INTRODUCTION

1.1 Statement of Policies (National and International)

The Philippines being an archipelago is composed of vast karst landscape
comprising the 11.5% of the total land area of the country or approximately 35, 000 km²
(Day & Urich, 2000). These karst areas, considered to be one of the independent and
important ecosystems is protected nationally by Republic Act 9072 otherwise known as
the National Caves and Cave Resources Management and Protection Act of 2001. This law
was enacted in line with the mandate under the 1987 Philippine Constitution emphasizing
the conservation, protection and preservation of all-natural resources including caves.
To strengthen the implementation of the Cave Act, several policies were also
enacted. It includes the following;

1.2 Historical Background of Boboy Cave
Boboy Cave was officially documented and assessed on May 4-5, 2017 along with the
Taklobo Cave. In the early 1990’s, the said cave was explored and disturbed due to the
“Yamashita Treasure” activity led by Japanese OISCA leader Ikeda. Barangay officials said that
Japanese occupied the vicinity for about 3 years because of his mangrove plantation project.
Ikeda, as he was fondly called by the locals leaves a legacy to the residents not only the above-
mentioned project but a sustainable livelihood for the people of the barangay.

The name of the cave “Boboy” was derived from the present owner of the land named
Mr. Virgilio Ompoy, who is often called “Boboy” and was the son of the former owner of the
said private land where the cave was located.

1.3 Purpose of the Plan

With the formulation of this management plan for Boboy Cave, it aims to have the
following;
1. A sustainable and proactive management that would address present and future
concerns, prevent unauthorized usage of the cave and its resources and a guided
cave-related activity;
2. A well-guided and strategized implementation of provisions of this plan in
accordance with the existing national and local laws, policies and ordinances on
cave protection and management;
3. Harmonized actions in rehabilitating, protecting and conserving Boboy Cave and
its resources;

1.4 Present Land-use Pattern

Generally, the cave is located in the coastal area wherein the common source of
income of the community is fishing. The coast fronting the entrance of the cave was
rehabilitated with mangrove trees through the Integrated Social Forestry (ISF) Project of
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The portion of the cave
is cultivated mainly for coconut farming. Existing land use of the area is agriculture and
it is near to the site location area wherein mangrove reforestation can be found.

1.5 Brief Description of the Planning Process

The drafting of the Cave Management Plan for Boboy Cave used the participatory
approach wherein concerned stakeholders were identified and invited to join for the
crafting of the management plan. The participants were set to do actual spelunking and site
visit to internalize the need of the protection of the cave. They were tasked to identify core
issues existing during the site visit that needs to be addressed and look for local and
practical solutions to address such issue. The facilitator employed the SWOT analysis
method in coming up with the ideation of specific environmental interventions.

Boboy cave has LRUD of 61.85 m, 37.85 m 30.73 m and 9.7 m with a length of 183.640
meters and 166.62 meters respectively. The entrance to Boboy’s cave has an easy passage
and situated beside the 7th Day Adventist church.

Figure 2. Map showing CAVE 2 (BOBOY’S Cave) at Alimango, Baylimango, Dapitan

City, Zamboanga del Norte.

Barangay Baylimango is located seven (7) kilometers away or a 15-minute ride

from the national highway accessible by a “habal-habal” or any four-wheeled vehicles.
Barangay Baylimango is bounded by Barangays Carang, Sto. Niño, Matagobtob Poblacion,
and Oro. Most of the coast of Baylimango is protected by mangrove forest. Barangay
Baylimango is located in the eastern part of Dapitan City and is classified as a rural
barangay generally known for its rich coastal ecosystem and generally flat coralline terrain
with relative elevation of <20meters above sea level. Boboy cave has only one (1) entrance
and exit passages and is fifty (20) meters away from the mangrove forest and is situated
beside the 7th Day Adventist church.

2.2 Biophysical Profile

2.2.1 General Topography and Physiography

Boboy Cave is a horizontal cave that has a total length of 166.62 meters. The
entrance of the cave is approximately at 7.5 meters above sea level and is facing 100
meters away from the mangrove forest. It has one (1) entrance and one (1) exit
passageway. The exit passage is slightly difficult to access since everyone needs to
climb more or less than a meter first before going out of the cave.
 Boboy cave also have numerous unique features and amazing formations
inside the cave but there is only very few faunal species maybe because the said cave
was already disturbed. The general surface of the cave is coralline limestone with
relatively sharp edges. Coral fossils and giant clam shells can be frequently seen
attached walls and ceilings of the cave. Small shells of marine mollusk can often be
seen inside. There were some muddy portions of the cave and a small pool of water
that is approximately less than a meter in depth. The average vertical clearance of the
cave is 2 meters or approximately 8 feet.

The area is classified under 4th climatic type with pronounced maximum
rainfall from June to December. The average rainfall in the area is 30.5mm. On top of
the cave the soil type is predominantly clay and rocky while on the entrance part the
type of soil is loamy. There are coconut trees, mango trees and other species of plants
were observed in the surrounding area.

2.2.2 Accessibility

From the barangay proper, Boboy’s cave can be accessed by four-wheel

vehicle with a distance 1 km away from the barangay. The road is currently developed
and at the moment. Travel time is about one (1) hour from the city proper. The team
walked for approximately 15 minutes to stretch the entrance and exit of the cave.
Likewise, the cave can also be reached by habal-habal from the city with a fare of
THIRTY (30) PESOS.

2.2.3 Socio-Economic

As of 2019, Barangay Baylimango has 317 total households with a total

population of 1, 440 in which 753 were males and 687 were females. Households
mostly engage in the poultry as their means of livelihood. Others are members of
People’s Organization involved in NGP. The major sources of income are poultry,
carpentry, employment, and fishing. The area belongs to 3rd class of income
classification.

2.2.4 Flora

There were no flora species found inside the cave due to unavailability
of sunlight. Flora species are mostly found outside (also in the mouth) of the cave and
in the surrounding area. The table below is a list of flora species found outside the
cave.

2.2.6 Cave Classification

Boboy cave was assessed and identified last May 4-5, 2017 and based on
the analysis and assessment using the Cave Assessment Form, Annex B of the
Classification Guidelines and Manual (DMC 2007-04) and with the deliberation of
the assessors, the said cave was then classified as Class III where it is safe to
inexperienced visitors with no known threatened species, archaeological,
geological, natural history, cultural and historical values. It can also be utilized for
economic purposes such as guano extraction and edible birds nest collection (The
Philippine Cave Handbook, 2009).
 CHAPTER III
LEGAL STATUS AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region-IX

through the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office-Piñan, Local
Government Unit of Dapitan City, the Barangay Local Government Unit of Barangay
Baylimango, the private owners of the land where the cave entrances are located forged a
partnership in the management, protection and development of Boboy Cave at Barangay
Baylimango, Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte.

This plan will serve as the guiding plan for the landowners, the Local Government
Unit of Dapitan City and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is
on process, to be signed by the parties. The MOA shall serve as a contract to forge a
partnership in managing the implementation for the development, conservation and
protection of Boboy Cave. The Local Government Unit of Dapitan City headed by its
supportive Mayor Rosalina Jalosjos, welcomed the partnership as this will be a big help
for the rehabilitation and protection of the cave as it became a potential source of water
during dry season. The formulated plan provides a strategic course of action and sound
interventions such as strict local law enforcement in regulating cave-related activities and
stop the exploitation of cave resources.
Other institutions as well as non-governmental organizations advocating the
preservation of caves will be tapped and encouraged to take part in the development of the
subject cave such as the conduct of cave research and studies, trainings and workshops,
information and education activities and generation of awareness in the community.

PAST AND PRESENT INITIATIVES
 CHAPTER 5
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

Boyboy Cave, a cave with unique constitution of paleontological features such as

the fossilized corals and giant clams making it an interesting area for research and
ecotourism site, provided, however that concerned stakeholders together with the MLGU,
LGU of Dapitan and national agencies must lend each other a helping hand in realizing the
goals and objectives of this management plan for the strengthened protection and
conservation of Boboy Cave.

During the formulation writeshop for the participatory cave management planning
of Boyboy Cave conducted last October 16-17, 2019, the participants conducted an on-site
observation and spelunking activity as part of the 2-day activity in order for them to identify
the issues faced by the community which needs to be addressed and be included in this
plan. Here is the output of the consultation using the SWOT analysis method;

*The facilitators used the SWOT analysis method to gather the necessary data for the formulation of this
plan. The method was also used to identify different issues involving not only cave-related concerns but
also the community which would affect the implementation of this plan.

STRENGTHS
1. Supportive barangay officials/MLGU/PLGU – with its active officials and with
Barangay Captain, the implementation of this plan would be smooth-flowing
because of the support of different stakeholders especially on the grassroot level.
2. Peaceful barangay. – one of the assets a place can have is peace and security.
Barangay Baylimango with a peaceful community together with its hospitable
people are good boost to support its tourism spot potential.
3. Presence of unique fauna species (i.e., crustaceans, insects, lizards).
4. Spacious and wide area for easy access which would be of great help for a much
needed-space for future soft infrastructure.
5. Presence of important paleontological features such as fossilized corals and
giant clams which would be an interesting subject for further research.
6. The cave is odorless. Ideal for spelunking activity.

WEAKNESSES AND THREATS

Based on the conducted on-site assessment, actual spelunking and
experienced by the community, here are some observations noted by the
participants;

1. Only one swiftlet was observed during the spelunking activity which indicates that
the cave is disturbed. Historically, there were number of bats and swiftlets seen in
the cave in the past, however, the species population declined, allegedly due to
human-induced disturbances.
2. Low level of awareness of local people on the importance of the cave and its role in
the ecosystem.
3. Lack of ordinance regulating anthropogenic activities to strengthen the efforts in
protecting, conserving and managing the cave.
4. No signal for communication.
5. Presence of non-biodegradable wastes found inside the cave.
6. Destruction of cave formations due to harvest of fossilized giant clams.
 7. Presence of a nearby video karaoke which creates noise pollution forcing sensitive
species living in the caves to transfer.

OPPORTUNITIES
Here are some additional opportunities which would help boost tourism activities
in the area;
1. Easy accessibility from the national highway going to the site.
2. Availability of trainable local guides for the spelunking activity and other activities.
3. Wide open space near the cave portal which will be utilized for camping activities
and installation of removable nipa huts.
4. Presence of an active and committed academe for research and development
activities.
5. Existence of adjacent mangrove forest area for boardwalk as additional tourist
attraction

RECOMMENDATIONS AND INTERVENTIONS

Out from the issues and concerns presented and to enable to transform weaknesses
in strengths, the team who drafted this management plan hereby recommend the following
resolutions;
1. Setting-up and creating a forest land use plan of the area specifying the limits of
utilization and strictly protected zones.
2. Adaption and enactment of a barangay ordinance in accordance to RA 9147 or the
Wildlife Act that would regulate/prohibit hunting/collecting/harvesting/possessing
flora and fauna, RA 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Act for the disposal of
waste and other environmental-related laws.
3. Strengthening of the conduct of the communication, education and public
awareness campaign to educate the people specially the landowners where the cave
is located, the community and the officials on the importance of cave and its
resources for them to be encouraged for its protection, conservation and
management.
4. Strictly implement and abide with the provisions provided under the signed
Memorandum of Agreement and emphasizing the collaborative and shared
responsibility in protecting and conserving the cave.
5. Prepare for a risk-reduction plan by studying and understanding the nature of the
cave, its changes and behavior through time for identification of periods or seasons
for spelunking activities.
6. Continuous monitoring, recording of activities, and evaluation of the
implementation of the plan for updating.
7. Deputization local enforcement officers who will oversee any violations of any
provisions of the barangay ordinance or the national law.
8. Population study of species living inside the cave with correct identification to
serve as a baseline data for future studies and further research on paleontological
features found inside the cave for proper intervention for its protection and
conservation.
