Mountain Province, Philippines Formerly dubbed as " La Montanosa" by Spanish administrators for its mountainous terrain, Mt. Province lies in the heart of the Grand Cordillera, known to be the Philippine's biggest and highest chain of mountains. The province is bounded on the North by Kalinga, on the south by Benguet and Ifugao, on the east by Isabela, and on the west by Ilocos Sur and Abra.
Mt. Province's total land area is 209,733 has., 23% of which were classified as alienable and disposable, and 77% as forest lands. Towering peaks and sharp ridges describe the central and western parts of the province, while gradually sloping and rolling foothills are the general features of the eastern towns.
Mt. Province is geo-politically subdivided into 10 municipalities and 144 barangays. For 1999, the projected population is 140,085. Mt Province is classified as a 4th class province with an average family income of P59,426. Agriculture is the main source of income with tourism providing a significant boost to its economy.
Although Bontoc is the province's capital, the town of Sagada is more famous among tourists. Its rice terraces, though lesser known compared to the Banaue rice terraces, are equally spectacular. Whereas the walls of the Banaue's terraces are of compacted earth, Sagada's walls are small rocks laboriously piled one on top of the other. The town is also known for its limestone caves that served as burial grounds during the pre-Christian Sagada era.

Mountain Province became a special province of the Philippines in 1907. It was made up of the sub-provinces of Bontoc-Lepanto, Amburayan, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao and Kalinga. The provincial supervisor was appointed Governor of the province and Bontoc was then the capital town.
Mountain Province became an independent province on March 25, 1967 when President Ferdinand E. Marcos officially appointed and inducted into office the first set of provincial officials. On April 7, 1967, the new Mountain Province came into operation. This date was unanimously adopted by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan on their regular meeting held on June 10, 1980 as the Mountain Province Day.
To date, Mt. Province is growing in popularity as a " Spelunkers Delight and Weavers Paradise ". It is becoming a favorite destination of both local and foreign visitors.

Natural Resources of Mountain Province, Philippines
- Protect the environment
It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

We have so much water in the Philippines and yet very little to drink.
Instead of relying too much on Diesel fuel and Coal to generate the majority of Philippine's Electrical energy Supply, we can concentrate more on renewable and sustainable source of energy such as: Hydro Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power. We have too many black outs.

BAGUIO CITY, May 12 (PIA) - - Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Dinky Soliman called for continuous and stronger partnership among the Social Welfare and Development Officers (SWDOs), civil society organizations and citizens groups in bringing in inclusive social and economic growth to all the people in Cordillera.
Soliman made this call on Friday during the program review on the supplementary feeding program cum Social Welfare and Development Forum at the Pines View Hotel here. She said that a continuous and stronger partnership between the national government and the local government units in delivering basic social welfare and development services and programs to the people of Cordillera will help bring in inclusive growth.
She also gave recognition to the important role SWDOs play in ensuring that the national government’s goal of bringing in inclusive growth to the country under President Aquino’s ‘Tuwid na Daan’ governance, will come to reality.
During the event, Soliman also spearheaded the awarding of special awards, which include certificate and recognition and cash incentives to the province of Kalinga who submitted the most comprehensive social protection development report and also for having the highest rate of report submission. The municipality of Balbalan, Kalinga is likewise recognized for submitting a well packaged narrative and statistical report.
Soliman, along with DSWD-CAR Regional Director Leonardo Reynoso also signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Kalinga Governor Jocel Baac for the expansion of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program to Tabuk City and the municipality of Rizal, Kalinga.
In the afternoon, Soliman and Reynoso, also signed a MOA with officials and representatives of various civil society organizations and citizens groups in the Baguio-Benguet area, in line with DSWD’s convergence strategy.
In her message, Soliman stressed the importance of such partnership, which through the government programs as well as those of their private partners, the attainment of bringing in inclusive social and economic growth to the country is possible. She emphasized that such partnership will also encourage the government to strive harder in giving honest, sincere and efficient service to the country.
Soliman also met with the DSWD-CAR family for a convergence meeting and consultation dialogue to oversee a better implementation of DSWD programs and services in the region.
Later in the afternoon, Soliman travelled to Mt. Data Hotel in Bauko, Mt. Province to meet with CCT Family beneficiaries, who are attending a Family Development Session. She is also set to go around the province today to visit projects and for community interactions. (JDP/CCD-PIA CAR)
