TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN

2017-2025

CHAPTER I

1.1 Rationale

Sixteen (16) years had passed since Tanauan became a city. Since then,
rapid urbanization was observed. The increasing number of investors and developers
is very noticeable. However, these developments have also resulted in traffic
congestion, inadequate water supply and energy, increasing volume of solid and liquid
wastes, frequent flooding and influx of informal settlers, among others. The city’s
progress likewise attracts more migrants. Thus, to address the problem of illegal
dwellers, and to comply with the existing laws on housing such as R.A 7160 or the
Local Government Code of 1991 and R.A 7279 or the Urban Development and
Housing Act (UDHA), the City Government of Tanauan through the City Planning and
Development Office crafted this plan.

1.2 Objectives

1.2.1 Primary Objective:

 To provide safe, healthy and affordable housing facilities to 1,949

informal settlers living in makeshift housing and danger zones along San Juan River,
Philippine National Railways (PNR) and other barangays in the city.

1.2.2 Secondary Objectives:

 To institutionalize a Local Housing Board who will be in-charge with

the assessment and monitoring of housing supply and demand in Tanauan City.

 To determine and monitor the magnitude of other housing - related

problems in the City of Tanauan including the impact of migration.

 To increase the accessibility for decent homes of the families in

 2

2017-2025

Tanauan City particularly those in the lower income group.

 To upgrade services provided by the housing related infrastructure

such as water supply services, power supply services, increased road networks and
improved communication facilities.

 To discourage professional squatters

1.3 Target Population:

The immediate target beneficiaries of this housing projects are the illegal
settlers along San Juan River, PNR and other barangays composed of 1,949
households. This is attached as Annex B of this plan.

1.4. Shelter Planning Process

1.4.1 Key Players, Roles and Responsibilities

2017-2025

The Shelter Plan Formulation process, as shown in Figure 1, basically

involves six (6) main activities namely:

Data Gathering - involves retrieving documents and gathering

information from different agencies which will be the basis for computation or
input for analysis

Situational Analysis - a process of looking into the current housing

situation, e.g.; housing need, housing related problems of the locality and the
type of assistance the LGU can extend. In this phase, as assessment of
affordability and resources are done. This is a critical activity as the information
and outputs of this particular phase will be the basis for formulating the main
strategies.

Goal Formulation - the vision and goals as well as objectives and

targets of the local housing programs are set. This activity is an essential step
in preparing local shelter plans because it provides the planners and evaluators
of the housing program with a clear perspective of the desired change and the
processes involved.

Generation of Shelter Strategies - this is undertaken after the

planner has been informed of the shelter needs of the city and conclusions has
been arrived at after an analysis of affordability and resource requirements
have been done.

Preparation of an Implementation Plan - whereas in formulating

strategies the planners answer the question: “How can the problem be
solved?”, the implementation plan answers the question “what needs to be
done?” by outlining the details involved in actually undertaking the strategy.
 5
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

Monitoring and Evaluation strategies - will provide the implementers

immediate and relevant information to ensure effective and efficient delivery of
shelter and shelter related services.

TANAUAN CITY PROFILE

2.1 Geographic Location and Features

2.1.1 General Overview

Tanauan City is home to scenic nature’s and beauty, attractive investment

opportunities, rich culture and historical heritage, superb adventure and vigorous
industrialization. It is known as the “Cradle of Noble Heroes”, “City of Character” and
the “City of Colors”.

The natural wealth of its land and the dynamism and resourcefulness of its people
pave the way to competitiveness, bringing the city to the crest of progress and
advancement.

In the midst of development, we envision to share the exquisite and enticing places
being painstakingly preserved and nurtured in the city. We seek to share its rich
history, cultural heritage, natural attractions and the values, trades and traditions of a
warm and friendly citizenry.

Inspired by the industriousness of Tanaueños, we preserved in moving the city

towards attainment of its vision in sustainable agricultural, industrial, commercial, and
tourism development; people empowerment and well-being; and good governance.

2.2 Demography

Population being understood as the most important set of information for planning, is
the basis for determining the level of needs for public services like schools, health
center, recreational facilities, power, water, protective services among others.
Population creates local demand for goods and services affecting the level of
economic activities in sustaining their viable existence in an area. The present and
projected size of the population is an equally important input in assessing housing and
other basic needs adequacy as well as calculating future demand. It also serves as a
guide for allocating land for various uses.

The figure below shows the total number of population of Tanauan, per barangay as
extracted from the CBMS 2014.

2.3 Topography, Slope and Elevation

Majority of the areas in Tanauan City belong to 0 to 15 percent slope that are
undulating to rolling. Most of the areas with steep slope of more than 65 percent are
located in Barangays Sulpoc, Montana, San Jose, Maugat, Ambulong, Bañadero,
Talaga, Banjo West, portions of Darasa and Poblacion 3.

Steep hills and mountains with slope of 30 to 65 percent are located in Suplang,
Sulpoc, Balele, Wawa, Boot and Maria Paz. Furthermore, Barangays which belong to
0 to 3 percent slope are portions of Laurel, MalakingPulo, AlturaMatanda, Altura Bata,
Altura South, Montana, Luyos, Cale, Bilog-bilog, Pantay Bata, Pantay Matanda, Sala,
Pagaspas, Trapiche, Poblacion Area, Natatas, Bagumbayan, Hidalgo, Sambat and
Darasa. The slopes in these barangays are gently sloping to undulating. The rest of
the barangays have 8 to 15 percent slope that are undulating to rolling. Mt. Makiling,
with a spot elevation of 1090m, is approximately within four (4) to five (5) kilometers
from the city (refer to Map 2.1 Elevation Map).

2.4 Climate

Tanauan City’s climate falls on Type I classification which is described as having two
pronounced seasons, dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year.
Maximum rain period is from June to September.

On average, temperatures are high except during the month of January and December
when there is a nice average temperature. A lot of rain falls during the month of May
to November. On the average the hottest month is May and the coldest month is
December. August is the wettest month and February is the driest. (weather-and-
climate.com)
 12
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

The climate here is tropical. There is significant rainfall in most months of the year.
The short dry season has little effect on the overall climate. According to Köppen and
Geiger, this climate is classified as Am. The temperature here averages 26.4 °C.
Precipitation here averages 1996 mm.
 13

 14
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

2.5 Soil Type

There are four (4) soil types that can be found in Tanauan City. Majority of the soil
are Taal Fine Sandy Loam followed by Lipa Loam (deep phase), Lipa Loam and
Tagaytay Sandy Loam.

Lipa Loam comprises about 1,354.1 hectares or 12% of the total land area of the
city. This type of soil can be found in the southeastern side of the city. All of the
urban barangays have this type of soil and portions of rural barangays, namely:
Banjo West, Banjo East, Hidalgo, Mabini, Tinurik, and Bagumbayan.

Lipa Loam (deep phase) is the type of soil covers about 2,541.4 has or 23% of the
total land area of the city. It is usually found in the eastern portion of the city, along
the San Juan River and some adjacent barangays. Lipa loam (deep phase)
consists of 25 to 35 centimeters of surface soil and 57 to 100 centimeters of subsoil.
The parent material is about 120 to 150 centimeters from the surface. These areas
are located on the lowland of Santo Tomas and East of Lipa, near Halaraya
Mountain.

Most of the barangays have Taal Fine Sandy Loam, as the type of soil. It comprised
almost 6,216.00 hectares or 56% of the total land area of Tanauan City. Taal fine
sandy loam consists of light-gray loose and structureless fine sandy loam surface
soil. When wet, the color is dark brown to black. The depth ranges from 0 to 40
centimeters. Below this surface, soils are several thin layers of volcanic sand
separated by thick horizons of fine sand. In general, the surface and subsoil are
loose and seldom compact.

Tagaytay Sandy Loam covers only 951.2 hectares or 9% of the total land area of
the city. It can be found in barangays northwest of the city, namely Suplang,
Sulpoc, Montaña portion of Luyos, Altura Bata and Malaking Pulo.
 15
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN

2.6 Vulnerability to Geohazards

Geohazard is a geological state that may lead to widespread damage or risk.

Geohazards are geological and environmental conditions and involve long-term or
short-term geological processes (Wikipedia.org).

Tanauan is susceptible to different hazards. One of the most devastating hazards

present is the volcanic eruption of the famous Taal Volcano. In the base surge
scenario, where a volcano erupts on their sides, the PHIVOLCS has designated a
17km radius buffer zone from the center to be the safest place.

In the event that Taal volcano erupts, those low- lying lakeshore barangays are in
high risk of ash fall. They are likely to receive greater than 10 centimeters of ash
fall. The rest of the city is likely to receive 1-10 cm of ash fall. Barangay Darasa,
Suplang, Santol and some parts of MalakingPulo and Laurel are likely to receive
less than one (1) centimeter of ash fall. A detailed plan of action is needed because
of the magnitude of coverage of volcanic eruption.

There is a possibility of an acid rain in all parts of Tanauan City and neighboring
localities in case Taal Volcano erupts; due to volcanic gases that the volcano may
discharge that could reach as high as three (3) thousand meters. Precautions
should be made when such things occur.

In line with the government’s effort, aimed at reducing, if not totally preventing, the
destructive effects and impacts of natural hazards on the populace, the Mines and
Geosciences Bureau Region IV-A (CALABARZON) conducted a geohazard
assessment of the 48 barangays of Tanauan City. The assessment was
undertaken by technical personnel from the Geosciences Division.

The assessed areas were rated as having low, moderate, high and very high
(critical) susceptibility to landslide and low, moderate and high susceptibility to
flooding.
 16
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

The barangay official/s was presented with a Landslide or Flooding Threat

Advisory. This advisory informs them of their area’s susceptibility to landslides or
flooding and contains the corresponding recommendations particular to the
barangay.

The results of the MGB Field Assessment are as follows:

In terms of landslide susceptibility:

 Barangays Boot, Maria Paz and San Jose were rated High
 Barangays Maugat and Sulpoc were rated Moderate
 Barangays Bañadero, Trapiche and Bilogbilog were rated Low to Moderate
 The rest of the barangays (40) were rated Low for landslide

In terms of flooding susceptibility:

 Eleven (11) barangays, namely Altura_Bata, Altura_Matanda,
Altura_South, Ambulong, Boot, Gonzales, Janopol_Occidental,
Malaking_Pulo, Montana, Sambat and Wawa were rated High for flooding
 Rated Moderate to High in term of flood susceptibility are Barangays
Banadero and Sulpoc.
 Barangays Bagbag, Bagumbayan, Balele, Hidalgo, Janopol_Oriental,
Poblacion_VI and Tinurik were rated Low to Moderate for flooding
 The rest of the barangays (28) were rated Low for flooding
The tables below present the summary of the results of assessment:

2.6.1 Soil Erosion

The lakeshore and its adjoining hilly barangays are prone to soil erosion and
degradation due to its topography and soil type. Farmers practice soil cultivation
which/and also contribute soil erosion and degradation. These are barangays
located near or along the Taal Lake. Barangays with deep creeks that serve as
 17
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

natural water ways are also prone to erosion, as high intensity development
continues, siltation of creeks and rivers that serve as natural drainage system will
be flatten, thus, flooding in rural barangays will be aggravated. When heavy rains
occur, topsoil is being washed away; leaving less fertile subsoil, which is not good
for crop production. These areas need soil conservation and management
approaches to prevent possible landslides and degradation. In the Poblacion area,
an environment management system needs to be prioritized to keep the
environmental condition from worsening, thus lessening the harmful effects of
climate change.

The City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council had developed a
contingency plan for the said incidents. They had prepared for the incidents from
the evacuation process up to the rehabilitation of the affected areas. They had even
invited that would be affected barangays and their disaster committees to
integrate/incorporate their contingency plan to the city. The plans will be followed
by series of drills and exercises for familiarization.

2.6.2 Flood

There are identified flood prone areas in Tanauan City, as shown in the table below.
These flood prone areas need immediate attention to prevent greater damages
when strong typhoons occur. Flooding could be due to inadequate drainage system
and improper waste disposal, resulting to clogging of canals.

Upon the implementation of the flood control projects by the Department of Public
Works and Highway, subsequent with the upgrading and widening of the national
roads, flooding problem on road sections that were completed lessened or
minimized. The City Government of Tanauan, through the City Engineering Office,
completed the drainage system master plan in the Poblacion area, thus, it is
expected that flooding in Poblacion will be reduced also.
 18
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

However, low-lying rural Barangays such as Hidalgo, Bagumbayan, Trapiche, Sala

and Pagaspas, Altura Bata, Altura Matanda, Altura South, Malaking Pulo, Sulpoc
and Montaña continue to experience flooding problems. These problems were
aggravated by the massive change in land use from agricultural to residential
subdivision of the adjoining barangays with higher elevation and which does not
tap their drainage to natural drainage systems.

2.6.3 Volcanic Hazards

The entire Taal Volcano Island is a permanent danger zone where an estimated
4,698 people live near the crater of Taal Volcano and remain at risk in case of its
eruption. This population has not been permanently relocated but their temporary
relocation including details of shelter assignments for the communities are
described in the Taal Volcano Contingency Plan.

The plan embraces all conceivable counter disaster activities in making use of all
available resources, both government and private sectors. Included in the plan are
the Taal Volcano Early Warning System and Taal Volcano Eruption Evacuation
System.

2.6.4 Base Surge

In case of volcanic eruption, only Napayong Island and Sitio Mahabang Buhangin
are susceptible to base surge. Therefore, evacuation of all inhabitants in these
areas is recommended when there is a threat of volcanic eruption.

In case of eruption and base surge occurrence, only small part of the city is in
danger. Barangays in danger are all lakeshore barangays and lower portion of
barangay Bagbag. Middle part of the city is most likely to experience ground
subsidence and these barangays are Wawa, Gonzales, Bañadero, Ambulong,
Maria Paz, Boot, Janopol, San Jose, Maugat, Montaña San Jose, Talaga, Luyos,
 19
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

Santor, Bilog-bilog, Cale, Sala, Pagaspas, Altura Matanda, Altura Bata, Altura
South, Pagaspas, Pantay Bata, Pantay Matanda, Ulango and Laurel.

2.7 Natural Resources

2.7.1 Forestry

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance indicated that
portions of Barangay Maria Paz and Barangay Suplang are classified as Forest
Zone. The steep slope in these areas is the basis for the zoning classification.

However, there is no available Land Classification map declaring the area as

timber land. Furthermore, areas in Barangay Suplang has been converted into high
end residential subdivision.

2.7.2 Water Resources

Taal Lake is located in the southwest portion of Tanauan City. The Lake has
an area of 127 sq. kms. and 200 meters deep. San Juan River, another water
source, is a 33.5 km river system that traverses the towns of Malvar. and Sto.
Tomas and the City of Tanauan, Calamba, and Lipa. The depth of the river ranges
from 0.04m to about 20m deep. The San Juan River is one of the 24 sub-
watersheds of Laguna de Bay (SJRRP, 2000).

Other water bodies surrounding the city and serving as natural boundaries are
Sangalo River (Malvar), Balete River (Balete), and Lipa Bay in the southern portion.
Located in the West is the Angasin River, serving as a boundary between the
municipalities of Talisay and Tanauan City.

Tanauan City is also blessed with springs. Many springs and seepages are
known to exist along the slopes and flanks of Mt. Makiling. From such, only three
(3) springs can be considered potential sources of municipal water supply. Each of
 20
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

the springs is provided with a spring box and the discharges are conveyed to a
common transmission pipe. Volumetric measurement conducted last July 17,
1990, showed an aggregate discharge of 8.8 liters per second. Its expected
minimum flow is 5 liters per second.

Ground water is a very important resource and is about 0.6% of the

hydrosphere. This very important resource is one of the sources of drinking water
supply in Tanauan City. Ground water is a part of the subsurface water that fully
saturates the pore spaces of bedrock zone and it is held in the unsaturated zone
by capillary zone in tiny films adding to the mineral surfaces. The water level in
Tanauan City is 38 meters below ground (relative to mean sea level). Based on the
water level contour map of Batangas, Tanauan’s flow pattern of ground water is
towards Taal Lake. Based on Potential Area Ground Water Development,
Tanauan City is considered a low yielding area. Its aquifer is considered under
category expectable aquifer; meaning high yielding wells may not be expected
because of their small number of recharges.

Based on the study conducted by TANWD, Tanauan and Sto. Tomas areas are
rich in ground water resources and the amount of discharges during the conduct
of the study is greater than aggregate of natural and artificial discharges in these
areas.

2.8. Development Constraints and Opportunities

2.8.1 Development Constrains and List of Prioritized issues and

Concerns

Tanauan City has been growing rapidly specially in terms of economic

development. This fast-paced development is associated with the presence of
Industrial Parks, accessibility via major road networks, and the city's proximity to
significant growth centers, Metro Manila & Makati, to name a few.
 21
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

Consequently, with inevitable growth come the challenges that need immediate
planning and attention to avoid deterioration and blight of the city. Among these
challenges are traffic congestion, solid waste management, peace & order and
other issues related to social, economic, infrastructure, land use and environment.

2.8.2 Traffic congestion

Traffic Congestion compromises the city's productivity and efficiency. It slows down
the movement of goods and delivery of services, increases vehicle operating costs,
converts productive man-hours into travel time plus its negative impact on public
health and environment.

Tanauan City is not exempted from this constraint. The expected influx of more
industrial, commercial and residential development that could be initiated by private
sectors both in the city and within its immediate boundaries, changes in the urban
setting of the city is just at the threshold. Moreover, there are plans and proposals
for tourism development, targeting in particular the areas along Taal Lake. The
relocation of the New City Hall on the west of the Star Toll will also affect traffic
situation in the area of Barangay Natatas. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt a full
transport and traffic management plan to maximize the impact of benefits from
these plans and developments.

Considering that non-vehicular traffic is being noted, the DPWH construct foot
bridges on strategic location such as in commercial and institutional areas. In effect
traffic flow improved and reduces dangers to all road users both vehicular and non-
vehicular.
 22
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

2.8.3 Flooding

Flooding in some of the streets within the Poblacion area and in some barangays
is another concern. This needs comprehensive planning in order for the city to
retain its attractiveness and appeal.

Flooding is considered to be one of the causes of traffic during rainy season. This
is due to ineffective drainage system, improper waste disposal and further
compounded by increasing number of residential subdivisions, schools,
commercial establishments, locators at two industrial parks and other economic
activities within the city. Areas prone to flooding should be clearly identified.
Subsequently, a complete flood control plan must be created and constructed.

2.8.4 Solid Waste Management

Pursuant to R.A 9003 otherwise known as “Ecological Solid Waste Management

Act of 2000, the City Government through the City Environment and Natural
Resources Office, established its first Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The facility
started its operation on November 2014.The first 1-ton of compost was harvested
on January 2015 and turned -over to the City Agriculture. Despite this project,
disposal of solid waste still remains a challenge for the city government as the
implementation is still in the infant stage. It is unfortunate that improper waste
disposal is still prominent in different areas within the city. The city government
must strengthen the implementation of penalties to offenders of the ordinance in
order to realize the impact of its benefits.

2.8.5 Informal settlements

Partly due to the city’s development and partly out of ignorance of the law, a
number of whom are informal settlers, are found to have constructed their houses
in places that ought not to be built over. These areas are that off limits to human
settlements but are somehow being encroached upon include San Juan
 23
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

Riverbanks, Philippine National Railways property and other environmentally

constrained areas. Based on 2014 CBMS Survey, there are 1, 314 households
who are informal settlers and 635 households living in makeshift housing, giving a
sum of 1,949 households in need for this housing project of the local government

Increase in number of migrants resulted to population increase making the city

proper over populated and congested. Relative to the present situation, it is
unfortunate that the city does not have available government owned socialized/low
cost housing project yet. Increasing number of “badjaos” roaming and begging
around the city contributes to the social problems, garbage disposal and traffic
concerns.

2.9 Vulnerability to Climate Change and Natural and Man-Made Disaster Risk

Global warming is being manifested by the trends of increasing number of hot days
and warm nights and decreasing number of cold days and cool nights. Both
maximum and minimum temperatures are getting warmer. Extreme
weather/climate events like intense rain have been seen to be more frequent. The
trend of increasing frequency of tropical cyclone crossing Southern Tagalog area
make us prone to disaster, both life and property of the city constituents.

Added heat stress, shifting monsoons, drier soils and water shortages as a result
of higher temperatures will affect the livestock industry and crop production pattern,
thus, resulting to reduce food supplies and contribute to higher food prices.
Extreme warming increases drought which lessen the supply of water, would also
result to negative impact on health, it can directly cause loss of life. Taal Volcano
is another treat that could affect Tanauan, in the event that it becomes active or
eruption occur. There are barangays that is within 10 km radius, and some sitios
or communities are not accessible by land such as Sitio Mahabang Buhangin in
Barangay Maria Paz.

2.10 Development Opportunities and Challenges Geographical/Physical

2.10.1 Strategic Location

Tanauan City is strategically located at the southern part of Metro Manila and forms
part of the emerging metropolitan area at the northeastern part of Batangas. It is
considered as an immediate recipient of the spillover of industries and other
commercial activities from the National Capital Region. Its distance from the
Business Capital of the Philippines, Makati City, is only about 68 kilometers. It is
halfway between the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and the Manila Harbor, and
about 45 kilometers away from the Batangas Sea Port. Also, it is situated near
five cities in the CALABARZON Region, Calamba City, Tagaytay City, San Pablo
City, Sta. Rosa City and Lipa City. Tanauan City's proximity to major growth
centers like Metro Manila and Batangas City made it a recipient of rapid
urbanization.

2.10.2 Accessibility

The city can readily be accessed from Metro Manila, Batangas City and other Cities
of CALABARZON using the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR). The average
travel time from the National Capital Region and Makati City takes only 45 minutes.
Manila –Batangas Highway is another access road to get into the city proper. The
said highway traversed the poblacion and Barangay Darasa and being manage
and maintain by The Department of Public Works and Highway. Tanauan- Talisay-
Tagaytay is another major highway under the jurisdiction of DPWH. It originates
from the Central Business District of the city and connect to different municipalities
of Batangas and the City of Cavite. The Maharlika Highway did not traverse the
City of Tanauan but it is connected to Manila-Batangas Highway by the diversion
road in Sto. Tomas that establishes the connectivity of the city to different
municipalities of Laguna, Quezon and the Bicol Region.
 25
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

In preparation for the urbanization, the city government construct the remaining
unpaved roads, maintains and improves all the existing City and Barangay roads.
Aside from continues maintenance, the City Engineering Office widens and
improves the existing roads coping with the national standard
incorporating all the necessary details required for a safe road design.

The construction and completion of the remaining missing link of Taal Lake
Circumferential Road will further boost the city’s tourism industry. DPWH plan to
implement the construction of the Tanauan road section by 2017. Another national
project that will enhance the accessibility of the city is the proposed rehabilitation
of the Philippine National Railways. This will significantly affect the growth of trade,
industry and commerce once the PNR operationalize.

2.10.3 Agricultural

Tanauan City, with an agricultural area of 8,700.87 hectares, is blessed with

moderately rich fertile soil suitable for all kinds of crops for year around farming. It
is not prone to natural calamities. Concrete roads, including farm to market roads,
provide faster transport of various farm produce to the market. Likewise, the good
road network connects the city to its neighboring towns and cities. Supporting the
agricultural sector, there is a centrally located wholesale market that caters to local
farmers as well as farmers from nearby cities and municipalities.

2.10.4 Commercial/Industrial

Considering that there are two major industrial parks located in the city, the First
Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP) with an industrial area of 240 hectares and Phil.
Town Industrial Estate with 66.06 hectares and with combined total of 306.06
hectares, the city is recognized as the Investment Hub of CALABARZON.

The FPIP has large scale manufacturing companies such as B/E Aerospace,
Batangas Brothers, Inc., Canon, ELSOL, First Philec Solar Corporation, Hoya,
Maxim Philippines Operating Corporation, Miyano Philippines, Inc., Murata,
 26

2017-2025

Pilipinas Green Solitech, Inc., POSCO, Sunpower Philippine Manufacturing Ltd.,

PMFTC, Inc., Schenker Philippines, Inc., Union Autoparts Manufacturing
Philippines, Inc. (UAM), and Nestle. The second Industrial park, the Phil. Town
Industrial Estate which covers 16.93 hectares has existing three locators such as
the Uni-President Land Corporation, Taiyo Nippon Sanso, and Mitsubishi.

2.10.5 Peace & Order

The peace and order situation in the city do not pose a threat to investors/locators.
The BJMP reported a zero-escape record for the past eight (8) years. Crime
incidence especially against person and property historically has been challenging,
though. The local government has prioritized activities to restore and maintain
peace & order. Initiatives were made deploying more police officers and increase
their number to keep up with the standard requirement were taken. In the year
2014 the ratio of a police officer as to the population being served is 1:1330, only
a little below standard which is 1:1000. This current ratio is improving for the past
five years from 1:1900 in the year 2010. In addition, police visibility is increased in
the barangay level as they conduct regular visit in the barangay areas through
symposium and dialogues.

2.10.6 Other competitive features

The city is advantaged with the presence of telephone service providers, cell sites
and internet services network, residents can readily avail of communication
facilities. There is also the existence of tertiary health care facilities such as Daniel
Mercado Medical Center and CP Reyes Hospital.

On the aspect of local administration, the city administration gained thirty-three (33)
ISO-certified service processes, sound fiscal management, and 5S implementer
and recipient of Philippine Quality Award.

2.11 Land Use

2.11.1 EXISTING LAND USE

The land use plan for the City of Tanauan is synchronized with the Provincial
Development Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) where the city’s spatial
development strategy within the Ten-year period 2015-2025 combines balanced
Industrial, Commercial, Tourism and Agri-industrial Development. It covers the four
(4) policy areas such as settlement, infrastructure, production and protection. The
spatial development strategy is the general approach in utilizing the major land and
water uses of the city. It is designed to strengthen the desired function/role of the
city in the province, region and country as a whole.

In addition, the land uses of the National Capital Region (NCR), the present
situation and foreseen effects to the City of Tanauan, and the land uses of the
adjoining cities and municipalities were considered in the said strategy. The
carrying capacity of the NCR, as validated by the indicators of population capacity
of a community is reaching beyond limit. The possibility of environmental collapse
could happen, if no measure or corrective action will be taken by the national
government. The land area of Metro Manila can no longer support the basic needs
and services required by its inhabitants, thus, decongestion of the area needs to
be prioritized.

On the other hand, the Municipality of Talisay and Laurel, the cities of Lipa and
Tagaytay due to its geographical, physical and topographical conditions and
limitations were restricted to allocate lands for industrial uses, thus, Tanauan City
absorbs the said function role.

Likewise, the strategy shall be proposed in consonance with the objectives of the
land and water use plan of efficiently utilizing the city resources and effectively
promoting equitable distribution of socio-economic services and facilities.

2.12 Existing General Land Use

The table below is the existing land use of Tanauan as of 2015. The determination
of the actual area was done by adopting the Barangay Boundaries as determined
by CERTEZA Info Sys, Inc. Its survey was approved by the Land Management
Services, DENR IV-A. It was overlaid on the Google Earth satellite image wherein
the shots for Poblacion was taken on March 8, 2015, while Rural Areas shots were
taken on November 3, 2014.

Considering the importance nowadays of being prepared from all forms of

disasters, the proposed General Land Use Plan for Tanauan City already
mainstream Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) and Climate
Change Adaptation (CCA).

2.13 Designated Zones as per the City’s Zoning Ordinance

2.13.1 Urban Core Zones (Central Business Districts or CBD)

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2004-2014) designated three (3) Central
Business Districts (CBD) such as Poblacion, Altura and Balele. Tanauan City
proper or the Poblacion serves as nuclei of the City and act as the lead CBD. All
CBDs shall function as administrative and coordinating centers, the major
interactive nodes for commerce and trade.
 38
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

The City proper that serves as the Urban Core Zone describes the boundaries of
the General Residential, Commercial and Institutional Districts. Due to high
urbanization level, Darasa and Sambat, the adjoining Barangays of Poblacion, are
included in Poblacion Central Business District, comprising a total land area is
592.96 hectares. The dominant land utilization is residential with a total area of
261.51 hectares or 45.45 % share. The development or influx of planned of
residential subdivisions particularly in Barangay Darasa contributed to the
conversion of the land use from agricultural into residential.

The Commercial area with a total of 48.99 hectares or 8.26 % share including
Waltermart in Barangay Darasa was formerly utilized for agricultural purposes but
was now converted into a mall. Medium scale retail stores and opening of different
branches of banks and well known fast foods, transformed the residential areas
along the national highway into commercial uses. In addition, parks and
recreational areas utilize 46.22 hectares or 7.79%. It includes the operation of
Metro Turf in Barangay Darasa containing an area of 27.52 hectares. Moreover,
the institutional area utilizes 22.71 hectares equivalent to 3.83 % of the total area.
The First Asia Institute of Technology & Humanities (FAITH) and National
Teachers College (NTC) Branch in Barangay Sambat are the new addition to the
institutional areas. However, cemeteries in the urban, the city proper remains the
same with a total area of 6.48 hectares or 1.09 %.

The newly constructed Tanauan City Hall, located in Barangay Natatas likewise,
will greatly change the administrative and coordinating centers of the city. It is
located within the urban expansion zone, being along the Tanauan-Talisay-
Tagaytay National Highway.

Another on-going project with a foreseen impact in the future land use of the city is
the construction of the Triple “AAA” Slaughterhouse and Bagsakan or the
Wholesale Market of agricultural products in the 3.7 hectares, newly acquired
property of the City Government situated in Barangay Sambat, near the Southern
 39
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR). The Wholesale Market makes Tanauan as the
major trading center of Batangas and adjacent municipalities, cities and provinces.
In addition to fruits and vegetables and other farm produce that are being traded in
bagsakan and the operation of the Triple “AAA” Slaughterhouse, the city will
become the major trading center of meat and meat-by products.

Balele Central Business District however responded too slowly. The sixteen (16)
hectares’ residential subdivision that was approved on 2015, is the only remarkable
development in the area.

Land banking by well-known real estate developer was noted in Altura Central
Business District. However, there is still no significant change in land use in that
area except for an orphanage or home for the aged and a cemetery. No remarkable
infrastructure development was realized on the area as a Central Business District
(CBD) that should function as an administrative and coordinating center and an
interactive node of trade and industry, after the 10-year land use planning period.
Topographically the said area is the lowest elevation of Tanauan City and flooding
is a major problem being experience in the area during rainy season.

2.13.2 Socialized Housing Zones (SHZ)

In terms of Socialized Housing Zones (SHZ), the locations of the City’s Socialized
Housing Projects for the urban poor, informal settlers and migrants are the
identified portions of Barangays Hidalgo, Pagaspas, Cale, Sala and Balele. About
1.2 hectares each from those Barangays where allocated for the said purpose.
However, within the span of 10-year planning period, no socialized housing project
initiated by neither the national nor the city government has been implemented.

In order to support the realization of inclusive development and decongestion of

the National Capital Region, the national government will revive and rehabilitate
the existing Philippine National Rail Way from the Province of Tarlac to the
Province of Sorsogon. The proposed North South Rail Project will branch from
 40
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

Calamba to Batangas City, thus, will traverse Tanauan rail road section, passing
through the Barangays of Poblacion 4,5,7, and Darasa. The said project of the
National Government will commence by 2017 and expect to be operational by
2021. At present, there are informal settlers living within the 30-meter wide Road
Right of Way (ROW) of the PNR. This development requires the city government
to identify the relocation site for socialized housing project intended for families
who will be affected, prior to the project implementation.

As of the latest census there are 1,781 families that will be affected and needs to
be relocated. With a density of 100 housing units per hectare, the land area
requirement will be eighteen (18) hectares. An additional two (2) hectares shall be
added as reserve for other requirement of the communities such as school and
religious institutions, thus, the total land area required for socialized housing will
be twenty (20) hectares.

2.13.3 Industrial Zones (IZ)

Barangays Laurel, Ulango, Pantay Bata, Pantay Matanda and Pagaspas are under
Industrial Zones (IZ). The current/actual land area being utilized for industrial use
is approximately 345.48 hectares.

2.13.4 Agricultural Zones (AGZ)

The Agricultural Zones contain productive and fertile lands and currently serve as
croplands and sites for livestock and poultry production. These are areas classified
under the Strategic Agricultural and Fisheries Development Zone (SAFDZ). The
total land area of Tanauan intended for Agricultural Zone is 8,791.63 hectares.

2.13.5 Rural Built-up Zone (RBZ)

 41
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

The designated Rural Built-up Zones (RBZ) are areas in the barangays located
within 200 meters from the center of the road and 100meters from the center of
sitio [farm to market road]. In the early days prior to the enactment of the City’s
Zoning Ordinance, road side areas are most preferred by Tanaueños to build their
houses due to accessibility. This makes these residential areas complimentary in
setting up their businesses. Permits and clearances issued indicate that in these
areas the land use rapidly changed from agricultural to other uses.

The built-up areas of 1,693.6 hectares constitute the rural built-up areas distributed
among the thirty-nine (39) Barangays outside Poblacion. These are clusters of at
least ten (10) structures or any activity occupying a sizeable land area in every
Barangay. The structure includes residential, institutional, commercial, cemeteries
and recreational. The average rural built-up area per barangay is about 43.43
hectares. These areas are estimated to be within a radius of 500 meters from the
barangay hall, chapel, school or basketball court. With a linear pattern of
development, built-up areas extended about 100 meters on both sides of all
existing roads whether national, provincial, municipal and barangay.

2.13.6 Urban Expansion Zone (UEZ)

Urban Expansion Zones (UEZ) are areas on both sides of the National Road
extending about 500 meters from the center of the road. Areas on both sides of
highways connecting Tanauan to Talisay and Tanauan to Malvar that fall within
500 meters from the center of these highways are classified as UEZ. Land area
on both sides of the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR) covering Sto. Tomas
to Malvar boundaries within 1 kilometer from the center of the road are likewise
designated as UEZ.

Likewise, Jose P. Laurel Highway which is part of Manila – Batangas Road is the
first major access road in the City linking Tanauan City to Manila, Lipa, Batangas
City and to other center of commerce and trade. The geographic and topographic
setting made the area along the J.P. Laurel highway the recipient of urban
 42
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

development. In Barangay Darasa, with its proximity to the town proper and where
J.P. Laurel Highway passes through, land that was formerly utilized for livestock
and agricultural activities were transformed into residential subdivisions. Rapid
development of the area is attributed primarily to its accessibility, characteristics
and features suitable for housing development. It is also the safest barangay for
residential based on sieve mapping.

2.13.7 Eco-Tourism Zone (ETZ)

The six coastal Barangays along Taal Lake: Ambulong, Banadero, Gonzalez,
Wawa, Boot and Maria Paz are designated as Eco- Tourism Zone. These
Barangays are part of Taal Volcano Protected Landscape (TVPL), proclaimed by
President Fidel V. Ramos by virtue of Presidential Proclamation 923, as part of the
National Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS

2.13.8 Residential Zone (RZ)

Residential zones are areas within the city principally for dwelling and housing
purposes. Next to agricultural zone in terms of range, Residential Zone covers
about 3,173.761 hectares. As evidenced by the increase in population, Tanauan
City is considered one of the most livable places within the region and can even be
compared with other highly urbanized cities in CALABARZON. This may be
associated with the availability of basic utilities such as water, electricity,
telecommunication services which add comfort to daily life and the ease of access
to various commercial establishments. Added to this are the job opportunities in
the city and nearby municipalities where multinational industries, locators and
investor do business.

The table below is the recent inventory of residential subdivisions in different

barangays.

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance indicated that portions
of Barangays Maria Paz and Suplang are classified as Forest Zone. The steep
slope in these areas is the basis for the zoning classification. However, there is no
available Land Classification map declaring the area as timber land. Furthermore,
areas in Barangay Suplang has been converted into high end residential

Zoning Ordinance will be returned back to agricultural use.

2.15 INFRASTRUCTURES

2.15.1 Transportation

The City of Tanauan is a gateway to Batangas City and other southern towns, cities and
provinces. As such, the quality and condition of roads, drainage system and other
transportation facilities play a very important role. Moreover, those infrastructures are very
good indicator of economic development and progress. In highly urbanized areas, skyways,
flyovers and footbridges are built because of increase in vehicular and non-vehicular traffic,
while in rural areas the demand for widened and paved roads also increases due mainly to
 47
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

the same reason. Motorists always clamor for paved roads to shorten travel time and to
increase safety and travel comfort.

Tanauan City can be reached through the Manila-Batangas Road and the Southern
Tagalog Access Road (STAR). The STAR makes the city more accessible without going
through the busy streets of the neighboring towns and cities.

Local residents use jeepneys and tricycles as the basic mode of transportation to
reach the barangays of the city as well as the neighboring towns and cities. Busses are
used to travel from the city to Manila and Batabgas City.

Traffic conditions are basically light throughout the city except in the busy hours of
the day especially during the morning and afternoon before and after the office hours. There
is a traffic light installed at the Crossing of J. P. Laurel Highway and A. Mabini Avenue
making it easier to manage the traffic condition. There are also visible pedestrian lanes and
pedestrian overpass for public safety.

2.15.2 Inventory of Bridges by Location, Type, Capacity and Condition

The central business district of Tanauan is located on the easternmost part of the city, and
the Manila-Batangas national highway traversed also the eastern part of the city. The
Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR), a limited access highway was constructed parallel
to the national highway. Because of this, five (5) flyovers were constructed. There are
thirteen (13) existing bridges in the city, with an approximate total length of 471.8 linear
meters and an average width of 10 meters. Some of which are located at the city boundary
with the neighboring town of Sto. Tomas built to cross the San Juan River.

2.16 Land transportation Terminals, Public Parking and Pick-up Points

Terminals affect traffic flow and ease of circulation. Investors and consumers prepared a
commercial area with sufficient and safe space where they can leave their vehicles.
Terminals with limited capacity and improper design affect the condition of the traffic flows.
Ideal terminals, under the present condition of the city and the projected development
require separate public utility vehicle, private cars, and delivery vans.
 52
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

There are nine (9) existing jeepney terminals in the city proper. The central terminal is
located within the Philippine National Railways (PNR) property beside the Public Market.
Jeepneys parking on the said terminal are plying the route of Tanauan to various locations
such as Calamba, San Pablo, Sampaloc, Malaking Pulo, and Luyos. Another terminal is
located in Barangay Sambat along STAR Tollway which caters the jeepneys plying route of
Talisay and Laurel. Other terminal is located beside the public market and railroad alley.

The present condition of the terminal is not in harmony with the development plan of the
commercial business district. There are no permanent lots and structures allotted for that
purpose. The City government even uses the roads and property of the PNR. It is to be
noted that all the terminals and parking area surround the public market, the present center
of commercial activities of the city.

The Public Market Redevelopment project, under the Design Build-Transfer-Operate

(DBTO) scheme comprising more than two (2) hectares of land, is now being implemented.
The conceptual and detail design of which devoted the entire third floor of the building for
parking space and terminal. When it becomes operational, traffic flow on the area will
improve, thus, the commercial area will be more attractive and competitive.

The transfer of the New City Hall in Barangay Natatas, the incoming development plans like
the Tanauan City Zentrum, and the expansion of residential, commercial, and industrial
development in the area require a state-of-the-art terminal, should the plans become reality.

2.17 PARKING ZONES

There are parking zones situated in privately-owned lands. One of the pay parking zones is
located near the Tanauan Shopper’s Mart and another near Public Market, but still these
pay parking areas cannot accommodate the large number of vehicles in Tanauan City.

It is to be noted that locational clearance and building permit were issued in the past without
considering parking requirement. Nowadays, in conformance with the provisions stipulated
in the building code and zoning ordinance of the city, parking requirement is strictly imposed
prior the issuance of locational clearance and building permit.

2.18 Power

2.18.1 Electricity Provider

Batangas Electric Cooperative (BATELEC)

Electric power supply in the City of Tanauan is generally being provided by Batangas
Electric Cooperative II (BATELEC II) since 1980. They outsource their power supply from
the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). The total number of households
and commercial establishments being served by BATELEC II is 36,684 as of 2014 in the 48
barangays of Tanauan. It has four (4) substations located at Poblacion and Barangay
Talaga in Tanauan City, one in Municipality of Malvar and another in Municipality of Laurel.

2.19 Water

The source of water supply of Tanauan City comes dominantly from underground water.
Surface water such as rivers and falls has not been tapped as water supply source for
distribution to the public. Storage of rain water that used to be the practice of rural folks
when water distribution was not yet connected to the household lost its popularity and is
now rarely seen in the rural areas.

Underground water requires less treatment processes, only chlorination is being conducted
by the Water Utility Distributors before water is supplied to the public. Storage of rain water
requires land and infrastructure facilities that suit its purpose. It also requires additional
water treatment. However, over-drowning of underground water possess danger to the
environment. As of now, there is no study conducted to measure underground water, and
rate of recharge relative to the present development and situation. Hence, water utility
 54
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

providers should plan alternative source of water, to compensate water shortage in the near
future.

The water supply for domestic, commercial and small industries within the jurisdiction of
Tanauan City are provided by different water service providers, the biggest of which is the
Tanauan Water District (TWD) that serves Poblacion 1-7 area and different rural barangays
of the city. There are 21 Waterworks as provided in table below which operates and supply
potable water to the household in different barangays.

Tanauan Water District (TWD) is the major organized water utility company in the city of
Tanauan, Batangas. TWD was created by virtue of Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No.52
of Tanauan in 1987 and in accordance with the provisions of Presidential Decree(PD) 198
or “The Provincial Water Utilities Act of 1973”. Upon obtaining the Conditional Certificate of
Conformance (CCC) No.333 from the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) on March
8,1988, TWD was established and started operations on May 1,1988.

As of December 31,2015, TWD has 15,650 active service connections, 79 motorized

pumping stations and employs 78 regular and casual employees. Its management team, all
of whom are career service professionals, is composed of the General Manager and four
(4) managers handling the Commercial, Engineering, Administrative and Finance divisions.
TWD`s policy-making body, its Board of Directors (BOD), is composed of five (5) members,
each of whom represents the Business, Civic, Professional, Education and Women`s
sectors, and meets at least twice a month.

Tanauan Water District is the sole provider of sustainable potable water and waste water
treatment services in the City of Tanauan.Tanauan Water District remains an active partner
with the City of Tanauan in driving inclusive growth by realizing its vision through its
dedicated board of directors, competent management team, and motivated and skilled
workforce which adopts continuous improvement in sustaining operation that enjoins
stakeholders.
 55
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

2.20 Solid Waste Management

The LGU has a private garbage hauler which is NLC Garbage Services with business
address at Barangay Poblacion 1, Tanauan City. They have been hauling the city’s garbage
since the start of year 2014. As mentioned in the previous section, the private hauler only
collects segregated waste. Non-biodegradable wastes are being brought directly to the
Sanitary Landfill at Calamba City (Suri Waste Management and Disposal Services).
Biodegradable wastes are being brought to the City’s Material Recovery Facility at
Barangay Bilog-bilog for shredding. The LGU-owned trucks haul the biodegradable wastes
from the Public Market and subdivisions.

The contract of NLC Garbage Services only covers thirteen (13) barangays, namely,
Poblacion 1-7, Sambat, Darasa, Trapiche, Pagaspas and Natatas.

2.21 Other Existing and Proposed Infrastructure

To boost the livability, competitiveness and economic vitality of the city, the following
infrastructure projects were prioritized by the city:

2.21.1New City Hall Building with Public Park

The City Government of Tanauan has identified a land located at the “Laurel Hills” of
Barangay Natatas, with an estimated area of about four (4) hectares. The site of the New
Administration Building is about 100 meters from the Tanauan Exit of the Southern Tagalog
Arterial Road (STAR Tollway), three (3) kilometers from the present location of the City Hall
and is very accessible to the City’s constituents via the Tanauan-Talisay-Tagaytay Road.
 56
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

The New Administration Building is a three (3)-storey structure with roof deck and an
approximate floor area of 9,500 square meters. The building will accommodate the 30
different departments of the City or an office space for the current 1,484 city employees.

Complementing the New City Hall will be a Public Park that will be developed within the 4-
hectare land. The park shall be designed to incorporate the natural topography of the area
with minimal effects on the existing plants and wildlife. It will also feature an activity area,
paved trails, sheds, sufficient lighting and other wellness facilities.

The New City Hall is envisioned to be a modern, people-friendly and high-tech building while
the public parks will be a well-groomed aesthetically designed amusement area.

2.21.2 Tanauan City Public Market Redevelopment Project

The Tanauan City Public Market Redevelopment Project (TCPMRP) under a Public-Private-
Partnership (PPP) modality is one of the priority projects of Tanauan City. The
redevelopment and modernization of the Tanauan Public Market will address the
inadequate structures and facilities offered by the existing public market.

The Project aims to modernize and improve the structures and facilities of the Tanauan City
Public Market and its surrounding areas. It will envision to redevelop the Tanauan City
Public Market into a state of the art commercial facility with a wet and dry market component,
transport terminal through Design- Build-Transfer-Operate (DBTO) Scheme.

The TCPMRP will address the traffic congestion in the city because of the inclusion of a
multi-level parking facility which will provide ample parking spaces for consumers and
market vendors. The project also aims to provide amenities lacking in the existing Tanauan
Market such as wastewater treatment plant, solid waste processing facilities, cold storage
facilities, delivery area and others.
 57
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

2.21.3 Triple “AAA” Slaughterhouse

The proposed location of the AAA Slaughterhouse is at Barangay Sambat, approximately

1.3 kilometers away from banking facilities which are mainly situated in the Poblacion Area
or Urban Core of the city.

There is no existing Halal Slaughter House in Luzon and Visayas despite the high demand
for Halal meat and meat products among our Muslim brothers and sisters. The Local
Government Unit (LGU) is supportive of the establishment of a Halal Slaughter House to
address this situation. To start with, the Office of the City Mayor created the Tanauan Muslim
Consultative Council. This council is expected to monitor the project.

The objectives for the establishment of Halal Certified Slaughter House are the following:

1.) To realize the objectives of the standing MOU between the National
Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) and the City Government of
Tanauan on the establishment of such slaughterhouse,
2.) To posit Tanauan City as a major source of HALAL meat and meat
products,
3.) To fill the gap in the demand for credible HALAL meat and meat products
(especially from un-stunned animals,)
4.) To provide access to HALAL Slaughterhouse thereby discouraging the
prevailing practice of backyard slaughtering,
5.) To generate additional revenues for the LGU,
6.) To generate employment for Muslim constituents in Tanauan City,

2.21.4 New Road Openings

Aside from providing a convenient, safe, fast and economical travel to all users, opening of
new roads will likewise ease traffic congestion in major city roads in the Poblacion. The
 58
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

proposed road openings include Santor-Balele Road, Malaking Pulo-Ulango Road, Pantay
Bata-Cale Road. The completion of Sitio Balon Road in Barangay Natatas and Barangays
in the South-Western portion (Bagbag, Mabini, Tinurik and Bagumbayan) makes the South-
East portion (Maria Paz, Wawa, Boot, Balele and Natatas) more accessible without passing
the city proper roads. The proposed opening of the Santor-Natatas-Balele Road will connect
the said Barangays of the City, situated on the western portion of the South Luzon
Expressway (SLEX), without passing thru the Poblacion roads, and to the Municipality of
Talisay, Sto. Tomas and City of Calamba.

2.21.5 Construction of Service Road parallel to Southern Tagalog Arterial Road

(STAR Tollway)

The Southern Tagalog Arterial Road also known as the Star Tollway or the CALABARZON
Expressway is a 42- km. expressway. It starts at the intersection with Maharlika Highway
and the South Luzon Expressway in Sto. Tomas and runs southward passing through
Malvar, Tanauan City, Lipa City, Ibaan and Batangas City.

Since its opening in 2001, it has played a major role in the decongestion of Tanauan City’s
traffic condition particularly beneficial to the commuters coming from barangays in the
northwestern part of the city, wherein they no longer have to pass through the city proper
when going to the north (Calamba) or the east and south.

Thus, the opening/expansion of both sides of the Star Tollway is recommended for the
following reasons:

 To offer an advanced measure to avoid traffic congestion particularly taking into

consideration the construction of the central business district.
 To pose an alternative avenue in order to maintain if not surpass the existing
efficiency of the traffic management scheme.
 To increase mobility of people, products and services in general aspects of daily life.
 To encourage investors and generate more employment opportunities
 59
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

 To exercise dynamism in terms of capital investment

2.21.6 The Proposed Comprehensive Transportation and Traffic Management

Plan for Tanauan City

With the rapidly growing economic development due to presence of industrial parks and its
proximity to Metro Manila and accessibility via Star Tollway, traffic congestion is among the
challenges brought by urban growth which compromise the city’s productivity and efficiency.
The preparation of a Comprehensive Transportation and Traffic Management Plan for
Tanauan City will address the following concerns:

1. Transporting people and goods/services within and outside the city and rationalize public
transport services addressing the increasing demands versus supplies.

2. Mobility needs in the proposed new Central Business District (CBD).

3. Medium-term and Long-term infrastructure development programs of the

city that will have significant effect or impact on traffic:
a) Relocation of New City Hall to the west of STAR Tollway (New Central
Business District
b) Modernization and Redevelopment of the Tanauan City Public Market
c) Construction of AAA Slaughterhouse at Barangay Sambat (near STAR Tollway
Exit)
d) Proposed Central Parking Transport Terminal
e) Establishment of new trading post at barangay Sambat.
f) Sports Complex
g) Halal Compliant Slaughterhouse
h) Ambulong Proposed Road (Circumferential Road, 10 m.)
i) Service Road from Pantay Matanda to Tinurik
j) Sambat to Bagumbayan Road (10m)
 60
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

k) Road Widening

Therefore, a need to formulate a comprehensive transportation and traffic management plan

to alleviate the impacts of development, mitigate congestion in the city and rationalize the
city’s public transport system is a must.

Objectives are the following:

1. Assess the existing traffic conditions in the study area through compilation of primary
and secondary data.

2. Design an efficient traffic circulation plan to ensure smooth, safe and environment-
friendly vehicular and pedestrian flow.

3. Identify traffic management measures and alternatives appropriate for the city to
alleviate traffic congestion.

4. Evaluate the traffic and transport impacts of the proposed relocation of City Hall in
order to address issues pertaining to accessibility, traffic circulation and other
concerns pertaining to the plan.

5. Develop a road network and transport development that will ensure the connectivity
of the new Central Business District with the rest of the city

6. Recommend policy directions to sustain programs for the short, medium and long-
term plans in consideration to the relevant plans of the nearby cities/regions.

7. Identify the needed institutional structures and mechanisms that will ensure effective
traffic management and enforcement though a review of national best practices and
customizing these to suit local needs.
 61
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

8. Draft recommendations for revising the current traffic code incorporating the policies
and measures identified.

 Construction of Tanauan City Senior High School with Sports Complex

Apparently, the construction of this facility will decrease the need for additional classrooms
for the Senior High School. Moreover, the proposed project is deemed to have a substantial
economic impact. It is an advanced knowledge that the Sports Complex will inject spending
in the local economy through fan support (tickets and other product revenue). It is also
apparent that this will bring about generation of additional jobs and tax revenue.

Additionally, this will have a qualitative impact on the people’s way of life as engaging into
sports develops sportsmanship and happiness in general.

 Establishment of Landfill

This project will address the perennial waste problem in the City of Tanauan for the efficient
and effective management and disposal of wastes.

 Construction of Evacuation Center

The proposed Tanauan City Evacuation Center will be located at Sambat. This will be
funded by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

 Construction of Central Parking Terminal along Star Tollway

Other proposed projects which are expected to create a positive impact on the lives of
Tanaueños include Renovation of the old Legislative Building into Tanauan City Hospital,
 62

2017-2025

Establishment of GAD Resource Center, Redevelopment of Public Cemetery and

Resettlement of Informal Settlers.

2.22 INCOME AND POVERTY INCIDENCE

Based on the Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) 2014 results, Tanauan City
has 9019 households with income below poverty threshold. This gives a proportion of
27.89% compared to the total household population which is 32,342. The same year survey
shows a proportion of 11.8% unemployment versus the total labor force population. This is
higher than the incidence of unemployment in the year 2008 and 2011

 63
TANAUAN CITY SHELTER PLAN
2017-2025

Comparatively, there is an increasing percentage of households below poverty threshold

from the year 2005 to 2014. Apart from the rise in unemployment rate, this could be
associated with the influx of migrants in the city who are hired by planters to work in
sugarcane plantations. These workers usually come together with their families and build
makeshift housing without access to sanitary toilets. Thus, these families add to the number
of households below poverty threshold.

2.23 Employment

The labor force comprises about 38.15% of the total population, as per survey, CBMS 2014.
Out of the 56,848 populaces of the labor force, 88.18% are employed. This indicate that the
city has available pool of professional and skilled manpower resources. In support is the
highest number of employment in the private businesses/establishments as indicated in the
table below.

As of 2014, there are two Industrial Parks located in the City of Tanauan, occupying a total
of 286 hectares of land. Almost all these industrial lands are located at the First Philippine
Industrial Park (FPIP) and Philtown Industrial Park. In these industrial sites are the various
locators which provide employment for the professionals and skilled manpower resources
of the city.

In addition, there is a precast plant “Data Land Inc.”, an industrial establishment situated at
Barangay Santor. Aside from the industrial establishments located at FPIP and PhilTown,
there is also an agro-industrial establishment which is the B-MEG Feed Mill located at
Barangay Darasa. Moreover, there are also industries categorized as garment industries
namely Vine Dresser and S.J. Gem located at Barangay Natatas and Barangay Janopol
Oriental respectively.

Table shows figures of the local government income for the Budget Year 2012-2016.
Evidently, there is a continuous increase in the income of the city government from the year
2012-2013, the greater contributory item in the increase in most years is the collection from
taxpayers. This is a good manifestation of effective tax collection system being adopted by
the LGU. Moreover, this signifies the rise in the number of investors in the city. However,
2014 the realized income decreased by 28.15% equivalent to Php221,020,214.89 in
amount. This could be explained by the decrease in collection from real property tax as an
effect of the disaster (Typhoon Glenda) which distressed the constituents and their earnings
on that year. Also, the City Treasury Office described the decrease in income as an effect
on the rise in numbers of uncollected taxes which were paid in the year 2013.

ASSESSMENT OF SHELTER NEEDS

3.1 Current Housing Situation

3.1.1 The base year is 2014. We utilize the CBMS Population data in projecting
the population throughout the 9-year planning period.

3.1.2 Average annual population growth rate between 2014 to 2018 is 2.7%. It
was also noted that barangay Darasa has the biggest population of 13,175
and Barangay Santol, an urban barangay has the smallest population of
516.

3.1.3 Household size will remain the same at five (5) throughout the 9-year
period.

3.1.4 Majority of informal settlers in Tanauan City can be found along the
riverbanks of Poblacion Barangay 1, 2 and 3 and along the Philippine
National Railroad (PNR).

The basic data assumption on the table above shows the basic data needed for the following
assessment of shelter needs. The base data shows the population as determined from
CBMS 2014 which is 148, 981. Likewise, the annual population growth rate will be projected
using the 2.7% annual population growth based on 2014 CBMS. The households dwelling
unit is the average number of households per dwelling unit in the City of Tanauan. Due to
absence of recent data about the number of housing units in the city, the planners opted to
use the 1.085% as household/dwelling unit, based on the shelter plan of 2010. The
households size remains at 5 and it is presumed that there are no homeless households in
the city, as per CBMS 2014. The displacement units are those households determined as
informal settlers and those living in makeshift housing, along the danger zones.

Total 5,757

The new units needed due to population growth is determined using the projected
households at the end of the planning period minus the number of households at the
beginning of the planning period. Example, the projected households by year 2019 is
34, 042 minus the number of households for the year 2017 which is 32, 275. This will give
a difference of 1767. This figure will be divided by 3 to get the annual households needed
every year in the first planning period. Same formula is applied for the.2 nd and 3rd planning
period. The units needed due to population growth by the end of the planning period is
5,753.

The above table shows the computation for the new units needed due to backlog. It is
determined by multiplying the doubled-up households with the number of households per
 72

2017-2025

dwelling unit. The new units needed due to backlog at annual rate is the total number of
doubled-up divided the number of years in the planning period, beginning from the 2nd
planning period.

The displaced unit is the number of beneficiaries identified for this shelter plan. This is
divided by the number of years in the planning period to get the number of units for
displacement per annum.

Present Upgrading Needs

About thirty-three percent (33%) of housing in the city is considered to have

inadequate security of tenure on the land they occupy. These households may be
relocated or not depending on the land use of the area or possibly giving financial
assistance to own the lot.

As regards to the infrastructure needs, like electricity, water supply, sanitation,

drainage system, access road and garbage collection, upgrading is necessary to eliminate
or gradually lessen the percentage of inadequacy.

Improvement of housing structure is also needed to the 1.96% of housing stock in

the city. Various housing agencies and non-government organizations can be tapped in this
endeavor.
 74

CHAPTER IV

ASSESSMENT OF AFFORDABILITY

4.1 Affordability of Households for Housing

In determining the affordability of housing of the target beneficiaries, the

planners categorized them into five (5) income groups. The following assumptions
are drawn in assigning the income groupings:

The 1st income group are the group composed mainly of Class 1 with a
monthly household income of about Php3,000 and below.

The 2nd income group are those Class II with a monthly household of Php
3,001 to Php5,999.00.

The 3rd income group are the Class III with monthly income ranging from
Php6,000.00 to 9,999.

The 4th income group are mainly composed to Class IV with monthly
household income ranging from Php10,000 to Php14,999

The 5th income group are the Class V with a monthly household income over
Php15,000 and above.

The table above shows that 9,267 new housing units due to backlog and
displacement are needed for the 9-year planning period. Majority of 45% of the
household belongs to the first income group. The second income group needs 5%,
the third needs 16%, the fourth needs 29% and the fifth income group needs 5% of
the total number of housing units.

Total .7435

Land Availability. At present there is an available .7435 hectares of land owned by the
city government situated in Barangay Pagaspas, Tanauan City. The local government
unit pre-determined this area as the resettlement site for the displaced housing in effect
of the North-South-Railway Project, those living in the danger zones along San Juan River
and identified informal settlers in various barangays. However, the figure of the identified
beneficiaries requires about 20 hectares of land, considering the standard of 100 units
per 1 hectare of land. Accordingly, the considerable design would be multi-level housing.

Moreover, the City Government of Tanauan thru the Zoning Division proposes that the
20% allotment for economic housing of subdivision developers, in accordance to RA7279,
be implemented to augment the need for housing facilities for the identified beneficiaries.
The Program shall include a system to be specified in the Framework Plan whereby
developers of proposed subdivision projects shall be required to develop an area for
socialized housing equivalent to at least 20% of the total subdivision area or total
subdivision project cost, at the option of the developer, within the same city or
municipality, whenever feasible, and in accordance with standards set by the Housing
and Land Use Regulatory Board and other existing laws. Likewise, the balanced housing
as required may also be complied with by the developers thru (a) development of new
settlements (b) slum upgrading or renewal of areas for priority development either thru
zonal improvement programs or slum improvement and resettlement programs (c) joint
venture projects with either the local government units or any of the housing agencies or

Land Requirements as to Availability. To cope with the housing need for the planning
period, the city needs to acquire 19.5 hectares of land for housing as shown in the above
table.

Provision of Basic Services

Infrastructure Provisions. With the presence of service provider like BATELEC II and
the Batangas City Water District, two of the basic services which are water supply and
electricity can be easily provided. Each unit will be provided by an individual septic tank.
As regards to garbage collection, the city will consider the proposed housing areas in its
scheduled collection of solid waste. The roads and drainage requirements for the housing
project shall be considered in the early stage of development.
