Barangay Sinalongan 2005-2006 Socio-Economic Profile 7 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. Drainage System Barangay Sinalongan 2005-2006 Socio-Economic Profile 8 Other Infrastructures Other infrastructures present are Barangay Hall, Plaza, Elementary School, Health Center and Day Care Center. These are all concentrated at Purok Centro of the barangay.

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.

Services such as family counseling, gender and development, pre marriage counseling, day care services, senior citizens, and self employment assistance and emergency assistance is provided. The barangay has a concrete day care center which is located at Purok Centro. It serves as the venue for children’s early development and preparation for early education.

Thus, the Day Care Center serves a significant role in building the early 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. Among other services for social development are Children Protection and Youth Development, Women Empowerment and Family Strengthening, Support Program for Disabled Persons, Disaster Relief and Calamity Assistance and gender and development.
