I . O VERV I EW / B ACKGROUND ON THE I MP LEMENTA T I ON OF CBMS

Bautista is located in the Eastern portion of Pangasinan. It is bounded

by the Municipality of Alcala, Pangasinan on the North; in the South by the

Municipality of Bayambang, in the East by the Municipality of Moncada,

Tarlac and in the West by the Municipality of Bayambang, Pangasinan and

the Agno River. Based from the CBMS data gathered in 2012, Bautista has a

total population of 30,437 with a total household of 6,591.

The municipality is a flood prone area particularly during typhoon

season. It is visited by an average of ten (10) typhoons per year. These

typhoons trigger the swelling of the Agno River that cause damages toagricultural lands, crops and facilities. The Alcala-Bautista earth dike

minimized flooding except when the level of water in San Roque Dam

exceeds its capacity of 835,000 cubic meters forcing the administration torelease water making the Agno River swell.

Barangays Nibaliw Sur, Nibaliw Norte and Baluyot are under water

during rainy season due to the spills of water that are coming from Agno

River because to its low elevation. Similarly flooded after long heavy rainsare Barangay Diaz and Vacante because of the swelling and overflowing of

the Agno River Channel.

With this perennial problem of the municipality, the Local Government

Unit headed by our then Municipal Mayor, Hon. Amado I. Espino III, decided

to identify the vulnerable areas to be addressed promptly before, during and

after the calamity. This tedious work took us a long period to implement.

On February 2006, the Department of the Interior and Local

Government (DILG) Regional Office conducted a training-workshop in La

Union regarding the implementation of Community Based Monitoring

System. After such training, we re-echoed to our Local Chief Executive and

suggested to use the system in identifying the vulnerable areas. Our

suggestion was approved and the first undertaking was successful because

we were able to identify the vulnerable residents by just overlaying the

hazard map over the digitized map manually.

MANUAL OVERLAYING OF DIGITIZED MAP TO THE HAZARD MAP

The Office of the MPDC maintains CBMS Database and all data

generated results from the database are accessible to all who wants or

needs data.

II. USES OF THE CBMS DATA IN THE LGU

Generally, CBMS data are use in the preparation of Comprehensive

Land Use Plan, Annual Investment Plan, Local Shelter Plan and other forms

of development plans in the municipality. It is also used by different offices

of the municipality in the implementation of their programs.

HOUSEHOLDS WITH INCOME BELOW POVERTY THRESHOLD

Using this poverty map, the Municipal Development Council can easily

identify the location of target beneficiaries in development planning

particularly in the implementation of programs and projects.


6/17

The Office of the DSWD used the generated data in identifying the

poorest family. Around 44.97% of the total number of households belong to

the family with income below poverty threshold.

Table 1: Households with Income Below Poverty Threshold

Table 1 shows that Barangay Diaz has the highest number of

households with income below poverty threshold (65.22) followed by

Barangay Vacante with a proportion of 62.58 and the least number of

households with income below poverty threshold is Barangay Cacandonganwith 21.39.


7/17

In observance of the Civil Registration Month, the Office of the

Municipal Civil Registrar used the data generated from the CBMS SURVEY as

basis in implementing the Mass Wedding Program last February 14, 2014.

Out of the identified 765 unmarried couples, 165 were solemnized for free

and the oldest couple was 76 years old.

From the 765 unwed household heads, Barangay Diaz has the highest

number of unmarried couples while Barangay Nibaliw Sur has the least

number as illustrated in Table 2.

The Rural Health Unit use the generated data for children below

normal weight. About 1.41% of the children ages 0-5 years old are below

normal weight.

Table 3. Malnourished Children by Sex, by Barangay

As shown in the table above, of the 18 barangays, Barangay Baluyot

has the most number of malnourished children (13). However the LGU

conducted a supplemental feeding to address the problem on malnutrition in

all the affected barangays of the municipality.


9/17

The Department of Agriculture used the CBMS generated data for the

master list of Farmers in the locality.

Table 4. Households Engaged in Agriculture

Of the (6591) total number of households, there are about 1,200 or

18.2% farmers. Barangays Cacandongan, Diaz, Vacante, Pogo, Nibaliw

Norte, Nibaliw Sur and Baluyot are prone to flooding. Of the eight (8)barangays, agricultural production is becoming lesser due to the frequent

visit of flood waters.


10/17

Specifically, CBMS data were used in the preparation of our MDRRM

Plan particularly in the identification of vulnerable residents and vulnerable

houses in the LGU. During our first round of implementation, it was very

hard for the LGU to identify the vulnerable residents because there were no

indicators regarding disaster risk incidents from the HPQ Version 2004, we

just over-laid the generated hazard map available in the LGU to digitize the

map of Bautista to identify the areas prone to hazard.

Using the CBMS data we can easily identify households located in high

risk, medium risk and low risk areas, and the needs of the barangays before,

during and after the disaster, particularly flood.

DIGITIZED HAZARD MAP

We were able to locate houses made of light materials or make shift

houses prone to destruction during calamity. Likewise, relief operations

became easier because flood victims can easily be determined using the

hazard map and digitized map.

HOUSEHOLDS LIVING IN A MAKESHIFT HOUSING

CBMS SURVEY 2012

Out of the 6591 households, there were 257 households or 3.90%

living in makeshift housing. Barangay Poponto has most households living in

a makeshift housing with a total of 35 or 9.28% while Barangay Vacante

has only 0.32% or 1 household living in a makeshift housing.

In the second round of implementation, indicators regarding disaster

risk incidents were already included in the Household Profile Questionnaire

(HPQ) 2011, which was implemented in February 2012 and completed in

October 2013 including validation and posting of results to the 18

barangays.


14/17

Trainings were conducted in the municipality for the 18 barangays and

were able to formulate their respective DRRM Plans using the generated data

and consolidated in the Office of the MPDC and forwarded to the DRRMO for

their monitoring and disaster operation.

Furthermore, during the planning period, the identified poorest and

vulnerable residents in the CBMS data were given priority in the plan and

also the targeted beneficiaries were given priority for disaster preparedness

training.


15/17

In addition, the local government unit allocated a line budget item in

the Annual Investment Plan the following programs and projects to address

the perennial problems of flooding :

1. Construction of Drainage System.

2. Construction of Sanitary Toilet Facilities in the identified barangays

with problems on sanitation.

3. Installation of Level 1 Water System in the identified barangays

identified in poverty mapping.

4. Implementation of Capacity Building Program to enhance the

capability of DRRMC funded by the 5% Calamity Fund.

5. Installation of emergency warning system.

6. All the 18 barangays formulated their respective Barangay DRRM

Plan.

7. Implementation of Livelihood Program to improve the economic

status of the households with income below poverty threshold.

Based on our experience in the conduct of the survey, the CBMS

survey posed challenges to the LGU. The data cannot be obtained

respondents were hesitant in answering the questions which affected the

accuracy of data particularly on the income of the households. However,

with the proper explanation on the purpose of the survey all respondents

were very cooperative and supportive in the implementation of the program

that will benefit not only the respondents but also the municipality as a

whole to improve its governance and promote greater transparency and

accountability.

III. RECOMMENDATION AND NEXT STEPS

Bautista is a fourth class municipality, and depends solely on Internal

Revenue Allotment share. During our first implementation, all expenses for

printing of questionnaires and trainings were charged in the Office of the

MPDC because the program was not included in the budget for that year. It

was the barangay who shouldered the honoraria of the enumerators.

For the 2nd round of implementation, the amount of One Hundred

Thousand Pesos (P100,000.00) was allocated in 2012 budget for the

printing of questionnaires and cost of trainings. We requested our

barangays to submit one ream of coupon bond for the reproduction of

additional questionnaires and the free services of their Barangay Health

Workers. In the validation of the generated data, we utilized our SPES

beneficiaries wherein 40% of their wages were shouldered by the Dept ofLabor and Employment and 60% by the LGU.

This is our simple and workable strategy that other LGUs can easily

replicate.

In terms of implementation of CBMS, the LGU Bautista plans to update

the database this year 2014 using the Mobile-based approach. With this

CBMS Mobile Data Capture, it integrates filling out household and barangay

profile questionnaires using the latest version with GPS capturing and data

entry that resulted in its processes to be shorter and more accurate.

More focused on field-editing and more efficient data collection and it

will minimize time and resources.
