Soil type of the barangay is Ubay clay, steep phase (354) which is represented by cogonal areas which are roughly rolling, hilly, and mountainous. This soil phase dominates the roughly rolling to hilly and mountainous areas. It is severely eroded with plenty of igneous and dolomitic rock boulders as outcrops. This area is well-dissected by deep ravines, intermittent rivers and creeks. Hydrogeology

The quality of water of Barangay Cawayan Interior is rated poor to fair with sediments content. This is due to the fact that their main source of water comes from shallow well/dugwell and deep well. Only 4.81% of the total households have access to safe water coming from deep well and community water system which is sourced out from its spring located in Purok 1. Shallow well/dug well are considered unsafe for drinking purposes because it is prone to contamination from animal and human activities.

Roads

Road is significant to development since it facilitates the mobility of people and agricultural products in the area. Primarily it promotes economic activity. However, the lack of economic opportunities due to absence of basic infrastructure and utilities such as electricity and accessibility through roads left the residents in Cawayan Interior with insufficient livelihood source and has caused considerable out-migration.

Barangay Cawayan Interior is the most difficult barangay to reach.

Basically, road is non existent, and only the mountainous trails are being used in going there through 2.5 kilometers of trekking and hiking in its mountainous terrain. It is far more difficult to get there during rainy days. Only trails are used in going there, hence only motorbikes can reach the area. With the on going construction of the coastal road, it is hoped that this barangay will have an all weather road.

Within the barangay, roads are

rough and some parts are graveled. Concrete pathways are commonly present in the barangay which links its puroks and sitios. In Purok 1, which serves as the center of the barangay, there is a pathway connecting it from the elementary school.

Drainage and Sewerage Drainage and sewerage are practically non-existent. Natural drains from rain flow directly to the open canals which can cause soil erosion especially in upland barrios. Drains from household consumption also go directly to open canals causing water flow displacement.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITIES

Barangay Road


Other Infrastructures

Electricity As an upland barangay, access to electricity is difficult especially with the given situation of the area with no roads connecting to any other barangays. Considering its distance with mountainous and rocky terrain, the Masbate Electric Cooperative (MASELCO) found it impractical to put up an access for electricity in the barangay with only few households to serve. A 5 kva generator set owned by the barangay which serves as the source of electricity of few households which operates from 6 PM to 10 PM only. The majority use kerosene lamp during night time.

Transportation

Because the road is non existent in the

barangay, no vehicles of any kind can reach the area. The barangay can be reached through a walk from barangay Batuhan and Cawayan Exterior.

Non biodegradable wastes such as plastics, cans and bottles also came

from household consumption. The residents usually reuse the plastics from mineral water and bottles. This is being used as water containers or other useful materials. Cans are used as flower pot or other decorative and functional materials.

Agricultural wastes comprises only of dried leaves, coconut and corn

husks and palay grains. Fertilizer wastes are considered very minimal. Storage and Collection

The garbage management of the barangay is practiced through burning of biodegradable wastes and recycling. Composting and recycling is commonly practiced by the residents because garbage collection services of the city cannot reach the upland barangay. Initiatives are being taken by the people on how to manage their garbage. Forest Areas The barangay has no forest areas, although there is still some part which is covered by trees particularly those located in the highland areas of the barangay.

Rivers

The barangay has a river named Cawayan River. No reported exploitation or degradation of this river yet. So far, it is being utilize for washing of clothes, bathing and other domestic use by the people.

Summary of Issues/Concerns and Challenges

1. On proportion of households without access to safe water.

The main problem of the barangay is concerned with water and san itation. Majority of the the populace have limited access to water for safe drinking. Of 148 households, 140 or 95% of this don’t have a safe water source.Majority of the infrastructure projects are devoted to water development starting next year. This is done to ensure that the barangay has adequate supply of water use for domestic activities and drinking purposes.

Construction of Level II water project (communal faucet) that will cover all the puroks.

Regular chlorination of open dug wells as well as deep and shallow wells.

Regular monitoring of water sources

2. On proportion of households with income below poverty threshold

Poverty is the utmost concern of the barangay. Out of 148 households, 106 or 72% of this are living below poverty threshold. Insufficient livelihood opportunities and attitude problem limits the residents in improving the quality of their lives. Thus, better economic alternatives are being introduced through the program of cooperative development, livelihood assistance, pre and post harvest facilities distribution and skills training development.

Encourage potential product development which is abundant in the barangay such as coconut and bamboo.

Skills training on automotive, welding, electronics and driving

Sessions on character development

Promote and encourage small scale business or enterprise

Provision of livelihood /capital assistance

As an agricultural community, provision of pre and post harvest facilities will of great help to the farmers.

Introduce new farm technologies

Encourage backyard raising of farm animals


3. On proportion of children 13-16 years old not in high school

Since there are no existing secondary school in the barangay, the students go to the nearest barangay of Malinta. However, out of 86 number of population which is 13-16 years old, 68 or 79% are not attending high school. This posted an alarming social problem of the barangay because more than half of the secondary aged population are not in school. Generally, financial constraints have always been the major problem of the family. In case of Barangay Biyong, children aged 13 to 16 years old are already helping their parents earn a living. Instead of getting to school, most of them works in the farm and some are house helper.

Provide livelihood programs so that parents can afford to send their children to school.

It may pose health and environment hazard to the community because improper waste disposal will bring several diseases to the populace. Every year the city government distributes steel bars, cement and toilet bowls for the construction of sanitary toilet. However, some are indifferent towards the program.

The Barangay council together with the midwife and health workers must intensify the monitoring of the construction of sanitary toilet to the recipients of the materials from the city government.

Conduct IEC on the importance of sanitary toilet

The barangay can also allocate funds for the construction of common septic tanks.

5. On proportion of households who have income less than the poverty threshold level.

There are 88 or 60% of the households in the barangay who have income less than the poverty threshold level. This may account to the number one problem of the barangay which is poverty.

Encourage backyard gardening for vegetables

Provide livelihood or capital assistance to the identified households

Out of 86 number of population which is 13-16 years old, 68 or 79% are not attending high school. This posted an alarming social problem of the barangay because more than half of the secondary aged population are not in school.

Improved quality of social services is one of the major concerns of the city. It aims to provide all the essential needs of the people particularly to those who are underprivileged. The social service is geared to reach even the remotest barangay of the city. Services such as family counseling, gender and development, pre marriage counseling, day care services, senior citizens, and self employment assistance and emergency assistance are provided.

The barangay has a concrete day care center which is located at Purok 1.

It serves as the venue for children aged 3-6 years old for early development and preparation for early education. Day Care center is the first step of every child’s formal educational requirement towards primary education. It provides basic learning for child’s comprehension, familiarity in schooling and social interaction among other children. This stage specifically prepares the child for better understanding in acquiring knowledge. Thus, the Day Care Center serves a significant role in building the early appreciation of the importance of education among every child. The surroundings and atmosphere of the center largely contributes to the enthusiasm of children to go to the Day Care Center. The place must be conducive and encouraging because the children naturally need pampering in order to keep their attention. In 2006, a total of 40 day care children were enrolled in the day care center.
