A Glimpse of the Town of AlubijidSocio-Economic Profile

The Municipality of Alubijid is located in the western coast of

Misamis Oriental.

The origin of the town’s name could be traced during the

pre-spanish time when what is now barangay Baybay had been

dotted by big trees named “ALUBIJID” (Spondias Pinnata (L.F.)

Kurz Anardiaceae). Legend had it that some of these trees have

become landmarks particularly the huge ones that have grown

near the “Bukana” of a river and a “Looc” which had been the

landing sites of different traders from other islands of the archipel-

ago. From these traders, the place where they used to land was

called “Alubijid”.

The natives from whom the traders visited had congregated

on a place called “ILIHAN HILL” near a river. It was an ideal dwelling

place of the natives since from its summit one could see Macajalar

Bay and even the seas beyond Sulawan Point and could immedi-

ately view the incoming vessels of any traders and marauders. The

place was also called “CALUMAT” coined from the word “Cauban,

Agpas, Lukso, Ugma, Mamatay, Anak Tanan”, a password adopt-

ed by the natives to warn them of surprise attacks of pirates and

other marauders.

The natives’ settlement had expanded as f ar as Barangay

Talaba and Sampatulog which are also elevated areas. Recent

findings showed that some residents of the areas had excavated

chinese porcelains, brass gongs and old coins on site. Active trad-

ing between the natives in these places and visiting traders had

continued up to the Spanish influence in the late 18th century.

Dean Manuel Gapuz who conducted investigations and re-

searches of the history of the town noted that these settlements

were visited also by Sultan Kudarat of Cotabato when he was re-

cruiting forces to fight against the invading Spaniards. Some of

Kudarat’s men stayed in the place and inter-married with the na-

tives. He further noted that as early as 1861, Alubijid was already an

established community headed by local leaders until the outbreak

of Philippine Revolution against Spain in 1896.

Based on archival records of the team from the Archaeolog-ical Studies Program of the University of the Philippines – Diliman

(ASP-UPD) headed by Prof. Lee M. Neri,, it was about this time that

3-brick making “kilns” or “hornos” were put-up by Spanish Jesuits

in Alubijid, Jasaan and Tagoloan, to help construct their churches

in Northern Mindanao, like the Holy Cross Church in Alubijid, Nues-

tra Sra. De las Nieves church in El Salvador and the Immaculada

Concepcion church in Jasaan.

Alubijid horno is the only “Kiln” in Misamis Oriental tha

built during the Spanish period that survived the onslaught o

It is believed to be over a 100 years old, and many resident

pride of the fact that the prime Alubijid Bricks were used as

ing materials of the famous 3-centuries old Baclayon Chu

Bohol.

During the American occupation in the early 20th ce

Alubijid was attached to Cagayan as a barrio. It was from th

ble beginning that the present m unicipality has emerged.

On May 26, 1933, the Municipal C ouncil of Cagayan d

Misamis Oriental passed Resolution No. 290 recommendin

barrios of El Salvador and Alubijid to become two separate d

municipalities. Immediately the people of Alubijid, headed b

Daniel S. Galarrita made a petition for the creation of Alubij

a municipality. He was supported by Ricardo Abellanosa, V

A. Sabellina, Timoteo Balacuit, Sr., Wenceslao Abellanosa, Q

Villastique, Remedios Jamis Generalao, Onofre Ubayubay

M. Roxas, Ismael B. Labis, Arcadio Balacuit, Luis Balacuit,

Madjos, Bernabe Pacamalan, Eugenio Madrid and Januar

calaguing among others. So that on June 4, 1933, Provincia

ernor Segundo Gaston promised the people of Alubijid who

gathered on assembly that he will personally bring the petit

the creation of Alubijid into a municipality and work for the ap

with the Department of Interior in Manila.

To strengthen the movement, Att y. Daniel S. Galarrita

Rep. Isidro Vamenta, Acting Senate President Jose A. Clar

Sen. Juan Toralba of the 11th Senatorial District to help fac

the approval of the petition for Alubijid to become a munic

on June 4, 1933. From that period on, the people steadily pu

their objectives.

At last, on November 14, 1937, the Undersecretary of

terior Hon. Rufino Luna sent to the Provincial Board of M

Oriental, a communication outlining the necessary require

for the creation of the new municipality of Alubijid. The petit

promptly prepared the requirements and after more than a ypreparation sent it back to the Secretary of the Interior for act

December 21, 1938. The Department of the Interior submit

the President of the Philippines with favorable recommendat

the organized portion of the Municipality of Cagayan to form i

independent Municipality of Alubijid on April 18, 1939.

Finally on April 5, 1940, His Excellency Manuel L. Qu

portion of the Municipality of Cagayan, Misamis Oriental with the

following barrios: Gitagum, Laguindingan, Kibaghot, Matangad,

Mauswagon and Pangayawan. The new born Municipality of Alu-

bijid was formally inaugurated on July 1, 1940 with Don Gregorio

Pelaez, the Provincial Governor inducting the newly appointed offi-

cials who were as follows:

Timoteo Balacuit Sr. - Municipal Mayor

Ismael B. Labis, Sr. - Municipal Vice Mayor

Felix Roxas - Municipal Councilor

Bernabe Pacamalan - Municipal Councilor

Eugenio Madrid - Municipal Councilor

Bartolome Tabura - Municipal Councilor

Timoteo Abejo - Municipal Councilor

Lino Maagad - Municipal Councilor

Felixberto Roxas Sr. - Municipal Secretary The first Municipal Building was a two-storey house donated

by the Late Jose Akut for school purposes but utilized as the seat

of the municipal government.

After more than a year from

its creation, the first local election

was held on November 11, 1940,

in which the elected officials

were mostly the appointed ones

headed by Timoteo Balacuit, Sr.

as Municipal Mayor. Upon the

outbreak of the Second World

War on December 8, 1941, the

local civil government continued

its operation. However, on May

3, 1942 the Japanese Imperial

Forces captured and occupied

Cagayan, the capital town and

placed all civil government offices under the Japanese Military

control including the town of Alubijid.

As the war progressed, the guerilla forces under Major Angels

Limena captured and occupied the town of Alubijid on October

22, 1942. The Japanese-backed government was immediately dis-

banded and the town was placed under the military control of the

109th Infantry Division. The restoration of the postwar local government of Alubijid

was effected on January 1, 1945, with appointed Municipal Offi-

cials namely:

Municipal Mayor: Bartolome Tabura

Vice Mayor: Enrique Abellanosa

Municipal Councilors:

Remedios J. Generalao Pablo Sabellina

Ismael B. Labis Lino Maagad

Valeriano Blanco Timoteo Abejo

Normalization was undertaken and the people started to work

for their development. One of their pressing agenda was the ad-

vancement of the educational level of the residents, so that on July

1, 1947, the Alubijid Junior H igh School was opened with a popula-

tion of 112 students handled by four (4) teachers.

The first local election after the war took place in 1948 with

Jesus Ramos as Municipal Mayor. The town people continued to

march to progress and development and it was during this term

that Alubijid Junior High School was converted to Provincial High

School.

Ismael B. Labis, Sr., was

elected Municipal Mayor in 1952

and continually held the office

from 1952 to 1971. During his

incumbency, the town expandedits territories by virtue of Execu-

tive Order No. 96 dated February

9, 1955, to Barrio Lourdes once

a Municipal District of Bukidnon.

However, Barrio Gitagum sepa-

rated and became an indepen-

dent Municipality on June 8, 1961

with barrios Matangad and Pan-

gayawan under its jurisdiction and Barrio Laguindingan separated

as well and became an independent municipality taking barrios

Kibaghot and Mauswagon with it on July 22, 1963. Despite these

separations, many new barrios were created namely Barrio Sun-

gay in 1953; Barrio Lumbo in 1954; Barrio Taparak in 1957; Barrio

Benigwayan, Molocboloc, Sampatulog and Calatcat in 1960; Bar-

rio Loguilo, Lagtang and Talaba in 1963; Barrio Baybay in 1965,

Barrio Tugasnon in 1966 and Barrios Lanao and Tula in 1968.

In the field of education, Mayor Labis together with local edu-

cators headed by Mr. Francisco Galarrita, the Alubijid High School

Principal worked for the nationalization of the s chool, and the same

was approved on June 24, 1964 by virtue of R.A. 3877 which pro-

posal was drafted through the dedicated efforts among others,

of Atty. Federico M. Gapuz and Atty. Damaso Tubelleja, both for-

mer secretaries to the Late Congressman Vicente de Lara, who

further facilitated the passage of the bill, making the school the first

national high school in Northern Mindanao. Among other signifi-cant achievements of his administration were the construction of

the Municipal Amphitheater, the groundworks for inst allation of the

Poblacion Watersystem, and the organization of the first Cooper-

ative Credit Union in Western Misamis Oriental, which eventually

led to the organization of the Misamis Oriental Electric Service Co-

operative (MORESCO), also the first rural electric cooperative in the

country. The switching of MORESCO sub-station in Barrio Lumbo

was on September 26, 1971 and the occasion was witnessed by

then President Ferdinand E. Marcos.

On this very important occasion, I would like

to pay tribute to the men and women who

have worked tirelessly to build this town

that it is today. I also recognize the past

and present town officials and other civil

servants for their untiring determination and

hard work in succeeding the town’s devel-

opment endeavors.

Congratulations to the

Municipality of Alubijid on their75th Diamond Jubilee Celebration!

A diamond’s beauty is not seen after itis dug out of the mine. Its appearancelooks very crude, lackluster and dull.But after polishing it, who would havethought that such stone is extraordinary;

that it is precious; and that it is brilliant. That is a diamond!

The Municipality of Alubijid possesses these

qualities.

Some 75 years ago, it was dug out of

from the portion of the then Municipality of

Cagayan, Misamis Oriental through Execu-

tive Order No. 266 of the President of the

Philippine Commonwealth, His Excellency

Manuel L. Quezon. The new-born munic-

ipality was formally inaugurated on July 1,

1940 with my late great grandfather Don

Gregorio Pelaez as the Provincial Governor.

By that time, nothing would have seen the

extraordinary attributes of Alubijid; nothing

would have seen its value; and nothing has

seen its brilliance!

But through time, Alubijid was polished,

refined and cultivated. Like a diamond, it ra-

diates its legacy to the Province through its

contribution in tourism and agriculture.

As you cel ebrate your Diamond Jubilee, let

us look back to the events that shaped Aju-

bijid today. Let us relieve the gracious past

and learn from the lessons it gave to us.

But let us also focus on what the future may

bring. As the Laguindingan Airport brings

development to the 2nd District of the Prov-

ince, Alubijid is apparently a major benefi-

ciary to this development. Take advantage

of this opportunity for the bright future of

Alubijid and Misamis Oriental in general.

Indeed, “Alubijid: Kapituan ug Lima ka

Tuig nga Paghandum, Pasalamat ug

Pangandam sa Hagit Umaabot.”

Again, congratulations Alubijid and let us

celebrate this milestone for A Happy MisOr!

HON. JOEY G. PELAEZ

Provincial Vice Governor

Misamis Oriental

As Alubijid has great potential tourism sites,

l hope to see you further strengthened in

your role of effectively and efficiently helping

us implement programs for tourism devel-

opment of the province as a key driver to-

wards achieving socio—economic growth

of this province.

On this occasion, I wish everyone of Alubijid

a fun—filled Diamond Jubilee Celebration!

HON. YEVGENY VICENTE B. EMANO

Provincial Governor

Misamis Oriental

Notable citizens came together with stead-

fast commitment and burning passion to es-

tablish a separate entity apart from the old

mother town we were appended to. Thus, a

personality unique and different was made,

and came to be known as ALUBIJIDNON

– hardworking, passionate, firm, decided,

united and cautiously optimistic.

With the theme: Alubijid: Kapituan ug

Lima Ka Tuig sa Paghandum, Pasalamat

ug Pangandam sa Hagit sa Umaabot , I

could imagine the seemingly insurmount-

able difficulty our past leaders have to deal

with in the quest to establish Alubijid. In the

throes of an impending war and with the

nation not yet fully independent, our forefa-

thers did not wait for their conclusion, but

with collective conviction, forged on to pur-

sue the noble call of the time – Alubijid now,

not soon or after. To them, our plaudits and

acclamation.

Hence, aside from reminiscing the glorious

past we should allow thanksgiving equal

billing as the theme of our celebration. They

Greetings to us all on the occasionof the 75th foundation of our belovedmunicipality. It is but just fit andproper that an important milestone ofour town’s history be commemoratedwith pomp and ceremony as tributeto the generations past who toiled

and labored, despite great odds, toorganize the Municipality of Alubijid.

managed to hurdle the challenges. Ours is

to continue to prosper and thrive.

The dream has not yet been totally fulfilled.

As a community, Alubijid is on another

phase of evolution which corresponding-

ly requires creative solutions and effective

responses. While the past may ask, Quo

Vadis?, we, the present, is confronted with

the meditative thought. Are we there yet?

To live, love, and serve Alubijid has no end.

To the young, it is not yet late to know; to

those old, it is too late to forget.

ALUBIJID sa gihapon.

HON. ALVIN GIOVANNI A. LABIS

Municipal Mayor

Alubijid, Misamis Oriental

Time and again founding anniversarycelebrations have always been joyfuland wonderful occasions, a comingtogether to strengthen the ties of unity

and bond as one strong people of thecommunity.

This year however, is more special as we

celebrate the Diamond Jubilee year of our

Beloved Town marking the 75 th year of its

existence as a Municipality. Indeed, from a

small village we sprang to be a solid and

resilient Alubijid, akin to the tree to which our

town was named after.

In the midst of all our merriment, let us re-

flect on our accomplishments and renew

our commitment to share and continue to

pursue a brighter future for Alubijid.

Let us therefore continue to be the trees that

had become landmarks to this archipelago

and remain the “CALUMAT” that we are

to one another as we face the challenges

ahead.

Alubijid: Kapituan og Lima ka Tuig sa Pa-

ghandum, Pasalamat, og Pangandam sa

this joyous occasion and it is my honor and

Through the years, the town served as the Center of Academic Excellence in this part of the world, produc-ing highly educated and socially responsible citizens inthe region and beyond. Equally important, it providedaccess to quality affordable education, making livesbetter, empowering people, transforming communities,and giving hope for a better life to the less fortunate.Serving precisely as what our founding forefathers en-visioned.

Today, Alubijid reaches its platinum age at an excit-ing time. December 2015, the ASEAN Free Trade

Area Agreement will be fully implemented. The flow ofgoods, services, investment, capital and skilled labor inthe region will run completely free; Mindanao is set tolaunch a Bangsamoro nation at its core; neighboringLaguindingan International Airport was opened; a sea-port is laid out for construction right in the Baybay area;

How we take advantage of the above opportunities

and meet the difficulties they bring, will mold the townour children will live in. The challenges ahead are enor-mous. But we are undaunted. We are descendant ofa people who are God-fearing, ingenious, fast-learn-ers, achievement-oriented, practical and imaginative.

They understand the critical role education plays in thebetterment of people’s lives. They dreamed of a townthat caters to the educational aspiration of its people.

We have had our share of problems as a people, butno one can deny us the achievements we have creat-ed for ourselves.

Having witnessed the Alubijid 75th Jubilee is something to be truly

proud of being an ALUBIJIDNON -an achievement in everyone’s life.

Today marks a time in history as we c ele-

brate and give honour to the town’s found-

ing anniversary. There are many things that

we should rejoice and be thankful to every-

body who made Alubijid to what it is today.

We are indebted to our forefathers be fore us

for the bounty we are enjoying at this mo-

ment. Looking back, I, as a Lumad of this

place, have witness the struggle and agony

of our leaders and the town’s people in the

fight against poverty. Educators witnessed

it unfold in the lives of our pupils. We cannot

deny the fact that it’s one of the factors that

hinders us to move forward and aim for ex-

cellence. But despite the many odds it neve r

stops us from reaching our vision in creating

a better future for our clientele. As partners

in public service we laboured and join hands

towards the realization of that goal and to

that we are forever grateful. My appreciation

goes out to all officials, who have supported

and walk with our people to reach this mile-

stone. We congratulate you for being dedi-

cated in upholding your mandate of public

service and accepting the challenges lay by

the people upon your shoulders.

Let us also not forget how blessed we are to

have witnessed this “Diamond Jubilee” cel-

ebration. It is with pride that we suppor t and

participate this once in a lifetime event. In

In 1947, right after the war, the passionate campaign of far-sighted local political lead-ers, educators and wise thinkers of the municipality, resulted in the establishment of

a Junior High School on site. This became a Provincial High School in 1948 and in1964 the school was upgraded to a National Comprehensive High School which todaystands at the heart of town. To meet Higher Education needs, the Bukidnon State Uni-versity External Studies Center – ANCHS was further created in 1981.

On Public Financial Management System

In 2012, the Department of Budget and Management required

each Local Government Unit to evaluate the performance of the

Public Financial Management which is a system of rules, proce-

dures and practices for government to manage public finances

from Budgeting, Accounting, Auditing, Cash Management, Man-

agement of Public Debt, Revenue Generation and Public Report-ing on Public Sector Financial Operations. A self-assessment in-

strument which is the Public Financial Management Assessment

Tool is d esigned to help institutionalize governance reforms and

enabling LGUs to assess and improve its PFM System as well as

generate information that will serve as basis for the PFM Improve-

ment Plan. It also serves as mechanism to determine which areas

need improvement.

There are seven (7) key elements of the PFM System where

the performance of the LGU is measured using the indicators relat-

ed to every dimension of a good PFM System as follows;

1. Policy- based Budgeting 5. Accounting, Recording

2. Comprehensiveness and Reporting

& Transparency 6. Internal and External Audit

3. Credibility of the Budget 7. Citizens’ Participation

4. Predictability and Control in Budget Execution

Based from the result of the evaluation and assessment of the

PFM Performance, the PFM Team prepared the PFM Improvement

Plan and adopt policy and reform measures to improve its PFM

particularly through the development and implementation of the

PFMIP. From year 2013 and years thereafter, the representative

from the Department of Budget and M anagement will evaluate the

LGU performance on PFM System based from its PFMIP.

the present. The program has current allocation of Php500,000.00.

For its holistic development, the scholars are regularly oriented

in values formation by voluntary pastors from Alubijid-Laguindin-

gan-El Salvador Ministers Assocition (ALEMA)

A story behind every action

An innovative multi-service extension program by t he LGU

dubbed as “BISITA SA BARANGAY” is an effort to provide services

to barangay residents ranging from civil registration, medical con-

sultation, animal health care, senior’s gift giving, business permit

processing, tax collection campaign and other rendition of existing

government services and programs. Residents are also afforded

face-to-face contact and consultation with local officials and can

verbally relate their issues and concerns to them, and in certain

instances, resolution afforded at hand.

An off-shot to the activity is the first-ever “BISITA SA COR-

RECTIONAL” at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology

Rehabilitaion Center in Initao where detainees awaiting tri

disposal of cases are held. Medical examination, food-sharin

basic provisions – giving were extended to them.

Service knows no boundaries..........

A manifestation of the local government’s effort to reac

and serve its constituents regardless of location - is the reh

tion of a Day Care Center located in remote Sitio Seriwagan,

gay Sungay. Firs t constructed in 1999 or thereabouts, com

partially through “pahina”, and materials brought then by

and horses, it was renovated and foundation retrofitted th

the assistance of the DSWD-X. At present, fifteen 3-4 ye

Pre-school children are enrolled supervised by a hardworkin

an organization of 14 LGUs and 2 cities in Misamis Oriental.

Alubijid, Misamis Oriental is the pilot area for the Social Mar-

For three consecutive years from 2011 to 2013, the M unicipal Government of Alu-

bijid has been awarded the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH) award by the Depart-

ment of the Interior and Local Government. The “Seal” is a national award recognizing

the exemplary performance of local government units in the areas of Sound Fiscal

Management, Transpar-

ency and Accountability,

and Valuing Performance

Management of the LGU.

Being a recipient of the

Seal of Good Housekeep-

ing, the Municipality of

Alubijid was then eligible

to access the “Perfor-

mance Challenge Fund”.

The PCF is an incentive

fund to LGUs in the form

of counterpart funding. For 2011, the PCF project cost-sharing scheme w

is on a 50-50 basis between DILG and LGU-Alubijid amounting to Two

pass all the three core assessment areas—Good Financial House-

keeping, Social Protection and Disaster Preparedness, and at leastone from the essential assessment areas—Business-Friendliness

and Competitiveness, Peace & Order or Environmental Management.

Early February of 2015, the LGU starts the year with a good news

coming from the Central Office of DILG recognizing the municipality

as passer of Good Financial Housekeeping, one of the core assess-

ment area of the SGLG. With this, the LGU qualifies in the release of

The Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) Congress on its 9th yearand moving forward. . .

. . . . “Best Performing Barangay Awards”

LGU Officials and Stakeholders Forum

We have been doing this for nine (9) years . . . The barangay officials of Alubijid annually hold its

ABC Congress since it started way back 2000. Through the initiative of Hon. Alvin Giovanni A. Labis,

incumbent Municipal Mayor, it is being designed for all barangay officials so they may accustom ways

and means in rendering competent public service. He also stresses that constant innovations with dis-

tinction in local governance should be sustained through the leadership of barangay officials being the

key catalyst of progress in the rural area. The holding of the congress needs to be fostered for stronger

cooperation on Barangay governance.

The ABC Congress is highlighted with the conferment of awards. From its pilot r un in 2010, LGU -

Alubijid has initiated the program on “Best Performing Barangay Awards”. This program has promoted

transparency and accountability in the operations of the s ixteen (16) barangays.

It is also in cognizant of Pres. PNOY’s call for transparent, honest and responsive governance.

The program on “Best Performing Barangay Awards” aims to realize the “Tapat na Palakad” at the

barangay level. Among others, and with special mention, the barangays have to disclose to the public,

through appropriate means, their budgets, finances as well as bids and public offerings for public scrutiny and reactions. This is in pur-

suant to DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2010-149 dated December 10, 2010. The good performance of the barangays is m easured in

four (4) Performance Areas, namely: Administration, Social Services, Economic Development and Environmental Management.

A significant workshop dubbed as “Consultative Forum on

Local Governance and Development with the Civil Society Organi-

zations (CSOs) and Local Government Offi cials” was recently held

in an exclusive venue at MORESCO Training Center, Laguindingan,

Misamis Oriental, wherein its main goal is to establish linkages and

cooperation between the stakeholders and the local government

officials for the common good of its constituents.

This one-day activity was attended by representatives from

the grassroots level and local government officials who are mem-

bers of the different local special bodies and various committees

in the municipality.

To name a few on the aforesaid councils and committees,

namely: Municipal Development Council, Municipal Peace & Order

Council, Local Council for the Protection of Children, Local Health

Board, Local School Board, Municipal Nutrition Council, Munici-

pal Anti-Drug Abuse Council, LocalHousing Board, Solid Waste Man-

agement Board, Municipal Disaster

Risk Reduction and Management

Council, among others.

The said workshop was a

unique opportunity for intense

knowledge sharing and discussion

in such one participatory planning

process because planning is more

effective when it is done through

active participation and genuine

involvement of grassroots organi-

zations. Also, it serves as an action

for developing consensus and gen-

erating commitments among different stakeholders toward action-

able items in coming-up with Agenda 2015 of the municipality.

The Consultative Forum has seven (7) working groups, each

focused on the following:

1. Peace and Order, Drug Abuse and Human Rights

2. Solid Waste Management, Environment, and Watershed

3. Fishery, Agriculture, Coop. Concerns and Organic Farming

4. Child Protection, Women, PWDs, Sr. Citizens, Youth, Educa-tion and Manpower Development

5. Tourism, Business Development, Labor & Employment, Water

Integration and Livelihood

6. Disaster Risk Reduction Management, Resettlement, Com-

munity Dev’t. Zoning and Land Use

7. Health, Nutrition and Population

ALISA… a Battle Won from Heart and Passioby: Wilfred A. Adviento

Alubijid-Loguilo Irrigators Service Association (ALISA ), Inc.,the name that provides the sweet aroma of the following rice fieldas one enters the Poblacion proper of the municipality of Alubijid;the name that supplies healthy and high quality rice to its peopleand the neighboring municipalities.

Businessmen may wonder why this part of Alubijid still re-mains a rice field, when industries are booming along the nationalhighways in the neighboring towns. What with the operation of theLaguindingan Airport which soon to expand as an internationalairport? Surely, businessmen are drooling over the potential of theuntouchable spread of the rice area. But this was already anticipat-ed by the original landowners and initiators of this project. Hence,the fight to protect the land that supplies the staple food for thecommunity from conversion into any other uses began way backin the history of ALISA. Considering its economic contribution tothe community which now grows into as high as 13.1 M/year, theLocal Government Unit under the administration of then MunicipalMayor Edilberto M. Ubay-ubay, created a resolution

to ensure that the rice arearemains to be able to provideenough for the community.The association was able toconcretize its stand with thesupport from no other thanthe President Fidel V. Ramos,who issued the Presidential

Administrative Order (AO)No. 20, 2.1992, and the De-partment of Agrarian Reform(DAR) Administrative OrderNo. 01, s. 2001, prohibitingthe conversion of the areainto any other use.

The concept of a ricefield from the original cornfield began in 1972, whenMr. Wilfred A. Adviento, anagriculture graduate anda school teacher was thepotential of a corn land forirrigation, and took it asa challenge. The task of organizing a farmers and landownersassociation is not an easy task. But with Mr. Adviento’s passionrippling into the other landowners, he gained the support of Atty.Daniel S. Galarrita, a retired government employee, and a respect-ed personality in the municipality. Mr. Galarrita was the catalystin forming and mobilizing the Alubijid-Loguilo Irrigators Service

Association (ALISA), Inc., in August 12, 1973. It was formally or-

ganized with the following first set of of ficers:President - Atty. Daniel S. Galarrita

Vice President - Mr. Francisco C. GalarritaSecretary/Treasurer - Mr. Wilfred A. AdvientoDirectors - Mr. Cornelio Y. Ypil - Mr. Celedonio C. Jamis

The association then worked on its plan, putting to heart itsvision and mission:

Vision: Alubijid as a rice producing community, with farmersof high productivity and contributing of food sufficiency.

Mission: To convert a 66 hectare corn and pasture located at Basacan, Loguilo, Alubijid, Misamis Oriental, productive rice field, assuring quality staple food for its pcreating jobs to small farmers in the form of farm labor, antributing to the economy of the community.

The struggle was not a joke. The sacrifice of time, effofinances of the initiators and original landowners can can nemeasured. But their hearts fueled their passion to continue thloans and assistance from government and church organiz

just to make the project functional. Various programs werducted and strategies were devised to solve water insufficduring summer days. Finally, I was a training on Total QualProductivity management (TQPM) for rice production in 199ducted by the Agricultural Training Institute, in partnershiNIA, PhilRice, NFA and LGU that high production with reducewas achieved by the farmers. After two training courses, fastarted practicing proper soil and water management, o

farming and other gies learned. From fif

cavans per hectare hnow farmers are harvnot less than 100 cavahectare per harvest. is now a very strong,cially capable organioperating an irrigatehectare rice area. Sremains to be true to vocacy putting to hevision and mission.

Alubijid Womens Club during the term of the late Mayoel B. Labis, circa 1960. Today, it is now dubbed as the Dr

P. Rizal Quadrangle.

It has been a long dream of everybody to develo

municipal quadrangle and be among the 21 municip

Alubijid sharing one passion in serving the public.

Little is known that our national hero, Jose Riza

lodges in Europe. The creation of the monument is an

breathe more zeal into the nationalism of the people of

jid. The Alubijidnons, together with the Free Masonry, c

a united community that is rooted in sheer love for the co

celebration, it created a whirlpool of burning passion
