Physical Profile

Samar Island lies Southeast of Luzon. It occupies the Northernmost section of Eastern Visayas (Region VIII). The province of Samar occupies the southwestern part of Samar Island. It has the largest area (559,100 has.) among the three provinces which constitute 42% of the island’s total land area and 26% of Region 8. The San Juanico Bridge connects Samar to the province of Leyte on the southeast across the San Juanico Strait. It is bounded by Northern Samar and Eastern Samar on the North and East, respectively. The provincial capital of the province is Catbalogan and is 107 kilometers from Tacloban City, the regional capital of Eastern Visayas.

Western Samar has two cities and 24 municipalities. It is divided into two districts. The first district consists of Calbayog City, municipalities of Gandara, Matuguinao, San Jorge, Sta. Margarita, Tarangnan, Sto. Niño, Pagsanghan, Tagapul-an and Almagro. On the other hand, the second district is composed of Catbalogan City, municipalities of Basey, Paranas, Hinabangan, San Jose de Buan, Villareal, Sta. Rita, Calbiga, Motiong, Pinabacdao, Daram, Marabut, Jiabong, Zumarraga, Talalora and San Sebastian. The province has a total of 951 barangays.

Western Samar is described as hilly and mountainous ranging from 200 to 800 meters high. Slopes are generally steep and bare of trees. Run-off rainwater on these slopes is substantial and can provoke flooding in lowland areas. Topsoil is carried to the sea, creating hydrosols and enlarging mudflats and mangrove areas. The erosion of mountain areas enlarges the coastal plains of Samar. The coastline is approximately 300 kilometers long, which boosts its rich fishing grounds and contributes much to our economy. Lowlands in Samar can be found in the area of Calbayog and on the deltas and small valleys of Gandara and Ulot rivers. Slopes are generally steep and bare of trees due to deforestation and “kaingin”. Run-off waters after heavy rains can provoke flooding in low-lying areas. It can also cause erosion of the mountain land, which affects coastal plains of the province.

The province falls under type II and IV climate. Type II is characterized by having no dry season with a very pronounced maximum rain period from December to February. Minimum monthly rainfall occurs during the March to May period. Areas characterized by this climate are generally along or very near the eastern coast, thus, open to the northeast monsoon. Municipalities in the southeastern part of the province experience this type of climate. Type IV climate has no maximum rain and no dry season (rainfall is more or less distributed throughout the year). This is an intermediate between the first and second types of climate, although it resembles the second type more closely, hence it has no dry season. The areas located at the Northwestern part of the province have this type of climate, and that includes the municipalities of Gandara, San Jorge, Pagsanghan, Tarangnan, Sta. Margarita, Sto. Niño, Almagro, Tagapul-an, Calbayog City and portions of Matuguinao and San Jose de Buan.

Western Samar has four main groups of soils covering 559,100 hectares, namely; soils at the Eastern portion of the province, soils at the central section, soils at the Northwestern portion, and soils in the Southwestern portion. The second group found in the central section of the province holds about 112,098.5 hectares. The soil typed predominating in this area is clay loam. The third soil group, which is the largest in terms of area, has about 234,092 hectares. Under this group, the Catbalogan clay loam is agriculturally the most vital soil type representing about 34% of the total area. The Tingib clay loam, Dolongan loamy sand, San Miguel clay loam, Biga-a clay loam, and Hydrosol make up the rest of the province’s soil cover. Most of these are found on plains and along the valleys where most of the agricultural crops are grown.

Approximately 62,663 hectares make up the fourth soil group. About 33,060 hectares are found in the municipalities of Villareal, Catbalogan and the island municipalities of Zumarraga and Daram. The rest are found in the southern tip of the province.

Agricultural Profile

The total agricultural land in the province constitutes about 18% or 101,954 hectares of its total land area. Western Samar is rich in agricultural crops.

Poverty Situation

Western Samar is included in the list of the poorest provinces in the Philippines with 43.5% poverty incidence among families in 2012. This province was one of the most affected areas by the super typhoon Yolanda that struck on November 8, 2013. Many livelihoods in the locals have been damaged. The poverty incidence among the population in the province of Western Samar is at 46.9% while among families is at 39.5% in 2015. Among the provinces in Eastern Visayas Region, Western Samar recorded the lowest poverty threshold for a family of five at 8,391.30 pesos.
There are three (3) in every ten (10) families in Eastern Visayas Region 8 are poor.

In terms of the poverty situation in Samar the municipality of Matuguinao has the highest poverty incidence at 60.3% while the city of Catbalogan has the lowest at 27%.

Agricultural Sector

In 2017, the Special Area for Agricultural Development (SAAD) Program of the DA prioritized the top 10 poorest provinces in the Philippines. Western Samar and the other two Samar Province has been selected as beneficiaries for the program.

For 2017, SAAD Western Samar selected all of its municipalities in its FY 2017 program implementation. The project livelihood interventions on rice, corn, vegetable, poultry, goat, ube, ginger, and peanut were carried out, which benefited 4,750 farmers and 126 registered farmers associations benefited farm machineries and equipment. The total budget funded for the province is Php 66.034 million.

For 2018, there were only 6 municipalities that were focused by the province. These were; Sta. Margarita, Matuguinao, San Jose de Buan, Hinabangan, Calbiga, and Talalora. With a budget of Php 15.012 million, 388 farmers and one farmers’ association were targeted to get support on poultry production (mallard duck), corn, swine, and ube production.

For the year 2019, there were a total of 6 projects that were implemented in the province, of which 1 city the Catbalogan and 7 municipalities namely: Calbiga, Jiabong, Paranas, Hinabangan, San Jorge, Sta. Margarita and Tarangnan Samar were the recipients. A total of 527 farmer beneficiaries benefited the said projects.

The implementers of SAAD in the province said that the program is a kind of gray start, making it difficult for its provincial team to deliver as scheduled. However, they had high hopes as they have foreseen that swine and chicken livelihood interventions given by SAAD will bring immediate impact to the lives of the farmers once delivered.

In some of its projects from 2017 to 2019, failure of bidding was often cited as the main concern regarding the delay of the implementation.
