HISTORY AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
History of the Barangay
Since fishing was the major source of livelihood by the first settlers at the time,
settlement was concentrated at the mouth of the river and along the coastal areas.
Local folklore maintains that the Barangay got its name from the natives who heard
Ngal-ngal, an eerie sound coming from the mouth of the river, possibly the cry of a
crocodile that lives in the river. However, another story tells of a Japanese visitor who
asked a Chavacano settler in the area about the local name of the mangrove to which
the Chavacano replied ‘Mangle’. Through time, the Barangay adopted mangal as its
official name.
In the early days, the Barangay was entirely agricultural, endowed with rich and wide
agro-forest area fully planted with coconut, coffee, cacao and rubber. There was also
an abundant supply of beach sand until it was depleted by constant quarrying to meet
the construction needs of the residents and other individuals with business interest.
Table 1: Historical Timeline
Period
Important Events and Milestones
1910
Arrival of the Yakan, Tausug and Samal Bangingi ethnic groups in
the area.
1921
Foreign logging concessionaires, Guy Holland, Andres Concha
Pastor and A.E Roberts, arrived in the area.
The logging concessions ended with the Japanese occupation that
started in 1944 during World War II. More than half of the Barangay’s
forest cover was cleared after the loggers left the area.
1945
After the Japanese surrendered in 1945, a Swiss national, Walter
Boesterly, reopened the logging operations. With the expansion of
logging activities, he started to clear the area and plant rubber,
coconut, citrus, coffee and abaca (Manila hemp) . He also ventured
into raising swine and other livestock. With increased production, he
established the Mangal Development Company (MADECO).
1972
President Ferdinand E. Marcos declared martial law which triggered
the emergence of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). The
Barangay was not spared from frequent armed clashes between the
MNLF and the Armed Forces of the Philippines. As the clashes
intensified, MADECO stopped its logging and plantation operations.
1973
Mr. Boesterly sold MADECO to the Philippine Expeditionary Force to
Korea (PEFTOK) in the sum of PhP3 million due to the peace and
security problems in the area. PEFTOK continued the business
operations of MADECO from 1973 to 1983 under the management of
Col. Emil Liclican and Col. Ricafort. Lacking in plantation
Page 6
management skills, the business operation of MADECO did not fare
well.
1983
PEFTOK management declared bankruptcy and sold what remained
of MADECO to Jaka Group of Companies owned by former Defense
Minister, now Senator Juan Ponce Enrile who, then, renamed
MADECO to Eurasia Match Incorporated.
1990-1994
Eurasia reported huge losses in its business operations and, with the
advent of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), the
management decided to offer the entire plantation for distribution to
farm workers under the Voluntary Offer to Sell (VOS) option.
1994
The agrarian reform beneficiaries organized under the name Mangal
Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Development Cooperative
(MARBEDCO) took control of the agricultural plantation operations up
to the present.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Income and Employment
The Barangay is one of the major producers of copra and rubber latex/limps in the
province. Its coastal resources also boast of a variety of fish and other sea products
which made fishing a secondary source of income for most households.
Forty percent of the residents (176 HH) earn their living from farming. Eighty eight
households or 20% are dependent on fishing for their livelihood while 15% or 66
households are employed either by government or private establishments. Ten
percent are into trading and another 10% are self-employed in small-scale businesses
like sari-sari stores. Five percent of households depend on the remittances of their
relatives who are Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW). The average household income
is estimated at PhP 4,500 a month.

SECTORAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS
Sectoral Issues and Concerns
Most of the issues and concerns identified per sector are highly important. Out of 16
issues and concerns, 14 are highly urgent (88%), while two issues are of moderate
concern (12%). These issues revolve around improving access to social services,
additional infrastructure support and utilities, poverty alleviation, environmental health,
and peace and security.
Addressing these issues and concerns, however, requires long-tem capacity building
and strengthening of Barangay development administration and governance through
training and empowerment of Barangay officials and personnel in policy formulation,
revenue generation, planning and budget administration, project implementation and
monitoring, among others. At present, the Barangay is highly dependent on IRA and
does not have the capacity to generate income from other sources.

PROGRAMS, PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
Programs, Projects and Activities
The Barangay is better off in terms of programs/projects/activities compared to other
less developed barangays of Sumisip. While most of the programs and projects are
targeting indigents and less privileged segment of the population, the Barangay has
to ensure that access to social services and economic opportunities is more
equitably distributed across sectors and sitios/puroks.
