Population Density
Population density is 457.07

persons per square kilometer in 2005. It is
expected to increase per square kilometer
in the coming years due to factors such as
urban populace shifting to rural areas due
to land constraints and high land prices,
the presence of coastal road to and from
the city that may attract small scale
businesses that may result to in-migration
and may deter the local residents to migrate to neighboring areas for greener
future.

Summary of Issues/Concerns and Challenges
1. On proportion of households with income below poverty threshold
Out of 548
households in Barangay
Pawa, 374 or 68% have
income below poverty
threshold level. Most of
them can be found in Puroks
1 and 4. Insufficient
livelihood opportunities and
attitude problem limits the
residents in improving the
quality of their liv es. Thus,
better economic alternatives are being introduced through the program of
cooperative development, livelihood assistance, pre and post harvest
facilities distribution and skills training development.
 Encourage potential product development which is abundant

in the barangay such as coconut and bamboo.
 Skills training on automotive, welding, electronics and driving
 Sessions on character development
 Promote and encourage small scale business or enterprise
 Provision of livelihood /capital assistance
 As an agricultural community, provision of pre and post
harvest facilities will of great help to the farmers.
 Introduce new farm technologies
 Encourage backyard raising of farm animals
2. On proportion of households without sanitary toilet
347 or 63% out of 362 households have no sanitary toilet. All

households in Purok 1 and 2 have no access this facility. This posts a

critical concern in the barangay as this may pose health and environment
hazard to the community because improper waste disposal will bring
several diseases to the populace. Every year the city government
distributes steel bars, cement and toilet bowls for the construction of
sanitary toilet. However, some are indifferent towards the program.
 The Barangay council together with the midwife and health

workers must intensify the monitoring of the construction of
sanitary toilet to the recipients of the materials from the city
government.
 Conduct IEC on the importance of sanitary toilet
 The barangay can also allocate funds for the construction of
common septic tanks.
3. On proportion of households
with member 13-16 years old
not in high school.
Of 264 population of
children aged 13-16 years old, 154
or 58% are not attending high
school. This is composed of 96
male and 58 female. Poverty and
accessibility are the main reasons why they are not in high school. That’s
why, the City Government has intensified its campaign on Literacy
Program under the Alternative Learning System of the City Dep Ed. The
city government provides the needs of the literacy class in all the
barangays. This includes the boo ks, pencils, papers and notebooks of the
participating class while the city Dep Ed provides the manpower and
technical assistance from teachers to conduct literacy class.
 Provide livelihood programs so that parents can afford to send their

children to school.
 Improve the accessibility to the secondary school.
 Encourage out of school youths to participate in the ALS.
4. On proportion of households who have income below food threshold

level
There are 250 or 45.6% households in the barangay who have

income below food threshold level. This may account to the number one
problem of the barangay which is poverty.

 Encourage backyard gardening for vegetables
 Provide livelihood or capital assistance to the identified
households
5. On proportion of households with no access to safe water.
Out of 548 households, 132 or 24% have no access to safe water.

Households with no access are located in Purok 2 and Purok 4 which
have a water source from dugwell and shallow well which is unsafe for
drinking purposes. Only Purok 3 has better access from communal
water system shared by 79 households and deep well by 44
households..
 Construction of Level II water project (communal faucet) that

will cover all the puroks.
 Regular chlorination of open dug wells as well as deep and
shallow wells.
 Regular monitoring of water sources
Other social concern that should be given priority:
 The health center should be equipped with health facilities and records of
the midwives must be updated to provide better health services
 Employment
 Supplemental feeding must be given to households with malnourished
member.

SOCIAL PROFILE
The programs of the city government are geared towards poverty

reduction. Developmental social programs and projects are being conceived to
provide quality education, better health care, security, and empowering all
sectors of the society.
Education
The greatest challenge of the

Department of Education with the LGU is
to provide quality education among
children in elementary and secondary
levels. It may seem elusive but it can be
achieved through provision of programs
and projects anchored on academic
excellence and education for all.
There are two elementary schools present in barangay Maingaran located

in Purok 2 and 4. It caters to children 6-12 years old. However, there are children
above 12 years old who still avail elementary education. Maingaran Elementary
School and N. Delos Reyes are both complete elementary school. Performance
indicators of the elementary schools are found on table 14.
The facilities of the school in terms of its classrooms are basically good
with some buildings that needs repair. Laboratory and school clinic which are
deemed necessary for the total educational development are lacking. Absence of
these facilities is setbacks in the educational system of the school. Thus, there is
a need to install/construct such facilities in order to provide better learning and
hands-on experience of the lessons being taught to the school children.
Out of 613 number of children ages 6-12 years old , 107 or 17% are not in
elementary. This is composed of 64 male and 43 female. Financial constraint IS
the main reason why these children are not attending school.
There is no secondary school in barangay Maingaran, students attend to

the nearest barangay like Malinta where Capitolina Legaspi High School is
located. Others are enrolled in Masbate National Comprehensive High School.
However, out of 264 population of children aged 13-16 years old, 154 or 58% are
not attending high school. This is composed of 96 male and 58 female. Poverty
and accessibility are the main reasons why they are not in high school. That’s

why, the City Government has intensified its campaign on Literacy Program
under the Alternative Learning System of the City Dep Ed. The city government
provides the needs of the literacy class in all the barangays. This includes the
books, pencils, papers and notebooks of the participating class while the city Dep
Ed provides the manpower and technical
assistance from teachers to conduct
literacy class.
There are 8 regular or permanent

teachers and two Local School Board in
Maingaran elementary School. Teacher –
Pupil Ratio is 1:30 and Pupil-Textbook
Ratio is 5:1.
In N. Delos Santos Elementary

School, there are 8 teachers with Local
School Board to augment the teaching force in the school. Teacher – Pupil Ratio
is 1:1.

problems still pose as their
hindrance in sustaining their
livelihood and reaping more
harvest. The problems that
emerged are 1) irrigation; 2) lack of
machineries or farm facilities to
have a better harvest; 3) far
distance of the place where they Carabao Dispersal
trade their products and related
concerns. In 2006, the City agriculture Office distributed a total of 3
knapsack sprayers, and 1 plow in selected farmers in the barangay.

Fishery

households who have members engaged in fishing. The fishing ground of the
barangay covers Masbate City Bay.

such as fishing net, banca or motorboat for fishing as well as capital. Some
residents are also engaged in fishpond as laborers. They tend the fishpond
owned by some private individuals.
Trade and Commerce
Tradable products of this barangay are copra, vegetables and root crops.
