs, projects and activities that the City Nutrition Council (CNC) has organized with an aim to improve the nutritional status of the city:  Home, school and community food production and seedlings distribution are given to families of malnourished pre-schoolers during Nutrition Month Celebration and quarterly to household during Tulungan sa Purok evaluation.  Supplemental Feeding (120 days feeding program) to all day care pupils are sponsored by the CSWD.  For nutrition information and education, family development session to 4P’s benefices, counselling on exclusive breastfeeding and complimentary feeding during prenatal and immunization.  PGN-IYCF training for barangay implementers is done to 34 barangays.  Distribution of Memorandum Circular and tarpaulins to all schools and establishments re: 10 KUMAINMENTS.  Micronutrient Supplementation-Garantisadong Pambata (GP) during April and October, distribution of ferrous sulfate especially to malnourished pre- schoolers, and deworming during January to July.  Multivitamins, MNP, Iron Drops, RIMO and MOMSIE distribution to malnourished PS and to those who are in the borderline.  Toothbrush distribution to 1 year old pre-schoolers.  Tulungan sa Purok,  Mobile Barangay Pangserbisyo

In 2012, it can be noted that the city has a recorded 16 in the crude birth rate then in the next year it went down to 14 on 2013, this is based on the total number of live births on a given year multiplied by one thousand then it is divided by the total population of that given year. The data also shows that from 2014 to 2016 the data went from 16 to 12 showing that there is a decline in the total of live births in the City. For the Crude Death Rate (CDR) for the past five years, data shows that 2013 has the highest number of deaths which is 5, and also it can be noted that for the year 2014 to 2016 CDR remained constant at 3 each year. These data are based on the number of deaths in a given year multiplied by 1000 divided by the total population of that given year.

The high number of Crude Birth Rate versus the low number of Crude Death Rate where somewhat stable and meant the slight increase of the population of the city.

Ten Leading Causes of Morbidity Acute respiratory infection is the leading cause of morbidity for the past 5 years. The high incidence of respiratory infection suggests that the city is prone to airborne diseases; pollution is also a contributory factor to this disease. Other infectious diseases that are listed in the top 10 may be due to poor hygiene, poor nutrition, low body resistance and sudden change in weather. It can be noted that half of the diseases are no communicable; these are hypertension, urinary tract infection, bronchial asthma, diabetes mellitus and dermatitis which are usually atopic. These are lifestyle diseases and are highly preventable.

Figure 11. Drop Rate of Elementary and Junior High School Students.

Elementary: School leaver rate is fluctuating and the drop-out rate is increasing. For the drop-out rate, there are an increasing number of enrolees who did not finish elementary grades for the last three years. Looking at the definition of the school leaver rate, it shall capture the number of drop outs and the number of learners who did not enrol the next school year. And so therefore, the increase in the number of school leavers in SY 2014-2015 captures the increasing number of drop outs and a minimal number of learners who did not enrol during the said school year.

Based on the tracking of CSWD report for three years, the sector of Youth, Persons with Disabilities have the lowest number of clients and women have the lowest number of clients served while family and senior citizen sector have the highest number of served client due to the reason of various and ready services extended. It also connotes that Youth sector has the least number of served clients because this is the moving sector in the community, they do not remain in the community due to employment opportunities and lack of interest to join in community activities. As per reports and observation in issuing certificate of indigenises for birth registration, it was noted that existence of young live- in partners are increasing maybe due to the influence of media, peer influence and lack of parental supervision. Hence, there is a need to intensify programs and services for this sector. Based on the 2015 projected population of 1-4 years old children is 11,971, there is a need for the CSWD to conduct mapping of ECCD providers to ensure the number of children undergoing ECCD services for reporting purposes, further for the city governments preparation in recognizing ECCD providers implementation which is crucial for them to prepare this children to formal education. Although we have 53 Day Care centers in the 34 barangays, there is still a need for the establishment of Day Care centers to cater all the 3-4 years old children. In terms of cases of women and child in need of special protection, there is a need for the proper reporting and assistance from the barangay level, hence the functionality of a Barangay VAWC desk officer is needed to properly assist these clients and to

Down to the barangay level, the Community Oriented Policing System (COPS) of the Philippine National Police (PNP) has gone a long way towards providing proactive police services to the citizens. However, a continuous effort to improve the delivery of these protective services must be implemented as peace and order and public safety concerns are constantly evolving. The Barangay Peacekeeping Operations (BPO) and its implementers, the Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams (BPAT) were examples that the PNP does not stop in giving the best possible policing system.

CHAPTER V Economic Sector

A. Agriculture

Urdaneta City, though considered as trade centre or wholesale market of agricultural commodities, is claimed to have an economy most dependent on agriculture. Agricultural activities play an important role in economic sustainability and development of the city.

Agricultural Production Of the total land area of 12,098 hectares, approximately 5,000 hectares of both irrigated and rainfed lands are devoted to rice farming. Rice remained as the major temporary crop of farmers, who usually practice modern farming. For the irrigated areas, rice are planted twice or thrice a year Crop Production As of 2016, a total of 5,953 hectares were devoted to major crops such as rice, corn, ampalaya, tomato, eggplant, sitao, and mango. Over the years, there is a reduction in food production area. This is brought about by population increase, continuous modernization, proliferation of business establishments, and land conversion to housing subdivisions.

In 2015, an irrigated rice area is recorded at 5,056 hectares (ha). It has decreased by 8.5% in 2016 at 4,728 ha. This was attributed to land conversion to give way to the construction of the Tarlac Pangasinan La Union Expressway (TPLEX), residential houses, subdivisions, and business establishments. It can also be noted that there was a significant decrease in the volume of production. This loss in rice production, (decrease of 38%) in 2016 was brought by the occurrence of two strong typhoons "Karen" and "Lawin" during the harvest period. Most farmers incurred losses from 70% - 80% during the main cropping season. For corn production, though there is a decrease of (2.9%) in the production area, the yield has gone a little higher by 0.8%. This is attributed to the favorable weather condition and improved farming techniques.

Of the total land area of 12, 098 ha, 4,624 ha (38.22% of the total land area) are irrigated and devoted to rice production. In 2016, a total rice production volume of 36,992 metric tons (mt) was recorded and valued at PhP554,862,000.00. Total number of farmers was reported to be 4,665;938 (20.10%) of whom are tenants. It is notable that all of these farmers employ the modern techniques of farming. These consist of using packages of technologies on proper seed selection, nutrient management, water management, pests and disease management, and postharvest technologies. It is also evident that farmers from each barangay are equipped with various pre-harvest and post-harvest facilities to improve their productivity. Pre-harvest facilities include hand tractor, water pumps, and mechanical planters. While post-harvest facilities include rice and corn threshers, combine harvesters, seed cleaners, rice mills, and multi-purpose drying pavements. There are a total of 897 pre-harvest and 232 post-harvest facilities, either owned by the farmers or by the associations and the barangay. Other crops grown are corn, vegetables like bitter gourd (ampalaya), tomatoes, pole sitao and eggplant. For the same year, corn production area was reported to be 218 ha, production volume was at 1,417 mt and valued at PhP15,587,000.00. Tomato production from a 75 hectares land yielded 1,350 mt., and valued at PhP13,500,000.00. Eggplant, pole sitao and ampalaya productions were also reported to produce 1,258 mt., 652 mt., and 1,010 mt., respectively. Mango is the dominant fruit crop in the locality. Despite the prevalence of insect pests attacking mango fruits, produce was recorded to be at 10,850 mt. and valued at PhP162, 750,000.00. All these produce were sold in the local market.

Fisheries Existing fishing grounds (Table 43) yielded 141.5 metric tons of fish catch which was valued at PhP9,197,500. Tilapia nilotica is the popularly cultured species. Carps are also raised on a smaller scale. These fishes were mainly used for home consumption. In case there should be surplus, these are marketed within or in nearby barangays. The most critical hazard to this agricultural activity is flooding knowing that Urdaneta City is a catch basin.

Support Systems Supports to agricultural production are in the form of irrigation facilities; Small Water Impounding (SWIP) projects; water pumps; and pre- and post- harvest facilities.

Irrigation Facilities All of the barangays of the city except Poblacion, are supplied by irrigation system. Aside from the irrigation system, Small Water Impounding (SWIP) and water pump are used as water sources in crop production.

Irrigation is an indispensable means to produce crops. In 2010, the Communal Irrigation System under the city’s management was transferred to the national irrigation system where a total of 25 barangays were benefitted from the project upon its completion in 2014. There are 3,439 hectares of lands supplied by this irrigation system. Also a common system of irrigation is the individual system which supplied water to more or less 2,100 hectares. This is through the use of water pump to draw water from wells. There is also

an existing small water impounding project in Oltama which can supply at most 30 hectares of farm with irrigation water during dry season planting.

Post-Harvest Facilities Table 45 shows the different available post- harvest facilities. All of the barangays of the city have these facilities. There are a total of 26 operational rice mills, 6 of which are stationary and 20 are mobile. Multipurpose drying pavements numbered at 37, at least 1 in every barangay for rice and corn drying activities. There are 136 private threshers across the city. Some are operational, some needs repair. Those who own threshers usually own blowers or seed cleaners. However, due to the introduction of combined harvester which is more efficient and speedy, farmers prefer this over threshers.

Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Zones (SAFDZ) The City Government has classified all the barangays within it under a strategic integration of crop, livestock and fishery activities under the Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Zones (SAFDZ). Accordingly, this is the best strategy considering the availability of varied resources found in each of these barangays.

Agrarian Reform Communities To date, there are no more carpable lands in the city. Under the program, however, lands were distributed to the landless tenants of Catablan, San Jose and Pinmaludpod. The Catablan ARC Credit Cooperative is the lone ARC farmer organization under the ARCs.

C. Tourism

The City of Urdaneta may not have scenic beaches, fascinating caves, wildlife parks, and other natural attractions, but it has its share of tourist spots. Through the years, the rolling hills of Cabaruan, Sugcong, and Oltama have become favorite camping grounds for boy, girl, and cub scouts; picnic grounds for domestic tourists; uphill climb ride for bike enthusiasts; and local vacation getaway. While the World War II Memorial Shrine in Cabaruan is bound to get a major facelift, proponents of the Oltama Agri-Eco Farm are already laying the groundwork for an eventual tourism destination. The Tanggal Perez Dam and the Bolaoen and Labit creeks can be developed into recreational fishing grounds as they flourish with dalag, carpa, and tilapia. Likewise, the Macalong River can be developed into an eco- tourism project with bancas and riverwalks. Tourists also visit Urdaneta during its City Fiesta on the first two weeks of December in honor of its patroness saint, Our Lady of the Immaculate

The Pangasinan III Electric Cooperative is the main service provider of electricity in Urdaneta. The 34 barangays of the city is serviced by PANELCO III. PANELCO III provides a 24-hour power service to its concessionaires. Though, electric power interruptions are experienced, these are mainly due to low power supply from power plants. These power interruptions are a national issue, not only in Urdaneta City. The household’s populations are based on the City Planning team’s projections. There are more households served than the total number of households because of multiple connections in a household.

CHAPTER VII Environment Sector

A. Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) – Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)

The Philippines ranked no.1 in the Top 10 Countries by number of reported events in 2011 according to the USAID Office for Foreign Disaster Assistance. During that year, the country was hit by numerous hazards. The most notable of which was the devastating tropical storm Washi (Sendong), highlighting our continuing vulnerability to disasters given our location in the Pacific. We are also No.2 in terms of Disaster Mortality in 2011, second only to which lost more citizens due to March 22, 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami that claimed almost twenty thousand lives. However, our mortality rate ranked us fifth (5th) in terms of population at 2:1 deaths per 100,000 populations. Furthermore, according to the World Risk Report of 2012, the Philippines ranks third (3rd) out of 175 countries based on our exposure, vulnerability, susceptibility to hazards. Contemporary efforts in Disaster Risk Reduction Management evolved from Presidential Degree 1566 of June 1978 which aimed to strengthen the Philippines Disaster Control Capability and established the National Program on Community Disaster Preparedness. Over the years, the basic provisions of PD 1566 proved insufficient, thus leading to the passage of Republic Act 10121 in May 2010. Republic Act 10121 is focused on strengthening the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management System and provides for adoption of a National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Framework and Plan, as well as providing funds thereof. RA 10121 signalled the paradigm shift from

2016 ECOLOGICAL REPORT 95 URDANETA CITY

THE ENVIRONMENTAL SECTOR 2016

reactive disaster management to a more holistic, comprehensive, integrated, proactive and multi-sectoral approach on disaster. As defined in RA 10121, disaster is a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Disasters are often described as a result of the combination of: the exposure to a hazard, the conditions of vulnerability that are present, and insufficient capacity or measure to reduce or cope with the potential negative consequences. Disaster impacts may include loss of life, injury, disease and other negative effects on human, physical, mental and social well-being, together with damage to property, destruction of assets, loss of services, social and economic disruption and environmental degradation. Thus, the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management provides the systematic process of using administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to implement strategies, policies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster. Prospective disaster risk reduction and management refers to risk reduction and management activities that address and seek to avoid the development of new or increase disaster risks, especially if risk reduction policies are not put in place. Its integral approach to social and human development generally adopts a more productive stone. Likewise, it provided an expanded membership to the previous national disaster coordinating council from 44 members, still headed by the Secretary of National Defense but with 4 Vice- Chairpersons namely: the Secretary of Department of Science and Technology (DOST) for Prevention and Mitigation, the Secretary of Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) for Preparedness, the Secretary of Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for Response and the Director of General of NEDA for Rehabilitation and Recovery, and in compliance to RA 10121, the council

2016 ECOLOGICAL REPORT 96 URDANETA CITY

THE ENVIRONMENTAL SECTOR 2016

adopted in June 2011, the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Framework with vision of attaining “Safer, Adaptive and Disaster- Resilient Filipino Communities Towards Sustainable Development”. The Framework shows that mitigating the impacts of risk, preventing hazard and being prepared for disasters will substantially reduce loss of life and damages to social, economic and environmental sectors. These positive changes will be complemented by Mainstreaming Disaster risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) measures into our national and local development plans as a major step in refocusing our efforts towards achieving our goals. RA 10121 provides more holistic and comprehensive solution under a national disaster risk reduction plan. These plans will contain identification of hazards, vulnerabilities and risk to be managed at the national level. The structure of the national council is replicated in all regions, provinces, cities, and municipalities and to the barangays or villages chaired by the Local Chief Executive. RA 10121 mandated every LGU to establish a Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (LDRRMC) in every province, city and municipality and a Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management Committee (BDRRMC) in every barangay which shall be responsible for setting the direction, development, implementation and coordination of disaster risk management programs within their territorial jurisdiction.

The exploration of disaster events in the past provides a better understanding of hazards, specifically their pattern of occurrence and the areas that are often affected. In Urdaneta City, every year we encounter typhoons that caused flooding in thirteen (13) barangays out of thirty-four (34) barangays. Those low lying barangays and barangays that are situated or located along the major river systems are most especially affected. Urdaneta city has four (4) major river systems. These are Tagamusing, Mitura, and Macalong River. When three (3) of the major rivers merge at Barangay Pinmaludpod, it becomes the Sinocalan River. Also, one (1) creek that causes flood is called the Catablan Creek. The City of Urdaneta has identified flood as one of the major hazard that affects the city. The table above presents the description of the previous hazard that affects the city. It also shows the barangays that were affected by 2016 ECOLOGICAL REPORT 98 URDANETA CITY

On the records of the previous disasters, the CDRRMO identified two typhoons that have distressed the City of Urdaneta by year 2016. Typhoon Karen had hit the city last October 18 to 20, 2016. It has affected 8 barangays and left 1255 persons and 315 families affected. Agricultural sector has been greatly damaged with a total of Php 37 million worth of agricultural products and facilities. Following Typhoon Karen, Typhoon Lawin has struck the city last October 21, 2016 and it lasted for three days. The typhoon has affected 8 barangays, mostly the areas near the Macalong River. These barangays affected by the typhoon are barangay San Vicente, Mabanogbog, Poblacion, Camantiles, Pinmaludpod, San Jose, Catablan, and Nancayasan. Some of the

affected areas are low lying barangays and others are near or beside the Macalong River. A total of 4,876 individuals and 1186 families are affected by the typhoon. These people have been served and transferred to evacuation centers by the City Disaster Response Team and were assisted by the City Social Welfare and Development Office personnel. Also, Typhoon Lawin has left damage to agriculture with a total of Php 60,071,231.00. There are three (3) barangays that experienced drought way back 1997 when part of Luzon was hit by El Nino. These barangays are located along the rolling areas, south-western part of Urdaneta City. Because of the development program of National Irrigation Agency (NIA), the irrigation systems in these barangays have improved thus they did not experience drought again.

C. Solid Waste and Water Waste Management

Solid Waste Management Urdaneta City, being an urbanizing locality, is being confronted by enormous problems on solid waste and wastewater. The city-wide collection of solid wastes and the 24-7 operation of the Bagsakan market generate volumes of garbage that require financial appropriation for its collection, treatment and disposal. Likewise, the increasing population, booming educational, commercial and industrial sector generate a lot of wastewater draining into canals, eventually contaminating and polluting our creeks and river system and underground water resources. In 2010, Urdaneta City put up the Engineered Sanitary Landfill. The first of its kind in the province, in compliance to R.A. 9003, otherwise known as “The Ecological Solidwaste Management Act of 2004”, and to address the ever increasing problem on solid waste. The city employs around 200 personnel to take care of the collection of transport, treatment of solid wastes at the disposal facility. Also the LGU put up a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) to treat organic wastes that could be processed into organic fertilizers. At the recycling facility, styro-made products are shredded and processed into useable materials such as cat-walk tiles, pots and other similar products. Initially, the city government purchased a vacuum truck to address concerns of wastewater in all government-owned buildings and institutions. To treat the sludge materials from the septic tanks, the leachate treatment plant at the sanitary landfill is being utilized. There are existing policies to support the implementation of programs; to wit: * Environment Code * Anti-littering Ordinance * An ordinance prohibiting the use of plastics at the city, wet market, and total ban of styro-made packaging materials throughout the city. * Executive Order creating the Bantay Ilog Task Force and Bantay Pangkalikasan

Solid Waste Generation Garbage collection: The LGU takes care of the collection of solid wastes city- wide. It has eight (8) collection teams. Each team is composed of seven (7) personnel: 1 driver, 6 helpers/ “pahenantes”. Sanitary landfill personnel: At the landfill, the LGU has 28 personnel manning different tasks, to include security, utilities, maintenance crew, tipping area personnel, office personnel and pumping station operators. The LGU has also a composting facility (MRF) located at the city Auction Market Compound. Likewise the city employs sixty (60) market and street sweepers.

There is a great reduction of solid waste collected from wastes generated from the domestic source, mainly, perhaps of the waste diversion from the landfill, such as, composting at source, recycling and reuse. Burning of solid wastes at the source level could not be discounted as this is the usual practice of some hard-headed people in disposing their garbage.

Wastewater Management

Waste Water Generation Water pollution and people infection are two of the most pressing concerns facing the Philippines today. Because of water pollution, the DENR has reported negative economic implications or losses amounting to 7 billion from the tourism, fishery and agricultural industry.

Sources of Pollution/Contamination affecting the Drainage System

Domestic sources such as residential houses, the central business district and industries are the main culprit affecting our drainage systems and eventually our creeks and rivers as they are the receiving body of water.

Failing septic tanks are the main contributors of bacterial contamination. Failing septic tanks are characterized by water-soaked appearance around the pit. Likewise, this condition is also brought about by irregularly dislodging of “poso negro”. The building code requires septic tanks to be dislodged every after 3-5 years. Surface run-offs during the rainy season usually brings heavy pollution load of the river systems, creeks and drainage canals. Also, water intensive industries such as public markets, piggeries, and fish processing and slaughter houses contribute to water pollution. Also, there is a negative impact to the natural ecosystems and health status of the people living near or along the river system.

Waste Water Treatment

One of the most abused water resources are our river systems and creeks. In Urdaneta City, the most significant water body is the Macalong River which traverses the Central Business District and several urban barangays. Around 60% of the population of the city is located along or near the river system. Centralize waste water treatment facility and regular dislodging might provide solution to heavy pollution loading of our water resources.

The city has one unit of dislodging machine (vacuum truck) which only cater to the needs of the LGU buildings/facilities. There is an existing leachate treatment plant of the city’s landfill which the LGU utilized to treat dislodged materials. Prior to discharging, the LGU see to it the treated wastewater is within the National Standard for Class C Waters. To cater to the projected needs of development scenarios, the LGU plans to procure additional units of the machines and construct a centralized treatment facility.

CHAPTER VIII Development Administration

The primary objective of the local government is to provide the state with effective and efficient government. This is explained in the provisions of the 1991 Local Government Code (LGC). It is not enough to have a competent administrator in order to achieve this but it also requires well- designed organizational structures at all levels of the government bureaucracy. The provision of local autonomy articulated in the LGC is a sincere response of the national leadership to the popular clamour of local government officials for more autonomy in local governance. The Code clearly defines the parameters of the political and corporate powers of the local government units. The body politic is due to a political subdivision of the national government.

A. Human Resources

There are two types of offices that every city government is required to implement i.e. the mandatory offices (such as Planning and Development Office, the Office of the Secretary of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, Budget Office, Accounting Office, etc.) and optional offices (such as the Office on Environment and Natural Resource Office, Office on Architectural Planning and Design, etc.). Other posts can be appointed as the exigency of the work requires only after the creation is made by the Office of the Mayor and the accompanying resolution of the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP). These include the Environment and Natural Resources Officer, Architect, Information Officer, Cooperative Officer, Population Officer and General Services Officer.

B. Local Special Bodies

 LOCAL BIDS AND AWARDS COMMITTEE The Bids and Awards Committee is primarily responsible for the conduct of prequalification of contractor, bidding, evaluation of bids, and the recommendation of awards concerning local infrastructure projects.
