Barangay Alos is 7.85 kilometers away south of Poblacion. It has
a land area of 886.5 hectares with a population of 1,905 (1995 census).
It is estimated that 50% of its land area is devoted to commercial,
industrial, residential and other economic endeavors and the rest
are use for agricultural activities, like rice production vegetables
and the likes. Alos in completely energized, 20,507 square meters
of its land area (between Alos and Taguidin, Mabini) has been declare
as special Economic Zone under Presidential Proclamation No. 1226
pursuant to Republic Act No 7116. The whole area is completely occupied
by PROTON CAR Assenbly Plant and other Industrial Corporation, unfortunately
the plant closed before one car was assembled. Residents of Alos
are also engaged in home industries like ballot making, soap making,
peanut brittle, smoked fish making and others.
It has its own public market (talipapa), set of the Regional Health
Office RHU-II, church, elementary and high schools, water system
and Post Office (postal service). 99% of its road network systems
asphalted/concreted. It is accessible to all kinds of land transportation.
It is linked to the urban core and to its catchment barangays like
Maawi, Tangcarang, Quibuar, Linmansangan and Macatiw by the National
and barangay roads respectively. Power and communication facilities
are also adequate.
The development proposals are:
Asphalting/concreting of barangay roads linking Alos to the catchment
areas.
Maintenance of national road linking the same to Poblacion (urban
core).
Construction irrigation facilities in potential irrigable areas.
Further improvement of the existing market (talipapa).
Enhance the growth and further development of industries in the
area.
Conduct feasibility study on other industries that maybe put upon
Alos.
