Location Midway from Mindanao to Luzon, Cebu is centrally located in the Vises Island. It is approximately between 9 degrees 25 minutes and 11 degrees 15 minutes latitude and between 123 degrees 13 minutes and 124 degrees 05 minutes east longitude. It is separated from the island of Bohol on the southeast by the Bohol Strait from Negros on the westby the Tañon Strait and from the Province of Leyte on the northeast by the Camotes Sea. The province is composed of about 167 islands and islets, which include the island groups of Mactan and Camotes on the east and Bantayan on the north east. At present, Cebu has seven (7) congressional districts, five (5) cities, fifty (53) municipalities and one thousand two hundred (1,201) barangays. b. Land The province has the total land area of 508,839 has. About 30% of the total land area of Region VII. c. Topography Cebu is a long narrow island located almost at the center of the Vises Island of the Philippines. It is composed of 166 islands and islets, the biggest of which is mainland Cebu. Cebu province is a narrow strip of land stretching about two hundred twenty (220) kilometers from north to south and about forty-one (41) kilometers at its widest portion which is central part of the province. The province is hilly and mountainous. A rugged mountain range traverses the entire length of the island from north to south although flatland can also be found along the island coastline.

2 Two types of climatic conditions affect the climate of Cebu Province: Northern Cebu falls under the fourth type, which is characterized, where rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year. It also receives the moderate effects of northeast monsoon, easterly wave and typhoon during these months. The central and southern part of Cebu falls in the third type of climate. The maximum rain periods are not very pronounced with short dry season lasting one to three months. Most part of the island is open to the southwest monsoon from July to September. Rainfall in this area is dependent mainly from the southwest monsoon and the seven (7) percent of the typhoon occurrence in the months from June to November d. Prevailing Winds The most common air currents are the northeast monsoon (from the high-pressure area of Asia); the trade winds (from the Pacific); and the southeast monsoon (from the southern hemisphere). The general directions of winds from these sources are from North to East (October to January), from the East to Southeast (February to April) and Southerly (May to September). e. Typhoon Frequency The province, lying within 10 oc 18' latitude, is very near the typhoon belt such that it more seriously affect the area, since the year 1948 to 1993, a total of 25 typhoons; 12 storms; 13 depressions occurred in 45 years. The frequency on 45 years is 1.1 cyclone per year. f. Drainage The province of Cebu as a whole is well drained. The topography of the land and the naturally porous underlying bedrocks favor rapid drainage. The alluvial plains have poor drainage while the bottom lands keep standing water throughout the year. Mactan and Bantayan Islands have rolling lands with very low hills and soils, with the exception of the Medellin series have a good to excellent permeability, which prevents the concentration of run-off. 2.

6 AGRICULTURAL SITUATION A. General Situation Extreme poverty characterized the general situation of Cebu's population especially the farmers, fisherfolks and agricultural workers. It has the highest number of agricultural population by farm households in the region of about 339,000 peasants. Most of them are tenants tilling an average farm size of about 0.25 to 0.29 hectares per household. The income from cultivating the said area has not at all been sufficient for the subsistence of an ordinary household whose members are six on the average. The problem of landlessness and near landlessness aggrevated by petrochemical farming have lowered the productivity of the peasants who have to give the landlord his clean 1/3 share despite the fact that the farmers bear the production costs and give all the labor. Worsening the problem is the lack of support services to agriculture like credit, transport services, irrigation, etc. and the lack of social services like health, education, etc. With the increasing cost of production and basic needs, the predominantly primitive farm technology and the lack of capital that spells productivity and the lack of agricultural support and social services, aggravated the proliferation of land use conversion in the countryside to give way to the government development plans, the farmers are pushed out of agriculture which ceased to be a lucrative endeavor and into the urban centers to scrounge around for a living in sub-human conditions. Such situation in the countryside is aggravated by the ecological degradation brought by mismanagement of the province's forest,soil and other land resources. Cebu has barely 1% or 5,000 hectares of forest cover where ideally 40% forest cover is needed to maintain a balanced ecosystem. Thus, the top soil is easily washed ddown from bald mountain sides. With this, Cebu exhibits perhaps the most severe soil erosion condition in the entire archipelago. This is true especially that Cebu's soil are physically and chemically highly unstable and thus extremely susceptible to erosion once denuded of their plant cover. Predominantly, 85% of Cebu's soils show moderate to severe erosion. Massive tree-cutting has also resulted to the lowering down of freshwater level because there are no more tree roots to absorb and retain rainwater. And because of the never-ending pumping out of underground fresh water, salty water rises up to freshwater level thereby threatening the portable water supply. The estimated seawater intrusion in Metro-Cebu is already two kilometers from the shoreline. The enormous soil erosion due to environmental mismanagement in the uplands not only cause damage to upland areas but also brought about rampant destruction to our coastal/nearshore areas as well. Per survey, only about 15-45% of the natural reefs in the coastal waaters of Cebu are healthy while the rest have either been phased out by dynamite fishing, trawl fishing, etc. The ongslauht of situation has been made faster with the continuing destruction of mangrove areaseither for fishpond development or more fuel use. Situation also has been blamed for the sea grassed and mollusks thrivinng on coasline. In its over-all assessment, ecological destruction of the nearshore has brought about the demise of important marine habitat and spawin areas that dramatically leadto the decline in fish population. Thus, fishermen now go farther out to sea and spend more time to catch what they used to do. Thus, lowly fisherfolks have to complete with biggtime commercial fishing operations. If not, they would need fishing inputs and high cost paraphernalia- which makes fishing unaffordable to a lowly

7 fishermen. Many are thus forced to resort again to destructive fishin methods in their desperate pliht for survival. There is also the proliferation of private ownership, commercialization of beaches and the operation of this fish and prawn farms that seals off the small fisherfolks access to what formerly were their communal fishin waters. Moreover, the lack of support services in the fishing industry and the lack of marine life presservation mechanism and the social services have exacerbated the wounds of destitution. Like our brother tillers, the small fishermen are driven into the urban centers to seek a better life. But agin, the cities can not offer much especially to a less educated people. So again, many ends up in misery and were trapped in illea; activities, burgeoning the slum populatio dubbed as "eyesoree" of the society. Cebu in its entirely, has lon been noted for the environmental problems caused by the servere denudattion of its hills and mountains and the improper land useby its inhabitants. B.

11 I Grand A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ISLAND OF CEBU Of the 7,100 islands comprising the Philippines, Cebu has the most historical significance. At the time of the global scramble for exotic spices in the East, a Portuguese navigator sailing for Spain, Fernando Magallanes, came upon Zubu (Cebu) on April 7, The island then was already a flourishing village with many sailing vessels from Siam (Thailand), China and Arabia docked at the port as described by Antonio Pigafetta, Magallanes chronicler. Thus began the Spanish era in the Philippines. This however deteriorated upon the death of Magallanes in the hands of the brave local warrior, Lapulapu, only to resurrect with the arrival 44 years later, in 1565, of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. Cebu came a chartered city on February 24, In the 19 th century, Cebu started to exercise a dominant role in Southern Philippines economic limelight. Agriculture, especially sugar can cultivation and sugar manufacturing, pushed Cebu into playing an important role in this part of the country. But even more crucial than the agricultural products was her participation in trade and commerce. Referred to as the Queen City of the South and the seat of early Filipino Christianization, Cebu is also famous for its musical stringed instruments like banduria, guitar and piccolo. Today, Cebu boasts of being the only city in the Philippines with the perfect blend of a business center and an entertainment hub.
