income in the whole province rated a
very poor depended only
on Internal Revenue Allotment or Ira.

for the 20% Economic Development Fund contrary to requirement of Section
107 and 108 of the New Government

included in regular fund.
This Last Frontier of Zamboanga Del Norte of the South still poor among
the poorest municipality because allegedly it has no
municipal building, barangay halls, roads was very poor, no ports-dilapidated and even public
market and terminals allegedly no
implementations.

But Sibuco still shimmering, that someday she can stand
by her own, develop and turning a poor municipality into tourists destination as Last Frontier of the
South, not shamelessly to say, but be proud of.
On the other hand, Sibuco lambasted Typhoon Paolo, hundreds of houses
raked and damaged including their livelihood.
