OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN

FOREWORD

In order to determine the responsiveness of the Comprehensive Development Plan

(CDP) and the Baranggay Development Investment Program (BDIP) to current socio-economic
realities and needs of the people of Baranggay Palingon, the Office of the Baranggay Chairman
commissioned in February 2019 an independent review of these documents.

Furthermore, the integration of HPC ̶̶ PRIDE development agenda of the Baranggay

Government under the current Administration becomes imperative in order to provide more
focused approach in the delivery of interventions to provide better delivery of service to the
people. The HPC PRIDE development agenda stands for Housing and Health Services, Poverty
alleviation, Community development thru Peace& Order; Revenue Generation; Infrastructure
and Investments; Disaster Preparedness; and finally, Education and Environment Protection.

Subsequently, technical workshops and consultations for the CDP and BDIP were
conducted in various sessions in 1st quarter 2019 involving the broad range of stakeholders that
culminated with the adoption of the CDP and BDIP by the Baranggay Development Council
during its Full Council meeting.

With the full support of the Baranggay Council, as well as the City Government of
Calamba, we all look forward to better implementation of the various programs and projects
contained in the CDP and BDIP.

Introduction

1.1 Rationale
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 communities like
the Barangays, 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.

1.2 Objective of the Plan

The plan is primarily aimed at presenting and

appreciating the existing situation of the barangay and the
people themselves, analyzing the situation using standards and
other means of measurement to come up with identification of
needs and corresponding interventions.

1.3 Scope of the Plan

The scope and coverage of the plan is limited to the
barangay of Palingon, Calamba City, for the period of five (5)
years. The plan is composed of two (2) parts, the barangay
profile which is the result of the participatory rural appraisal
which defines the collective ideas of the residents in terms of
the traditions, and resources. The second part is the barangay
development plan that starts with the expression of the
collective vision and mission and presentation of their sectoral
programs and projects.

Barangay Profile

2.1 Historical Background

Barangay PALINGON is located on the lakeshore of

Laguna De Bay and it was previously part of Barangay Lingga
(est. 1930’s). It was declared and established as a barangay
through Provincial Resolution dated seventh of December,
1953. The Teniente Del Barrio Enteng Mercado, who with the
other local leaders, prompted to separate due to the
increasing population and firm request from its residents.

The origin of the name “PALINGON” is still uncertain

though popular belief says, it is a spin from the words “Linga” or
“Lingon”. Others disagree but it seems to be the most logical
explanation.

The first settlers of the place were mostly from the

Población and nearby barangays, while other came from
municipality of Cabuyao. People came in small group of
families and followed through the years by next of kins. Most of
them were farmers, “kutseros”, ducks’ raisers and members of
the Fishfolks communities. They were dependent on Lake
resources for their sustenance. Barangay Palingon is home to
old trails from Población where the national hero Dr. Jose Rizal
once used when visiting Laguna Lake.

The feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, held every 29th day of
June, is still shared with Barangay Lingga. Also, a historical
event is shared with Barangay Lingga and Sampiruhan every
12th day of February. It is to commemorate the senseless and
tragic death of more than 500 men during the Japanese
Occupation. They were forcefully held out of their homes and
brought to Barangay Real where they were stabled by
bayonets and burned alive.
5
Page
 The residents had already elected their leaders even before
Palingon was officially declared as a barangay. When it
eventually became a barangay in the early 1960’s, it followed
the electoral system of national government in the barangay
elections. Majority of the leaders of Barangay Palingon have
served for two to six years during the time when the nation was
under Martial Law and no election was conducted then.

At present, Barangay Palingon covers 15.67 hectares of land

that can be classified according to use: agricultural, residential,
school site, Eco-tourism, barangay plaza and land used for
social service.

Today, residents of barangay are mostly employed in

companies and other institutions and some working overseas.
Other sources of living are entrepreneurship and public
transport, while there are still families that rely on fishing and
livestock.

Palingon residents earn more in order to spend for their basic needs
such as food and household maintenance, education of their
children, taxes and utility bills which include electricity, water,
telephone or prepaid cards, religious obligations, medicines,
cosmetics particularly for the women, transportation,
communication allowances, socials or entertainment and savings.

C. Livestock / Poultry

A number of households in the barangay are engaged in raising

hogs. It has become customary already being part of Palingon’s
culture and tradition, specifically intended to be part of the
preparations for the annual fiesta that requires a lot of food being
served. Although some residents are into hog raising, some raises
chicken basically for commercial consumption and fighting cock
breeding. Our residents think that raising chicken is easier because it
does not require a large area.

D. Marine Products
1. Production

Only five percent (5%) of the total labor force of barangay Palingon
are fishermen, these people still play a very vital role in the economy
of Palingon. Fish production is not the bigger issue for the Palingon
fisherfolk but the eventual degradation of the marine resources.

2. Types of Fish

The lake waters of Laguna de bay used to produce abundant

marine resources. In the early 1960’s and 70’s, one could catch
varied species of fish abundantly like the bangus, biya, karpa,
kanduli, ayungin, tilapia and hipon. The fisherfolk themselves
presented some general reasons for the scarcity of such marine
resources as follows:

Changes in climate and temperature

Illegal fish fence and pollution

 E. Credit

1. Sources

Credit facilities in the barangay include the small sari-sari stores,

cooperatives and the lending institutions.

Majority of the resident’s resorts to credit from small stores, believing

that the interest is lower as compared to other existing credit
facilities. There are cooperative and card bank lender that residents’
avail of a fair interest rate. Banks and other lending companies are
for big and emergency needs of our residents.

2. Credit Utilization

Normally, food is the most basic need that one has to look for in
order to keep on living. Others borrow money in order to invest the
amount on small-scale enterprise. Education costs are significant
especially during the months of June and October when classes start
to open. Other small needs include medications, clothing, monthly
dues, employment if the applicant needs to pay for the placement
fee for overseas employment and at times, for house repairs.

 F. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

1. Health

a. Water and Sanitation

Based on gathered social census data of the barangay, one of the

identified problems of the community is on the supply of potable
water. Majority of our residents wants to have their own water pipes
connected directly to their houses rather than relying on jetmatic
pumps or backyard faucets.

There are households in the barangay that are still without comfort
rooms. This has caused the barangay council to worry about the
unsanitary condition of these families. Other households’ resort to
burning of their garbage in response to the ordinance issued by the
Barangay Council that prohibits improper waste disposal particularly
along riversides and coastal areas. But based on data, there are still
households that opt to throw their garbage on river side.

b. Common Diseases

Common diseases in barangay Palingon include the following; fever,

common colds, cough, diarrhea, rheumatism, high blood pressure
and cases of malnourishment. There is usually a high occurrence of
common diseases like rheumatism during the months of January and
February, and likewise during the months of May, June and
December. Diarrhea is common during the months of May and July.
Common coughs occur in June and December. Common colds
accompanied with fever usually occur the months of June and
December, too.

Accordingly, the improper garbage disposal of the residents and the

lack of hygienic practices generally cause these diseases. As per
report of the Barangay Nutrition Scholar, one child is found to be
suffering from 3rd degree malnourishment.
17

 c. Health Facilities and Services

Palingon has its own Health Center and a Midwife. Together with the
assistance of the Barangay Health Workers, they serve the
community particularly the children by way of Operation Timbang,
Deworming, Vitamins Distribution, DOTS and Birth Control Program,
Supplemental Feeding and Assistance for Disabled Persons.

According to the report of the Midwife, the insufficiency of

medicines and other relevant medical supplies and facilities hinder
quality service. The feeding program suffers from the lack of funding
from concerned agencies.

2. Education

As regards educational facilities, Palingon has its own Day Care

Center with its skilled Day Care Worker. It also, has an elementary
school and a secondary integrated school. The residents have a
moderate literacy rate.

3. Organizations

(SEE BARANGAY ORGANIZATIONAL CHART – FIGURE 3)

What makes the barangay socially active and productive are the
new barangay organizations. Most residents are satisfied with their
functions and services.

4. Role of Women

Basically, women in Palingon are good household keepers. From

morning till night, they take charge of all the chores. Based on data
however, their time should be supplemented with productive
activities such as any livelihood projects that might also help the
family economy.

 G. DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION
1. Barangay Council

The present political system and structure in Palingon as reflected in

the leadership of Barangay Chairman HPC and the members of the
Barangay Council have resulted to a good amount of performance
satisfaction based on the assessment made by the residents.

The people of Palingon, agreed that there is no such thing as a

perfect government. However, our local barangay leaders deserve
a rating of good, which is thought to be fair and just.

2. Active Citizenship

Based on the data presented, the residents of Palingon are also

remiss of their social responsibilities. They can’t even follow the
ordinances enacted in the community simply because they refuse to
cooperate during occasions like attendance during barangay
public hearing, employment caravan, and civic services.

The Sangguniang Kabataan is also found to be inactive. The

members are non-cooperative.

H. INFRASTRUCTURES

The service map of Palingon tells the kind of problem that they have
in terms of infrastructures. The renovation of their Day Care Center
20

and Barangay Hall need immediate attention. Their basketball court

likewise needs improvement. The increase in population and with less
Page
land area might be a problem for the residents of Palingon, so they
are thinking of putting up medium rise Housing project. They also
need to rehabilitate their drainage system. They also feel safe if
additional streetlights could be installed along the main streets and
Closed Circuits Cameras (CCTV) and sound system can make them
socially aware.
