| Fig 1. Men and Women alike. |
Inevitably, people
get into heated arguments or fights because of their differences in beliefs,
culture, practice or even just simple preferences. It is unfathomable somehow
how an extremely diverse group of individuals, with their own sets of beliefs,
religion or culture, can live together in harmony and peace. With such strong
community ties, it was not therefore hard for us, students of the ADZU School
of Medicine, to establish rapport with the community people and live among
them. The following data are pertinent to Barangay Pangulogon as of the year
2012:
Ø Total Population: 675
ü 260 Males
ü 415 Females
ü 132 Households
Ø Religion
ü 95% Roman Catholics
ü 2% Benevolent
ü 2% Iglesia ni Kristo
ü 1% Mormons
Ø Ethnicity
ü 83% Bisaya
ü 17% Subanen
Despite the
diversities in religion, culture and language, the residents still manage to
coexist and live harmoniously with each other. There is a church found in Purok
2 and most of the residents are active members of perpetual dawn rosary
organization and join the daily dawn procession to enhance their faith to God. A weekly get together is also done, which is supposed to be devoted to marketing and recreation for the residents. They meet at the Barangay Court every Saturday and play basketball, sell vegetables and fish, or have small chats with each other.
The vast area of green land in Pangulogon is composed primarily of hectares upon hectares of coconut plantation, a generous span of rice and corn fields, and the remainder of the land are filled with flowers, fruit-bearing trees and vegetable plantations.
