INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITIES
Roads
Road is critical to development since it facilitates the mobility of products
and people in the area and specifically promotes economic activity.
Barangay Sinalongan is linked by a
provincial road connecting Barangay
Malinta and other adjacent barangays. The
barangay road entering in barangay
Sinalongan was regraveled and continually
upgraded.
Improvement of farm-to-market road
leads to efficient delivery of their produce
farm goods to the poblacion and also the
Barangay Road going to Sinalongan
effective delivery of social services from
poblacion to the barangay. Seemingly, the
utilization of their land for some infrastructures, not just road but also institutional
and small commercial structures would bring about improvement of the socioeconomic status of the barangay.
Within the barangay, roads are rough and some parts are graveled.
Concrete pathways are commonly present in the barangay which links its puroks
and sitios. In Purok 1, which serves as the center of the barangay, there is a
pathway connecting it from the elementary school.
Drainage and Sewerage
Drainage
and
sewerage
are
practically non-existent. Natural drains
from rain flow directly to the open canals
which can cause soil erosion especially in
upland barrios. Drains from household
consumption also go directly to open canals
causing water flow displacement.

Access to safe water has always been a major concern of the barangay.
Though all of the households have access to water, 78% of these don’t have
access to water which is safe for drinking purposes. These are the households
with water source from rivers and streams which is considered unsafe because it
is open to contamination from human and animal activities. In purok 7, all
households don’t have access to safe water.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE
Solid Waste
As an upland barangay, wastes are primarily composed of biodegradable,
non biodegradable and agricultural wastes. There are no establishments such as
factories that could produce hazardous wastes. Biodegradable wastes mainly
came from domestic garbage such as food wastes and papers. This is dumped
through burning in their backyard pits and composting.
Non biodegradable wastes such as plastics, cans and bottles also came from
household consumption. The residents usually reuse the plastics from mineral
water and bottles. These are being used as water containers or other useful
materials. Cans are used as flower pots or other decorative and functional
materials.
Agricultural wastes comprises only of
dried leaves, coconut and corn husks and
palay grains. Fertilizer wastes are considered
very minimal.
Storage and Collection
The garbage management of the
barangay is practiced through burning of
biodegradable
wastes
and
recycling.
Garbage burned in the barangay
Composting and recycling is commonly
practiced by the residents because garbage collection services of the city cannot
reach the upland barangay. Initiatives are being taken by the people on how to
manage their garbage.
Forest Areas
The forest resources are found
mainly on the rugged slopes of the
barangay. Some important commercial
forest trees in the area are narra, acacia,
gemilina, ipil-ipil, etc. Unfortunately, some
areas were denuded for barangay road
widening, opening of road and occupation
of houses. There are areas being
reforested and protected. A river and
creeks likewise are present in Purok 2
Arangeta.

government distributes steel bars, cement and toilet bowls for the
construction of sanitary toilet. However, some are indifferent towards the
program.



The Barangay council together with the midwife and health
workers must intensify the monitoring of the construction of

16
Of 103 numbers of children aged 13-16 years old, 65 or 63% are
not attending high school. This is composed of 21 female and 44 male.
Poverty and accessibility are the top reasons why they are not in high
school. That’s why, the City Government has intensified its campaign on
Literacy Program under the Alternative Learning System of the City Dep
Ed. The city government provides the needs of the literacy class in all the
barangays. This includes the books, pencils, papers and notebooks of the
participating class while the city Dep Ed provides the manpower and
technical assistance from teachers to conduct literacy class.



Provide livelihood programs so that parents can afford to send their
children to school.
Improve the accessibility to the secondary school.
Encourage out of school youths to participate in the ALS.
4. On proportion of households with no access to safe water.
Out of 208 households, 128 or 62% have no access to safe water.
Households with no access are located in Purok 2 to Purok 7 which
have a water source form rivers and streams only which is considered
unsafe because it is easily contaminated. Only Purok 1 has better
access from Communal water system shared by 72 households.



Construction of Level II water project (communal faucet) that
will cover all the puroks.
Regular chlorination of open dug wells as well as deep and
shallow wells.
Regular monitoring of water sources
5. On proportion of households who experienced food shortage
There are 107 or 51% of the households in the barangay who
experienced food shortage. This may account to the number one problem
of the barangay which is poverty.


Encourage backyard gardening for vegetables
Provide livelihood or capital assistance to the identified
households
Other social concerns that should be given priority:



The health center should be equipped with health facilities and records of
the midwives must be updated to provide better health services
Employment
Supplemental feeding must be given to households with malnourished
member.

SOCIAL PROFILE
The programs of the city government are geared towards poverty
reduction.
Developmental
social
programs and projects are being
developed 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
Sinalongan Elementary School
children in elementary and secondary
level. It may seem elusive but it can be achieved through provision of programs
and projects anchored on academic excellence and education for all.
Sinalongan Elementary School is the only primary school in the barangay.
It caters to children 6-12 years old. However, there are children 13 years old and
above who still attend to elementary school. The distance of the school and
poverty remains the main reasons why there
are school aged children don’t go to school.
Sinalongan Elementary School is
located at Purok Centro. It is complemented
with 1:1 teacher classroom ratio and
teacher-pupil ratio is1:32. Cohort survival
rate is 86% and participation rate of 93%.

The facilities of the school such as
classrooms are concrete though some needs
repair and improvement. The whole area of the
school also needs beautification. Library,
laboratory, sports facilities, school clinic and
industrial arts which are important to the total
development of the children are lacking. There
is a need to establish these necessary facilities
in order for the school children to have a
complete appreciation in educational system
and will help them in improving their
educational condition.

day care center which is located at
Purok Centro. It serves as the venue

preparation for early education. Day
Care center is the first step of every child’s formal educational requirement
towards primary education. It provides basic learning for child’s comprehension,
familiarity in schooling and social interaction among other children. This stage
specifically prepares the child for better understanding in acquiring knowledge.

appreciation of the importance of education among every child. The surroundings
and atmosphere of the center largely contributes to the enthusiasm of children to
go to the Day Care Center. The place must be conducive and encouraging
because the children naturally need pampering in order to keep their attention.
