Barangay Nursery Socio-Economic Profile 2005-2006 1

Historical Background The barangay was named as Nursery because of the project that was established by the Bureau of Agricultural Extension (BAEX) under Republic 680 in 1950. This is a law that obliged the Provincial Government to provide a land as a demo farm for growing fruits, rootcrops, and trees. The lot was bought from Herbert L. Heath and company during the administration of Governor Mateo Pecson. They called this land as Provincial Nursery. During its first operation, it was managed by Ceferino Fernandez the Provincial Agriculturist. When he was transferred to Sorsogon, his position was given to Mr. Romeo Escuadra. During his term, he donated one hectare of the land for the school and also one hectare for the cemetery. In mid 1980’s, the Provincial Nursery was transferred to Matipuron, Milagros and the original Nursery was transformed into a Provincial Subdivision. It was aimed to be sold at a reasonable price so that the people can afford the lot and also to give space or area to some government offices to construct their own permanent office. From then on, the Nursery which was filled with crops, fruit trees and trees was transformed into Barangay Nursery with houses, offices and subdivisions. Aside from the residential lots, private lots were also sold to rich individuals which was later on developed into Subdivisions like Celestina Subdivision, Palmas Verdes Village and Navarro Subdivision. The first barangay captain in 1953 was Magno Nogas. His successor were Ramon Estrella, Jaime Duran, Mila Butalid and Wenceslao Asilum.

puroks. Each purok is represented by purok president in the barangay council meeting.Purok 3 serves as the center of the barangay where almost all the infrastructure facilities are located. The landmark of Purok 1 is _______, while ______ in Purok 2. Soil

Generally the soil types of the

poblacion barangay of Masbate city is classified as Hydrosol (1) and Bolinao Clay (153)

Bolinao clay (153) has a strongly sloping to rolling hilly topography with good surface and fair internal drainage. The solumn of Bolinao clay provides a good foothold for crops. The surface soil, being friable and fine granular clay loam, contains a fair amount of organic matter. It is easily prepared to good tilt under optimum moisture condition. The soil is sufficiently deep for planting any crop.

Hydrosols ate generally characterized by a brackish aqueous horizon or surface water ranging in depth from 5 to 100 centimeters or more depending on the rise and fall of the tide.

Natural Resources Barangay Nursery is strategically located adjacent to Masbate Pass, it is a rich fishing ground for its residents and the nearby poblacion barangay. Mangroves are also present in its coastline. Land Use Potentials The trend for commercialization of Masbate City is slowly gaining its momentum as evidently manifested by growing number of vital establishments such as banks, department stores, fast - food chains and others.

Practically considering the above mentioned factors, the land use potential for barangay Nursery should be gearing towards augmentation of land areas devoted for commercial use, so as to harness the areas potential for commerce and trade.

Residential use is projected to increase because among urban barangays,

Barangay Nursery is considered to have a large area available for residential as well as commercial use.


Roads

POVERTY PROFILE


The result of CBMS showed the top five area of concern for the Minimum Basic Needs of Barangay Nursery comprising of: 1) 333 or 39.8% of the children aged 13-16 years old are not in high school. 2.) 623 or 37.5% of the households have income below poverty threshold level 3) 385 or 23.7% of the children aged 6-12 years old are not in elementary. 4) 363 or 21.9% of the households have no access to safe water 5) 315 or 19% of the households have no sanitary toilet

The summary of CBMS Indicators in barangay Nursery showed the top

five priority issues that urgently needs to be addressed. It implies that the core problem of urban and rural areas are the same.

In line with the national governments “Millennium Development Goal” and

Programs to intensify access to education, local government’s development projects and programs should be implemented vies – a – vis the national development plan in order to genuinely address the needs of its constituents. The summary of CBMS indicator reflected in the above mentioned table should be the basis in the crafting of this development plan in order to properly identify the basic and priority needs of the people.

1. Proportion of children aged 13-16 years old not in high school.

There were a total of 835 children aged 13-16 years old in the

barangay, 333 or 39.8% % among them are not attending high school. This is composed of 169 male and 164 female. Poverty is the major reason why they are not attending high school. Children choose to help their parents in raising money rather than attending high school in order to satisfy their daily basic needs. In line with the City Governments intensified campaign on Literacy Program, the “Alternative Learning System” of the City Dep Ed has been created. Under this program, the city government provides the needs of the literacy class in all the barangays. This includes the books, pencils, papers and notebooks of the participating class while the city Dep Ed provides the manpower and technical assistance from teachers to conduct literacy class.

Provide livelihood programs so that parents can afford to send their children to school.

Encourage out of school youths to participate in the ALS.

Provide scholarship to poor but deserving students


2. Proportion of households with income below poverty threshold

level

Of 1,657 households, 623 or 37.5 % income below poverty threshold level. Most of them are situated in Purok 3 where 44% are living below this poverty threshold. Insufficient livelih ood opportunities and attitude problem limits the residents in improving the quality of their lives. Thus, better economic alternatives are being introduced through the program of cooperative development, livelihood assistance, pre and post harvest facilities distribution and skills training development.

Encourage potential product development such boat making

Skills training on automotive, welding, electronics and driving

Sessions on character development

Promote and encourage small scale business or enterprise

Provision of livelihood /capital assistance 3. Proportion of children 6 – 12 years old n ot in elementary.

Of 1,621 number of children aged 6-12 years old, 385 or 23.7% are not in elementary school. Poverty and lack of parents income hinders these children to secure elementary education.

Provide livelihood programs so that parents can afford to send their children to school.

Encourage out of school youths to participate in the ALS

Provide scholarship to poor but deserving students


4. Proportion of households without access to safe drinking water

There are 1,657 households in the barangay. Of these households, 363 or 21.9% have no access to safe drinking water. Majority of households are dependent to Masbate Mobo Water District (MMWD) for their water supply, which is considered to be in level III water.

Chlorination of open dug well as well as deep or shallow well

Periodic monitoring of water source

Establishment of water refilling stations

5. Proportion of households who have no sanitary toilet

Out of 1,657 households,315 or 19% have no sanitary toilet. This posts a critical concern in the barangay as this may pose health and environment hazard to the community because improper waste disposal will bring several diseases to the populace. Every year the city government distributes steel bars, cement and toilet bowls for the construction of sanitary toilet. However, some are indifferent towards the program.

The Barangay council together with the midwife and health workers must intensify the monitoring of the constru ction of sanitary toilet to the recipients of the materials from the city government.

Conduct IEC on the importance of sanitary toilet

The barangay can also allocate funds for the construction of common septic tanks.

The programs of the city government are geared towards poverty reduction. Developmental social programs and projects are being implemented to provide quality education, better health care, security, and empowering all sectors of the society. Education The greatest challenge of the Department of Education with the LGU is to provide quality education among children in elementary and secondary levels. It may seem elusive but it can be achieved through provision of programs and projects anchored on academic excellence and education for all.

Nursery Elementary school is the only elementary school present in the barangay with a teaching force of 25 permanent teachers and 2 Local School Board. In school year 2006-2007, the enrollment totaled to 908 comprising of 450 male and 458 female. Teacher-Pupil Ratio is 1:33 and Cohort-Survival Rate is 51%.

Although there is an elementary school in the barangay, there are children

who are also enrolled in other schools located in nearby barangays like Jose Zurbito Sr. Elementary School situated at Barangay Centro and Sacro Costato at Cagba in barangay Tugbo. There are also children who are not in school, in fact of 1,621 total number of 6-12 years old, 385 are not in school which comprises 23.7% of its total number.

Being an urban barangay, access to secondary school is not a problem of the residents. There are 4 schools located in urban barangays. Three is a private school while Masbate National Comprehensive is the only public school. Where most of them are enrolled. However, accessibility is not a guarantee of a high enrollment rate in the barangay. In fact the result of the CBMS showed that it is the top 1 main concern of the barangay. Out 333 or 39.8% of the children aged 13-16 years old are not in high school.

Poverty is the major reason why they are not attending high school.

Children choose to help their parents in raising money rather than attending the school in order to sustain their daily basic needs. Even if the Department of Education provides a free elementary and secondary education, the needs of the children like uniforms, bags, and money for their snacks while in school hinders

SOCIAL PROFILE


them from continuing or attending the school that’s why even the cohort survival rate is low.

That’s why, the City Government has intensified its campaign on Literacy

Program under the Alternative Learning System of the City Dep Ed. The city government provides the needs of the literacy class in all the barangays. This includes the books, pencils, papers and notebooks of the participating class while the city Dep Ed provides the manpower and technical assistance from teachers to conduct literacy class.

The facilities of the school in terms of its classrooms are basically good with some buildings that needs immediate repair. Laboratory and school clinic which are deemed necessary for the total educational development are lacking. Absence of these facilities are setbacks in the educational system of the school. Thus, there is a need to install/construct such facilities in order to provide better learning and hands-on experience of the lessons being taught to the school children.

Literacy

“The traditional definition of literacy

is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak. In modern contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at a level adequate for communication, or at a level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a literate society, so as to take part in that society”(wikipedia).In the CBMS, simple literacy was made to gauge the literacy rate of the barangay.

Literacy Program is spearheaded by the City Government in partnership with the City Dep Ed. The city government provides the needs of the literacy class in all the barangays. This includes the books, pencils, papers and notebooks of the participating class while the city Dep Ed provides the manpower and technical assistance from teachers to conduct literacy class.

Barangay Nursery has a high literacy rate of 97.3% as compared to other barangays. Of its 6,021 population of 10 years old above, 163 of these are not literate or don’t have the ability to read and write. They are composed of 77 male and 86 female. To address this concern, Literacy Program is conducted in all barangays which is spearheaded by the City Government in partnership with the City Dep Ed. The city government provides the needs of the literacy class in all the barangays. This includes the books, pencils, papers and notebooks of the participating class while the city Dep Ed provides the manpower and technical assistance from teachers to conduct literacy class.
