Zamboanga del Norte in Western Mindanao (Region IX). It is located about 102km
from Dipolog City; 16 km from the Municipality of Sindangan; and 44 km from the
Municipality of Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur. Siayan is a second class Municipality, it
occupies a land area of 49,475 hectares (ha). It is politically subdivided into 22
barangays. Of these, only one is urban: Barangay Siayan Proper (Poblacion). The rest
are rural (refer Table 1.1)

Climate

Siayan has Type IV climate based on the Modified Coronas Classification with rainfall
more or less evenly distributed throughout the year. This type resembles Type II since it
has no dry season. There are two pronounced seasons: wet season which starts from
June to December, and the dry season from January to May. The average rainfall is
66.3mm, while the relative humidity ranges from 80 percent to 89 percent. Average
o
mean temperature is 25 C. The Municipality does not fall within the typhoon belt.

Topography and Drainage

The terrain is hilly to mountainous, especially the northern and southern part of the
Municipality. It is accessible to a number of waterways providing various resources to

4|Page
 the populace: Piao River, Sindangan River, Diongan River, Tangil Spring, Dumaga
Spring, Mangilay Spring, Bantal Spring, and Lake Mangilay.

Geology

The Zamboanga Peninsula is part of the northeast trending Zamboanga-Sulu Ridge arc
(curved chain of islands convex toward to an open ocean). This arc links Central
Mindanao and Sabah. The peninsula is underlain by metamorphosed sediments of Late
Paleozoic to Mesozoic rocks upon which ophiolitic suite is thrusted. Intrusive bodies,
volcanics and younger sediments overlie the older rocks. This portion of the Philippine
archipelago is along continental margins referred to as Palawan Microcontinental Block,
which is aseismic - having low to nil seismic activity. It is considered part of the
Sundaland–Eurasian plate. The Zamboanga Ophiolite is Late Cretaceous to Eocene in
age, comparatively younger than the eastern Philippine Ophiolite bodies, which include
the Palanan (Isabela) and Lagonoy (Camarines Sur) ophiolites. Zamboanga Peninsula
has rocky coasts with narrow beaches.

The Zamboanga Peninsula can be subdivided into three units, the North-Central
Zamboanga, Sibuguey Peninsula and Main Zamboanga Peninsula. Municipalities located
in North-Central Zamboanga are Lapuyan, Midsalip, Tigbao, Jose Dalman, Katipunan,
Mutia and Siayan. Alicia and Payao are in Sibuguey Peninsula. Sirawai, Titay,
Tungawan, Kalawit, and Siocon are situated in the Main Zamboanga Peninsula.

Siayan is mainly comprised of rock formations of Oligocene to Late Miocene age. These
are the Oligocene to Early Miocene Sibuguey Formation and Late Miocene Midsalip
Diorite.

The Sibuguey Formation is Oligocene to Early Miocene sequence of metamorphosed

mudstone, sandy shale and sandstone with calcareous shale and limestone
intercalations. It is the most widespread rock formation in Siayan. The formation wholly or
partly comprises all barangays. The Late Miocene Midsalip Diorite is an intrusive mass
of crystalline rock, which occurs as stocks and dikes. It is predominant on the western
boundary underlying portions of Dumpilas, Polayo, Sayaw, Diongan, Pange and
Macasing.

Existing Land Use

The municipal land area was subdivided into five major land uses: agricultural,
grassland, forestland, built-up areas and miscellaneous areas (refer Table 1.2).
Approximately 44 percent are forest areas. The agricultural areas totaled to 34.83
percent of the total municipal land area. It should be noted that the delineation of the
general land use categories overlaps, and so the respective land areas do not add up to
the municipal land area.

II. Socio-economic and Cultural Features

Demography

In 2010, the total population of the Municipality of Siayan is 34,989 with an annual
population growth rate of 0.38% percent (2000-2010) much lower than the
provincial growth rate of 1.87 percent. The average household size is 5.0, same as
the national average of five. There are more male persons (50.64 percent) than
female (49.36 percent) in the Municipality.

Majority of the population (89.37 percent) reside in the 21 rural barangays, the rest
are living in the urban Barangays of Barangay Siayan Proper (Poblacion) (Refer
Table 2.1)

About 70 percent of the total Municipal population are indigenous peoples consisting
mainly of the Subanen tribal groups.

Local Economy

The Municipality of Siayan is mainly agricultural in structure. The primary means of

livelihood in Siayan is farming. However, due to low productivity income is not
adequate and Siayan is experiencing food crisis. The high cost of farm inputs and the
fast depletion of soil fertility due to erosion have worsened the poverty condition of the
local farmers. The NSCB has declared Siayan as the poorest municipality in the
Philippines.

Some of the people thrive on livestock and poultry raising, employment in the local
government or small retail stores/service shops, mineral ore mining and sand and
gravel quarrying. The agroforestry sector provides a few means of livelihood. Rice and
corn are Siayan’s main agricultural produce. The few economic opportunities would
imply that household income is limited and seasonal. The households have very limited
capacities to generate more income and better livelihood.

Infrastructure

 Transportation Network

The Municipality has limited road network facilities. Barangays are the most extensive
but these are rough earth roads which become inaccessible during rainy season. As
of 2015, roads paved with concrete had an aggregate length of 6,745 km; roads paved
with gravel, 72 km; and the earth roads, 114.775 km. The means of transportation in
the municipality are Jeepneys, Motorcabs, Motorcycles, Cargo Trucks, Public and
Private Vehicles.

 Power Facilities

As of 2015 there are only 450 Households within the urban centers were availing of
power supply form Zamboanga del Norte Electric Cooperative (ZANECO).

 Education

Preschool facilities (day care centers) are available in 15 barangays. On the other hand,
there are twenty three (23) elementary schools distributed across the Municipality and

8|Page
 six (6) high schools strategically situated in the barangays of Gunyan, Mangilay, Moyo,
and Siayan Proper (Poblacion).

 Health

The Municipality has only one (1) Municipal Health Center or Rural Health Unit (RHU).
Out of the 22 barangays in the municipality there are 21 Barangay Health Centers. In
most cases, patients requiring confinement and medical treatment are being brought to
the nearby municipalities and urban centers or even as far as Dipolog City where there
are hospitals and medical clinics.

Water is available 24/7 but during peak hours only 50% of the Household in the service
area are being served by the Level II and Level III water systems. The Level III water
system was managed by the Municipal LGU.

Water Quality Risks and Contamination

1. Water Quality Test, Treatment and Monitoring

 Level 1 - water quality test every 6 months

 Level 2 - bacteriological test done monthly; physical and chemical test done
once a year. Water quality problem: presence coliform, fecal and E. Coli bacteria
 Level 3 - bacteriological test done monthly; physical and chemical test done
once a year. Water quality problem: presence coliform, fecal and E. Coli bacteria

12 | P a g e
 2. Extent of water Quality Monitoring

Mostly of the Level I, II & III spring sources are not protected, air vent of the spring
boxes are unscreened, unrepaired leaks along the pipelines, no proper drainage and
presence of unsanitary human practices.

Conducted water treatment every two (2) months for Level I facilities, disinfection of
Level II & Level III water systems.

3. Risk to Water Facilities/Systems

 Level 1 - prone to contamination, landslides, drought, no proper drainage

 Level 2 - prone to contamination, landslides, drought, no proper drainage,
abused/cut transmission lines, reservoir cracks, illegal tapping
 Level 3 - prone to flood, landslide; damaged reservoir, transmission pipelines
and distribution lines

Gender Sensitivity (Women, Children, Senior Citizens, PWD, and other

Vulnerable Groups)

No mention on Gender sensitivity

Issues and Challenges on Water Access

1. Sustainability of the facilities/systems

 No regular treatment of water for Level I & Level II facilities/systems

 Pipelines (transmission and distribution) are exposed and prone to
contamination and illegal tapping

2. Technical (staff, materials, design flaws)

 Lack technical staff, materials and equipment for operation and maintenance
 No proper maintenance of water facility.

3. Financial

 High water tariff for Level III water system

4. Management Structure

 No management structure in place particularly for Level II water system.

Summary of Findings and Observations

 Majority of water source are not safe for drinking

 Presence of coliform, fecal and E. coli bacteria
 The barangays are prone to drought, floods and landslide
 Most water facilities (Level II) cannot be sustained due to lack of available staff,
management structure, and proper water tariff collection system

The percentage of IPs population in the municipality is 37%.

Belief and practices of the IP Group in the municipality

After giving birth, water from the source (TUBOD) is placed on the head. Usually they use
bamboo to fetch water from the source for this purpose. They say that is also a way to thank

20 | P a g e
 the goddess (DIWATA) and to be able to pay for her goodness they throw coins directly into
the source.

For Houses, place water in a bottle and hang it in the door. People in the house as well as
those who will enter will feel calm and cold. They also believe that it drives away evil thus
anyone who has a bad plan will be stopped.
They all agree to take good care of the source for once it will not be taken cared/ dirty of it
will eventually dry. Meaning water now will be available farther from the previous site.

No bathing, no washing because of the scarcity of water supply among elderly. The problem
lies also on their own Culture for they believe that every morning they have to heed early to
tend their farms. It would be a waste of time to clean, anyway they will toil the land all day.
Along the way they might have water sources nearby. Basically for drinking. Mostly rivers are
for washing.

Issues and Challenges

 Scarcity of water supply
 Cultural beliefs, elderly finds cleaning is a waste of time
 Practice open defecation
 Poor sanitation and hygiene practices
 Incidence of water-borne diseases including Capillariasis
