II MUNICIPAL PROFILE

A Location

Sulop is one of the municipalities in the Province of Davao del Sur. It is a third-
class Municipality with 15,526 hectares of land area and is inhabited by 35,151 residents
based on (PSA) Philippine Statistics Authority. Further, the Municipality is composed of
25 barangays and bounded by the municipalities of Padada on the North, Kiblawan on

is seventeen (17) kilometers away from the commercial center and capital of Davao del
Sur which is Digos City and strategically, it is situated both 72 kilometers away from the
two main economic centers in Regions XI and XII which are the cities of Davao and
General Santos respectively. Detailed Land Capability Map of the Municipality is
depicted in Appendix 1, the map of Davao del Sur showing the Municipality of Sulop is
outlined in Appendix 2, the road network of the Municipality is narrated in Appendix 3.

B Economic Activities and Sources of Income

Since the majority of Sulop colossal lands are agricultural, most of the citizenries
rely on agriculture. Coconut and other high-value crops such as Sugarcane, Mango, and
Banana dominate in terms of area planted while some are into rice, corn, and vegetable
production. The harvests are traded in the local markets while some are delivered and
sold to nearby major economic centers like Digos City and Davao City and even in
General Santos City. Additionally, some of the Sulopians were employed in various
industries located within the municipality and on other adjacent municipalities and cities,
on the other hand, the others were engaged in livestock and poultry production and
fisheries and aquaculture ventures.

C Availability of Public Transport (Land Transport)

The municipality can be easily accessed through different available public

transportation like Public Utility Buses (PUB), Jeepneys, and Vans traversing along with
the Pan-Philippine Highway routing to and from Davao City, General Santos City, and
Malita Davao Occidental. Local road networks are being steered by tricycles and
motorcycles for hire.

III THE PROJECT

A. Rationale

Section 9, Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution explicitly provides that,

“The State shall promote a just a dynamic social order that will ensure the
prosperity and independence of the nation and free the people from poverty
through policies that provide adequate social services, promote full
employment, a rising standard of living, and improved quality of life for all.”

Infrastructure programs are considered the backbone for long-term economic

growth. This is evident on the idea is that the same could increase the productive
capacity of an economy thus creating more jobs, increasing incomes and ultimately
reduce poverty. The ability of an economy to achieve economic growth is determined
upon fundamental factors such as resources available to society as well efficiency of
their use. In other words, infrastructure programs, being prerequisite of any
development in a country is vital to increase economic performance and enhance
competitiveness. In addition to this, the municipality of Sulop envisions quality
infrastructure that will resort to a well-developed community that can be utilized by the

 constituents especially the marginalized sector and other vulnerable groups through
ensuring a passable farm-to-market road in every barangay.

The concreting of the 400 meter Buguis to Tagolilong Farm-to-Market Road is

crucial to the constituents of the Barangay Buguis, Sulop Davao del Sur. This is evident
on the existing poor road condition which greatly affects its inhabitants as well as their
way of living particularly in the cost of carriage of farm produce. This has resulted to a
continuous reduction in quality and price. In order to provide a timely intervention, this
municipality desires to concrete the 400 meter Buguis to Tagolilong Farm-to-Market
Road. However, due to its limited resources and lack of funds, this LGU alone cannot
withstand the necessary expenses to the proposed project. This can only be
materialized if we implore at your end knowing that your office has the capacity to make
this project successful. Therefore, this project proposal was made to ask for a financial
consideration to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) thru
Honorable Governor Marc Douglas Chan IV Cagas, Provincial Governor of Davao del
Sur, in the amount of Five Million Pesos (₱ 5,000,000.00) for concreting of 400
meter Buguis to Tagolilong Farm-to-Market Road in this Municipality, Sulop,
Davao del Sur.

I. Justification

Hereunder are the findings of the present situation of the Buguis to Tagolilong
Farm-to-Market Road which is proposed to be paved.

1. Narrowness of the road only permits one (1) four (4) wheeled vehicle to pass
one at a time;
2. Reaching national highway is time-consuming due to bumpy roads and
slippery pathways during rainy season;
3. Agricultural losses due to damages in transport, especially during heavy rains.
It beset the farmers since the road becomes difficult to traverse and,
4. Agricultural products are highly perishable by nature, with the current
situation and the worst-case scenario, only draft animals and motorcycles are
used in transporting the goods which limits the carrying capacity.

With the concreting of the 400 meter Buguis to Tagolilong Farm-to-Market Road
worth Five Million Pesos (₱ 5,000,000.00), the above findings will be addressed,
thus, the municipality’s goal of providing an accessible and safe roads to the 25
barangays especially to Barangay Buguis will be attained. Also, it will provide
employment to the locals for the duration of the said project. With this, provision of
quality and accessible public services will be provided and a sustained agricultural and
