Tugasan sub-watershed has a total area of 4,879.29 hectares with elevation ranging from 1,000 to 2,700 masl. Though situated in the upper portion of Lantapan, the watershed has adequate public facilities such as schools, good electricity connection, covered court, access to household-level water supply, and military office for security. Aside from that, the cluster also has rich natural capital with 84.5% of its area being classified as timberland/forestland. Its fertile soil also provides farmers opportunities in agricultural production. However, poor access to market due to poor road condition, poorly constructed bridgesand inadequate modes of transportation limit the income of smallholder farmers in the cluster.
