BARANGAY
PROFILE
A. HISTORY OF THE BARANGAY

B’laans were the first inhabitants of Barangay Buto. The name

BUTO was derived from the B’laan term which means “SAPA” or river.
This is attributed to the fact that there is a big river that runs through
the barangay proper. These inhabitants were formerly ruled by the
three “datus” namely, Datu Karaayo of El Barak, Datu Balawag of Elbon,
and Datu Hinuhay of Admol. The groups were already tilling the area by
way of “kaingin” when the migrants are starting to settle in the place.

In 1950, more settlers came and settled in the barangay. The

migrants were given 8 hectares each by the government to occupy and
cultivate. These settlers were composed of the group of Apolinario
Catig, Salavador Tabat, Teofilo Cano, Rojino Pertimos, Nicanor
Superficial, Sr., Isabelo Placigo, Eleuterio Cagape and Prino Dalagan.
During market days or the so-called “tabu-tabu” is the time that the
migrants could observe B’laans wearing malong, their native attire.
Some of the B’laans were living in the remote highlands while others are
in the plains near the settlements area.

In 1955, Buto became a sitio of the then Barangay Tampakan.

Puroks were started to be organized in 1960 and the Sitio Center was
known as Purok San Vicente.

During the years of 1968-1974 the population of the area started

to grow and a considerable number of children need to be educated.
The parents of the community built a temporary school under the house
of Mr. Democrito Tupas. Primary education became available to the

1
children of the then Sitio and the teachers were Mr. Romulo Flores and
the late Ms. Rosario Delfin. The people also selected Mr. Teofilo Cano as
their Sitio Leader.

Mr. Teofilo Cano was elected as the number 3 Barangay Kagawad

of Barangay Poblacion in 1985 and in June 21 of the following year, Sitio
Buto was created as a regular Barangay and he was appointed as the
Barangay Captain. The barangay was composed of Puroks San Jose (so-
called Sitio Taplan), San Agustin, San Roque and San Vicente, the
Barangay Proper. It has one Sitio which is Sitio Basak that is occupied
mostly of B’laans.

During the 1989 barangay elections, Hon. Escolastico Batiao, who

got the highest votes, became the Barangay Chairman. His Barangay
Kagawads were namely; Hon. Teofilo Cano, Hon. Venancio Entrina, Hon.
Violeta Superficial, Hon. Placido Perez, Hon. Florencio Niño, and Hon.
Pol Cia who resigned after six months in service and Mr. Gerry Guisan
was appointed to take his place. Mr. Francisco Batiao was appointed as
the Barangay Secretary and Mr. Apolinario Superficial as the Barangay
Treasurer.

During their term several infrastructure projects were constructed

such as the Barangay Multi-purpose Hall, Buto Day Care Center, Taplan
Multi-purpose Building and a bridge. Recreational facilities such as
Basketball Court and Temporary Stage were also constructed for the
social activities.

Hon. Escolastico Batiao was re-elected as Punong Barangay in the

1994 barangay elections. The Barangay Kagawads were Hon. Venancio
Entrina, Hon. Virgilio Superficial, Hon. Jose Batiao, Hon. Delfin Vecina,
Hon. Oliveros Palermo, Hon. Manuel Placigo, Hon. Suana Pandian and
Hon. Charmencito Azucena. The elected Sangguniang Kabataan
Chairwoman was Mylene Superficial and the Mr. Rolando Ayuban was
appointed as the Barangay Planning and Development Coordinator.

In 1997 barangay elections, Hon. Teofilo Cano was elected as the

Barangay Captain and the elected Barangay Kagawads were the
following:

 Hon. Restituto Miole;

 Hon. Edgar Echalar;
 Hon. Venancio Entrina;
 Hon. Benjamin Espiritu;

2
  Hon. Wilma Abaiz;
 Hon. Violeta Supeficial;
 Hon. Eleuterio Abaiz; and,
 Hon. Lito Franco was appointed to replace the deceased
Gregorio Tabaranza who had not fully served his term.

Ms. Adelina Ompad was appointed as the new Barangay Treasurer

and Ms. Rebecca Estorba as the Barangay Secretary. Hon. Roselle
Natividad was elected as the new SK Chairwoman.

From being a mere Sitio into a small barangay, Buto has grown
into one of the most productive agricultural areas of the municipality. It
became a top producer of crops like corn, rice, copra, papaya, banana
and many others. Livestock production began to increase providing
additional livelihood development opportunity to the community.

With the presence of foreign-assited projects, it has become one

of the progressive barangays of the municipality.

B. DEMOGRAPHY

1. Population Size, Growth and Trends

Historical data on population of the Barangay shows an

average decrease of about -0.62%.

2003 1,939 69 0.74%
2005 1,701 -238 -2.45%
Source: NSO/Household Profiling (MPDO)

Based on historical data on population, Barangay Buto has

an average annual growth rate of -0.12%. This is attributed to the
fact that most of the residents had transferred their residency to
nearby barangays for economic reasons and the unstable peace
and order situation in the past years. However, it has been noted
that during the years of 2000 to 2002 when the place is seemingly
peaceful and agriculturally productive, the residents go back to
the barangay. Hence, for this plan, the growth rate between
2000 and 2002 was considered and is computed to about 1.35%.

 As of the early part of 2006, Barangay Buto has 357 households
with a total household population of 1,701. Average household
size is about 5 per household. Purok San Vicente is the most
populated with 583 residents while Purok San Roque is the least
populated with 164 residents.

Planning and Development Office in 2005, the barangay has a
total population of 1,701. Its land area totals to 1,708.75
hectares or about 17.0875 square kilometers. Hence, its
population density is computed to about 100 persons per square
kilometer.

of Barangay Poblacion of Tampakan, South Cotabato. It is
bounded in the northwest by the City of Koronadal, in the
northeast by Barangays Palo and Danlag, in the southeast by
Barangays Pulabato and Liberty, and in the southwest by
Barangays Sta. Cruz and San Isidro, of Tampakan, South Cotabato.

It is composed of 1 sitio (Sitio Basak is the only Sitio

officially recognized by the barangay, Sitios Admol and Barak only
forms part of Basak) and 4 puroks. Only Sitio Basak is covered by
the Upland Development Programme. Its components
sitio/puroks are located at:

2. Purok San Jose - western part of the barangay
3. Purok San Vicente - barangay proper/center
4. Purok San Roque - northwestern part of the barangay
5. San Agustin - southwestern part of the barangay

However, the residents of Sitios Barak and Admol are now

permanently residing in Purok San Vicente, the barangay proper,
leaving only their farmhouses in the area. Hence, pertinent data
of Barak and Admol were included in Sitio Basak.

above sea level to 812 meters above sea level. As such, the
temperature is moderately cold and has not manifested very
pronounced dry and wet seasons. Based on the seasonality
diagram derived from the community participatory workshop,
Buto experiences the highest rainfall during the months of May to
September and the lowest rainfall is experienced during the
months of January to April.

6. Basic Soil Type

Based from the data from Bureau of Soil and Water

Management (BSWM), the soil in Barangay Buto is generally
composed of Nupol Sandy Loam with a land area of 1,245.00
hectares or about 72.86 of the barangay’s land area. It is
followed by Buluan Clay with a land area of 295.00 hectares,
Liberty Sandy Loam with 143.75 hectares and Koronadal Fine
Sandy Loam with 25.00 hectares.

7. Hydro-Geology

Barangay Buto is traversed by the Taplan River and the

Buto Creek from the higher slopes of the barangay. The water of
Buto Creek dries up during summer season.

Various springs are also sporadically found within the

barangay which have become the most viable sources of potable
water through improvised and installed water system projects.

Geologic structures of Barangay Buto is composed of only 2

types and are found out to be of volcanic origin. These are the
volcanic agglomerates and the pyroclastic materials that have
land areas of about 1,168.75 hectares and 540.00 hectares,
respectively.

8. Land Suitability

The barangay has a large portion that is suited for

agricultural production. About 34.03% of the barangay’s land area
or a total of 581.5354 hectares are suitable for cultivation without
special practices. A total of 426.1933 hectares are suitable for
cultivation with special practices. A considerable area of about

12
568.9943 hectares or about 33.30% of the barangay’s land area is
considered to be of not suitable for continuous cultivation. The
remaining 132.0270 hectares is not suitable for cultivation.

9. Erosion Hazard Areas

Erosions in the barangay are seem to be minimal and can

be observed in areas that have higher slopes, have loose soil and
the absence of vegetations. Patches of erosions are observed to
be concentrated in the areas of Sitio Basak where the slopes are
generally from hilly to mountainous and agricultural production is
massive.

Slopes greater than 18-30% that are cultivated without

application of complex practices such as contour farming and
absence of buffer areas are mostly affected by soil erosion. The
area that is eroded and vulnerable for erosions aggregates to a
total of 12.3195 hectares or about 0.62% of the barangay’s land
area. Furthermore, a total of 1.7361 hectares of mostly
agricultural productive areas had been affected by a landslide or
about 0.10% of the barangay’s land area.

10. Flooding Hazard Areas

There is no land depression observed in the barangay that

is vulnerable for flooding. However, the center of the barangay is
generally a valley surrounded by mountainous area where
vegetations are minimal and have slopes that ranges from 0-3%
and 3-8%, it is vulnerable to moderate and severe flooding. Being
traversed by Taplan River, Buto Creek and several irrigation
canals, flooding occurs during heavy rainfall.

Flooding are usually caused by the accelerated volume of

water from higher slopes that are hardly vegetated if not used for
production of shallow rooted crops such as banana, corn, and
gabi. Overflowing of Taplan River, Buto Creek and irrigation
canals during heavy rainfall are one of the causes also of flooding.
Estimated area within flooding hazard is about 7.2055 hectares.

11. Land Capability

Based on the data of Bureau of Soils and Water

Management, land capability data of Barangay Buto belongs to

13
 Class B and classified as crop lands suitable for most agricultural
crops and requires easily applied conservation practices. These
areas comprise about an area of 1,358.75 hectares and can be
cultivated with diversified crops and permanent crops. The
remaining 350.00 hectares is considered to be Class D and are
classified as fairly good land suitable for fruit trees, agro-forestry,
pasture and forest.

The barangay’s land area is utilized mostly for agricultural

purposes. It has a total of 1,283.4217 hectares or about 75.11% of
the barangay’s land area. Grassland/Brushland has an area of
240.3774 hectares, forestland aggregates to a total of 131.6346
hectares and occupied by secondary growth trees and production
forest and built-up/settlements areas total to an area of 41.4197
hectares and are mostly located within the lowland areas of the
barangay.

D. SECTORAL SITUATION

1. ECONOMIC SECTOR

1.1 FORESTRY SUB-SECTOR

The area of Barangay Buto is primarily utilized into

agricultural purposes. It has a wide expanse of grasslands largely
occupied by shrubs and grasses. Identified forest lands are
occupied by patches of forest trees and the production forest are
planted with bagrass, gemelina and palkata. Patches of Imelda

14
trees grow in the sloping portions of the barangay. These trees
are fast growing shrubs, self propagate through the rootstocks and
are difficult to eradicate. These shrubs help in the control of soil
erosion but hardly have economic value and are detriment to
other crops and trees in the utilization of soil and water.

Historical transect prepared by the community has

manifested degradation of natural resources. Forest resources
have been massively extracted by for housing needs of the
community leaving very few portions with secondary growth
forest of lawaan and other indigenous tree species.
Encroachment of migrants from other provinces of Leyte, Bohol
and from lowland communities of Tampakan caused massive
kaingin system that further degraded the once forested area of
Barangay Buto.

Upon the entry of UDP, and in cooperation with DENR,

parcelliary survey was conducted and tenurial instruments were
issued. Furthermore, large areas of the barangay were
Voluntarily Offered for Sale (VOS) by several land-owners and
were awarded to the farmer-tiller through the facilities of the
Department of Agrarian Reform. As of the conduct of the
Participatory Resource Appraisal (PRA) in the community, there
are 24 beneficiaries whose documents of ownership are still on
process, 15 landowners have their certificate of land title, there
are 41 beneficiaries of Voluntary Land Transfer and there are 20
recipients of Integrated Social Forestry (ISF) Contracts. This is
estimated to cover a total of about 291.00 hectares.

1.1.1 Production Forest

At an aggregate, there are about 26.00 hectares of

land utilized for agro-forestry. Majority of the trees
planted are gemelina, bagrass, palkata and fruit trees.
These areas utilized for production forest are not planted
in the higher elevation areas but in the lower portion of the
barangays. Most of these are located in Puroks San Jose,
San Agustin and San Vicente.

1.1.2 Protection Forest

Though, the barangay has no remaining densely

forest areas to be protected, the barangay council has

15
 approved an ordinance protecting the caves and the
surrounding areas of the springs. However, the trees
within the areas where the springs are located are still
being cut down and utilized for economic purposes such as
charcoal production.

1.2 AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES

1.2.1 CROP PRODUCTION

a. Production Areas

Based on the PRA result, about 1,044.75 hectares

are utilized for agricultural purposes and 118.23 hectares
of this are utilized for corn/rice production. However, GIS
computation showed a total agricultural areas of
1,283.4217 hectares and are occupied by mixed crops such
as corn, coconut, cassava, rice and banana. These
corn/rice production areas are continuously cultivated.

Some of these areas utilized for agricultural

purposes are located within the Diversified Farming System
Areas assisted by UDP. The DFS areas adopt the SALT-
based farming technology. There are 50 DFS areas assisted
by UDP and 50.0 hectares are maintained.

b. Major Crops Grown

Corn, rice, cassava, banana and coconut are the

major crops grown in the barangay. Corn has the widest
area planted at 104.23 hectares. It is followed by coconut

Planting and Harvest Seasons

Production pattern shows that planting seasons come

during the months of March to April, July to August and
November. Harvest seasons come during the months of
July to August, November to December and February the
following year. Corn is the major crop produced in the
area and coconut is the secondary crop. Rice is the major
source of staple food while corn and coconut is the
supplementary source of income.

Despite depletion of soil resources, corn production

is still preferred by many of the farmers. Income from corn
production has significantly reduced over years and farmers
have been incapable to cope with the cost of production.
Production financing from local traders were not paid in

18
each cropping season and has dragged the farmers to
indebtedness.

With the increasing debt of the farmers from local

traders, several farmers shifted their attention to other
crops such as banana and cassava as their alternative crops
and source of income.

Pest Infestation and Control

“Waya-waya” infestation, as observed to be

continuously infesting crops whole year round, has brought
great damages to crops before until it became controllable
by the previous year, 2005. Corn borers are very prevalent
during the months of May to June and slowly diminishing
until November. Corn borers can be observed only during
the time when the standing crops are succulent. Pest
control is largely dependent to petro-chemical based
pesticides or inorganic methods and production of crops
became expensive.

1.2.2 LIVESTOCK, POULTRYAND FISHERY PRODUCTION

Livestock and poultry within the barangay are mostly

backyard raising. Small livestock such as swine and goat
are also raised.

About 109 heads of chicken are raised as layers for

egg production while other chicken are raised primarily for
consumption and some are sold to augment income
households. Among the poultry raised are native chicken,
turkey, geese and ducks.

Swine production is also present in the barangay. A

total of 5 heads were raised for piglet production and were
bought by traders from neighboring barangays and even to
traders in General Santos City. Goats are also raised. Large
animals such as horses, carabaos and cattles are mostly
raised as working animals.

With the rehabilitation and expansion of irrigation

canals and eventual turn-over of its management to TISDA
in the later months of 2005, several farmers had gone into
fishery production to sustain the food requirements of their
households. Fish production is limited only for
consumption and not into commercial purposes since the
areas were newly established.

1.2.3 OTHER LIVELIHOOD SOURCES

There are 363 persons or about 69.67% dependent to

agriculture for subsistence. Other major sources of income are
business, employment, carpentry, storekeeping, house-help and
driver where farm laboring/harvesting serves as the second major
source of income. While others opted to work abroad.

1.2.4 TIME UTILIZATION PATTERN

Though, assumed primarily by women with the assistance

of the youth, results of the work division matrix showed that
household activities were almost shared equally by both the
parents of the family. Men are mainly into economic activities of
which majority are into farming. Women provide the assistance
as farm hands. Socio-cultural activities are being participated by
all members of the household. Elderly are mostly involved in the
activities of senior citizens and some affairs of the barangay.

1.2.5 INCOME AND EXPENDITURE PATTERNS

Despite the high net income that can be derived from

major crops, income levels of farmers are still low due to low
productivity. High cost of farm financing and low buying price of
agricultural products further resulted to low economic returns for
farmers. Family Data Survey of 2005 shows that estimated the
average income per is about P2,084.95 per month. The poverty
situation is still prevalent that some of the residents had migrated

21
 to other areas for economic opportunities thus resulting to
reduced number of population during the previous years.

Seasonality of income shows that the income level of the

community is highly influenced by the seasonality of production.
Highest level of income comes during harvest seasons that occur
during the months of June, July, August, September, November
and December. Lowest income level comes during the months of
January, February, March & May. A majority of 188 households or
about 52.66% are within the monthly income range of below
P2,500 to P1,000, 78 households or about 21.85% have income
within the range of below P1,000, 66 households or about 18.49%
are within income level of P2,000to below P5,000 and 25
households or about 7.00% have monthly income of more than
P5,000. Average annual income is about P25,019.40 or P2,084.95
per month.

Expenditure patterns show that peak seasons for

expenditures are during the months of March, April, June, August,
October, November and December. Annually, the major
contributors to expenditures are food, farming, fare/fuel and
education. Other top ten expenditures are clothing, fiesta,
cigarette and beverages (includes tuba, beer, alcoholic drinks and
soft drinks).

Expenditures during the month of March, June and October

are largely on food, education and fare/fuel. It is clearly
observed that these expenditures are related to commencement
exercises and opening of classes among educational institutions.

22
 Expenses on March, April, August and December are in
celebration of the community’s festivities and Christmas season.
Toys and gifts are among the subject of expenditures during
Christmas season.

January, April, August and November are the peak season

for tending their farms. As a result, expenses during these
months are brought about by the farming activities.

Consequently, debt patterns show that higher debts are

incurred during the months when expenditures are high,
specifically during opening and closing of classes and when there
are festivities.

1.2.6 AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTION AND POST HARVEST

IMPLEMENTS, TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, DRAFT ANIMALS AND FACILITIES

Tractors are utilized only in the plain areas of the

baragays, specifically in Puroks San Jose and part of San Agustin.
Most of the farm tools and implements are plow, harrow, bolos,

23
shovel, pick mattock, sprayers and other farm tools. The Upland
Development Programme provided some of these tools and
implements. Based on the Household Profiling, the community
has 876 bolos, 166 shovels, 37 pick mattock, 115 sickles, 47
sprayers, 116 plows and 48 harrows. Available working animals
are 109 carabaos, 15 cows and 20 horses.

Those that do not own some of the needed tools,

implements and draft animals either borrow or rent from
neighboring farmers.

Available post harvest facilities are 1 unit thresher, 1 unit rice

mill and 17 units solar dryer.

1.2.7 FARM INPUTS AND PLANTING MATERIALS

The production areas are owned mostly by one family who

also financed their area. Other farmers avail their farm inputs
from local traders in Barangay Poblacion. Most of the farm inputs
are taken on credit and paid during harvest season. The UDP also
provided initial farm inputs as support to the food production,
Diversified Farming System (DFS) and agro-forestry. This support
was during their early period of project implementation, done in
a one-shot-deal and were not replenished for possible re-flow to
the next production cycle. Thus, initial assistance for the farm
inputs failed to achieve continuity in the food production.

Quality planting materials for fruit trees are available in

the nurseries in Barangay Poblacion. Banana planting materials
are available in the barangay and were utilized by the farmers.
Hybrid corn seeds were availed from the local traders in Poblacion
and taken on credit paid during harvest season.

1.2.8 FARM LABOR REQUIREMENTS

Enough farm labors are available in the barangay. A total

of 1,052 are within the age range of 15-64 years old or about
61.85% of the total population. Most of these labor forces are
into agricultural production and need to be provided with enough
technology on proper agricultural production.

24
1.3 AGRARIAN SECTOR

LAND TENURE

Based from the records of the Department of Agrarian

Reform (DAR), large areas of the barangay are Voluntarily Offered
for Sale (VOS) and in Voluntary Land Transfer (VLT) status. A
total of 54 individuals are recipient of VLT covering a total area of
72.2435 hectares.

24 individuals are recipient of the 40.7637 hectares which

is in the process of VOS. Despite the fact that this has made the
barangay to qualify to avail of the Agrarian Reform Community
(ARC) projects in the barangay, a number of these beneficiaries
are not able to get hold of the documents.

1.4 TRADE AND COMMERCE SUB-SECTOR

1.4.1 TYPES OF ESTABLISHMENTS

Trade and commerce establishments are limited to

small sari-sari stores, fish vending and buy and sell of
agricultural products. There are 28 sari-sari stores with
capitalization of less than P100,000.00. About 39.29% of
these sari-sari stores have less than P25,000.00 capital and
about 10.71% have capitalization of less than P10,000.00
and all of these sari-sari stores are into retail of basic
commodities.

There are 4 establishments that are into buy and sell

of agricultural products and 3 individuals are into fish
vending.

25
1.4.2 GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF ESTABLISHMENTS

Majority of the sari-sari or retail stores which are

about 35.71% of the total business establishments are
located in Purok San Vicente, the Barangay Proper. All of
the buy and sells and the sole vendor of fish are located
also in Barangay Proper.

1.4.3 TRADE SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES

Currently, the barangay has no designated public

market and public terminal. The tricycles plying the route
from and to the barangay to Poblacion of Tampakan, fetch
and deliver passengers and cargoes up to Purok San Vicente
only. Only a portion of Sitio Basak is accessible by four-
wheel vehicle but the passengers and cargoes in the sitio
are served only by transportation on a special trip basis.

Communication facility purposely to access market

information is not available. Market information within the
barangay is facilitated through direct contact with buyers
of local traders

1.4.4 COMMODITY FLOW AND MARKETING COSTS

a. Supply of Basic Commodities and Farm Inputs

Basic commodities and farm inputs are

sourced/supplied mostly from Barangay Poblacion. Traders
in the barangay could only provide minimal financing to
farmers. Cost on transporting their goods from Poblacion
ranges from P15.00 to P20.00 per sack. Passengers fare to

26
Poblacion amounts to P15.00 per head and an additional of
P16.00 going to Koronadal City.

b. Marketing of Agricultural Products

The production areas are spread to the different

sitio and puroks of the barangay. The livelihood flow chart
shows that most of the products are sold to the traders in
Poblacion and within the barangay who finances their farm.
Local buyer comes to purchase banana for shipment to
Manila. Some of the bananas are sold to other
municipalities of South Cotabato like Koronadal City.

Transportation of products from most of the

production areas to sitio centers is through undeveloped
trails using manual labor, farm animals and animal drawn
carts and sledges. Labor costs of hauling the products from
farm to their houses/driers ranges from P15.00 to P20.00
per sack depending on the distance of the farm. The
farther the farm from the farm to its destination, the
higher the cost of transport.

Transportation to and from Sitio Basak and Barangay Proper

are available only in special trip bases and most parts of these
areas are inaccessible to vehicles. Most of the production areas
are not accessible to any motor vehicle and mode of transport is
through manual labor and draft animals. Puroks San Jose, San
Roque, San Agustin and San Vicente are accessible by 4-wheel
vehicle but the available transportation in the barangay is
tricycle. Source: LUB-BDP PRA

areas is through the barangay road. This road is approximately
lying within 5-10 meters from the area which is continually
eroding. Mode of transportation from the Barangay Center to
market is tricycle and privately- owned hauling trucks.

Source: LUB-BDP PRA

Livestock and poultry are usually bought at the barangay

level by the middlemen at reasonable prices. Some of the
livestock such as pigs, goats and cattle are butchered for meat
and are consequently sold within the barangay.

The livelihood flow chart further shows that other farm

products such as corn and copra, are sold in cobs or in whole that
gives low farm proceeds.

1.5 INDUSTRY SUB-SECTOR

There is no industrial establishment or plantations within

the barangay. Household level processing of cassava or rice into
food items is occasionally done by some women to augment family
income but the volume is very limited since most of these
products are sold unprocessed.

For the past 5 years, there is no incidence of epidemic, an

indication of active health interventions in arresting disease
incidence in the barangay. Water supply is declared potable but
the possibility of water contamination is high since there are
multiple leakages due to illegal tapping. Such must be given
attention to prevent future water related health problems.

2.1.2 Health Facilities and Equipment

The Barangay Health Station caters to the primary health

services within Barangay Buto. The barangay has a permanent
structure of barangay health station finance through the
Australian Aid and among the well-constructed and best equipped
health stations within the municipality.

The building has one room as the office of the assigned

midwife, spaces for the delivery area, kitchen and consultation
and receiving areas. The barangay Health Station is also equipped
with information materials on spot map, health status, basic
information about diseases preventive and curative methods and
herbal treatments of diseases. Posters, graphs and maps of these
information materials are posted at conspicuous spaces within and
outside the Barangay Heath Station. The pamphlets and flyers are
compiled at the information racks and are made available for
clients.

2.1.3 Health Services

Primary health care services available at the barangay

health station are maternal and child care, immunization for
children and infants, Blood Pressure, check-up for children, adults
and elders as well, operation timbang, Garantisadong Pambata,
Deworming, Chlorination, Pre-natal Services, Salt testing, Family
Planning, Nutrition, and Food Supplements for malnourished
children.

31
 The Rural health Midwife also provides maternal delivery
services both for walk-in clients and home services. The Barangay
Health Workers and the Barangay Nutrition Scholars conducts the
updating of health data, monitor health situation, operation
timbang, garantisadong pambata, supplemental feeding, assists
the Rural Health Midwife on maternal and child care and in
implementation of family planning methods.

The barangay council has no annual allocation from its

annual budget for the medicines. Hence, the needs for over-the-
counter medicines at the Health Station are dependent to the
subsidy from the Local Government of Tampakan. Use of herbal
medicines is also promoted within the barangay.

Other medical services and dental services are directly

catered by the personnel from the municipal health station who
occasionally visits the barangay or on agreed schedules

2.1.4 Health Personnel and Volunteers

The Rural Health Midwife mans the Barangay Health Station

and reports to the station from Tuesday – Friday. The Rural
Health Midwife is assisted by 5 BHW, 1 BNS, and 2 BSIs in catering
to the primary health needs of the barangay constituents. The
BHWs, BNS, BSIs, serve the community on a voluntary basis.
Health services that cannot be addressed by the level are referred
to the municipal health station where there is 1 doctor, 2 nurses,
and other personnel at the barangay; 2 midwives, 1 dentist, 1
dental aide, 1 medical technologist, 1 municipal sanitary
inspector and office clerk.

The Rural Health Midwife receives remuneration from the

Local Government of Tampakan while the volunteer workers
receive honorarium from the Local Government of Buto. 3 of the
Barangay Health Workers receive additional honoraria from the
Local Government of Tampakan and from the Provincial
Government.

2.1.5 Water Consumption Flow Chart

About 184 households (51.1%) have access to level 1, also

19 households (5.3%) have access to level II, 153 households
(42.5%) using level III and 4 households using doubtful source. The

32
 developed spring is located at Admol, it has an estimated
discharge of 8 liters per minute. Water utilization is computed to
the following type of usage per day: 591 galloons for drinking, 985
galloons for cooking and 1,970 galloons for washing. The water
maybe contaminated due to multiple leakages caused by illegal
tapping.

2.1.6 Sanitation

There are 315 households or 87.5% of the total households

have sanitary toilets while there are 45 households or 2.5% with
no toilet. The households with no toilets are disposing their
excreta indiscrimately despite the massive campaign of barangay
sanitary inspectors to construct water sealed toilets.

Solid wastes coming from the different sources are not

segregated and are disposed using the combination of burning and
open pit, dumping and burning, and open and composting. About
46 households or 12.8% dispose their solid wastes through open
pit, 38 households or 10.5% practice composting within the
vicinity of their respective lots, and 30 households or 8.3% of the
total households dispose their garbage indiscriminately, the rest
are burning. They are encouraged by their health personnel in the
barangay to practice segregation of solid wastes.

2.2. Education

2.2.1 Status of Enrollment (SY 2005-2006)

a. Pre-school

The barangay has 2 Day Care Centers, strategically located

in Purok San Vicente and Purok San Jose where most of the
populace are located. Barangay Buto Day Care Center has 14
enrollees with 3 drop-outs in school year 2005-2006. Taplan Day
Care center has 18 enrollees with 3 drop-outs in school year 2005-
2006 serving not only the pre-schoolers of the barangay but also
of Barangay San Isidro since it is located within the boundary.
The Baptist Church of Barangay Proper has 16 enrollees with the
highest drop-out of 5. At an aggregate, there remained 37 pre-
school children in day care centers.

Demographic data of the barangay shows that population

within the age bracket of 5-9 years old are 166 children. By
interpolation, there are about 2/5 of the age bracket population
within the day care age range of 5-6. Thus, out of the 166
population within the age bracket of 5-9, the pre-school
population is estimated at 66 children. Estimated percentage of
children attending day care services is about 56.06% of the total
pre-school age population.

b. Primary & Elementary School

Taplan Elementary School is the only primary and elementary

school available within the barangay. There are 401 enrollees in
school year 2005-2006 with 6 drop-outs. In 2006-2007, the
number of enrollees had decreased to 376 with no drop-out. On
the average there are about 66-67 pupils per grade level from
grade 1 to grade 6 in school year 2005-2006 and 62-62 pupils per
grade in school year 2006-2007.

 By interpolation, about 3/5 of the total population at age
bracket 5-9 and 3/5 of the total population at age bracket 10-14
are the estimated population for the primary to elementary
school age of 7-12 years old. Hence, there are about 275 children
in Buto who are within the primary to elementary school age
bracket of 7-12 years old. Estimated percentage of primary and
elementary school age children who are able to avail of the
primary and elementary school services is more than 100% of the
total age population within 7-12 years old age bracket of the
barangay. It could be noticed that the school is situated within
the populated area of Barangay Buto and San Isidro with proximity
also to Barangay Sta. Cruz. Thus, it is safe to say that some of
these enrollees are from its neighboring barangays.

2.2.2 Status of Buildings, Classrooms and other Facilities

a. Pre-school

Each of the day care centers in Puroks San Jose and San
Vicente has one classroom. Buto Day Care Center is made of
concrete materials. The building of Taplan Day Care Center is half
concrete while the building of Baptist Extension Ministry is semi-
concrete.

The amenities/facilities available to public day care

centers are limited to chairs, tables and blackboards. The private
day care differed only for having textbooks used for teaching
instructions.

protection within the perimeter areas of the spring.

There is only one creek that passes through Sitio Admol,

Basak, San Vicente, San Roque. The creek overflows during rainy
season, during heavy rainfall, crops, houses and animals near the
creek are affected by the flood. The riverbanks of the creek are
vegetated by Imelda trees and grasses.

Taplan River is the main source of water for agricultural

crops especially the irrigated rice fields. Portion of Taplan River
is already silted and the waterway has widened due to continuing
landslides along the banks of the river due to heavy rainfall and
heavy volume water. The landslide has affected a large portion
of cornland and coconuts. The landslide is already within 5-10
meters away from the main road of the barangay.

Creeks are mostly used for drinking and bathing of animals

while undeveloped springs are used for potable water and other
domestic uses.

Riparian zones are still utilized as housing area and

agricultural purposes. Riverbank protection is very least.

There is a 3-hectare titled land located near the Taplan

River which is planted with bamboos with existing contract with
the Global Fruits Corporation to produce poles for the banana
plantations.
