Socio Economic and Physical Profile Municipality of Pola, Oriental Mindoro Final Report The Municipality of Pola registered a total population of 32,984 in 2010 as shown in the above table. From 21,884 in 1960, it increased by 51 percent over a 50-year period. The municipality’s population growth has been relatively slow lately except during 1918, 1939, 1960 and 1980 where population accelerated by 6.61, 4.15, 4.70 and 3.99 percent respectively. (Refer to table 3.2) The growth pattern of Pola’s population from 1960 to 2010 did not resemble that of the province. Pola has lagged behind the province, as far as growth rate is concerned, except during the period of 1960 to 1980 (refer to Table 3.3). The high rate of increase of Oriental Mindoro’s population may be attributed to the rapid growth of Puerto Galera and Mansalay, which grew by 4.05 and 2.90 percent, respectively, between 2000 and 2010.

For instance, in the reproductive ages (15-49) years, the female population is relatively lower than the male population at 23 and 22 percent, respectively. This may indicate a slow rise in birth rate at least in the near future. 3.1.3.5 Urbanization Level Urbanization level refers to the percentage of urban population to the total population in the municipality. Table 3.10 indicates that the municipality’s level of urbanization was almost the same for the past two censal years at 3.97 and 3.28 respectively. Tempo of urbanization, on the other hand refers to the difference between the population growth in the urban and rural areas.

The cemeteries are accessible through the Pola-Socorro National Road and Fosterville-Pantay, Barangay Road. At present, both cemeteries are already congested Municipality of Pola Socio Economic and Physical Profile Page 21 Socio Economic and Physical Profile Municipality of Pola, Oriental Mindoro Final Report 4.2.4. Solid Waste and Waste Water Facilities Solid waste management still remains a major concern for the municipality. The old dumpsite at Barangay Bayanan has since been rehabilitated and closed for almost three years. The property has been acquired by the government for low cost housing purposes and the new dumpsite has been moved to nearby private property which is under CARP. The new area which is more or less one (1) hectare has been rented and maintained by the Local Government. It has a backhoe for land filling purposes. Using waste generation rate of 0.5 kg/person/day (HLURB-Guidebook Volume 2) based on the estimated population, the collection areas of the four (4) barangays are generating 2681 kg/day or 8 cubic meter (based on an estimated waste density of 330kg/m3 – HLURB Guide Book-Volume 2). Garbage is collected by one (1) dump truck with a 5 cubic meter capacity. The cumulative waste generation for the next ten (10) years based on the projected population is about 30,377 cu.m. Using the waste density of 330kg/m3 and a landfill depth of 5.0 meters, the area requirement by the year 2022 is about 9.06 hectares (See table 4.17 for the volume of waste generated/facilities and Area Requirements) Table 4.17 Volume of Waste Generated and Area Requirements for Controlled or Sanitary landfill Facilities.

Farming management practices varies for individual crops. Cropping systems consist of interrelated activities in the farm which involve the quality of land, crops planted, livestock raised, climate or weather condition and availability of water supply. The types of cropping system are the following: 1. Mono-cropping – growing of single type of crop on a piece of land on an annual basis like palay, coconut and citrus. 2. Intercropping – growing of two types of crops simultaneously on the same piece of land. Farmers have a base crop like coconut intercrop with banana or any other crops planted in between rows of the main crop. The main objective of intercropping is to maximize the use of land for higher production and stability of farmer’s income. 3. Mixed cropping system – a common practice of farmers in one backyard. It is the growing of two or more crops intermingled without any row pattern. The objective is to meet per capita requirements for vegetables and other crops. The system is also popularly known as subsistence farming. 4. Integrated farming – it is a method of integrating major permanent crops like fruit trees/HVCC with vegetables/roots crops, poultry and livestock and inland fishery for Municipality of Pola Socio Economic and Physical Profile Page 32 Socio Economic and Physical Profile Municipality of Pola, Oriental Mindoro Final Report sustainability. It is the intensification of cropping in time and space dimension. Through integrated farming, forage grasses were planted to serve as feeds for small and large ruminants. Farmers allow livestock to graze the land reducing labor cost on grass cutting, in turn the excreta of these animals serve as fertilizer for some crops. When livestock and crops attain a certain level of growth, they were marketed providing additional income for farmers. This practice is considered as sustainable agriculture aimed at meeting the needs of the present generation without endangering and damaging the resource base of the future generation. It is also known as organic or natural farming considered as low input but highly productive system. Organic matter like animals’ and plants wastes serve as the main source of fertilizer.

Table 5.1 shows that Pola produced 5,580.75 metric tons of Palay. Rice production performance in the municipality is satisfactory with an average productivity of 4.37 metric tons per hectare per annum. There are five major rice Municipality of Pola Socio Economic and Physical Profile Page 33 Socio Economic and Physical Profile Municipality of Pola, Oriental Mindoro Final Report producing barangays- Maluanluan, Casiligan, Biga, Pula and Panikihan representing 70 percent of the total irrigated areas, Most of the farmers in Pola practice semi-mechanized farming in the land preparation of rice field using carabao drawn plough and hand tractors. Trans planting of rice seedlings and harvesting are done manually. Post-harvest facilities are limited and palay drying in basketball courts, roads and vacant lots are common during harvest season. Permanent and High Value Crops (HVC) Approximately 11,733.61 hectares were devoted to permanent and High Value Crops (HVC). Of these, coconut occupied the biggest area equivalent to 47.76 percent followed by banana (22.91%), citrus (10.08%) and other high value crops – oranges, rambutan, lanzones, durian, mango and coffee 6.36%. (See also Table 5.1) For the year 2011, banana production is 26,875 metric tons, followed by coconut at 10,086.30 metric tons, citrus at 6,387 metric tons and other high value crops (HVC) at 746.29 (Please refer also to Table 5.1) The common methods of coconut harvesting and drying are still being practiced by the farmers in upland and lowland areas. Coconut is being harvested in practical ways through climbing and using bamboo pole with bladed gadgets. Copra drying is done either by flatbed smoking and sun drying. Harvesting of banana, citrus and high value crops are done manually with the aid of improvised bamboo ladders. Table 5.3 below shows the existing agricultural facilities in Pola.

In terms of provincial-wide large ruminant production, specifically carabao and cattle, Pola ranked 9th and 12th, respectively. Farmers are mostly raising native cattle. The Department of Agriculture (DA) Region IV Office has dispersed a few upgraded breeds of cattle but they were observed to be slow-growing. Production of cattle is predominant in Barangay Maluanluan while carabaos are almost evenly distributed in all barangays. Small ruminants raising is focused mainly on goat. Pola ranked 9th in 14 towns. Swine is chiefly produced in Barangays Bacawan, Bayanan, Malibago, Maluanluan and Matulatula 44% of total inventory. Immediate concerns are the prevalence of hog cholera and lack of funds for vaccination. The barangays with the most concentration of goats (>100 head) are Tagumpay, Puting Cacao and Tiguihan. A total 21,953 heads of chicken were produced in 2011, 47 percent of which were produced in Tagumpay, Bacawan, Pula, and Tagbakin.

With the increase in trading activity and number of population, the present market cannot fully accommodate new small and medium entrepreneurs. Local as well as transient traders used the streets and alleys with their makeshifts during Saturday, which is the market day, town fiesta and holiday seasons. Aside from these barangay talipapas (small market) sprouted in nearby areas for lack of space in the market. The situation greatly contributed to traffic congestion and consumers mobility. To address this problem, a new public market will soon be constructed at a proclaimed market site located at Kabilang Ibayo, Batuhan that can accommodate 50 stall holders. Municipality of Pola Socio Economic and Physical Profile Page 43 Socio Economic and Physical Profile Municipality of Pola, Oriental Mindoro Final Report 5.3 Industry At present there is no identified well established manufacturing and processing industries in the municipality except for three (3) cooperatives which processed citrus like Matulatula Agrarian Reform Cooperative, (MARCO) at Matulatua; canned fish for TIBAYAN Multipurpose Cooperative at Bayanan and Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) for CASEMPCO of Barangay Calima. There are also small processors of banana into banana chips at Barangay Tiguihan while others are engaged in Nipa Shingle making located at Batuhan, Panikihan, Malibago and Pula. The small and medium industries employed only few and their operations are sporadic in nature. These can be enhanced further to become a significant economic activity by providing essential technical, financial and marketing support as well as Small and Medium Enterprises Development (SMED) training programs. 5.4 Tourism At present the long stretch of Kabilang ibayo, Batuhan shoreline as well as the whole islet has been declared as Municipal Eco-Tourism Zone. There are around twelve (12) tourism establishments in the area which cater local tourist, however only four (4) among these establishments are operational due to limited visitors arrival. (Please refer to table 5.11) The municipality is also endowed with a number of white sand beaches mostly found on Barangay Tagumpay and Misong, waterfalls in the upland Barangays of Tagbakin, Tagumpay, Calima and Biga, historical assets in Poblacion and Bayanan and other scenic spots as well as vast track of mangrove areas which can be tapped as alternative tourist attractions. The Local Government is looking at the potential of tapping these areas for tourism development. At present, a Municipal Tourism Council has been organized with the help of the Provincial Tourism Office. There are around 110 recorded local visitors from the period 2009 to 2011 catered by local resort owners which employed a total of four personnel.

The Provincial Engineering Office maintained provincial roads with their mechanized units while the Municipal Government with four (4) dump trucks, one (1) pay loader and one (1) road grader providing support in the maintenance of rural roads. Limited funds for fuel, lubricants and repair cost hampered the costly operation of maintaining roads considering the specified length and terrain of each. 5.5.1.2 Mode of Transportation by Type The major access to the municipality is through the Pola-Socorro National Road going through the main road artery of Strong Republic Nautical Highway towards the Capital City of Calapan and Metro Manila via Roro and Ferry vessels. The SRNH served also as gateway to Visayan Provinces. The transport mode in this main thorough fare is dominated by public transportation (tricycles, motorcycles and several multi-cabs). Table 5.15 below shows the inventory of land transportation vehicles. Public utility vehicles comprise 0.62 percent while private vehicles (cars, jeepneys, multi-cabs) account for 6.24 percent. Motorcycles, which are utilized to reach the upland and far flung barangays, constitute 60.17 percent while tricycles and bicycles account for 16.63 and 15.08 percent respectively. Other vehicles are government transport with 1.102 percent.

This entails the opening and construction of additional roads and upgrading of existing provincial and barangay roads to a reliable all weather system as well as the conversion of all bridges into permanent structures. New bridges that will connect adjacent barangays shall also be constructed. Table 5.17 shows the present and projected road requirements based on the acceptable standard ratio. The projected rural road requirement will be based on the proposed land use plan. Using the standard for urban road requirement of 2.4 kilometers per 1,000 populations and rural road requirement of 1.5 kilometers per 100 hectares of arable/agricultural land, there is a significant inadequacy in the transport network. With a projected urban population of 1,133 for the current year, there should have been about 2.7192 kilometers of road for the urban area as compared with the existing 2.288 kilometers. On the other hand, with arable lands of 13,051.2941 hectares, there should have been about 195.77 kms of rural roads as compared to the existing 115.397 kilometers. Table 5.15 present the road requirement for the planning period.

It is essential to provide adequate transport facilities (e.g. establishment of tricycle terminals and development of wharf) to meet the needs of the increasing population, support economic development and improve access/circulation situation in the urban area. 5.5.2 Power Existing Power Supply Electric power supply is provided by Oriental Mindoro Electric Cooperative (ORMECO) with main office at Simaron, Calapan city. The electric cooperative was Municipality of Pola Socio Economic and Physical Profile Page 49 Socio Economic and Physical Profile Municipality of Pola, Oriental Mindoro Final Report established in 1973, under the auspices of the National Power Corporation, it also supplies power to the entire Province of Oriental Mindoro. The sources of power came from Diesel Power plant – 3.5 megawatts and 6.5 megawatts respectively, Paitan Mini Hydro provides 1.6 megawatts, and land base generator providing 6.1 megawatts. However, the maximum supply of current cannot be generated fully due to some mechanical trouble. Thus regular brownouts are scheduled by the cooperative management. The status of electrification as of June 2012 showed that all barangays of Pola have already been energized. The municipality has 6,445 potential house connections, as of December 2011, there were only about 4,342 listed members and 3,686 connections, breakdown as follows: domestic – 3,388; commercial – 180; Public Buildings – 98; Public streetlights – 18, others – 2.

These barangays, mainly located along the coastal areas and mountainous terrain are previously using batteries, kerosene and generators. 5.5.3. Water 5.5.3.1 Facilities The municipality is endowed with a number of springs that could be tapped as major sources of potable water. The Pola Water District (PWD) derives its water supply from three (3) spring systems located in Barangay Pahilahan which have an approximate total actual production of 604.8 cubic meters per day and one (1) deep well located at Barangay Bayanan with a total production of 259.20 cubic meters per day. Other potable water sources are combinations of individual and communal water system, deep wells, shallow wells, dug wells, spring and others. The municipality has a 150 cubic meter ground reservoir located at Barangay Pahilahan. Table 5.22 or inventory of water sources shows that 21 percent of total households are serviced by Level III systems (individual household connection). These are in Pahilahan, Zone I, Zone II, Batuhan, Bayanan and Panikihan. Majority of the household population have level I system, (52%) where water is sourced from natural springs being enclosed in spring boxes deposited in a reservoir and connected by distribution pipes with communal faucet.

It handles an average daily volume of 65 incoming and 30 outgoing mails. 5.5.4.2 Telecommunication There is no residential land based telephone system. The existing means of communication is through handheld radios and privately owned cellular phones. There are three (3) cell sites established by Smart Phil. Inc., Globe Telecom and Sun Cellular at Barangay Bayanan and Batuhan. There are still barangays with dead spots or no signal at all. The Municipal Community E Center is no longer functional which limits access to internet connections. Pola CATV and Broadband Network Services is the only local entity providing cable television signal in the urban area and adjacent barangays. The inadequacy in communication facilities has caused inefficiency in inter-government; inter- business and other private transactions.
