Message of the Punong Barangay
We are lucky enough for having obtained the training on Barangay

Development Planning through. But with this, comes the challenge and the
responsibility on our part that is to live up to the expectations of the people.
This is also the beginning of another struggle that, at times gets even more
challenging when coupled with disappointments. But this should not be a
barrier because the knowledge and skills we acquired will enable us to
conquer all problems.
The Barangay Development Plan captures the sentiments and felts-

need of the grassroots. Its realization would translate to a community of
people living with just and lasting peace. However, a plan will only remain
a plan until the people and the government unites in translating it into
tangible results by which people can benefit and elevate their quality of life.
Make a difference and be ready to implement your plan to the hilt.
Lastly, we sincerely thank all those in one way or the other helped to
make the Barangay Development Plan possible, but not just thru this, we
firmly believe that we must enlist you as partners for the realization of the
development plan of the Barangay within the target period on
implementation.

Foreword
A Barangay Development Plan is a 3-year comprehensive

multi-sectoral development plan that is put together through an
inclusive and parcipatory approach headed by its development council and
approved by its sanggunian. It is an official document of the barangay that
specifies policy options, programs, projects and activities that are intended
to contribute to the over-all achievement of the barangay’s development
goals and objectives.
Every barangay has a profile that shows us its current situation as
well as its history. A barangay profile shows prevailing issues and concerns
in the locality that serve as data in the formulation of a Barangay
Development Plan. A plan with a budget therefore is the very way we bring
down services to the grassroots level in order for their constituents to know
that their government is working for them.
With all these dynamics, the men and women of Barangay Palmera
have performed their share towards achievement of these aspirations.

Acknowledgement
For the warm and pivotal help of the Barangay Development Council,
Barangay Officials, the Department of Interior and Local Government, and
the community who shared their valuable time during the consultation
meetings.
To all of you, I would like to pay thanks for the invaluable aid at
several key points that help transformed the hopes, dreams, directions and
inspiration of the community from there into written form.
Of course, it is my best hope that the basic indispensable participation

of the Honorable Members of the Municipal Council for its approval and the
support of the “Honorable Municipal Mayor Hector L. Ong”, shall help shape
the contents and spirit of this plan into reality.

CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND OF THE BARANGAY
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
1.1 Rationale
The legal mandate for the formulation and adoption of a Barangay

Development Plan is Section 106, LG Code of 1991 otherwise known as the
Local Government Code which states that a Barangay Development Council
shall “formulate medium-term and annual development investment
programs…”
Local government units are mandated to provide basic services to

promote the overall development of the community and its people.
However, it is reality that most rural communities do not have the financial
capability to implement the identified demand driven programs and
projects. Hence the need to prioritize the projects in order to maximize the
utilization of limited funds.
The plan is primarily aimed at presenting and appreciating the

existing situation by the barangay people themselves, analyzing the
situation using standards and other means of measurement to come up
with identification of needs and corresponding interventions.
The participatory approach in plan formulation was used giving

weight to the data and experiences shared by the workshop participants.
The data and information were provided by the people themselves and
processed using the PRA tools. However, in spite of this, we still cannot
avoid mistakes and deficiencies. This effort is just the beginning of an
organized and orderly journey towards development.

1.3 History of the Barangay
In the year 1950, Barangay Palmera was only sitio of Barangay

Catigbian which is called sitio Gadgad from Barangay Proper. People
residing in the area were coming from the Municipality of Pambujan and
Laoang. When the population in the area increased to a higher number, the
inhabitants was created between the residents as to where do the barangay
should be a part of since the residents coming from the Municipality of
Pambujan were interested that the newly created Barangay will be under
their jurisdicrion, but people who were from the Municipality of Laoang were
reluctant on this matter since they also have a plan of making the newly
created Barangay as part of the Municipality of Laoang, where they came
from Laoang, finally, the decision to make Sitio Gadgad a barrio of the
Municipality of Laoang.
By the year 1960, Thru Legislative Action, Barangay Palmera was

established through the unified effort of the Municipal Officials, under the
administration of Romulo Giray, The Municipal Mayor that time.
The distance of the Barangay site was about 8.5 km away the
National Road which is situated in Barangay Camparanga, Pambujan,
Northern Samar.
The total land area of the Barangay is 400 hectares which is partly
plains, hills and mountains. The area for School site and Barangay site was
acquired by the Barangay through donation from a philanthropist who was
not known by the inhabitants of the area.
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
Land Area and Classification
Brgy. Palmera had a total existing land area of 776.6006 hectares.

Agriculture had the largest piece of land which had 688.4816 hectares.
Barangay Palmera is situated on a flat terrain to rolling terrain.
The area was drained by Palmera Creek and tributaries. Moderate to

high flooding (.60m – 1.10 meters) was expected adjacent to the creek
banks during prolonged intense rainfall. Moderate to High Flood
Susceptibility Rating is foreseen in the barangay. Designating areas for
wetland and mangrove restoration and serve as part of the eco-tourism
network shall help the area.

Legislative Performance
Barangay Palmera Legislative Body has an active status as mandated
by law to ensure the welfare of its constituents. The recently concluded
elections where the people of Palmera have chosen a new set of leaders
attributes to the minimal number of policies passed and approved in 2021.

Peace & Order (BADAC/ BPOC/ BCPC)
The Barangay Drug Abuse Council and Barangay Peace and Order
Council in Palmera are both functional. Both councils meet regularly and
when the need arises. Palmera has also recently reactivated its Barangay
Council for the Protection of Children and has been working closely with
other agencies to ensure that the programs intended for the welfare and
protection of children will be realized.
Disaster Preparedness (BDRRMC)
Palmera has a functional BDRRMC and has an existing BDRRMP. The

DRR Plan needs to be updated and revised to suit the recent developments
of the community. The BDRRMC has some basic facilities such as a vehicle,
identified evacuation areas and support facilities. It does not have an early
warning system and an incident command center. It does not have a team
of trained and fully equipped personnel who can respond to disasters. It
does not have a communication infrastructure that will be used during
calamities where broadband and Internet connected is not possible.
Waste Management
The Solid Waste Management Council of Barangay Palmera is

functioning and working, they meet at least once a month to tackle policies
and waste-related concerns.
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
Solid waste management system in Palmera is still a household

concern where degradable wastes are dumped in backyard compost pits.
Households are encouraged to segregate with corresponding penalty to
each violation although the Barangay LGU has not imposed a precedent
case of penalty imposition to an erring individual/ household.
The Barangay LGU has the capacity to collect garbage with a

designated multipurpose vehicle but waste collection is limited to non-
biodegradable waste including recyclable waste. The cycle time for waste
collection is once a week.
The Barangay has Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) which is a grave

concern given the Barangays LGU’s are mandated by law to establish and
operate MRF’s.

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
2.1 Climate Information
This task involves collecting and reviewing important climate change

information relevant to LGU-Laoang. Using the book: Climate Change in
the Philippines developed by PAGASA, as reference, the Municipal Planning
Team was able to generate the following seasonal changes, in: (1)
Temperature, 2) Rainfall, and 3) Extreme events for 2050 and beyond.
The following is a summary of climate change projections for the

Philippines for the mid-range emission scenario according to PAGASA
(Climate Change in the Philippines, February 2011):
Seasonal Temperature Change:

i. All areas of the Philippines will get warmer, more so in the
relatively warmer summer months.
ii. Mean temperatures in all areas in the Philippines are expected
to rise by 1.8 ˚C to 2.2 ˚C in 2050.
iii. Likewise, all seasonal mean temperatures will also have
increases in these time slices; and these increases during the
four seasons are quite consistent in all parts of the country.
iv. Largest temperature increase is projected during the summer
(March-April-May or MAM) season.
Seasonal Rainfall Change:

i. Generally, there will be reduction in rainfall in most parts of the
country during the summer (MAM) season.
ii. However, rainfall increase is likely during the southwest
monsoon (June-July-August or JJA) season until the transition
(September-October-November or SON) season in most areas
of Luzon and Visayas, and also during the northeast monsoon
(December-January-February or DJF) season, particularly, in
provinces/areas characterized as Type II climate in 2050.
iii. There is however, generally decreasing trend in rainfall in
Mindanao especially by 2050.
Extreme Temperature Events:

i. Hot temperatures will continue to become more frequent in the
future.
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
ii. The number of days with maximum temperature exceeding 35

˚C (following value used by other countries in the Asia Pacific
region in extreme events analysis) will be increasing in 2050.
Extreme Rainfall Events:

i. Heavy daily rainfall will continue to become more frequent.
ii. Extreme rainfall is projected to increase in Luzon and Visayas
only, but number of dry days is expected to increase in all parts
of the country in 2050.
iii. Table 1 shows the projected increase in number of days with
extreme rainfall (defined as daily rainfall exceeding 300mm)
compared with the observed (baseline) values.
Changes in Annual Mean Temperature.

i. Significant warming will occur in the Philippines by the middle
of the current century.
ii. The country’s average annual mean temperature is projected
to increase by 1.7 ˚C to 3.0 ˚C by 2050.
iii. Higher temperatures are generally expected for all regions of
the country by 2050, the rates doubling compared to 2020
levels.
iv. Warming will be worst in Mindanao supposedly the country’s
food basket.
Changes in Annual Mean Rainfall.

i. The projected change in annual precipitation ranges from -2.4
to 16.4% in 2050.
ii. Increases in rainfall are particularly evident in most areas of
Luzon and Visayas, while Mindanao is projected to undergo a
drying trend.
iii. Average annual rainfall increase over most parts of Luzon and
the Visayas is expected to be 1 to 16% by 2050. In contrast,
there is a general reduction in regional annual average rainfall
in Mindanao (2 to 11% in 2050).
Sea level Rise.

i. One of the most significant potential impacts of climate change
is sea level rise that may cause inundation of coastal areas and
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
islands, shoreline erosion and destruction of important

ecosystems such as wetlands and mangroves.
ii. As global temperature increase, sea level rises due to a
thermal expansion of upper layers of the ocean and melting of
glaciers and ice sheets. According to the NOAA laboratory for
Satellite Altimetry (which provide estimates of sea level rise
based on measurements from satellite radar altimeters), sea
level rise for the area around the Philippines has ranged from
6 to 10 mm per year since 1993.
iii. Given the same rate the expected sea level rise (with 2013 as
base year) would be 22 to 37cm for 2050 (NOAA).

2.1.1 Hazard Inventory
There are six (6) identified hazards to potentially affect the

municipality, and these are: tropical cyclone (popularly called typhoon),
flood, rain-induced landslide, ground shaking, drought, and riverbank
erosion (Table 2).
Typhoons are experienced every year and affects almost all parts of
the municipality; depending on the nature of the typhoon, onset can be
slow or fast and susceptibility is high. Flood occurs yearly due to the heavy
rains brought by typhoon or the torrential rains during Amihan period, with
mostly the riverside and lowland areas highly susceptible. Typhoon and
torrential rains also cause landslides with moderate to severe effects to
mostly the upland and riverside areas. Ground shaking also occurs every
year at intensity VII and above with all the barangays experiencing medium
susceptibility. Riverbank erosion is observed every after flooding and also
even during dry days causing moderate to severe effect to the natural
environment and affecting mostly the riverside areas. Drought, on the other
hand, is experienced approximately once every five years causing moderate

to severe effects to all regions especially the agricultural and woodland

areas of the municipality.

2.1.2 Records of Previous Disaster
The record of past disaster events will provide a better understanding

of hazards, specifically, the pattern of occurrence, observed or experienced
magnitude/intensity, and areas that are often affected. The analysis of
disaster records will generate information that hazard maps do not contain
such as number of casualties, affected families and individuals, and cost of
damages to houses and infrastructures.
Typhoons that hit Laoang in the past were all felt by the
Laoanganons, most especially the following: Typhoon DInang, Typhoon
Milenyo, Typhoon Yolanda, Typhoon Ruby, Typhoon Urduja and Typhoon
Nona. The most disastrous of them all, for the Laoanganons was Typhoon
Nona as shown in the Table presented below.

Aftermath of Typhoon such as flood and landslide contribute even

more to the suffering and deprivation felt by the Laoanganons. Low-lying
areas such as the flood plains in Hangtud Valley and Bayog Valley and the
barangays alongside Catubig River would remain deeply submerged weeks
after the devastation of the typhoons. Crops and livestock would be
damaged and millions in Pesos shall be the cost of destructions.
Barangays along coastal areas suffered also from flooding, especially

during the height of devastation by the typhoon in the form of storm surges
damages houses, boats, crops and livestocks.
2.2 Potential Impacts on Exposed Elements
2.2.1 Climate Change Impacts
The municipality of Laoang is vulnerable to the impacts of climate

change. Table 5 shows that in all of the 56 barangays, all systems of
interest and sectors: population, natural resources, critical facilities, lifeline
facilities and urban uses – have specific effects from these changing climatic
conditions. With an average of twenty (20) tropical cyclones entering the
PAR every year and with projected increase in intensities, negative impacts
in low lying areas and along rivers are expected to increase in incidence of
flooding, riverbank erosion, and rain-induced landslide.
Impacts on Population
Scientists claim that climate change is one of the greatest threats to

human health in the 21st century. Yet these impacts to health are still not
well recognized. The increase in atmospheric temperature may potentially
increase the number of heat stroke/heat exhaustion cases and may cause
casualties among the population especially during the months of March to
May, considered as the “summer” or dry season. Since there will be an
increase in the number of hot days, and therefore, increased number of dry
days, longer period of drought may lead to decline in water supply (potable
and for general household use) affecting the health and sanitation of the
people. Diseases and infestations associated with reduced sanitation,
especially due to scarcity of water, may also increase and potentially affect
highly dense communities in the municipal center. Increased temperature
will result to increased number of hot and dry days and demand for
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
electricity will likewise increase among population which would need

additional budget in households to avail of these services.
On the other hand, a significant increase in the amount of rainfall and

in the number of extreme daily rainfall events both in 2020 and 2050
projections, may cause flooding and rain-induced landslides, which can also
affect the health of the people. There will be an increased risk of water-
borne and vector-borne diseases and may also result to scarcity of potable
water since there will be a possible intrusion into the water sources and be
contaminated by floodwater, or the water source itself may be directly
affected by the landslide.
Livelihood and economic activities of the people will also be affected

especially with the effects of either flooding or drought to their sources of
livelihood, particularly agriculture. Food production (both agriculture and
livestock production) will negatively be affected that may redound to lesser
economic opportunities thereby reducing the people’s capacity to meet
their basic needs for food, which may result to poor health conditions.
Cultural activities and school (educational) activities will be disrupted

during these periods; and if sustained for longer days, would need
appropriate alternative system of educational delivery.
Typhoons/supertyphoons may cause flash floods, landslides, and/or

riverbank erosion that would require increased need for search and rescue
capabilities. Such extreme climatic events will expose the highly susceptible
areas and sectors to greater damage of properties and even lives. This will
cause widespread displacement of people in the communities and result to
increased demand for food, clothing, medicine, and shelter. The people will
experience abject poverty in these conditions that intermittently destroy
the natural resources, especially their main source of livelihood, farming.
Ground shaking and earthquake-induced landslide may result to

possible casualties, injuries, and death, and therefore, an increased need
for search and rescue possibilities.

Impacts on Natural Resource-based Production Areas

Whether increased temperature or increased rainfall, natural-
resource-based production areas will be affected. Increased number of hot
and dry days due to increased global temperature may result to longer
period of droughts leading to decline in water for agriculture and livestock
production resulting to reduced productivity and eventually, reduced food
supply.
Similar effects to natural resource-based production areas may result

if there is increased rainfall and extreme daily rainfall events causing
frequent flooding, rain-induced landslide in hilly agricultural areas, and
possible pest outbreaks leading to damage in crops.
Flooding and heavy rainfall will result to riverbank erosion affecting

agricultural areas along the river; not only damaging the crops but may
also reduce the area for agricultural production.
While ground shaking has lesser effect on the natural resources,

damage to crops and agricultural production may result in certain areas
that may be affected by earthquake-induced landslides.

Impacts on Critical Point Facilities
There will be possible disruption of services and non-functioning of

critical facilities due to flood and/or landslide during wetter seasons. Roads
and bridges can be damaged due landslides, whether rain-induced or
earthquake-induced, and may be closed to traffic. Flooding may also cause
these roads and bridges to be unpassable.
Typhoons with strong winds and heavy rains can cause damages to
critical government buildings thereby disrupting the normal functioning and
delivery of basic services. Electrical poles can be toppled by strong winds
resulting to power and communication interruptions.
Damages to these critical facilities and the resultant disruption of

services would need increased cost of repair, reconstruction, retrofitting,
and maintenance. It would be best to adopt hazard-resistant design of
buildings that would need replacement and/or reconstruction.

Impacts on Urban Use Areas
Residential areas, government services, recreational and tourist

facilities can be greatly affected by these climatic and geologic hazards. The
disruption in power and communication services can have great impacts on
the aforementioned urban uses.
Increased temperature resulting to increased number of hot days

would mean increased demand for electric power and cooling purposes.
Such demand for electricity may also be considered as high risk to fire
incidents especially in residential areas.
Typhoons/supertyphoons, extreme daily rainfall events, flooding,

ground shaking and related geologic hazards would require increased need
for early warning systems and search and rescue capabilities of
communities and mandated agencies.
Damages to residences would need increased cost of shelter, and

repair assistance of public areas

2.2.2 The Exposure Database
The exposure database provides baseline information pertaining to

the elements at risk. Elements at risk refer to population, assets,
structures, economic activities and environmental resources which are
located in areas exposed to potential impacts of climate change and
damaging hazard events
The exposure data shall provide the location, vulnerability/sensitivity
and adaptive capacity attributes of the exposed elements which are
necessary information.
Ideally, each element must be geo-referenced and accordingly
reflected on a map. This will facilitate overlay with hazard maps and maps
depicting impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise, which will be
the basis in estimating the exposed elements expressed in terms of area,
number and/or unit cost
In preparing the exposure database, maps are prepared per barangay
reflecting the types of hazards said barangay is exposed or would be
exposed to.

The table above showed that from 80 of the total number of

households have no access to sanitary toilets which can be a serious
problem on health and sanitation. The barangay must provide a communal
sanitary toilet or implement a program that would provide sanitary toilets
for all affected households. The Sangguniang Kabataan must also consider
prioritizing this concern since it is also affecting the welfare of the youths.

needs repair and upgrading since some of its lines were already broken.
The barangay also needs to make its BWASA functional so that it can
sustainably operate on its own.
