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.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:

The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

PREFACE

The fundamental policy requirement mandating planning in every Local Government Unit may all be relevant to the specific condition of the Municipality of Maydolong. To express a few of the enumerable importance and relevance of planning the legal mandates, political, fiscal as well as institutional necessities are few of these motivational factors in this particular plan formulation. It is obviously mandated by the Local Government Code of 1991 the Local Government Units must have their own peculiar Local Development Plans. These provisions have been demanded over and again in said Local Government Code.

Political motivations among local leaders are being restructured gradually through the policy declarations and intent of the Local Government Code. Structures in the Local Government Units point to a new order where local Executives as well as aspirant political leaders do not monopolize the wisdom and strategies of development, instead these were transferred with the bulk of it, to the objects of development - the people. Political judgement concerning what is "appropriate" and "attainable" for local government unit development is no longer confined in the political charisma, ambitions and visions of local leaders, but these powers and responsibilities ought to rest widely on the political judgement of the citizenry, the private sector and the non- government organizations. At least supposedly!

Fiscal policies pertaining to planning do not to a great extent plot the financial course of a Local Government Unit. Realistic Local Development Plans provides faith on the LGU in terms of outside support for credit-financed projects and activity or project an LGU implements thereby affecting serious matters for decade to come.

For the Municipality of Maydolong, the fundamental motivation in coming up with this Development Plan is the concretization of a course of actions that must be operationalized with its very limited resources. Wanton investments of these resources shall definitely aggravate the socio-economic condition of the people and the underdevelopment of the municipality in general. The current deprivation of this community is too monumental to be addressed by its fiscal capability. Further, and equally important, is to express concretely that the people of this community has a certain collective resolve to improve their lives and show that they have an institution administered by local leaders with strong political will to pursue the development agenda laid down in this plan. Finally, this plan has to be revised in order to be a relevant tool to address the current demands.

Historical Background of the Municipality

Sometime during the early part of the 1800's, accounts have been told of early settlers in the place now called the Municipality of Maydolong. Of these accounts several claims of original historical tales have been told and retold bearing correlating instance of how the town came to existence. Inspite of the absence of a singular account on the matter it is nevertheless noteworthy that since that period, people have been living, making their living endeavors, seeking refuge until time and events have finally shaped this first settlement into a community. From then on the settlement called then "Matnog" or "Majanod" and eventually Maydolong have been traditionally a part of the town of Borongan together with other settlements not officially embraced by Llorente. (Mun. Res. #75, adopted Aug. 21, 1972).

It is culturally obligatory and of great significance to acknowledge credence to the local accounts of how the Municipality of Maydolong came to be. The first account revealed that sometimes in the mid-part of the 18th century there was a man named "Adlawan". He settled with his family in a place known as "Majanod". As time gradually passed by, his children finally married and inter-married among the settlers. The place of "Majanod" thus expanded and became the center of trade among nearby places. Unnoticingly, another place was emerging nearby which was called "Matnog". In the course of events, "Majanod" and "Matnog" was consolidated adopting the latter's name.

"Matnog" then was the name of the place. Sailors traversing the vast Pacific from the North to the South or back cannot reach their destination in just one (1) day. So, they should have to find a place somewhere for a rest. They found out "Matnog" to be a safe place due to its geographical location. As such as they heed towards "Matnog" their leaders would usually command "Matnog" it "Dolong" which means, "the prow must point to "Matnog". This practice became common among sailors themselves and their leaders shortened its command by simply saying "Maydolong". Sailors as well as Chines traders adapted the name "Maydolong". And finally, the priest himself who came from Borongan to officiate the first Mass means "Thanks! it's already Maydolong". And the people responded, "Maydolong na! which means, "It's already Maydolong"! from that time on, "Maydolong" became the name of the place.

The second historical account affirmed the existence of a place known "Matnog". The change of the name "Matnog" to "Maydolong" happened on the early part of the 19th century. It was told that during these times, the most popular game of the people was called "Sabunot" or "Dolong" which is actually a crude wrestling. No one can exactly remember the technical rules of such game. This game was only played during moonlight night and usually at the sandy shores of "Matnog" and other coastal places nearby.

Young and old people alike loved this game very much. As such, when the moonlight is approaching one would inquire the other, "Ha-in yana it Dolong" which means, "where's the venue of the wrestling"? then someone philosophically answered "aadto hit Maydolong” which literary means "there, where's wrestling". And the other would shout "Sige kathon kita ha Maydolong", which means, "Okay! let's go where there's wrestling". From that time on, the place was called to be "Maydolong".

During the early part of the 1900's immediately after the restoration of peace in the island-province of Samar preceding the mock Phil.-American Revolution, the American Government in the Island established the Municipal District of Tagasli-an, (currently an upstream barangay of Maydolong). Said district has a southern extension to the limits of the barrios of Can-ato, Aras-as (Burak) and Magtino of the Municipality of Llorente. In the east Tagasli-an is bounded by the barrio of Balogo, its sitio's of Gadgaran and Humalag and direct in straight line to Can-ato. In the north is bounded by the barrio of Canloterio, Kanmanong-dong and Malobago or the southern bank of the Suribao River. The western side is bounded by the territorial limits of the Municipality of Basey Samar.

From among several reasons or perhaps due to the difficulty of administration and supervision, the Provincial Administration deemed it necessary to discontinue the maintenance of said district, thus, transferring the supervision to the Municipality of Borongan. For over four (4) decades the settlement outside the northern boundary of Llorente have become the barrio of the Municipality of Borongan.

Until after several attempts to convert barrio Maydolong into a separate town the third congress of the Republic of the Philippines converted Maydolong into a Municipality. R.A. 609 was finally enacted, passed on May 1, 1951 embodying the Municipal Charter of Maydolong. This was eventually realized through the initiative of local leader such as the late Sebastian Montes, Sr. and the first appointed Mayor of Maydolong Hon. Ventura Ladiao. Citations worthy for late Cong. Gregorio Abogado who filed the bill in congress that ushered to the creation of the town of Maydolong.

Several chronological events are here noteworthy that shaped and reshaped the Municipality of Maydolong. R.A. 609 incorporated the barrios of Balogo, Maybocog, Omawas, Tagaslian, Kampakirit, Suribao, Mayburak, Kanmanongdong, Malobago, Tabi, Maytigbao and Canloterio. After R.A. 2181 was passed creating the Municipality of Balangkayan, R.A. 2891 was subsequently passed transferring the barrio of Balogo and the sitio of Tabi to the Municipality of Balangkayan. Several petitions of Barrio councils have been subsequently adapted by the past Municipal councils endorsing them to the Provincial Board eventually creating the current political composition of the Municipality of Maydolong.

Ventura Ladiao (Aug. 15, 1951 - Dec. 30, 1955) was appointed to head the first Municipal Council and was duly elected to the same position after the election was conducted. Then, he was succeeded by Crispin Ambida (1956-1964), Victoriano Ditalo (1964-1968), Crispin Ambida again (1968-1972), Felix Montes (1972-1986), Olympio Ambal who was appointed as Officer-in-Charge after the EDSA revolution (April 16, 1986 - Feb. 28, 1988) and Felix Montes was reelected under the 1987 constitution (1988 - 1992). During the 1992 synchronized elections Leo D. Azura, Sr. served for one 3-year term (1992-1995) under the Local Government Code of 1991 (R.A. 7160). In 1995 Hon. Felix A. Montes served as Mayor for two terms until 2001. The incumbent Mayor is Hon. Daniel E. Baldono who will be serving the 2007-2010 term.

Municipal Profile

Maydolong is one of the 23 Municipalities of the Province of Eastern Samar. The Municipality is approximately located at 125-degrees, 27-minutes east longitude and at 11-degrees, 27-minutes north latitude. It faces the Pacific Ocean on its eastern border and the Municipality of Borongan on its northern part with Suribao River as the boundary line. The Municipality of Balangkayan rests on its southeastern portion and the Municipality of Llorente over its southwestern side. Into the western portion lies the boundary of the Municipalities of Basey and Calbiga, of the Province of (Western) Samar.

It has in its territorial jurisdiction a composition of 13 rustic and rural barangays scattered just all around and 7 barangay subdivisions within the urban core or poblacion. The urban core being a coastal settlement and together with four (4) other coastal rural barngays has the remaining 9 barangays situated at the upland area of the municipality.

The national highway passes through the eastern part of the Municipality and just 21 kilometers or around 30 minutes drive away from Borongan, the capital town of the province. Land Area & Political Subdivision

The Municipality of Maydolong has a total land area of 413.80 sq. km. or 41,380 hectares and represents 9.26% of the total land area of the Province. Considering the area of the Municipality, Maydolong is occupying on an area just less extensive than that of Borongan, which has the widest among the Province's Municipalities. It is approximately 34 kilometers away from the Western Samar boundary and within just 10 kilometers of the highway, from Brgy. Camada, the northern boundary barangay to Barangay Campakirit the southernmost barangay.

Forests land accounts 22,143 hectares. represent 53.51% of the total land area. This is followed by agricultural lands with 16,482 hectares or representing 39.83%. Pasture/grasslands has an approximate area of some 2,661 hectares (6.43%), a total area of 54 (13%) hectares of wetlands inclusive of some 36 hectares of denuded mangroves along the shorelines. Built-up areas comprise more or less 37.558 hectares representing some 0.09% of the total land area. There around 13.19 hectares (0.03%) of roads throughout the municipality.

As to land area for each and every Barangay, there is no accurate secondary data available that could specify the actual extent of each. This maybe attributed to the fact that some barangays are situated in areas, which up to this day are classified as timberlands. But, recourse has been made to at least determine the approximate land area appertaining to each barangay. And, this was done by referring to the records of the Office of the Municipal Assessor and the approximate political boundaries as claimed by respective Barangay Officials.

From such records and research, it revealed that Maytigbao has the land area, which occupies 1,425 hectares. Barangay Canloterio with 3,140 hectares and Brgy. Lapgap with 1,300 hectares. Brgy. Campakirit has an area of 1,414 hectares and Brgy. Tagaslian has an area of 2,754 hectares. While Brgy. Maybocog lying immediately north of the Municipality occupies an area of 939 hectares and Brgy. Omawas with 870 hectares. Brgy Malobago is occupying the narrowest territorial jurisdiction with just 360 hectares. This maybe attributed to its geographical location being limited by the river on the north and very steep Rocky Mountains on the south.

Brgy. San Gabriel has an area of 2,303 hectares and Brgy. Camada with another 1,170 hectares. Brgy. Guindalitan and Brgy. Del Pilar shares 558 hectares and 2,644 hectares respectively. Brgy. Patag, the farthest upstream one occupying the whole of the western frontiers as an approximate area of more or less 22,201 hectares

Land Use

Existing General Land Use

The satellite images gathered from the National Mapping Resource and Information Authority (NAMRIA) shall be the primary data tool that will constitute the description of this document relative to existing land uses of the municipality. The information were lifted from the existing general land uses as indicated in said NAMRIA Map reproduced in August, 1988. This is in fact the latest available information as per records of said agency. The map hereto attached is a reproduction of such map so as to guide and be an official reference of this document. The description of the location and the area of the various existing general land uses are as follows:

Built-up Area

Residential (19.36 has. or 52%), commercial (1.25 has. or 3.34%), institutional (5.85 has or 15.66%), industrial (0.46 has or 1.23%), parks and open spaces (1.5 has. or 4.0%), transportation and utilities (9.14 has or 24%) and vacant lots within the built-up areas of the 19 rural barangays and the urban core area or the poblacion barangays including the built-up areas in every rural barangays comprise the built-up area of the municipality. There is a total built-up area of more or less 37.558 hectares or some 0.09% of the total land area of the municipality as per actual surveys and the official records of the Municipal Assessor.

Except for one settlement, Brgy. Patag the most interior into the western portion of the municipality, all are accessible either by road or through the Suribao river. Three of the upland settlements, Brgy. Maytigbao, Lapgap and Tagaslian, are practically inland while six (6) are located along the Suribao river. They compose the nine (9) upland settlements of the 13 rural settlements in the municipality. The poblacion is located along the coastal area, together with four (4) rural settlements, Brgys. Campakirit, Maybocog, Omawas and Camada. These coastal settlements are also traversed by the national highway. Geographically all settlements are within the eastern portion of the municipal territory as much of the western portion are forest areas.

Agricultural Area

The agricultural area occupies some 16,482 hectares or about 40% of the whole municipal land area. These areas are scattered all around the eastern portion of the municipality, majority are contiguous while some are thinly segregated by patches of grasslands that could be arable too and patches of few secondary forests. Some 20% of this agricultural land are dominated by coconut plantation while the rest are mixed arable farmlands. There is a very small area that can be purely devoted to rice production located within the eastern part of the central portion of the municipality, especifically within the territory of Brgy. Maytigbao and much smaller area within Brgy. 3 & 4 of the poblacion. But this is not to discount other areas that could be developed into upland rice production all over these areas. In fact there is at Brgy. Tagaslian and Canloterio an identified, though undeveloped area of more or less 65 hectares that maybe devoted to rice production. As lifted from the satellite description of the NAMRIA Map, it is herewith confirmed that of the total land area of 41,380 hectares (413.80 km2.), the prevailing land utilization of the municipality is characterized by the dominance of mixed types of agricultural and arable lands having an approximate area 13,544 hectares while 2,938 of those farmlands indicated in the map are dominantly planted to coconut. These farmlands consequently comprise the total agricultural land zone, which is generally located all over the municipality except to the western interior portion. The total agricultural area is hardly utilized to its optimum productivity with so much of these remain unproductive and are left undeveloped and vacant some eventually turned into grasslands.

Forest Land

There are about 54% of the total land area of the municipality occupied by forest area or some 22,143 hectares. The forestlands is classified into two types of vegetation one of which is the Mossy or old growth forest and the other is the closed canopy forests with more than 50% matured trees. Mossy forest as indicated constitutes an area of approximately 10,871 hectares or 26.27% of the total land area. Closed canopy forests comprise around 11,272 hectares or some 27.24% of the municipality. Combining these two types of forestlands, the municipality has a total forest cover equivalent to 53.51%, or some 22,143 hectares. The western portion of the whole municipality are of this type of land use extending from the Bihid river up into the borders of the municipalities of Basey and Calbiga in Western Samar.

Open Grassland

There are in the municipality no particularly or specific areas that can be literally considered as open grasslands. Although there maybe some of this characteristics, this are not meant to be their natural use but are actually farmlands that have been left vacant and cannot be tended by the farmers for some varied reasons but most commonly are abandoned farmlands as result of slash-and-burn farming. These areas are very common just all over the municipality comprising some 2,661 hectares of contiguous and several patches.

Open Water Spaces

These are the rivers, creeks, and seas within the territorial jurisdiction of the municipality. Specifically in the inland portion of the municipality the major water bodies are the Suribao river which extendsin to the western border of Calbiga, Western Samar. Another is the Bihid river which is one of the tributary of the Suribao river extending from this river to the southwest toward the border of Basey, Western Samar. Another tributary to the Suribao river is the Mayon river which runs parallel to the Bihid river but shorter from the former. All along these tributaries are numerous and unnamed creeks some are even uncharted and unexplored to this time. The fourth is the Bulalacao river which serve as the natural boundary between the municipality of Balangkayan at the south of the municipality.

The territorial seas of Maydolong extend, as provided in the Fishery Law, 15 kilometers eastward to the Philippine Sea having an area of more or less 20,000 hectares. Utilization of these open water spaces including the inland waters are limited to sustenance fishing with few investment in deep sea fishing limited also to some fish aggregating devices (payao) and vertical hook/line fishing.

Wetlands

There is a very negligible swampland area in the municipality, more or less 36 hectares, characterized by a denuded mangrove area. This maybe visibly seen around the vicinity of the mouths along the banks of the two rivers delineating the boundaries of the municipality, the Bulalacao river in the south toward poblacion as well as a very small portion along the embayed area of the Maydolong-Maybocog shoreline. An inland area, more or less 18 hectares, which is submerged all around two-third of the year could be seen at the western side of Brgy. 03, poblacion toward the boundary of Brgy. Maytigbao. Both inland and coastal wetland comprises some 54 hectares or some 13% of the whole municipality.

Road Network

The entire road network of the municipality has an approximate total area of 13.19 hectares, equivalent to more or less 0.03% of the total. This is composed of the National Highway, the provincial, farm-to-market roads connecting the upland areas to the main thoroughfares, and the road networks located in all built-up areas.

Existing Urban Land Use

The total approximate land area covering the seven (7) barangays of the poblacion of Maydolong is around 302 hectares. This is predominantly characterized by agricultural uses. There are about 253 hectares devoted to agriculture or 96.60%. Located all around except toward the eastern portion of the poblacion, this is a clear indicator of an agricultural town proper. There might be forested areas within the land area around the poblacion but they caanoot be considered as such the fact that they just become so from neglect and outgrowth from slash-and-burn farming. Forest trees have practically disappeared from this area. Some 1.52 hectares (0.50%) are grasslands occasionally utilized as pasture lands.

The Urban Built-up

The urban built-up area comprising some 16.076 hectares or 5.23% is characterized by dominance of residential uses accounting to 5.84 hectares or 36% more or less of this use category. An area of around 2.0 hectares or 12.44% is occupied by institutional facilities such as the municipal hall compound and other public buildings. Public utilities, such as roads and pathways, accounts for an approximate area of 6.39 hectares or 40% followed by those occupied by a very negligible few agro-industrial facilities of around 0.35 hectares more or less. Still within the urban built-up area are some used as parks and open spaces of around 1 hectare or 6.22% while some residential that are at the same time utilized as commercial facilities of around 0.5 hectares. The poblacion is the urban core of the municipality located at the southeastern portion of the municipal territory, nearer to the southern boundary of the municipality.

The description, location and areas of the various existing urban land uses are as follows:

Residential

This type of land use practically dominates the whole of the urban core where just like any typical community that has developed at this level, all other land uses are interlaced within this residential establishment due to practical demand and necessity without the benefit of previous planning. As mentioned above, this type of land use occupies some 36% against the total urban land area, which measures more or less 5.84 hectares. Commercial

As stated previously, consequential to necessity and demand, this type of land use has just sprouted from the residential establishments where majority of this type are actually serving dual purpose. Except for a very few, majority of the establishment of this land use type serve either as residences of the owner housing their commercial establishments or commercial establishments occupied as residences at the same time. Nevertheless for the purpose of classification and future references there are some 0.5 hectares or 1.66% of the urban land area, or 3.11% of the urban built-up area. These areas are located just all around the town proper with some bigger ones located in Brgys. 02, 03 and 05.

Institutional (Private and Government)

Occupied by both government and private institutions are some 2.0 hectares or 6.62% of the urban built-up area, or 0.66% against the total urban land area. Specifically these are areas where the central elementary school of Maydolong is located, over the area occupied by the offices of the local government and national agencies, public markets, brgy. halls, daycare centers, buildings of worship and other public utilities such as the municipal gymnasium, slaughterhouse and brgy. cultural stages.

Open Spaces
An approximate area of 1.0 hectare, more or less is devoted to this type of land use occupying some 6.22% against the urban built-up but is a meager 0.33% of the urban land area. This is where the public cemetery located at Brgy. 07, the basketball courts of several pobalcion brgys, the open tennis and basketball courts within the main public plaza of the town, and the Minasngi beach resort.

=Transportation and Other Utilities

This includes all the municipal and brgy. roads, streets, and pathways acoounting to some 6.39 hectares, 2.11% of the total urban land area while it accounts to around 40% of the urban built-up. It includes as well the proposed parking area beside the public market.

Swamps & Marshes
A negligible and small area of more or less 0.38 hectares is often submerged by water the two-thirds of the year located at the interior part of Poblacion Brgy. 03 maybe considered as wetlands in addition to few mangroves comprising of some 24 hectares or 0.80% respectively.

Bedrock Foundation

There are four (4) major rock formations found within the Municipality of Maydolong. These stones are the Caroline limestone, the Metavolcanic-ultrabasics and Sandstones and shales.

Caroline limestones are found largely along the eastern part of the municipality and some over its middle portion. Falling under the classification of sedimentary rocks and characterized as thick, extensive, well-compacted, often slightly crystalline reef and fore-reef facies limestones. Metavolcanics belonging to igneous rocks classifications and characterized as thick, extensive, chiefly basic volcanic sequence consisting of basalt dykes and sills, basaltic and andesitic lava’s and pyroclastics, volcanic breccia, interbedded and/or intercalated in places or with clastic rocks. These maybe found at the western portion stretching from Brgy. Patag up to the municipality's western and southwestern boundaries. Ultrabasics also belonging to igneous rocks classification and characterized to be basics and ultra-basics dykes and laccoliths intruding into the metavolcanic and metasedimentary complex and predominantly consisting of peridotite, dunite and minor gabbre, highly fractured and mostly segmentized. These can be found between the Barangays of Malobago and Camada and can also be found partly in Brgy. Tagaslian. Finally, sandstones and shale belonging to the sedimentary rocks, classified and characterized as thin, lenticular, highly fossileferous clastic beds, carbonaceous shade and merely limestone, uncomfortably everlying the basement rocks. These maybe found over the areas of Brgy. Lapgap up to the municipality's southwestern frontiers.

Soil Classification

Soil Types.

Three (3) principal soil types are found in the municipality. These soil types dominating over this area are the mountain soil, the Umingan Clay Loam and the Maydolong Sandy Loam.

The mountain soils maybe found over the areas of Barangays Patag, Del Pilar, San Gabriel, Tagaslian and Canloterio or practically over all the areas of the upstream barangays of the municipality. This also dominates over the entire areas of the municipality’s forestlands. The Umingan Clay Loam is found over the coastal Barangays of Omawas, Camada, Campakirit and over the urban area of Maydolong proper. Part of the urban area of the municipality has also this type of soils, including the Barangays of Maytigbao, Lapgap and Malobago. The Maydolong sandy loam are dominantly found in the area over some portion of the urban area, Barangays Omawas, Maybocog and Campakirit.

Land Capability.

Much of the land of the municipality maybe described as those of a moderately good land in terms of land capability classification. Heavily characterized by varied level of slopes ranging from moderate to very steep slopes. Over these areas are found some portions with agricultural capability depending on the type of crops to be produced. Basically these areas maybe cultivated to timber as well as coconut production. Agriculture venture over these areas will definitely necessitate careful planning against erosion, careful management and intensive conservation practices. This occupies more or less 96% of the total land area, or about 39,724 hectares.

There is also a wide portion of good land suitable to various agricultural productions. Dominantly characterized by nearly level with occurrences of depressions, these areas can be cultivated safely but may require protection from occasional overflow while implementing easy conservation and soil management. This occupies about 3% of the total land area or more or less 1,241 hectares.

The portion of level land occupies the smallest area. Characterized by almost flat and mildly rolling, these areas are suited to agricultural food production such as rice, corn and rootcrops. This area occupies the remaining 1% of the total land area, found mostly along the coastline of the municipality with an approximate area of more or less 415 hectares.

Rainfall Pattern.

The municipality has two (2) distinct seasons although rainfall is experienced for most part of the year. The record of the PAGASA, Guiuan Observation Station located at Guiuan, Eastern Samar, shows that during the periods of 1976 - 1992, the rainy months of the year are the months of October all through the months of February including June and September, while dry season fall under the months of March, April, May, July and August. The rainiest months starts from the months of November to January, while the driest months are May, April and August.

The months of November has the highest average monthly-rainfall, which was recorded at 436.71 millimeters, while the months of April has registered the lowest average monthly-rainfall, recorded at 97.72 mm. The months of December has the highest number of rainy days at 25.2 days as the average monthly rainy days and the months of August, which was having constantly a fairly low average monthly rainy days at 14 days.

The lowest minimum temperature was during the month of November with 17.2 degrees Celsius, and its highest maximum temperature was during the months of May at 37.8 degrees Celsius.

Relative humidity was fairly low during the months of August having 80.3% and fairly high during the months of November recorded at 86.1%

1.2 AGRARIAN SITUATION

1.2.1 Situation Prior CARP Implementation

There was a wide tract of land, which was formerly the old site of the Maydolong National Agricultural School (MNAS) with an area of more than 1,000 hectares, but was not fully utilized by the school. This situation triggers the DAR to acquire a portion of the land for distribution to landless farmers. The DAR Secretary represented by the Regional Director of Region 08 and the DECS Secretary represented by DECS Regional Director Region 08 signed a Memorandum of Agreement to transfer ownership of 243.3042 hectares of the former MNAS school site to DAR for distribution to farmer beneficiaries under the EO 407/448 land acquisition scheme. There were also landowners who owned land and more than five hectares but only few of them have titles to these properties. Since most lands were untitled, they were excluded form CARP coverage because land classification of Maydolong took place only after April 1960. These lands then were covered under leasehold.

1.2.2 CARP Implementation Status

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) was able to acquire 243.3042 hectares of land from the old site of MNAS and was distributed to 83 ARBs. Portion of this DAR acquire area is still covered by forest and have not been cultivated by the beneficiaries, while 22.9962 private agricultural lands were covered under Voluntary Land Transfer (VLT) scheme. The total CARP scopes of 266.3004 hectares under the Land Distribution (LAD) have been 100 percent distributed. The 2,006.2970 hectares for Non-Land Acquisition and Distribution (Non-LAD) are under Leasehold agreement. This covers 521 agricultural lessees.

The status of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) in Maydolong ARC is shown below:

Base on the CARP Implementation Status on Table 3, Maydolong ARC is LAD free. There is a 100% accomplishment Land Tenure Improvement (LTI) both in the Land Acquisition and Distribution (LAD) and the Non-LAD.

Maydolong ARC was launched in 1998. In terms of ARC Level of Development Assessment (ALDA), Maydolong is classified as semi-prime. ARCP intervention jointly done by the DAR and the LGU has reached the rating to Level 4 which indicates a high level of development for 2006. Maydolong ARC has been recorded recently as one (1) of the best ARC in the province.

1.3 PHYSICAL FEATURES

1.3.1 Land Resources and Major Land Uses

The total area of Maydolong ARC is 9,526.75, which is 15 percent of its total land area of the Municipality. The land area by Barangay is presented below.

Table 5. Land area by Barangay, Maydolong ARC, 2006 ARC Barangay Total Land Area (has.) % Total ARC Area Canloterio 3,140.0000 32.96 Guindalitan 558.0000 5.87 Lapgap 1,300.0000 13.65 Maytigbao 1,425.0000 14.95 Malobago 450.7500 4.73 Camada 350.0000 3.67 San Gabriel 2,303.0000 24.17 TOTAL 9,526.7500 100.00

Health Facilities

The main or Municipal Health Center is located in the town proper of Maydolong just adjacent to the Municipal Building. Having the necessary health personnel which shall be discussed later, the main health center is supposed to serve an area coverage of five (5) poblacion barangays (Brgys. 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7). But this doesn’t mean to disregard other barangays of the municipality, which technically is, and actually the total coverage of the municipality’s health center. The barangays mentioned above are just those directly covered by the center during normal conditions or as administrative area coverage.

Aside from this main health center, there are Barangay Health Stations covering or catering health services to satellite barangays that are within their proximate vicinity.

One health station is located at Barangay Campakirit which is catering health services to two (2) urban barangays (Brgy. 1 & 2) and Brgy. Maytigbao. Another is health station located at Brgy. Maybocog which is having Brgys. Omawas and Camada as its satellite barangays. The third barangay health station is the one located at Brgy. Canloterio, one of the barangays up along the Suribao River and are most considered to be hard-to-reach, less-served and deprived barangays. This particular barangay health station is catering health services to all of the eight (8) upstream barangays. This condition is very unfortunate considering their far distance from each barangay which in fact are separated from each other by an average of 2.5 km. more or less. This is aggravated by the absence of roads linking each of these barangays with only the river and trails as source of transportation. An urgent form of action needs to initiate the soonest possible time. The supposed immediate solution is timely and is realized very much commendable to prevent any health related unfavorable outbreak thereby preventing health problems of epidemic dimensions. Moreover there is a very high risk of health hazards over these areas as they are not immediately or easily accessible. Without any professional or just skilled or at least a trained health worker, an untoward outbreak of illness will definitely cost extensive cases over these areas. Having only one midwife for these eight (8) upstream barangays, the most immediate possible solution perhaps is to increase the health personnel precisely by training Barangay Health Workers and an intensive campaign to lessen the 58% households without water sealed toilets. In fact there are two (2) barangays having a total absence of this very important sanitation facility.

Service Facilities

There are two (Globe and SMART) existing telecommunication facilities catering the municipality. The National Telecommunication Office has still its office within the municipal hall with available telegraph services. There is also one (1) private cable tv business operating in the locality providing to its subscribers some of the dominant tv stations in the country.

The entire municipality is provided with a grid line electric power by the Eastern Samar Electric Cooperative (ESAMELCO). There is a level-III water system covering the entire poblacion area of the municipality including brgys. Maybocog and Campakirit, serving some 7,706 or 60% of the total population of the municipality over a total of nine (9) brgys . Likewise there are barangays with level-II water system such as Barangays Camada, Guindalitan, Canloterio, Tagaslian, San Gabriel and Del Pilar. These brgys has an aggregate total population of 3,117 or some 24% of the total population. 10 of the 13 rural barangays have their own L-II or L-III potable water systems while the rest are served by slean creeks and springs in their respective localities. Those remaining population not served by Level-II or III water systems tap their water requirements from either deep or shallow wells constructed by the government or owned privately while the remaining few draw their water sources from creeks or open springs. They compose of some 16% of the total population.

Credit Institutions

The immediate proximity and accessibility of the municipality with the capital town constrain businesses specially financial institutions to be located in the municipality. There is nevertheless a strong people’s development cooperative catering to the micro credit needs of the community including micro savings deposit services.

Waste Management

Segregation and composting at household level is strictly being implemented in the municipality. The program is enforced through a Solid Waste Management Ordinance (Ord.#03-09) reinforced by respective barangay ordinances. The Municipal LGU maintains a sustainable final categorized disposal containment area equipped with concrete septic vaults for hazardous wastes designed to contain such type of wastes for the next 30-50 years.

Road Network

All types of roads by materials used and administration accounts some 0.78 kilometers to every square kilometers of land area. This road density is just as enough to provide accessibility for a typical agricultural community with over 50% of the land area with an excellent forest cover.

Mode of Public Transportation

Land transportation services are readily available linking the locality to almost all the major destination and exit points in the country.
