CHAPTER IV
DATA PRESENTATION
4.1 SOCIO- ECONOMIC IMPACT
4.1.1 ECONOMIC IMPACT
Mental Health and Wellness Center will increase the numbers of professionals working with
mental health by creating opportunities to train mental health workers and volunteers and provide
employments for qualified physician, nurses, social workers and non- professional workers such
as maintenance worker, laundry worker etc. The facility will also provide occupational and
recreational therapy for mentally ill patients, teach them the skills they need for daily living and
working, thus making them more productive and less of a burden in the society.
4.1.2 SOCIAL IMPACT
Mental Health Stigma operates in the society, person with mental disorder often viewed a
violent or mentally insane individuals, creating stigma between the patients and mental health
worker. The people’s perception of mental illness as contagious and non- treatable disease
resulted into discrimination and isolation of person with mental disorder into society. The facility
will provide medical, psychiatric and rehabilitative services for the mentally disturbed constituents
of Palawan, help them develops emotional, social, vocational and intellectual skills they need to
integrate back to society.
Mental illness in Palawan has an annual growth rate of 0.987 (98.7 percent) and it is estimated
that by the year 2025 the numbers of mentally ill in Palawan alone will reach 73475. The fact that
most of us are insensitive about our mental health, the facility will also raise our mental health

awareness. That everyone is at risk of mental- ill health and mental illness is just as severe as
physical illness thus, should be taken seriously. The early detection of mental disorder will help
decrease the burden of the disease. WHO stated, “Health as a state of complete physical, mental
and social well- being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” and that “there is no
health without mental health”.

Page | 2
4.2.1.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
Palawan is the largest province in the Philippines with an area of 1,489,655 hectares
equivalent to 31% of the total land area of Region IV or representing 5% of the country’s
local territory. It is dubbed as the Philippines’ “Last Ecological Frontier”. It comprises 1,780
islands and islets with 1,959 kilometers of irregular coastline, with 9,900 sq. km. coral reefs
(excluding Kalayaan Island), resulting in numerous coves and bays follow-on to 176
fishing grounds and most notable are Malampaya Sound in the municipality of Taytay,
Honda Bay in Puerto Princesa City, Coron Bay, Bacuit Bay in El Nido, Sulu Sea, Kalayaan
and Tubbataha as the largest fishing ground with 33,200 hectares.1
TOPOGRAPHY
Palawan topography consists of highlands and rolling terrains. Palawan is a
narrow archipelago having 45% of its terrestrial surface covered in mountains with
slopes greater than 30%. The local vegetation types include beach forests, tropical
lowland evergreen dipterocarp rain forests, lowland semi-deciduous forests,
montane forests, and ultramafic and limestone forests.2
CLIMATE
There are two types of seasons in the region: summer and rainy. In the western
half of the island (West Philippine Sea on its west), the summer (dry) months are
from November to April while the wet months are from May to October. The eastern
half of the island, located in a rain shadow, has seasons that are less pronounced
but are relatively dry from November to April and is wet during the rest of the year.

The island experiences a short, one to three month dry season; the east coast
becomes progressively drier than the west coast from north to south (WWF).3
4.2.1.2 DEMOGRAPHY
The population of Palawan grew from 139,544 in 1960 to 849,469 in 2015, an increase
of 709,925 people. The latest census figures in 2015 denote a positive growth rate of
1.85%, or an increase of 77,802 people, from the previous population of 771,667 in 2010.4

The City of Puerto Princesa in Palawan, Philippines is located 306 nautical miles
southwest of Manila, 205 nautical miles from Panay and about 250 nautical miles from
Zamboanga. It is bounded on the North by the Municipality of San Vicente and Roxas and
on the South by the Municipality of Aborlan. Its western side faces the South China Sea
while in its eastern coast lays the Sulu Sea. Puerto Princesa City has a total land area of
253,982 hectares making it the largest City in the country. The City is comprised of 35
urban barangays and 31 rural barangays. The total area of the urban barangays is 14,716
hectares or only 5.7941% of the total land area of the City. The largest land area of the
City is comprised of the rural barangays with a total land area 239,266 hectares or
94.2059% of the total land area of the City.5
TOPOGRAPHY
More than half (57.43%) of the total land area of Puerto Princesa City have flat to
gentle slopes, making the City an ideal site for urban development and agricultural
development. Only about 22% of the total land area of the City has severe
limitations for settlements and infrastructure development because of steep slopes
(>30%). Moderate slopes of 8-18%, which can also be developed for agriculture
and low-density housing comprise 15% of the City’s total land area. 6
SOIL TYPE
Lowland soils found in the City are mostly alluvial in formation and are usually
fertile soils; hence they are classified as prime agricultural lands. This type of soil
formation is suitable for irrigation and has potential for good yields of rice. Upland
soils are usually formed in place from underlying bedrocks. They are usually thin

compared to alluvial deposits and are also prone to erosion in the absence of
vegetation cover.7
CLIMATE
The City has two prevailing type of climate. The type that prevails in the west coast
has two distinct seasons: six months dry (November-April), and six months wet
(May-October) with the heaviest recorded rainfall in September, While the lowest
or driest month occurs in February. Coast has short dry season with varying heavy
rainfall months. Dry months have been recorded during the months of January to
April. Recorded rainiest month is September.8
4.2.2.2 DEMOGRAPHY
Based on the 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH), Puerto Princesa City, a
highly urbanized city in the province of Palawan, posted a total population of 222,673
persons as of May 1, 2010. This is larger by 60,761 persons compared to its total
population of 161,912 persons counted in the 2000 CPH. The increase in the population
count from 2000 to 2010 translated to an average annual population growth rate (PGR) of
3.24 percent. This is lower than the 5.79 percent annual PGR of the city between the
census years 1990 and 2000. If the average annual PGR recorded at 3.24 percent during
the period 2000 to 2010 continues, the population of Puerto Princesa City would double
in 22 years. Thirty years ago, the population of Puerto Princesa Citywas only 60,234

persons. This population size is less than 30.0 percent of the population of the city in the
2010 CPH.9
Sex ratio
Of the 216,910 household population in 2010, males accounted for 50.5 percent
while females comprised 49.5 percent. These figures resulted in a sex ratio of 102
males for every 100 females, which is similar to the sex ratio recorded in 2000 (103
males per 100 females).10
Persons with disability
In 2010, around 3,200 persons or 1.5 percent of the 216,910 household population
had a disability. The proportion of persons with disability (PWD) in 2000 was 1.1
percent of the 159,322 household population of the city during that year. The
number of PWD for the same year was around 1,700.
Functional difficulty
Of the 192,497 household population five years and over, 3.5 percent (or 6,815
persons) had at least one type of functional difficulty either in seeing, hearing,
walking or climbing steps, remembering or concentrating, self-caring (bathing or
dressing), or communicating. There were more females (52.1 percent) than males
(47.9 percent) among those persons with at least one type of functional difficulty.
Moreover, of the total 6,815 persons aged five years and over with at least one
type of functional difficulty, 75.6 percent reported difficulty in seeing, even if
wearing eyeglasses. There were 19.7 percent who had difficulty in walking or

climbing steps; 18.1 percent had difficulty in hearing, even if using a hearing aid;
13.6 percent had difficulty in remembering or concentrating; 13.3 percent had
difficulty in communicating; and 7.8 percent had difficulty in self-caring (bathing or
dressing).11
Median
In 2010, the median age of the population of the city was 22.4 years, which means
that half of the population was younger than 22.4 years. This is higher than the
median age of 20.3 years that was recorded in 2000. Moreover, more than three
in every 10 persons (33.8 percent) were under 15 years old. Persons aged 15 to
19 years (11.5 percent) comprised the largest age group, followed by those in the
age groups 5 to 9 years (11.4 percent) and 0 to 4 years (11.3 percent). Males
outnumbered females in the age groups 0 to 14 years and 30 to 64 years. On the
other hand, there were more females than males in the age groups 15 to 29 years
and 65 years and over.12
4.2.2.3 ECONOMIC ASPECT
The major economic activities of Puerto Princesa are Tourism, Agriculture, Fisheries and
Commerce. The major products that the city produces are tourism products and services,
agricultural products (such as, cashew, mango, coconut and their- by products), marine
products (eg. Fresh, dried and marinated fish, octopus, cuttlefish, fingerlings and

4.2.2.4 INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITIES
Roads
Roads are essential to the development of the city, the community is completely
dependent on them for the necessities of life. They provide ready access to community
services including hospitals and schools. In addition, they provided access to and from the
markets for produce. As communication-links’ improve, so does the potential of the
community to move away from subsistence style of living to one where they are able to
buy and sell products and participate in development projects. With a reliable road system,
come public transport, which in turns reduces the isolation in the community and allows
the movement of people and goods.13
Road and Network Analysis
Two national roads connect the City, the Puerto Princesa South Road, which is 56.869
kms. From the Junction 1(km 0.00) to adjoining municipality of Aborlan and the Puerto
Princesa North road extended over a distance of 77.405 kms. 14

Page | 9
Based on total roads constructed in the City of Puerto Princesa, there is a total of 20.992
kms. (3.46%) earth road, while 491.314 kms. (80.91%) is gravelled, 26.42 kms. (4.35%)
asphalted and 68.487 kms. (11.28%) are concrete roads15
Road Condition
Roads and streets in the urban core are generally good (Paved roads substantially free of
defects and requiring only routine maintenance. Unpaved roads needing only routine
grading and spot repairs) and fair (Paved roads having significant defects and requiring
resurfacing or strengthening. Unpaved roads needing reshaping or resurfacing
(regravelling) and spot repair of drainage) except for a few that are rated poor (Paved
roads with extensive defects and requiring immediate rehabilitation or reconstruction –
Unpaved roads needing reconstruction and in major drainage works. 16
Bridges
The city has a total of 23 local and 57 national bridges. Local bridges total length to 270.91
meters of which 13 are timber, while four (4) are bailey and the rest are concrete steel.
National bridges have a total of 1,770.36 meters composed of 995.27 meters concrete,
664.84 meters steel, 9.25 meters bailey and 20.00 meters timber used.17
Drainage System
Both national and local government maintains the existing drainage system of the City.
Side drains and cross drains were provided to catch runoff from road pavements along
national and city roads. Drainage structures are out of reinforced concrete culverts
(RCCP) of various sizes, open CHB canals, open riprap canals, open soil canals and open
15

pre-cast canals. Natural drainage creek forms part of the drainage system in the urban
area Most areas in the City of Puerto Princesa have open type of drainage. Only a few
portion have RCCPs which, can be found along major thoroughfares. The rest of the areas
have open concrete hollow blocks canal, open riprap canal, open pre-cast canal, and open
earth canal. 18
Sewerage System
At present, there are no existing sewerage facilities provided for public use. Water waste
is directly discharged into the ground or open canals. Obnoxious liquid waste is normally
released into individual septic tanks through artificial pipes or channel.19
Power Source
The National Power Corporation (NPC), a government-owned and controlled corporation
was previously providing electricity to the consumers of the City utilizing a power barge
with a capacity of 14.4 MW. Early in 1997, an independent power producer established a
power plant. Since then, the Paragua Power Company, Philippines (PPCP) was the sole
producer of power supply in the City. At present, Delta P, another independent power
producer took over the operations of the plant.20
Water Sources
At present, approximately 71% of the bulk water supply is from springs and 29% is from
surface water. The bulk supply however will soon become insufficient to meet projected
18

demands. Additional groundwater pumping could accommodate additional demands,
however, water quality concerns and saltwater intrusion impacts may likely occur.21
4.2.5 TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES
Motorized tricycles provide land transportation for short distance routes, while for long
distance, jeepneys, multicabs, and buses are the common passenger and cargo vehicles.
Fare varies depending on the distance and length of travel time consumed. There is an
existing public terminal facility provided in the City. The government has implemented the
bus and jeepney terminal at the allotted 0.8-hectare parcel of land adjacent to the new
public market. The said project is accommodating about 1,700 of different types of vehicle
from large buses to tricycles to transport more or less 1,666,305 passengers from different
places in the city and some municipalities in the province. The airport is located at
Barangay Bancao-Bancao in close proximity to the commercial centers and surrounded
by residential and commercial developments. It has a concrete runway of is 2.6 kilometers
long and 45 meters wide. This facility has a total area of 121.39 hectares considerably
capable of handling big and wide-bodied jets for domestic and international flights. There
is one (1) national port in the City, five (5) barangay wharves and two (2) private ports.
Three (3) barangay wharves are within the City proper - in Barangay Matahimik,
Barangays. Bagong Sikat, and Sta. Lourdes. 22
