The literacy rate in the community has improved a lot compared to literacy years back.
The improvement is due to the effort of the government through DECS by implementing
different programs such as non formal education and out of school youth literacy program at
Alternative Learning System (ALS).
The school location is right at the heart of the barangay, making it accessible to the
school children. Student-classroom ratio is 35:1 and student-teacher ratio is 44:1. The school
is looking forward to hold a non-formal education and other special programs and benefits and
to help the people in the community.
Every now and then, there are assessments made in every school by the school
administrators and local officials to evaluate the needs of the school such as books, buildings,
teachers and desks. Needs are prioritized based on the availability of funds.
Health, Nutrition and Sanitation
In 2010 year, there is only one case of death due to delivery related causes. It was a baby
girl died. The mean reason in this case is no pre-natal services given to the mother and some
were too young to get pregnant.
Malnutrition is quite low, with 2 malnourished children (0-5 years old), only 0.43 percent to
the total population of this age bracket. Malnutrition affects 2 households only. This was base
from the result of Community Base Monitoring System (CBMS) conducted by the Barangay
Health Workers (BHW).

There were 12 households who are still living in makeshift housing which is1.61 percent of
the total households in the barangay. Moreover, 25 households or almost 3.36 percent to
total households are squatters. The situation is indicative of poor earning capacities of
families which makes shelter as one of the basic needs unaffordable and inaccessible.
However, the situation of Dicklum is similar to other barangays in Manolo Fortich which have
households still living in makeshift housing and households who are squatters which
commonly located in road right of way areas and easement areas of titled lots in the
barangays.

Poverty situation in the barangay needs serious attention. Purok/zone 4 with the118
total number of households got the highest number of house holds with income below food
threshold with 59.92 percent or 70. Purok/zone 1 has a 122 total number of households, 68 of
these are under poverty thresholds or 55.74 percent. And purok/zone 3 with 164 households
among those 83 or 50.61 percent belongs to households with income below poverty
thresholds. And the two remaining purok/zones less than fifty percent of there household
belongs to households with income below poverty thresholds. Out of five purok/zones, three
of those belong to households with income below poverty thresholds. Moreover, more the fifty
percent of the households in the entire barangay belong to below poverty line.
These data have to be analyzed also in the context of the primary sources of income
of most households in the barangay so that appropriate interventions can be undertaken to
increase their earning capacities. Meanwhile, the problem on the difficulty of families in

meeting their food needs deserves special attention to ensure healthy and productive
communities.
With the high incidence of poor and food poor households in the barangay, health and
nutrition status of children is affected as shown in the previous data on incidence of
malnutrition. The sustainability of having a favorable health condition among children and
mothers is affected by low income.

The dominant cropping pattern in the area is rice-rice and corn-corn. Rice and corn
are usually planted during the first season (May to September). Some areas planted with
different crops. Corn and various kinds of vegetables are planted in the level to gently sloping
and plain. Mostly plain areas in the barangay were planted with rice due to the presence of
Irrigation canal of NIA.
Most, if not all of the farmers are still dependent on draft animals in their farms. Only a
very small percentage, (below 5%), use tractors for land preparation. These tractors are
usually from other places rendering custom services when contracted.
The use of fertilizers and pesticides is generally practiced by farmers who plant rice,
corn and other high-value crops. These are the ones who are able to avail of financing usually
from the traders. Pesticides are used only when there is an incidence of pest and disease
infestations.
Marketing of products is usually done by traders, who at the same time are the
financiers for farm inputs of rice, corn and vegetables. In this scheme, the farmers are at the
losing end because it is usually the traders who dictate the price. For corn, the price is
dictated by market forces. For the second year, price of corn relatively is low due to the
presence of stocks of corn, both from the previous harvest which are not yet consumed and to
the entry of low-priced imported corn in the market. The price of locally produced corn cannot
compete with that of the imported stock since local production cost is relatively high.
Forestry.
Per record of CENRO-Manolo Fortich, Dicklum is classified as A & D only. It has no
forestral area. However, there are areas in Dicklum which are potential for reforestation, agro
forestry, orchard, protection and production forests and bamboo plantation within riverbanks.

The rivers and creeks in Dicklum can help in the Tagoloan Watershed Rehabilitation Project
considering that these are big tributaries for Tagoloan River.
Farm Labor.
Farm labor is usually done by both family members and by hired laborers. Hired labor is
usually from the community since working in other farms is the common off-farm activity in the
area. Prevailing daily wage in the community is P 90.00 to P 120.00 per day. Daily rate for
man/animal per day is from P120 to P200 per day. For harvesting of corn, the harvesters are
paid in kind at the rate of 10 percent of their total harvest. Some of the harvesters keep their
harvest for their food supply while some sell their accumulated share.
M. Barangay Revenue Sources and Expenditures

Barangay History of Dicklum
During the pre-war days, Dicklum was an established coconut plantation owned and
managed by a certain Don Juna. After a few years, it was converted into a pasture land
known as Elizalde Ranch.
The area where Dicklum was located was owned by the national Development
Corporation, a government-owned and controlled corporation where Elizalde was only a
lessee. The business affairs of the Elizalde Ranch were run by Dick, Lumber and Lewis.
World War II came, and Elizalde Ranch was destroyed. When the war was over, great
number of people from the different parts of Visayas and Mindanao migrated to this place and
it sprouted into a little community. Former residents came back and recalled the name of Dick
and Lumbert. In memory of this two people, the place was called “Dicklum”. Since then, the
name Dicklum was handed down up to the present generation.

WE ENVISION BARANGAY DICLUM TO BECOME A PROGRESSIVE,
INDUSTRIALIZED AND PRODUCTIVE BARANGAY INHABITED BY A PEACE-LOVING,
EDUCATED, SUCCESSFUL AND HEALTHY CITIZENRY WITH COMMITTED LEADERS
TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS.

PROGRAMA.
The vision of Dicklum is simple and concise but straightforward as to the desired
transformation of the place into a progressive, industrialized and productive barangay. For
the vision to be understood and internalized by the barangay constituents, this is translated
into the vernacular or the native dialect. Further, to ensure ownership and for the people to
work hard and contribute to the attainment of the barangay’s vision, this has to be understood
and disseminated widely.
The vision is anchored on three major pillars, namely: a) attainment of progress,
industrialized and productive, 2) Peace-loving, educated, successful and healthy citizenry and
3) committed leadership to sustain the programs and projects.
The entire citizenry commits to transform the barangay into a progressive community
by developing and harnessing the productive capacities of its existing resources and potential
endowments. Investment promotion and support activities will be intensified and put in place
to create livelihood and employment opportunities. Thus, the families are more empowered
and productive in terms of responding to their needs, and thus can actively contribute and
participate in the overall development of the barangay.
The barangay constituents believe that productive, industrialize and progress go hand
and in hand. Transparency in governance coupled with committed leadership is essential in
attaining this desired situation. This is also translated into effective and efficient governance
with barangay officials and workers serving as role models to gain cooperation and support
from the whole citizenry. Further, responsible and committed leadership serves as foundation
in the reduction or elimination of graft and corruption at all levels.
For the third pillar, good moral values will be constantly imbued in the households,
school, church and all sectors of society as a solid foundation of attaining a peace-loving,
successful, educated and healthy community. The state of being peace-loving is an offshoot
of a healthy and educated community coupled with households that are productive and have
sustainable sources of income. United and contented citizenry is crucial because sustainable
growth and progress will be attained if the people are highly responsible and accountable in
whatever collective action they will contribute for the development of the barangay.
B. Mission
We shall be progressive, industrialized and productive barangay with committed leaders to
attain sustainable programs inhabited by peace-loving, educated, successful and healthy
citizenry through good governance with active full support from the senate, congress,
provincial, municipal, barangay Local Government Units, NGOs and the community as well.
