The Philippines is one of the largest archipelagos in the world. Its coastline

is irregular and longer than the coastline of the United States. It consists of 7,107

islands that are categorized broadly under three main geographic divisions: Luzon, 67

Visayas and Mindanao. Its capital city is Manila. This unique geographic

Region III, is an administrative region in the Philippines, primarily serving to

organize the 7 provinces of the vast central plains of the island of Luzon (the

largest island), for administrative convenience. The region contains the largest

plain in the country and produces most of the country's rice supply, earning itself

the nickname "Rice Granary of the Philippines". Its provinces are: Aurora, Bataan,

Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales.

Central Luzon Region is located north of Manila, the nation's capital.

Bordering it are the regions of Ilocos and Cagayan Valley to the north; National

Capital Region, CALABARZON. And the waters of Manila Bay to the south; South

China Sea to the west; and the Philippine Sea to the east. Pangasinan was once

part of this region, before being transferred to the Ilocos Region by President

Ferdinand Marcos on June 22 of 1973.

There are fourteen cities in the region: Balanga in Bataan; Malolos,

Meycauayan and San Jose del Monte in Bulacan; Cabanatuan, Gapan, Muñoz,

Palayan and San Jose in Nueva Ecija; Angeles, Mabalacat and San Fernando in

Pampanga; Tarlac in Tarlac; and Olongapo in Zambales. Central Luzon produces

the most rice in the whole country. Excess rice is delivered and imported to other

provinces of the Philippines.

Historical Background

Tarlac's name is a Hispanized derivation from a talahib weed called

Malatarlak. Tarlac was originally divided into two parts: the southern division

belonging to Pampanga and the northern division belonging to Pangasinan. It was

the last province in Central Luzon to be organized under the Spanish colonial
67
administration in 1874.

CHAPTER III | Research Methodology, Data Presentation, Interpretation and Analysis

 PhilSA : Philippine
A proposed NationalSports Academy
Sports Academy
New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac
During the Philippine Revolution of 1896, Tarlac was among the first eight

provinces to rise against Spain, alongside neighbouring Pampanga. It became the

new seat of the first Philippine Republic in March 1899 when General Emilio

Aguinaldo abandoned the former capital, Malolos, Bulacan. This lasted only for a

month

before the seat was moved to Nueva Ecija in Aguinaldo's attempt to elude the

pursuing Americans.

On October 23, 1899, Gregorio Aglipay, military vicar general of the

revolutionary forces, called the Filipino clergy to a conference in Paniqui. There,

they drafted the constitution of the Philippine Independent Church. They called for

the Filipinization of the clergy, which eventually led to a separation from the

Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines.

Tarlac was captured by American forces on November 1899. A civil

government was established in the province in 1901.

During World War II, Camp O'Donnell in Capas became the terminal point

of the infamous Bataan Death March of Filipino and American soldiers who

surrendered at Bataan on April 9, 1942. Many prisoners died of hunger, disease

and/or execution. The general headquarters of the Philippine Commonwealth

Army was established from January 03, 1942 to June 30, 1946 and the 3rd

Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary was founding again from October 67

28, 1944 to June 30, 1946 and military

stationed in the province of Tarlac and some parts in Central Luzon due to

Japanese Occupation. Local troops of the Philippine Commonwealth Army units

has sent the clearing military operations in the province of Tarlac and Central

Luzon from 1942 to 1945 and aided them by the recognized groups including

Hukbalahap Communist fighters and attacking Japanese Imperial forces. But in

the aftermath, some local guerrilla resistance fighters and Hukbahalap groups

became retreating Imperial Japanese troops around the province and before the

liberation from the Allied forces.

In early 1945, combined American and Filipino military forces with the

recognized Aringay Command guerillas liberated Camp O'Donnell. The raid in

Capas resulted in the rescue of American, Filipino and other allied Prisoners of

War.

From January 20, 1945 to August 15, 1945, Tarlac was recaptured by combined

Filipino and American troops together with the recognized guerrilla fighters against

the Japanese Imperial forces during the liberation and beginning for the Battle of

Tarlac under the Luzon Campaign.

Geography

The landlocked province is situated at the center of the central plains of

Luzon, landlocked by four provinces: Pampanga on the south, Nueva Ecija on the

east, Pangasinan on the north, and Zambales on the west. The province covers a 67

CHAPTER III | Research Methodology, Data Presentation, Interpretation and Analysis

 PhilSA : Philippine

Sports Academy
New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac
total area of 3,053.60 square kilometres (1,179.00 sq mi). Approximately 75% of

the province is plains while the rest is hilly to mountainous.

Topography

Eastern Tarlac is a plain, while Western Tarlc is hilly to mountainous.

Because of this, the province includes a large portion of mountains like Mt.

Telakawa (Straw Hat Mountain), located at Capas, Tarlac. Mt. Bueno, Mt. Mor-

Asia and Mt. Canouman are located also in Capas as well as Mt. Dalin. The other

mountains are Mt. Dueg and Mt. Maasin, found in the municipality of San

Clemente. Also noted are Mt. Damas of Camiling. The whole of Mayantoc and San

Jose are mountainous so it is suitable for the highest natural resources and forest

products in the province such as coal, iron, copper, vegetables, fruits, log fires,

sand, rocks and forest animals such as wild boar and deer. The main water

sources for agriculture include the Tarlac River at Tarlac City, the Lucong and

Parua Rivers in Concepcion, Sacobia Bamban River in Bamban and the Rio Chico

in La Paz.

The proportion of the total population belonging to age group 0 to 14 years

was 35.47 percent. The oldest group (65 years and over) accounted for 4.40

percent, while 60.13 percent were in 15 to 64 year-age group (economically active

population).

The overall dependency ratio in 2000 was 66.30. This meant that for every

100 persons aged 15 to 64 years, there were about 66 dependents (59 persons

aged 0 to 14 years - young dependents; and seven persons aged 65 years and
67
over - old dependents). In 1995, the dependency ratio was recorded at 69.

The population of Tarlac in the 2015 census was 1,366,027 people, with a

density of 450 inhabitants per square kilometre or 1,200 inhabitants per square

mile.

The predominant ethnic groups are the Kapampangans that mainly

predominate the southern portion of the province and the Pangasinans that mainly

predominate the northern portion of the province. Both ethnolinguistic groups

intermingle together in the capital city. Ilocanos and Tagalogs constitute a

considerable minority in the province.

Kapampangan and Pangasinan are both mainly used throughout the entire

province, as well as Ilocano and Tagalog. Ilocanos and Tagalogs however, speak

their respective languages with a Kapamapangan/Pangasinan accent, as

descendants of Ilocanos and Tagalogs from the first generations who lived in the

province learned Kapampangan and/or Pangasinan. English is widely understood

as well.

Climate

Like the rest of Central Luzon, the province has three distinct seasons:

summer from March to June, monsoon rain from July to September, and monsoon

winter from October to February. Summer months, especially during May bring

frequent, sometimes

severe, thunderstorms with high winds, thunder, and hail. 67

Created in 1712, Capas is among the oldest towns of Tarlac together with

Bamban (1712), Paniqui (1574) and Tarlac (1686). Its creation was justified by

numerous settlements which were already established in the river banks of Cutcut

River since the advent of the eighteenth century. The settlements belonged to the

domain of Pagbatuan and Gudya, the two sitios united by Capitan Mariano

Capiendo when he founded the municipality.

67
Historical records suggest three versions on how Capas got its name. The

first version, as told, was originated from capas-capas, the edible flower similar to
CHAPTER III | Research Methodology, Data Presentation, Interpretation and Analysis
 PhilSA : Philippine
A proposed NationalSports Academy
Sports Academy
New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac
that of the caturay that abundantly grew along the Cutcut river banks. The second

version, accordingly, was adapted from a cotton tree called capas, an Aeta dialect.

The third version suggested that it was through the corruption of the first three

letters from the surnames of the town’s early settlers, namely: Capitulo, Capitly,

Capiendo, Capuno, Caponga, Capingian, Caparas, Capera, Capumpue, Capit,

Capil, Capunfuerza, Capunpun, Caputol, Capul and Capan. For short, they were

called “caps” or “capas” in the local dialect.

In 1860, the Spanish colonial government included Capas, together with

Concepcion, Bamban, Mabalacat, Magalang, Porac, Floridablanca, Victoria and

Tarlac, in the creation of the politico-military commandancia. The commandancia,

however, had ceased from its function when Tarlac was created into a province in

1874. Due to the floods that frequently inundated the Cutcut River banks, the town

was relocated to the upper area where it is now permanently established.

Capas has had its share in the country’s colorful history. Its people also

joined the uprising when the Philippines revolted against Spain. But the most

memorable of all times, which Capas was made famous for, was its being the

terminal point of the infamous Death March joined by the American and Filipino

soldiers during the Japanese occupation. The town was once a host to the

American strategic facilities – the O’Donnell Transmitter station and the Naval

Transmitter Station – which were instrumental to the United States’ continuous 67

dominance over Asia. Incidentally, Capas is the hometown of Bernabe G.

Buscayno or “Kumander Dante” who carved out his name in late 1960s and

1970s, the turbulent period of the Philippine contemporary history.

After the siege of two subsequent disasters caused by Mount Pinatubo

eruption that displaces the local economy, and the closure of American military

bases that caused the loss of numerous jobs, Capas has rose from its feet. The

town is now cautiously observed by its nearby neighbors as its potentials area now

being harnessed for economic development.

Geographical Location

Capas occupies a total area of 43,148.55 hectares (LMS, DENR). The town

is located in the southwestern part of Tarlac province. A landlocked area, it is

bounded by the towns of San Jose on the north, Tarlac on the northeast,

Concepcion on the east,

Bamban on the south and the province of Zambales on the west. Capas lies

at the geographical coordinates of 15’15” to 15’ 26” latitude and 120’ 37” longitude.

Topography and Slope

Capas approximately has 46.24% rolling to hilly lands while the rest is

plains to mountains. Its northern and eastern parts from the extensive level plain

with considerable deposits of sand, loam and clay while its western portion consist 67

of hills and mountains.

The town’s southwestern part is bounded by ridges predominantly of

pyroclastic materials that drain from Mount Pinatubo in the Zambales border.

Land Cover

Forest land occupied the largest are of Capas which is estimated at least

15.32% or 5,764.43 hectares.

Geology

The broad alluvial plain of Capas was believed to have come from the

surrounding parent materials of igneous rocks and sedimentary areas. The

different rock types underlying the area were influenced by climatic changes,

resulting to the breaking down and weathering. In areas where erosion is severe,

the weathered part of rock outcrops was fragmented by accumulates in low-lying

areas of Capas forming the extensive alluvial plain.

In undulating weathered remains stayed in place and were seen mostly in

sedimentary areas. Some parts were terraced by farmers mainly for agricultural

use. Other residual soils were observed in volcanic hills and mountains.

Sand deposits containing predominantly of quartz and magnetite minerals

were observed in O’Donnell River. It is believed to have come from the pyroclastic

hills and mountains in the southern part of the municipality. Sand and gravel found

Soil

The southern and eastern areas of the town are characteristics by Tarlac

Clay Loam, La Paz Fine Sand and Luisita Sandy Sand. From its central portion

going to Bamban in the south and towards north to the portions of San Clemente,

the area is dominated by Tarlac Clay Loam. The western boundary side, forming

the eastern side of Zambales forest areas and mountain ranges, is dominated by

volcanic rocks of the basalt and andesite types covered by undifferentiated Tarlac

Soils. The characteristics of these types of soils are as follows:

 Tarlac Soils (undifferentiated) – are soils found in the mountains and

forest areas in the boundary with Zambales. It constitutes 31.95% of the

area of Capas.

 La Paz Fine Sand – the surface relief is nearly level to slightly undulating

and is well drained both internally and externally. However, because of the

texture of the soil, crops suffer from the lack of moisture during periods of

drought. This soil, estimated at 4.54% of the town’s area, is planted to

sugarcane and rice. It is practically suited to all locally grown crops.

 Luisita Fine Sandy Loam – the surface soil has depth that ranges at 35

-50 cm., its color is gray to whitish gray fine sandy loam. There is a small
67
amount of silt and clay that makes the soil compact, hard and cracks when

dry. Fruit trees are grown in this type of soil. This type of soil constitutes

6.76% of Capas total area.

 Tarlac Clay Loam – the surface of this type is dark gray to nearly black,

fine granules, sticky and gritty clay loam. Its depth range at 35 – 50 cm. and

covers some 55.75% of the total town’s area. When hard, it becomes

compact and cracks into big clods. Rice and fruit trees are also grown in

this type of soil.

Elevation

The upland areas are in elevation 50.83 meters above sea level.

Weather and Climate

The whole province of Tarlac, to include the town of Capas, falls in the first

type of the modified Corona Classification which was characterized by two distinct

seasons, wet and dry. The wet season covers the period.

Temperature

It is the coldest province in the region, with a yearly average of 23 °C (73

°F). Cold snap is not common, which gradually receives unusual average

temperature of 17 °C (63 °F), while maximum daytime peaks 27 °C (81 °F). The 67

lowest temperature ever recorded is 11.2 °C (52.2 °F) and the highest temperature

at 38.8 °C (101.8 °F).

Humidity

On average, the temperature are always high. A lot of rainy season falls in

the months: May, June, July, August, September and October. Capas, Tarlac has

dry periods in January, February, March and December. The warmest month is

April and the coolest month is August, August is the wettest month.

Rainfall

Maximum rainfall in Capas usually occurs from the months of June to August.

Social Composition and Characteristics

Historical Population

As of 2007, the highest household population distributed among Capas’ 20

barangays was observed in Cristo Rey at 24,623. Far second and third were the

population of O’Donnell and Sta. Lucia at 13,378 and 9,397 respectively. Manga

and Bueno were observed to be among the least populated barangays at 1,517

and 1,255 respectively. These figures, however, do not establish a pattern in

Capas as populations in some barangays have changed drastically due to their

67
transfer from one barangay to another.

CHAPTER III | Research Methodology, Data Presentation, Interpretation and Analysis

Population and Household

The National Statistics Office population survey revealed that Capas has a

total population of 122,084 and total household of 23,716 as of 2007. These

figures represent 9.8% and 9.2% respectively that of the province’s total for the

same period. Between 2000 and 2007, the town’s household population grew

annually by 3.55%, a rate higher than the province’s 2.11 % and more than of the

region’s 2.12%. With this growth rate, Capas now ranks third in Tarlac Province

among the municipalities with bigger population following Tarlac City and

Concepcion. The town has significantly overtaken its ranks in the previous

population surveys at sixth services by the local government.

Population Distribution Per Barangay

As of 2007, the highest household population distributed among Capas’ 20

barangays was observed in Cristo Rey at 24,623. Far second and third were the

population of O’Donnell and Sta. Lucia at 13,378 and 9,397 respectively. Manga

Social Development Profile

A phenomenon that could be observed in Capas’ present demographic

character is the quite higher number of the male than the female population. As of

2007, the male, estimated at 62,715 shared 51.37 of the total population.

Age wise, however, the town’s population structure for both gender seem to

represent a typical pine tree: a straight stem at the base, a ballooned canopy at

the middle yet thinning systematically at its upper part like a cone. Population with

ages below one (1) year old represent a thinly 2.66% of the total, serves as the

base suggesting that couples observed child spacing. However, population begins

to bloat at ages 1 – 4 years old range to the peak of 5 – 9 years range. These

represent a combined 22.81% of the total population. It then begins to decrease at

10 – 14 years old range onwards as depicted. It is also noted that women

population becomes greater than men when they reached the age of 60 – 64

years old range onwards indicating that women in Capas have generally longer life

than men. The population profile of Capas by age and by gender distribution in

Population Density

The town’s population growth at the yearly rate of 3.55% has bearing to its

available space for settlement and to its carrying capacity. As of 2007, Capas has

reached an average density level of 3.24 persons per hectare as differed from the

2.5 person per hectare it achieved five years ago. The small area occupied by

some barangays have, of course, will result to their being densely populated as

observed in Cutcut I at 64.51 persons/ha.; Sto. Domingo I - 82.77 persons/ha.;

Talaga - 14.28 persons/ha.; and Cubcub - 13.14 persons/ha. Conversely, those

barangays with bigger areas but with least population will certainly have sparse

population. These are exemplified by Sta. Lucia at 2.78 persons/ha.; Sta. Juliana

0.95 persons/ha.; Bueno 0.20 persons/ha.; and Maruglu at 0.20 persons/ha.

Population Shifts

While Sto. Domingo I, Sto. Domingo II, Cubcub, Sto. Rosario and Cutcut I

have long been identified as among Capas’ urban barangays, others are emerging

to be classified as such. Such observation is primarily due to the significant density

level they achieved in the past three population surveys beginning from 1995

towards 2000 and 2007. This is led by Aranguren which is primarily due to the

resettlement site and the employment training center. Except Cutcut II, which is

pulling a surprise, the others were just waiting to be classified officially, such as,
67
Dolores, Estrada and Talaga. O’Donnell, being densely populated next to Cristo

Rey, could already be classified to urban category for it has already complied with

the 7,000 population requirement by the National Statistics Office.

Population Projection

By 2020, the population of Capas would be 192,125 using a yearly

conservative growth rate assumption of 3.55%. The projection considered the

population patterns in the survey conducted in 1995, 2000, 2007. However, it is

expected that the projected level would be even higher by the end of the projection

period should all programmed developments in Capas surrounding vicinity would

have been implemented by that time.

Among the factors that triggered the population increase was the transfer of

AFP headquarters in Camp O’Donnell and the full development of the former US

Military Bases into a special economic zone. Both projects will be a magnet to

migrants coming to Capas who would either work or provide services in the two

facilities. Thus, the settlers would need areas for permanent settlement, road

arteries for mobility and public market for the procurement of staple food

requirements. This is the projected population of Capas from 2007 to 2020.

INFRASTRUCTURE & UTILITIES

Transportation Circulation

67
The circulation system of a Municipality is a vital factor in the development

of its physical structures. It serves to provide the growing demand of accessibility

CHAPTER III | Research Methodology, Data Presentation, Interpretation and Analysis
 PhilSA : Philippine
A proposed NationalSports Academy
Sports Academy
New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac
and mobility to the activity areas of the Municipality and can likewise be used to

direct the spatial development trend or planned growth configuration of the town.

There are two (2) national roads that link Capas with other municipalities

and provinces. These are the Manila North Road an arterial road classified as a

north-south backbone, and the Capas-Concepcion-Magalang Road, which is

classified as a national secondary road.

The Manila North Road caters for thru traffic particularly vehicles travelling

to and from Manila and North Luzon provinces such as Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur,

Pangasinan, La Union including Cordillera Provinces and Baguio City. The Manila

North Road also serves as the link of Capas to NLEX.

The Capas-Concepcion-Magalang Road, on the other hand, serves the

traffic between Capas and Concepcion and Magalang, Pampanga and likewise

forms part of the Capas’ access to SCTEX. Other vehicular traffic as well as public

utility vehicles, mostly jeepneys, provides transport services between Capas and

other neighboring municipalities and cities such as Capas-Concepcion-Tarlac and

Capas-Bamban-Angeles route.

A proposed national road linking Capas and Botolan in Zambales Province

under the national government through the DPWH is one of the proposed major

infrastructure projects in the Municipality. 67

CHAPTER III | Research Methodology, Data Presentation, Interpretation and Analysis

Traffic congestion problem is now being experienced along the Manila

North Road particularly on the section between the Cutcut Bridge and the

municipal hall building where lies the central business district of the Municipality.

This is aggravated by the presence of jeepneys and tricycle terminals along the

side streets most especially near the public market, schools, church and other

business establishments wherein various activities converge.

The Cubcub Commercial-Institutional Node as well as the Estrada Agro-

Industrial Node are located along or near the Manila North Road. Activities on

these nodes will increase and will definitely have an effect that will worsen traffic

congestion in the Manila North Road.

The proposed integrated terminal and other proposed structures such as

pedestrian footbridges, loading and unloading bays and other street furniture

including the proposed traffic management plan are all envisaged to ease the

traffic-related problems in the Municipality’s CBD as well as to address the future

transport demand that will be generated by the growth nodes.

Roads

The existing road network of the Municipality covers 18.89 hectares or

0.05% of the total land area. The total road length is 181.87 kilometers, with the

following breakdown: 28.34 kilometers or 15.58% account for national roads; 67

CHAPTER III | Research Methodology, Data Presentation, Interpretation and Analysis

 PhilSA : Philippine

Sports Academy

17.60 kilometers or 9.68% for provincial roads; 1.40 kilometers or 0.77% for

municipal roads; and 134.53 kilometers or 73.97% for barangay roads.

Water Supply

Only 12 barangays out of the total 20 barangays are being served by BCBI-

Capas Waterworks, albeit not all households on these 12 barangays have an

access to the water supply system. As of 2010, there are only a total of 3,411

connections as compared to the estimated 26,062 total households in Capas for

the same year. The main source of water supply is underground with five (5)

existing pumping stations strategically located within the Municipality with a total

aggregate output of 100,027 cubic meters per month in 2010.

Three (3) pumping stations located in Barangays Sto. Domingo II, Sto.

Rosario and Talaga are interconnected and providing water supply to the

Poblacion and nearby barangays of Cutcut I, Cutcut II, Sto. Rosario, Cubcub, Sto.

Domingo I and II,

Aranguren, Manlapig, Dolores and Talaga. The other two (2) pumping

stations which are both located in Barangay Patling are also interconnected 67

serving Patling and Sta. Lucia. The Kalangitan Resettlement Area Water Supply

 PhilSA : Philippine

New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac
System which is being managed by ORWAMCO serves mainly the water supply

requirements of Barangay Cristo Rey.

The water requirements of other barangays outside the service area of

BCBI-Capas Waterworks and ORWAMCO still rely on deep wells, shallow wells

and rain water or depend mainly on water traders.

A comprehensive study on the available alternative sources of water for

sustainability for the growing demand and the possible expansion of services of

the BCBI-Capas Waterworks and ORWAMCO especially on the identified growth

nodes should be considered in the Municipality’s priority programs in the first

phase of the planning period.

Power Supply

Power supply is distributed by the Tarlac Electric Cooperative Inc.

(TARELCO) and all the 20 barangays of Capas are reached by the distribution

system, although electricity is not yet available to some houses and remote sitios.

According to TARELCO, there is enough supply of electricity for the Municipality

but the problem of accessibility to some remote sitios poses hindrances to the

delivery of power services to these areas.

Barangays Bueno and Maruglu are the two (2) barangays with the lowest
67
number of households with power connections. As identified and recommended in

the discussion of the circulatory system of the Municipality, the construction of the
CHAPTER III | Research Methodology, Data Presentation, Interpretation and Analysis
 PhilSA : Philippine

Sports Academy
New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac
proposed Bueno Bridge with the proposed road improvements to pave standards

of all roads leading to all the proposed development nodes, will facilitate faster

delivery of power supply and other basic services needed or required to stir the

envisioned development to these sites, particularly Maruglu and Bueno.

Telecommunications System

Capas is served with all types of communication facilities; print, broadcast,

postal, telecom, telephone and Internet services. Landline-based telephone

service is provided by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) Company

and DIGITEL, while mobile phone services are provided by Globe Telecom, Smart

Telecommunications, Inc., and Sun Cellular Network.

Education

There are 31 public elementary schools covering 21.13 hectares; eight (8)

public high schools accounting to 9.61 hectare. To determine the land requirement

for public elementary and high schools, the 2007 and 2008 enrollment data, as

well as the standard teacher/classroom to student ratio set by the Department of

Education (DepEd) was used.

In the case of public elementary schools, the enrollment for 2008 was 67

16,582, with 400 teachers and 402 classrooms. Thus, the teacher/classroom to

CHAPTER III | Research Methodology, Data Presentation, Interpretation and Analysis

 PhilSA : Philippine

Sports Academy
New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac
pupil ratio is 1:41. This is below the DepEd standard of 1:35. By 2020, the

projected enrolment is 18,909 pupils. To meet the standards, 140 additional

teachers and 133 additional classrooms are needed. Considering the standard

classroom size per pupil of 1.4 square meters, the land area required for the

additional classrooms is 0.65 hectares.

For public high schools, there were 9,090 enrollees, 194 teachers, and 97

classrooms in 2007, yielding a 1:47 teacher to pupil ratio, and 1:94 classroom to

student ratio. This is below the DepEd standard of 1:40. The projected high school

enrolment for 2020 is 12,531. Given this, 119 additional teachers and 216

additional classrooms are needed to meet the standards. Using the standard

classroom size per pupil of 1.4 square meters, 1.21 hectares is needed for the

required classrooms in 2020.

In summary, approximately 1.86 hectares is needed for the required public

elementary and high school classrooms in 2020.

Sports

The public school officials in Capas and the Local School Board were able

to work actively in the promotion of the School Sports Competition Development

Program, a program designed for school district to send athletes for the national

competition. Although these officials have exerted their efforts, the school sports 67

Sports Academy
New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac
programs have not met the DepEd standards. Specific sports activities that match

the students’ maximum capacity to perform were not initiated.

One shortcoming is the promotion of sports program in Capas is the

inavailability of wide area required for conducting the sports program in each

school. The present area that each activities being undertaken in Capas is the

inter-municipal and district schools competition which is being sponsored by the

local government.

Sports and Recreational Facilities. The establishment and modernization of

existing facilities in all barangays (inside the Barangay Complex) will be through

public-private partnership. These facilities can be co-managed by DepEd and

LGU. Public action will require public schools to open their sports facilities for use

by the residents outside of school hours.
