Natividad is a fourth class municipality in the easternmost part of Pangasinan bounded by the municipalities of San Nicolas on the north, Tayug on the west, San Quintin on the south and by the rugged Caraballo Mountain ranges bordering Nueva Ecija and Nueva Vizcaya on the east.
LGU Natividad identified two strategic goals:
1. to improve the efficiency of the Caraballo Mountain as a watershed through effective forest protection and restoration;
2. to help uplift the socio-economic well-being of the people within the convergence area particularly those living near the Caraballo Mountain
Initial support and interventions have been implemented to realize these goals:
1. distribution of chicken, native pigs, and goat;
2. distribution of high value fruit trees, coffee, cacao, bamboo and rubber seedlings;
3. provision of trainings by ATI and DOST;
4. distribution of start-up materials for fisheries;
5. construction of farm-to-market roads;
6. construction of irrigation canal;
7. construction of multi-purpose drying pavement
“Ang CADP ay napakalaking tulong sa mamamayan ng Natividad kasi di na sila nag-uuling, nababawasan na ang mga nangangaso sa bundok at konti na ang mga sunog sa bundok dahil nabibigyan po sila ng kabuhayan at may binabantayan na silang fruit trees, rubber trees, at bamboo,” shared Sioco.
