 SOCIAL FACTOR

Education
 Barangay Macarascas has 3 public schools,2 Elementary and 1
Secondary. There’s also 1 Catholic school but no longer existing. o
School both of public and private
Objective of the mini city hall, one which was established in this Barangay,
is to bring the services of the city government closer and more accessible to
the residents of the rural barangays of the City of Puerto Princesa.
 SOCIAL FACTOR

Public Health
-The construction of the Enhance Satellite and Diagnostic Clinic is part of its
preventive efforts to help prevent the disease before it gets worse.
-Equipped with a birthing facility. Having such, it can very much cater to
the needs of pregnant patients, especially so that the incidence of
teenage pregnancy is rampant in the community.
Religious Beliefs and Sects
 eligions

 Barangay Macarascas’ predominant religion is Roman Catholic. Others belong to Born again
Christian denomination. Religion shapes our individual identity and it influences political and/or
government systems across the globe. Our communities have been shaped by religious beliefs
and practices. Religion inspires some of the highest ethical ideals and behaviour.
Important Events, Local Customs and Traditions

 Barangay Macarascas celebrates the Feast of “Santo Niño” or “Holy Child” every 3rd Sunday of
January and the Foundation Day of Barangay Macarascas every 28th of April.
Social Problems /Drug Situation
 Out of 66 barangays in Puerto Princesa, the barangay of Macarascas is among the five
Barangay declared drug-free. The declaration was made after DDB validated and confirmed that
this area does not have drug dens, pushers, users, and/or that its officials were not participants of
any anti-drug activities. The declaration was led by Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA)
MIMAROPA Regional Director Mario Ramos, in cooperation with the Department of Interior and
Local Government (DILG) and the Palawan Provincial Police Office (PPO). Macarascas has a
record of estimated 17 drug dependents and suspected pushers surrendered. According to Dir.
Ramos, “A drug-free barangay means a community safe from the curse of illegal drugs.”.
 TECHNOLOGICAL FACTOR
SOCIAL FACTOR
The absence of reliable communication technology is not all bad. In fact, this disadvantage is one of the reasons why
instances of cyber-related crimes have not occurred in this Barangay. So, after all, being out of the cyber world might
bring some benefits too.
