The researcher used the descriptive method as it is the most appropriate design
to use.
Qualitative approach was used to present necessary information from the data
gathered through interviews, government and public documents review, online materials
review, owner’s subject documents review, existing statistics, pictures and site
observations.
Library
The Batangas State University’s Foster Wheeler Library at Alangilan served as
one of the proponent’s place for research. With the use of the library, the proponent
gained insights and ideas regarding her proposal. Books, magazines, and papers are
also used in order to strain through the complete survey of the project piece.
Actual and Site Investigations
By making out the ocular survey, the proponent was able to pinpoint and
enumerate the essential things needed to carry out the proposal. It also injected new
ideas that paved way for the formulation of solutions and elimination of unnecessary
strategy.
International Network (Internet) Research
Through the use of internet resources, the proponent gathered information, facts,
and important details about the project proposal.
Government Sectors
Visiting a number of different sectors not only added substantial data but also
pitched in feasible strategies that the proponent can apply in the whole process of the
36 | P a g e
study. Some of the proponent’s data sources which are retrieved from Kawit, Cavite are
as follows:

Table 1.0 Data Sources
As stated information in Table 1: Data Sources, the researcher has gone to the
Local Government Unit (LGU) that has the jurisdiction of the site. The general
information that the researcher has gathered primarily came from the data and
information provided by the City Planning and Development Office, City Registry of
Deeds and City Assessor Office in Kawit, Municipal Hall. Library Research, other
resources and related information like internet and books and actual inspection in the
37 | P a g e
place have given the researcher enough information to provide necessary data in the
proposal.
Analysis and Synthesis
The researcher used different relevant methods for the completion of this study.
Every acquired data is essential for the proper analysis and feasibility of the study.
Plans and principles are all from comprehensive sets of data. Conducting theses
and dissertations benefits next researchers that will make a similar study. All
researchers aim to solve a current particular problem in each generation. Library stores
these studies for easier access on these materials. Modern records and archives are
stored in the wide world of Internet. This is also where researchers can find updated
news for related studies. Published printed paraphernalia also did the same thing as
internet does.
Planning based on government restrictions make each project more feasible and
buildable. They set standards based on specific constitution laws that are proven to be
beneficial to every constituent. Further understanding of those laws can be achieved
through interviews of the responsible persons. Those persons will also help in the actual
investigation of the available physical components.
None of any problem will be solved without any proofs. Proper analysis of those
evidences identifies the researcher proper planning and designing of the proposed
38 | P a g e
project. The main purpose of collecting those facts is to solve a certain problem and
needs in a specific market.

Table 2.0 System of Evaluation and Rating
3.2.1.3 Site Justification
The system of evaluation rating is one of the processes which are used to know
which site is fitted for the construction of the proposed project. Through this, the
researcher is able to choose from which among the three (3) sites is fitted for the project.
Figure 14.0 Barangay Batong Dalig Site Picture
The site in Barangay Batong Dalig is along the Antero Soriano highway. The
Antero Soriano Highway also known as Centennial Road and EPZA Diversion Road is a
two- to six-lane, 21-kilometre (13 mi) highway transversing through the western coast of
Cavite. It is one of the three major highways located in the province, the others are
Aguinaldo Highway and the Governor's Drive. It is easily accessible through Binakayan
Exit of Cavitex. The site is flexible to expand for future expansions. One of its
41 | P a g e
advantages is its location. The site is suitable because of its location and zoning
according to the City Assessor of Kawit. The site has an area of 3.3339 hectares.
Figure 15.0 Barangay San Sebastian Site Picture
The site in Barangay San Sebastian is along the Antero Soriano Highway. It is
easily accessible through Binakayan Exit of Cavitex. The site is already cleared. Its
visibility to motorists along Centennial road may help attract to the future users or
customers of the proposed project. Also, there’s a body of water at the north-eastern
part of the site. This site is suitable but the other site is more advantageous. The site has
approximately 5 hectares.
Figure 16.0 Barangay Tabon I Site Picture
The site is situated in Barangay Tabon I. It is a site located along Daang Hari
Link and through Centennial Road. The site is flexible to expand for future expansions.
One of its advantages is its location. The site can be easily accessed along Cavitex

3.2.2 Site Data
3.2.2.1 Macro Site
Figure 17.0 Map of CALABARZON

Source: en.wikipedia.org
CALABARZON is one of the regions of the Philippines. It is designed as Region
IV – A and its regional center is Calamba City in Laguna. The region is composed of five
provinces, namely: Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon; the region’s name is
formed from the name of these provinces. The region is also more formally known as
Southern Tagalog Mainland.
43 | P a g e
The region is in southwestern Luzon, just south and east of Metro Manila and is
the second most densely populated region. CALABARZON and MIMAROPA were
previously combined together as Southern Tagalog, until they were separated in 2002.
Executive Order No. 246, dated October 28, 2003, designated Calamba City as
the regional center of CALABARZON. The largest city in CALABARZON Region and the
second highly urbanized city is Antipolo City. Lucena City is the first highly urbanized city
in this region.
CALABARZON is the most populated region in the Philippines, with a population
of 12, 609, 803 inhabitants.
Figure 18.0 Map of CAVITE

44 | P a g e
Cavite is part of the Philippines’ largest island, the Luzon Peninsula. Found in the
southern portion, Cavite belongs to Region IV-A or the CALABARZON region. It is
bounded by the provinces of Batangas in the south, Laguna in the east, Rizal in the
northwest, Metro Manila and Manila Bay in the north, and West Philippine Sea in the
west. Its proximity to Metro Manila gives the Province significant edge in terms of
economic development.
Political Subdivisions
The province of Cavite has well-defined political subdivisions. Considering the
rising population of the province, the addition of new legislative districts is a good move
in order to ensure the appropriate representation of the province in the congress. In the
year 2009, by virtue of RA 9727, the province was divided into seven legislative districts.
The move to increase the number of congressional representatives in Cavite aids the
province to have better representation in the national government and in effect receive
more appropriate government services and assistance.
Currently, the Province is composed of 16 municipalities and 7 cities with a total
of 829 barangays (Table 1A). The seven cities include the seat of the Provincial
Government- Trece Martires City, the defense frontier- Cavite City, the provincial
summer capital- Tagaytay City, the City of Dasmariñas under the Republic Act 9723
which was ratified last November 25, 2009 and which also happens to be a lone
legislative jurisdiction of District IV, City of Bacoor and City of Imus by virtue of RA
10160 dated February 08, 2012 and RA 10161 dated April 10, 2012, respectively, and
the newly converted City of Gen. Trias through Republic Act 10675 which was signed
into law on august 19, 2015 and ratified on December 12, 2015.
By virtue of Presidential Decree 1163, Imus is the provincial capital but the seat
of the provincial government is located at Trece Martires City.

a unique treasure for Kawit. The Aguinaldo Shrine where the Philippine
Independence was proclaimed by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, remained as the most
hallowed historical site in the country.
• The Development Thrusts of the Municipality of Kawit is “Economic-Historism”
Industry. All mandatory development projects and services enunciated in Section
46 | P a g e
17 of RA 7160 are supporting projects for the growth and development of the
Municipality of Kawit.
• In harmony to the Development Thrusts is to market. The Municipality of Kawit as
the “Historical Capital Town of the Province of Cavite”.
• Based on the development blueprint of the Province of Cavite, where the
Municipality of Kawit belongs to the circuit of First Growth Triangle Area/Corridor,
the Municipality of Kawit would become one of the New International Center for
trade, commerce and industry.
• Also, Kawit belongs to the circuit of the Second Growth Triangle Area/Corridor in
the Province of Cavite and envisioned to be the site of choice for new foreign and
local investments due to the presence of vast track of lands and option for road
expansion and arterial roads; large-scale activities for goods and services due to
presence of industrial estates.
• The actual Physical Structure of Kawit is best for a network of land and water-
based transport routes and nodes because of its geographical location and its
accessibility to Metro-Manila The opening of new regional road network:
CAVITEX-Centennial road, Daang Hari Extension, EPZA Diversion road resulted
into the influx of migrants, trade investors and land developers.
GEO-PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC
Location
Kawit is within the Province of Cavite, Region IV-A (CALABARZON), west of the
island of Luzon. It is particularly situated in the northern part of the province and is
bounded by Cavite City and Bacoor Bay in the north, City of Bacoor in the east, City of
Imus in the southeast, Municipality of Gen. Trias in the south and Municipality of
47 | P a g e
Noveleta in the west. It has a distinctive hook-shaped coastline and famous for its
Aguinaldo Shrine.
It is about 25 kilometers away southwest of Manila by land and about four (4)
kilometers south of Cavite City across Bacoor Bay. With the opening of the new road
named Cavite Expressway or CAVITEX, travel time from Manila to Kawit is now reduced
to only 20 minutes from the previous one and a half travel time.
Land Area
Kawit has a total land area of 1738.24 hectares and is considered an urban area.
As earlier estimated in that Kawit CLUP 1989-1999, the municipality of Kawit was to
cover an area of 1561.33 hectares. After a study and further evaluation in the Year 2009,
its land area has been learned to increase to 1738.24 has. The newly registered
reclamation area on the shoreline of Barangay Binakayan-Kanluran accounted for the
increase’s largest portion. The marshy land in the name of The Municipality of Kawit
alone covers 102 has. more or less. The addition of newly titled parcels of privately
owned shoreline lots in different barangays complement the increase. Other factors that
contributed to the increase are the following:
a. Additional parcels of land or those lots categorized under the Kawit
Cadastre 203-D Extension (approved September 1992) as “New Lots”;
b. A recent inventory of all unaccounted municipal and barangay roads;
c. Newly registered or recently titled and newly declared (for realty taxation
purposes) parcels of land;
d. Newly discovered portions of previously registered/declared lots, as
recently/officially surveyed

Demography
Kawit is composed of 23 Barangays. It is both an inland and coastal
municipality. Per Year 2015 Census of Population, the Municipality of Kawit has a total
population of 83,466 which account for 2.23% participation rate of Kawit to the Province
of Cavite. The population has been decreasing from 1990 indicating that other areas in
Cavite have been urbanizing more than Kawit.
There are 8 barangays along Binakayan Area which are thickly populated.
These are: Binakayan-Manggahan-Lawin, Binakayan-Pulvorista, Binakayan-Congbalay-
Legaspi, Binakayan-Aplaya, Binakayan-Samala Marquez, Binakayan- Bisita Balsahan,
Binakayan-Tramo Bantayan, Binakayan-Kanluran Lola Neneng which consists of
33.94% of the total population of Kawit. Aside from the barangays located in Binakayan
Area, the most populous barangay as of 2015 NSO Census of Population is Brgy.
Toclong. This is primarily due to the increase of dwellers in the newly opened
subdivisions. Based on the land area distribution, Toclong has the largest area and
since most of it was an undeveloped agricultural area, it has been attractive to real
estate developers. As of today, Toclong has a total of 10 subdivisions and this includes
the Municipal Housing Project. The significant contribution of Binakayan Area,
Panamitan, Tabon I, Putol and Sta. Isabel to the total population of Kawit may be
attributed to the concentration of various commercial establishments, major institutions
and the public market in these areas. These: barangays are also traversed by the two
(2) major thoroughfare of Kawit, the Tirona Highway and Centennial Road upon which
public transport vehicles journey daily.

Corporation – a wholly owned subsidiary of Coastal Road Corporation which extends the
existing 6.45 kms. Coastal Road from Zapote in Las Pinas City to Tirona Highway in
Kawit, Cavite which absolutely shorten the travel time from Manila to Cavite.
NATURAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Topography
The topography and slope of Kawit is generally flat. The nature of the topography
is due to the fact that Kawit is a coastal municipality where the average land elevation is
just over a meter above sea level.
Soil Characterization / Composition
55 | P a g e
• HYDROSOIL – This type of soil is found in the particular portion of Binakayan
near the coast and in the southern portion of Marulas. This type of soil is
described as sandy in texture with small amount of clay and organic matter. The
soil generally consists of submerged elements of the swamps, marine ponds, salt
beds of the Bacoor Bay and vicinity. The texture of the sub-aqueous horizons
ranges from sand to sandy clay.
• QUINGUA FINE SANDY LOAM – This type of soil is found on the northwest
portion of Kawit particularly in the Barangays of Sta. Isabel, Wakas II and
Magdalo. The soil is typically a river deposit of sandy material. The depth of the
surface soil varies according to the level of the river flood terrace. Usually it
ranges from light brown to pale brown. This type of soil is most suitable for
vegetable growing, particularly tomatoes, beans, cowpeas, and mangoes.
• GUADALUPE SOIL – This type of soil is found in the majority of the Municipality
such as San Sebastian, BatongDalig, Tabon I, II, and III, Panamitan, Gahak,
Wakas I, Poblacion, Kaingen and part of Binakayan. The Guadalupe clay is part
of Guadalupe series, which is the continuation of the series established in Rizal
province. The Guadalupe soil is underlain by volcanic materials of various
degrees of disintegration and weathering. The depth of the surface soil ranges
from 20 to 30 centimeters. It is very dark brown to nearly black coarse granular
when dry. For this type of soil, the undisturbed soil is hard and compact, and
breaks and cracks easily, rendering cultivation quite difficult. However, this soil
gives minimum yield of lowland rice due to lack of moisture in the substratum.
Rice plants can suffer badly during drought condition.
56 | P a g e
• OBANDO SAND – This type of soil is found in the northeastern portion of
Binakayan. The soil is sandy loam in nature and is suitable for vegetable
growing.
As for the geologic characteristics, the entire Municipality is alluvium in nature.
Fluviatile alluvium is made up of transported rock weathering products and
unconsolidated volcanic detritus. It occurs as old and new beach sands and silt deposits
which normally contains clay and gravely tenses. The formational geologic boundary
covers the outskirt of Kawit. There are no existing major faults in the province. Please
see Figure 3.1d for the Soil Map.
HYDROGEOLOGIC FEATURES
Climate
Kawit is categorized under the Type 1 of climate classification where there are
distinct wet and dry season. Rainy months are generally observed from the months of
May through October with August as the peak rainy month with an average rainfall of
313 mm. The rest of the months of the year are considered dry season. (Source –
PAGASA, Sangley Point Field Office, 2009)
Normal monthly temperature ranges from 24.0 to 31.5 degrees Centigrade. The
coolest month is January while the warmest is May. Records of relative humidity shows
the mean monthly relative humidity ranges from 70 to 82 percent.
57 | P a g e
The prevailing wind is the east southeast (ESE) direction occurring during the
months of February through May and October. The average wind speed is two (2) miles
per hour.
Geographically located on the northern part of the island province of Cavite, the
municipality is vulnerable to several types of natural hazards, stormy and monsoon
winds and heavy rains, storm surges brought about by typhoons that pass along
Southern Luzon regions. Based on historical records, 8-12 typhoons per year passed the
region. The seven (7) shoreline barangays are susceptible to storm surges and
southwest monsoons while the rest of the barangays are subject to stormy winds and
heavy rains, triggering soil erosions, flooded rivers and tributaries. Significant and
devastating weather disturbances that struck this locality are as follows:
Milenyo - Sept. 28-29, 2006 - 140-180 kph
Reming - Nov. 30-Dec. 01, 2006 - 250 kph
Frank - June 21-22, 2008 - 100 kph
Ondoy - September 2009 - 140 kph
Lately however, torrential southwest monsoon (habagat) rains have inundated almost all
barangays of Kawit as in the case of the southwest monsoon rains as intensified by
Typhoon Storm Maring in August 19-21, 2013 making disaster risk management a
pressing issue for the municipality.
WATER RESOURCES
Kawit’s territorial waters covering 612.2814 hectares as part of the Bay is the
major source of saltwater replenished by the South China Sea that generally supported
fishpond and fish pen operators.

Fish pen owners are held back to further engage in the aquaculture business due
to the unsettled boundary dispute between Kawit and Noveleta. This has been
aggravated by the decreasing quality of these waters, after being silted by flashflood
waters from the mainland.
These waters are the site of an expanding coastal road projects – the CAVITEX;
R-1 Extension; and the Kawit - Noveleta Coastal Road.
The municipality is cut by two (2) major rivers namely Ilang Ilang River on the
eastside and Imus River on the west side. There exist 5 tributary rivers in the
municipality namely Marulas River, Panamitan River, Santoyong, Taguilid and Malamok
Rivers.
Existing Land Uses
The municipality has categorized its total land area into ten (10) uses namely –
Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure/Utilities, Institutional,
Parks/Playgrounds and Recreational Spaces, Cemetery, Waste Management, Tourism

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION
Location / Distribution / Condition of Mangroves
60 | P a g e
Mangrove trees function as natural barriers lessening coastal earth erosion from
forceful waves and they aid in counteracting carbon dioxide profusion thereby a natural
anti-global warming contributor. Mangroves forest are abundant in various coastal
barangays of the municipality namely Wakas 2, Sta. Isabel, Poblacion and Binakayan
area. The LGU in coordination with various National Government Agencies are
continuously exerting utmost effort to fully rehabilitate the mangrove forest so as to
prevent further inundation in the municipality.
Quality of rivers and marine water
Two (2) major rivers interconnect with Kawit’s river channels. The Ilang-Ilang
River to the eastside, its boundary with the municipality of Noveleta, and the Imus River
to the westside, as bordering waterway to the cities of Imus and Bacoor and the town of
Gen Trias. More often and as openly observed from Mabolo Bridge, its waters are
discolored and murky, and flowing with unimaginable heaps of garbage and floating
plastic-litters. This is the ordinary downstream flow of the Imus River with the usual
loads of trash from, other than domestic, the neighboring domains.
In general, the quality of rivers and marine water of Kawit is poor and its
resources to sustain marine life, in near “biological death.”
However, plans and programs have been introduced so as not to pose any
problem in the LGU of Kawit’s promotion of Fishing/Marine Life and Tourism industries.
Probable sources of pollution
It is a universally accepted fact, and that unalterably, surface water pollution is
generally caused by massive growth in human population.
Predominantly a residential locality, pollution in Kawit’s riverways is caused
primarily by domestic wastewater, sewer or sewerage. The high level of nutrients in
61 | P a g e
these said wastes, when in surface water, encourage the growth of algae and weed that
consume up the water’s oxygen level which is not a place for marine life to thrive.
Other surface water pollutants such as chemicals and metals are the major
contributors to the environment problem. From upland localities of the province of
Cavite in its industrial zones, countless establishments’ activities discharge or let off
untreated wastewater with toxic chemicals, metals, and solvents. All materials have
been learned to be harmful to marine life and ecosystem.
From these same upland areas, their agriculture contributes as well in polluting
the rivers, directly from or through seepage, of those toxic chemicals used in fertilizers,
pesticides, insecticides, and others.
Geographical/Environmental Hazard Areas
Flooding
An increased occurrence of above average high tide in the coastline barangays
have been observed from the years 1990 to 2000. From the normal tidal level of three
(3) up to four (4) feet, this has increased by almost two (2) feet. It was also during the
middle of the decade that saltwater intrusion has been observed. Water from artesian
wells was no longer potable due to the increasing level of salinity and unpalatable taste.
In the years 2000 up to present, there exists an abnormal climatic behavior in the
municipality. Early onset of rainy season and decreased number of rainy days were
likewise noted. Rainy season commenced a month earlier than usual starting on the
month of May. Rainfall behavior has been observed to be intense but of short duration.
More frequent surface runoff flooding and flooding aggravated by sea-level rise
were also noted in the municipality. It was also during this period that strong typhoons
62 | P a g e
hit the locality. Cited were typhoons Milenyo (2006) and Frank (2008) which caused
significant damages to life and property.
The identified major climate-change related and extreme events that occurred in
the Municipality of Kawit, are as follows:
High Tide / Sea-Level Rise
Above normal sea level rise especially during the occurrence of high tide were
observed along barangays close to the coastline of the Municipality of Kawit, namely
Poblacion, Kaingen, Wakas I and II that are directly affected by the increase in sea
levels. Some barangays located near the rivers experience occasional increase in water
levels during high tide. Tidal rise level during lunar cycle has increased through the
years and some barangays experience the water rising from the waterways, when years
before, high tide levels were unnoticeable.
Barangays Tabon I, Tabon II, Gahak, Marulas, Panamitan and Magdalo(Putol)
have recorded a maximum sea level rise of almost two (2) feet from normal high tide rise
of 3 to 4 feet in the past. Eleven (11) barangays out of 23 barangays in the Municipality
of Kawit are now feeling the impacts of higher tide level. This translates to more than
30,000 people affected comprising more than 40 percent of the total population.
This perceived climate-change related event has been observed to be occurring
for the last five (5) years or so. High tide rise has been observed almost throughout the
entire municipality and recurs every lunar cycle and usually lasts 5 to 6 hours, from time
of rising to the time of water subsidence.
Storm and Flooding
Storms in the past years were observed to have brought higher volume of water
per unit rainfall event, higher level of flood waters and frequent overflowing of rivers. In
2000, during the “centennial flood” the recorded water level ranged from 2 ft to almost 6
63 | P a g e
ft. in the low-lying areas of the municipality. In 2006, the typhoon “Milenyo” brought 3ft.
to 8 ft. of heavily silted floodwaters to almost all the 23 barangays of Kawit. And most
recently in 2013, the southwest monsoon rains intensified by Tropical Storm Maring
flooded all 23 barangays of Kawit. The combination of heavy rainfall, high tide, blockage
of the natural flow of water by infrastructure and the destruction of the Trece Crus Dam
in Tanza contributed to the unprecedented flood levels in Kawit.
Compounding the flooding events is erosion and sedimentation. Flood waters
and huge volume of rain waters coming from the upland areas caused erosion and
scouring of river walls. It has been observed also that erosion along tributaries to the
main river system contributed to large volume of soil, silt, eroded vegetation and
garbage build-up along the estuaries of the Kawit coastline. Erosion of protection mud
dikes and fishpond walls during flood events were observed hampering their operations
and productivity.
There are five (5) barangays in the municipality that are directly affected by
floods every storm season. They are all located in the lowest lying areas in Kawit and
include Barangays Kaingen, Poblacion, Wakas I and II and Magdalo (Putol). A big flood
event occurs once in a span of five (5) years.
During the occurrence of flood in these areas under low-tide conditions, flood
waters last up to eight (8) hours but during the high-tide conditions water level rises
more and lasts longer. It usually takes about 24 hours before water levels subside.
Please see figure 4.1 for the flood hazard map. Seventeen (17) barangays are highly
susceptible to flooding and six (6) barangays are moderately susceptible to flooding.
Sixteen (16) barangays have been identified as highly susceptible to tsunamis.
Saltwater Intrusion
64 | P a g e
Traditionally, Kawit’s potable water supply depended mostly on deep wells.
Deep wells were usually set-up using an average of 16-18 pieces of G.I. pipes at a
length of 20-ft. each to yield potable water. But majority of the deep wells around the
area drastically turned salty due to salt water intrusion. The community artesian wells
(shallow tube wells) also produced salty water. At present, it will take 20 pieces or more
of 20-ft. long G.I. pipes to yield potable water. This has been observed for about 6 to 8
years ago.
Ground Shaking
According to the hazard maps of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, for the province of Cavite, all 23 barangays of Kawit are moderately
susceptible to ground shaking.
Liquefaction
According to the hazard maps of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, for the province of Cavite, 17 barangays of Kawit are highly susceptible to
liquefaction and 6 barangays are moderately susceptible to liquefaction.
PHYSICAL / INFRASTRUCTURE RESOURCES
Transportation
The Municipality of Kawit has two (2) major roads that interlink to Metro Manila in
the north and into the industrial part of Cavite in the south. These are the Tirona
Highway-Highway 25 and Cavite Toll Expressway (CAVITEX) Centennial Road.
The Tirona Highway and Highway 25 are two adjoining roads which serves the
coastal part and historic center of Kawit where the previous Town Hall was constructed
besides the St Mary Magdalene Church and the Aguinaldo Shrine. It interconnects the
City of Bacoor and Noveleta from North to South. Other known establishments that
serves these roads within Kawit are Water Camp Resort, Sasahama Restaurant,
65 | P a g e
Cherry’s Pavilion, Binakayan Public Market, Bautista Arcade, Mercury Drug, Metrobank,
BPI, PS Bank, Malvar Supermarket, Emilus Supermarket, Massway Supermarket and
other fast food chains like Mang Inasal, and Jollibee etc.
The Covelandia and Cepza Roads are also two adjoining roads recently
constructed to be used as the main thoroughfare to the Industrial Zones of Cavite
(CEPZA) and the Port Area of Manila vice versa. The 30-m wide highway bypass the
farmland of the town and the coastline Binakayan which escalates a number of
commercial establishments and resort in the area namely; Sula Gas, Petron Gasoline
Station, Orange County, Phoenix Gasoline Station, Jetti Gasoline Station, Kartini Hotel,
711 Store, RCPJC Hardware, Cedz Restaurant, Tirona Hardware, Tiles Center, Island
Cove, Miquels Bar & Restaurant, Esther Robina Restaurant etc. And also, the newly
established Municipal Annex Building (New Town Hall) utilizes this road which will be the
framework to be the new center of Kawit in the near future.
To further ease the traffic problem of the Province of Cavite, a 7-kmsTollway
named CAVITE TOLL EXPRESSWAY” (CAVITEX) was built by UEM-MARA Phils.
Corporation – a wholly owned subsidiary of Coastal Road Corporation which extends the
existing 6.45 kms. Coastal Road from Zapote in Las Pinas City to Tirona Highway in
Kawit, Cavite which absolutely shorten the travel time from Manila to Cavite. This project
will be a boost to the Province of Cavite’s tourism and will definitely revolutionize the
lives of Caviteños and will allow commercial traffic to move quicker from Port Area and
NAIA to the Cavite Export Processing Zone.
Data gathered from the Engineering Office reveals that there is a total of about
35.259 kilometers of roads in the entire municipality of which 13.700 km. are national
road, 2.296 km provincial road, 0.809 km are municipal road and 18.454 are barangay
roads.
66 | P a g e
Mode of Transportation by type
Buses, jeepneys and tricycles are the main public utility vehicles in the
municipality. Transportation in going to Manila and nearby towns is by means of buses
and jeepneys. Mobility in the municipality is supported by the following existing transport
facilities such as road network, bridges and physical inventory of transport units. Other
support transport facilities are waiting stations and public parking areas while there are
no airports, seaports, cargo ports and major land transportation terminal.
POWER
The Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) is the franchise holder of the power
utility service of Kawit, Cavite. The built-up area which are concentrated in the northern
portion as well as the eastern and western boundaries which are also becoming built-up
areas respectively are provided with electricity with an aggregate length of power lines,
mostly installed along municipal and other major roads of approximately forty (40) linear
kilometers.
Considering an average consumption of 35.25 kilowatt hour per
household/month (Source: www.approtech.org 2005), the present demand of electrical
supply based on projected household for the Year 2011 which is 18,128, it is about
739,228 kilowatts - hour/month.
WATER
Facilities
67 | P a g e
Water for human consumption is being supplied by Maynilad Water System Inc.
(MWSI) and about one hundred fifty (150) public artesian wells/deep wells located
sparsely in the built-up areas as well in agricultural areas.
The MWSI water services are extended to the consumers through an aggregate
length of 18.39 linear kilometers of pipelines, mostly installed in the built-up areas in the
northern part of the municipality.
There are six (6) MWSI pumping stations serving the residents of the
municipality. Considering an average consumption of 107 liters/capita/day (residential),
the present demand of water supply, based on existing population, is about 8,556,790
liters/day or 8,556 cubic meters /day. The extent of MWSI is limited to areas installed
with the pipeline system.
Number of Household served by type of water system
Based on the Municipal Health Office record, there are 2 types of water system in
the municipality, the Level I and III. About 47.70 % and 52.30% of the total household
uses Level I and Level III respectively.
Communication Service Facilities Year 2011
The Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) and GLOBE
Telecommunications, both private firms are the franchise holder of the telephone system
in Kawit, Cavite
SPORTS AND RECREATION
Whereas, sports activities were once generally confined to the schools, the same
are now located at different barangays in Kawit. There are now inter-barangay and
inter-school tournament and sports fest being held at designated times of the year.
Track and field facilities exist in some schools. As typical young Filipinos are fond of
basketball, it will be observed that all barangays in Kawit have a basketball court, all of
68 | P a g e
which are made of concrete. Well maintained private bowling lanes and tennis courts
are available in various barangays in Kawit. Billiard tables, swimming pools provide for
other recreational activities.
TOURISM
Tourism industry is a potent resource that must be developed to the maximum. It
is one of the engines for both local and global economy. If it is explored to the fullest it
generates employment and encourages the growth of small and medium industries
which form part of the backbone of local economy.
`Tourism is an effective vehicle for cultural awareness and historical
consciousness. Kuwaitis rich historical chronicles and cultural heritage, the Municipal
Government has redirected its thrusts for tourism development by way of restoring and
preserving some of its significant tourist attractions that projects the Municipality’s’
cultural heritage and its illustrious role in the Philippine history being the cradle of the
Philippine Independence.
Existing and Potential Tourism Area
Historical landmarks all over Kawit weigh the most in current Tourists’ Arrival
quantity. Foremost is the Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine which features the vast
Freedom Park in Barangay Kaingen; seconded by the Battle of Binakayan Site in
Barangay Pulvorista-Bianakayan; and the Baldomero Aguinaldo Shrine in Bisita St.,
Binakayan. Volume of tourists is greater for students who are Philippine History
enthusiasts.
The density of Local and Foreign Tourists account for those regular visits to that
most famous cultural landmark in Kawit – The Kawit Roman Catholic Church (or the St.
Mary Magdalene Parish Church) which was built in 1817 by Spanish priests, partially
69 | P a g e
destroyed during the World War II bombings, and at the opening of the second
millennium – restored to its original greatness and grandeur.
Another prospective tourist attraction is that proposed Freedom Park Extension,
with road network as access to the original National Road up to the Kawit-Noveleta
Coastal Road Project and CAVITEX. Soon to rise on this site are leisure and
educational parks with ponds, nature-enriched environment, with memorials of Philippine
heroes stretched by the boulevard. A sure landmark that will depict Kawit as it should
and will always be – an illustrious historical spot.
DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS

Southeast Asia is the fastest growing region of E-sports. The number of
Southeast Asian E-sports Enthusiasts will grow with a Compound Annual Growth Rate
(CAGR) of +36.1% between 2015 and 2019, reaching 19.8 million. This is the fastest
growth in that period globally. In comparison, the number of Latin American E-sports
Enthusiasts will grow with a CAGR of +24.7% between 2015 and 2019, while the global
average is +19.1% for the same period. Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore,
Thailand, and Vietnam, also known as the Big 6, account for more than 98% of E-sports
Enthusiasts in the region.
Year 2016 has been a tremendous year for Southeast Asia in terms of big live
events. The ESL One Manila and the Manila Major Dota 2 tournaments were the
highlights of 2016, while ESL One Genting is coming up in January 2017. Furthermore, a
partnership between Smilegate and ESL saw the formation of the CrossFire Stars
Invitational: Manila, a world championship CrossFire event.

in year 2014, there are now 175 million as of 2017, by 2020, that number will be closer
to 300 million. In such 40% of eSports viewers don’t play the game they watched, a big
sign that eSports is a spectator sport

In 2017, E-sports economy will grow to $696 million, a year-on-year growth of
41.3%. Brands are expected to spend $517 million, broken down into $155 million on
advertising, $266 million on sponsorship, and a further $95 million on media rights.
Brand investment will double by 2020, pushing the total market to $1.5 billion. Consumer
spending this year on tickets and merchandise will amount to $64 million. Another $116
million is invested by game publishers into the e-sports industry through partnership
deals with white-label organizers. As e-sports is becoming engrained in the DNA of
successful competitive games, publishers are actively looking to grow their franchises as
spectator sports with the aim to engage their current fans, and reach new ones. Often
lacking the experience and resources to do so, publishers turn to these white-label
organizers to help them set up leagues and events around their franchises.

Brands will contribute $517 million in 2017 and brand investment will double by

Enthusiasts.

People who live stream their video game play, either by hobby or profession, are
known as streamers. The practice became popular in the mid-2010s on sites such
as Twitch and, later, YouTube. By 2014, Twitch streams had more traffic than HBO's
online service. Professional streamers often combine high-level play and entertaining
commentary, and occasionally earn income from advertising, subscriptions, and
donations. Amateur streamers spend long hours competing for an audience.
Figure 52.0 LIRIK Logo
Popular streamer Lirik makes around $216,000 a year on subscribers alone.
Professional streamer Lirik, who pulls in around 900,000 followers and 6,000
subscribers, makes over 200,000 just on twitch subscribers, not counting sponsorship,
ad revenue and outside income sources. Assuming Lirik has these other income
streams going, he may be pulling in close to a million a year.
99 | P a g e
Others can make even more, despite not doing all that much live streaming until
recently, gaming YouTuber Pewdiepie makes around four million dollars a year (though
that amount has probably dropped after recent controversies). The more family friendly
Markiplier makes around the same amount, taking into account the different tax brackets
of their respective countries. Pewdiepie makes around $4,000,000 a year. The average
professional streamer makes between $2,000 and $5,000 a month.
Of course, these massive amounts aren't common among streamers, they
represent the very top earnings in the field. For the average professional streamer, the
monthly income tends to be between $2000 and $5000 a month, and even that requires
a lot of work to be put in before it pays off. Many streamers also work close to 60 hour
weeks between streaming, promotion and other responsibilities. Spending all day
playing games like Player Unknown's Battlegrounds might seem like a cushy job to
some, but it's a lot of hard work.

Table 8.0 ESPORTS JOBS

Professional player
-These are usually signed to a particular team and will compete in different
tournaments for prize money. Wages vary, but the world's top pros can potentially
earn hundreds of thousands of pounds per annum taking into consideration their
wage, sponsorship deals and prize winnings.
-Pros usually start off in amateur or grassroots tournaments - or reach the higher
rankings within a particular game - before catching the attention of bigger teams.
Shoutcaster (aka caster)/host
-Casters are esports commentators who provide running commentary during live
matches, and usually engage in discussion before and after games. They may also be
required to interview players and other experts.
-Like football and other sports, there are generally two types of esports shoutcasters -
play-by-play casters (who provide running on-the-fly commentary) and colour casters
(who provide supplementary information or comment, usually following a noteworthy
moment in a game).
-A host will be the public face of a particular event or tournament. They will introduce
matches, may interview players after games and discuss key moments with casters
and analysts.
-Like a TV host, they will communicate with the viewers to provide an entertaining and
fun show. Hosts will usually have a strong personality and good social/communication
skills.
Analyst/coach
101 | P a g e
-Analysts are experts at taking information and using it to provide interesting stats or
learn from it, either for a particular team, tournament provider, broadcaster or game
developer. Team analysts usually work with coaches to generate strategies, analyze
strengths and weaknesses, and communicate this to the players in order to get the
best out of them.
-Coaches work closely with the players, to identify their strengths and weaknesses
and make sure they are playing at their best. They will develop strategies and analyze
opponents in order to win as many matches - and tournaments - as possible.
-Coaches may also be required to take care of day-to-day tasks in the team's gaming
house, ensure everyone is on the same page and make sure the environment is right
for the players.
Team manager/owner
-This can be an incredibly varied and hands-on - but very rewarding - role. Team
managers can be responsible of all kinds of things, from arranging player contracts,
finding new talent, motivating and instructing existing staff and players, entering
tournaments, dealing with travel and accommodation, and developing the team's
brand, strategy and partnerships.
-Other senior executives within a team or organization may look after other areas,
such as sales, partnerships and business development.
Tournament admin/referee
-Admins and referees ensure an e-sports tournament runs smoothly and that all rules
and regulations are adhered to.
-They may have to deal with player disputes, work with event and broadcast staff to
make sure everything runs on time, and organize the tournament schedule.
Content creator/journalist
-E-sports teams and other companies may hire their own content creators, who may
be required to write news, edit videos, handle copywriting, conduct interviews and
write about partnerships and sponsorships.
-Sometimes this role will cross over into social media/community management.
-Similar to a content creator, journalists usually work for a publication and their focus
will be more objective.
-Journalists will often seek out exclusive stories, conduct investigative reports or
uncover scoops. They will be required to conduct interviews, write articles, grow a
varied contact book and stick to tight deadlines. They may also be required to produce
video content and post updates on social media.
Marketing/PR executive
-Established teams and companies will usually have a separate department
responsible for public relations and marketing.
-PR executives will work with journalists and influencers to secure positive and high-
profile coverage for their brand, while marketing executives may be responsible for
maintaining a budget, placing advertisements and signings sponsorships to grow their
fan base or customer base.
-Some executives will look after both PR and marketing within their company. There
are also external PR/marketing agencies that can look after several different brands.
-Marketers and promoters can be key to the success of a particular tournament or e-
sports event.
Community/social media manager
102 | P a g e
-Community managers are responsible for looking after the fan base or customer base
of a particular game, company or team.
-They may be required to produce interesting and engaging content for the
community, track the amount of fans, handle promotions, competitions and other
initiatives, gather feedback and relay it to other teams within the company.
Sales/partnerships manager
-Like sales positions in other industries, sales in e-sports is very similar. Sales
executives or managers may be responsible for ticket sales, sponsorship agreements,
hardware sales, growing their customer base or fan base, and coming up with new
ideas to generate excitement around a brand and generate revenues.
-Sales positions are generally commission-focused, so the worker will receive a higher
paycheque depending on the amount of sales they have accumulated within a
particular month, or if they have hit a certain target.
-E-sports teams may also have their own partnership executives who are required to
establish relations with other companies and partners.
-They will work on joint projects with partners and sponsors, help generate revenues
for the team and work on initiatives designed to engage and monetize their fan base.
Agent
-E-sports agents will aim to get the possible contract and deals for their players. They
will negotiate on the player's behalf, manage partnerships and present players with
different opportunities in order to grow their stature and revenues.
-Agents will usually take a commission from any deals they strike.
Event manager/production executive
-These managers will be responsible for organizing and overseeing live or online e-
sports events.
-They may be required to develop strategies, work with different departments and
partners on content and ensure everything is in place to oversee a successful event.
Production/broadcasting
-People in the broadcast and production department at an e-sports event will be
working on a wide range of activities, from lighting and camera work, to ensuring all
the technicalities are working correctly, such as the streaming set up and any
screens/projectors/speakers, and will have to work to a set schedule.
-Video production staff may need to record additional interviews before the event and
edit them in.
-Some e-sports studios will have their own dedicated broadcast/production rooms for
staff to work.
Legal/finance
-Lawyers, legal experts, accountants and solicitors will usually help e-sports teams
and companies produce contracts, settle disputes (inside and out of the court, or
through arbitration), restructure and work on any complicated legal matters.
-Some organizations will have internal finance staff to keep on top of accounts and
manage incomings and outgoings. These areas can be well-paid but will usually
require a degree or other higher education qualification.
Other careers
103 | P a g e
-This is just an example of some of the more well-known jobs within e-sports. There
are other careers and specialist jobs that may not be mentioned here.
-Outside of e-sports, there are many other jobs in the games industry which may
crossover into e-sports, for example game developers, audio engineers, publishers
and testers.
-Outside of the E-sports space, the $100bn video games industry has a wealth of
career opportunities available.
-There are many different job roles on offer.
-From developer to publisher, sales, marketing, quality assurance and everything in-
between.
Game design
-This is arguably one of the most creative roles in the games industry. Working at a
developer can be extremely exciting and rewarding, but it can also require a lot of hard
work, especially as the team reaches 'crunch' period (finishing the game in a short
space of time, ready for its launch date).
-There are many different jobs available at a developer, from environment/character
designer to animation, sound and music, programming and more.
-As these are specialist - and competitive - roles, it can be a good idea to get a degree
in games design or computer animation.
Publishing and supplying
-Publishers are companies like EA, Activision and Ubisoft, who will invest in a game,
make sure it has a strong marketing campaign and sell it around the world.
-There are many positions available at a publisher, including various management
roles, PR, marketing, sales, HR and more. We've outlined some of those roles below.
-As well as digital downloads, publishers also work with distributors to ship games,
systems and accessories to retail stores.
Testing
-This is a typically an entry-level position in the games industry and a good way to get
your foot in the door.
-Games testers are responsible for identifying bugs and ensuring the game plays as
intended, ahead of release.
-It's a good entry point, as testers can earn promotions to become QA (quality
assurance) managers, marketers or developers.
Localisation
-Localisation is the act of translating a game into another language. It's often much
more than just that though, as publishers might want certain aspects of the game
altered slightly for different territories around the world. Artwork and slogans might
change, for example.
-Localisation companies will need to ensure the feel of the game is left intact and for
the translated words to make perfect sense in another language. There is a real art to
this role and it is not as easy as it seems.
HR/recruitment
104 | P a g e
-As there are so many jobs in the games industry, HR and recruitment is another
important field.
-An internal human resources (HR) department will often tend to employee concerns,
outline employee benefits, ensure the business is abiding by laws and standards and
handle recruitment and dismissals.
-There are also many external recruitment agencies that help companies find
employees with a particular skillset, and likewise, help job seekers find the right
business and role for them.
PR, sales & marketing
-Like many other sectors, public relations (PR), sales and marketing is very important
in the games industry.
-PR executives will work with journalists and influencers to secure positive and high-
profile coverage for their brand, while marketing executives may be responsible for
maintaining a budget, placing advertisements and growing awareness for a particular
game.
-Some executives will look after both PR and marketing within their company. There
are also external PR/marketing agencies that can look after several different brands.
-Sales executives might be responsible for the level of sales a game hits, and
establishing relationships with retailers and distributors

Table 11.0 Top 10 Sponsors in E-sports (2017)

In terms of E-sports, the first thing people think of is likely not the sponsors. Many of
these sponsors, though, have a big impact on e-sports and the gaming community in
general. As the competitive gaming community becomes larger, it is important to pay
attention to the brands that are having the most influence on the community at large.
Here are ten of the biggest e-sport sponsors.

1. IGN
IGN has been a staple of gaming reporting, community building, and sponsorship for a
long time. Furthermore, they are sponsoring teams, leagues, and they are one of the
biggest supporters for competitive gaming going mainstream.

2. Twitch
Twitch is a massive streaming giant that focuses mostly on gaming streams. They are
also known for the “Twitch Plays Pokemon,” but no matter how you know them, they
are a huge player in the e-sports world. Not only are they the platform that people
likely use to watch e-sports online, they are sponsoring the competitions too.
3. Gamestop
Gamestop’s best interest to see gaming get a larger following as they are the retailer
that many gamers go to to buy their games, systems, and accessories.

4. Nerdist
Chris Hardwick founded this online media network, and it has grown to a huge group
that serves many purposes. Nerdist have shows, podcasts, and writing on movies,
television, gaming and much more. Now, though, Nerdist is a big sponsor for
competitive gaming too.

5. YouTube
Perhaps they are trying to compete with Twitch, but YouTube is also a big sponsor of
competitive gaming. YouTube has been slowly improving their streaming services
over the years, and they are interested in increasing the amount of interest in e-sports
too. More streamed e-sports means more opportunities for YouTube to get more
109 | P a g e
viewers and users.
6. Google
Google and YouTube both in this list might seem redundant, but it is worth noting that
Google is also sponsoring e-sports on their own too. Google is a huge company with a
lot of power to direct people’s attention to different locations and sites. Furthermore,
they have a lot of money, and that is particularly intriguing to the quickly growing
competitive gaming community that is seeking ways to fund themselves.
7. Microsoft and Sony

Specifically the Playstation and Xbox division of both of these companies have done a
lot to support the competitive gaming community. They have sponsored individual
teams, tournaments and leagues, and they have done a lot more too. While neither of
their current systems are particularly noted for e-sports (most of the e-sports that are
well known and broadcast are played on a PC), it is still in their best interest to see the
gaming community grow. After all, if people are interested in the games they see in
these competitions, they will be more likely to start playing games (or more games if
they already play).

8. Coca-Cola
Coke has made a big scene in the e-sports community by sponsoring the League of
Legends world championship. They even released their newest type of soda there and
did so to some acclaim. While it might be stereotypical that gamers would be drinking
soda while playing, it is not entirely untrue. After all, when gamers are deep into a
siege or match, gamers likely want something to sip on that will taste good and give
them some energy. Coke is hoping that their brand is what gamers will reach for.
9. Doritos
Doritos has made quite the impact on the gaming community through their own
contributions and not just through their appearance in various memes. Similar to
Coke, Doritios are hoping that they are the snack of choice gamers will reach for while
110 | P a g e
gaming.
10. Red Bull
Red Bull seems to be sponsoring all of the internet’s favorite things. They already
sponsor some awesome extreme stunts that go viral on YouTube, and they always
seem to be sponsoring some funny new event, but e-sports is also in that list too. Red
Bull gives gamers the energy they need to keep gaming.
