Abstract: This study was conducted to understand the socio-economic status of the residents of Balcon Maravilla near to Sor-ohan watershed at Jordan, Guimaras for watershed planning. The age groups are evenly distributed, with 50 respondents (50%) aged 40 and below, and another 50 respondents (50%) aged 41 and above. Out of 100 respondents, 36% are male, and 64% are female. As to civil status, data shows that 24% of respondents are single, 70% are married, and 6% fall into the “Others†category (separated, widowed, or single parents). A combined 33% of the population has only an elementary-level education, and 45% of the population, likely has sufficient education to engage in mid-level watershed management activities. College-educated individuals are 21% in total. Over half of the respondents fall into the lowest income bracket (5,000 and below), indicating a high level of financial vulnerability. A significant proportion of respondents (35%) have slightly higher incomes but may still face financial challenges.
