9 2015 Ecological Report Chapter I GENERAL INFORMATION A. HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT URDANETA CITY: Estrella del Norte Urdaneta was organized into a pueblo on January 8, 1858 when the contiguous settlement of the pioneering inhabitants, mostly Ilocanos and a sprinkling of Pangasinenses, met all requirements of becoming a town. It came into existence from the conglomeration of portions of barrios from the surrounding towns of Asingan, Villasis, Malasiqui, Sta. Barbara, Mangaldan, Manaoag and Binalonan. The petitioners for the creation of the new independent town identified themselves as Cabezas Tenietes representing the inhabitants of barrios Batad in Asingan, Nancamaliran in Sta. Barbara and Caocalan in Mangaldan. They proposed that the new town be named Soldevilla, in honor of the Alcalde Mayor of the province at that time, Senior Don Manuel Boutelon y Soldevilla. However, the Alcalde Mayor himself declined the honor and, instead proposed, with the recommendation of the Parish Priest, Fr. Nicolas Manrique Alonzo, the name Urdaneta. Father Andres de Urdaneta was a famous soldier, navigator, historian, cosmographer and evangelist who was assigned by King Philip II of Spain to join the Legaspi Expedition of The Vicar of Sta. Barbara and the curates of Asingan and Mangaldan supported Father Alonzo s proposal to name the new town Urdaneta. The petition took almost two years to be processed. But soon after that the Governor-General issued a decree and the new town of Urdaneta was finally born on the 8 th of January Two months later, on March 8, 1858, the town of Urdaneta was finally inaugurated. An assembly of Principales representing the seven towns composed of Asingan, Sta. Barbara, Mangaldan, San Jacinto, Manaoag, Binalonan, and Villasis gathered in Urdaneta. The documents on the proclamation of the new town was executed and signed by all the participating officials. Simultaneous was the construction of Urdaneta s first concrete church, forerunner of today s Catholic Cathedral, now the site of Eastern Pangasinan s Bishopric. On January 10, 1998, through a bill sponsored by Rep. Amadeo R. Perez Jr., the Philippine Congress enacted R.A converting the Municipality of Urdaneta into a component city of the Province of Pangasinan. The people of Urdaneta, in a plebiscite, overwhelmingly ratified this legislative act and Urdaneta was proclaimed a city on March 21, 1998.

10 2015 Ecological Report B. SOCIO-CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT The early settlers of Urdaneta were Ilocanos from the North who brought along with them their beliefs, customs and traditions. They are protective, visionaries and clannish. Their houses, which were made of bamboo and cogon, were compactly arranged. A Spanish Historian, Buzeta, commented on the way they constructed their houses: These Indios, upon establishing their communities, constructed their houses so close to one another that no space was left for their orchards contrary to the common practice of the natives in other places of the island who constructed their houses isolated in the fields adjacent to their farms. Some of the old socio-cultural traits were handed down to succeeding generations. These refer to pugot (creature without head); ansisit (dwarf); serena (mermaid); al-alia (ghost); anito (deity); and beliefs such as, never sing in front of a stove while cooking for surely one will marry an old maid or an old man. Foremost among the inhabitants customs and traditions are mano, kissing the hands of elders as a sign of respect; and uli, a pre-wedding arrangement or agreement whereby the parents of the bride and groom finalize wedding preparations inclusive of the dowry, date of marriage and related matter. A few of these practices slowly vanished with the advent of Christian religions propagated by the Spanish and American rules. Likewise, nowadays, due to migrations from Tarlac, Pampanga and even as far as Batangas, other beliefs are infused in the community s cultural heritage. C. POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE DEVELOPMENT The political maturity of the present-day leaders was handed down from the early inhabitants banking primarily on unity and cooperation. On the leaders was reposed the responsibility of governance considering the general welfare of the constituents. The Spaniards introduced the centralized form of government and an administrative system whereby the head of a sitio was called Teniente Absolute and of the town, Gobernadorcillo. In 1843, the title Gobernadorcillo was changed to Capitan. The year 1899 ushered the American Era in the Philippine History. One of the local administrative orders asserted by the Americans was the installation of Municipal Presidents in lieu of Capitanes. From 1937 to the present, the local chief executive was referred to as Municipal Mayor. Listed hereunder are the past and present local chief executives who contributed to the development and advancement of the City of Urdaneta:

16 2015 Ecological Report D. GEOPHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES 1. TOPOGRAPHY The city forms part of the Central Plains of Luzon consisting of generally flat landforms. Majority of its barangays have nearly flat terrain. The hilly portions of barangays Cabaruan, Oltama and Sugcong on the southwest portion of the city are utilized as orchard and pasture areas. 2. SLOPE The city has a general slope range of zero to three percent. However, the terrain at its southwestern portions, specifically in barangays Oltama, Cabaruan, and Sugcong, is gently sloping to moderately hilly with a slope range of three to eight percent. 3. SOIL Urdaneta is blessed with rich soil suitable for almost all kinds of agricultural crops. The types of soil present in Urdaneta are as follows: a. QUINGUA SERIES These are very deep and well-drained soils found on nearly level high river terraces. The solum is cm. deep. The AP-horizons, 20 to 30 cm., are brown, dark brown to very dark yellow brown clay loam, silty clay loam and loam. The B-horizon is brown to dark brown; darkyellowish brown; greyish-brown or dark greyish brown clay loam; silty clay loam with strong brown, gray light brownish grey; yellowish and brownish yellow mettles. The C-horizons are stratified silt lam, sandy loam or light clay with strong brown and yellowish brown mettles. This particular soil is generally utilized for rice and corn production. This series is classified into five types, namely, Quingua Silt Loam, Quingua Sandy Loam Quingua Fine Sandy Loam, Quingua Silty Clay Loam and Quingua Clay Loam. b. BANTOG SERIES Bantog Series consists of very deep and poorly drained soils found on broad and nearly level lands. Thickness is cm. depth. The AP horizons are dark greyish brown, grey or dark grey, light clay, silty clay loam, or greenish grey mettles. This is subject to slight river flooding and may be planted with irrigated rice. Present in Urdaneta is the Bantog Silty Clay Loam. c. SAN MIGUEL SERIES The San Miguel Series consists of deep fine loamy and well-drained alluvial soils. These are found on nearly level to gently undulating landscapes along rivers. The solum is cm. AP horizons, cm., are dark yellowish brown; yellowish brown; brown to dark brown clay loam; light silty loam and heavy silty loam suitable for corn, vegetables, rice and citrus trees. San Miguel Fine Sandy Loam is the dominant type in Urdaneta under this series.

17 2015 Ecological Report d. SAN FABIAN SERIES The San Fabian Series occurs in areas of moderately sloping hills. It is a residual type of soil derived from waterlaid volcanic turf. Solum thickness ranges from cm., brown, dark brown to very dark brown, reddish brown, dark reddish brown, yellowish red wetly to clay with strong brown mettles. Gravels and highly weathered chalk-like tuffaceous materials are found to be suitable for corn, vegetables and rice. Mapped in Urdaneta under this series are the San Fabian Clay Loam and San Fabian Silty Loam. E. GEOLOGIC AND OTHER NATURAL HAZARDS 1. EARTHQUAKE Urdaneta is traversed at its north-eastern tip by the Pozorrubio to Umingan major fault line. This fault line goes in consonance with the Philippine fault line which runs from Dingalan Bay in Aurora Province to the Lingayen Gulf. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recommended a five-metre easement on both sides of fault traces. 2. FLOOD HAZARD Flood prone areas include portions of barangays Poblacion, Pinmaludpod, Nancayasan, San Jose, Camantiles, Tulong, Anonas and the lowland portions of barangays. 3. SILTATION The city is generally underlain by sedimentary rocks of quaternary alluvial, lacustribe, river and residual deposits (Bureau of Mines, Regional Office No. 1). 4. EROSION Majority of the barangays experience no erosion at all. This means that no conspicuous erosion is experienced although the topsoil may be disturbed. This is the case in areas that are flat or level to nearly level, especially in wetlands and paddy rice locations. Some portions of Labit West experience none to slight (insipient) erosion. In this category of erosion, the topsoil is disturbed but ploughing may negate the very slight insipient erosion. This is particularly found in areas that are nearly level to very gently sloping but more especially in areas that are terraced and devoted to paddy rice. Parts of barangays Cabaruan, Oltama and Sugcong have slight erosion. The pattern in these areas is characterized by sheet erosion with small rills. This type of erosion is a condition wherein the topsoil is disturbed and slightly reduced by sheet erosion and small rills with no conspicuous development of braids or gullies. This is found in areas that are very gently sloping to gently undulating, especially in areas with terraced paddies, rotated crops and with short slope length. Areas along the

18 2015 Ecological Report Macalong River and Tulong and Calegu Rivers experience slight erosion, as well. F. METEOROLOGY 1. CLIMATE AND RAINFALL Urdaneta has two major seasons, the wet and the dry season. The City experiences the dry season from November to April. The wet season, in turn, is experienced from May to October with an average rainfall of 86 mm. The heaviest rainfalls usually occur between July to September. Some seven to nine typhoons visit the City annually. 2. RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE The city has a moderately hot temperature with average of C. The lowest recorded temperature is 21.6 C during the month of December while the highest is 34 C during the month of June. Relative humidity is at 86 C. G. VEGETATIVE COVER Pastureland covers hectares or 2.33 percent of the locality s total land area. This can be found in the rolling hills of barangays Oltama, Cabaruan and Sugcong bounding the municipalities of Villasis and Malasiqui. Mango farms are located on the hills of these barangays while rice fields are on their lowlands which are fed by rivers and creeks. The city has no forest or large-scale grassland. H. WATER RESOURCES The city has three major water resources as well as several creeks in almost all the barangays. These include the Tulong and Musing Rivers at its northern boundary, the Mitura River bisected barangays Poblacion and San Vicente, and the Macalong River. These bodies of water, as well as the tributaries of the Agno River from the Province of Benguet, drain into the central plains of the Province of Pangasinan. Irrigation water to the prime agricultural lands of Urdaneta comes from the Tangal Perez Dam in barangay Nancalobasaan. I. MINERAL RESOURCES Mineral resources in the city include tuffaceous shell deposits found in Cabaruan and Labit West, as well as gravel and sands deposits in the rivers.

19 2015 Ecological Report Chapter III DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS A. LEVELS AND GROWTH PATTERNS From a population of only 20,544 in 1903, the city s population reached 125,451 in 2010 (2010 NSO, Census of Population). The highest average annual growth rate was recorded during the period 1960 to 1970 when population grew by 2.75 percent per year. The consistently increasing population growth, however, slowed down to 1.89 percent during the period 1975 to Table Historical Growth of Population and Growth Rates, Year Population Average Annual Growth Rate (%) , , , , , , , , , , , , , Source: Comprehensive Land Use Plan ( ).

70 2015 Ecological Report Chapter VII ENVIRONMENT SECTOR A. DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE The City s public drainage system mainly services Brgy. Poblacion particularly the Central Business District and parts of urban barangays. Drainage in the rural barangays is mainly through surface water run-off leading to the numerous rivers and creeks in the city. Urdaneta is subjected to seasonal flooding because of its flat terrain and the presence of bodies of water and tributaries of the Agno River from the Province of Benguet which drains into the central plains of the Province of Pangasinan. Urdaneta City is a part of the Agno River Basin making it susceptible to flooding especially on the areas of Brgys. San Jose, Camantiles, Tulong, and Anonas, as well as the lowlands in Brgy. Catablan, Labit West and Labit Proper. The Bureau of Soils and Management (BSWM) describes some portions of Urdaneta to experience slight flooding up to depths of 30 to 40 cms during heavy rainfall receding to less than 20 cms within one to three days. The floodwater brings large amounts of silt and mine tailings from Benguet which are deposited on the riverbed and the flooded agricultural lands. B. CEMETERY The ten memorial parks in Urdaneta. The two government-operated memorial parks (Roman Catholic Cemetery and Municipal Cemetery) are all located in the Poblacion. The eight others are found in Poblacion (Urdaneta Memorial Park), Nancamaliran West (Aglipayan Cemetery), San Jose (Roman Catholic Cemetery, St. Joseph Memorial Park, Mt. Moriah Memorial Park & Himlayan), Pinmaludpod (Forest Lake) and Bactad East (Solemn Place).

71 2015 Ecological Report Chapter VIII DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION The primary objective of the local government is to provide the state with effective and efficient government. This is explained in the provisions of the 1991 Local Government Code (LGC). It is not enough to have a competent administrator in order to achieve this but it also requires well-designed organizational structures at all levels of the government bureaucracy. The provision of local autonomy articulated in the LGC is a sincere response of the national leadership to the popular clamour of local government officials for more autonomy in local governance. The Code clearly defines the parameters of the political and corporate powers of the local government units. The body politic is due to a political subdivision of the national government. A.

Other posts can be appointed as the exigency of the work requires only after the creation is made by the Office of the Mayor and the accompanying resolution of the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP). These include the Environment and Natural Resources Officer, Architect, Information Officer, Cooperative Officer, Population Officer and General Services Officer.
