2.4 GEOLOGY
The record of the Provincial Register of Deeds shows that the only available mineral element found in the locality is iron (laterite,
magnetite, rutile) which occur in abundance throughout coastal areas of Aklan. Moreover, guano deposit is also found in Tigayon
Cave but of limited quantity.
2.4.1 Soils
5
6. Beach Sandy Clay (801.32). It is devoted to Coconut and Trees.
The seafront coastal barangays of Andagao, Bakhaw Norte, Bakhaw Sur, Buswang New, Buswang Old, Briones, Caano, Mabilo,
Nalook and Pook have sandy loam, Sta. Rita clay and Hydrosol type of soil. On the other hand, riverine barangays like Estancia,
Linabuan Norte, Mobo, Poblacion, Tigayon and Tinigao have Sta. Rita, San Miguel and Mountain Clay considering its proximity to
the Aklan River.
The interior of Barangay Nalook has a combination of Bantog Clay, Sta. Rita Clay and Hydosol.
Soils suitable for diversified crops are estimated to be 1,111 hectares which is considered good (have properties favorable
forrated use). For tree crops, 1,555 hectares are declared highly suitable or good (alluvial soils). The present area which is
approximately 1150 hectares planted to rice is predominantly classified as highly suitable for rice and diversified farming and the
rest of the area (435 hectares) is considered fair.
a. Alienable and Disposable Lands – The entire Municipality of Kalibo is classified as Alienable and Disposable (A & D)
land. However, there are identified mangrove sites along the coastal area.
b. Timberland –The protected Mangrove Area, the Mangrove Reforestation Project of the municipality located at
barangays Bakhaw Sur, Buswang Old & Buswang New which started on January 30, l990 with an initial area of 50
hectares and has expanded to more or less 220 hectares after 15 years of existence due to natural regeneration and
additional planting.
Kalibo takes pride in the implementation of its Mangrove Reforestation Project - in the great success story of transforming
mudflats into a productive and diverse mangrove forest jointly undertaken by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR) and the LGU-Kalibo. It has grown and flourishedover time under the stewardship of Kalibo Save the
Mangrove Association (KASAMA), a community-based association charged to take care of the project.
c. Wildlife Sanctuary – Within the declared mangrove reserve in Barangay Buswang New, a 20-hectare wildlife sanctuary
was established. This serves as home for birds and other animals that rely on nature’s blessing.
6
d. Parks/Playground and Other Recreational Spaces – There are an existing area of 42.40 hectares used as parks and
playground in the community that includes basketball/tennis court, stadium, auditorium and public plaza.
The Municipality of Kalibo is predominantly an agricultural domain occupying the biggest portion of the total area. This is
the reason why the major thrust of the Local Government is making Kalibo as the center of agricultural-based economic
industry and eco-tourism. This land classification is mostly planted to agricultural crops like rice, coconuts, bananas,
corns, root crops and vegetables. Some areas were also devoted to fishpond and backyard livestock production. It is
subsequently followed by built-up classification (comprises residential, commercial, industrial, institutional,
parks/playground, infrastructure utilities and other uses) followed by special uses (quarrying, grazing land and tourism
purposes). Forestland (Mangrove Reforestation project) occupies a minimum area of more or less 220 hectares out of the
total land area. Please see Figure below.

Kalibo has undetermined stock piles of high grade sand and gravel on a sandbar formation at the Aklan Riverbed. The sand and
gravel and other aggregates found in the reverine barangays of the municipality starting from Linabuan Norte to Bakhaw Norte
are said to be the finest kind in the region.

2.7.6 Mammals
There were some whale sharks and dolphin seen at the municipal waters, however, its protection is at risk.
Kalibo Shoreline especially at Barangay Mabilo and the adjacent coastal barangays is believed to be haven for marine turtles. As
proof, some have tangled with the fishermen’s nets. They were later freed back to its habitat after documentation had been
made for their protection.
The municipal shoreline area of the Municipality starts at the Northern part of Barangay Bakhaw Norte to Barangay Mabilo
running on a northeasterly direction. It includes the shoreline facing Sibuyan Sea. The coastline constitutes 7 kilometers dotted
by the estuaries of Aklan River, Sooc River and Andagao Creek all draining to Sibuyan Sea.

Based on the average affective rainfall from CY 2000 to 2014 NIA records, it discloses that there were uneven rainfalls
documented
The Aklan River, which is the major river system of the Province, traverses the municipality of Kalibo from barangays Linabuan
Norte, Tigayon, Tinigao, Estancia, the island barangay of Mobo and Poblacion leading to its mouth covering the three barangays of
Bakhaw Norte, Bakhaw Sur and Buswang Old down to Sibuyan Sea.
At the mouth of the river are two (2) major littoral water bodies, the estuarine deltas (a distinct feature of the municipality) which
have seasonal formation of sandbars depending on the tidal influx.
The main function of the mouth/estuaries of the Aklan River is the receiver of water bodies and serves as the drainage system
crenating in the area. Their water is directed by fresh water drainage from the uplands.
a. Flooding
Table 2.10a Flood Hazard Map
14
Kalibo, having nearly flat features, has experienced occasional flooding especially during heavy downpour. The level of water is
higher when the downpour occurs during high tide affecting the low land portion of Linabuan Norte, Tigayon, Estancia, Tinigaw,
Mobo, Poblacion, Bakhaw Norte, Bakhaw Sur and Old Buswang.
Flooding also occurs in the commercial and built-up areas mainly due to insufficient capacity of drainage facilities aggravated by
uncontrolled dumping or accumulation of street liters. It is a common occurrence that after a heavy downpour, some streets are
flooded with knee-high deep storm water run-off mixed with sewage from nearby residential and commercial areas. However,
flooding subsides after a few minutes.
15
Soil Erosion is common along the coastal barangays. This is due to the wind and sea water interaction while siltation brought
damages to the rivers and one of the causes of flooding in the lowland areas. Based on topography, climate, soil kind and nature of
vegetation, there is natural erosion along the Aklan River bank and other coastal areas of the municipality. Area covered is 3,538
hectares of total land area. However, greatly affected areas are those barangays situated along the span of the Aklan River
covering almost 72.0 hectares as shown in the figure. The latter urgently needs extensive soil conservation measures such as
natural and infrastructure interventions like the construction of revetment walls, spur, dikes, river controls and rip-rapping of river
banks. Consideration lies in the periodic changes of the course of Aklan River and potential damage to crops and properties.
16
3.1 SOCIAL COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERISTIC
Almost everybody in Kalibo is a Filipino. There are several persons of foreign origin (Chinese, Americans and others). Dominant
language spoken is the mother tongue which is Aklanon. A unique language spoken only in the Province of Aklan. Other
languages spoken are Hiligaynon, Tagalog, Cebuano, Kinray-a, Rombloanon and Ilocano, English, Chinese and Korean. English

Pentecostal Missionary and Assemblies of God.
As a bustling Municipality and urban capital of the province, Kalibo has the largest population among the 17 towns garnering
13.93% of the total Provincial population.
This is explained by the rapid in-migration from neighboring municipalities, provinces and even cities because of the socio-
economicpotential of themunicipality wherein better employment opportunitiesand presence of social amenities like light, water,
telecommunications, recreation centers, business centers and educational institutions are basically available and still growing in
numbers.
For this year 2014, the total projected population of Kalibo is 80,138 with a Population Density of 15.79 or approximately 16
persons in every hectare or 1,579 persons in every square kilometer of the area. The whole municipality of Kalibo was already
classified as an Urban Community per 1990 NSO Census of population.
These facts are illustrated by the figure on the next page, showing that the urban center composed of barangay Poblacion and the
adjoining barangays such as barangays Andagao, Estancia and New Buswang has bigger population.
