The sea fish represents the barangay's proximity to the sea and its significance as a
source of livelihood for the residents. Fishing is a common occupation in our area, and the
inclusion of a sea fish in the logo symbolizes the community's reliance on the sea for food
and income.

2. Farmer The farmer element in the logo probably represents the agricultural aspect of
the barangay. San Juan, Siquijor is known for its fertile soil and agricultural productivity,
so the farmer may symbolize the community's connection to the land and their role as
food producers.

3. Sun above the Philippine Flag:

The sun positioned above the Philippine flag reinforce the themes of hope, freedom, and
unity mentioned earlier. It also represents the community's aspirations for a brighter
future, with the sun shining down on the nation and guiding its people towards progress.

4. Philippine Flag:
The inclusion of the Philippine flag in the logo is a nod to the barangay's national identity
and its connection to the larger Philippine community. It also represents the community's
pride in their heritage and their commitment to upholding national values.

5. 6 Stars
The six stars in the logo represent the six sitios (sub-villages or districts) that make up
Barangay Catulayan. This element symbolizes the community's diversity and the
importance of each sitio in contributing to the overall well-being of the barangay.

6.Corn
The corn represents the agricultural abundance and fertility of the land in Barangay
Catulayan. Corn is a staple crop in our area, and its inclusion in the logo symbolize the
community's rich soil, favorable climate, and the importance of agriculture in our daily
lives.

My LGU Visit Experience: A Journey to Bayawan City Hall

As I reflect on our recent LGU visit to Bayawan City Hall, I am reminded of the
excitement and anticipation that filled my heart as I woke up at 3:30 AM to prepare for
our departure. Alongside my fellow Political Science students from Level II and III, we
embarked on a journey to explore the administration authority and recent developments
within the Local Government Units (LGUs) and deepen our understanding of local
governance through that educational tour.

The early morning rush was a challenge in itself. We had to be ready by 5:00 AM
to catch our school bus, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we departed at 5:30 AM
instead. As we rode the bus towards the southern part of Negros, I couldn't help but feel
a mix of emotions - excitement for the new experience about what lay ahead.

After a 2-hour and 50-minute journey, we finally arrived at Bayawan City Hall at
8:20 AM. As we stepped out of the bus, our group was eager to explore the city hall's
facilities and learn from the public officials who would share their experiences with us.

The highlight of our visit, however, was the interview session with public officials.
We asked questions related to the administration authority, recent developments, and
challenges faced by the LGU, and the officials provided valuable insights into the inner
workings of the city hall.

One of the most memorable moments for me during our LGU visit to Bayawan
City Hall was when Hon. Luis J. Sumalpong, a fellow Siquijodnon and Chairperson of
the Committee on Agriculture, shared his personal struggles and triumphs in serving the
community. His willingness to open up and share his experiences with us was a
poignant reminder that behind the titles and positions, there are real people who are
dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others.

As a fellow Siquijodnon, I felt a sense of pride and connection to Hon.

Sumalpong's story. His experiences and struggles resonated with me, and I was
inspired by his dedication to serving the community. His story was a testament to the
fact that public service is not just about holding a position, but about making a positive
impact in the lives of others.

Our visit to Bayawan City Hall provided me with a deeper understanding of the
administration authority and recent developments within the LGUs. I learned that local
governance is a complex process that requires collaboration, dedication, and a deep
understanding of the community's needs.

I realized that as a Political Science student, it is essential to apply theoretical

concepts to practices, and our visit provided me with the opportunity to do so. As the SK
Chairperson of our barangay, I realized that our visit to Bayawan City Hall was not just a
course requirement, but an opportunity to learn from the experiences of other local
government officials. I learned that effective governance requires strong leadership,
transparency, and accountability. I also realized that as a young leader, it is essential to
be aware of the challenges faced by our community and to work towards finding
solutions that benefit everyone.

Question:

What specific measures has the city government of Bayawan taken to promote
sustainable agriculture and support local farmers, and how do these policies address
the challenges of lowland flooding and siltation, as well as waste management, in the
city's agricultural sector?

Answer:

We have implemented the following measures to promote sustainable agriculture

and support local farmers. We have developed and improved our irrigation systems to
ensure that our farmers have access to a reliable source of water for their crops. We
have encouraged our farmers to diversify their crops to reduce dependence on a single
crop and to promote soil health. We also have promoted organic farming practices to
reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which can harm the environment
and human health. We have provided our farmers with access to farm machinery and
equipment to improve their productivity and efficiency we also have 1 designated
technician per barangay who oversee the farmers from “pagbinhi, pagtanom and pag
ani”.

We have also established Bantay Dagat teams in each of our coastal barangays,
composed of local fishermen, barangay officials, and other stakeholders who are
responsible for monitoring and enforcing our fishing regulations, as well as for promoting
sustainable fishing practices among our local fishermen and strengthen our
implementation of Fishery Law.

Our policies and programs are designed to promote sustainable agriculture

practices, support local farmers, and address the challenges in our agricultural sector.
We are committed to ensuring that our agricultural sector is environmentally
sustainable, economically viable, and socially responsible.
