Land Area and Political Subdivisions

The barangay occupies an estimated land area of 11.16 square kilometers representing 13.81
% percent, the largest among the 16 barangays of the municipal land area. The barangay is
subdivided into 5 sitios: Upper Wangal, Central/Lower Wangal, Talinguroy, Sadjatan and Gayasi that
is numbered as PA for Upper Wangal, PB for Lower Wangal, PC for Sadjatan, PD for Gayasi and PE for
Talinguroy.

Accessibility
Wangal is accessible from the east, via the Buyagan- Wangal - Banengbeng Provincial road
and the Pico-Puguis road through the Baguio-Bontoc highway. From the West, from the Bineng road,
passing through Gayasi, one can reach Wangal.

Public Utility Jeeps are available at the Km5 Public Market to Central Wangal or from Baguio,
those jeeps which ply Baguio to Housing (Upper Wangal). One can also take a jeep from the Windy
Hill- Buyagan line, ending at the Wangal Barangay Hall. Taxis also ply the area.

Physical Characteristics

Soil Type
Rough Mountainous Land. These lands are very rough and may be best utilized for wildlife,
forest and watershed. These are precipitous escarpments, high cliffs where slopes exceed 100
percent.

Puguis Gravelly Loam. Relief is moderately steep to very steep with undulating areas.
Internal drainage is good while external is good to excessive. Elevation is from 900 to 1,300 meters.
Organic matter content is 7.62 percent. The surface soil is brown, fine friable gravelly loam. Gravel is
about 20 percent by volume, strong brown and soft when dry while dark brown and slightly sticky
when wet.
This soil type is in danger of soil erosion. All cultivated areas should be properly terraced to
hold the surface soil from being washed off. Yield is rather low and should be improved by liberal use
of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Also, the soils are strongly acid throughout their profile.

Buyagan Clay Loam. The surface soil is reddish brown to yellowish brown to yellowish red,
coarse to fine granular friable clay loam. Reddish yellow and slightly hard when dry, sticky and plastic
when wet. Organic matter content is 6.8 percent.

Preferably the soil should be planted with fruit trees to avoid frequent cultivation and
minimize soil runoff. For annual crops, the land should first be terraced to reduce soil erosion. In
both permanent trees and annual crops, liberal application of organic and inorganic fertilizers will
ensure more produce.

BARANGAY WANGAL
Bineng Loam. Soils of this type are found at an elevation ranging from 900 to 1,400 above
sea level. Organic matter content is 3.66 percent. The surface soil is reddish brown fine granular
friable loam. Few pebbles are present.

To maintain soil fertility and improve yield, the appropriate fertilizer should be applied. Strip
cropping and cover cropping should be practiced on cultivated sloping grounds to minimize soil
erosion.

Topography, Slope Categories, Drainage and Erosion Potential

The topography of the area shows a relatively large portion of the barangay is very young,
specifically that area which is rough mountainous land. This characteristic of the area makes it very
highly susceptible to erosion and other geologic hazards.

However, the erosion potential of the area is not solely dictated by the topographic relief,
other factors such as steepness and length of the slope, amount and intensity of rainfall, types of
vegetation, cropping pattern and cultural practices (e.g. kaingin system) must also be taken into
consideration.

If the area is very steep, rain falls in torrents only six months of the year (not distributed
throughout the year) and vegetation is mostly grass, then there is a higher probability that erosion
will be faster than the normal rate.

Another factor in the rate of erosion is the drainage characteristic of the area, which is of
two kinds. The external drainage hints at the velocity of surface run-off while the internal drainage is
concerned about the speed of infiltration or percolation. Since water is also an agent of erosion, the
drainage characteristic of an area also has effects on the rate of erosion.

Climate

The climate in Benguet falls under Type 1 by the Coronas System of classification and is
characterized by two pronounced seasons: wet and dry. Wet season is from May to October while
the dry season is from November to April.

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)

recorded an annual amount of rainfall for year 2011 at 4,033 mm with 190 rainy days. August was
recorded as the rainiest month with rainfall amounting to 1,096.3 mm on average. Since most of
Wangal is a highland area in the municipality, it is frequently attacked not only by the northeast and
southeast monsoon but also by cyclones.

The climate is refreshingly cool with temperature ranging from 12.3⁰C in the month of
January at its coldest to 25.7⁰C at its warmest during the month of April. The average daily
temperature is 19 degrees Centigrade while the average relative humidity is 88 percent due to the
higher altitude.

The temperature condition of the area is suitable for all-year round cultivation of temperate
vegetables. The cropping calendar is affected mainly by excessive rainfall, strong winds damage due
to typhoons during the wet season and shortage of water in the dry season.

Hydrogeology

Tertiary sedimentary rocks comprise the Kennon formation of the Upper Miocene, which is
composed mainly of limestone, and the Zigzag formation, which is composed of sandstone,
conglomerate, shale and tuff. The Kennon formation covers La Trinidad Valley and its southern and
eastern hills including the high elevation areas which Wangal is included. The limestone in the area
has a structure that is rich in fissures, fractures and joints resulting in high permeability and involves
the possibility of forming a solution cavity, while La Trinidad Valley contains much shale, marl and
limestone sand which has low permeability.

The permeability of the soil and the rocks underneath indicates the possible availability of
groundwater. Limestone, ordinarily are very compact sedimentary stones, so they are not very
permeable. But when the area is rich in fissures or even faults that result from ground movements
(e.g. earthquakes), which are ordinary geologic phenomena, water can seep in along the cracks and
be stored underground. These areas where water is stored are called aquifers. Sometimes, though,
instead of being stored underneath, the groundwater springs out at some end sites of the slope.

Hence, many springs in the area are found along the contour lines of about EL. 1,200 meters
in Bahong to Alapang areas, about EL. 1,100 meters in Sadag to Alno areas, about EL. 950 meters in
Bineng area, about EL 710 meters in Boleweng area.

The Zigzag formation is an impermeable basement, and the groundwater table forms on the
basement at the end of the wet season. Inside the cracks of the groundwater table, water may be
stored even in the dry season. Generally, collection of groundwater is understood to occur in
portions where the cracks are concentrated, namely at fault sites.

Most, if not all, of the above-mentioned spring water are utilized for drinking, domestic and
irrigation purposes. The barangay is also dependent on the Gayasi and Wangal rivers for domestic
and irrigation water.

Natural Resources

Forest

Some of the forested areas of Wangal still belong to the Benguet State University as part of
its school reservation, which was declared through Presidential Proclamation No. 209 during Ramon
Magsaysay term. However, its actual use is partly agro-forest while the rest have already been
converted for agricultural purposes though they are still classified as public forestlands. There are

7
 Republic of the Philippines

BARANGAY WANGAL
quite a number of people already living there since the Spanish Period, making them qualified to
apply for recognition as ancestral land claimants.

In 2003, the barangay government moved for the declaration of a portion of Talinguroy as a
communal forest. Talinguroy is one of the oldest barangay of La Trinidad during the Spanish period
in Wangal. There are quite a number of people already living there since the Spanish time.

Surface Water

The hilly areas of Ampasit and Longlong in the western part of La Trinidad provides a
catchment basin of water that supply the Wangal River, which drains northward and joined by
various tributaries along the left bank. The Wangal River eventually converge with the tributaries at
Sadjatan in the Lower Wangal area and changes its direction to the east, to become a tributary of the
Gayasi river, then finally drains northeast to join the Balili River at Bineng.

Springs and Groundwater

The immediate environs of the municipality contain an alluvium of clayey sediment that is
semi-permeable. Groundwater in the tertiary rocks, which generally form impermeable strata,
occurs as fissure water; while Puguis and South Wangal, which are mostly composed of
conglomerates, have phreatic groundwater, with rocks having a high water retention ratio.

The existence of conglomerates at the upstream area of Wangal River particularly at

Longlong and its adjacent western vicinities provides for the occurrence of groundwater. However,
these conglomerates are interposed with loose and poorly graded layers along the accumulating
surfaces, indicating that groundwater available is “confined water”.

During the dry season, shallow wells of 10-20 meters depth which maintain a static water
creek ranging from 3 to 7 meters consequently run dry, perhaps attributed to poor discharge from
aquifers.

Geologic Hazards and Tectonic Faults

DENR survey/mapping indicates that the barangay is vulnerable to geologic hazards. This is
attributed to the presence of active faults along the branches of the northern segment of the
Philippine Fault Zone, which trigger seismic movements of the fault splays within the barangay. In
addition, the barangay’s rugged topography, geologic composition, extreme rainfall and climate
make it highly vulnerable to geologic hazards such as landslides, erosion, and ground movements.

Faults which have been inferred from readings showing sharp lineament on aerial
photographs are mainly the following four fault lines: Tawang to Mt. Pico fault line, Wangal fault line,
Tacdian to Alno fault line and Bagto block crossing fault lines.

The characteristic and scale of the faults may be difficult to determine because the faults are
covered with residual deposit material. However, it can be considered that there are relatively wide
sheared fracture zones in the fault lines (HIRDP-JICA Feasibility Study, 1988).

Lithology

The municipality of La Trinidad is underlain by various lithologic units, enumerated

chronologically as Cretaceous Agno Gabrro, Middle Miocene Zigzag Formation, Upper Miocene
Klondyke Formation and Quaternary Alluvials (CLUP). Barangay Wangal covers only two of these
lithological units.

The early Middle Miocene Zigzag Formation is the second oldest formation. It consists of
clastic sedimentary rocks such as conglomerates, mudstone and sandstones, which are generally
weathered making its mass strength low. Clastic members of this formation are good aquifers for
groundwater.

The Kennon Limestone, which is a member of the Zigzag Formation, is buff-colored and
generally bedded with gentle dips. It shows characteristic karst topography with sinkholes. It is
evaluated as having medium rock mass strength.

The early Upper Miocene Klondyke Formation covers a large portion of the Municipality. It
lies uncomfortably above the Zigzag Formation. It includes volcaniclastic members such as andesitic
conglomerates, sandstones and pyroclastics. The east outcrops are hydro-thermally altered and host
gold mineralization. Deep weathering and alteration make its rock mass strength low.

Hazard Zoning

Barangay Wangal is divided into two hazard zones: medium and high, based on geology,
structure, slope gradient, and mass movements. Medium Hazard Zones have moderate slopes, other
structural lineaments and rocks of medium mass strength. Agriculture is best suited for this zone.

High Hazard Zones have active mass movements. They are best suited for land uses with
minimum elements (lives and properties) at risk. Bare rock portions are best left as parks or open
spaces while those with soil cover should be forested.
