GENERAL INFORMATION 2016

1 2016 ECOLOGICAL REPORT URDANETA CITY

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, Manaoag

and Binalonan.

The petitioners for the creation of the

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 Spain 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

Fray Andrés de Urdaneta



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.

On January 10, 1998,

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.

Chiefs of Police in Urdaneta, 1952.



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


CHAPTER II

The Physical Environment

A. Geographical Location

Urdaneta is a landlocked city strategically located at the eastern part of

the Province of Pangasinan. It is situated on 15° 56’ to 16° 0’ latitude and

120° 29’ to 120° 37’ longitude. The city is bisected on the east and west sides

by the Manila North Road and traversed by the McArthur Highway on the

north and south parts.

The City of Urdaneta is about 186 kilometres (3-4 hours via TPLEX)

from Metro Manila and approximately 70 kilometres (2 hours) from Baguio

City. It is 100 kilometres ( 2 ½ hours) from San Fernando City, La Union, 28

kilometres (45 minutes) from Dagupan City, Pangasinan, and 40 kilometres (1

½ hours) from the Capital Town of Lingayen, Pangasinan.

B. Boundaries

The city is bounded on the north by the municipalities of Manaoag,

Laoac and Binalonan, and the Musing River; on the northwest by the

municipality of Mapandan; on the south by the municipality of Villasis; on the

southwest by the municipality of Malasiqui; on the east by the municipality of

Asingan; and on the west by the municipality of Sta. Barbara.

Figure 1. Map of Pangasinan and Urdaneta City.



C. Land Area

Urdaneta covers a total area of approximately 12,098 hectares. The

land area of the city comprises the 2.25 percent of the total land area of

Pangasinan and a 0.94 percent of the total land area of Region I.

Table 1. Land Area of Region I, Pangasinan and Urdaneta.

Land Area (has) % Share of Urdaneta

Urdaneta 12,098 _

Pangasinan 536,818 2.25

Region I 1,284,019 0.94

There are 34 barangays in Urdaneta. The largest barangay is Cabaruan

with 955.4 hectares which is 7.9 percent of the total land area of Urdaneta.

The smallest barangay in terms of land area is barangay Tulong with 126.4

hectares, a percentage of 1.04 of the total land area. The barangay boundaries

are shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Map of Urdaneta.



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



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.



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.

Figure 6. Food and Poverty Threshold: Pangasinan

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.

A decreasing number of poor families in Pangasinan can be noticed

from the line graph below.

Figure 7. Line Graph of Poverty & Subsistence Incidence.

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.

A. Health

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.

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.

Ten Leading Causes of Mortality

The leading cause of death for the years 2012-2016 in Urdaneta City is

Senile Debility a natural cause of death due to old age. The second cause is

Cerebro Vascular accident which is a lifestyle related disease. Other principal

cause of death is Pneumonia and Bronchial asthma which are diseases of the

Lungs caused by infection and pollution. Diabetes Mellitus, Congestive Heart

Failure, Multiple Organ Failure, Myocardial Infarction, Hypertension and

Kidney Failure are non-communicable diseases. These diseases are considered

lifestyle diseases and are highly preventable with right diet, exercise and

living a healthy lifestyle.

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. The decrease in SY 2015-2016,

on the other hand, captures also the minimal increase of drop outs and a large

number of learners who did not enrol during the school year.



Junior High School: School leaver and drop-out rates are increasing. The

number of learners who did not finish junior high school grades had increased

for the last three years. The increasing number of school leavers captured the

increasing number of drop outs as well as increasing number of learners who

did not enrol during the least school years.

C. Social Welfare

The City Social Welfare and Development Office is implementing

devolved social welfare and development services of the DSWD such as the

Family and Community Welfare, Child and Youth Welfare, Women Welfare,

Senior Citizens Welfare, Persons with disabilities welfare and disaster

management programs funded by the City Government and technical

assistance from the DSWD and other national government agencies. It is

mandated to provide care, protection and rehabilitation of families, individuals

and communities who are at risk, vulnerable and in need various interventions

to cope with their stressful conditions.



For the past three years the CSWD offices were able to served clienteles from

the various sectors:

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



eliminate under or duplicated reporting between barangay, CSWD and

PNP-WCPD.

D. Public Safety and Protective Services

The actual protective services strength of cities/municipalities shall

depend on the state of peace and order, population density and actual demands

of the service in the particular area.

The urban areas shall have a higher minimum-police-to-population

ratio as prescribed by regulations.

Table 31. Protective Services by Facilities and Equipment

Source: PNP, Urdaneta City

Urdaneta as component city was classified as Class “A” city with a

population of 132,940. With the current Police to population ratio of 1:1,665,

Urdaneta City Police Station relatively meet its basic mandates due to support

endowed by the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Urdaneta in terms of the

station’s “Shoot”-“Move” & “Communication” capability. This was

compounded by personnel complement of working into two (2) shifts daily.

The station’s operational capability in addressing the blooming traffic

problems along the major thoroughfares of the city was complemented by

fifty-four (54) Public Order and Safety Officer (POSO) equipped with two (2)

multi-cabs, fifteen (15) radio transceivers and seven (7) motorcycles. This

protective service is responsible in manning the two (2) crucial intersections

that traverse the Manila North Road (MNR). It operates directly under the

operational and control of the Chief Local Executive and at times under

supervision of the PNP during crucial and big events affecting the city of

Urdaneta. (Table 32)

As part of its Disaster preparedness and response, LGU Urdaneta

organized and created its owned disaster/rescue team working along with

Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in responding to critical life response. At



present there were twenty-eight (28) members coming from various

barangays of the city to compose the operating arms of the City Disaster Risk

Reduction Management Council (CDRRMC).

In addition there were twenty-three (23) auxiliary members as part of

the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) response team equipped with three

serviceable medical ambulances, two flood lights and complete set of medical

kit.

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. To date there

were four-hundred seventy-six (476) tanods/BPATS were organized in the

city and being utilized as “force multipliers” or twelve (12) tanods/BPATS

per barangay.

Housing Facilities and Utilities

For the year 2016, ninety-two (92%) of the 32030 housing units are

served with electricity, 96% of 32030 has water-sealed toilets, but 36% of the

housing units which are about 11,381 housing unit have access to garbage

collection system. This is so because most of the housing units in some

barangays have garbage disposal system. Yet, the city has its own sanitary

landfill that caters not only the city’s solid waste but also other municipalities.

THE ECONOMIC SECTOR 2016


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.

Source: City Agriculture Office

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.

Table 45. Post-Harvest Facilities: 2016


Agricultural Employment

Male farmers dominated the agricultural operations. In 2016, there were

4,656 farmers across the city (Table 46). Of this number, more male operators

- 4,130 (88.32%) were engaged in agricultural activities and only 546 (11.68%)

were females. There were however, more female operators (75%) in

ornamental business than males (25%). From the same table, it can be noted

that crop farmers also engage in other activities like raising poultry and

livestock and even operate inland fish farms.

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.



Of the 34 barangays in the City, 24 barangays were covered by the

Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program of the government. The program

was able to distribute 687.0862 hectares of land to 953 beneficiaries.

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



Conception. Colorful parade, singing and dancing, beauty pageants, cultural

shows, concerts, and street parties abound during the festivities.

Circulation System

Urdaneta’s internal road network

follows a radial pattern interconnecting

all barangays to the central business

district in Poblacion. The road network

provides access to neighbouring

municipalities of Manaoag, Mapandan,

Laoac, Binalonan, Asingan, Villasis, and

Malasiqui.

Modes of Public Transport

Urdaneta can be reached by all

modes of land transportation. Inter-

municipal bus lines such as Victory

Liner, Solid North, 5Star, Philippine

Rabbit, Sta. Lucia, City Bus, First

North Luzon, Saulog Transit,

Florida and Partas plying the

Manila-Laoag, Manila-Baguio,

Manila-Dagupan routes provides the long-distance transport requirements of

the City allowing businessmen to attend to their respective trades with ease

24 hours a day, seven days a week. Jeepneys, tricycles, mini-buses and aircon

vans, on the other hand, service shorter inter-city as well as inter-barangay

requirements.



B. Power Utilities

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 Japan 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



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



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.

Source: MGB and CDRRM Office, Urdaneta City

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

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.



B. Burial Grounds

Existing Facilities

Urdaneta City has nine cemeteries and memorial parks whereas three of them are

public cemeteries with a total land area of 7.5 hectares. Overall, the area of these nine

burial grounds is 31.9943 hectares. It is accessible to the locals of Urdaneta City and

even to the adjacent or nearby localities like Sta. Barbara, Calasiao, and others.

The known public cemeteries in Urdaneta City which are the Urdaneta City

Cemetery and Roman Catholic Cemetery are located in Poblacion. These cemeteries

are government-operated including the Urdaneta Memorial Park.

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.

Garbage Collection is implemented primarily in urban barangays. Only half is

collected from domestic source.

Figure 16. Solid Waste Generation and Collection, Urdaneta City

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.

DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION 2016


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
