Community Profile
Manambulan is a barangay in Tugbok, one of the rural areas in Davao City.
Barangay Manambulan consists of approximately 3,000 populations according to the
2015 census. However, the population has increased over the years. Presently, the
population has now reached more than 5,000 as it is reported that there is an increased
number of people moving from the rural areas to the barangay for the past five years.
Barangay Manambulan is a bit similar to other developing barangays within Davao
City such as Guianga and Lubugan. It is quite a very rural area since the barangay is
mostly surrounded by trees. Fruit harvesters and buyers visit Barangay Manambulan very
often during peak seasons for it possesses a lot of fruit-bearing trees such as rambutan,
lanzones, santol, mangoes, pomelo, and coconuts. Though the barangay does not have
many structural necessities such as grocery stores and people’s market at least it has the
basics like elementary school, barangay hall, water station namely Mawasa, and a health
center. However, the barangay has a poor signal connection, impaired roads and it lacks
water supply.
As a community, the residents in barangay Manambulan are very responsible for
their trash. People there would not litter anywhere. The barangay is a very peaceful,
clean, and green community. The people do not live very close to other people as one’s
area is already measured upon. Even though the barangay is not that very active when it
comes to conducting activities such as pageants, sports, and anything similar, the
barangay always held its fiesta on the 2nd week of September every year. The people
there are helpful, kind, and affable.
