HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The town of Masicu which might have derived its name from an exotic fruit tree called Sicu or Chico or as other historians wrote that it was
named so because of the great abundance of water within the settlement, is situated on the eastern side of the capital city of San
Fernando. Masicu used to include in its geographical jurisdiction some areas of San Fernando and Angeles before these metropolitan
areas were organized as independent cities. The Spaniards romanticized the town’s name to Mexico. Some people say that the difficulty of
Spaniards in pronouncing its original name and their familiarity with the country of Mexico might have been the reason for renaming it as
Mexico. Other people believe that the assignment of Catholic priests and soldiers from Mexico during the Spanish occupation of the
Philippines might be responsible for renaming the town in honor of their beloved home country.
When water transportation was still the primary means of travelling, the town of Mexico had a river port for passenger and cargo ships. It
was then the primary trading center in Eastern Pampanga. The construction of good roads and railroads passing through San Fernando
and Angeles diminished the commercial activities in Mexico. The town proper was transferred before the outbreak of the Philippine
Revolution to its present location which is on the junction of the national road leading to the towns of Sta. Ana, Arayat and Candaba.
One of many famous native sons of Mexico is General Rafael Maniago of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, a descendant of the valiant
warlord Francisco Maniago who led the Kapampangans in revolting against Spain in 1660. This 17th century uprising was caused by the
natural love of freedom of the Kapampangan, the frequent recruitment of Kapampangan men to cut timber for the construction of Spanish
galleons and hatred for the vandala meaning the sale by force of native products particularly rice to the Spanish authorities at prices and
payments determined by the Spaniards. Franscisco Maniago and his troops were later pacified with the intercession of an Augustinian friar,
Fr. Andres de Salazar who conferred with Governor General Lara who agreed to meet the demands of the Kapampangan people which
4
included the general pardon to all rebels, payment of P14,000 to the Kapampangans as initial installment of the total government
indebtedness amounting to P200,000 and the timber cutters were given time to attend to their domestic activities.
Another Filipino hero who hailed from the town of Mexico was General Maximino Hizon who played an important role both during the
Philippine Revolution against Spain and during the Filipino-American War. He served as supreme commander of all Filipino forces in
Pampanga who fought the Spaniards and Americans.

The town of Mexico was not significantly damaged by the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo or by the annual flow of lahar in other towns. The
good people of Mexico responded to the call of duty to care for calamity victims who lost their homes. Thousands of these people who lost
their homes are now resettled in Mexico.

Fertility Indices
Crude Birth Rate (CBR)
Below is the summary of livebirths by sex in the municipality for the period of three years (1997-1999). For the past three years, the number of
livebirths for female is greater that the number of livebirths of male. The ratios are 9 males for every 10 females for 1997, 8 males for every 10
females for 1998 and, 9 males for every 10 females for 1998.

1999 1635 776 859
1998 398 176 222
1337 1830 868 962
Crude birth rate is computed between the number of livebirths and number of individuals in a specific population. The value is expressed as
number of livebirths per one thousand populations in a given year.
The municipality of Mexico has a 1,635 total number of livebirths for the year 1999 and a total population of 96,232.
38
Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR)
Maternal mortality rate is the number if women of women who die as a result of child bearing in a given year per one thousand births in that year.
For the period of 1999, no incident was reported on women who died due to complications of pregnancy or childbirth.

Causes of Mortality and Morbidity Ten Leading Causes of Mortality for the Last Three Years
The table below shows the leading causes if mortality in the municipality for the period 1997 to 1999.
Cardio-Vascular Diseases is the most common causes of mortality for the year 1997 (103 deaths) and 1998 (142 deaths). On the other hand, for
the period 1999, out of ten leading causes of mortality, Myocardial Infarction is the most common causes for mortality (126 deaths). It is a
disease that causes the inflammation of the heart muscle. It is most commonly caused by, or associated with, viral infection, although it can occur
in connection with many other diseases, infections, and hypersensitivity states. In most cases it involves the entire heart. Symptoms usually are
an aching pain over the heart, often associated with fever, rapid pulse, and often lowered blood pressure. If severe, the impaired function of the
muscle may cause heart failure. In the municipality, the common ages infected with this disease are those in the age of 50 and over. Next
recorded leading causes of mortality are cancer (40 deaths) and, pulmonary tuberculosis (23 deaths). Accidents (7 deaths) is the least of the ten
leading causes of mortality in the municipality for the period 1999.

Ten Leading Causes of Morbidity
Table 4.6 shows the leading causes of morbidity in the municipality for the years 1997 to 1999. Out of the ten leading causes, ARI is the most
common cause of morbidity. For the past three years more than half of the total number from the 10 leading causes are due to ARI. For the
period 1999, next to ARI are HPN (2,090), diarrhea (1,757) and skin disease (1,463)

Note: For year 2001 – Mortality rate is incomplete
Based on the previous statistics on different mortality rates on the year 1998 to 2000, there was a downward trend in the number of
deaths among the general population of all causes, the number of infant deaths as well as maternal deaths related to pregnancy. Despite the
lowering of life expectancy, total death have decline (in Mexico) which could not be attributed to a single factor since the causes of death
have decline vary from natural to non-natural causes including a wide spectrum of fatal debilitating diseases.
44
With the decreases in infant and maternal death probably due to better education of the mother, during prenatal and childbirth
period through the Maternal and Child Care Program of DOH rendered by health workers and other medical personnels. Other program of
DOH includes expanded program on immunization, family planning, nutrition, etc.
Leading causes of mortality: five (5) year population
1) cardiovascular disease
2) cancer (all types)
3) cerebro vascular accidents
4) PTB
5) DM
Cardiovascular diseases remain to be the no. 1 cause of death for the past three (3) years and expected to remain due to various risk
factors such as dietary habits (high fats) changing lifestyles (sedentary) chronic smoking, obesity at an early age, lack of necessary exercises
etc.
Cancer remains consistent at rank 2 for the past years can be expected to remain at its position since many cancers remain to be
undiagnosed till at its advance stages despite the media effort on how to screen at an early stage like “breast cancer” etc.
45
Leading Causes of Morbidity: Five (5) year projections
1) ARI
2) Hypertension
3) Diarrhea
4) Skin diseases
5) Musculo skeletal disorders
Acute respiratory infection, is by far the most common illness experience among the pediatrics population. Mainly cause by a viral
infection, which is easily transferred to other persons and secondarily with a bacterial infection, which prolongs the signs and symptoms. This is
due mainly to crowding of family members, seasonal predilection, low body resistance sue to poverty and malnutrition, etc.
Hypertension remains to be at rank number 2 in addition to its genetic predisposition, risk factors, include dietary habits, high in salts and
fats, obesity, lack of exercise, lack of hypertensive medicines for maintenance due to high cost and poverty, etc.
Diarrhea at top three position partly due to contamination of water sources specially with amoeba which presents with abdominal
pain and watery to semi form stool. However, incidents could probably greatly lessen with the implementation with the proposed Mexico Water
District as their safe water source of drinking.
Skin diseases at top 4 position due to scabies, fungal infections remain high due to lack of therapeutic ointments like anti-fungals,
scabicides, high cost of these ointments, etc.
46
Musculo-skeletal diseases remains to be one among the most common disease among the geriatic population exemplified by
osteoarthritis, gouly arthritis, low back pain, myalgia, osteoporosis, etc.

number of deaths for the period of 1999 to 2005 is computed based on the crude death rate and projected population of the municipality. On the

The bulk of income source of the municipal of Mexico comes from the BIR allotments. It makes up for more than 86.7 percent of its municipal
revenues (Table 6.2). The other main income sources are local taxes, operating and service income and real property tax. All three income
categories are rising rapidly indicating their potential as a sustaining source of income for the municipality. The rise in current year property taxes
(RPT) could mean efficiency in tax collection. At the same time, the decrease in previous year RPT and penalties could mean fewer delinquents
payees.
