However, poor relations between community and police can leap to feelings of
distrust, anger and fear.
Good Police Community Relation (PCR) prevent the possibility that the public
thinks that police are simply a mechanism for intelligence collection.

II. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose
As stipulated in the Declaration of Policy and Principles of RA 8551, known as PNP
Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998 as amended by Amending RA 6975, says that the
Philippine National Police (PNP) shall be a community and service-oriented agency
responsible for the maintenance of peace and order and public safety.
On the other related Act under Sec. 2 of RA 6975, it is the policy of the State to
promote peace and order, ensure public safety, and further strengthen local government
capability aimed towards the effective delivery of the basic services to the citizenry through
the establishment of a highly efficient and competent police force that is national in scope
and civilian in character.
The foregoing legal bases, provide all personnel of Philippine National Police and
concerned stakeholders are given clear guidelines and mandates to carry out plans and
programs with the common goal of promoting peace and order-the basic services that
must be served to the community.
It must be understood further that policemen are also part of the community that
could in a way serve as a bridge between the national agencies and the community.
Policemen are the extended arm of the government that delivers basic services. When this
concept bridge is connected, surely peace is attained especially to those places that are
susceptible to enemy intrusions.
Fruits of these programs are the CSOP, E-CLIPS, BARANGAYANIHAN of the AFP,
and PNP. In these programs, the government’s responses to the needs of the community
are immediately delivered and problems are immediately answered.
Interestingly, the concluded community immersion conducted by the PSJLC CLASS
2021-01 Bravo synergized all concern agencies' efforts in the City of Puerto Princesa,
Palawan. The class consolidated all the necessary services that the Brgy Macarascas, the
selected recipient, had been asking from their local government.
1
The five-day activity, although a very short time, has been very fruitful. The most
important tasking were carefully filtered to come up with the most needed services and
assistance that the community needs.
B. Scope
The scope of this study covers the Area of Responsibility (AOR) of the of Barangay
Macarascas, about ninety three (93) minutes away from the town proper. People usually
travel by means of Four wheels, motorcycle, tricycle and bicycle. Barangay Macarascas
was divided into four (7) Purok namely: Purok Matahimik, Purok Bagong Pag -asa, Purok
Masagana ,Purok Masaya,Purok Bagong Sikat, Purok Maligaya and Purok Mandaragat.
Purok Matahimik -One of the existing
Community based and potential eco
tourism which have continued to attract
eco tourists in the City was located in
Purok Matahimik which is described as a
“island that isn’t an island,” but is
actually a small territory surrounded by
water that gives the impression of being
an island.The magical island is only 500
square meters in size and is bounded by
1
Purok Mandaragat- has a widest foreshore area and suitable for fish sanctuary because of
the extensive Mangrove Forest. In this area, fishery is the main source of income for fishery
products, brackish water fish such as Kalapato is the main catch. Most people in Barangay sell their
products in Puerto Princessa City, since land access can be easily made by commercial-based
Jeepney from these area to the City.
C. History

1947.He returned to Boracay,Malay Aklan and after one year he went back to Palawan
together with his famili with the help of Gov. Alferdo Abueg Sr. Around the year of
December 1950,the conducted survey along with the district Forester Mr. Gavino Neontillo.
The pioneering residents allocated 24 hectares for Barrio Site, On October 24, 1954 and

1959.The first opening of Macarascas Elementary School was on 1969 and the Barrio Hall
or known “tribunal” served as school building. On 2004,the connection of
1
electricity,telephone company and other modern technology started to operate on this
barangay. Barangay Macarascas has a land area of 2,871.34 hectares. The word
Macarascas is a result call to the sound of birds chirping,bknowing that the area is home to
a large number of different species of birds since then it has been used to be called.
D. General Data
1. Population
Macarascas is a barangay in the city of Puerto Princesa .One among sixty six (66)
Barangays in Puerto Princesa which is situated close to the
villages Buenavista and Salvacion. Its population as determined by the 2020 Census
was 1,715.According to the data of Bgy. As of 2023 the total population was 2,111.This
represented 0.56% of the total population of Puerto Princesa and a total land area of
2,871.34 hectares/ 18.60 km² Area which 2/3 of the total area is an Agricultural land and
1/3 is foreshore land.
2. Location
Macarascas is situated at
approximately 10.0187, 118.7955,
(10° 1' North, 118° 48' East in the
island of Palawan. Elevation at these
coordinates is estimated at 16.6
meters or 54.5 feet above mean sea
level.
3. Topography
a. Climate
Barangay Macrascas is under Puerto Princesa City which features
a tropical wet and dry climate (Köppen climate classification ). It is usually wet from May
to December and with very little rain from January to April. Average temperature is
27.43 °C (81.37 °F) while the annual average rainfall is 1,563.8 millimetres (61.57 in)
per year. It is warm and humid all year round. Climate is favorable for vegetation
1
throughout the year under the Type III climate type, with relative humidity at
81%. The average temperature ranges from 22.9 to 33.7 degree Celsius and
the fairly humidity is 85.67%. However, based on the climate projections of
PAG-ASA, the city will experience an increase in minimum temperature by
2011 to 2040 for all seasons.
Climate Impact
Tropical savanna climate or tropical wet and dry climate is a tropical climate sub-type that
corresponds to the Köppen climate classification categories Aw (for a dry "winter") and As (for a dry
"summer"). The driest month has less than 60 mm (2.4 in) of precipitation and also less than mm of
precipitation. This latter fact is in a direct contrast to a tropical monsoon climate, whose driest month
sees less than 60 mm (2.4 in) of precipitation but has more than of precipitation. In essence, a tropical
savanna climate tends to either see less overall rainfall than a tropical monsoon climate or have more
pronounced dry season(s).
In tropical savanna climates, the dry season can become severe, and often drought conditions prevail
during the course of the year. Tropical savanna climates often feature tree-studded grasslands due to
its dryness, rather than thick jungle. It is this widespread occurrence of tall, coarse grass (called
savanna) which has led to Aw and As climates often being referred to as the tropical savanna.
However, there is some doubt whether tropical grasslands are climatically induced. Additionally, pure
savannas, without trees, are the exception rather than the rule.

a. Stability of Governance
Macarascas is a barangay in the city of Puerto Princesa, City. Jane C.
Villarin as the Barangay Chairperson wholeheartedly perform their mandated duties
and responsibilities at the community level by maintaining public order, enforcing
laws and ordinances, and by promoting the general welfare of the community, among
others. Barangay officials are heavily-relied upon by their constituents at the
grassroots level. Viewed as village elders, they also work informally with a number of
organizations. The non-involvement of barangay officials in illegal activities
prioritizing the general welfare of the barangay and its inhabitants is their gain.
1
Government Code of 1991) The barangay justice system, the laws and ordinances in
the area helps in the fight against crime and in the protection of general safety in the
community. In addition, it will fill the current police force with major security and
police operations in line with the policy of the PNP. Moreover, the Barangay adopted
s Laws and Ordinances of the City Government of Calapan:
Republic Act 7611 Implementation of Legal Systems on the Mangrove Use
City Ordinance No. 993 An Ordinance Regulating the Utilization of Single
Use Plastic and Polysterine Foam

sales receipts. A barangay can also collect income from the following: • Service fees or charges for
the use of barangay property or facilities; • Barangay clearance fees; • Fees or charges for the
commercial breeding of fighting cocks and on cockpits and cockfights; • Fees or charges on places of

e. Unemployment
1
The unemployment problem in Barangay Macarascas could be solve immediately
solved because there are many available ways to earn money such as fishing and farming.
To address the unemployment , it is essential to increase production in the
agriculture and industrial sectors.
ECONOMIC FACTOR

c. Public Works/Transport
Barangay Bondoc has no terminal or ports of public conveyances in the
area thus, authorities are not confronted with issues of congestion and poor road
condition. As a result, it does not add to traffic situation in the country making us
with the worst traffic situation among six Asian countries, and it ranked ninth worst
in the world according to Numbeo’s 2020 traffic report. However, the existence of
ports and public conveyances in the City will be served as gateways not only to
ensure barangay economic stability but also to generate and accelerate economic
growth and to promote employment opportunities. Moreover, public works/transport
helps in maintaining internal peace and unity of a community if there’s any.
d. Others
Only one Filipina is married to Bruno Buguini, 63 years old, a Swiss
French National who is an electrical engineer and presently residing at Sitio Itaas.
They help the community by providing and selling potable water.
1
IV. SOCIAL FACTOR
Social problems are general factors that affect and damage the community
often involve problem that influence real life. Some of the social problems and issues
in the barangay are drunkenness and illegal gambling (tupada). Also, some of the
basic concerns includes the cultural trends, demographics, populations, local customs
and traditions (religious beliefs, marriage/wedding, fiesta, etc.).
1. Population Structure
a. Population by Sitio
As previously discussed, Barangay Bondoc consist of 140 Families with
614 total population subdivided into three sitios: Sitio Ibaba has a total population
of 472 or 76.87%; Sitio Centro has a total population of 124 or 20.20%; and Sitio
Itaas has a total population of 18 or 2.9% of total population.
Number of
Sitio Population
Family
Sitio Centro 25 124
1
Sitio Itaas 6 18
Sitio Ibaba 109 472
TOTAL 140 614
The computed Age Dependency Ratios mean that among the population
of Barangay Bondoc, there are 5 youth dependents to every 10 of the working
age population; there are 1 aged/senior citizen to every 10 of the working
population; and overall, there are 6 dependents (young and old-age) to every 10
of the working population.
c. Population Growth
1
The population of Bondoc grew from 142 in 1990 to 416 in 2015, an
increase of 274 people. The latest census figures in 2015 denote a positive
growth rate of 15.52%, or an increase of 221 people, from the previous
population of 195 in 2010.
2. Education
Barangay Bondoc does not have any public or private school in the
community that hampers the children/youth to go to formal school where he/she
wants. Many poor families unable to finance and send their children to the schools
outside the barangay. The reason why Out of School Youth (OSY) happens that
forces a child/youth to work early that they shouldn’t be.
1
- Most people served are - It can create a system of
children and elders abuse
- Helps reduce crime - Can create a pattern of
- It is often limited dependence
- Did not address the root
cause of poverty
- It creates social cliques
4. Public Health
Non-existence of both private and public hospitals/clinics in the barangay
posed financial risk for the community especially the poor, marginalized and
vulnerable. However, Barangay Bondoc produced four trained Barangay Health
Works (BHWs) who render primary care services such as first aid, maternal,
neonatal, and community-based interventions including immunization and one
Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) who identify and lobby for the care of the
malnourished children, and help engage the community to act on nutrition related
concerns.
To sustain the long-term fight against coronavirus the Barangay Task Force
on COVID-19 and all barangay officials adopted a measure to promote health and
safety, maintain peace and order and to preserve the comfort and convenience of
the barangay inhabitants during public health emergency. Moreover, the task force
and barangay officials are more proactive in the enforcement of minimum health
protocols. Therefore, police and other Law Enforcement forces has a bigger chance
of slimming policing in the community and allowing them to concentrate in crime
hotspots.
1
5. Religious Beliefs and Sects
The Philippines boasts to be
the only Christian nation in Asia but
despite as being known as a
catholic country, it has many religion
sectors in the entire region. Thus,
majority of the Barangay Bondoc’s
population is Roman Catholic and
Saint Fatima Chapel, Barangay Bondoc, Calapan City
others belong to Muslim
denomination. Hence, both sects
have place of worship located in
Sitio Ibaba while the latter was
constructed thru the initiative of a
former PNP member, PO3 Renante
A Antonio (Ret.), a Muslim.
Likewise, Muslims from nearby
barangays celebrate their mass to
this place of worship. After all, religion can provide social coherence with people
sharing common aims, values and moral systems.
7. Social Problems
1
- Drug situation
The negative consequences of drug abuse affect not only individuals
who abuse drugs but also their families and friends, various business and
government resources. Thus, it is the paramount concern of the government to
maintain peace and order nationwide and to effectively curb the proliferation of
dangerous drugs. The government with the help of the PNP shall pursue
intensified campaign against illegal drugs and shall endeavor to secure the
assistance of the LGUs in drug clearing operations.
Further, Chapter IV, Section 39, Paragraph 20 of R.A. No. 7160 or the
Local Government Code of the Philippines mandates that barangay shall adopt
measures towards the prevention and eradication of drug abuse. Undoubtedly,
Barangay Bondoc complies. Furthermore, following memorandum Circular No.
2015-063 of the DILG, the creation of Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council
(BADAC), Barangay Bondoc was given a certificate of Drug-Cleared Barangay
by the Regional Oversight Committee on Barangay Drug Clearing Operation
(ROC BDCO) pursuant to Dangerous Drug Board Regulation No. 3, Series of
2017. (See Annex “d”)
1
Besides, there’s one PNP retired personnel in the area in the person of PO3
Renante A Antonio (Ret.)
V. TECHNOLOGICAL FACTOR
It might be unclear how technological factors can directly affect a certain area
like the Barangay Bondoc, unless you take a step back and look at all the innovations
in technology that may affect the operations of the barangay and industries/business.
Sadly, Barangay Bondoc has no better telecommunication facilities like telephone,
telegraph, communication satellite, etc. The only means of communication is through
cellular phone with limited or poor signal range that might troubles on how it delivers
its services and even its markets. Technology hugely pictures the way many things are
done.
1
VI. ENVIRONMENT FACTOR
This factor includes all those that influence or are determined by the
surrounding environment. This aspect is not limited to tourism influx, local products,
agriculture output, waste disposal, energy consumption, pollution monitoring,
consumers’ buying habits, increasing number of factories.
1
a. Tourism Influx
Influx of tourism in the
barangay particularly in Camp
Wagi located at Sitio Itaas of
Barangay Bondoc significantly
can help inject much needed
cash into the local economy.
The barangay has been strictly
implementing rules and
regulations and expecting tourist and even the locals to follow:
Rules to prevent the place from becoming a garbage dump;
Vehicles should be left at designated parking area or drop off point;
Establishments must follow the standard pricing for accommodation;
Do not disturb mass in the church; and
Tourists are encouraged to bring their own refillable water tumblers and
discouraged from using plastic bottles
b. Local Product
Buying local products
negates colonial mentality.
Patronizing local products of the
Barangay Bondoc like banana,
coconut, citrus fruits and
vegetables is one simple way
that every Filipino could do,
showing love for the country.
Having a mindset that proudly local/pinoy products are will always be the best.
c. Agriculture output
In terms of agriculture output, wild boar (native pig) and native chicken are
the main product of the barangay.
1
The barangay council are always aware of emergencies that may occur in
the barangay. Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management (BDRRM) knows
the number of beneficiaries and also the number of supplies for the needs of the
possible victims.
1
This factor takes a closer look on the barangay unit, the crime and security
environment and other issues and concerns that may affect the peace and order
situation in the area. Maintaining law and order means making sure everyone
follows the law, including the cops. Hence, making sure that society run smoothly,
with little conflict, with known expectations that get properly fulfilled, with known
social roles with everyone doing their part and have respect for others’ rights.
Besides, law and order is an essential ingredient in boosting and maintaining the
barangay’s economic development and political stability. Also, it facilitates the
growth of investments, generates more employment opportunities and attracts more
tourists.
a. Government Unit
For a small unit of government like Barangay Bondoc, the barangay
structure is likewise not a simple one, it has an elected Punong Barangay, a
Sangguniang Barangay consisting of seven elected members and the SK
Chairperson and a separate appointive secretary and treasurer. (See Annex “j”)
c. Security Environment
1
Hatred is the primary tool of communist terrorists in pushing for change
and the kind of revolution they want. As a result of our area study, poverty is not
the root cause, it is among the issues being exploited to general public.
For instance, the CNN is using every opportunity brought by the ongoing
coronavirus disease to generate and stir hatred against the government for even
the slightest error in its response. Through verification from RID, PRO
MIMAROPA, Barangay Bondoc is insurgency cleared. (See Annex “e”) After all,
the barangay rest assured of their active support to the PNP and NTF-ELCAC
development programs.
d. Crime Environment
A peaceful community like the Barangay Bondoc allows for efficiency and
productivity to flourish. With these, a peaceful barangay provides the inhabitants
many benefits such as:
Peace of mind
Positive energy
Stress relief
Better focus
Motivation
Relax body
Better sleep
According to records from the Barangay and PNP CIRAS the Barangay
Bondoc has zero crime rate as of this date.

III EXPLOITED/EXPLOITABLE ISSUES
Primary Issue Taradungan Bridge It's been five years after the typhoon that destroyed the
TaradunganBridgelocated in Purok 1, Barangay Taradungan, Roxas Palawan.The said bridgeconnectsfrom
the center of the barangay to its three (3) sitios and two other nearby barangays. According to Hon.
Miguelito C. Cabate, Barangay Chairman, on the year 2013allegedly during the impact of Typhoon Yolanda
and Surayda the bridgewasdestroyed and with the help of the Provincial Government it was repaired again.
But in the year 2015, some part of the bridge was again damagedandapparently it is no longer safe to use
as of this day. In the meantime, the barangay wishes that the Provincial Government will act to address the
problem and lead to the construction of a stronger bridge. Barangay Taradungan is composed of five (5)
sitios wherein three (3) of thesesitios are separated by Taradungan River from Sitio Centro wherein
majorityof thepopulation resides. They used to be connected by Taradungan Bridge whichmadethe
transportation in the barangay much easier. Since 2015, a repair/reconstruction was never made until
today, andpeopleare forced to use a detour around the river resulting to a thirty-minute longer triptothe
other side which can be reached in just five (5) minutes if the bridge is usable. ISSUE/PROBLEM AFFECTED

the issue the team conducted a dialoguewiththebarangay officials encouraging them to make a new
resolution for the constructionof the said bridge addressed to Governor Jose Chavez Alvarez, Provincial
Governorof Palawan. Moreover, the team representative also talked to the Municipal Mayor of Roxas for
assistance in the follow-up of the said project and he respondedpositivelyin helping Barangay Taradungan.

The Community Based Immersion Program was conducted at BarangayTaradungan, Palawan from March
22, 2021 to May 1, 2021. Similar to anyotherendeavors, the CBIP also encountered different difficulties
before it wasmadepossible. Before the conduct of the project, problems encountered were the following:
Funding; and Transportation In order to succeed in the community immersion, the teamseek
helpfromdifferent individuals and agencies and through the team members’ own salariesaswell the 45-Day
Community Based Immersion Program was funded. As to transportation, Taradungan is quite far from town
which is why theteamasked for help from various individuals to lend the team a vehicle for their mission,
while sometimes personal motorcycles of the team members also became useful. In addition, during the
conduct of the CBIP in the area, the teamnoticedthat most of the residents are cooperative and friendly
type of people causinganeasyapproach to them. Whenever they see uniformed men and women, they
naturallyshow their hospitality and display interest during dialogues and conversations. This shows that
people in the area are collaborative and are well awareof thegood intention of the Government troops thus
making it easier in terms of informationgathering regarding Communist Terrorist Group. Moreover, some
Sitios are hardly visited by the team due to distanceandthethreat cause by the Communist Terrorist Group
in the neighboring barangayof Antonino, Bagong Bayan and the municipality of Dumaran.
