The Philippines has been a "decentralized" form of government since 1991, contrary to what most Filipinos think. Ever since the creation of Republic Act 7160, each LGU is responsible for its own domain. Even the smallest LGU the barangay creates its own Budget. It is not dependent on handouts from the city, municipality or province. "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!", it does not exist anymore. The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. "Budgetary planning has been DECENTRALIZED since 1991". It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem.

SOURCE: MPDO II. HUMAN RESOURCES A. DEMOGRAPHY Demography which deals on human resources, its size, structure and trend of growths, its characteristics, behavior and potentials, plays an important factor in determining the municipality’s needs and problems, statistical projections, development planning and ultimate solutions.

1. Population

The municipality of Aroroy has a present population of 70,173, which was reckoned and projected from base data on Table II.A.I as a result of the Municipal Census Household survey conducted in 2010.


2. Population Growth Based from NCSO data on population, average growth rate for every censal years were computed and tabulated in Table II.A.2 TABLE II.A.2 HISTORICAL GROWTH RATE MUNICIPALITY OF AROROY YEAR 1903-2000 CENSAL YEAR POPULATION GROWTH RATE 1903 - 1918 9,836 - 1939 31,289 5.67 1948 23,888 (2.95) 1960 18,371 (2.16) 1970 28,624 4.53 1975 30,457 1.25 1980 38,618 4.86 1990 53,060 3.23 1995 55,110 0.76 2000 64,994 3.35


It can be noted that since 1970 up to present, Aroroy has always been experiencing positive growth rate with varying intensity. It can also be noted that the greatest growth rate recorded since 1970 was 4.86%, which can be accounted for the opening of Atlas Consolidated Mining and Development Corporation in 1980, and the drastic decrease of about 0.76% in 1995 was due to its closure. Present population growth rate is at 3.35%.


3. Rural-Urban Population

Of the 41 barangays, three (3) are considered urban barangays namely Poblacion, Baga-uma and Ambolong; two (2) are urbanizable barangays Jaboyoan and Talabaan while the rest are rural.

Source: NSO * Urbanizable Population density in each barangay computed and tabulated in Table II.A.3 shows that barangays Poblacion, Baga-uma and Puro have the highest population density; Poblacion and Baga-uma being considered Urban. Barangay Puro, although rural, has been experiencing high population density due to their mining sites, it can be observe that population increase occurs both in urban and rural areas.

5. Age Dependency Ratio

Based from Table II.A.4, Total Dependency Ratio for the year 2002 is 104.34%, i.e., every 100 persons in working age (15-64 years old) have to support 99 young dependents (0-14 years old) and 4 old dependents (65 years old and over). This data can be clearly visualized in the following TABLE II.A.4 POPULATION BY AGE GROUP AND SEX MUNICIPALITY OF AROROY YEAR 2011

6. Male - Female Ratio

Aroroy is predominantly male in population, giving an average ratio of 101 male for every 100 female. However, this very little discrepancy of male dominance over that of the female population at birth gradually decreases with age giving a female dominance as the age increases. Please refer to Fig. II.A.2, data based from Table II.A.4

7. Crude Birth Rates and Child-Woman Ratio

One measure of fertility in a municipality is its Crude Birth Rate (CBR) or the number of births per 1000 population. The total number of births in this municipality for the year 2000 and 2001, which are 1,651 and 1,477 (MCR data) yield crude birth rates of 25.02 and 21.85, respectively.

Another measure of fertility is the Child-Woman Ratio (CWR). In 2002, Child-Woman Ratio is 0.46 or there are 46 children (0-4 years old data from Table II.A.4) against 100 women of reproductive age (15-49 years old data from Table II.A.4). These are also reflected from the constricted base of the Age-Sex Pyramid in Figure II.A.2

Further study on child-woman ratio reveals that there is a drastic decrease from the year 1990 to 2002, which is 0.92 to 0.46.

8. Crude Death Rates

Mortality is the negative component of population growth. From the number of deaths, which are 158 in the year 2000 and 182 in the year 2001 (MCR data), Crude Death Rate or the number of deaths per 1000 population in Aroroy is 2.36 and 2.69, respectively.

9. Migration

There are few data on migration that can be gathered since there is no local agency that holds tangible records / data related to it. However, based from the 2000 Provincial SEPP, of the 21 municipalities of the Province of Masbate, Aroroy has the second highest in-migration with a rate of 87.26 per 1000 population.

In summary, based from the demographic parameters stated above: the decreasing fertility rate, the low child-woman ratio, yet, increasing growth rate, it is evident that in-migration plays a major factor. Evidently, constituents and in-migrants depend on its increasing economic growth mostly due to gold mines, its large share of land areas and its increasing internal revenue allotment.

B. HOUSING

The municipality has 1 housing project situated at Sitio Lubigan, Barangay Ambolong. This project is a P 15-million grant from the National Housing Authority with its site as the LGU’s counterpart. It is a 7.1591-hectare resettlement area with total site coverage of 21.3 hectares. It has a proposed 445 residential lots with an average lot area of 80 sq. m. each.

This project aims primarily to relocate the urban poor, squatters residing at government reserved lands and most especially those residing at the danger zone.

Although site preparation (Phase I) of this project was already completed since 2001, lots were not yet awarded to deserving constituents since this is not yet formally turned-over to the LGU.
