1.Location, Land Area and
Political Subdivisions
1.1.
A
Location
gusan del Sur is located in Northeastern Mindanao, bounded on the North by
Agusan del Norte, on the south by Compostela Valley, on the west by Misamis
Oriental and Bukidnon, and on the East by Surigao del Sur. The province is
landlocked and can be reached only by land transportation through the Davao - Butuan
National Highway. Three minor roads also provide access for travelers coming from Tandag,
Lianga, Barobo, and Bislig City in Surigao del Sur and another road connects the
southwestern part of the province with Asuncion, Compostela Valley (ComVal) Province. All
four roads, however, intersect the National Highway at different points. Although Agusan
River is a potential route towards the province, no existing ferry facilities ply to and from
Butuan City or ComVal Province.

Climate and Rainfall
The province is geographically situated below the typhoon belt but it is usually affected by
depressions forming in the typhoon regions of Visayas and Surigao del Norte. The climate
map of the Philippines, based on modified Coronas classification, shows that portion of the
province falls under type II, and portion on the western side of Misamis Oriental and
Bukidnon falls under type IV (rainfall is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year).
Type II climate has no dry season with a pronounced maximum rain period. The province
experiences maximum rainfall from December to January and has no single dry month.
Areas characterized by this climate are generally along or near the eastern coast; thus are
open to the northeast monsoon.
Figure 1 shows that heavy rainfall starts in either December or January and slowly abates
approaching February or March.

1.4.
Political Subdivision
The seat of the provincial government is at the Government Center located in Barangay
Patin-ay, Prosperidad. The Center also hosts the offices of national government agencies.
There are 13 municipalities and one city in the province. Seven are located along the
Philippine-Japan Friendship Highway or Agusan-Davao National Highway and are called as
“highway towns and city.” These are Sibagat, Bayugan City, Prosperidad, San Francisco,
Rosario, Bunawan, and Trento. The municipalities of Sta. Josefa, Veruela, Talacogon, San
Luis and Esperanza are positioned near the Agusan River. Along the Umayam and Adgawan
Rivers, tributaries to the Agusan River, are the municipalities of Loreto and La Paz,
respectively. Towns found along these rivers are called “river towns.”
Agusan del Sur has 318 barangays. Each barangay is headed by an elected Barangay
Chairperson.
2.Land Classification
The province is classified into Alienable and Disposable Land (A&D) and Timberland. The
A&D is further classified into four: Settlement, Agricultural, Protected and Undeveloped,
covering a combined land area of 216,043 hectares or 24% of the province’s land area. On
the other hand, Timberland covers 680,507 hectares (76% of the province) and further
divided into Production Land (243,888 hectares) and Protection Land (436, 619 hectares).

2.3. Slopes
Areas suitable for agricultural crops and settlement are land within slopes of 0 o to 18o.
Tables below shows slopes within A & D and Timberland and distribution of land resources
by slope category for further policy recommendations.
Slopes 0 – 3 are prime agricultural land, which needs to be protected under National
Protected Area for Agricultural Development (NAPAAD). Slopes 3 - 8 are suitable for
cultivated crops such as corn, vegetables, rootcrops, spices, and other cash crops; and
slopes 8 – 18 for plantation crops and vines.

Seven of these major river tributaries (Gibong, Simulao, Ihaoan, Umayam, Adgaoan, Ojot,
Pusilao and Kawayan) are used as means of transportation. On the other hand, the Gibong,
Simulao, Lugom, Baobo and Kasilayan are also tapped as River Irrigation Systems (RIS).
Most of these rivers are already shallow due to heavy siltation caused by severe riverbank
erosion, deforestation and other human activities.
Many of these bodies of water have been inventoried with the lakes covering a total area of
1,963.89 hectares; rivers and creeks covering 3,163.93; and inland waters (i.e. streams)
covering 11,581.164 hectares. These water resources are shown in the Drainage Map of the
province.

Geologic Features
Agusan del Sur is endowed with rich and fertile soil. Because of its soil fertility, varied crops
could be grown. Based on the Land Resources Evaluation Project conducted by the Bureau
of Soils in 1983, the province’s soil types are characterized from deep to very deep,
moderately deep to shallow, and shallow to slightly acidic, strongly acidic, moderately
acidic, neutral high fertility and low fertility. It also has varied colors: dark-brown, brown,
dark yellowish brown, very dark grayish brown and reddish brown. The soil types include
clay, clayey, loam, loamy, silty loam, sandy, clay loam, coarse loamy and clayey loamy. The
clayey and loamy types are richer in nutrients than sandy soils. The soil’s texture affects
plant growth and agricultural management.

4.3. Poverty Incidence
CBMS data in 2005 also revealed that there are 54,407 or 49.86% of households with
income below the annual food threshold of Php 9,354.00 per capita. These are the number
of households that experienced food shortage. Again, the municipalities of San Luis and
Loreto ranked high with 72.68% and 70.73% respectively as households with income below
the food threshold. In the lower range are San Francisco, Trento and Bayugan with lesser
percentage with 29.03%, 43.02% and 44.63% respectively.
To generate employment and to increase the family income, ecotourism is promoted in
selected priority sites such as lakes in Agusan Marsh, Bahbah Caves, Biga Falls, and Mt
Magdiwata for mountain trekking.

5.2. Livestock and Poultry
Livestock and poultry production are another sources of livelihood in the province. Based on
CBMS- 2005, there are 50,560 households or 46% engaged in livestock and poultry
production.
The livestock industry is primarily dominated by swine numbering at 77,948 heads (refer to
Table 13). In 2007, swine inventory has decreased by 3.28% from 93,246 heads in 2003 to
77,948 heads in 2007. This was because the province has low production of swine but has
high extraction rate considering that the demand of pork is high at 8.01 kg per capita per
year. Meanwhile, carabao is the second largest group with 30,461 heads in 2007, registering

Chicken
Generally, the province is deficit in meat production because most of the households only
venture into backyard raising rather than in commercial scale. The major reason for this is
lack of financial capacity of farmers to engage in commercial production. Specifically, the
province is deficit of beef and chicken meat based on the meat production estimates for the
three-year period from 2005 to 2007. Table 14 shows that beef production has decreased by
14.42% (30 MT) while chicken meat has decreased by 71.11% (64 MT).
On the other hand, the province is in surplus of meat such as carabeef, pork, and chevon
(goat’s meat) at excesses of 29.05%, 32.88% and 16.67% respectively. Major factor for the
surplus is the imported live animals brought in the province but the specific percentage has
not been recorded. Pork has the highest value of production in 2007 at P140.00 per kilo.
Overall, meat production should be supported because of the increasing demand.
Moreover, programs on livestock and poultry production should be strengthened to
produce more meat to meet the province’s demand. It can also increase farmers’ income
thus helping reduce poverty.

5.3. Fishery
Agusan del Sur is a landlocked province, only fresh water fish are available from lakes,
rivers, and creeks, which is not enough to supply the need of the province. The Lakes in
Agusan Marsh are among the sources of fish such as Tilapia, mudfish, catfish and others.
The province established Provincial Fish Hatchery to supply Backyard fishponds, and Fish
Cages raisers. Table below shows the fish production from 2003 – 2006.

5.4. Forest Products
The province is known for its rich natural resources. It has vast forest cover and forestry is
one of the economic activities of the people. There are 21,932 households or 20.1% who are
engaged in forestry (CBMS 2005). The heavy loads of trucks carrying forest products need to
be considered in road planning and design.

5.5. Mining and Quarrying
The province is also rich in mineral resources that include gold, silver, lead, limestone,
molybdenum, zinc and rock aggregates. Only gold is being extracted by small-scale mining
companies operating in the province since 1995.
Figure 10 shows the production in metric ton of the small-scale mining in the province. It
shows the fluctuating trend in the production from 2003-2007, dropping substantially in
2007 but recovering subsequently in 2006.
Figure 10: Small-scale Mining Production in MT, Agusan del Sur, 2003-2007
The province has three types of mining and quarrying activities, specifically small-scale gold
mining operations, quarrying of sand and gravel, and extraction of lime and guano.
For the five-year period (2003-2007), the mining and quarrying sector contributed
Php16,162,116.15 to the province’s coffers.

Trend
and
Existing Land Use
Agusan del Sur is an agri-forest based province. Based on 2007 land use survey, the
production areas posted the highest share with 555,305 hectares or 61.93% out of the total
land area of 896,550 hectares. This was followed by protection areas with a share of
272,553.16 hectares (30.40%) and built-up areas and other areas for infrastructure,
tourism and water resources with a share of 68,691.84 hectares (7.67%).
The production areas are classified into agricultural land with 118,686 hectares and
production forest with 436,619 hectares. In agricultural land, the major crops grown are rice
with 59,102 hectares mostly found in Bayugan, Prosperidad, Veruela, Bunawan, San
Francisco and Esperanza; corn planted in 27,054 hectares that are mostly located in
Bayugan, Esperanza, Prosperidad, Trento and Sta. Josefa; coconut with 26,389 hectares
found in Sibagat, Trento and Veruela; oil palm established by Filipinas Palm Oil Incorporated
(FPII) and Agusan Palm Oil Incorporated (API) in 16,113 hectares spread across San
Francisco, Rosario, Bunawan, Trento and Loreto; banana grown in 5,198 hectares in
Bayugan, Sibagat and Veruela; and rubber planted in 4,485 hectares in Esperanza, Bayugan,
Prosperidad, and Talacogon.
On the other hand, the production forest covers a total of 436,619 hectares of which
235,412 hectares are residual forest; 76,168 hectares are brushland/openland; 66,360
hectares are under tenurial instruments such as Industrial Forest Management Agreement
(IFMA), Community Based Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA), and Socialized
Integrated Forest Management Agreement, (SIFMA); and 57,689 hectares are cultivated and
occupied area. Area open for development are the residual forest and the brushland with a
total area of 311,580 hectares. These are areas open for expansion of agricultural and
commercial crops.
The protection areas include National Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS) with
40,954 hectares, Non-NIPAS with 16,442 hectares, and protected areas within alienable and
disposable land with 28,524 hectares.
The built-up areas cover only 898.47 hectares while other areas with 67,793.7 hectares
include rivers and lakes, parks and other potential tourist destinations.

Development Trends
Based on 2003 to 2007 data, there was no significant increase of the built-up areas in the
province with the population growth rate of 1.19% per annum. But based on density, it is
projected that by 2017, the built-up/settlements area will have grown by 66% from 898.47
hectares to 1,492.56 hectares.
The protection area is increasing from 13.19% in 2003 to 30.40% in 2007. This could be
attributed to the improved consciousness and awareness of the people on the significance
of balance ecology as an outcome of the implementation of the Provincial Forest Land Use
Plan and the adoption of the Provincial Environmental Code and its implementing Rules and
Regulations. This was complemented with the inclusion of buffer zone within protected
areas and riverbank easements as well as proclamation of watersheds. To address climate
change and sustainable development, it is projected that these protected areas will be
maintained.
On the other hand, the Timberland area was decreasing as some areas had been declared as
protected land while others had been considered as open for expansion of agricultural and
commercial crops.
In agricultural areas, significant increase has been observed for banana (45%), other fruits
(33%), and cacao (34%). Tremendous growth of commercial crops in the production areas
has been noted with abaca at 800%, oil palm at 101% and rubber at 48%. This could be the
result of the One Town, One product (OTOP) strategy of the Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI).
Other cultivated crops such as rice, corn, vegetable and root crops have minimal increase in
production areas.
Based on the trend, the following options may be considered:



Resource-based. Focus on production and establishment of processing center of
crops dominant in the area based on its suitability and sustainability.
Employment/income driven. Prioritize commodities/industries that will generate
more employment and will increase income per capita.
Market driven. Focus on commodities with high market demand.

Physical Framework
The Provincial Development Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP-2008-2017) adopts the
Growth Diamond preferred strategy of the Provincial Physical Framework Plan (PPFP -19932002). This strategy embraces the integrated area development approach, where the 14
municipalities of the province are grouped into four clusters, each with designated growth
center. It is aligned with the strategic direction of the province as an agro-industrialized and
eco-tourism center, promoting investments in the areas of agriculture, forestry and ecotourism.
The functional roles of each Convergence Development Area (CDA) are as follows:
CDA1 – An Agri-Processing Center (Bayugan, Sibagat and Esperanza)
Bayugan serves as the growth center where major trading, commercial and services are
located. It is also the processing center for corn and banana as well as supplier of vegetables
and cutflowers. Sibagat is the abaca and coconut production and processing center.
Esperanza serves as source of fresh and processed tilapia, rice and corn.
CDA2- Government Center and Commercial Center (San Francisco, Prosperidad, Rosario
and Bunawan)
San Francisco serves as the growth center where commercial, banking, communication and
tourism services are located. It is also proposed as the gold buying station of the province.
Prosperidad, as the provincial capital, serves as the government center to showcase
excellence in governance at the same time producer of rice and oil palm and an emerging
tourist destination. Rosario is the center of oil palm production and processing as well as the
gold mining industry. Bunawan is the gateway to Agusan Marsh and source rice, oil palm,
fresh and processed mudfish.
CDA 3 – Organic Food and Rubber Production and Processing Center (Trento, Sta. Josefa,
Veruela and Loreto)
Trento serves as the growth center and the producer of coconut, rice, duck, organic rice,
corn, and swine. Sta. Josefa is corn capital of the province but also produces organic rice,
fruits and vegetables. Veruela is the producer of rice, banana, coconut, and rubber. Loreto
becomes the expansion areas for rice, corn, coconut and rubber.
CDA 4 – Wood Processing Center of the province (Talacogon, La Paz and San Luis)
Talacogon serves as the growth center, wood processing zone and rice producer. La Paz, on
the other hand, is the source of commercial trees and expansion areas for rice, corn,
banana, fruits, and rubber. San Luis is the source of commercial trees, rattan processing
center and corn and livestock producer.
By 2017, under “do nothing” strategy in CDA 1, Bayugan will have still been categorized as
medium town and the growth center. Though it has the largest population and considered
the most densely populated municipality in the province, it has experienced the slowest
33 | E c o l o g i c a l P r o f i l e
growth in population from 2000 to 2007. Esperanza, on the other hand, will have grown
from a small town to a medium town, requiring more social services and infrastructure
support to cope with its growing population. Sibagat will have remained a small town and
will have likely depended on Bayugan City for its services due to proximity.
Anticipating the impact of current the establishment of forward linkages like corn
processing center, wood processing center and banana processing center and all-weather
road connecting production areas to other municipalities in the province and municipalities
of Surigao del Sur and Agusan del Norte, Bayugan will likely have grown double its
population and will have become a large town by 2027. Hence, there is a need to upgrade
its medical and educational facilities to the tertiary level. For sustainable agri-industry in
CDA 1, more interventions should be provided for watershed management of Wawa and
Andanan River.

In CDA 2, under the “do nothing” scenario, San Francisco and Prosperidad, despite of their
fast growth and high density, will remain as medium towns. San Francisco will maintain as
the commercial and services center and the growth center of CDA 2. Prosperidad, being the
capital of the province, will showcase as the center of excellence in governance. On the
other hand, Bunawan, which has experienced the fastest growth among the municipalities
in the province, will have grown from a small town to medium town by 2017. Rosario will
have remained a small town.
It is projected that after 15 years, the population of San Francisco will double and rise as
large town. This is anticipated with the implementation of the provincial tourism
development master plan, which highlights the nearby town of Bunawan as the southern
gateway to Agusan Marsh, features Mt. Magdiwata and falls in San Francisco, and Gibong
River and Bahbah Cave in Prosperidad.
The rapid growth of municipalities in CDA 2 will eventually make it as a growth corridor
expanding to all other clusters in Agusan del Sur, and to the provinces of Surigao del Sur and
Compostela Valley. This is expected to happen with the completion of Jumbo bridge
connecting the municipalities of Veruela and Loreto to Bunawan. Cluster 2 is not only
positioning as government center but also center for eco-tourism, mining and oil palm
industries. To cope with the growing demand for social and economic services, support
infrastructure like reliable power and communication, adequate potable water supply and
transportation network should be in place. Likewise, tourism services and facilities should
be established to cater the needs of increasing number of tourists.

Under CDA 3, Trento, though considered as one of the fast growing towns, will have
remained as a medium town and the growth center by 2017. Sta. Josefa with its high
population density and high growth rate will have also remained as small town together
with Veruela and Loreto. From 2000 to 2007, Veruela showed a slower growth but became
densely populated. With this trend, expansion will likely have spread to Loreto with large
44 | E c o l o g i c a l P r o f i l e
potential areas for agricultural and industrial development like rice and corn processing,
rubber processing plant and banana production.
The cluster will have also maintained its position as the center of organic farming in the
province and in Caraga Region. The completion of the Agusan del Sur circumferential road
and east-west lateral road connecting Agusan del Sur to Bislig City and Bukidnon are
expected to spur economic development in the cluster. Thus, the need for more upgraded
medical and educational services and support infrastructure.

Under CDA 4, San Luis, La Paz and Talacogon municipalities with increasing growth will have
remained small towns with Talacogon as growth center and the provincial industrial center.
It will also have maintained its role as the provincial wood processing center with its
potential areas for agri-industrial development. Spillover of economic activities in CDA 2 will
have most likely be extended to CDA 4. This would be possible if the necessary social
services and other support for economic services and infrastructure will be in-placed.
