History of the Barangay Commented [H1]: State the sources

Santolan has been the official name of the barrio from as early as 1789 to the present. There
are three popular theories as to how Santolan got its name:

The first states that the name was derived from Sto. Thomas de Villanueva who is the patron
saint of the barrio. The Augustinian sant and bishop were chosen by the people at the
suggestion of the Augustinian parish priest of Pasig.

According to the second version, the name was formed from the names of Sto. Tomas, Luis
and Antonio, the latter two being the prominent residents of the barrio. The first syllables of
Sto. Tomas and the initial letters of Luis and Antonio were combined to form San-to-lan.

The most credible explanation, however, is that some brangays of ancient Pasig were
according to the most prominent tree associated with the place. In “Santolan”, it was the
Santol tree. The other barangays were called “Maybunga” after the Betel Palm tree,
“Caniogan” after the Coconut tree, “Manggahan” after the Mango tree and so on.

The barrio embrace the sitio along the bank of the Marikina River on the western side known
as Bayanbayanan and SitioEscombro (“mackerel”) on the northern part. It is Escombro where
the Metropolitan Water District of the colonial government to supply water to Manila and its
surrounding areas established a water-pumping plant known as the “Santolan Station” in
1878. Also considered part of Santolan is half of the site called Manggahan lying south of the
barrio.

In the year 1798, the name of the barrio’s Patron saint was engraved on the bronze bells
donated by Don Luis and Don Antonio Victorino, the sons of Don SeverinoVictorino, who were
the first settlers of the place. The old church was inaugurated on September 16, 1808, as
indicated on the coat-of-arms from Santolan that was displayed at the “Fourth Christianization
Centennial Exhibit” in 1965. The barrio fiesta used to be celebrated on September 18 but it
was later moved to September 22, the true feast day of Sto.Tomas Villanueva. The fiesta is a
homecoming event for all Santoleños.

Notable among the original families of the barrio were Don SeverinoVictorino and his, sons
Don Luis and Don Antonio Victorino.
Fr. Blas Florentino (1791 – 1861) was the first native priest from Santolan. He was ordained in
1819. Retiring in 1842, he continued to work as coadjutor of Pasig. He remained a resident of
Santolan until his death in 1861.

Father LupoDumandan was the priest who was a native of Santolan.

Santoleños who served as Mayor or Governadorcillo of Pasig during the Spanish regime
included Don EusebioFlorentino (1809 – 92); Cipriano Santos Y Florentino(1881 – 83); and Don
PatricioDumandan(1890 – 90).

Other who held important positions in the barrio were Don Mariano Cruz, Pedro Pasco, Pedro
Regino and Sebastian Reyes. SenonaLabuguen, Dr.Bernadino Cruz and Exequiel Robles were
also included among the prominent residents of Santolan at present.

Events, that probe the Santoleños bravery, occurred during the resistance against Spanish and
Japanese hegemony. On August 29, 1896, the Katipuneros attacked “Pulyorista” (now the site
on San Juan Elementary School). The group was headed by Cabo Feliciano del Rosario, a
Santoleño. They were brought to Fort Santiago. In March 1897, del Rosario was executed in
the Luneta together with other Katipuneros.

The Barrio also had its share of valiant guerrillas during World War II. Many men joined the
guerrilla movement led by Jose Sityar and Captain Bernardo of the “Marking Faction”. They
helped in liberation the barrio during the mopping-up operations against the Japanese
struggles. Antonio Victorino, Juan Victorinoand Moises de Leonwere also among the guerrillas
that fought bravely against Japanese. Thus, many streets in the barrio named in their Honor.
The “bahay na bato” owned by Father Lupo Dumandan and built in 1870, was considered one
of the most important landmarks of Santolan.
Today, the site donated by saintly priest occupied by the Sto. Tomas de Villanueva High School,
a co-educational private school managed by the priest. New schoolhouse replaced the old
house during the administration of Father Alejandro Vermorel. However, the school became
operational during the time of Father Nico Bautista in 1966.

Another historical building was the Old Vista of Santolan, which was built in 1798 and
inaugurated on September 18, 1808. On its site now stands the present church, which was
blessed on November 9, 1953 by the Reverent Father Conrado Arciaga.

Another landmark is the monument to the unknown heroes of Santolan which, according to
the surviving guerrillas, symbolizes the heroism shown by their colleagues during World War
II, especially in 1944. This is located in front of the Santolan Elementary School.

Barangay Activities

Pakalog Festival

On New Year’s Eve, residents of Barangay Santolan gather on Evangelista Street to celebrate
the coming year. Instead of spending money on pyrotechnics, the people are encouraged to
spend their money on food to be shared with their neighbors during the occasion. They share
a sumptuous New Year’s Eve feast, the centrepiece of which is the most revered of all Filipino
food, the letchon (roast suckling pig). More so, the barangay rents loud brass bands and sound
systems to replace the firecracker's sound. Residents and guests gather for a public feast,
street dancing, and fireworks display. They have a parade lead by the Santoleño band followed
by different social communities. This is the modern day Pakalog Festival. The Pakalog Festival
is celebrated every 31st of December in Barangay Santolan . The festival started in 1996 under
the leadership of Barangay Chairman Briccio “Echie” Ramos. It aims to establish the spirit of
camaraderie among the Santoleños as well as to instil the values of unity and cooperation
among them.

The term “Pakalog” was derived from a dish which was popular with the Santoleños back in
the day. As Santolan was then basically made up of rice paddies, people would fish “dalag”
from the paddies. They would put the “dalag” alive in a clay pot together with other
ingredients. Since the “dalag” was being cooked alive, its twitching movements while being
cooked would make the clay pot literally shake or “kalog” in Filipino. Thus, the term Pakalog.

Methodology

The process of participatory development planning is a continuous, cyclical, and dynamic. The element
of participation is present in all stages.

It all starts with a participatory situational and needs assessment and should always end with a
participatory evaluation.

Figure 6. Participatory Development Planning

Barangay Santolan, with the previous two Field Integration groups, have initially dwelt with the
first two circles in the diagram above (See Figure 6). This FIP group focused on the third circle
in the cycle, while making use of the inputs of the groups from the first two groups and circles
as crucial inputs and references to the participatory planning process.

Barangay Santolan’s facilitation of its community development plan is a four-fold process. It

started with a baseline review from the secondary sources and existing literatures provided by
both the barangay and turned-over by previous groups, as well as primary sources from
passively participating in the Barangay Assembly and from the one-on-one and group
discussions with key personnel and representatives of the community.

Gathering of data is mostly through employing qualitative strategies and methodologies,

usually through key informant interviews and focus group discussions. The main qualitative
strategy used is through sectoral planning workshops using the problem - solving model (see
Figure 8).

An important unique tool also used is the employment of enabling mechanisms to the
community with a good mix of ready and accessible services per sector. Small focused planning
workshops as a strategy enabled the facilitators to identify the sectoral groups who will be part
of the core planning team of the respective sectors. It also provided the community ample time
to focus, discuss the needs, issues, problems, goals and objectives, propose solutions through
projects, and identify the challenges for each sector – all of which are addressed in the
straightforward problem - solving model used in the workshops.

The raw data gathered from each sector are then processed through content analysis. The
gathered information is analyzed for common and deviant themes. Such themes are processed
per sector to identify the key priorities, while taking into account the emerging data that could
play an important role in the sector.

The results are compiled in matrix and presented focusing on the proposed projects and sub-
activities, with its corresponding potentials for partnership with other agencies, and capacities
of both the sectoral committee governing and is in charge of the resources, as well as the
people who are directly affected by the proposed programs and projects.

SANTOLAN PASIG SECTORAL CONDITION

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Urban Poor

Santolan’s urban poor is considered one of the most organized sectors in the community with
the existence of an active federation that includes a variety of neighborhood associations.
Socio-economic problems such as home and land problems, squatting syndicates, relocatees
returning to distressed areas, unemployment of transferred relocatees, lack of clear
agreement between receiving and sending LGUs, problems with order and tranquility are
among the problems identified by this sector.

The main advocacy of this sector is to have the title or the rights in their place of residence.
Currently, the major challenge faced by the organization is the pipelined project of the
National Government to build a bridge from the other side of the river to the barangay. This
project is projected to cause displacement of people.

Health

The barangay health facilities and services were felt by a significant number of constituents.
The medical assistance present in Barangay Santolan are ambulance service, free medicines
and vaccines, medical missions, clean-up drive, feeding program, and drainage sanitation
projects. However, the community still recommended provision of more medicines, financial
assistance, and better emergency response system in the barangay.

Also, after consulting more organizations by the second FIP batch, specifically representatives
from persons with disabilities (PWD), senior or elderly, homeowners, youth, and tricycle drivers
and operators, health concerns were more categorized and identified based on the people’s
needs. Their issues urged the council to propose different projects or suggestions that would
better improve their barangay.

For PWD, there is a need for a Super Health Center and installation of dedicated doctors that
could cater their needs and assist them in their certification as PWD. Also, there is a need for
facilities such as rehabilitation center, improved Special Education (SPED) that includes
Occupational Therapy (OT) and speech therapy. Lastly, roads and other structures should be
PWD-friendly. While for the young generation, they find teenage pregnancy and mental health
utmost concerns. This is also the same with women in general, especially to programs that
could help them avoid cervical cancer or common reproductive problems.

Gender and development (GAD) should also be prioritized. The senior citizens also validated
the need for more available medicine and doctors. Facilities such as X-ray machine and the 24-
hour service is also important. Even a day care center is deemed important. They also see their
involvement in the activities in the barangay which are helpful in their health and well-being.

Peace and Order and Human Rights

Barangay Santolan’s initiative on putting up CCTV was felt by the community, however, other
issue that they raised is the installation of street lights and the availability and more active
barangay patrol mobiles. This was attested by 15% of representatives in the survey conducted
by the first FIP batch. Even though these facilities were felt, peace and order and safety are still
the topmost concerns of the community. Barangay Santolan is situated in a flood prone, hence
people are concerned with floods especially urban poor areas that live near the river.

Aside from flood, people are also concerned with drug problems, as there are a number of
community members who use drugs and a number of crimes recorded in the barangay.
Included in the issues on safety is the unsafe streets and illegal parking. In line with this, people
suggested faster emergency response, disaster response training for all residents, continuation
of the “dike project”, more street lights, stricter implementation of curfew especially for the
youth, and also a suggestion on additional relocation and demolition assistance.

Human Rights awareness for the barangay workers and the community are also greatly
needed. Series of information exchange should be conducted to consult various sectors
particularly women, children, PWDs, and senior citizens. However, understanding and
awareness of Human Rights pose a challenge for the barangay council and the Pasigueños. The
Human Right-Based approach to development is vital to the realization of human rights for all.

Education

As regards educational facilities, Pasig City in general gives generously to the public schools in
their jurisdiction. Almost everything that the child needs in school is well provided by the city.
For barangay Santolan they offer scholarships, financial assistance, and free school supplies,
which are also a felt service by the community. There are daycare center in the barangay that
cater the needs of younger children.

Despite the presence of a public school, such as Santolan Elementary School, the City as well
as the barangay benefits, and scholarships, there are still a number of school age children that
are not attending school.

Another aspect of education that are deemed necessary to include in the services of the
barangay is the capacity development of sectors, especially of PWD, which includes training of
sign languages. Though the community are aware of the provisions of basic education there
are still some who do not avail of education, such as Alternative Leaning System or ALS.

The community’s need of scholarship cuts across different sectors. The barangay may see this
as an opportunity of the diverse population that they have. Some excel in sports, where youths
and other athletes are proposing for assistance as well as scholarship, this goes the same with
the youth who are talented in certain art, such as dance, etcetera. These children sought for
support in whatever endeavor that they will excel.

Further, some are still struggling with reading, but this can still be improved through after
school program and tutorial services, or summer classes that can be a major continuous project
of the barangay.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Livelihood

Barangay Santolan, as a community situated in a highly urbanized setting, is surrounded by a

myriad of business establishments ranging from the ubiquitous sari-sari store to small and mid-
scale, and branches of big and international conglomerates.

Its socio – economic profile indicates that there are more than 500 business establishments
within the community. Based on the latest available statistical records of the barangay (2015),
almost half of the population comprises of the working age group (25-59 years old). This could
be viewed as both a potential for increased local economic activities, and an added burden to
the local government to ensure available jobs for its people’s productivity.

Based on the previous documents on the barangay and as validated by the observations and
interactions with the community members, socio- economic profile of the community
members are generally clustered into three: those living within subdivisions, those residing in
the interiors, and those who are temporarily residing for work purposes. The first two
categories are often those who are officially registered as citizens of the barangay. The profile
of the last group are those of who lease apartments for a minimum of a year within the area
for the purpose of being adjacent to their respective workplace.

Just like any other urban community, livelihood and source of income of the people are varied.
The role of the barangay is to ensure the inclusivity of the opportunities with a focus on
providing projects and mechanisms for the vulnerable groups to be able to participate in local
economic activities.

Vulnerable groups such as the PWDs, senior citizens, women’s, and single parents’ groups have
expressed their desire to be economically productive. They have initially identified
opportunities to be employed, even on a part-time basis, doing clerical and unskilled jobs with
the big companies within their community. The decision and implementation solely depend on
the governance of the private businesses, a big factor of which depends on the economic
profitability and productivity.

The barangay, through its Livelihood Committee, has been proactive in engaging community
members with various available livelihood packages for training and small enterprise cascaded
by various government agencies.

As part of the barangay committee’s initiative to promote the mindset of small-scale

businesses as an alternative to jobs and employment, the barangay has been hosting a weekly
gathering of the members of BEST – a people’s organization within Barangay Santolan whose
primary goal is to provide alternative income to its members by the various handicrafts they
are making such as rags, crafts from tetra packs and plastic wrappers among others.

One major activity that has been recently budgeted by the barangay is a liquid dishwashing
making trainings. The initial produce of those who have trained are being sold to immediate
personal contacts, friends, and relatives.

Representatives of the Livelihood Committee emphasized on their goal to explore, build, and
develop their own people’s initiated cooperative. The cooperative, though supported by the
barangay in the initial stages of its establishment, will be owned and managed by the people.

It will be built using the participatory planning process where everything from the nature, to
the policies, and the capital investment will be decided upon by the people.

Aside from this main program, other sub-activities that came out and that could also be part
of the activities of the main program is the establishment of a federation and organization of
the business establishments.
The organization of the business establishments, and eventual appointment of representatives
can provide opportunities for a more organized and sustainable negotiations of the local
government with the private businesses in terms of employment and filling in the gaps of the
supply chain of the possible product or service of the people’s cooperative, especially on the
marketing side of the equation.

Tourism, Arts, Culture

As one of the thirty (30) barangays of the City of Pasig, Metro Manila, Barangay Santolan has
thrived to establish its own identity and brand.

The brand had its share of successes that the “Pakalog Festival” oftentimes precede the name
of barangay. Pakalog Festival, in a nutshell, is an annual celebration that started more than a
decade ago in 1996 and coincides with New Year’s Eve. Community members gather at the
main throughways of the Evangelista Street to celebrate the coming year.

Aside from the lights, sounds, fanfare and camaraderie, the festival is famous and anticipated
by community members and tourists for the long spread of the famous Filipino lechon (roast
suckling pig). This festival was initiated to discourage households and individuals in lighting
hazardous firecrackers to celebrate the New Year.

The name of the festival also presents historical value with its origin coming from a local
delicacy of the community cooked by the farmers working way past lunchtime at the field. The
mud fish, usually caught at the rice paddies, are boiled, fried, and cooked with a sour tamarind-
based soup. The delicacies name “pakalog” is derived from the actual action of mixing and
shaking the ingredients in one pot.

The barangay is also active in other religious and non-secular activities that continues to bring
the community members together such as street dancing, Halloween Costume Contests,
among others.

The barangay’s culture, tourism, and arts scenes are flourishing compared to other barangays
in Metro Manila. It has leveraged on its people’s talents and skills and tapped on the available
talents to build the brand of the community of what it is today.

What is needed is to organize the activities, plans, and programs and plan out carefully and
systematically, as well as implement programs and projects with a purpose and rationale. This
would avoid distributing the available man power and resources too thinly and exhausting
resources on endeavors that doesn’t have significant impact on the people.

One main program is to revisit and rethink how the recent successes of publicity and tourism
of the Pakalog Festival can transmute to economic gains and livelihood opportunities for the
people.

The local government should see the sectors of arts, culture, and tourism as not just icing on a
cake but rather a secret ingredient that would make ones community unique and more
palatable to investors for businesses, that can provide long-term local economic opportunities
for the people.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE

Solid Waste Management

Although Barangay Santolan has a designated group in-charge of maintaining cleanliness of

the barangay surroundings, the community still face issues with poor management and
disposal of garbage. The lack of people's discipline and the lack of adequate IEC materials on
proper waste disposal were brought up at the community discussions.

There are claims of people from the villages leaving their garbage outside the scheduled
garbage collection. The lack of barangay’s notice/announcement of the schedule of the
garbage collection truck is an identified contributing factor to this issue.

In other occasions, children paid by households to bring their garbages for collection, are
disposing them in random areas. Mixed waste are collected by the garbage trucks owned by
Pasig City. Further, there are also claims of people disposing dead animals at the Marikina
River.

The barangay doesn’t have its own Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), which is otherwise
mandated by the Solid Waste Management Act of 9003. The law states that each barangay is
required to have its own MRF to serve as solid waste transfer station or sorting station, drop-
off center, a composting facility, and a recycling facility. As an alternative, the barangay
currently has an agreement with a junk shop, which collects recyclable materials.

At present, the Waste Management Committee of the barangay has no clear structured due
to constraints of manpower. Consequently, the committee wasn’t able to build a
comprehensive program for barangay on waste management; produce and distribute IEC
materials; and regulate the proper administration of waste disposal.

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

The barangay is exposed with the risk of flooding and earthquakes due to its geophysical
nature. The northern part of Santolan, or what is colloquially called as "baba", is surrounded
by the Marikina River. This is the area where most families belong to marginalized
communities. The barangay is tagged to be within the West Valley Fault Line, which also poses
a threat to the community.

Even though communities in "Baba" perceive that they are prepared with the occasional
flooding, they still recognize the need for further training in preparation for future calamities
or disasters, whether natural or man-made. Preparations also include the need for
infrastructure and household equipment like functional evacuation centers and first-aid kits
and go-bags. The evacuation centers should also provisions for toilets, decent sleeping spaces
that ensures privacy.
The threat of health hazards are also among the problems identified during flooding events
namely leptospirosis, dengue, diarrhea, fever, and cough, among others.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Some of the major infrastructures visible in barangays are large buildings, residential and
business establishments, bridges, sidewalks, drainage systems. Small infrastructures, on the
other hand, include street lights, waiting shed, urinal and pathways. Based on the
consultations, among the issues identified is the absence of the hazard signs construction
areas.

The slow project progress of rehabilitation and construction of roads also blocks and slows
down traffic flow.

Transportation

Interior roads are the usual areas of traffic congestion, especially during rush hours.
Representatives of the tricycle operators and drivers association (TODA) complained the
current one-way scheme. They claim that it reduced their daily income significantly by
increasing the distance that have to travel for a round trip and decreasing their number of
passengers in a day. The organization intends to the review and is clamoring for a review of
the ordinance.
