Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014-2019
PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 1
I. Introduction
1.1 BACKGROUND The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) is a document that articulates the aspirations of the provincial leadership and the province’s citizenry. It embodies the framework of development which the provincial government set to be pursued within the timeframe of the plan. It this way the PDPFP therefore serves as the blueprint for the province’s development. The PDPFP of the province which was adopted by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (10th SP) last 16 June 2010 during their 20th regular session covered the planning period 2008-2013. Given this period coverage, it is now therefore due for updating to cover a planning period corresponding to at least two terms (six years) of the province’s elected officials. This updated version of the PDPFP will cover the planning period 2014-2019. The 2014-2019 PDPFP has been crafted in collaboration with different stakeholders of the province’s overall development. This version of the PDPFP is enhanced by incorporating in the plan concerns regarding disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
1.2 POLITICAL HISTORY Bukidnon, as an area was already long inhabited by the Bukidnons – called Montesses (mountain people) by the Spaniards. These people accordingly remained traditional until the 1860s even for the fact that Spain had been in the Philippines since 1565 (Lao1, 1985). Opeña2 (1982) also contends that settlers from the Visayas Island have started to settle in Bukidnon even before the colonization of Misamis Oriental by the Spaniards. As more settlers came to the province, the tribes who originally settled in the lowlands were driven towards the mountainous territory of the area. They were eventually called “Bukidnons” (people of the mountains) from which the place derived its name. Diokno3 (2012) from records of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines also cited that Bukidnon became part of the province of Misamis from about 1860 until 1907. In 1907, after the establishment of the American Civil Government, Bukidnon was organized as a sub-province of the Province of Agusan pursuant to the provisions of Act No. 1693, “An Act Creating the Province of Agusan and the Sub-Provinces of Butuan, Bukidnon and Batanes”. This Act was passed by the Philippine Commission on August 20 1907. The sub-province of Bukidnon included the settlements of Malaybalay, Calasungay, Sil-ipon, Impasugong, Tangkulan, Sancanan, Talmagmag, Malitbog and Maluko. Frederick Lewis was appointed lieutenant Governor of the Bukidnon sub-province. During his incumbency and with the help of Manuel (Manolo) Fortich, Sr., Governor Lewis reestablished old villages, developed agriculture and opened schools. When Lewis was appointed as Governor of the province of Agusan, Manuel Fortich was appointed as Lieutenant Governor of Bukidnon.

I. INTRODUCTION Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014-2019
2 PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON
Bukidnon was eventually made into a regular province and became part (along with Agusan, Cotabato, Davao, Lanao, Sulu and Zamboanga) of the then Department of Mindanao and Sulu by means of Act 2408, entitled “an Act Providing a Temporary Form of Government for the territory known as the Department of Mindanao and Sulu…” which was passed by the Philippine Commission on 23 July 1914 (Lao, 1985). This act took effect on September 1, 1914 which consequently marked the date for Bukidnon to have become officially known as a full-pledged province separate from Agusan. When Bukidnon became a full province under the Department of Mindanao and Sulu in 1914, Manuel Fortich gained appointment as its first governor, a position that he retained until 1921 (Edgerton as cited by Diokno, 2012). Bukidnon’s provincial status and integration into the Department of Mindanao and Sulu under Act No. 2408 was reaffirmed with the passage of the “Revised Administrative Code of 1917 on 10 March 1917. Currently, the Province of Bukidnon is composed of 20 municipalities and two component cities with a total of 464 barangays. It is divided into four congressional districts. The province land area is 10,498.59 sq. km. (Land Management Bureau, May 27, 2008) Bukidnon has a total population of 1,299,192 (NSO, 2010)
1.3 PLAN OBJECTIVES AND CONTEXT 1.3.1 The Plan objectives: a) To formulate a Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan covering the period
2013-2018 that would serve as the blueprint of the development directions of the province for the next six years;
b) To provide analytical information on the existing conditions and serves as a primary technical guide to the development of the province;
c) To guide all stakeholders on how land and physical resources of the province may be put to most beneficial use, and at the same time, determine the most appropriate policy options, strategies, measures that shall be undertaken to attain the desired rational land use and physical development; and
d) To identify strategies, policies, programs and projects that would support sustainable development directions and the realization of the provincial vision for the benefit of the present and future generations of Bukidnon.
1.3.2 Plan Context
The PDPFP bridges the vertical link between the City/Municipal Comprehensive Land Use Plans and Comprehensive Development Plans of the cities and municipalities in the province and that of Region 10’s Regional Physical Framework Plan. The PDPFP of the province serves as the framework that guides each Local Government Units in Bukidnon to synchronize development efforts for the eventual realization of the province’s vision. For this reason, policies are laid out in the PDPFP in four (4) policy areas: (1) Land Use, (2) Settlements, (3) Infrastructure and (4) Protection Areas. The policies guide the LGUs as to their contribution and role(s) for the province’s overall development.
The PDPFP also outlines the province’s role with regards to the regional development.
Strategies and programs, projects and activities are laid out in the plan to support development directions of Northern Mindanao and the country in general. It is to be noted that the PDPFP is a Vision-driven document wherein the strategies and PPAs are so outlined in order to attain the vision. The PPAs are the bases for a multi-year investment program (PDIP) and of the Annual Investment Program that are considered as amongst the implementing tool of the PDPFP.

PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 3
1.4 PLAN COVERAGE The PDPFP 2014-2019 covers a planning period coinciding to at least a two three-year term of the province’s elected officials. The plan’s geographical coverage includes the whole of Bukidnon but for benchmarking purposes, other provinces in the region are also noted. Data disaggregation is at the city/municipal level given the difficulty of securing other pertinent data for the barangay level. All major sectors that are relevant to the development of the province were considered in the core element of the planning environment of the plan. Table 1 details the core elements of the 2014-2019 PDPFP.
1.5 PLAN OUTLINE
The plan is outlined following the suggestions in the guidelines on Provincial/Local Planning and
Expenditure Management (PL/PEM). Specifically, the plan contains the following: Chapter I describes a brief background of the province particularly its cultural and political
history including its political subdivision. It also includes the objectives of the plan, its coverage and plan outline.
Chapter II presents the Vision of the province. The vision is the long-term ideal desired state of the province in the future. The Provincial vision is anchored on its quest for sustainable development to benefit not only its present constituents, but also the future generation of Bukidnon. It is also in this chapter that the development directions of the province for the next six years are emphasized through the pillars of governance of the current administration.
Chapter III discusses the planning environment. The planning environment describes and analyzes the physical, economic and social environments of the province which are the bases in identifying workable strategies and program, projects and activities. Particularly, it discusses in detail its assessment and analysis of the different development drivers (Population, Physical Resources and Economic activities) and the different indicators of development (income and access to services) of the province.
Chapter IV presents the identified key problems or issues based on “drivers” and “symptoms” (or “indicators”) as assessed in the planning environment (Chapter 30). This part of the plan also presents goals, objectives and strategies aimed to address the challenges of development.
Chapter V identifies the different programs, projects and activities needed to be undertaken for the development of the province.

II. VISION
A province of healthy, self-reliant people enjoying
quality of life in an atmosphere of justice, peace and
harmony with an ecologically balance environment and
optimally developed agri-based economy
2.1 MISSION
The promotion of the general welfare of the people of Bukidnon is the primary mission of the
Province. Towards this end, the Provincial Government in partnership with key stakeholders shall endeavor to achieve local autonomy, deliver basic services, increase agricultural productivity and investment, regenerate its natural resources and democratize access to resources and development.
2.2 PROVINCIAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIONS The Province’s thrust for the next six years will most importantly be geared towards alleviating poverty. Development directions would also include those that will support national and regional efforts in ensuring food sufficiency, balanced ecology and growth with social equity that leads to the realization of its desire to become one of the premier provinces in the entire country. This shall be pursued through integrated area development approach. Being predominantly dependent on agriculture, the province will pursue the development of its agri-based economy. Having been endowed with vast natural resources and viable agricultural products, the province will sustainably secure its niche as the food basket of Region X and a major local and international exporter of agricultural products. The province’s agricultural development will adhere to the use of sustainable approaches and acceptable effective modern technologies to improve its agricultural productivity. This will pave the way of making the province a major producer of processed and semi-processed agricultural products. To achieve this, the province will encourage investments on environment-friendly manufacturing and agri-based industries. This will not only open opportunities for employment in the province but will also ensure a competitive market for small farmers of their produce.
Infrastructure and utilities which are essential support for economic development will also be given priority. Internal circulation, especially the provincial roads which provide for a network of connection between cities and municipalities in the province as well as the province’s external linkage to important market areas via major highways will be given special attention. It is to be noted that Bukidnon has been considered as the trans-shipment route of goods and services of major cities in Mindanao particularly between Davao, Cotabato, General Santos and Cagayan de Oro City.
Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014-2019 II. VISION
PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 5
Bukidnon’s watershed – considered to be one of the most important water sources in Mindanao will sustainably be managed and conserved to ensure sustainable support to its agricultural economy. This will also open up prospects on eco-tourism development and other tourism related ventures. Overall, the province will focus its development process on people-centered development where people shall be the focal point for equitable distribution of gains and benefits from the growth of the province. This calls for total participation and firm commitment on all development processes that the province will undertake.
2.3 PILLARS OF GOVERNANCE To ensure the realization of the province’s aspirations, the administration of the current leadership of Honorable Governor Jose Ma. R. Zubiri, Jr. will give priority consideration to the important major action points which will serve as the pillars of provincial governance for the next six years. These specifically include:
Health and social Services
A healthy and well educated population is considered as one of the best resource a province
could have. It provides for able bodied work force and would not necessarily constrain the provincial
coffers in terms of providing for costly health and social services. Towards this end, the provincial
government will continue to provide for the subsidy on the health insurance of the poorer population of
the province. It will continue to operate the major hospitals (Bukidnon Provincial Medical Center,
Maramag Provincial Hospital, Manolo Fortich Provincial Hospital and the Kibawe Provincial Hospital) to
provide for a better and competent access to medical attention for the province’s constituents. In
conjunction with the Department of Health (DOH) work on the betterment of the health status of the
general population of this province.
Peace and Order
A stable peace and order situation has been proven to be one of the essential catalysts to auger
in investment in a particular area. The current administration will be giving preferential attention to
drastically curb criminality in the entire province to encourage investments especially from the private
sector. The province, in coordination with the Philippine National Police and the Philippine Army will
aggressively be working towards this end. As a start-up activity, the “Rewards System” with allocation
coming from the provincial government will be implemented to bring down crime index and improve on
the crime solution efficiency of the PNP. This administration will also work on bringing back into the
folds of law and eventually mainstream Former Rebels to help stabilize the peace and order situation of
the province.

Education for all
Education will continue to be given priority by this administration. In line with the national
government’s policy of compelling parents (especially the indigents) to send their children to school
before they are afforded with the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT), the province will be
constructing/repairing/rehabilitating classrooms in both the public elementary and secondary level to
provide them with appropriate space for learning. As a matter of policy though, the province will give
preferential attention to construction and repair of classrooms over other school needs like fencing of
the school premises, construction of covered court and the like. This is in order to reduce the widening
gap of the classroom-pupil ratio in some public schools. More importantly, the scholarship program for
tertiary education for deserving IP and indigent high school graduates will be also be pursued by this
administration.
Economic services through livelihood of families
The National Statistical Coordination Board reported that in the first semester of 2012,
Bukidnon had a poverty incidence of 43.3 percent. This was higher by 4.5 percentage points compared
to the 2009 poverty incidence which only stood at 38.8 percent. The 2012 first semester poverty
incidence indicates therefore that about 44 in every 100 persons in Bukidnon are unable to fully afford
to buy the basic food and non-food requirements which is otherwise known as the Minimum Basic
Needs. In view of this, the current administration will exert all efforts and means to alleviate poverty in
the province especially in the rural areas where these are more prevalent. Apart from the current
efforts of the provincial government through the livelihood program, this administration will also be
exploring tie-ups with private entities. One example is the San Miguel Corporation’s chicken contract
growing scheme where beneficiaries are indigent families. This is basically to give them opportunities to
have alternative source of income.
Infrastructure program
Infrastructure support is an essential part to encourage productivity in spurring economic
activity. The province considered this as an indispensable input in improving the overall provincial
economy. First and foremost in the agenda on this aspect is to keep the entire provincial road network
in an all-weather, all-year-round passable condition. For this purpose, the provincial administration will
regularly earmark an amount from the provincial budget for the routine and periodic maintenance of
the entire provincial road network to ensure that access to better health and educational services are
afforded to the vast majority of Bukidnon’s population. This will also ease movement of people and
agriculture products among others to better market areas. Water supply (both for domestic and
agriculture use) will also be among the priorities of the provincial government. Further, this
administration will put pressure to the province’s power distributors to expand household connections
for electricity.

PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 7
Environmental protection and natural resources management
Bukidnon is host to the most important watersheds in Mindanao. It is thus a priority of this
administration to protect the province’s watersheds and appropriately managed the natural resources
endowment. In support to the national government’s thrust in restoring forest covers in the country,
the province will be pursuing its own greening/reforestation program. To protect further degradation
of the environment, the provincial government will ensure that all illegal mining activities will be stop
and as a matter of policy, impose a moratorium on large scale mining (either exploration or actual
mining of minerals) but allow a regulated small scale mining activity.
General Administration
Mindful of the needs of the province’s constituency, the province will pursue strategies to
increase locally sourced income in order to meet the growing needs of Bukidnon’s population. The
provincial government’s financial resources will be utilized with prudence in meeting its daily
operational requirements. This administration will ensure that transparency in all government
transactions are met at all times following rules and laws prescribed in the management of government
funds.

3.2 POPULATION AND SETTLEMENTS
3.2.1 Population: regional and national context
Bukidnon is the second most
populous province in Region 10. The 2010
census of population conducted by the
National Statistics Office showed that
Bukidnon has a population of about 1.3
million people. It is the second most
populous province in Region X behind
Misamis Oriental’s 1.4 million. Bukidnon’s
population represents nearly a third
(30.20%) of the region’s population and
1.4% of the country’s. It is, as of the same
censal year, the 20th most populous
province amongst all the provinces in the
country.
The province has an Annual Population Growth Rate (APGR) of 2.05% between the 2000 and
2010 censuses. It is the third highest in the region just below Misamis Oriental’s 2.32% and Lanao
del Norte’s 2.07%. It is lower than Region 10’s 2.06 but higher than the national’s 2.03%. The
province’s population doubling time is about 33 (year 2044) years which is about the same time with
that of the region’s but a year faster than the country’s 34 years. By then, the province’s population
will have reached about 2,598,384. Table 03 shows the details of Bukidnon’s population relative to
the region’s and that of the country’s as well.

12 PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON
The 2010 census revealed
that Bukidnon is the least densely
populated area in Region 10. The
province population density during
the said period stood only at 124
persons per sq.km. At the other end
of the scale is Misamis Oriental which
has the highest density of 403
persons per sq.km. Figure 2 shows
the comparative 2010 population
density by province in region 10.
3.2.2 Population size, density, and growth rate 3.2.2.1 Size and distribution
Valencia City is the most populous locality in Bukidnon. While most of the municipalities in the province have a population that would only account for about 2-3% share of the province’s total, Valencia City has a 14 percent share of Bukidnon’s total population - by far, the largest amongst all cities/municipalities in the province during the 2010 census. A significant number of the population in the province also resides in Malaybalay City which accounts for about 12 percent of the total.
A greater part of Bukidnon’s population seems to converge in the two cities of the province:
Malaybalay and Valencia. Together, people living in the two cities during the 2010 census comprised about a quarter (25.8%) of the province’s total population. The combined population of 334,641 of the two cities is nearly of the same size of Iligan City (one of the urbanized cities in region 10) and about half of the region’s capital (Cagayan de Oro - a highly urbanized city). Four municipalities along the major thoroughfare of Bukidnon (Cagayan de Oro-Bukidnon-Davao Road and the Cagayan de Oro-Bukidnon-Cotabato Road) namely: Manolo Fortich, Maramag, Don Carlos and Quezon also have a significant combined share of population at about 26 percent. The municipalities of Dangcagan and Malitbog have the least population share of 1.7 and 1.8 percent respectively. Annex 1: Population, Annual Growth Rate, Density, Area by City/Municipality presents these details.
3.2.2.2 Density and urbanization
The 2010 census showed Valencia City as the most densely populated locality in the province having a population density of 309 persons/sq.km (see Annex 2). Malitbog on the other hand is the least densely populated area with only 39 persons per sq.km. during the same period. The province’s population density during the said census stood at about 124 persons per sq.km. Apart from Valencia City, the City of Malaybalay and nine other municipalities have higher densities that the province’s. Although Valencia City seems to have indicated its urbanity given its population density which is the highest in Bukidnon, it still could be considered a lesser dense locality compared to the region’s capital which density is determined at about 1,119 persons per sq.km. Valencia City’s density is comparable to other cities in region 10 like Tangub and Oroquita and slightly higher than Gingoog City. Malaybalay City on the other hand is the least densely populated city in the region with a population density of about 158 persons per sq.km.
Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014-2019 III. PLANNING ENVIRONMENT
PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 13
Map 3b: Density Map 2010 shows that areas with higher densities are mostly located along the Cagayan de Oro-Bukidnon-Davao Road. Manolo Fortich is understandably becoming an urbanized municipality owing to its proximity to the Cagayan de Oro City suburbs. Valencia has been experiencing continued growth of its density because people are likely to converge in this area for trade and commerce and employment opportunities.
Valencia City would still continue to be the most densely populated area in Bukidnon at the
end of the planning period in 2019. By then, its population density would have increased to 350 persons per sq.km. Don Carlos, which is currently the second most densely populated area would continue to be as such in 2019 with an estimated population density of 329 persons per sq.km. While the municipality of Malitbog which is the least densely populated area in 2010 (39 persons/sq.km.) will have a projected population density of 43 persons per sq.km. – the least by 2019.
3.2.2.3 Growth rate
Sumilao registered the highest population annual growth rate between the 2000 and 2010 census amongst all areas in the province. It registered an annual growth of 3.64%. Impasugong, which is adjacent to Sumilao also had a slightly similar annual growth rate of 3.40%. The growth in population of these municipalities which is comparatively higher than the other areas of the province is mainly attributable to the increase of in-migration of people who seek employment brought about by the expansion of agri-business ventures in the areas. The plantations, which products are exported to other countries attracted labourers. The municipality of Cabanglasan registered the lowest growth rate at 0.04%. One of the factors affecting the almost nil growth in population of the municipality is likely caused by out-migration of people to other areas in the province where there are employment opportunities. The unstable peace and order situation somehow contributed to the out-migration of population in the area as well.

3.2.3 Existing Settlements
Patterns
The province’s existing settlement patterns can be described as a three-tier hierarchy. Both the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia are categorized as the top level hierarchy being small cities. The municipalities of Talakag, Manolo Fortich, Lantapan, San Fernando, Maramag, Quezon and Don Carlos are relegated to the next level of medium town and the rest of the municipalities are small town (see Figure 3).
a. Small City: Cities of Malaybalay and Valencia
Malaybalay and Valencia cities which are both considered as Bukidnon’s main activity centers are the only localities in the province categorized as Small City. The two cities have a population of more than 100,000 (Malaybalay with 153,085 and Valencia with 181,556). Together, the two cities have a combined population of 334,641 during the 2010 census. This is about one fourth of the province’s total population during the same period. Malaybalay City’s role apart from being the provincial capital and seat of government serves as one of the province’s trading centers as well. However, it is Valencia which have been considered as the main commercial hub of the province. Both cities offered the most number of functions in terms of socio-economic activities. It is basically one of the main reasons why people have seemingly converged in these areas.
b. Medium Town: Municipalities of Talakag, Manolo Fortich, Lantapan, San Fernando,
Maramag, Quezon and Don Carlos
Medium towns are localities which have a population of over 50,000 but lesser than 100,000. Seven municipalities belonged to this category in the existing settlement patterns of the province. These include the municipalities of Talakag and Manolo Fortich in the north, Lantapan and San Fernando in the central part and the municipalities of Maramag, Don Carlos and Quezon in the sourthern part of the province.
c. Small Town: All other municipalities of the province
All the other 14 municipalities in the province have a population of less than 50,000 and are categorized as small town. Most of these municipalities are rural areas with farming as the peoples’ main activity of livelihood.

3.2.4 Vulnerability of Population and Settlements to Natural Hazards and Disasters The province is vulnerable to a number of geologic and meteorological/hydrological hazards. Among those which are more frequent are earthquakes, flooding and soil erosion. A total of 12,244 families, comprising 57,582 individuals were reported to have been affected by disasters during the period 1999 to 2011. Floods posted the highest number of families and persons affected at 56.21 percent and 58.95 percent of the total families and persons respectively. Over 41.73 percent of families or 38.96 percent of persons were affected by the other two flood-related hazards, namely flashflood and flooding with landslide. In terms of lives lost, rain-induced landslides posted the highest death toll accounting for five of the 15 lives lost due to all kinds of disasters that occurred throughout the period. The estimated consequence of fatality from Flood and Rain-Induced Landslide (RIL) which was generated through Geographic Information System (GIS) using current physical data and historical occurrence as parameters showed that RIL will more likely have adverse effect on the population compared to Flooding (Annex 3). A frequent occurrence of RIL in the municipality of Cabanglasan for instance would likely affect 1 to 6 persons in every 10.
On the other hand, some settlements areas in the province are prone to flooding caused
mainly by overflowing of rivers as a consequence of intensive and prolonged rainfall. Some barangays near the banks of Maridugao river in the municipalities of Kalilangan, Pangantucan and Kadingilan are affected by hazards brought about by flooding. Portions of Valencia City, Maramag and Quezon which are near the Pulangi River have experienced flooding as well. The most devastating occurred last 2 March 2011 in Valencia where value of damaged to crops alone have been estimated to reach about Php26 Million with about 3,619 affected families. That incident totally damaged 13 houses and 6 houses more were left partially damaged. Rain Induced Landslide also occur in some parts of the province like in Malaybalay and Valencia Cities and the municipality of Kalilangan.
A GIS generated consequence and risk projected to be brought about by flooding and RIL using the Mines and GeoSciences Bureau (MGB) hazards maps shows that 4 areas (Cabanglasan, Malaybalay City,Quezon and Valencia City) will likely experience RIL. A Frequent occurrence of RIL in Malaybalay would entail a cost of damage in the built-up area of nearly half a million pesos. A rare occurrence of RIL will likely spare the municipalities of Damulog, Dangcagan, Kadingilan, Kalilangan, Kibawe, Kitaotao and Malitbog. A rare occurrence of RIL will likely hit Valencia the hardest with an estimated consequence of nearly a quarter million pesos. Annex 4 shows the details of estimated consequence and risk to built-up from flood and RIL

3.3 PHYSICAL RESOURCES
3.3.1 General land and water characteristics and resources 3.3.1.1 Topography and slope
Topography and Elevation A greater part of the province is generally described as an extensive plateau which is characterized by a slightly rugged topography and is best expressed by its rolling hills and flatlands and is mainly drained by deeply-incised Cagayan, Pulangi and Tagoloan rivers and ravines. The southern border of the province is generally mountainous with highest peaks of 2,824 meters and 1,678 meters for Mt. Kalatungan and Mt. Tankulan, respectively. Dominating the central part of the province is Mt. Kitanglad which has an elevation of 2,938 meters above sea level. The whole eastern and southwestern borders adjoining Agusan, Davao and Cotabato provinces are lofty and densely forested mountains.
Elevation
Bukidnon is a highland province. Almost three quarters (3/4) of the province’s area is lying in elevation of more than 500 meters above sea level. This is in contrast to the coastal provinces of the region where most of the land areas are lying within elevation range of from below 100 masl up to 500 masl. Table 04 shows that Bukidnon’s low lying areas which have elevation below 100 masl is not even barely 1 percent of the province’s total area. These are mostly located near the borders of Misamis Oriental particularly near Cagayan de Oro City and in some parts forming valleys between mountains located within the midst of the province particularly in Valencia City, municipality of Maramag and extending towards the municipalities of Damulog and Kadingilan – both bordering the North Cotabato province.
Map 4 shows that the highest elevation of Bukidnon is located within the central part. This is primarily attributable to the mountains of Mt. Kitanglad and Mt. Kalatungan. Higher elevations are also found in the northern and north-eastern part of the province particularly in the municipalities of Malitbog and Impasugong where the Kalabugao Mountain Range is situated. Areas of land with elevations of up to 300 masl are mostly located within the borders of municipalities bounding the province of Misamis Oriental. These are the municipalities of Baungon, Libona and Manolo Fortich. Other areas with similar elevations as with the said municipalities are found in Valencia city and the municipalities of Maramag, Quezon, Don Carlos and the municipalities adjoining the boundary of North Cotabato (Kadingilan, Damulog and Kitaotao).

Slope Bukidnon’s landscape is predominated by slopes of more than 50% - described as cliff-like streams side/mountainous. This slope category which constitutes more than half (52.18 percent) of the province’s land area is mostly in the north-eastern and south-eastern part of the province (see Map 5). These areas are largely part of the province’s forests bounding the provinces of Agusan del Sur and Davao del Norte. Areas with slopes under this category are also present at the central part as well owing to the presence of Mt. Kitanglad and Mt. Kalatungan. Steep hills to mountain which are areas with slope of from 30 to 50 percent also accounts for around 13 percent and are generally located as contiguous to the more than 50% slope category. Although Bukidnon is generally mountainous, it can well be noted that plateaus are present in the province providing for slopes under the 0-3% category or level to very gently sloping areas. It is generally because of this attributes that the province have similar share in terms of area percentage in the above slope category when compared to the other provinces in region 10. Bukidnon’s share of land area in this category is 10.62% of its total area which is generally well within the percent share of the other provinces in the region which range from 8.09% for Camiguin to 15.72% for Misamis Occidental (see table 05). These areas which are largely used for settlements and agriculture are found in large tracts in the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia as well as in the municipality of Maramag.

3.3.1.2 Land and Water Resources
Land Resource
Having relied mostly on agriculture for its economy, land is considered as amongst the most important endowments of the province. The crop sub-zone for instance as specified in the SAFDZ was allocated with 191,405 hectares – a huge chunk of the province’s total area that manifest how important land is for the Bukidnon economy. Apart from its use for settlement purposes, land in the province mainly serves for agriculture activities. Pockets of industrial uses for land in the province are also present given the rise of several industrial establishments (feedmill, sugarmill, rubber processing plants, etc.) that now dots the provincial landscape. It is also worthwhile to note that forestry – a major user of land area is sustainably managed by the province to ensure that watersheds that bring about water for domestic and agriculture purposes are kept healthy.
Water Resources Bukidnon has seven important river systems that cut across several parts of the province’s territory. The river systems provide water not only for domestic (household use), agriculture (irrigation) and industrial uses but for power generation as well. The most significant among the river systems that directly emanates from Bukidnon is the Pulangi River. Its head water is in the Kalabugao Plains in the northern part of the province and traverses easterly towards the south exiting in the municipality of Damulog (see Map 6) to finally drain in the south-west of Mindanao through the Cotabato provinces. It serves by far, the largest area of watershed covering more than half a million hectares in 2 cities and 16 municipalities (see table 6). The said river’s watershed cluster is divided into two, namely: (1) the Upper Pulangi Watershed Cluster which is mostly comprised by municipalities in the North and central part of the province; and (2) the Lower Pulangi Watershed Cluster which consists of municipalities from the southern part of Bukidnon. Pulangi river is also the one tapped for the generation of a 255 MW hydroelectric power plant situated in the municipality of Maramag.

PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 23
3.3.1.3 Geological Characteristics
The Bureau of Soils through their Land Resources Evaluation Project (LREP) (1985) revealed
that the province of Bukidnon belonged to two distinct physiographic units: the Central Cordillera to the east and the Lanao-Bukidnon Highland to the west. These units occur in approximately equal extent the boundary being approximately the Malaybalay-Valencia-Maramag road. The Central Cordillera is the principal median range of Mindanao which trends northward for about 430 kilometers, the average elevation of which is 1,200 meters. Most of the Cordillera consists of north-trending ridges separated by youthful valleys. The Lanao-Bukidnon Highland which occupies most of the northern half of Central Mindanao is a composite of highland of basalt and pyroclastic plateaus surmounted by andesite and pyroclastic cones. The eastern part which occupies the central portion of the province of Bukidnon, is the broad, youthful, deeply incised basalt and pyroclastic Bukidnon Plateaus. The western part, formed by peaks and chains of Pliocene Recent volcanoes with elevations between 1800 and 2900 meters. The more prominent peaks of this part of Bukidnon include Mt. Ktanglad (2938 m.), Mt. Kalatungan (2824 m.) and Mt. Piapayungan (2815 m.) and the Butig ranges. In general, the province of Bukidnon is composed of mountain ranges in the east which trends northward consisting mainly of ultrabasic, volcanic conglomerates and clastic formations of sandtone, shale and conglomerates as well as limestone and alluvial terrace deposits and heterogeneous assemblages of alluvium formation. The geologic characteristics of the Bukidnon province is also detailed in Map 7.
3.3.1.4 Mineral Resources Mineral resources (both metallic and non-metallic) abound in the province of Bukidnon. Prospects of metallic minerals such as chromite and gold, are by far, the most dominant resources in terms of value and actual production. Chromite (Cr) and Copper (Cu) exist on the ultrabasic formation in Malaybalay City, Impasugong, Manolo Fortich and on the eastern part of the province. Gold is notable in Gango and Kinawe, Libona; Dao, San Fernando, Sayawan, Impasugong, Tagiptip, Cabanglasan, Linabo and Silae, Malaybalay City. Pyrite which is a source of sulphur for the manufacture of sulphuric acid is also noted in, San Fernando. Non-metallic minerals and other related resources such as limestone, marble, diatomite, guano, quartz, phyllite schist and sand and gravel are abundant as well. The Mineral Distribution Map (Map 8) details the locations of possible mineral deposits in the province. One of the most prominent non-metallic minerals in the province is limestone. Coralline limestone in particular which is scattered throughout the province is widely used as soil conditioner. It is particularly used to correct the soil acidity of agricultural fields. Porous limestone is also used either as binder of sand and gravel surfacing or as an outright surfacing materials for road maintenance. Limestone quarries are found in the municipalities of Don Carlos, Manolo Fortich, Quezon, Kitaotao, Kibawe and Libona. At present, several small-scale mining activities are being operated in these areas.

3.3.2.2 Protection areas
National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS)
Republic Act 7586 otherwise known as the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act of 1992 provides the legal framework for the establishment and management of protected areas in the Philippines. The Law defines protected areas as the identified portions of land and/or water set aside by reason of their unique physical and biological significance, managed to enhance biological diversity and protected against destructive human exploration. Two of the six proclaimed areas under NIPAS in region 10 belonged to Bukidnon. These are the Mt. Kitanglad Natural Park under Presidential Proclamation No. 986 (24 September 1996) and RA 8978 (9 November 2000) and the Mt. Kalatungan Range Natural Park under Proclamation No. 305 (5 May 2000). Mt. Kitanglad Natural Park straddles 7 municipalities and 1 city in the province with an overall area of 31,235.19 hectares. Mt. Kalatungan Range Natural Park which covers around 21,247.73 hectares is straddling 4 LGUs in the province. Map 10 locates the protection areas of the province.

3.4 ECONOMY
3.4.1 Economic Structure
The 2000 Total Family Income (Table 11) reported by the NSO showed the Agriculture Sector to have the highest family income – an indication that the sector is the most dominant in the province’s economy during the period. The total family income on agriculture, fishery and forestry combined, accounts for around 64 percent followed by communication and services which only accounts for about 13 percent of the total. Income derived from agriculture is also the province’s main contributor to the regional economy.

The current provincial economy of the province has somewhat remained to be agriculture
based. This can be partly indicated by the investments generated by select sectors in the economy for the period 2008-2012 (see table 12). Given the trend of investments that has been pouring into agriculture for the last 5 years where this has been steadily increasing, one could discern from among other factors that the same sector has continued to dominate the provincial economy. Although the regional economic structure seems to have already shifted to the services sector which provides for nearly 42% share (Regional Development Plan 2013-2016, NEDA-10) of the regional economy (by far, the largest), the agriculture sector of Bukidnon still tends to dominate the economic structure as manifested by the huge amount it contributed to the province’s economy. Investments include expansion of banana, pineapple and carrot production and the acquisition of machineries related to the production of these products. The services sector on the other hand places second in terms of investment and have a somewhat fluctuating trend increasing in 2009-2010 and significantly dropping in 2011 but recovering a little in 2012. Investment on this sector is generally related to acquisition of machineries and equipment for telecommunications, expansion of banking facilities and construction and renovations of commercial buildings.

Employment trends also tend to confirm the continuing expansion of the agriculture sector
of the province. Table 13 showed that employment generated in the province totaled 59,625 persons from 2008 to 2012. Of these, the agriculture/agri-based sector generated the most employment with about 69 percent of the total. Servicing is only about 13 percent for the same 5 year period.

3.4.1.1 Basic Sectors and Corresponding Industries of the Province
Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry Sector The agriculture, fishery and forestry sector dominates all the other major industries in the province. This is understandably because of the role the province assumed for the regional economy which is as a major producer of food and other agricultural products for region 10. The sector is the biggest employment generator contributing about 69 percent of all employment generated within the period 2008-2012. The major crops that have so far contributed significantly to the agriculture sector production are presented in Table 14.

Manufacturing
The manufacturing sector in Bukidnon is highly dominated by the processing of major agricultural products like fruits, vegetables, rice, corn, sugarcane, rubber, poultry and livestock. The sector only contributes about 1 percent of total investments in the province. It is thus apparently a sector that is yet to be developed. It can be noted however that there are potentials that abound for the sector. Livestock processing and feed milling for instance could be a viable endeavor given the prominent livestock industry in the province. Palm oil processing could also be expanded given the growing demand for palm oil production in Asia. Bio-ethanol production is also a promising venture as this is primarily sourced from sugarcane which is essentially the third most grown crop in the province. An investor has already in fact secured tax incentives from the BOI to build and operate its proposed Php4.08 Billion Bio-ethanol integrated facility. There is also the prospect of value adding through manufacturing/processing of vegetable and fruit products which also abounds in the province. Growth of the industry particularly on agro-processing is hampered by various constraints. These include but are not necessarily limited to insufficient and unstable power supply; limited access to information and appropriate packaging materials for processed products; increased cost of fuel and high cost of processing equipment are only some of the constraints faced by the manufacturing sector.
Services
Services is the second source of investments and employment in the province. It contributed about 17 percent to investments and 16 percent to employment. For the period 2000-2009, a total of 12,850 business establishments are registered with the DTI. Micro-enterprises dominate this figure with about 98 percent of all registered business establishment.

Tourism Industry
Bukidnon is being eyed as agri-tourism sites mentioned during the Euromoney Philippine Investment Forum and suggested during the February 2013 Philippine Development Forum hosted by the World Bank. Fresnoza4 (2013) suggests that the combination of agriculture and tourism presents a massive potential for economic development especially in the rural areas. This will accordingly promote wealth creation in the rejuvenation of hinterland economies; job generation and higher income for farmers and the food industry. One of the most prominent tourism attractions the province is endowed with is the Mt. Kitanglad Natural Park. Bukidnon as a province is also dotted with several historical sites (e.g. Hiroshima Shrine, Japanese Garrison, etc.). Several concerns are to be address in relation to the development of the tourism industry in the province. The rural road network for instance is yet to be improved to provide better access to tourism sites; Investments on accommodation facilities have to be encourage within the private sector as this is one concern that hampers tourists to visit the province; and the peace and order situation not only in the province but of all Mindanao in general has to stabilize to better attract foreign and local tourists alike.
Mining and Quarrying Two of the most commonly found minerals in the province are chromite and gold. Other metallic mineral resources include copper, nickel and manganese. Non-metallic minerals on the other hand include volcanic slabs and silica quartz, feldspar, guano/phosphate, limestone, sand and gravel and schist. The prospect for the mining industry in Bukidnon is still yet to be established. As of 2013, a total of 42 minerals and explorations permit applications are on process to determine volume of deposits for nickel, chromite, cobalt, gold, copper and manganese. The areas covered for the application include the municipalities of Malitbog, Impasugong, San Fernando, Libona, Manolo Fortich, Quezon, Kibawe, Kitaotao, Talakag and the municipalities of Malaybalay and Valencia. Quarrying of sand and gravel is also widespread in the province. A total of 81 quarry and small scale mining permits were issued in the province in 2012. Most activities in this respect is related to quarrying of sand and gravel.

It is to be noted that current strength industries are those which have growing comparative advantage compared to other producers in other provinces. In terms of employment generation, these industries provide substantial employment growth or have a great potential to provide more local employment. Moreover, these industries are experiencing an increasing market share. Industries categorized as “High Priority for Retention” on the other hand are those which continue to perform and generate employment but need to improve competitiveness. Industries of growing importance are classified as emerging strength.
3.4.3 Local Factors to Enhance Growth Potentials
Available resources are factors that may be tapped to further enhance the growth and potentials of industries to be in the best position to contribute to local economic growth. These factors are needed to further develop these mentioned industries:
Investors
Investment incentives
Skilled workers
Trainable Human Resources
Financing Institutions; Micro Financing
Sufficient Power Supply
The Academe
Research Institutions
Provision of Seeds and Quality Planting Materials

Efficiency improvement 3.4.3 Vulnerability of the Economy to Natural Hazards and disasters The impact of flooding and erosion will most likely affect the agriculture and forestry sectosr of the province. These are two of the sectors that highly define the provincial economy. The Sectoral Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Report of the province (2012) indicated that 13 municipalities are “moderately” vulnerable to flooding. These areas are either located near river/stream banks, or in low-lying plains. The hotspot list include Baungon, Lantapan, Libona and Talakag. Malitbog on the other hand is regarded as the “least” vulnerable to flooding. Meanwhile, erosion also poses to have adverse impact on agriculture especially in Sumilao where it posted the highest vulnerability rating of 0.78 (high vulnerability to erosion). All other municipalities except Kadingilan, Maramag and Valencia which are “moderately vulnerable” have a rather high vulnerability index to erosion.

The following are the likely impacts to agriculture of extreme events such drought, flood and erosion:
Large decreases in rainfall and longer drier periods will dry-up farmlands, especially so the rain-fed areas
Increases in incidence/outbreaks of pests and diseases in agriculture areas due to the changing weather patterns
Reduction of areas suitable for farming may push farmers and their families to the uplands, further increasing stress to the forestry sector, or to depressed urban areas unsafe for human settlements
Reduction in farm yields will restrain food security, especially among farmers – and their families, who have limited coping capacity as a result of a reduction of their already meager incomes
Insufficient food supply would lead to more malnutrition, and higher poverty levels – the prolonged episodes of which may lead to heightened social unrest and conflict in certain areas.

3.5 TRANSPORTATION, ACCESS AND CIRCULATION 3.5.1 Transportation
Bukidnon is a landlocked province, thus the movement of its people, goods and the delivery
of basic services and its circulation system relies mainly on its road network and corresponding
bridge linkages between bodies of water.
Bukidnon’s road network has a total length of 8,592.52 kilometers. About 9.33 % is classified as national roads, 9.91 % provincial roads, 7.85 % municipal and 72.91 % barangay roads (see Table 18). The entire road network is composed of 3% asphalt, 18% concrete, 56% gravel and 23% earth. The bridges within Bukidnon’s road network has a total length of 12,348.24 linear meters, of which 40% are RCDG/Presidential, 9 % are steel, 10% are bailey, 4 % are timber bridges while 37 % are foot/hanging bridges.
Accessibility to major places in Bukidnon has greatly improved with the continuing upgrading
and development of roads that link entry points, service and commercial centers in the province.
New roads connecting barangays/municipal/provincial roads and national highways are being
constructed and expanded. This development supports the establishment of agriculture and tourism
based facilities in other areas of the province.

3.5.1.1 External Linkages
Bukidnon borders seven (7) provinces and one city. These are the province of Misamis Oriental in the North, the provinces of Agusan del Sur and Davao del Norte in the East and South-Easterly side, Davao del Sur, Davao City and North Cotabato in the southern part and the provinces of Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur in the Western part (Map 13).
Although there are seven provinces and a city that are adjacent to the border of the province, Bukidnon has direct access via national roads to only four (4) among them. These are the province of Misamis Oriental through Cagayan de Oro City, and Davao del Sur, North Cotabato and Lanao del Sur via the municipality of Wao. The other provinces share a boundary covered with forest land and mountains thus access towards them have not been pushed yet.

Table 19 shows that the national road in the province has a total road length of 801.84 kms. Of these, about 82.17 percent have already been paved by either concrete (55.84%) or asphalt (26.33%) road. The remaining 17.83% is still gravel road as of 2012. The notable increase in paved roads between the period 2007 and 2012 is primarily attributed to the national government efforts to pave all national roads by 2016 allowing for significant improvement in the external circulation of traffic in the province. Concreting of the entire stretch will lessen the travel time, particularly for vehicles carrying high perishable products, and to increase road tolerance for heavy cargo.
There are a total of 126 units of national bridges as of 2011 totaling 4,362.210 linear meters in length (Table 20). Of this total, 96 units are concrete/RCDG bridges. It is noted that a number of national bridges has been constructed and improved from 2007 to 2012. Most of it are concrete and steel bridges which provides a more reliable and efficient linkage between bodies of water of which Bukidnon has abundant.

Existing External Linkages Below are the roads serving as the province’s external links.
Misamais Oriental via Cagayan de Oro - Bukidnon – Davao Road - The primary function of these route are trade and commerce and access to community services. Raw products from Bukidnon which are primarily agriculture-based in nature are brought to Cagayan de Oro and Davao for value-adding and direct selling.
Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014-2019 III. PLANNING ENVIRONMENT
PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 43
Bukidnon – North Cotabato Road brings in most aquatic food products to Bukidnon. It also
serves as alternate route of Cotabato in going to either Cagayan de Oro or Davao for trading.
The Bukidnon –Lanao del Sur is used mainly for agri-trade.
Alternate Existing External Linkages
Two road sections served as alternate routes in going to Cagayan de Oro: a) Lantapan-Basak-Miarayon-Ticalaan-Cagayan de Oro Road, and b) Kibawe-Kadingilan-Barandias-Dominorog-Talakag-Cagayan de Oro Road. The main purpose of the roads is to cut on distance and travel time from the southern part of the province towards the said destination. These roads though are not yet fully improved and are still gravel paved. The development of linkage between Davao del Norte and Bukidnon is already on-going with the construction of Jct. Sayre H-way San Fernando – Davao del Norte Road. This road will open the Tagum City-Valencia City direct route, an alternate to Davao City-Bukidnon via Buda route. Once completed, the road will strategically link Davao del Norte and Bukidnon, two of the food-producing provinces in Southern and Northern Mindanao regions. The road is also expected to address peace and security concerns in the area, ensure safe and year-round transport of goods and services as well as reduce travel time within the provinces of Davao del Norte and Bukidnon by 50 percent.
Some provincial roads also provide link to other provinces from municipalities within Bukidnon. The Municipality of Malitbog, for instance, has only a single route to traverse going out of the province through the Bukidnon – Mis. Oriental Road. The municipalities of Libona and Baungon have other routes extending to Cagayan de Oro apart from the Sayre highway through the provincial road that traverses both municipalities.

The most important among these proposed new routes (Table 21) is the section that would lead to the Mindanao International Container Terminal Port (MICTP) in Tagoloan. This particular route will serve Bukidnon’s proposed economic zone in Manolo Fortich. The proposed eco-zone is envisioned to become the location of agri-based industrial plants. And also, the construction and replacement of the above mentioned bridges are necessary as these will provide primary crossing to other provinces and regions.
“Bukidnon Airport Development Project.”
The proposed Bukidnon International Airport Development Project to be situated in Maray-maray, Don Carlos Bukidnon which will develop the first airport facility on Bukidnon (Map XXXX). It envisions opening up Central Mindanao to more economic activities as well as enhancing the tourism industry of Bukidnon as it serves as a gateway for major tourist destinations in Bukidnon from other parts of the country and abroad. The realization of the Bukidnons’ first ever Airport would attract more investors and tourist especially now that the Laguindingan airport in Cagayan de Oro is far from the province. Agriculture products will be directly transported to other places lessening damage to produce cause especially with high values crops.
3.5.1.2 Internal Circulation
Main routes for internal circulation within the province are served by the various provincial road sections that cut through municipalities and linked each other for internal trade and commerce. These are also the main routes used by municipalities in accessing social welfare services that are mostly located in the urban parts of the province like the cities of Valencia and Malaybalay.
Out of the total road network, 308.70 kms. (3.92%) are concreted, 52.02 kms (0.6%) are asphalted, 3,731.88 kms. (47.42%) are gravel road and 3,777.03 kms (48.00 %) are still earth roads. Table 22 shows that big percentage of earth roads are barangay roads.
Some interior areas have limited access to basic social services (health care and education), particularly the rural barangays which are served only by barangay roads. Such situation

is aggravated especially during rainy season. Since maintenance of barangay roads has been devolved to the barangay LGU by virtue of the Local Government Code (RA 7160); there is limited financial capacity to sustainably maintain these assets and thus, most of the roads are left to deteriorate over time.
As part of the Provincial Road Network Development Plan (PRNDP) of the province, some primary road sections of Bukidnon’s road network managed by the Provincial Government are being rehabilitated through the AusAID-funded Provincial Road Management Facility (PRMF). The said facility seeks to increase economic growth and improve public access to infrastructure and services in the province. Included among its activities are the rehabilitation and maintenance of identified provincial roads, strengthening provincial administrative capacity including road planning and management, budgeting, financial management, and procurement, and contracting out of road works. This five-year program for the province started its operation last 2009.
The construction of Dalwangan – San Jose By Pass road for Malaybalay City and Mailog-Barobo-Lumbo By Pass road for Valencia City will reduce traffic congestion, especially the reductions in truck traffic for both cities. Other benefits included an increase in the number and variety of businesses, as well as an increase in the amount of land under development. It would also serve as alternate route in times of disaster or calamities.
Table 23 shows that the number of provincial bridges has decreased from 44 in 2009 to 39 bridges in 2012. This is partially attributed to the recent typhoons that hit the province which caused serious damage on bridges. Other reason would be the transfer of classification of some bridges to national bridge as the roads connecting these bridges were also transferred to the jurisdiction/ responsibility of the national government. It is also notable that most of the provincial bridges are still Bailey bridge and some are still foot and hanging Bridges. The improvement of these bridges to a more rigid type of bridge is important as these bridges are the only access of the municipalities to other places in province, especially those in the interior barangays separated by rivers. Engineering investigation and assessment to evaluate the existing condition and the carrying capacity of the bridges is also important. Strict implementation of laws regarding man-made hazards like overloading, intentional damage like steeling of the bridge parts should be given high priority.

3.5.1.3 Vulnerability of the Province’s External Linkages and Internal Circulation to natural
hazards
Out of the 801.84 kms national roads in the Province, 151.79 kms or 18.93 % is estimated to
be affected by Flooding. The cities of Valencia and Malaybalay and the municipality of Quezon are most vulnerable to flood areas. These are low lying areas with dense population. These areas need high government attention and appropriate implementation strategies. The highlands municipalities of Baungon, Impasug-ong, Pangantucan, San Fernando and Sumilao are not prone to flooding.
Rain Induced Landslide(RIL) was estimated to affect 494.57 kms or 61.68 % of the national
roads. The highland municipalities of Impasug-ong, Talakag, Cabanglasan, Lantapan, Manolo Fortich, Sumilao and Baungon national road are among the heavily affected area with 100 percent of its roads affected. National road of these areas are situated in steep slopes and soil type with low water retention. The cities if Valencia and Malaybalay will also be greatly affected with most of its national roads will be damaged. Aside from RIL and Flooding, Earthquake Induced Landslide (EIL) would affect all the cities and municipality of the province but the most affected area would be San Fernando and Baungon with almost its entire national road be affect. Other hazards that would affect the national road would be Ground Shaking and Liquefaction.
As in the case for roads, the bridges in the province are also prone to hazards. Of the total
number of bridge under the administrative jurisdiction of the national government, 44 bridges were expected to be affected by RIL. Most of the bridges affected are located in Malaybalay city. This is because Malaybalay has the most number of national bridges in the province. Other hazards have minimal effect on national bridge.
Retrofitting of the affected bridges is necessary to preserve and to climate proof the national
bridges of the province. Flood control should also be provided on the abutments of the bridge. Meanwhile, a recent assessment revealed that the provincial roads in the municipalities of Dangcagan and Quezon, and the city of Valencia are highly prone to flooding. The result concurs to flooding events already experienced by these roads especially in Valencia City. The most affected roads are located in low-lying areas and close to the Pulagui River. All the provincial roads in Talakag, Cabanglasan, San Fernando, Impasug-ong, Sumilao, Lantapan and the city of Malaybalay are prone to Rain Induced Landslide. These areas are mountainous areas with very steep slopes. Earthquake induce landslide and ground shaking are likely to affect the municipality of San Fernando with all of its provincial roads prone to said hazard. Liquefaction has lesser impact on the provincial roads.
To prepare for disaster, the need to identify alternate routes is necessary. Construction of appropriate protection on steep slopes and installation of warning devices on roads are also important.

3.5.2 Communication
All the cities and municipalities have access to mobile phone service, although there are still some with dead spots. Modern communication system provides greater accessibility both for local and international linkages. This is made possible by four (4) service providers namely Digitel, Globe, Smart and Sun Cellular. Access to telecommunication services by cities and some municipalities can be also made easy through PLDT/PHILCOM and SOTECO. Municipalities or areas not connected by landlines or with dead spots can be reached by hand-held radios. Putting up additional cell sites for most of the municipalities is important since these municipalities also do not have access to landline/ telephone services. Map 14 shows the existing cell sites/towers in the province. Aside from the telephone services, Bukidnon has 27 Postal station and 12 broadcast media operating in the province.

3.6 INCOME, EMPLOYMENT, SERVICE ACCESS AND POVERTY 3.6.1 Employment
As earlier stated, the agri-based sector in the province dominates as the largest employment generator amongst the labor force (see Table 13, p.34). About 68 percent of employed persons in Bukidnon are in the agri-based sector. Significant employment is also generated by the services and trading sector at about 13 percent and 11 percent respectively. Employment trend for the past five years (2008-2012) has generally been decreasing for the agriculture sector.
3.6.2 Family Income The average family income of the province as reported by the NSO registered a growth of about 13 percent for the period 2006 to 2009. However, even with the reported significant growth, the province’s 2009 average family income of Php145,749.00 is still by far the second lowest amongst the 5 provinces of the region. It is even about 41 percent lower than the average family income of Misamis Oriental. It can be noted that Bukidnon’s major employment generator is the agriculture sector. In contrast, Misamis Oriental’s major employment generator is the services sector or non-agriculture industry. The lower average family income of Bukidnon can be attributed to these factors. The daily minimum wage in the non-agriculture sector for one is higher than that of the agriculture sector. Apart from this, farm hands not only in agricultural plantations but also as hired hands in individual farms are usually paid below the law-prescribed minimum wage. Table 26 presents the average family income in region 10.
3.6.3 Proportion of the labor sectors vulnerable to disaster and climate risks
Agriculture and forestry
Upland cultivators are highly vulnerable to rain induced landslide (RIL) and moderate to high vulnerability to drought. If interventions are not put in place, food security will largely be affected and poverty levels will increase and may even heighten social unrest in certain areas or even the indigenous tribes.Food security remains a big challenge as population of the province increases and exerts pressure on agricultural lands for food production. Drought and calamities such as typhoons will significantly reduce agricultural production.
Services and industry
Industries operating along slopes close to Mt. Kitanglad are major agribusinesses like Bukidnon Highland Farms, Mt. Kitanglad Agri-Development Corporation, Dole Philippines, DAVCO, Mt.

These industries at risk to RIL and drought provide employment to the people of Bukidnon. Hence, the labor force particularly in production areas will be placed in difficult situations.
3.6.4 Social Services
3.6.4.1 Health
Hospital bed-Population Ratio
A total of eight (8) provincial hospitals situated in strategic locations in the province and 67
private hospitals/clinics serve the medical/health services of Bukidnon’s population. Overall, this
facilities have 1,061 beds (374 for government hospitals and 687 for private hospitals/clinics)
corresponding to a hospital bed-population ratio of about 1:1,224. This ratio is below the national
standard of 1:1,000 (1 hospital bed for every 1,000 population) indicating the province’s lack of
hospital beds to amply cater the populations’ need. Annex 5 details the statistics regarding available
hospital beds in the province, shown by municipality.
Doctor-Population Ratio
There are 29 doctors paid for by the government who are currently serving as city/municipal
health officers and rural health physicians. Overall though, the province’s doctor numbered 114 in
2012. This is equivalent to a doctor-population ratio of about 1:11,336 (using the 2010 population).
This is within range of the national standard set at 1:20,000. This is further complemented with
other health personnel (see Annex 6) to include nurses (108) which have a current ratio of 1:2,030,
Midwives (416) with a ratio of 1:3,123. Barangay Health Workers (BHW) who helped in
implementing health programs in the barangay level numbered 4,560. This though falls behind the
standard of 1 BHW per 20 households (HH) as the year 2012 number will only respond to a ratio of
1:60 HH.
Proportion of Infants with Low Birth Weight
The five-year trend of the
proportion of infants with low
birth weight shows a somewhat
erratic but rather decreasing
trend. About 7 percent of infants
born in 2008 have been recorded
to have a birth weight of less than
2,500 grams. The Provincial
Health office reported that the
low birth weight is primarily
attributed to the poor quality of

pre-natal care by expecting mothers. This is especially in the rural areas were some of the expecting
mothers seldom go to the health centers and see a health worker for various reasons including
among others, the difficult terrain from their residences to these facilities. Others are not able to
see a health worker owing to mere lack of information regarding pre-natal care. Programs like
intensive Information and Education Campaign and maternal child health of the PHO had somewhat
paid off in the succeeding years as the proportion of low birth weight decreased. Although this rise
again in 2011, but this has somehow been curb down in 2012.
Morbidity
The leading cause of morbidity
in the province is Acute Respiratory
Inspection (ARI). The recorded cases in
2012 reached 45,318 (Table 28) for a
rate occurring to about 3,350 for every
100,000 population of the province.
ACI is far more widespread than
pneumonia (1,037 per 100,000) and
hypertension (978 per 100,000).
Accidents and urinary tract infection
complete the top five causes of
morbidity. Other causes include
influenza, bronchitis, skin diseases,
diarrhea and gastritis/hyperacidity.
Infant Mortality
The Provincial Health Office annual report (2012) states that infant mortality rate of the
province stood at 4.96 in 2012 (PHO). This means that an average of about 5 infants (age under 1
year) deaths occur for every 100,000 live births. In 2012, this translates to an absolute figure of 153.
For the same year, the municipality of Impasugong registered the highest infant mortality rate at
14.75. The leading cause of infant deaths in Bukidnon is Pneumonia with a reported rate of 1.17
deaths per 1,000 live births. Sudden death syndrome/acute respiratory disease syndrome follows
with a rate of 0.55 per 1000 live birth. There are only three (3) areas in the province where death of
infants has never occurred, either in 2011 or 2012. These are the municipalities of Cabanglasan,
Damulog and Dangcagan. To address infant deaths, the province is sustaining activities such as the
implementation of Expanded Immunization Program which has up to date have been recognized as
the top performer in 2012 region-wide with 90.19 percent accomplishment. This though is lower
than the national target pegged at 95 percent. Annex 7 shows the details on the five year trend on
infant mortality rates from 2008 to 2012.

Malnutrition Prevalence Malnutrition prevalence in the province has somewhat showed a marked improvement over the last 5 years. The overall provincial prevalence rate five years ago was reported at 9.33 percent. The current (2012) prevalence on the other hand stood at 6.33 percent. This improvement though in the rate is still something that the province is consistently working on to reduce. Activities related to addressing malnutrition in children aged under 5 years include micronutrient supplementation program particularly vitamin A, iron supplementation for expecting mothers and iodine supplementation, among others. Annex 8 shows the trend of malnutrition prevalence of the province for the period 2008-2012.
Maternal Mortality A total of 27 maternal deaths (PHO annual report) occurred in 2012 for a rate of maternal mortality rate (mmr) of 0.88 per 1,000 live births (refer to table 29). The province is now exerting all efforts to bring the MMR down, the target is for the province to achieve a MMR which is lower than the region’s average MMR of 0.52 deaths per 1,000 population. Postpartum hemorrhage remains the very common cause of maternal death over the years. The PHO also reported that ante partal care has been one of the proven measures so far identified to help curb down maternal deaths.
3.6.4.2 Vulnerability of the health sector to climate change
The SCCVA Report (Bukidnon, 2012) indicated that climate change had brought
about increased incidence of vector-borne and water-borne diseases. Both of which are
likely manifestation that climate change has indeed affected the health sector of the
province.
Water-borne diseases such as diarrhea, amoebiasis, schistosomiasis, filariasis and
skin diseases are also now common in the province. This is due mainly to the absence of
safe sources of potable water in far-flung barangays. In these areas, the main source of
water for drinking, cooking, bathing and other household needs are rivers, creeks, springs
and open dug wells. These can be prevented if sources of water for household needs are
safe and potable.

Malaria thrives only within a certain range of temperature. This explains the
relatively low incidence of said disease in the highland province of Bukidnon. However, IPCC
report states that malaria is positively associated with mean temperature. Hence, the
number of malaria cases is high when the mean temperature is high. With climate change,
the vulnerability of the province to said disease may also increase. At high risk and the most
vulnerable to disease outbreaks are (a) the large and fast-growing population in highly
dense cities and municipalities; (b) the population that are still living below the poverty line
with poor access to health services and safe water and (c) absence of sanitary waste
disposal facilities.
The identified top three climate change impacts that are presently experienced or
likely to be experienced by the health sector as per the report are cholera, malaria and
dengue. Results of the assessment indicated that Damulog has a “high” vulnerability index
to cholera. All the other municipalities including the two cities are classified as
“moderately” vulnerable to cholera. The municipalities of Baungon, Don Carlos and
Kadingilan have “low” vulnerability on malaria while the two cities and the rest of the 17
municipalities have been assessed to have “moderate” vulnerability to malaria. In general,
results of the vulnerability assessment show that the population of the province is
“moderately” vulnerable to dengue.
3.6.4.2 Education
Performance Indicators on
Public Secondary Schools
Report from the DepED
Bukidnon (2013) showed that the
trend on participation rates in the
secondary level has greatly improved
over the years. From a mere 30.51
percent in school year (SY) 2005 and
only 38.34 percent in SY 2010-2011, it
has almost doubly grew to about 64
percent in SY 2011-2012. This is an
indication that about 7 of every 10 in
the population belonging to the age
group for high school students are
attending school.
Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014-2019 III. PLANNING ENVIRONMENT
PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 55
The drop-out rate has also considerably improved from 11.11 percent in SY 2005-2006 it has
somewhat continuously dropped hitting the lowest in SY 2011-2012 at 6.39 percent. The cohort
survival rate in the secondary level also registered a marked improvement. SY 2005-2006 only
showed a rate of about 53 percent. The years thereafter registered a cohort survival rate more than
60 percent, even hitting about 70 percent in SY 2008-2009. This means that 7 of every students who
enrolled in first year eventually reached 4th year. The marked improvement of the indicators may
primarily be attributed to the establishment of annex high schools in the province to cater for
elementary graduates especially in far flung barangays.
Performance Indicators on Elementary Schools
The participation rate
amongst elementary age
population showed a notable
improvement in SY 2011-2012
compared to the previous 5-year
trend. Almost 96 of every 100 in
the elementary age group are
enrolled during the particular
school year. However, it can be
noted that the cohort survival rate
in the elementary level is
somewhat lower that desired. In
fact the province registered the
lowest cohort survival rate at
around 65 percent amongst the 5
provinces in the region (DepED BEIS, 2013). The province of Camiguin for instance had a rate of more
than 80% in all grade levels during the same school year.
Tertiary Education
The province has 2 state universities: Central Mindanao University and the Bukidnon State
University. Overall, there are 18 tertiary schools in the province. These schools have a total
enrolment of 29,340 for SY 2012-2013 comprising of students who primarily comes from the
province. It can be noted that there are more female enrollees (58.40%) compared to male. This just
confirms the observation where there are more female graduates in the secondary level as
compared to their male counterpart. This is primarily attributed to the reason where male students
are more likely to drop out of school to find employment in the farms to help their families.

3.6.4.3 Housing
Housing has been
one of the important
priorities of the province.
The province in
collaboration with recipient
LGUs has so far established
59 subdivisions catering to
both the informal and
formal sectors alike. This is
on a total land area of
179.0941 hectares with
7,080 housing units in all.
The province, in its quest to provide descent dwelling units for its populace also partnered with the
Gawad Kalinga and government shelter agencies like the National Housing Authority, Housing
Development Mutual Fund, Pag-IBIG and GSIS) for this activity. Apart from these governmental
efforts, the private sector through private developers also made a dent on reducing housing backlog
by catering the middle and high income families (both belonging to the formal sector).
Distribution of Households by type of Housing Units Occupied
The province’s inhabitants generally prefer the privacy of the single house type where the
household could occupy one dwelling unit. About 96.20 percent of the total dwelling units of
Bukidnon belong to the single house type. The remaining 1.2 percent belonged to other types of
dwelling units, such as: duplex, multi-unit, residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural types
(Annex 9).
Housing Backlog and
Housing Need
The province is still faced with
a somewhat insurmountable odd with
respect to the provision of dwelling
units for its populace. An inventory of
informal settlers conducted by the
Real Estate and Housing Division of
the provincial government in 2013
showed that for informal settlers
alone, the province will need around
18,795 units (Table 30). About 15
percent of this number is in
Malaybalay City. The relocation of

informal settlers is considered as high priority given that these settlers are mostly located in areas
vulnerable to disasters like flood and landslide occurrences. The continuous increase in population
adds to the backlog as well. Housing needs for units that are needed to be replaced as per
identification of the HUDCC and PSWDO also add up to the housing backlog of the province.
3.6.4.4 Security
The Philippine National Police
Bukidnon Provincial Office (PNP-BPO)
who is primarily tasked to maintain
peace and order in the province have a
total workforce of 802 personnel in
2012. This corresponds to a police-
population ratio of 1:1,619. The lack of
personnel may have contributed partly
in the decline in the crime solution
efficiency (CSE) of the PNP. This is
because the bulk of crime that the PNP
is handling has surged to an all-time
high of 8,500 (both index and non-
index) in 2009 from an average of only
less than a thousand crimes during the
five previous years (Table 31). It is to be noted though that the surge in recorded crime is due
mainly to the reason that crimes and complains recorded in the barangays have already been
incorporated in the records of the municipal PNP stations. In other words, the crimes reported
particularly starting in 2009 are not only from the blotter of the PNP but includes those which are in
the barangay LGU as well. Primarily for this reason, a huge increase in crime volume has been on
record which consequently affected the CSE of the PNP. The CSE for that same year drastically
dropped to only 8.11 percent. There has however been a sustained improvement on the CSE over
the years as this climb up to almost 20 percent as of 2012. Incidentally, the crime prone areas in the
province are the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia. Meanwhile, the municipality of Malitbog
regiested the lowest crime volume of only 7 crimes.
Fire Protection
Fire protection in the province has improved in terms of establishment of fire stations in the
different LGUs, additional manpower, and number of fire trucks. As of 2012, there are already 24
fire stations in Bukidnon from only 17 in 2008. Personnel have grown from 159 to 165 while fire
trucks and equipment have increased from 25 to 30. The increase in manpower though is still way
below the standard of one (1) fireman for every 1,000 population.

Fire Incidence
Despite the inadequate manpower, incidence of fire in Bukidnon decreased from 68 fire
cases in 2010 to 50 in 2011 and to 51 cases in 2012 registering an average annual decrease of 18
(25.74%) cases. Costs of damage properties was however greater in 2012 estimated at P61.70
million as against P45.4 million in 2010 and 43.5 million in 2011. There was no report in person
injured but there is one (1) death due to fire incidence reported in 2012 as against three (3) in
2010 and seven (7) deaths in 2011.
On nature of fire, 23 cases were reported to be accidental, two (2) intentional, one (1) with
undetermined cause and 25 under investigation. Fire destroyed 56 houses displacing 168 families in
2012. The most number of fire incidence occurred in the cities of Valencia (14 cases) and
Malaybalay (11 cases).
3.6.4.5 Special Concerns
This deals on the different development plan of the different groups that needs special concern.
This includes the plan for the elderly, the children, the indigenous communities and the identified
disaster risk management plan.
Persons with Disabilities
The survey conducted by the National Census of Population 2010 reveals that there are
about 18,445 persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the province. Male PWDs outnumbers their female
counterpart at 9,890 to 8,555 respectively (see Annex 10). The provincial government has in the
past employed PWDs amongst its ranks and this has been sustained not only in support to national
issuances such as the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons employed rather this was done to give equal
opportunities to them as with others in the labor force. A program collaborated with Engineers’
Without Borders of Canada, PSWDO and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) is also supported by the province to provide computer literacy and life skills education for
out-of-school youths and youth with disabilities. This however has been temporarily put on hold
owing to computers that needed repairs and upgrading as of date.
Elderly
The elderly (senior citizens), which numbered around 69,378 in 2010 (NSO) are cared for in the
province in terms of LGUs adhering to provisions of the Expanded Seniors Citizens Act of 2003. The
province has also earmarked half a million peso to be used for senior citizens’ needs and activities in the
province. As for their own initiative, the senior citizens of the province (mostly retirees) have formed
themselves into an association for them to look into their needs as well. It is also worth noting that all
LGUs in the province have already established an Office for Senior Citizens Affair (OSCA) that serves
specifically the senior citizens.
Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014-2019 III. PLANNING ENVIRONMENT
PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 59
Children
To support children in their formative years, the province has established 1,111 day care
centers. This catered to a pre-school population of 33,416 children (DepED 2012). Another 1,239 pre-
schoolers are catered by 68 home-based ECCD sites. A number of programs like Early Childhood
Education, formal and non-formal education, child friendly school, special education, school building
construction and provincial scholarship programs among others are implemented by the province to
care for this segment of the population. It is to be noted though that day care centers in the province
are still inadequate to fill the current needs of the total pre-school population.
Efforts though are still to be rigorously pursued in terms of child protection as there still are a
number of cases on sexual abuse (rape and incest) amongst children. In 2012 alone, 64 cases of this
kind were reported to have been committed. Physical abuse (22 cases) were also reported in the same
year. There is also a need to establish more women and children’s crisis center and detention homes
for the youth because there are only 10 centers province-wide and 2 detention homes so far established
as of 2012.
Indigenous People
In cognizant to RA 8371 which ensure the recognition of the rights of ICCs/IPs, a Provincial
Consultative Body of Indigenous Peoples of Bukidnon was institutionalized in the province. The PCB’s
primary function is to give advice to the NCIP and other government agencies on matters relating to
problems, aspirations and interests of the ICCs/IPs. As the IP is an important segment of the province’s
population, all LGUs have strictly complied with the provision of RA 8371 by installing the mandatory
representation of IPs in their respective city/municipal Sanggunians. Educational support were also
extended to deserving IP students by way of scholarships and educational assistance program which
have for 2012 alone was allocated with a budget of nearly Php2 Million. This is earmarked to support
185 IP grantees for the same year. The Community-Based Forest Management Agreements (CBFMAs) is
another program that favors the IPs. This is a DENR led program which provides for public instruments
to IP communities in the rehabilitation, protection and development of alternative livelihood
opportunities of forest areas within the province.
As of 2012, 12 Certificates of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT) and 3 Certificates of Ancestral Land
title have so far been approved by the NCIP. This covers a total land area of about 192,194.52 (see
Annex 11). This is primarily in pursuance to the prescribed rights to ancestral domain of the IPs. Apart
from these, a total of 28 CADT/CALT applications are now being reviewed by the Commission.
Vulnerability to Disaster of the Social Services Sector
The impact of natural disasters could result to the population being deprived of social
services especially to the poorer sector of the province. The provision of health services for instance
can be affected in terms of access if disasters result to damage on road infrastructure. Flooding for
example which was caused by Typhoon Sendong damaged access infrastructure which partly
isolated the municipality of Baungon. The same phenomenon also impacted on the education

sector. Significant damage to school buildings due to flooding which was brought about by the
typhoon affected classes of both the elementary and secondary level students. This did not only
disrupted classes but it also exacerbated the widening gap of the classroom-pupil ratio because of
classrooms that were damaged by the said natural hazard.
The housing sector is most especially vulnerable to natural hazards. Flooding, flash floods
and ground shaking/earthquake which occurred from the period 2008 to 2012 in the province have
totally damaged a total of 2,292 houses and partially damaged another 7,801. This had put further
strain on the housing sector of the province. It is to be noted that about 70 percent of the 18,795
informal settlers of the province are accordingly occupying danger areas. For this reason it is
imperative that relocation sites be identified and prepared for them to prevent further damaged to
properties and even loss of lives. The security sub-sector on the other hand could be well be affected
by natural hazards as crime(s) against property (theft) are likely to occur during this time.
Overall, the poorest of population in the province will be greatly affected by natural disaster
as their economic recovery will take quite a long time. In most cases, they may even need help from
external sources to aid them in terms of food supply, shelter and livelihood opportunities.

3.6.5.1 Water and Sanitation
Water
The 2011 Provincial Health Office Report shows that among the 265,667 total number of households in the province, 247,229 or about 93 percent these have access to drinking water. Nearly 36 percent are served by Level III system/facilities located mostly in the urban areas. Another 33 percent are served by Level II. The rest, nearly 36 percent are still fetching water from Level I or point sources. The variance of 6.94 percent between the existing number of households and the households served by water supply are mainly located in the remote areas of each municipality. Households situated especially outside of the main clusters of houses in a barangay do not usually have access to potable water supply.
Only nine of all level III water systems in the provincehave so far been converted into a water district (table 32). This is an indication that water supply operations for domestic use at areas even in the poblacions of most municipalities are still being handled by the local government as there is still no private entity willing to accept its operations in view of operational feasibility. Water is scarce or in limited supply in most poblacions of the other municipalities such that these are being conveyed from sources that are way far from the distribution areas. This costs a huge amount of investments which will consequently become a high pass-on cost to consumers if water supply operation is to be handled by a water district. It is mainly for this reason that the operations of most of the Level III water systems have remained in the LGUs. The nine water districts have a combined household connections of 55,710 (Map 15) as of year 2011. This posted an increase of 35.51 percent from the year 2007 of 35,926 household connections. Valencia City has the most households served at 14,000. This is because the city is more densely populated in the urban area (Poblacion) compared to Malaybalay City where a good number of consumers are located at the outskirts of the Poblacion. The combined household connections represent a mere 20.97 percent of the province’s total households population.

Despite the constant effort of the government to improve the coverage of water supply, the relatively rapid population growth and economic development are working against it. But the government is still optimistic that the number of water districts in Bukidnon will increase especially those municipalities with increasing population growth. Map 15 shows the proposed location of the establishment of new water districts.
Sanitation
As of 2011, 194,480 or 73.20 percent of the total households have toilet facilities, while the remaining 71,187 or 26.80 percent have unsanitary toilet or with no toilet at all. About 60% (8,701) of the food establishment out of the 14,516 all over the province have sanitary permits.
There is a increase in the number of households with sanitary type of toilet facilities in 2011
by 3,971 households compared in 2010. This increase should be maintained in order to reach the
provinces’ target to the Millennium Development Goal No. 7c, which is to reduce by half the
proportion of people without sustainable access to safe water and basic sanitation facilities.
Of all the 22 cities and municipalities, the municipality of Libona ranked first (100%) in terms
of the number of households with sanitary type of toilet facilities. It is followed by the municipality
of Maramag (89.46%), Dangcagan (87.77%) and the city of Malaybalay with 85.12 percent. The
municipality of Kalilangan with 49.17 percent has the least number of households with sanitary type
toilet facilities (Table 35).

3.6.5.2 Vulnerability of water supply to natural hazards and climate change
Climate change impacts, particularly drought and flooding pose a threat to the province’s
water supply. Flooding is caused by excessive rainfall, while the absence of rain over a long period is
drought. Both are associated with climate change, and will cause serious implications to Bukidnon’s
water resources and to those who depend on it.
In general, the water supply sector province-wide is highly vulnerable to drought. The
municipality of Kadingilan topped all municipalities/cities with a vulnerability index rating of 0.786,
followed by the municipalities of Don Carlos and Dangcagan (0.772,) and Valencia City (0.663).
Kadingilan’s high vulnerability to drought is due to several reasons: low access to level III
water supply of the populace, fewer rainfall episodes, reliance of several households to surface
water sources, and low adaptive capacity to drought.
The water sector across Bukidnon municipalities and cities is regarded as ‘moderately to highly’ vulnerable to flooding . ‘Highly’ vulnerable are those in the municipalities of Baungon, Impasug-ong, Lantapan, Libona, Manolo Fortich, Sumilao and Talakag. The aforesaid municipalities were assessed as most sensitive to flooding measured in terms of rainfall volume, storage capacity of multi-purpose dam and level of water source contamination. Data shows that during typhoon, the rainfall volume of the municipality of Baungon, Impasug-ong, Lantapan, Libona, Manolo Fortich, Sumilao and Talakag are greater than 20% to the average range of daily rainfall. While the remaining municipalities have less than 20 % of the average range. The other contributing factor is the volume of water during typhoon that exceeded the normal high water level by 10% on all the city/municipality multipurpose dams.

3.6.5.3 Power and Electrification
Bukidnon is one of the main power producers that significantly contribute to the supply
carried by the Mindanao Power Grid. The Hydro-Electric Power Plant (Pulangui IV), generating 255
megawatt of electricity, is situated in the municipality of Maramag.
Three power distributors serve the province of Bukidnon. The First Bukidnon Electric
Cooperative (FIBECO) serves the southern municipalities while the Bukidnon Second Cooperative
(BUSECO) serves the northern part. A third, the Misamis Oriental Electric Cooperative (MORESCO)
services the municipalities of Baungon and Talakag. A few barangays in the province like the
municipalities of Kitaotao and San Fernando are recipients of the Department of Energy’s Solar Cell.
Projects of this type are also being implemented by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) which
is located in the Agrarian Reform Communities in some barangays. Aside from these power sources
for the populace, other private firms/individuals have tapped rivers with approval from the
government for mini-hydro power plant.

As of 2012, only two barangays located in Talakag were not energized. It is to be noted that
this barangays which remained unenergized are far from the current Mindanao grid. For this reason,
the energization of these barangays are economically unfeasible at the moment and as such should
be recommended to avail of the installation of Solar cells espoused by the Department of Energy for
barangays in this situation.
On the other hand, household connections are a far cry compared with the number of
barangays energized. Although almost all of the barangays in the province have already been
provided with electricity, not all of the houses are connected to the power lines of the energized
barangays. BUSECO only had about 78.36 percent of household connections of the potential houses
for connection under their coverage while FIBECO had 99.52 percent. MORESCO on the other hand
had a little more than half of the houses connected to the power line in their coverage.
The power rate in Bukidnon ranges from P6.61 to P8.15 per Kwhr. – comparatively lower
than the other provinces in the region. Bukidnon’s power rates are relatively low. Some parts of the
province still experiences brownouts, especially during summer when weather is dry and the
demand of energy is high.

PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 67
To improve the reliability and efficiency of power transmission in the entire island of
Mindanao, the Mindanao Backbone Transmission Project (Abaga-Kirahon-Maramag-Bunawan) is
currently being implemented (Map 21). It involves the installation/construction of a total of 106.38
kilometers of 230 KV overhead transmission line and construction of a new substation in Maramag
and expansion of the Bunawan and Tagoloan Substation.
According to the DOE, demand for power in the Mindanao Island could peak at about 1,346
MW while available capacity is only pegged at 1,300 MW. This results to a deficit of 46 MW. Adding
power reserve margin requirement, total deficit can reach up to 196.
There is a need to address the power supply sector by exploring possible options in
providing a stable, adequate and inexpensive system in the province. The significant increase in
power demand will necessitate the need to establish power generation facilities in the province.
Priority should also be given in exploring renewable energy sources. Power generation facilities will
however need to satisfy environmental compliance and social acceptability aspects.

3.6.5.4 Drainage/ Flood control
Flood control and drainage structure facilities are needed to protect roads and bridges, as
well as the lives, crops and properties of the populace from damage caused by floods. Environmental
factors such as soil type, slope, rainfall intensity and tidal fluctuations of bodies of water affect the
degree of flooding hazards. Flooding generally occurs in areas that are level or nearly level with 0-3
percent slopes. As the slope becomes steeper, the susceptibility of flooding decreases. On the other
hand, the greater the amount of rainfall, the higher it would be the susceptibility to flooding since
there will be more surface water level of rivers, lake and among others that will affect the vulnerable
areas.
Only 13.25 percent or 139,061.70 hectares of the total land area of Bukidnon is prone to
flooding. The interior part of Bukidnon is frequently a cause of human exploitation activities such as
deforestation, infrastructure damage, inadequate drainage systems and settlements in flood prone
areas and in buffer zones.
Drainage/ flood control has become a perennial problem, especially in the urban areas. The
absence or inefficient drainage system has been the cause of damage to streets where proper
drainage is wanting. Undersized drainage pipes that are mostly clogged with plastics and silt block
the free flow of storm water aggravating flooding. The settlement in flood prone areas, especially in
river banks without flood control, is also an existing concern in the province.
The installation of flood control devices and drainage structure facilities need to be in place
in Bukidnon so as to protect and lessen the damages lives and property. Below is the list of rivers
that need urgent implementation of flood control projects: (1) Pulangui River, (2) Manupali River (3)
Lapinigan Creek and Bubunawan River (4) Sawaga River
3.6.5.5 Solid Waste Management
Alongside the development of any province is the alarming issue on solid wastes that
requires proactive solutions. In Bukidnon, solid wastes, especially from the rural municipalities, are
still not a big problem as there are still areas in the backyard of every household where most
residents just dig and use this as disposal for their solid wastes. Garbage, therefore, is most often
collected only at the municipal market and bus or jeepney terminals on a weekly basis. Daily
collections only often happen in urban areas, like in the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia, and in
urban or urbanizing municipalities.
As of 2012, out of the 20 municipalities and two (2) cities, only three (3) municipalities and
one (1) city operate open dumpsite.

3.6.5.6 Irrigation Development
As an agricultural economy, irrigation in Bukidnon is of dire importance. It has the largest
potential irrigable area with 81,189 hectares covering almost 70 % of the region’s 121,323 hectares’
potential irrigable area. Data from the Provincial Agriculture’s Office show that the province has
about 313,163 has. of agricultural lands. Out of this, around 26 % are considered irrigable, with up to
3% slope and primarily devoted to rice. As of 2011, service area in the province totaled to 33,364
has. or 41.09% of the potential irrigable area. Out of this, only 71% or 23,766 has. is the actual
irrigated area benefiting some 18, 682 farmers.
The types of irrigation systems in the province include five (5) national irrigation systems
namely, Roxas-Kuya River Irrigation System, Muleta River Irrigation System, Manupali River Irrigation
System, Pulangui River Irrigation System, Bobonawan River Irrigation System, and 119 communal
irrigation systems (including assisted by NIA and other Government Agency and Private operated)
scattered in the different municipalities. There is still much to be desired to fully meet the need of
the irrigation sector to further increase the productivity growth in Bukidnon.

3.6.6 Poverty
Poverty Threshold and Poverty Incidence
The National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) reported that Bukidnon’s first semester per capita poverty threshold for 2012 is Php10,048. This is reportedly the highest in the region and even higher than the national’s per capita threshold (see table 39). The per capita poverty threshold is the minimum amount required to purchase the basic food and non-food needs of a person otherwise referred also as the minimum basic needs. The first semester poverty threshold indicates that the 2012 cost of living in other parts of region 10 is cheaper compared to Bukidnon. Given the said threshold, the NSCB estimated that 43.30 percent of the province’s population are not
able to hurdle it thereby classifying them as among the poor population of Bukidnon. The poverty incidence among families in the province is by far the highest among the 5 provinces in region 10. It is also higher than the region’s 35.6 poverty incidence and is almost doubly higher than the country’s 22.3 percent. It is also alarming to note that while other provinces in the region like Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental posted a significant decrease in the poverty incidence for the 3-year period of 2009-2012, Bukidnon has instead posted an increase of about 4.5 percentage points. This only means that efforts by the province and of the national government in general in curbing down the poverty situation in the province have not taken any expected effect yet as of the time of the report.
Food Threshold and Subsistence Incidence
The annual per capita food threshold in 2009 is Php11,686 at the national level. Food threshold is the cost of basic foods needed to satisfy nutritional requirements. In Region X, the annual per capita poverty threshold is Php11,543. Camiguin has the highest per capita food threshold in the region at Php12,682, followed by Misamis Oriental (Php12,594). For Bukidnon, the threshold was pegged at Php11,365, lower than the region’s data by Php178.
The subsistence incidence in the Philippines for 2009 is 7.9 percent. Subsistence incidence is the proportion of families with per capita income less than the per capita food threshold. The subsistence incidence in Region X is 15.6 percent. The same percentage was registered for the province of Bukidnon. In 2009, Bukidnon ranked 3rd in the region in terms of subsistence incidence. The 2006 figure of 14.5 percent for the province of Bukidnon was the lowest among the provinces. Bukidnon and Lanao del Norte registered an increase of 1.1 percentage point and 0.4 percentage point, respectively, from 2006 to 2009.

Locations in the province where poverty is prevalent or concentrated.
Based on the 2003 Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines by NSCB, Poverty Incidence among population in Bukidnon, the City of Valencia registered the highest magnitude of poor population at 54,064 followed by Quezon (38,473) and Malaybalay City (38,423). It is evident that urban centers have the highest concentration of poor families.
In terms of poverty incidence, Talakag posted the highest percentage of poor families at 62.86%. This means that out of their total population, more than half of their population is poor. This is followed by Malitbog (60.88) and Damulog (60.29).
Key conditions and factors contributing to poverty in the province.
Contributory factors to poverty in the province may possibly be the following: 1) expansion of plantation agriculture for bananas, sugarcane and pineapple that resulted to reduced farm area owned and tilled by farmers for food and other high value crops; 2) most farm families serve as hired or piecemeal workers in the plantation agriculture; 3) Lack of education is also one of the factors that contribute to poverty; 4) Poor performance of the agriculture sector 5) Inadequate Infrastructure support and investments in terms of school buildings in far flung barangays so that children will not walk long distances in going to school; 6) Even one owns a parcel of land but does not have the capital to invest, making a living difficult; 7) Inadequate credit support services by the government and policy environment; 8) High transport costs; 9) the economic gains brought by technological innovation and commercialization in agriculture did not work their way to the poor 10) Few R & D innovations may not have stimulated agricultural growth, improved employment opportunities, expanded food supply and stabilized natural resource base. 11) R & D innovations did not reach the level of the poor 12) No proper consultation in the identification of farmer’s needs. 13) Inadequate National government and absence of LGUs funds to subsidize farmer’s products.

Together, these areas constitute about 63 percent of the province’s territory.Production lands as indicated in Table 40 and Map 19 are generally used for agriculture purposes. Mossy/Primary forest - most of which are largely found within the Mt. Kitanglad and Kalatungan Ranges accounts for about 17 percent of the total. Rivers and lakes on the other hand constitute nearly 1 percent of the province’s area while built-up areas where settlements are primarily located constitute about 0.41 percent. Irrigated rice land which is categorized as a protected area covers some 21,716 hectares (about 2 percent), by far the largest in irrigated area in Northern Mindanao.

3.7.1.1 Built-Up/Settlement Areas Built-Up/settlement areas are understandably larger in the primary activity centers of the province. These are in the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia. Together, built-up areas in these cities would constitute nearly a third (32.38 percent) of the overall built-up areas in the province. This is primarily because these cities also have the highest population as opposed to other areas in Bukidnon. About 20 percent of the built-up areas in the province is in Malaybalay City. This is because apart from being the seat of the provincial government, commerce also thrives well in the city as evinced by the Gaisano mall and other known commercial establishments and fast food chains. People attracted by employment opportunities dwell in Malaybalay. Even labor in agriculture has attracted people to settle in the city as well.
Valencia City’s settlement area accounts for about 14 percent of the total. Although the City had a larger population compared to Malaybalay, its built-up area is rather compact and is mostly concentrated in its Poblacion. The municipality of Maramag which is considered as one of the fast urbanizing localities in the province have a similar built-up area size with Valencia City. Employment may also have been one of the primary reasons why people settled in this municipality. The Crystal Sugar Mill is situated in the municipality and commerce had also been robust this past few years.

PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 77
Also having a significant share in terms of built-up area is Manolo Fortich. It is a municipality which caters to the spill-over of urban development of the Cagayan de Oro City area being directly adjacent to its borders. Manolo Fortich’s built-up area constitutes about 9 percent of the total and is mostly concentrated in the Poblacion and its urbanizing barangays. It can be noted that majority of the large built-up areas in the province are located along the main thoroughfare of the Cagayan de Oro-Bukidnon-Davao Road particularly starting near the Cagayan de Oro City border and in the middle or near-middle part of the provincial territory.
3.7.1.2 Production Areas Production areas dominate the landscape of the province. These areas are capable of sustaining intensive and multiple uses primarily for the production of food and other cash crops. Endowed with vast tracks of land especially near the foot slopes of the Mt. Kitanglad ranges, the province’s production area in A and D alone covers some 357,902 hectares of arable land. Malaybalay City and the municipality of Manolo Fortich had the largest share of production land at about 13 and 10 percent respectively. Malaybalay City’s production lands are primarily devoted to palay and corn production while Manolo Fortich’s is more on pineapple plantations being one of the plantation areas of the Del Monte Philippines, Inc.6. The municipalities of Talakag and Maramag and Valencia City also had significant share of production land at about 8% each of the total. Again, production lands in these areas are predominantly devoted to agricultural production of crops like corn and high value vegetables (Talakag), corn, palay and sugarcane (Maramag) and corn and palay (Malaybalay City). Valencia City – regarded as the “City of Golden Harvest” devotes production areas most to rice and corn.
3.7.1.3 Protection Areas
Protection land use refers to the use of areas that need to be protected due to their special values, areas allotted for food security production and other areas that need to be protected because of their inherent threat or hazards that poses danger to communities. These areas include those that are declared under the NIPAS Act, Non-NIPAS but declared areas for protection, the SAFDZ areas and other environmentally constrained areas that needs equal protection.
Two of the six proclaimed areas under NIPAS in region 10 belonged to Bukidnon. These are
the Mt. Kitanglad Natural Park under Presidential Proclamation No. 986 (24 September 1996) and RA 8978 (9 November 2000) and the Mt. Kalatungan Range Natural Park under Proclamation No. 305 (5 May 2000). Mt. Kitanglad Natural Park straddles 7 municipalities and 1 city in the province with an overall area of 31,235.19 hectares. Mt. Kalatungan Range Natural Park which covers around 21,247.73 hectares is straddling 4 LGUs in the province. Also, the province had the following Non-NIPAS areas which are categorized as Protected areas:
6Del Monte Phil, Inc. is a multi-national company engage in the production, processing and exporting of pineapple
products.

The province also is a host of three different military reservation areas with a total area of 4,797.58 hectares as indicated in the different CLUPs. These military reservation areas are located in the municipalities of Quezon, Kalilangan, Pangantucan and in the City of Malaybalay. The municipality of Kalilangan host the widest military reserve area by sharing 43.43 % of the total military area or 2,083.83 hectares, while the City of Malaybalay has only 100 hectares and the municipalities of Pangantucan and Quezon has 870.00 and 1,743.75 hectares respectively.
3.7.2 Trends
The cities of Malaybalay and Valencia have been generally regarded as the primary
settlement areas these past years owing to the amenities that are present in the area. Employment
opportunities also continued to attract people to settle in these places. Emerging as one of the fast
urbanizing municipalities in the province is the municipality of Maramag where built-up areas seem
to have increased significantly with a lot of housing subdivision being established in the area.
Production areas seem to have also increased given the investments poured into the province in
terms of expansion of large-scale commercial crops like banana, pineapple and sugarcane.

3.7.2 Physical Framework 3.7.2.1 Demand Demand for future land use is estimated by looking into the needs for space of the future additional population, protection areas and other land use requirements (e.g. transportation and other infrastructure). For this purpose, demand for settlement was determined by projecting the current population using the annual population growth rate between censal years 2000 and 2010. By using the current density of the built-up area7 the province would eventually need around 458.444 hectares of land for settlements alone within the next six years to accommodate space requirements for dwelling purposes of the additional population. Expansion of built-up areas will most likely occur in larger quantities in existing settlements within urban areas. The current trend of population growth and existing settlements would suggest that Malaybalay and Valencia cities will have more areas devoted to future settlement as opposed to other parts of the province. This is presumably because these areas have the highest population and thus will proportionally need larger space in the future compared to the other municipalities. It is to be noted that Malaybalay and Valencia cities share around 21 percent and 16 percent, respectively of current built-up areas of the province. Also significantly bigger than the other parts of the province is the municipality of Maramag where it currently shares around 15 percent, by far the third largest built-up area provincewide. Given the proposal to include about 144,350.72 hectares of the Pantaron, Tangkulan, Kimangkil and Tago Ranges to be covered by the NIPAS as a protected area, it is more likely that buffer strips will have to be provided out of the production forest for these areas. This may even extend to the production area within A and D land such that there could be reduction on these areas. The expansion of builti-up areas and protected areas will effect a reduction in the agriculture and other production areas of the province.
3.7.2.2 Supply
A Suitability Parameters and Ratings Matrix outlining the criteria to determinewhich land is suited to be allocated for settlement purposes is used to estimate land supply for settlement. The province identified 7 land suitability criteria for the identification of settlements expansion area (see details in annex __)8. From these criteria, the following estimated land supply according to priority is determined as follows:
Table 42: Estimated Land Supply as per Land Suitability Matrix, 2013, Province of Bukidnon

High Priority 154.77

Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014-2019 III. PLANNING ENVIRONMENT
PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 81
The Land Suitability Matrix revealed that only about 154.77 hectares can be considered “high priority” for settlement purposes. These areas are those which belonged to the A and D classification, with slopes of 0-8 percent, away from flooding hazard, not within the SAFDZ zone, and is not vulnerable to either rain or earthquake induced land slide. In other words, these are considered prime lands for settlement areas. However, this falls short of the requirement for expansion. Thus, it is imperative to consider areas considered “moderate priority” for expansion. These areas have low susceptibility to flooding and are within the production area (agriculture). Mitigation measures are therefore needed in these areas. These two priority areas (high and moderate) will more than cover for the impending need for settlement areas expansion.
3.7.3 Settlements Development Framework
The settlement development of the province is anchored on the premise that every person has the right to live in a decent and humane satisfying living environment. An environment where people can live, learn and freely undertake both economic and social activities in conditions of safety, comfort, productivity and efficiency.
Expansion of the existing built-up areas is expected considering the need for additional areas
for housing, essential urban amenities like health facilities, institutional facilities, and other facilities mostly located in urban centers and expansion of rural settlements.The bulk of expansion areas are still wider in the two cities of Malaybalay and Valencia and the four emerging growth centers of the province, namely, the municipalities of Maramag, Quezon, ManoloFortich and Don Carlos.
As regards to settlements hierarchy, It is expected that by the end of the planning period,
the two cities will remain in its category as large cities since its population are still within the 100 – 400 thousand marks; the six municipalities are categorized as medium towns with a population that range between 50 – 100 thousand and the remaining 14 municipalities will remain as small towns considering its population that are less than 50,000 people.
Table 44: Hierarchy ofSettlements, 2013-2016, Province of Bukidnon

Large City (100-400 thousand population)

Small Town (less than 50 thousand population)
Pangantucan, San Fernando, Kitaotao, Impasugong, Kalilangan, Libona, Kibawe, Cabanglasan, Kadingilan, Baungon and Malitbog
Malaybalay and Valencia cities will still retain their roles as the primary activity centers of the province within the planning period. Apart from being the seat of provincial government and one of the primary production areas for food and other agricultural products, Malaybalay will continue to cater for business expansion. The city is also hub for employment opportunities in both the agricultural and services sector. Valencia City on the other hand will still be the province’s commercial hub apart from being one of the major producer of rice and corn (both staple food for the Bukidnons). The municipalities of Maramag and Quezon which is site to the bigger agri-industrial establishments will have to absorbed a signficiant expansion in settlement areas. Maramag in particular is adjacent to Valencia and as such the spill-over of urban development of the city will

82 PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON
most likely effect urban expansion in Maramag. Manolo Fortich and Talakag which are both bordering Cagayan de Oro will cater for the spill-over of sub-urban development of the city and thus will have to be ready for settlement expansion. The other secondary activity centers of the province will be in Don Carlos and Lantapan.Municipalities categorized as small towns having population of less than 50,000 will have to absorb lesser urban expansion and correspondingly smaller area of settlements as compared to the other parts of the parts. Important policy framework for the settlements development framework shall include but are not necessarily limited to the following:
Further growth in areas that need to be protected, shall be discouraged by promoting the growth of other settments and disallowing environmentally threatening activities in such areas
Urban land development and improvement shall be continuously pursued especially if these lead to increased densities. This shall be coordinated directly wil improvement and expansion of utility service capacities
Laws, local zoning ordinances and land uses directed toward the protection of the urban environment, such as the establishment of buffer zones between conflicting areas shall be enacted and strictly enforced
Settlements should not be allowed within protection areas of the province Areas that require environmental protection, rehabilitation or preservation shall be
identified and respected.

3.7.4 Production Framework
With the province’s comparative advantage over the other areas, it is expected that at the end of the planning period various agro-industries will locate their operation in Bukidnon due to its agricultural potential. It is in this context that the production area of Bukidnon will be maximize by way of putting in place various development in the right perspective.
The increasing population will definitely impact on the production area particularly as regards to the need for corresponding increase in settlements area. The expansion of settlements area will mostly likely be taken from the province’s production area (agriculture). At the end of the planning period, it is expected that the total increase in settlement area will commensurate also the decrease in the hectarage allotted for production. It is projected that the production area by the end of the planning period will only be 303,018.33 hectares. The decrease in area hectarage for food production will be commensurated by strategies in improving production of food crops. This will ensure food security of the Bukidnon populace. This can be achieved by providing necessary support to the agriculture sector by way of improve technology and pre and post productionsupport facilities.
Agri-industries will be encouraged to established in the province so as to spur value adding activities of agricultural products. The tourism industry will also be developed in order for the province to slowly create its niche as a tourism destination of the region.
The 551 hectares Manolo Fortich Agro-Industrial Zone which intends to initially develop 30 hectareswill serve as a consolidation area for goods from production places in Bukidnon and other areas from the central and southern Mindanao. This shall be developed as holding/processing area for goods to be shipped out from the Mindanao International Container Terminal situated at Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental.
Expansion of industrial tree plantations will also be encourage to improve the existing ecological balance of the province. It can be noted that there are still areas which are still open grassland which could be utilized for economic development and at the same time help the environment.
The key production framework policies will include the following: Agricultural lands that have been classified under the Network of Protected Agricultural
Area (NPAA) shall by no means be converted to non-agricultural use. Irrigated areas shall be treated as non-negotiable for conversion as these are lands
which have the highest diversification potential and productivity where considerable investment has taken place.
Ensure that irrigated lands should not be rendered unproductive due to human interventions and preserve the same for food production
Forest lands not classified under IPAS can be utilized for agricultural production subject to soil conversation measure.

3.7.5 Protection Framework
Bukidnon is one of the most important watersheds not only of Region 10 but of the whole Mindanao Island as well. Important river systems that feeds irrigation facilities for food production emanates from the province. The Pulangi River for instance sustained water supply for vast tracts of irrigated rice lands in Bukidnon. It is also an important tributary of the Rio Grande that feeds irrigation systems in the Cotabato provinces. Apart from Pulangi River, there are also other important river systems like the Tagoloan, Cagayan, Davao-Salug, Agusan-Cugmanand Maridugao which all emanates from Bukidnon. These are used not only for irrigation but for domestic water supply and even hydro-electric power generation as well. For this reason it is therefore imperative that forest areas from where these rivers came from must be protected and preserved.
The province will sustain management and protection of the declared natural parks: Mt.
Kitanglad Natural Park and the Mt. Kalatungan Natural Parks. Both parks are considered as two of the most important remaining rainforest of the country. In addition, Bukidnon will also pursue for the declaration under NIPAS for the following mountain ranges:

The province will have to observe the following as a matter of major policies for the
protection framework: Critical watersheds shall be reforested to improve water quality and increase water yield Involve the private sector in watershed and soil conservation to effect equitable
distribution of benefits, increase government efficiency and strengthen its resources Delineate boundaries to define the extent of buffer zones and at the same time identify
and regulate activities compatible with the purpose of protected areas To eliminate destructive land use practices in watershed areas, the existing regulations,
resettlement programs, incentive systems as well as the monitoring of encroachment and land use shall be strengthened and enforced.

3.7.6 Infrastructure Framework Infrastructure is an all-important component support to spur and eventually sustain economic development in the province. Baldwin and Dixon (2008)9 stress that effective infrastructure supply supports economic growth and enhances quality of life. It is crucial for economic development as it influences investment environment on the local level and increases the province’s attractiveness to investors. Being landlocked, the province will have to prioritize the improvement of its internal road network for internal circulation and highway systems that provides for the province’s external linkage to important economic centers both within and outside of region 10. The farm-to-market roads (FMR) and the provincial roads that collects it will be given preferential attention as this is envisaged to pave for an increase in agricultural production of both food and other commercial crops. This will also ease movement of people and lessen cost of transportation for economic and social services purposes. Investments for the improvement of the province’s road network systems is planned to be sourced from the provincial/city/municipal LGU coffers coupled with the financial assistance that can be availed of from the Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP) – A World Bank assisted program which provides for a 90-1010 percent cost sharing scheme on project investments. To address the increasing demand for water supply, existing and operational water districts in the provinces needs to be expanded and upgraded. In this same manner, expansion of irrigation facilities to cover for the potential irrigable areas that has up to now remained undeveloped will also be given priority. As a matter of policy, funds sourced from the Special Education Fund (SEF) shall be alloted primarily to the construction of additional classroom as opposed to other building needs of schools in the province. This is primarily geared to bring the classroom-pupil ratio to standard levels of 1:40 and 1:50 for the elementary and secondary levels, respectively. The following shall also be observed as policies for the infrastructure framework:
Priority will be given to the maintenance, improvement and/or rehabilitation of the province’s road network (FMR, provincial and national roads)
Water supply for domestic and agricultural production needs will also be given preferential attention to provide for quality water supply needs of households and increase yield per hectare of land devoted to food crops
Where feasible, the Private Public Partnership option in implementing projects will be adopted to encourage the private sectors’ participation in infrastructure development

IV. Development issues,
goals, objectives and
targets and ppas
4.1 KEY DEVELOPMENT ISSUES/CHALLENGES
Key development challenges for the province surfaced in the analyses of the different
sectors/sub-sectors considered in the planning environment. These are basically issues/problems
that are directly related to symptoms or indicators of development based on trends and current
situation. A summary of the key development challenges confronting the province which surfaced in
the analysis of the planning environment include the following:
4.1.1 On Economy
Limited tourism-related facilities
Although the province is being eyed as agri-tourism sites as mentioned during the Philippine
Development Forum hosted by the World Bank, the province is still found wanting in terms of
tourism-related facilities. Accommodation facilities for both foreign and local tourist for instance are
still very limited at the moment.
Limited investments on the manufacturing and services sector
The limited investments that are coming in for the manufacturing and services sector has
forced majority of the province’s labor force to remain in the agriculture sector. This has somehow
exacerbated the poverty situation in the province given that farmhands especially in commercial
agricultural plantations of the multi-nationals are highly seasonal thus providing employment only at
some periods of the year. Also, agricultural workers seem to be the most exploited labor force in
the province. A good number of these laborers complained of the wages they received which have
been below of what has been prescribed by law.
High dependency of the provincial economy on the agriculture sector
The agriculture sector has been historically vulnerable to the impacts of natural hazards and
climate change. The devastation brought about by TS Sendong and Pablo for instance caused
millions of pesos of damaged related to the sector. Events like these caused the victims to lose a
great deal amount of income, others of their livelihood and employment. This particularly strained
the provincial coffers as farmers had to rely on government funds for rehabilitation.

PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 91
4.1.2 Transportation and Communication
Deteriorated condition of farm-to-market roads (internal circulation)
Although the province’s external linkages via national roads to other provinces have been
continuously improved through national funding and majority of the provincial roads are maintained
to be an all year-round all-weather road, the farm-to-market or barangay roads are yet to get in a
better state. The limited financial capacity of barangay governments to apply routine maintenance
to their barangay roads has led to the deterioration of most these sections in the province. Farmers
often complain of this situation as cost of transport to bring-in inputs to the farm and bringing of
produce to markets becomes costly because of the road condition. Furthermore, basic services (e.g.
health and education) are difficult to access given the state of their barangay roads.
4.1.3 Income, employment, service access and poverty and other concerns
Unabated expansion of agricultural plantations in rural locations in the province
Although some municipalities have already passed resolutions providing for the moratorium on
the expansion of large commercial agricultural plantations for banana and pineapple, there are areas
where expansion is accommodated. The expansion of these areas by way of multi-national corporation
leasing small farm holdings deprived most farmers of income derived from farmlands. Most of them
have resorted instead to become seasonal labourers of the companies which leased their land. This
resulted to low income and underemployment.
Limited access especially of the poorer sector to credit/financial services
Access to credit is one hindrance that limits productivity of the poorer population in the
province. The limited financial resources especially of farmers in the rural areas deter them from buying
appropriate inputs that will help increase farm productivity. Entrepreneurship is also a matter which
requires seed capital, the absence of which becomes a hindrance as well of self-employment
opportunities.
Prevalence of malnutrition among preschool children
The province has recorded a notable improvement in the status of malnutrition
among preschool children having been able to consistently curbed down the percentage of
cases in the past five years from 9.33 percent (2008) to a little over 6 percent (one of the
lowest in the region) in 2012. However, even with this accomplishment, malnutrition
prevalence is still considered as an issue given the rate indicating its presence among pre-
schoolers.

92 PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON
Maternal mortality
Cases of maternal mortality are still recorded in the province. A total of 27 maternal
deaths were recorded in 2012. Postpartum haemorrhage and eclampsia largely caused
maternal deaths during the same year. The rate of maternal deaths in the province is higher
than the region so that this has to be looked into carefully to, if possible, eradicate maternal
death cases in the future.
Low participation and cohort survival rates in the elementary and secondary education
The latest school-year (2011-2012) records showed that 4 in every 100 elementary school age
children are not in school during the same period. In addition, the cohort survival rate in the
elementary level has been recorded to be the lowest in the region at 65 percent. These are issues that
needed to be addressed by the province to achieve universal primary education by 2015. Secondary
education fare no better as the participation rate in the said level is stood only at 64 percent during the
2011-2012 school-year or only 7 out of 10 of the population in the secondary school age bracket are
actually attending school in the aforesaid school-year. Although the cohort survival rate in the
secondary level showed a sustained improvement but this still hovers at around 70 percent.
Presence of settlements in high risk areas (e.g. areas prone to flooding, landslide, erosion)
Apart from the widening gap of the existing number of dwelling units vis-à-vis housing needs,
some settlements especially of the informal settlers are located in areas vulnerable to disasters like
flood and landslide. These are particularly located in the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia.
Disturbances on the peace and order situation of the province
Progress and development can only be truly achieve where there is stable peace and
order situation. Pockets of disturbances instigated by insurgent groups and the rising
criminality situation in some parts of the province seem to have significantly hampered
further investments to come into the province.
Inadequacy of utilities/infrastructure services
Although utilities/infrastructure plays an important role in spurring economic progress and
in the provision of basic service to Bukidnon’s populace, the province still faced inadequacies on this
sector both in quantities and qualities. Key constraint that the province faced on the development
of support infrastructure and utilities is the limited resources for investment. The water supply
sector for instance is faced with inadequacies given that about 36 percent of the province’s
population are still fetching water from Level I sources. These sources are regarded as “moderately
to highly” vulnerable to flooding rendering them unsafe at some point of time. Demand for power
Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014-2019 IV. DEVELOPMENT ISSUES, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, TARGETS AND PPAs
PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON 93
and electrification especially for the energization of sitios are still prevalent as household
connections reported by the power distributors in Bukidnon are mainly in the barangay poblacions
and its outskirts. Some households for BUSECO as it only reported a 78.36 percent household
connections,FIBECO had 99.52 percent while MORESCO only had 51.24 percent household
connection for 2012. Irrigation development is still way off its programmed target. In 2012, status of
national irrigation systems stood only at 63.33 percent while the communal irrigation system only
attained 36.67 percent of its programmed area of 12,958 hectares.
Persisting poverty situation among families in the province
The 2012 first semester per capita poverty threshold and poverty incidence among
families listed Bukidnon as the poorest amongst all provinces in region 10. The province
registered a 43.3 percent poverty incidence among families during the period which is by far
the highest compared to all the other provinces in the region. It is even almost doubly
higher that the national’s average poverty incidence of 22.3 percent during the same period.
What is even more alarming to this is the trend on poverty incidence where report of the
NSCB indicated that this has almost consistently been on the rise. The subsistence incidence
also fares no better than the poverty incidence. Even for the assumed role of the province
as the food basket of the region, about 16 percent are still not able to hurdle the per capita
food requirement during the 2009 report of the NSCB.
The high rate of population growth
The way the population is increasing in the province has somewhat put a strain on
the provincial economy. The latest average annual growth rate (2.05) showed that the
province’s population is growing at a rate which is faster than the national’s growth of 2.03.
Bukidnon’s growth is the third fastest in the region. The increasing number of population
certainly would demand more services from the government. This has also led to the
reduction of production areas to cater to the demand for more areas to accommodate the
expansion of urban areas for settlements purposes. Furthermore, this has contributed to
pollution as the rising population contributes even more pollutants in terms of solid and
other wastes to the environment.
Encroachment of population within some protection areas
The rising population especially in the rural areas extend activities even in some protection
areas. Although a logging moratorium is still in effect in the province, clandestine activities to exploit
natural resources are still reportedly happening. Some settlements are even situated in parts of the
protected areas.
