When we arrived at
the community, we
found out that the
barangay was
cloased. Because of
that, we decided to
interview the owner of
the Sari-Sari store
adjacent to the
barangay hall.
2 COMMUNICATION BASED ASSESSMENT BARANGAY
TACUNAN DAVAO CITY

However, she stated

that she was not
really familiar with the
issues in the
community and
advised the group to
go to the different
puroks.

The group first went

to Purok 1, where they
met Ms. Mary Ann N.
Casildo. There, she
narrated almost all of
the issues of the
barangay. The group
listened carefully to
her stories and asked
follow-up questions to
have a better
understanding of the
problems that she had
been mentioning.
After that, she told the
group to visit Purok 3
where there is a lack
of proper electricity
connection and road.

On our way to Purok

3, we decided not to
go further because of
safety issues, since an
ARRUPE Volunteer did
not accompany us.

Our group next went

to Purok 6 where we
met Ms.
Sally R. Naquila, a
member of a religious
group of the barangay
and Jandro Clapano, a
second year college
COMMUNICATION BASED ASSESSMENT BARANGAY 3
TACUNAN DAVAO CITY

student of Assumption
College of Davao.
Both of them cited the
key issues of their
purok and stated their
opinions about it.

Lastly, our group went

to Purok 5, kilometers
away from the
barangay hall. We saw
the leaders of the
purok gather in their
waiting shed, waiting
for the arrival of the
AdDU NSTP students.
While waiting, we
engaged in a casual
conversation with
them by asking
questions about their
purok. The group
didnt have a hard
time, for the people
were very interactive
and accommodating.
After having our
conversation with
them, their children
accompanied us to
where they live to
show us the danger
brought by their
problem.

Moreover, a week
after, the group went
to the barangay and
have established
dialogue with the
officials.

They have verified the

issues raised by the
residents and

As Mr. Batilong has

also stated, some of

also stopped going to

their growing

conducted by the
group that the
residents of

address their
concerns to their
barangay.

of the community,
according to Brgy
Kagawad Elvira I.
Renoy during
interview.

However, Kagawad
Renoy constantly
informs the group
about the budget
deficiency of the
baranggay.

Even if the barangay

presents alternative
solutions to the
people of the
community, there will
always be an
allocation of budget
and the barangay
doesnt have that
much to fund some of
the proposed projects
by its people.

Nevertheless, the
baranggay respond to
the people of the
community as far as
they can.

STEP 4 We have found out

that the root cause of
problem stems down
to lack of
reinforcement of the
importance of
education among the
students.

The students can also

cut classes anytime
they want because
they have the
 COMMUNICATION BASED ASSESSMENT BARANGAY 7
TACUNAN DAVAO CITY

freedom to go in and
out of the campus,
without any security
guards.

The problem is also on

the internet cafes that
cater students during
class hours because
its business as usual.
There are already laws
that prohibit students
from entering into
these shops yet this
was not put to mind
because of two things:
(1) the owners have
never heard of such
laws and (2) these
laws werent strict
enough.

HISTORY

The Birth of Tacunan

Many stories have been told about the creation of Barangay

Tacunan, mostly from the elders who witnessed its birth. In 1920,
Tacunan was named after Tau Nunn, an American teacher who came
to the place and taught the people how to read and write. The people
loved him clearly because of his charisma and for being friendly. Few
years later, people from Luzon and Visayas migrated to Tacunan.

During the Japanese regime, Davao city was considered little

Japan and some Japanese went to settle in Tacunan. They used the
settlers as laborers and introduced some new farming technologies to
 COMMUNICATION BASED ASSESSMENT BARANGAY 1
TACUNAN DAVAO CITY 1

the farmers, converted some forest are to coconut and abaca

plantations.

Colonel Magata built his house at the area where Tacunan

Elementary School is now located. Beside the house is the Japanese
hospital for its army. During the World War II, the Japanese imperial
army put up a garrison in Tacunan and because of this, the civilians
evacuated the place and sought a safer place to live.

The Japanese settlers then joined the Imperial army. After the
World War II, some people from Ilocos, Cebu, Bohol, Leyte and some
other places came and settled in Tacunan. In 1947, Mrs. Rosita
Ramas, a comadrona was appointed as the first Teniente del Barrio
and established six sitios namely Colagsoy, Calubian, Campo3, Campo
8, Biatilisan and Kasimo.

In 1953, Tacunan Elementary School was extablished and built

at the 5.4-hectare area donated by Mr. Melanio Braganza. He later
became the first elected barangay captain after the conduct of a
barangay election in 1960. Tau Nunn was renamed Tacunan under the
Presidential Proclamation.

In 1960, Tacunan was the haven of the rebels of the New

Peoples Ar,y. Many civilians were forced to support the rebels
because of the death threats. The civilians gave revolutionary taxes to
the rebels either in case or in kind such as livestock, fruits and rice.
The residents longed for peace thus the government negotiated with
the people and gained their support. Eventually, the rebels were
defeated and peace reigned once again in Tacunan.

In 1983, the barangay celebrated its first Araw ng Tacunan and

renamed sitios to Puroks. Different organizations were formed and
established cooperatives. In 1990, water system was installed at
Purok 8, since it was nearest purok in Mintal.

In 1992, Tacunan was fortunate enough because it was chosen

as the site of D.S.Cs projects, the community Audio Tower System
(CATS), and came the birth of the DXRT Radyo Tacunan. It was a pilot
project of UNBP-FAO and made impact to the barangay because it
opened the door for many opportunities since it because the linkage
between Nongovernment offices (NGOs) and Government offices. The
NGOs helped the people of the barangay by giving trainings and
seminars like skills and leadership trainings. The Government
Agencies like the Department of Agriculture (DA) extended their
livelihood assistance to the barangay.
12 COMMUNICATION BASED ASSESSMENT BARANGAY
TACUNAN DAVAO CITY

From then on, many organizations were formed and established

in the barangay such 4H Club, NAGKABATA, TASCOFAMCO (Tacunan
Small Coconut Farmers Coop.), SATAWO and BATADECO (Brgy.
Tacunan Development Coop), BTMAA, PROFAT, TADAFCO and man
others.

Barangay Tacunan was considered a remote area before it has

gained popularity and became well known because of the several
awards it had received.

In 1999, Barangay Captain Arnold Asobe was awarded as the

Outstanding Young Farmer at the District, City and Regional level and
became a finalist at the National level. In 2001, Carmelita Parantar
won the Barangay Nutrition Scholar first place at the District and City
level. In 2005, Barangay Tacunan was one of the awardee of Gender
Development (GAD).

Different subdivision were also established nearby including

Deca Homes Resort and Residence, which consists of 10 phases, and
Barangay Pag-asa Homeowners Association as the Urban Poor making
the population rate increase in the area. It is a proof that the
Barangay Tacunan is one of the most livable barangays in Davao City.
In 2010, Davaos only existing wakeboard resort was established in
the barangay at DECA WAKEBOARD.

The Davao City Water District (DCWD) signed a memorandum

agreement (MOA) as partner of the Barangay Tacunan in establishing
the first Eco-Tourism Tree Park in Tugbok District. The tree park was
funded by the DCWD and it was developed of the different sectors in
the barangay.

The dreams of every constituent to have a barangay high school

also came true. The Barangay Council of Tacunan has worked for the
project thus the Tacunan High school was born. It was established last
June 2011 at the 2.2-hectare site donated by Tacunan Elementary
School. It is an annex of Mintal Comprehensive High School with the
help of concerned people and Dr. Ma. Inez Casona Asuncion, Asst.
Schools Superintendent, who is a lumad of the Barangay Tacunan.

With the help of the different government agencies and non-

government agencies, Tacunan will not just be a remote are as it was
before, but it will be a place that the constituents could be proud of.

BARANGAY PROFILE

GEOGRAPHY

Barangay Tacunan is one of the 18 barangays of Tugbok District

under the Third Congressional District. It is located 18 kilometers
away from Davao City Hall and around 4 kilometers away from Davao-
Bukidnon Road.

The Barangay was bounded by Barangay Matina Biao on the

North, Barangay Langub on the east, Barangay Mintal and Barangay
Catalunan Grande on the South and Barangay Tugbok and Barangay
Ula on the west. At present its political subdivision consists of 11
puroks.

TOPOGRAPHY

Tacunan is an agricultural land consisting a total land is of 940

hectares. The area is elevated 200 feet above sea level but of the total
land area, 70% is characterized as flat terrain while the remaining
30% characterized by sloping hills or rolling lands. Still, the 940
hectares was classified as 0.6% institutional, 43.82% residential, and
1.06% commercial. The area has generally fertile soil with clay as its
soil type.

Climate

One reason characterized the area. Months from January to May are
considered to be dry reason while the remaining months or mid-year,
from June to December, as consider as wet seasons. June and July are
the times of the year when heavy rains would flow. This would cause
flood on some part particularly Purok 4, Purok 5 and Purok 1 as result
of deforestation and salivations of creeks.

Infrastructure

The main road of Brgy. Tacunan was built thru the initiative of Senator
Ramon Revilla , Sr. There were several infrastructure built in the
barangay funded by the City Government such as Women Center
building built in 2009, road concreting at Purok 2 and 5 and the
construction of bleacher funded by the Third District Representative
Congressman Isidro Ungab. The Tacunan Gym was funded by the
former Congressman Eliaz Lopez, Jr. The two classroom building
nearly established Tacunan High School is currently being
constructed which was funded by the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of

Depende ra man pud na siya gud sa ginikanan kay ako wala ko

nagabawal. Naa lang pud koy time limit sa ilaha ug naa pud koy time
na ginahatag. Dili man pud gud pwede na puro na lang study. Para sa
ako-a, ni-agi pud baya ko ug pagkabata. Nagapangita pud ko ug time
na bonding, ana. Maunang sila, dili pud kaayo nako sila gina kuan..
malipay lang jud ko na makita nako na na-addict na jud siya, kontrolan
najud nakoug maayo.

I: wala man kaya ni-abot sa time teh na murag nagadlawan na imung

anak ug sigeg..

Ay dili. Kung gustohon pwede pero sa ako, wala. Dili nako sila gina-
allowg ingana. Labaw nag kanang skwela, skwela pa pagka-ugma.
Ubang parents man gud, pag-skwela bawal, bawal jud. Ako-a, maski
naa pay eskwela pwede, naa jud siyay limit.

I: pila pud ka-oras ang ginahatag nimo sa imong anak teh?

Wala man. Basta.. ako, ang gusto nako sila jud ang mag-adjust pero

Ay, dili pud kay para sa ako-a laaganan pud baya ning amoa so unsa
pa ang iyahang rason na mulaag pud sa lain. Isa pud kay lahi pud sa
uban kay kung mu-ingon ka ug skwela, skwela pud sila kay gina-
interview man pud nako sila pareha aning isa nako, sa tinuod lang
gipa-undang nako siya kay murag gi-laay siya sa iyang pagskwela. ko
sige, gusto ka istambay sa ka sa kompyuteran. Gitagaan nako siya ug
time, kutob siya first grading, kay kuan usahay, wala na nako gipa-
exam kay murag tulog-tulugan na lang man ang klase. Dili musulat,
dili muhimo ug assignment. Pero para sa ako-a dili pud dahilan ang
kompyuter kay karon baya ang mga maestra dili baya mu-ingon ug
research mo didto sa library didto baya gyud sa internetan, dba? Dili
man pud nila i-rason na ang kompyuteran ang nakapadaot sa
estudyante. Naa may mga anak pud sa maestra na diri manganhi,
paanhion, ana. Depende lang na siya sa parents jud na siya. Kay kung
ang bata pud jud nga na medyo kuan, para sa akoa katong wa pa mi
computer pa,magresearch man jud akong anak. Kuyugan, hantod
nakadecide mi na mupalit ug amoa kay murag napansin naman namo
na murag diri naman pa-ingon sa kompyuteran ang gastos sa mga
bata dili naman library, pareho sa amo na library man gyud mi. Mao
nang dili pud nimo siya pwede bawalan kay karon naa na jud sa
kompyuteran ang ilang ano.. ang mga ilahang makit-an unsa dapat
ilang studyhan. Ana na bitaw na sila kay diri bitaw nagapatournament
mi kanang dula-dula mga bata, i-apil pud nako. Ultimo pud akong
kinder kabalo pero naa pud siyay limit. Kabalo na siya asa muadto
kung asa pangitaon kanang mga ABCD, ako na asiyang kuanon,
kabalo na siya asa muadto kay murag sa akoa dili na siya maglisod
pag-tme ba kay ako tiguwang na gud ko nakatungtong ug kompyuter,
diba? Sila karon, bata pa kabalo na mo kompyuter

Sydney D. Basalan
Internet Owner

Ang kana mang gong. Isa sa mga factors ngano ang bata bata ma-adik
sa kuan sa internet kay ang uban kay wala na silay pakialam sa ilang
family, murag ang ilaha na lang, ang ilaha na lang kuan, unsa tawag
ani, way of para malingaw sila, mag internet na lang sila or para pud.
Isa pud na siya na factor na ang uban na bata kay kanang, ila na lang
gina, not really tanan gyud bata ma- murag involve sa internet bitaw
kay ilaha lang murag kuan lang pastime, tapos ang uban pud kuan
kanang para dili sila mag sigeg kung naa sila sa sulod sa balay lang.
sige lang ug kanang, sigeg kasaba si mama. Sigeg kasaba si papa. So,
muadto na lang sila ug kompyuteran para ma-kuan sila, malingaw sila
at the same time madula sila at the same time. daghan pud nga mga
instincts na. dili man sa ingon na adik but pag naa silay isa ka games
na gusto unya dili nila mahuman, so ilaha gyud ng balikbalikan.
