2011-2020 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Foreword
Foreword
Citizen-supported short-term, medium-term and long-term plans and programs have been instrumental in regenerating
and transforming Iloilo City from a conservative and dilapidated port city into a knowledge-based economy. The vast
improvement of Iloilo City is largely attributed to its integrated and holistic approach to achieve economic, social and
physical transformations. Its emphasis on environmental clean-up, use of culture, internationalization and design, major
improvements to its infrastructure, as well as the restoration of its historic areas over some 100 years have successfully
rejuvenated the city. More significantly, the city was able to connect investment in infrastructure with social integration.
Iloilo River, which was once a physical and social barrier is now a hub for social and cultural integration and a center for
recreation, innovation and creativity.
HON. JED PATRICK E. MABILOG
The citizens are particularly optimistic with the preparation of the CLUP as an effective framework to align government, City Mayor
business and the community towards a shared vision for the city. The CLUP is a testimony to the importance of strong
leadership and institutional processes in key decision-making and sustained implementation.
Iloilo City is also an exemplary city that continually re-invents and evolves itself amidst dynamic changes, and will serve
as an inspiration to cities worldwide. The experience of the CLUP as a comprehensive spatial development guide,
incrementally executed through various programs and projects over 10 years, has achieved a profound transformation of
the city. The city has improved its environment and quality of life significantly, strengthened its social cohesiveness and
cultural vibrancy and also increased its economic competitiveness.
It is noted that the key factors underlying the success of Iloilo City’s transformation is more than just the desire for the
Green City Hall or the beautiful Iloilo River Esplanade. It is not about achieving urban makeover and economic and
social vibrancy through a few iconic buildings or landmarks. Rather, Iloilo City has shown that strong leadership and a
commitment to a systematic and long-term plan, based on solid processes and supporting infrastructure, are key factors
to the success of a city’s transformation.

C. Comprehensive Land Use Planning
Comprehensive Land Use Planning (1998-2010)
The city administration under then city mayor Mansueto Malabor issued Executive Order No. 6 (series
of 1998) creating the City Land Use Plan Executive Committee and the Technical Working Group. The
working group reconvened the original members of the Task Force on Updating of the Comprehensive
Urban Development Plan to revise the 1977 plan and to improve the 1993 plan. For this exercise the
city did not opt to engage with a consultant but instead relied on local professionals who represented
the various development sectors. A group of local architects led by Arch. Honorato Paloma, Arch.
Sergio Peñasales, Arch. Lilio Velasco, Arch. Ramon Teruel, Arch. Padlan and Arch. Melvin Lataquin
led the environmental planning and land use planning aspects of the CLUP.
Guided by the HLURB guidelines that prescribed a sectoral approach to Comprehensive Land Use
Planning, a multi-sectoral planning body was formed for the revision preparations. The multi-sectoral
planning body included public and private citizens and professionals who identified and analyzed
issues, objectives, solutions, strategies, programs and projects defined under the Social Development
Sector, Economic Sector, Infrastructure and Utilities Sector and the Environment Sector. The resulting
1998-2010 Comprehensive Land Use Plan was then approved by HLURB in 2001 as the first Highly
Urbanized City CLUP.
Comprehensive Land Use Planning (2011-2020)
The revision of the 1998-2010 CLUP was initiated by then city mayor Jerry Treñas who opted to hire a
consultant to study the existing Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the City in preparation for its
revision. Palafox Associates assisted the city in overseeing the initial preparations for the plan revision
through a series of consultations and focus group discussions with the city stakeholders and the City
Planning and Development Office.
In his report, Arch. Palafox highlighted the city stakeholders’ perceived issues and problems,
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and his own observations of the other urban issues.
He presented in the report many new concepts and ideas on climate change resiliency and disaster
risk reduction. The report contained four development frameworks that he perceived can guide the

1. Location
Figure 2A-1: International Setting of Iloilo City

a. International Setting
Iloilo City is found in the Philippines, an archipelagic country located in Southeast Asia between the
Pacific Ocean and South China Sea. The Philippines is made up of 7,107 islands with a total area of
approximately 300,000 square meters Approximately 298,170 square kilometers is composed of land,
and the remaining 1,830 square kilometers is water. It lies 966 kilometers off the Southern Coast of
Asia. Its greatest length is 1,851 kilometers from north to south of the archipelago and its greatest
breadth if 1,107 kilometers from east to west. The Philippines is bounded by the South China Sea in
the west, by the Pacific Ocean in the east, by Sulu and Celebes Sea in the south and the Bashi
Channel in the north. Its neighbors include China and Australia, as well as the emerging economies in
Southeast Asia.
b. Regional Setting
Iloilo City is situated in Region VI, (the Western Visayas region) which has a land area of approximately
20,441 square kilometers. It is comprised of six provinces – Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Iloilo, Negros
Occidental, and Guimaras. It has a population of 6,843,643 and a population density of 343 persons
per square meter*. It has the most number of cities among Philippine regions at 16. Iloilo City is the
center of the Western Visayas Region.
The main economic activities of Region VI are agricultural, agricultural-based industries, and tourism.
The region has several interesting cultural heritage sites and is rich in natural resources. Products of
Western Visayas include rice, coconut, fruits and sugar.
c. Provincial Setting
Iloilo City sits at the southwestern edge of the Province of Iloilo in the island of Panay. Iloilo Province
has a land area of 4,719.4 square kilometers and is bounded on the north by the Province of Capiz, on
the east by the Visayan Sea and Guimaras Strait, on the west by the Province of Antique, and on the
south by the Gulf of Panay and Iloilo Strait. It has a population of 1,925,002*. With the current
population growth rate, the population is projected to increase to 532,059 in 2020. It comprises six
congressional districts, 42 municipalities, 2 cities, and 1,901 barangays. Its economy is mainly
agricultural which include the production of major crops such as rice, coconut, fruits, cashew nuts, and
mangoes. Iloilo Province is also known as a major source of fish products with its rich marine and
aquatic resources. Aside from agriculture, the province also has other economic activities. It includes
manufacturing and crafts businesses such as textile, pottery, and furniture-making. Banking,
commerce, retail, service sectors, and schools are also present especially in urbanized areas.
Iloilo Province was the leading province during the Spanish Colonial Period. It is now known as tourism
destination for its historical importance. The province possesses old world literature architecture,
particularly churches built during the Spanish Era. These include the Church of Santo Tomas de
Villanueva off the Miag-ao Church which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Iloilo City is protected from the strong currents of the southern coastal waters by Guimaras Island. It is
located at coordinates 10° 45’ north latitude, 122° 33’ east longitudes. It is in the center of the
Philippine archipelago which is strategically located 283 statute miles from Manila through Antique
waters and about 337.6 nautical miles from Manila through Capiz waters. It is about 55 minutes to one

d. Domestic Flight Routes
Being an archipelago, domestic routes are possible through air and sea. The domestic route by air
touches 40 cities and towns outside Metro Manila. There is an average of 170 flights daily with about
11,000 passengers and 170 tons of cargo.
Situated between the Municipalities of Cabatuan and Santa Barbara, the new Iloilo International Airport
has replaced the old airport in Mandurriao, in Iloilo City. Four airline companies serve daily domestic
flights to and from Iloilo. These companies are Philippine Airlines (PAL), which have flights from Manila;
Air Philippines, which fly from Cebu and Manila; Cebu Pacific, which fly from Cebu, Manila, and Davao;
and Zest Airways, which have flights from Manila.
The Iloilo International Airport currently does not cater flights to and from international destinations
despite the inclusion of “International” in its name. However, the airport is designed with standards to
cater to international flights. Proposals to include international flights from similar destinations as Cebu
are currently in progress. According to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, the Iloilo
International Airport is a Class 1 Principal (Domestic) Airport and is rated as the fourth busiest airport in
the country.
e. Domestic Sea Routes
Currently, there are three (3) major ports in Iloilo City: Fort San Pedro Port, Iloilo River Wharf (IRW),
and the International Commercial Port Complex (ICPC). The Philippine Ports Authority, Port
Management Office–Iloilo operates and maintains all three (3) ports located within the City Proper. Fort
San Pedro Port is situated beside the historical Fort San Pedro landmark, Iloilo River Wharf’s two (2)
kilometer stretch starts from the Parola area inwards to Custom Building at the Muelle Loney Street,
and the ICPC located at Barangay Loboc. Shipping companies such as 2GO Group Incorporation,
Montenegro, Milagrosa, Trans-Asia Shipping provide trips to Manila, Palawan, Cebu and Mindanao.
There are also numerous boat and ferry terminals within the city proper. The boat terminal in Ortiz
Street serves as jump-off point to Guimaras, wherein boats carry passengers going to the Municipality
of Jordan, the provincial capital. The other boat terminal, located at Parola, also serves passengers
traveling to another particular town in Guimaras, the town of Buenavista.
Numerous ferryboat terminals along Muelle Loney accommodate passengers going to Bacolod City
and other cities in the Visayas. There are at least eight daily trips to Bacolod City.
f. Land Connectivity with Metro Iloilo-Guimaras Towns
As the center of the Metropolitan Iloilo-Guimaras Iloilo City is a convergence center of commerce,
trade, industry, education, and governance. As its metro-capital Iloilo plays a most crucial role in the
urbanization of the Metro Iloilo Guimaras Economic Development Council established through
presidential Executive Order No. 559 in August 2006 for local economic development and tourism. The
city supports and complements the functional roles and other socio-economic activities of the
neighboring MIGEDC municipalities of Oton, San Miguel, Sta. Barbara, Leganes, Pavia and the Island
Province of Guimaras. (See Figure 2A-5 and Connectivity Map).

distribution of basic urban services by the city government. These statistics rationalize the need to regulate land

2. Settlements
Iloilo City is an old city that was built out of the trading and commercial activities during the Pre-Spanish period.
The city was a port city that thrived on the daily trading between visiting foreign merchants that brought in silk,
porcelain, spices, and other trade ware from both the east and west. Iloilo port was busy with the movement of
sugar and hand-woven cotton from Panay Island too. Exposed to these daily activities at the port area along
Iloilo River, the early town situated its settlements and barangays close to the river and the business houses that
brokered for foreign traders. With the Catholic Church seemingly dictating the layout of town plans, Iloilo was no
exempt when it laid out the surrounding barangays of the Iloilo port very close to the San Jose Church fronting
Plaza Alfonso Trese (now known as Plaza Libertad). Town plans during the old days placed the church and the
plaza at the middle of residential and commercial buildings that were built close to the riverfront. This pattern
can still be seen in the way the barangays of the waterfront area are defined with closely packed residential
clusters. The waterfront near the Iloilo River mouth has the most concentrations of government offices.
Other similar settlements mushroomed close to riverports and where economic activities was flourishing. The
towns of Arevalo and Molo soon followed the same layout as the City Proper’s. Jaro also had the same layout There are two main land use classifications that make up the built areas and barangays of the city – the

an advanced telecommunications, infrastructure, retail and trading, business process outsourcing, a
robust banking and financial sector. The Philippine Standard Industrial Classification categorizes the a) An LGU investment promotion program

City’s seafood exports lead to about 60% of the country’s total seafood exports.
The services sector is the predominating type of industry in Iloilo City in terms of quantity and
capitalization. This is reflected on the number of employed persons by industry type in 2002, which is
more than double the number of workers in agriculture and industry (manufacturing). Statistics from
April 2003 of the National Statistic Office (NSO) reveals that 82% of the labor force is engaged in the
service sector, while 14% for industry, and 4% for agriculture. This shows that the service sector is the
industry type that employs the highest number of workers. In 2003, Iloilo City’s labor force participation
rate (LFPR) was registered at 66%, which means that 66% of the population is within the age range
and capacity to work. The labor participation rate of Iloilo City however, is less than the national
average by approximately 8.1%.
Heritage and cultural tourism is the city’s unique selling point as centuries-old structures such as
churches, cathedrals, buildings, and homes with varying architectural designs, degrees of antiquity, and
historical significance made its mark as the city’s best tourist attractions. Foreign tourists visit Iloilo the
most during January as well at 6,989 visitors. Both domestic and international tourists generate about
more than Php 7 billion in tourist receipts. Iloilo City has adequate tourism infrastructure to
accommodate tourists. There are 16 accredited hotels, one pension house, one inn, one resort, and 20
other accommodation types.
Peak visitation by domestic tourists is during January likely due to the time of the Dinagyang Festival at
32,810 visitors. The popular Dinagyang Festival, which is celebrated every fourth weekend of January,
is held with street dances and parades in honor of the Señor Santo Niño. Held every 2nd of February,
the Feast of Our Lady of Candles is one of the largest religious festivals in Western Visayas. It
showcases cock derbies, carnivals, garden shows, and agro-industrial exhibits. Also unique among the

A study made on the deepwells located around the Calajunan Dumpsite in Mandurriao in 1998 (as a
requirement for the issuance of a DENR Environmental Compliance Certificate for the Calajunan
Sanitary Landfill Project) revealed traces of heavy metals in several of the wells. This particular
hazard is considered high.
Fire
Another vulnerability of the city is fire. Historical accounts reveal that the most affected areas are
usually the densely-packed communities of informal settlers whose housing structures are largely
made up of scrap wood, bamboo, nipa and other combustible materials. These light materials are
quick to catch fire especially during the dry months of summer. Poor neighborhoods that rely partly on
candles and gas-fed and kerosene lamps have been known to experience fires caused by households
that poorly handled these fire-inducing lamps.
Narrow roads and obstructed alleys that are common at densely populated areas further increased the
vulnerabilities of these communities and barangays to fire. The fire that occurred this year in Brgy.
