They are predominantly distributed in the 14 hinterland barangays of the city. Urban dwellers are merchants from the neighboring places who found good luck in Gingoog and decided to reside permanently. They are Cebuanos, Boholanos, Batangueños, Maranaos, Tagalogs and Chinese. Majority (95.97%) of the population are Cebuano speaking while the remaining 2.34 percent speak other dialects. It is observed that dialects other than Cebuano are spoken within their circles of dialect literate. In the realm of religion, the earliest natives had simply worshipped the anitos and held such respect and faith in the practice of "Diwata". After a year, Christian living was introduced by a Jesuit Missionary, Padre Felix Garcia who sowed the first seed of Christianity.

AGRICULTURE Crop Production Major crops grown in the city are rice, corn, vegetables, fruits, root crops, and cutflower-not to mention coconut which really occupies greater area where most if not all the major crops grow or inter-cropped with it. Farmers served by the city’s agricultural technicians totaled to 4,007. Total area planted to major crops is 3,676 hectares more or less but area harvested is only 3,053. This is not totally due to pests, diseases and other natural causes but because other crops like fruit trees do not bear fruit within the year instead we still wait for 5 or more years before it yields fruit. Some cash crops were also planted in the later part of the year and its yield would be accounted in the succeeding year. Estimated production of these crops for this are as follows: root crops– 724 MT, rice-5,645 MT, corn-4,883 MT, vegetables-1,995 MT, fruits-1,976 MT, and cutflower-27,028 dozens. Fisheries This subsector includes services for inland fishery management, fingerling dispersal, mariculture. Marine fishery, fisherfolk empowerment, resource enhancement and fishery regulatory services.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Environmental concerns are already addressed in different sectoral studies. This section will then dwell on the environmental concerns according to the different eco-systems. Coastal Eco-System Under the coastal resource management program, development along the coast shall be regulated and mitigated through the allocation and delineation of easements along Gingoog Bay and along other interior bodies of water that empty into Gingoog Bay as catch basin. Swamplands and mangrove areas that need rehabilitation shall be restored back to service as breeding areas for fish and sources of other marine products. Tourism activities to be allowed shall be “eco-friendly” activities and should complement the bio-diversity within the coastal zone. Urban Eco-System The urban eco-system, as part of the lowland system, is very sensitive one considering that this is where all the facilities and services are provided for the urban inhabitants. With the trend of promoting industrial development along the corridor and adjacent to other built-up uses, industrial wastes need to be mitigated. Regular and close monitoring shall be conducted to evaluate the performance of industries in regulating/controlling pollution. Domestic wastes which contribute to the biggest bulk of environment problems, need to be mitigated by combining re-cycling of wastes and discouraging the use of raw materials shall also be encouraged through the use and production of re-cycled products. Most important shall be the information education of the public specially the children and the youth. Forest Eco-System The forest ecosystem is the most important eco-system that need vigilant attention from all the sectors since this holds the key to the protection of the other ecosystems. The delineation of specific programs in the Forest Land Use Plan to conserve, protect and rehabilitate the production and protection forest will be an advantageous factor of sustaining ecological balance. However, there is a need to ensure regular monitoring and corrective actions on the part of implementers and the public if bio-diversity within this eco-system is hoped for. |
