I. INTRODUCTION
The objective of the cluster Enterprise Development, Agricultural Productivity and Economic
Promotion (Economic Cluster) is to formulate a Community Development Agenda anchored
on the Mission, to provide income generating projects and to provide livelihood projects in
the area and Vision of modernizing the standard of living condition of the people and to
achieve development, progress and prosperity in the community formulated by the
Barangay officials of Barangay Bilao that will support the Municipal Development Plan and
how this will relate to the Philippine Development Plan and to the more long term vision,
Ambisyon 2040. This paper will also discuss the Stakeholders Profile affecting the Economic
Cluster, the Methodology used and the findings or results of our study to support our
recommendation and the Group Reflection Report during the 5-day Community
Engagement Module.
II. METHODOLOGY
The group conducted an ethnographic fieldwork or immersion which entails living in with the
community for five days and four nights, participating and observing the daily activities and
the behavior of people in Barangay Bilao. The group also conducted interviews and survey
to gather information required for this study. We also used secondary data from the
Barangay (registered businesses, estimated monthly income of households) and from the
Municipal Agriculture and Tourism offices (crop production data, registered fisheries and
profile, tourist arrival data for Sapian, and tourism plan) from Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) Negosyo Center (existing food processors in Sapian and interventions). For
the interview, the following sector groups were chosen as sample: i) Barangay, Municipal
and DTI Negosyo Center officials; ii) Farmers and fisher folks; iii) informal vendors (trade);
iv) Service sector (both formal and informal sectors) v) Housewives, sari-sari store owners
and on-call skilled workers and vi) Cooperative’s representative.
On the other hand, the group surveyed households (Annex A) from the following Sitio:
Kamanok, Proper, Laguit and Agkaningay to determine the nature of employment or job,
income/earnings, other sources of income and other related information. Due to limited time
and resources to conduct a random sampling survey, the group used purposive sampling by
validating the secondary data available to determine the information mentioned above. The
result of the survey is discussed in Part III.
III. RESULTS AND FINDINGS

Total 781 100 28 100.0
2016 Barangay Data 2018 Primary Data Average
Household Size 4.09 4.54
Based on the result of the survey, households with monthly income above P15,000 which is
14.2% of the sample of 28 households are College graduates. On the other hand, we noted the
huge deviation of the survey from the 2016 Barangay data for households earning P2,000 and
below. This might be due to the differences in the definition of income, sources, coverage and
the method used by the Barangay to gather the information. The survey also noted that those
households with more than 2 members working or employed have higher monthly income.
Moreover, the survey shows that average number of households increased to 5 from 4.
Comparing the data with 2015 Annual Poverty Threshold for Capiz, which is P21,146 we found
out that 57% of our sample are poor (see Annex 2) which is much higher compared to the
poverty incidence of Sapian of 29.7% in 2012. We note that there might be a potential bias
towards high poverty incidence in the result since the group survey concentrated on households
with low income.
b. Findings from Interviews and data gathering
1. Many unregistered businesses in the Barangay level particularly
fishpond operators, bakery, poultry and other micro enterprises.
2. Lack of Barangay Development Plan and the need for a reliable and
credible data
3. Barangay Bilao is not yet part of the Tourism Development Plan
especially for the rehabilitation of Mangroves as a tourist attraction as
well as the Kipot Cave at Sitio Agkaningay due to lack of political will,
distance and accessibility
4. No facilities for tourism promotion, such as pasalubong center to
promote goods in its raw form (buko, sugar cane, ginger and other root
crops, among others)
IV. SECTORAL PROFILE OF STAKEHOLDERS, CHALLENGES AND ISSUES IN
GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT The group identified the following
stakeholders involving Economic Cluster. The details of the SPSCIGD analysis is
presented in Tables 2 and 3.
1. FARMERS AND FISHER FOLKS
The agricultural lands and fishing industry of Brgy. Bilao are not maximized due to lack of
capital, farmers do not own the land, insufficient supply of water, traditional methods of
farming, lack of advanced farm equipment, presence of crop diseases, low price of
agricultural products, absence of crop rotation, lack of skills for market and value-adding
activities, etc. As a result, the farmers and fisher folks have low income, low agricultural
productivity, wastage of some harvested crops, which in turn affect the quality of life they
have and the level of education reached by their children.
2. LABORERS, INFORMAL VENDORS, UNEMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS
(HOUSEWIVES, OUT-OF-SCHOOL YOUTH)
Most of the respondents interviewed were high school undergraduates, which limits their
opportunities to have high-paying jobs. Laborers, such as construction workers and drivers,
were on an on-call basis. Informal vendors and sari-sari store owners have limited
knowledge on how to manage their businesses and just use their daily sales to augment
their daily household expenses. There were also very few skills and livelihood trainings
availed by the residents of Brgy. Bilao. Also, not all families maximize the land in their
surroundings to plant vegetables for their own consumption. Thus, with the limited income
they earn, even the provision for their daily food intake is affected.

VI. GROUP REFLECTION REPORT ON THE CHALLENGES, LESSONS AND COMMITMENTS TO GOOD GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC SERVICE
D. GROUP REFLECTION REPORT ON THE CHALLENGES, LESSONS AND COMMITMENTS TO GOOD GOVERNANCE
WHAT WE LEARNED WHAT WE MUST DO
1. FARMING
Despite shortage of food, not all families maximize the land in their surroundings to plant vegetables for their own consumption.
We recommend the Project Gulayan sa Paaralan at Bakuran to maximize the use of land resource by promoting vegetable production in schools and homes. This will ensure that sufficient supply of food baskets/vegetables for every family and inculcate among them the value of industry
Harvested crops were not processed for additional livelihood and employment opportunities.
Provide appropriate capability building programs and access to capital to help families have additional sources of income.
Due to lack of advanced farm equipment and skills in modern farming, the farmers resort to traditional farming, thus reducing productivity
We recommend the Agricultural Productivity Enhancement Program which includes technology assistance and hybrid seed dispersal among others
The ABALA Agrarian Reform Cooperative (ABALA ARC) has very limited capital and its roles and potential to extend support and assistance to the community of farmers and fishermen
We recommend the following to the Coop Board:
Specialized training for officers and management staff
Continuous membership education
Honest and competent leadership and management staff
Viable cooperative direction and business operation
Increase volume of business
Undertake marketing and business alliance
2. EDUCATION
Due to meager resources, families prioritize spending for their daily sustenance, thus neglecting the value of education. Also, instead of going to school, children help their parents earn money.
Provide appropriate capability building programs and access to capital to help families have additional sources of income.
Those with very little education has a mindset of “living by the day.” They just settle in earning money which is enough to cover for expenses per day
A training on having an entrepreneurial mindset should be conducted to widen the minds of these locals to more possibilities and ensure that business
WHAT WE LEARNED WHAT WE MUST DO
thinking that they won’t be able to earn more because of lack of education.
potentials in Barangay Bilao are maximized. The training should also include how to handle money wisely to prevent them from spending the capital for their personal needs, and allocate it to expand their businesses.
There were respondents who are currently working, as well as housewives, who wanted to undergo skills training, however, only weekday training schedules were available, which is in conflict to the work of the husbands, or the everyday chores of the housewives.
A survey should be conducted on what industry the residents of Brgy. Bilao would want to pursue. The results of the survey should be processed and prioritized according to the available resources of the locality. Skills training schedules should be flexible enough to cater to the needs of the interested participants.
3. DATA GATHERING
Knowing the correct situation of the environment before coming up with the right proposal for the development of an area is of great importance. The environmental scanning is a very important phase of the Community Engagement Module that it should be given attention to know the situation of all the stakeholders of the community. Sectoral concerns which may differ from one area to another should be properly analyzed so that no one will be left behind. Credible plans for the improvement of the community should be anchored on a sound situational analysis of the area.
The generation of correct data on the situation of a community should be part of the planning process. The community should set up a system for the generation of critical information, that will aid in the formulation of plans and programs, for the improvement of the situation of the community, which should redound to the improvement of life of everyone, leaving no one left behind, which is one of the basic principles of the Sustainable Development Goals
VII. RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION The SPSCIGD and CASGD as well as the Group Reflection can serve as guide for the
community of Bilao through its officials in the formulation of a Barangay Development Plan to
support the realization of its Mission and Vision anchored on the Municipal, Provincial and
Regional Development Plans up to the Philippine Development Plan and the Sustainable
Development Goals towards the achievement of Ambisyon Natin 2040 to have “A Matatag,
Maginhawa at Panatag na Buhay.”
The study also shows the importance of education in uplifting the lives of the community. There
is a high degree of correlation between education and income wherein those who were able to
finish their studies have a higher monthly income thus better living condition.
