MESSAGE
Once again, I am proud to submit this report on the
various accomplishments that the City Government achieved in
the past year 2014.
This report covers aspects on Governance and
Administration, Social Development, Economic Development,
Environmental Management, and Infrastructure Development.
Also forming part of this report is the list of our plans and
priorities spelled out in the city’s Executive and Legislative
Agenda for 2013-2016.
This is of course as always, a product of greater cooperation and convergence with our
local legislators especially the members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, our own departments in
the city government, the provincial government, various national government agencies, the civil
society groups, the business sector, the academe and religious groups. Of course we also
acknowledge the share and contribution that our people in the barangays have provided. This
state of local governance report is a product of all our efforts and joint undertakings.

1.2 Transparency

the full disclosure policy required by the DILG. Posted annually in the city’s main lobby at the City Hall, at
the Central Public Market and at the Integrated Land Transport Terminal are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Annual Budget
Statement of Debt Service
Statement of Receipts and Expenditures

Supplemental Procurement Plan
The above-mentioned documents are also regularly posted in the city’s website at
www.surigaocity.gov.ph. On top of these full disclosure policy documents, other transparency measures
provided for to increase greater public awareness, reduce red tape and promote better efficiency in the
delivery of services remain in place and operational. The Citizen’s Charter, a vital piece that would
enhance customer services continues to guide transacting public on the availment of services with the
various departments of the city government, the steps to be taken, the fees to be paid if any, and the
people in-charge of such services in line with the requirements of the Anti Red Tape Act of 2007 (ARTA).
Formal complaints on government service efficiency and/or on erring employees are also duly
acted upon through the City Legal Officer who chairs the City’s Investigating Committee. Investigations
and hearings are regularly conducted by the committee, inviting both respondents and complainants to
air their respective sides resulting to the enhancement of greater transparency in the city’s operations.
As such the results of the investigation(s) are either penalties for the concerned employee(s), if so
warranted, and/or policy recommendations to enhance further existing systems and operations.
The City Mayor also reported to the people, in a publicly held regular session of the Sangguniang
Panlungsod the annual accomplishment report of the city government as contained in its State of Local
Governance Report last April 24, 2014 at the City Auditorium. This is also part of the institutionalized
reporting mechanisms that would allow our local population regular updates on the plans and programs
of the city government.
1.3 Participation
In CY 2014, sustained participatory mechanisms were pursued by the local government. With no
less than the Sangguniang Panlungsod spearheading the need for project beneficiaries and recipients of
grassroots participatory budgeting (GPB) to be properly recognized, 18 more organizations heeded the

1.4 Planning & Project Development Services
Completion and updating of critical planning and related supporting documents remain on top
of the accomplishment of the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO). Submission of the Annual
Investment Plan for 2015 was completed in time as a primary requirement of the Annual Budget.
Updating of the city’s Socio Economic Profile and review of the performance parameters of the City
Development Plan were also accomplished last year.
The highlight of the city’s performance in strategic development planning is the completion of
its updated Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) which was approved and favorably endorsed by the
inter-agency Provincial Land Use Committee last June 24, 2014 under Resolution No. 04-2014. The CLUP
was endorsed to the Sangguniang Panlungsod for approval and adoption in July 2014. This is the first
ever CLUP which integrates the parameters and pertinent provisions of Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management and Climate Change Adaptation.
The accomplishment reports of various city departments and national line agencies were also
integrated into the State of Local Governance Report. Aside from the regular conduct of year-end
reporting activities, CY2014 also marked the conduct of a mid-year review and assessment of local
performance with the end in view of enhancing and synchronizing further the preparation of the city’s
annual budget for the ensuing year.
Performance of secretariat and technical support functions to the City Development Council and
its sectoral committees were effectively delivered, including networking and coordination with
concerned national government agencies and other departments of the local government, to include
representations in the Regional Development Council.

The projects under the former Mindanao Rural Development Program (MRDP) which is now
going to be known as the Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP) consisted of previously
considered farm-to-market road (FMR) projects have to be revised, resubmitted and updated in
accordance with new guidelines and format requirements of PRDP.
The various projects proposed for national agency funding under the CY2015 LPRAP-BUB
process reduced last year to only P30.0 million with LGU equity of P16.0 million.

Land Use and Zoning Regulation, Urban Development and Housing
Continuing implementation of the city’s Zoning Ordinance which regulates land uses in
accordance with its CLUP remain a regular undertaking of the CPDO. Parallel to that of course is the
sustained monitoring of previously implemented housing projects and other activities relating to
improving urban blight, renewal and implementation of R.A. 7279 – the Urban Development and
Housing Act.
The income from land use and zoning for CY2014 increased by 30.61% amounting to more than
P1.31 million. Income from the issuance of zoning clearances remain to be the major contributor, such
being the primary enforcement function. Data of 2014 show a total of 171 Zoning Clearances issued, 53
Certificates of Zoning Compliance, and 246 Zoning Certifications released. There were also 41 denied
applications, with 27 filing for appeal, and two (2) applications for Subdivision Development.

Looking into the comparative performance of collections with the previous period, local taxes
increased by more than P9.0 million registering an increase of 9.02%. This is better than the 7.86%
increase in local taxes between 2012-2013. The major contribution comes from 24% increase in the
collection of business taxes.
For real property taxes, the total assessed value of taxable real properties totaled more than
P2.256 billion as of end of December 2013 and this increased to P2.329 billion by end of December 2014
minus the cancellations made for the period. Less the problematic assessment of more than P180.728
million, the net assessment for 2014 totaled P2.148 billion. Comparative assessment showed an
estimated tax due (1.5% basic + 1.0% special education tax) of P51,887,872.00 in 2013 and
P53,716,043.75 in 2014 registering an increase of 3.52%. This is better than the almost negligible
increase of 0.35% for 2012-2013.
The collection of both basic real property tax and special education tax for 2014 totaled
P38,484,489.94 which is a reduction of 2.38% than that of 2013 collection of P39,423,374.40. Based on
the total collections versus the total assessed tax due, real property tax accomplishment rate for 2014 is
71.64% which is a reduction of 4.33 percentage points from last year’s 75.97% accomplishment rate.
Income from the General Fund increased by 11.48% compared to 2013 fueled largely by the
increase in local taxes of 9.02% and the increase in IRA of 12.55% which is enough to cushion the impact
of the reduction in the share of national wealth by 19.20% and the collections from real property tax of
3.54%. For the Economic Enterprises, a combined increase of 3.46% has been noted with only the
Slaughterhouse posting a decrease of less than 1.0%.

The total expenditures of 2014 amounting to more than P563.871 million constitute a per capita
expenditure of P3,696.47 based on a projected 2014 population of 152,543 (base year NSO 2010 at
2.07% growth rate). This increased by 18.26% from last year’s per capita expenditure of P3,125.49.
Debt servicing for 2014 totaled P28,151,046.60 which reduced slightly by 4.85% compared to
2013 debt payments amounting to P29.288 million. Against the total expenditures, debt payments
constitute about 4.99%. This is way below the maximum 20% ceiling in the Local Government Code and
still considered exemplary being within the 0-8% bracket of the local governance performance
standards.
The income from local economic enterprises in 2014 totaled P31,568,497.20 and the
expenditures recorded a total of P24,400,288.51 for a net income of P7,168,208.69. This is slightly
Page 14
lower by 0.47% than last year’s net income of P7,202,581.73. The profitability rate of the city’s economic
enterprises reduced slightly to 22.71% from last year’s 23.88%. This profitability rate of more than 20%
is still considered exemplary based on local governance performance standards.
Collection expenditures (treasury and assessment services) in 2014 totaled P23,713,934.94
which is a 7.66% increase from the P22,024,814.01 expenses in 2013. Compared against the total
amount of local income this year at P157,213,378.16, the cost-to-collection ratio remained at 15%. This
means that the LGU is spending 15 centavos for every peso that it collects.

The City Government, through the City Health office implemented various programs and
projects to enable more Surigaonons to enjoy the benefits of Kalusugan Pangkalahatan or Universal
health Care, which is the gist of President Aquino’s health agenda.
The Kalusugan Pangkalahatan aims for the attainment of health-related Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) by focusing on the reduction of maternal and child mortality, morbidity and
mortality from TB and Malaria, and the prevalence of HIV/AIDS, in addition to being prepared for
emerging disease trends, and prevention and control of non-communicable diseases.

In 2014, the City of Surigao has a Crude Birth Rate of 17.73 or 2,655 livebirths while the Crude
Death Rate is 5.90 or 889 deaths. This translates to a rate of natural increase (RNI) of 1.1.
While the number of infant mortalities did not change at 26, a slight rise in Infant Mortality Rate
(IMR) was noted due to the decrease in the number of recorded livebirths from 2,849 in 2013 to 2,655 in
2014.
The leading causes of infant mortality were Neonatal Sepsis, Pneumonia and Acute
gastroenteritis. Maternal Mortality Ratio on the other hand significantly reduced to 1.51 per 1000
livebirths, which still falls short of the regional MDG target of 0.52 in 2015. Late referrals by attending
hilots of deliveries with complications to health facilities contributed to the occurrence of maternal
deaths.
In line with the motto: “No Surigaonon Should Die Giving Life”, the CHO strengthened its
implementation of the Maternal and Newborn Child Health and Nutrition (MNCHN) strategy to
accelerate efforts in meeting the MDGs. In effect, there was a 6% increase in prenatal visits compared to
the previous year. Deliveries handled by a Skilled Health Professional (SHP) consistently increased from
89% in 2012 to 91% in 2014.

Due to the 24/7 operation of the four (4) birthing facilities in Barangay San Juan, Luna,
Washington and Taft and two (2) facilities in the island barangays of Buenavista and Talisay, the number
of deliveries in the birthing facilities increased from 908 to 1,380, with Washington Health District
posting the most number of deliveries handled.
Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) increased from 44% in 2012 to 51% in 2014 due to the
availability of Family Planning commodities, strengthened referral system and continued contraceptives
counseling before or immediately after delivery. The city, however, still has to achieve the 75.92 CPR
target in 2015.
Underfive Mortality Rate likewise reduced significantly by 3 percentage points from 20.33 per
1,000 livebirths in 2013 to 17.33. The most common causes of underfive deaths were Sepsis,Pneumonia
and Acute Gastroenteritis. There is a low probability of attaining the targeted 8.7 underfive Mortality
Rate in 2015.
In the 2nd quarter of 2014, the City Disaster Risk
Reduction Management Council (CDRRMC) declared a
Measles Outbreak due to the sudden increase in the
incidence of Measles. Two (2) Operation Centers were
established to heighten daily services and surveillance
for measles suspects. Identified patients were
immediately referred to the Caraga Regional Hospital
(CRH) for treatment and isolation. Within a period of
three (3) months from April to June, 71% from the 6-11
month age bracket and 99% from the 12-59 months
were already vaccinated. With the city’s Fully Immunized
Child (FIC) percentage at 84%, which is still below the
national target of 95%, it was recommended that
immunization schedules at district health centers be
increased and Community Volunteer Health Workers
(CVHW) maximized for immunization tracking.

A mass Immunization with Measles, Rubella, Oral Polio Vaccination (MR OPV) was conducted by
the City Health Office in the months of September to October prioritizing in particular high risk
communities and barangays for the purpose of further interrupting the transmission of Measles and
Rubella and to protect the population from the consequences of importation of wild Polio virus
Attention was also given to address
MDG 6: Reverse the Spread of HIV/AIDS,
Malaria, and other Diseases. While the city of
Surigao consistently maintained its status as
“Malaria-Free” in 2014, there were reportedly
five (5) Rabies deaths and three (3) Dengue
deaths. The City health Office gave preexposure Prophylaxis to residents in identified
critical barangays. Information campaigns and
Clean-up Drives were conducted in the
communities and in schools. An orientation
was conducted among barangay captains in
cognizance of their significant role in the
prevention and control of emerging and reemerging diseases especially Rabies and
Dengue.

The number of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) cases increased by 5% due to the increase in
the number of registered clients since some of the establishments from nearby municipalities in Surigao
del Norte already sought consultation at the Social Hygiene Clinic. To help reduce STI cases, a 100%
condom use was imposed upon all entertainment establishment workers and school-based awareness
campaign conducted in the different schools
Page 26
The Case Detection Rate of Tuberculosis (TB) increased significantly from 102% in 2013 to 198%
in 2014. The Caraga Regional Hospital TB
DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short
Course) Clinic contributed to this
accomplishment and to the sufficient supply
of TB drugs for both adults and children. TB
Cure Rate, however decreased by 6
percentage points due to patients who
defaulted from treatment or transferred to
another facility.

In the area of Dental Health, the city
posted a high accomplishment for Orally Fit
Child at 92.4%. Child (12-71 mos.) and
pregnant women provided with basic oral
health care accomplished 108.6% and 158%
respectively as against the target.
Another strategic thrust with which the Aquino Health Agenda shall be attained is focused on
the improved access to health care facilities. In 2014, the Day-asan Barangay Health Center was
constructed as one of the approved projects of the city government under the Bottom-Up Budgeting in
2013. A total of P1.0 million was downloaded by the Department of Health for this facility. The
construction of the Barangay Health Station in Libuac with complete equipment for Birthing Home
operation had also been included among the 2014 List of Priority Poverty Reduction Projects, which is
set for implementation in 2015.
In addition, the city government also funded from the 20%
Development Fund, the implementation of 14 projects on the construction, repair and improvement of
health centers and other health facilities amounting to over P3.44 million.
The Doctors to the Barrio (DTTB) program of the DOH augmented the local human resource for
health with the assignment of one (1) doctor to the San Juan District Health Center. Moreover, 627
Community Volunteer Health Workers (CVHWs) assisted in the implementation of regular health
programs as well as special activities such as the vaccination of Senior Citizens in the 54 barangays. They
also served as guides in the conduct of house-to-house visits during the Measles Outbreak and the MR
OPV Mass Immunization.

who are likely to respond to individualized community-based treatment programs, the Surigao City
Probation and Parole Office (CPPO) completed 49 investigation referrals from the courts and other
referring agencies, reflecting an investigation completion rate of 100%. Out of the 39 Court Investigation
Referrals received by the office, 36 petitioners for probation were recommended to the referring Courts
for the grant of Probation, while 3 petitioners with legal disqualifications were recommended for the
denial of their petition for probation which was approved by the Court.
The (CPPO) is supervising 164 clients released on probation and parole surveillance. These
clients are living normally in the community with their families as productive, law abiding citizens and
reformed individuals. Had these convicted offenders been incarcerated, the government would have
spent a huge amount for food, medicines as well as salaries of jail personnel. Approximately, the office
generated a savings to government in the amount of P2,952,000.00 for 2014.
Among the best practices of the CPPO are the following:

program which, to date still caters to illiterate adult learners. On November 3, 2014, the
office spearheaded another batch consisting of 23 clients.
2. Kasalan. On July 22, 2014, 10 live-in couples received the Sacrament of Matrimony after

1.6 Marketing Promotions
In the promotion of the locally produced agricultural
commodities, the City Agriculture Office conducted Harvest
Festivals in Brgys. Lipata and Cagniog for assorted vegetables and
root crop products, respectively. The City Agriculture Office also
participated in the city trade fairs and exhibits to showcase the
city’s agricultural products to the general public.
Meanwhile, records from the Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA) showed that Surigao City’s rice production in 2014 was only
12,738.8 metric tons. This is about 8.6% decrease compared

to buyers at farm gate prices during the conduct of
Harvest Festival at Brgy. Cagniog, Surigao City.
Page 46
against year 2013 of 13,944.2 metric tons. This decreased was attributed in the decrease of the harvest
area by 3.8% from 4,591.8 hectares in 2013 to 4,418.6 hectares in 2014. This was also due to the
experienced typhoons, flooding and/or flashfloods in many rice areas and due to damaged irrigation
facilities. Meanwhile, corn production recorded about 311.6 metric tons or an increase of 42%. This was
attributed by the increased of the harvested area of about 27%. Table-3 shows the comparative crop
production from year 2011 to 2014.


ANIMAL HEALTH PREVENTION AND DISEASE CONTROL PROGRAM
The City Veterinary Office sustained its responsibility of improving, developing and safeguarding
the livestock industry in the city to attain self-sufficiency in foodstuff of animal origin and to produce
quality animals for food, draft and breeding purposes. As the frontline entity, prevention and control
program was designed focusing on emerging zoonotic livestock and poultry diseases and those with
utmost economic importance that includes hemorrhagic septicemia, hog cholera, Newcastle disease,
fascioliasis, ascariasis, SURRA, CAE and rabies.
Last year, the CVO has never encountered major disease affecting the livestock and poultry
animals. However, five (5) cases of rabies has been reported which puts the Office a major challenge
focusing on eliminating and preventing additional cases of rabies to occur.
The city government thru the CVO has allocated about ₱1,200,000.00 for the procurement of
vaccines, dewormers, medicines, vitamins and other biologics. This Office also sustained the support
from the Department of Agriculture for the additional supplies of biologics and medicines, and free
laboratory disease examination.
I.
LIVESTOCK VACCINATION
The conduct of livestock and poultry vaccination in the different barangays aimed to control and
further eliminate the spread of diseases affecting the animal industry in the locality. Last year, about
2,296 heads of ruminants were vaccinated against hemosep; 4,085 heads of swine for hog cholera; and
15,427 heads of poultry for Newcastle disease benefiting a total of 3,155 farmers. Table-14 shows the
accomplishment data on livestock vaccination.

II. LIVESTOCK DEWORMING
Livestock deworming services routinely conducted in the island and mainland barangay usually
three to four times in a year to ensure that parasitic burden in every animals will be prevented and to
some extent eliminated in the animals raised either for companion, draft or breeding purposes.
Based on the consolidated data, last year, a total 17,627 heads of animals were routinely
dewormed or about 158% accomplishment against the target benefiting a total of 4,538 owners within
the 54 barangays of the city. Table-16 shows the annual accomplishment data on livestock deworming

IV. DISEASE DIAGNOSTICS/LABORATORY SERVICES
Blood samples from carabao, cattle, and goat were routinely collected for examination primarily
to monitor, control and eradicate the incidence and prevalence of infections, notifiable diseases and
parasites through the use of laboratory diagnostic procedures. The City Veterinary Office had been
consistent in its strict monitoring of animals entering the city premises in order to prevent entry of
possible disease outbreak and eliminate the spread of animal diseases in the locality.
In 2014, a total of 166 samples were collected from ruminants in 25 barangays of the city, of
which 23 carabaos and three (3) cattles were positive with SURRA and were treated immediately. Table20 shows the annual accomplishment data on blood collection/examination on livestock animals.

V. RABIES ERADICATION AND STRAY DOG CONTROL
The CVO intensified its elimination/eradication campaign against rabies cases in locality through
house to house rabies vaccination; massive dog registration; information dissemination in all schools;
conduct of seminars/meetings with the barangay officials relative to the implementation of Rabies
Ordinance; dog castration; and stray dog catching.
Last year, a total of 5,407 heads of dogs were vaccinated which surpassed the target for about
154%; and about 2,362 heads of dogs were registered which is about 139% accomplishment compared
against target. The increased number of dogs vaccinated and registered was attributed to the positive
response of pet owners on the deadly effect of rabies. Table-21 shows the annual accomplishment data
on rabies eradication activities.

ANIMAL PRODUCTION PROGRAM
The animal production program primarily aimed at enhancing the genetic potential of existing
livestock population in the city at the same time it increased the population of the livestock industry. In
this program, the CVO developed several approaches, such as: artificial insemination and natural
breeding services, animal dispersal/redispersal program and forage and pasture development.
The City Government has allocated an amount of Php650,000.00 for Artificial Insemination
including maintenance of stocks in the Animal Breeding Center; and about Php200,000.00 for Animal
Production for the procurement of animals stocks for the sustainability of the program.
I.
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Artificial insemination services were handled by the trained A.I. technicians of CVO. It has been
used as a tool for genetic improvement in swine, cattle, carabao and goat. This program has been
conducted to upgrade the genetic quality of the existing local stocks which significantly improved the
livestock productivity coupled with improve farmers’ income and livelihood. The A.I. services were
provided to the farmers and backyard raisers in the locality for free of charge.
Last year, through the concerted efforts of the City Government, Department of Agriculture
through the Unified Artificial Insemination Program and the Philippine Carabao Center, the CVO
inseminated using artificial method a total of 132 heads of caracow; 29 heads of cow; and 28 heads of
doe benefiting a total of 158 farmers in the mainland barangays of the city. For swine, a total of 543
heads of sow were artificially inseminated serving about 495 raisers. Table-25 shows the annual
accomplishment data on artificial insemination, while Table-26 shows the comparative data on animals
artificially inseminated from year 2010 to 2014.

In 2014, the income generated from the city slaughterhouse is about Php4,292,419.50 which is
about 21.96% short compared against the target of Php5,500,000.00 or a collection efficiency of about
78% for cy2014. The 2014 generated income is about 4.7% decreased compared against year 2013 of
Php4,506,197.26. The decreasing trend in the volume of animal slaughtered was attributed by the
present economic crisis, opening of numbers of meat shops in which the meat displayed were
slaughtered from other regions and due to the health consciousness of the general public of shifting
their diets from meat to fish and vegetables. Table-34 and Table-35 shows the comparative data on
animal slaughtered per heads and per kilo; while Table-36 shows the annual data on slaughterhouse
income for cy2014 and Table-37 shows the comparative data on slaughterhouse income from cy2010 to
