of the league of cities citing alleged infirmities in the law creating the city, the
Supreme Court ruled with finality that the law creating the city is constitutional
and on June 28, 2011, the decision was recorded in the Final Entry of Judgement

• Agriculture is the main source of income of the people of Tabuk. Around

17,668 people are engaged in farming both as major and minor source of
income. 27,882.50 hectares or 36% of the total land area of the City is
devoted to agricultural production particularly rice and corn.Nearly one
half of the total agricultural land of Tabuk is rice land with a total
production of 129,218.85 MT as of 2012. 79% of the rice lands are
irrigated while the rest are rain fed. 5,107 hectares are devoted to corn
production producing a volume of 66,248.40 MT. However, there is a
slight decrease in land areas for rice and corn production for the period
2009-2010 with coresponding decrease in the volume of production.
Poultry and Livestock. Grazing lands for livestock (Cattle and Carabao) is
9,795 hectars with a total volume of 4,554 heads for 2012 and 17,000 heads
of poultry for the same year.
Fisheries. Fish supply in the city is inadequate so that 40% of the fish
requirement of the city populace come from other provinces. Main sources
of fish in Tabuk are the communal bodies of water producing about 70,075
kilograms of fish and individual fishpond owners producing about 21,954
kilograms. Only two fishpond owners are operating commercially and
most are producing mainly for household consumption.
Forestry. Of the total forest land of Tabuk, 50,904.25 hectares are

production forest while the remaining3,750.00 hectares are considered
protection forest. Estimated timber resources in 2008 is 306,966 cubic
meters and 27,447,591 cubic meters for non-timber resources.

with an average capitalization of more than half a million pesos. The
services sector recorded the highest capitalization.
• Tourism
Eco-tourism is a growing industry in the city. The white water
rafting along the Chico River has gained national and international
recognition. The unique culure of the eight sub-tribes of Kalinga living in
the city presented in songs, dances and rituals with colorful costumes add
more fun for visiting tourists. The scenic mountain ranges of unique
formations are natural attractions. In addition are historical sites,
waterfalls, nature, agricultural and industrial tourism types. The yearly
tourism attraction is the “Matagoan Festival” celebrated during the month
of June.
In support to tourism are four DOT-accreditted hotels and
restauants, three banking institutions, recreational facilities, internet cafes,
several gift shops, and mobile phone services.
Tourists arrivals from 2001-2011 showed that 89% are domestic

tourists and only nine percent (9%) are from other countries.
E. Physical Infrastructure
Transportation.Tabuk is very accessible being traversed by major road systems

such as the Bontoc-Tabuk-Kabugao-Claveria road; Tabuk-Rizal-Enrile road; and
the Kalinga-Cagayan-Isabela alternate road. Majority of the barangays in the city
are reacheable by vehicular road, however, most of these roads are either gravel or
earth surfaced.
Utilities.Under Communication are the postal services provided by the Bureau of

Post; telegraphic services by LBC, JRC, RCPI/Western Union and MLhuillier;
telephone and internet services by SMART and GLOBE Telecoms who
established their own cell sites; print and broadcast services by the Kabalikat
Civicom TV stations, Radyo Natin, Radio Ng Bayan, and the Guru Press.

(KAELCO) while the potable water services are provided by the Tabuk Water and
several Barangay Community Water Associations.
F. Natural Environment
The areas along the Chico River comprising of Dupag, Naneng,
Bagumbayan and Lucog are declared watrshed areas with a total aggregate area of
6,271 hectares. This is to preserve the chico river being the venue of water rafting
and other tourism activities.
III. Development Constraints and Opportunities
Development issues and constraints that may hamper the attainment of the
development vision of Tabuk that must be addressed are the following:
a. Rampant conversion of agricultural lands into build-up use because of
pressure from rapidly growing population that increased the demand for
residential, commercial and institutional areas.
b. Many settlement areas are within disaster-prone and hazardous areas.
c. Congestion of settlements in urban areas which consequently led to
encroachment of built-up areas on road-right-of-way, government
reservations, protected areas, and along creeks/rivers for either settlement,
business and agricultural purposes.
d. Presence of inappropriate structures and activities within residential areas
e. Illegal mining and quarrying in sites not designated for such purpose
f. Conversion of forest lands to agricultural lands
g. Diminishing forest cover due to kaingin, forest clearing for corn farms and
illegal logging,
h. Lack of effective and continuous management, preservation and stewardship
of watershed areas
In the midst of the issues and concerns are opportunities that can propel the
development program:
a. Tabuk City being being planned to be next or second regional center of the
CAR
b. Partnership opportunities with the private sector in the financing and
development of priority projects through the public-private partnership
mechanism of the government
c. Capital and technical assistance from various government and non-
government agencies and the availability of bilateral and multilateral
assistance from international organizations that can be accessed, directly or
indirectly, by the city government.
IV. Goals and Objectives. There are six (6) major goals and objectives that are
reinforcing and complementing each other in the implementation of the plan.
1. Enhanced economic growth through the optimal use of production lands

and other resources.
2. Higher level of urbanization Management is achieved
3. Increased community access to services through efficient infrastructures,
services and other developments
4. Orderly and proper development in the urban and rural barangays
5. Improved and sustained environmental quality
6. Improved systyems, procedures and processes of local governnance.
V. Preferred Development Strategy
The preferred Spatial Strategy is Agri-industrial Development. This

strategy calls for the establishment of small and medium-scale industrial
plantations and livestock/poultry production, and light to medium agri-
industrial processing endeavors. Investments from both government and
private sector are encouraged.
Attached to this strategy is Ecotourism Development. As an industry,

ecotourism as a strategy will focus on development of tourism potentials,
promotion and marketing. Eco-tourism development shall be resource, agri
and culture-based.
VI. Proposed Land uses

Tabuk has a total land area of 77,447.25 hectares and the land use plan
allocates the land resources according to land use category and consistent
with the role of each of the four development districts. The changes in the
allocation of land areas was based on the sectoral studies in Volume III of the
CLUP that determined the space requirements of each land uses projected in
10 years time.

Chapter BRIEF PROFILE
I-1 OF TABUK CITY
A. BRIEF HISTORY
The name of the valley originated from the word “Tobog,” the name of a living
stream with cool and fresh water flowing from sitio Paligatto in barangay Balawag down
to the Chico River. The areas traversed by this stream were also called Tobog. The name
later on evolved to the term Tabuk.
The City of Tabuk was once called the “Valley of Gamonangs,” the Kalinga tribe
who had dominated Northern Kalinga centuries ago. This tribe was hostile and
antagonistic which provoked anger from the Southern Kalingas and resulted to tribal
wars. Soon, an epidemic followed which almost wiped out the Gamonang tribe. The
survivors fled to the hills bordering the provinces of Isabela and the old Mt. Province.
Since then, the valley became a “No Man’s Land” and was left to deers, wild hogs, wild
horses, wild dogs and wild carabaos.
Repopulation began shortly before the First World War. The American
government sent six volunteer pioneers from sitio Tobog and Lubuagan to re-inhabit the
place. The Lubuagan natives died of malaria, which left only the settlers from Tobog to
continue to till the soil in Laya. They were later joined by their relatives from Tobog.
Between 1922 and 1923, the second group of settlers came from Bontoc. They then
formed a colony at barangay Bantay. Another group from Bontoc and Cervantes, Ilocos
Sur was brought to Tuga and was supplied with necessary farm tools including mosquito
nets and kitchen utensils. Their success inspired the settlers to cross the Chico River
and moved eastward right into the heart of the valley. They were then followed by
migrants from La Union. Malaria casualties continuously depleted the number of these
pioneers but they held on.
In the early 1930s, the dawn of the new era for the town began with the coming of
the Bureau of Lands Survey Party. Four groups of municipal executives held reign before
Tabuk became a regular municipality on June 16, 1950 pursuant to Republic Act 533, an
Act of Congress.
The road networks connecting Tabuk to the Cagayan Valley and to Baguio via
Bontoc brought in more settlers and investments which fast tracked the economic
development of the town. The economy was purely agro-based and was doubly hastened
by the completion of the Chico River Irrigation System. The establishment of banks gave
credit opportunities and business started to boom. Cooperatives were organized, schools
were put up and bus terminals were established.
In June 24, 2007, Tabuk was converted into a city by virtue of Republic Act 9404,
“An Act Converting the Municipality of Tabuk into a Component City.” Tabuk is now
a fifth class city with an income of nearly P508 million in 2012. It is the capital city of
the province of Kalinga and one among only two cities within the Cordillera
Administrative Region, the other being Baguio City.
Tabuk is prominently considered as the rice granary of the Cordillera due to its
large agriculture area, producing large quantities of rice being supplied to other places.
The city has also produced outstanding farmers at the national level for the last two
decades.
The city is further proposed to be the site of the Regional Agro-Industrial Center
of the Cordillera. This is expected to propel the development of Tabuk as the premier
agri-industrial city of the region.
Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2013-2022, Tabuk City, Kalinga I-1

Volume I. THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN
B. HUMAN RESOURCES
The city registered a total population of 103,912 as of the 2010 NSO Census of
Population. This is broken down into an estimated number of 21,175 households with an
average household size of 4.9.
From 1918 to 2010, Tabuk generally followed a steady growth of population.
Growth peaked in the 1960s when Tabuk became the capital town of Kalinga-Apayao
(now Kalinga) and experienced a significant expansion of irrigation systems that attracted
more farmers to settle in the municipality. Growth slowed down from 1980 to 1990 due
to insurgency problems.
Tabuk further registered an overall average higher population growth compared to
the provincial, regional and national averages. This is particularly notable from 2007 to
2010 when the City registered its highest growth rate in 40 years, at 6.07 percent, while
the provincial average grew at a slow rate of 0.64 percent. This is an indication that
Tabuk is the fastest growing urban center in the province and maybe in the CAR, drawing
in migrants at a rate higher when it reached cityhood than before.
In terms of density, Tabuk’s gross population density in 2010 is estimated at 134
persons/sq.km land area. This is higher than the average population density for Kalinga
and the CAR. Compared to Baguio City, however, Tabuk is still sparsely populated.
This indicates that it still has great potentials in terms of carrying capacity for
urbanization. Built density is at 8,595 persons/sq.km which almost matches Baguio
City’s built density. Tabuk’s built-up areas comprise only 2.88 percent of the city’s total
land area. This will have to expand to accommodate needs for spaces of the ever
growing population.
Among the barangays, the urban area of Dagupan Centro has the highest gross
population density at 18,169 person/sq.km. Barangay Malalao, on the other hand, is the
most sparsely populated with a density of seven persons/sq.km.
Tabuk’s population is relatively young at an average age of 24 years. Population
clusters in age groups 1 to 19 years old, aggregately accounting for 46.70 percent of the
total population in 2010. Age group 5-9, specifically, has the highest population, both
males and females. Dependency ratio is estimated at 74 total young and old dependents
for every 100 people in the working age.
In terms of sex distribution, there are more females than males. The ratio is 97 males to
every 100 females. By age distribution, there are more females in the under-five age group
and in the elderly group (i.e., ages 65 and more). On the other hand, males comprise the
majority of 5-19 age group population and the working age population.
Labor force population, ages 15 to 64 years old, accounts for 57.68 percent of the
total population. This percentage is slightly higher among males at 58.26 percent. The
average age of the labor force population is 33 years old.

Tabuk City’s steeper, sloping areas are in the western section while flat plains are
in the eastern part, except for the rugged lands in the extreme east that borders the city
with Isabela, Mountain Province and the municipality of Rizal, Kalinga. The northern
area and east of the Chico River, as well as the short distance west of the river banks, are
also flat. South of Bulanao to the border of Mountain Province, except in Barangay Bulo,
are characterized by rolling hills. The steep portions, from 30 degrees to above 50 degrees
slope are in the western barangays which are located in high elevations. (Map I-8).
The natural characteristics of Tabuk that encompasses rugged terrain on the west
and wide plains on the east offer land resource opportunities for developing forest-based
and agricultural-based economic pursuits. The rich forest ecosystem opens up prospects
for such enterprises as ecotourism and sustainable forestry production. The fertile plains

obviously count as among the major assets of Tabuk City and has been and will continue
to be a defining resource in the development of the city.

C.3 Land Classification & Vegetation Cover
The alienable and disposable lands of the city cover 22,793 hectares or 29.43 percent of
Tabuk’s total land area. These include agricultural and residential lands, the former sub-
classified into rice fields, either irrigated or rainfed, corn land and some tree plantations.
Portions of these lands are still idle but have the potential to be arable and productive.
The area of forestland in the city of Tabuk is 54,654.25 hectares accounting for 70.57
percent of the total land area. (Map I-9). The forest lands are further divided into unclassified
forest and permanent forest/timberland. The unclassified forests are subject for re-classification
and can be available for future development. About 93 percent of the total forest land area is
classified as production forest while the remaining hectares are protection forest. The
diminishing forest cover in the city’s mountainous areas is a major concern. This is due
to kaingin, conversion to corn fields and illegal logging.

C.4 Soil
The following are the soil types in the city:
• Umingan Loam – predominant in barangay Dagupan, Laya East, Magsaysay, Appas,
San Juan
• Umingan Sandy Loam – mostly found along the riverbanks of Calanan, Gobgob,
Cabaritan, Appas, Magsaysay, Laya West, Tuga, and Cabaritan
• Nambaran Clay Loam – predominant in Bulanao, Calaccad, Balawag and some
portions of Lucog and Calanan
• Nambaran Sandy Loam –in Agbannawag, Dilag, Nambaran, Malalao, some portions
of Balong
• Alimudin Sandy Loam – found in Calanan, Gobgob, Cabaritan, Tuga, Lanna,
Masablang, Naneng, Magnao, Bantay, and Dupag
• Barcelona Clay - predominant in Cabaritan, Tuga, Lanna, and Masablang
• Alimudin Clay Loam – found in Guilayon, Magnao, and Nambucayan
• Guingus Clay Loam – predominantly found in the lower portions of Balawag and
Gobgob

C.5 Hydrogeologic Features
The lands of Tabuk are predominantly of the Alluvium geologic classification.
These are located mostly in lower elevations and flood plain areas. Tabuk Sediments,
meanwhile are located mostly in areas with rising elevation of up to about 500 meters
above sea level. At higher elevations are Volcanic Rocks, mostly in Balawag, Amlao,
Lucog and Naneng, and Metarocks in parts of Dupag and Bagumbayan. (Map I-10).
Tabuk’s rock formations have excellent quarrying property that renders the area
suitable for building-stone and mining purposes. In terms of mining, the only mining
activities being done in the city are the small-scale mining such as gold panning in the
Guilayon area and the sand and gravel extractions along the length of the Chico River
within Tabuk. Mineral resources found in the city are gold and copper. Allegedly, oil can
be also found at Cudal as claimed by an exploration done in the early 80’s by the
Philippine Oil Drilling Incorporation.
In terms of surface waters, Tabuk is drained by two major rivers, Chico River and
Mallig River, and numerous tributaries, creeks and streams. (Maps I-11). The Chico
River is the city’s biggest river which stretches to 60 km. and spreads in approximately
405,670.60 hectares from its headwaters in Mt. Province to its mouth in Tuao, Cagayan.
The Mallig River, the second biggest river, winds its way from Mt. Province down to
Calaccad on the southern end of Tabuk.
There are 13 more surface waters within the territorial jurisdiction of Tabuk, most
of which are tributaries to the Chico and Mallig River. The Binoluan Creek, Patiking
Creek, Tanudan River, Pasil River and Tobog River all discharge at the Chico river and
the accumulated discharges of these water bodies are being diverted at Barangay Bado
Dangwa for agricultural purposes. Surface waters also include the small water
impounding project in Tuga and communal irrigation systems constructed in various
parts of the city.

Most built-up areas or settlements in Tabuk City are established at elevations

below 300 meters above sea level. The quality of water bodies within/near these
settlements are then expected to get substantially reduced as they collect all sorts of
garbage, debris, human and animal wastes and with riverbanks being increasingly used as
garbage dumps and sewage receptacles. Compared however with other highly urbanized
areas where river and other water channels have become biologically dead, water flowing
through the plains of Tabuk city could still be used for agricultural and other purposes.
There is abundance of potable water in higher elevations, with clear brooks and
streams which could be developed and piped down to the settlements, and in some cases,
directly to the individual households.

C.6 Hydro-meteorological Features
The general climate of Tabuk is of the Third Type classification with seasons that
are not very pronounced. The cool months start in September and lasts until February.
This is followed by a short dry season, occurring during the summer, from March to May.
Typhoons frequently visit the city especially from July to December. In the recent years,
the average rainy days per month are eleven days, registering September as having the
highest rate of rainfall every year and March as the lowest. The average temperature is
26.4 degrees Celsius. It reaches its peak during the summer at 30-35 degrees and is
lowest from December to February with temperature ranging from 20-25 degrees.
The heaviest rains in the entire province of Kalinga occur on the months of June
to September. The average monthly rainfall estimated from 1999 to 2004 shows June at
275 mm rising to a peak of 340 mm on the month of September. The highest annual
rainfall that occurred within this six-year period was in 1999 at a total of 2,891 mm. This
is generally going on a downward trend up to 2004, with a short rise in 2003 as a result of
unusual heavy rains that occurred on the months of August and September of said year.
The mean annual rainfall in the whole of Kalinga from 1999 to 2004 is estimated at 2,195
mm. This is a little lower than the 2,390 mm mean annual rainfall for the Chico River
Watershed which covers parts of Abra, Apayao, Ifugao, Kalinga (including the whole of
Tabuk) and Mt. Province.

C.7 Climate-related Hazards
Tabuk is located not so very far from the frequently hit typhoon areas of Batanes,
Cagayan and Isabela. As such, depending on the strength of the typhoon and the radius it
covers, Tabuk is often in the path of typhoons passing this part of the Philippines. The
general path of the typhoon is from east to west, passing through the Province of
Kalinga, further to Isabela then crossing over to the Ilocos Region.
The Chico River carries a large volume of water and most often overswells during
heavy rains and typhoons. This causes the inundation of a large part of the city which is
associated with unpredictable seasonal weather pattern, human manipulation of
waterways, improper waste disposal and clogged drainage.
Many of the barangays also rely on rainfall for irrigation. Prolonged dry seasons
have resulted to destruction of crops or even deaths of animals where irrigation is still
absent.
C.8 Geologic-related Hazards

As seen in the national risk profile, the Philippine Archipelago occupies the west
Ring of the Pacific Ocean which is the most active part of the earth that is characterized
by an ocean-encircling belt of active volcanoes and earthquake generators.
In the Regional Risk Profile where Tabuk is a part, the Cordillera Region has
mountainous topography that is characterized by towering peaks, vast plateaus and
intermittent patches valleys. Throughout the year, CAR has pleasantly cool climate.
However, this nature has apparently have altered as there are now warm episodes felt
occasionally owing it to climate change
C.9 Disaster Risk Analysis

About four percent of Tabuk is highly susceptible to flooding from the over-
swelling of Chico River. High risk areas start from Suyang down to San Juan following
the path of the river, then expands in the flood plains of New Tanglag, Appas,
Magsaysay, and almost encompassing the whole of barangays Dagupan Weste, Laya
West and Cabaritan. A total of 51 hectares of built-up areas are located within this zone,
accounting for four percent of the total built-up area of Tabuk City. (Map I-12).
With many parts of the city having steep slopes, erosion remains among the major
disaster risks to the residents of the City. The areas that are highly susceptible to rain-
induced landslides span a total hectarage of 10,964 which is 14 percent of Tabuk’s total
land area and mostly in the western section of the city. The built-up areas in these high
risk locations measure about 26.65 hectares, two percent of the city’s total built-up area.
(Map I-13 and I-14)
Liquefaction is another disaster risk facing Tabuk. A total of 16,032 hectares are
found to be susceptible to liquefaction affecting more than half of the barangays in the
city. This affects a total of 788 hectares (64%) of built-up areas (Map I-17)
In terms of faultlines, there are two faults that cross Tabuk City. One traverses
Dupag and Bagumbayan and another crosses Naneng. (Map I-15). The epicenters of
earthquakes are in Cudal, Tuga and Pinukpuk near the border with Tabuk. (Map I-16).
The typhoons and continuous rainfall that hit the city cause the Chico River to rise
which, in turn, trigger flooding in the low-lying areas. Heavy rains also induce
land/mudslides along the mountain sides that can hit settlement areas and set-off
immense siltation of rivers and creeks, which further increases the risk of flooding. In
the event of these calamities, severe damages to crops and livestock, vital infrastructure
and human lives take place.
The needed facilities/infrastructures and systems for risk reduction have to be put
in place, coupled with improvement in required manpower capabilities. Community
awareness and preparedness further needs to be developed for a comprehensive disaster
management in the city.

C.10 Conservation & Other Special Interest Areas
Forest Conservation Areas. Forest is the dominant land use of Tabuk. Although
there are presently no areas declared as NIPAS within the city, there are declared
watershed areas in Dupag, Naneng, Bagumbayan and Lucog, aggregately measuring
6,271 hectares, which are considered as conservations areas and are covered by certain
limits in human activities and developments. These areas extend upto a 10-meter buffer
zone from the edge of the forest for forest conservation purposes. The Chico River and
other water bodies are also considered as conservation corridors, including a 10-meter
conservation buffer on both sides of the river banks. (Map I-18 and I-19). In total, the
forest conservation areas of the city measure 20,851 hectares accounting for 27 percent of
Tabuk’s total land area.

Ancestral Domain. There are seven identified ancestral domains or “Bugis” in

the city of Tabuk. These are: Naneng, Malbong, Guilayon, Biga, Culminga, Dallac and
Guilayon. These ancestral domains are defined in the Pagta of the Bodong that
determines the territorial jurisdiction of the Bodong. These ancestral domains comprise
several barangays or straddles in between two or barangays in different LGUs like the
case of the Biga ancestral domain that is located within Tabuk and Tanudan
municipalities.
Among the Ancestral Domain areas , the Guilayon Ancestral Domains is slated
for final deliberation and approval by the Commission-en-banc anytime to date. It
comprises the three political barangays namely: Guilayon, Magnao and Nambucayan. It
has an area of more or less 7,112.352 hectares. If finally approved it will be the first
ancestral domain title to be issued in the province of Kalinga.
An application is pending in the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples

for the recognition is the Minanga ancestral domain located in Upper Tabuk. On the
other hand, the Tobog ancestral domain located within the plains of Tabuk and extends to
Rizal municipality and Pinukpuk have already lost its identity as an ancestral domain
due to non practice of the bodong .
Other Special Interest Areas. Tabuk has a number of special interest areas that
are being intended for ecotourism development. Foremost of which is the Chico River
that is currently used for white water rafting, a comparative advantage of the City in
terms of its world-class tourism appeal. Other interest areas include the culture- and
nature-based tourism assets located in various areas of the city as well as structures that
have historical significance. (Map I-20).

D. PHYSICAL/ INFRASTRUCTURE RESOURCES
D.1 Transportation
Tabuk can be reached by land and by air. It takes two hours travel from the airport
located in Tuguegarao City and five hours ride to Sta. Ana where Port Irene is located.
The CRIP Trunk Line Road (Baguio- Figure I-2. Distribution of Roads by
Bontoc-Tabuk-Kabugao-Claveria), most Classification, Tabuk: 2012
especially the construction of the SONA
Road will boost the economic activity in
the city. Furthermore, the Kalinga-
Cagayan Lateral Road (Tabuk-Rizal-
Enrile Road), the Kalinga-Cagayan-
Isabela Alternate Road (Abbut-Conner-
Tuao), the links to other transport
facilities like the Airport in Tuguegarao
City and the Port Irene at Sta. Ana will
help to propel the city into an agri-
industrial center and the new economic
frontier of the North.

Internal Linkages. Tabuk is traversed by national, provincial, city and barangay

roads leading to the different barangays of the city. Some barangays like Malin-awa,
Balawag, Amlao, Suyang and Dupag are accessible via boat crossing the Chico River.
Barangays Magnao, Nambucayan, Guilayon and Calaccad are accessible only under good
weather condition. Some parts of Barangays Bagumbayan, Naneng, and Gobgob are
hardly accessible due to the rugged terrain and poor condition of roads.
The length of city road is 4.545 kms., of which 2.165 kms are paved. The
barangay roads have a total length of 224.152 kms. with 10.515 kms. already paved.
Pasonglao bridge, aside from being a linkage within some barangays of the city, is a
major bridge located in Barangay Calanan that connects the city to the other nearby
municipalities in the province. (Map No. I-21)
External Linkages. The road surface in the city is traversed by national roads
with a total road length of 123.345 kilometers with a uniform road right of way of 60-20
meters. These are maintained by the Department of Public Works and Highways.
Provincial roads are accounted to 51.54 kms. with an average road right of way of 60-20
meters and these are maintained by the provincial government of Kalinga. City roads
accounted to 4.545 kms. While barangay roads accounted to 224.152 kms. Thus, there are
more unpaved roads that need to be paved for a better flow of transportation for people,
goods and services.

D.2 Social Services Facilities/Amenities/Utilities
Table I-12 summarizes the major social services facilities/amenities that are
currently present in Tabuk City. The locations are shown in maps I-23 to I-30. There is a
high concentration of these facilities/ amenities in the urban barangays, particularly in
Bulanao and Dagupan Centro. The basic social service facilities that can be generally
found in all the barangays are public elementary schools, community level water supply
systems, day care centers and basketball courts and playgrounds. Higher level amenities
such as tertiary schools, hospitals, clinics and water district systems are found only in the
urban areas, mostly in Bulanao and Dagupan Centro. The presence of major social
service facilities that cater to clients at the provincial level speaks of Tabuk’s role as the
Kalinga’s services center.
In terms of education facilities, Tabuk has a total of 90 elementary schools. Of
this number, 82 are public schools having a total of 451 classrooms. These are grouped
into four districts, namely: Northern Tabuk District; Southern Tabuk District; Western
Tabuk District; Eastern Tabuk District. For the secondary level, the city has a total of 22
schools, seven of which are private and 15 are public with a total of 134 classrooms.
Tertiary education is provided by six schools including the Bulanao and Dagupan
campuses of the government-owned Kalinga-Apayao State College. One institution, the
TESDA Provincial Training Center, provides technical-vocational training for people in
need from .
For health facilities, the Kalinga Provincial Hospital is located in Tabuk City,
together with three other private hospitals. These four hospitals have a total of 191 bed
capacity that currently serve Tabuk and the rest of Kalinga province. There are
additionally 10 private medical clinics and one diagnostic center located mostly in
Bulanao Centro. Three Rural Health Units, apart from the City Health Office, have been
established to serve mainly the basic health care needs in the rural areas. Other health-
related facilities include 17 burial cemeteries mostly to meet demands for burial grounds
at the barangay level.
Social welfare facilities include 99 day care centers distributed all over the 42
barangays, catering to barangay or community level groups of pre-school children.
Additionally, the city has six centers for senior citizens, one women’s center and one
livelihood center. These centers are intended to cater to clienteles groups from various
barangays of Tabuk. Three resettlement areas have also been developed with the help of
the Red Cross, Gawad Kalinga and Couples for Christ, complete with basic amenities
such as electricity, water systems and roads. These are developed to benefit the typhoon
victims, rebel returnees and homeless families.
The facilities for protective services comprise of a police headquarters located in
Dagupan Centro, one police sub-station in Bulanao and three police outposts in Bulanao
and Appas. The fire station is likewise located in Bulanao Centro. The provincial jail is
also in Tabuk in addition to the district jail, both located in Bulanao.
For sports and recreation, the biggest sports facility is the 45 hectare Kalinga
Astrodome/ CARAA Ground developed by the provincial government as a regional level
sports facility. The astrodome has a tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court,
baseball/softball field, athletic field, badminton court and an Olympic size swimming
pool. Tabuk, furthermore, has three gymnasiums and five parks/botanical gardens that
mostly cater to citywide needs for sports and recreation. At the barangay/community
level, the facilities comprise of 71 basketball/volleyball courts and 64 playgrounds.
These are being used in the conduct of inter-district and inter-barangay sports
competitions, especially during barangay fiestas.
Other social amenities that supports/influences socio-cultural and economic
conditions include the churches with Tabuk having played a major part in the spread of
Christianity in the Cordilleras and the people of Tabuk having strong religious roots and
influence.

D.3 Utilities
Electricity in the City of Tabuk is provided by the Kalinga-Apayao Electric
Cooperative (KAELCO). As of 2013. KAELCO served a total of 19,106 households or
44 percent of the total number of households in Tabuk City. This leaves an estimated
potential electric connection to 24,858 more households. KAELCO is now operating on
85 percent of its load capacity. In order to meet its service target and the increasing
demand for electricity, it is now implementing the construction of another feeder to
balance the load and reduce system loss due to undersized wires and cables. It is further
pursuing expansion projects to cover the sitios in the barangays.
For water supply, as of 2010, only 20 percent (3,609 households) of the total
households are served by level III water supply system. Just eight out of the 42
barangays are covered under this system, primarily in Bulanao, Bulanao Norte, Dagupan,
Appas, Magsaysay, Laya East, Casigayan and San Juan. These barangays are benefiting
from a steady supply of potable from the Tabuk Water, a privately-owned company
currently serving as the water district of Tabuk City. Other barangays are also connected
to level III water supply system through barangay or community water associations.
About 28 percent (5,132 households) are served by level II water supply systems.
Majority of the households (52% or 9,379 households) get their water supply through
level I systems, mostly deepwells.
In terms of communication services, there are three major telecommunications
company operating in the city, namely, Smart, Globe and Sun Cell, servicing the entire
city. Smart has three cell sites in the city, Globe has five while Sun Cell has three. The
presence of these communication facilities in the city helped address the communication
problems especially in the rural barangays as they can now be in constant contact to
places outside of their barangay. The other communication facilities are: two postal
offices located in Bulanao and Dagupan Centro; and, two local radio stations, namely,
DZRK and Radyo Natin. One print media also operated in the city, namely the
GURU Press that publishes local newspapers on a weekly basis.
The existing solid waste disposal in the city is open dump site. All wastes
collected from the urban barangays (i.e., Dagupan Centro, Dagupan Weste, Casigayan,
Bulanao, and Bulanao Norte) are disposed at the dump site currently located in barangay
Dilag. The rest of the barangays practice burning and open pit dumping. Meanwhile,
liquid wastes are generally disposed in canals and other drainage systems. Hazardous
wastes generated by the hospitals and funeral parlors are disposed in their septic tanks,
garbage vaults, pits and incinerators.

E. ECONOMIC STRUCTURE
E.1 Sources of Income

Based on the Community
Figure I-3. Employment by Type
Based Monitoring System (CBMS) of Economic Activity, Tabuk City: 2011
survey conducted for Tabuk City in
2011, the primacy of agriculture as
the main source of income of the
people of Tabuk is very evident. This
sector provided employment for an
estimated 49 percent of all employed
people in the city for the period
concerned. The services sector
aggregately comes second as income
source, but there is no discernible
level of concentration to suggest
specialization in a specific sub-sector
or type of service. The top service activities though are trading, defense/compulsary
social security and transport, storage and communications. The industry sector still
counts relatively low in the total economy of Tabuk as suggested by low share in
employment generation.

E.2 Labor Force & Employment

The labor force and employment data in the next table were estimated based on
the age-sex distribution calculated from the 2010 NSO population survey and from the
result of the CBMS survey on employment variables. Estimates show that Tabuk has a
labor force participation rate of 62 percent, with more males in the working age who are
actively looking for work. Actually employed is 98 percent, slightly higher among

males. Tabuk’s employment rate is much higher than the 93 percent provincial average
for Kalinga.

E.3 Family Income & Poverty Incidence

From the distribution of house-holds by income bracket shown in the table below
and the figure on the right, average HH income can be roughly estimated somewhere
between Php 19,000 to 21,000 per month as of 2007. This is relatively high considering
the poverty income threshold set at Php 7,869 per HH per month.

F. EXISTING LAND USE & LAND USE TRENDS
Tabuk city, categorized as 5th class city, has an estimated total land area of
77,447.25 hectares. Forest lands used to account for the widest land area in the City. In
2008, forest lands occupied 43 percent of the city’s total land area. In 2012, these shrank
to 18 percent. Much of the forest areas lost their forest cover from felling of trees, forest
clearing for grazing purposes and kaingin, among others, that correspondingly expanded
the area of open spaces/grasslands/pasture lands which are now the biggest land uses in
Tabuk. Rapid population growth accelerated the diminution of Tabuk’s forest cover
which amplifies the challenge to pursue sustainable development options, placing major
consideration to forest protection and conservation.
Rapid population growth also caused heavy stress on Tabuk’s agricultural lands.
The area of cultivated lands contracted by .03 percent from 2008 to 2012. Agricultural
land presently account for 36 percent of the city’s total land area, down from the 36.03
percent share in 2008. These lands are now being converted to built-up use because of
increasing population that is raising the demand for residential, institutional and
commercial spaces.
Built-up areas currently comprise 3.04 percent of the total land area of Tabuk city,
an increase from the one percent share in the 2008 land use. Due to in-migration from the
nearby municipalities and provinces, the intensity of land use is increasing especially in
the two Barangays of Bulanao and Dagupan which emerged as the commercial centers of
Tabuk City. Commercial establishments and institutional activities are likewise rapidly
growing in barangays Casigayan and Dagupan Weste. These are concentrated along the
roads following linear patterns. Even road right-of-ways along the provincial and
national road are being utilized for built-up purposes in spite of ordinances that prohibit such.
Within these urban centers, agriculture is still the dominant land use, accounting
for 53 percent of the total urban land area. Majority of these agricultural lands are
irrigated, thus, considered as prime agricultural land. Protecting these agricultural lands
on the one hand and meeting the mounting need for built-up spaces on the other remains
among the major land use challenges in Tabuk.

G. COMPARATIVE-COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
This section summarizes the dominant strengths of Tabuk and the major development
opportunities available for the City as identified and analyzed from the sectoral studies
contained in Volume 2 of this CLUP.
Strengths
Demographic
• Large composition of people of working age in Tabuk’s total population which
indicates an ample supply of human resource for socio-economic development
• High functional literacy level of the population suggesting a high capacity for
further skills development
• Tabuk is an in-migration area which implies that it possesses the appeal of place
that can attract productive and economically active migrants
• Diversity of people’s culture that interact in unity, which adds uniqueness and
character to the City as a place and people
Physical Environment
• Abundance of water resources that can be tapped for socio-economic
development
• Wide tracts of fertile agricultural lands that earned for the City the popular
designation as the rice granary of the Cordillera
• Diverse forest resources with relatively wide hectarage of watershed areas
designated and maintained as conservation zones
• Interesting landscapes and water forms that have potential for ecotourism, with
the Chico River in Tabuk currently a world-class white water rafting site
• Wide area of lands classified as alienable and disposable which presents a clear
strength for higher level of urbanization and expansion of the built environment
Infrastructures
• Tabuk is very proximate to the airport in Tuguegarao and has strong external
transport linkages with other growth centers outside of the City
• Large irrigation systems have already been developed that significantly support
the city’s agricultural sector
• 100 percent electrification coverage at the barangay-wide level and current
endeavors for to expand coverage towards sitios
• Presence of telecommunication services offered by SMART and GLOBE
Social
• Availability of services, facilities and amenities for education, health, social
welfare, sports and recreation, and peace and order
• General health condition of the populace is improving as indicated by declining
incidence/cases of morbidity, mortality and malnutrition. This reflects the quality
of Tabuk’s human resources
• Tabuk is a peaceful city with structures and processes for the effective
maintenance of peace and order
Economic
• Tabuk is the commercial and industrial center of the province of Kalinga
• Highly productive agricultural sector that is well supported with facilities and
infrastructures and manned by skilled and organized farmers
• Growing agri-processing industry with Tabuk establishing its niche as a coffee-
processing center having the Kalinga Blend as among its trademark
Opportunities
• Tabuk City being planned to be the next or second regional center of the CAR
• Partnership opportunities with the private sector in the financing and development
of priority projects through the Public-Private-Partnership mechanism of the
government
• Capital and technical assistance from various government and non-government
agencies like the DA, DTI, DOST, DOT and the availability of bilateral and
multilateral assistance from international organizations that can be accessed,
directly or indirectly, by the city government of Tabuk

• Continuing research and development on sustainable agriculture that considers the
effect of climate change
• Growing consumer awareness on and demand for ecologically-friendly
commodities such as organically-grown farm products
• Tabuk linked with Tuguegarao as a tourism circuit that is being promoted and
marketed with by the DOT
The above distills into two potential development strategies where Tabuk City has
the comparative-competitive advantage, as follows:
1. Agri-industrial development: rice and corn, coffee and other agro-forestry

products, organic farming, among others
2. Ecotourism development: white water rafting and river eco-adventures along the
Chico River; mountain adventures, mountain resorts, culture-based tourism products
H. WEAKNESSES & GAPS: PRIORITY ISSUES AND CONCERNS

This section extracts the general issues and problems generated from the sectoral studies
that impinge on land use and hamper the attainment of the vision, goals and objectives set
forth in this plan. It suggests some directions for actions and interventions to address the
negative condition and fill in the gaps.
1. Rampant conversion of agricultural lands into built-up use because of pressure
from rapidly growing population that increased the demand for residential,
commercial and institutional spaces
2. Many settlement areas are within disaster-prone and hazardous areas
3. Congestion of settlements in urban areas which consequently led to encroachment
of built-up areas on road right-of-way, government reservation, protected areas,
and along creeks/rivers for either settlement, business and agricultural purposes
4. Presence of inappropriate structures and activities within residential areas (e.g,
piggery, livestock, rice mill, karaoke bar, tombs, etc)
5. Illegal mining and quarrying in sites not designated for such purpose
6. Conversion of forest lands to agricultural lands
7. Diminishing forest cover due to kaingin, forest clearing for corn farms, and illegal
logging
8. Lack of effective and continuous management, preservation and stewardship of
watershed areas
I. FUNCTIONAL ROLES OF TABUK CITY

Tabuk currently plays several roles as part of the province of Kalinga, the CAR and the
Philippines in general. These are as follows:
• Center of commerce and trade in the province of Kalinga

• Seat of provincial government of Kalinga
• Agri-industrial center of the Cordillera Administrative Region
• Rice granary of the Cordillera
• White water rafting capital of the North

B.2 Development Strategies
B.2.1 Alternative 1: Agri-Industrial Development Strategy
This strategy will tap the full potential of Tabuk’s agricultural resources to
generate socio-economic benefits to the people of the city. Spatial development will be
organized around the development of agricultural expansion areas, improvement in farm
productivity, promotion of sustainable agriculture, establishment of plantation and
commercial farms, and development of light to medium processing industries that will
optimize the economic benefits from agriculture.
The agri-industrial development strategy will entail the development of agri-
indusrial potentials of diverse landscapes from the mountainous west to the rolling hills
and hilly flatlands in the southern barangays. This will further tap the potentials of the
eastern barangays to serve as the agri-industrial, logistic and commercial development
district. The northern barangays will serve as the business and commerce incubator
district that is linked to agri-industrial development.
B.2.2 Alternative 2: Ecotourism Development

This strategy will harness the ecotourism potentials of the city that will expand
Tabuk’s present white water rafting into a portfolio of various nature- and culture-based
tourism products. This will trigger the development of the manufacturing and service
sector in the tourism value chain.
The main ecotourism zones are: Chico River tourism corridor, western tourism
development district covering the barangays at the western part of Tabuk, city tour and
agri-tourism in the urban barangays, eco-adventures on the mountainous landscape on
the northern and southern barangays, and parks adventure on the eastern section.

B.2.3 The Preferred Spatial Strategy: Agri-Industrial Development
The agri-industrial development strategy is more congruent with the vision and
goals of this plan. However, even though this strategy will be the focal point of the plan,
the ecotourism development will also be given special accommodation as the
development will encompass all sectors. Moreover, since ecotourism development is
among the long-term strategies in the Tabuk Urban Master Plan, priority for this will
eventually shift in the future as the agri-industrial vision will be realized that will call for
harnessing other strong development potentials of the City.
From the evaluation of alternative strategies and options outlined in the table
above, the most viable options under the agri-industrial development strategy appear to
be small and medium-scale industrial plantations and livestock/poultry production and
light to medium agri-industrial processing endeavors. The costs of developing these
options are more within local capabilities, resource strengths and emerging opportunities.
These are also the scale of economic enterprises that present greater potentials for wider
participation of local communities and entrepreneurs, compared to heavy and large-scale
economic endeavors which entail heavy investments that are not presently accessible to
many in the locality.

D. THE CONCEPT/STRUCTURAL PLAN
The conceptual plan for Tabuk proposed under the Tabuk Urban Master Plan will
be adopted as the scheme to guide in the preparation of the land use plan in this CLUP.
The concept is a combination of Green Wedges and Outward Development Expansion
and Multiple Urban Forms of Core and Concentric Development
Situated between the urban areas of Bulanao and Dagupan are prime agricultural
lands characterized by flat, fertile and well-irrigated rice fields. The green wedges and
outward development expansion scheme recognizes the significance of the existing
advantage of these prime agricultural lands, hence development expansion of both major
centers as well as Nambaran becomes outwards, or away from prime farming lands.
Bulanao’s expansion is aimed southwards, Dagupan sprawling to the north, and
Nambaran swelling in all directions but mainly to the north and east. In such direction of
expansion, the green wedge of agricultural land is preserved, thus securing its role as an
agricultural production core and contributing to local food security.
Similarly, wedged in between the growth centers of Agbannawag and Nambaran

are large preserved agricultural areas. Agbannawag is posed to develop in the southward
direction, away from existing agricultural lands. This direction of development
establishes itself as gateway center to trade to the Province of Isabela.
Cudal on the other hand, will expand in the western direction, closer to vast tracks
of agricultural expansion areas in the west. In this way, settlement areas are to be
established closer to sources of food and livelihood, especially for farmers.
Expansion areas on both banks of the Chico River in Balawag, Suyang, Bado
Dangwa and Bantay are also expected, but in linear west and east directions since both
northward and southward directions are constrained by mountainous areas.
The concept of multiple urban forms of core and concentric development is

suitable to the existing development characteristics of the City’s urban/growth areas.
Concentric development or outward expansion of built-up areas will be characterized in
the centers of Bulanao, Nambaran and Cudal and its nearby potential growth centers.
These areas will make use of surrounding spaces for expansion. These will also be
complemented by nearby agricultural expansion areas since these are to expand, resulting
into conversion of agricultural land within its proximity. Near to these expansion areas
are open spaces that will also be converted into agricultural lands to compensate for the
previous farm lands that have been converted into built-up areas.
The Tuga Growth Center will also be considered for core development since its
existing built-up center is bounded by the upland areas on the west and the agricultural
areas of the east facing the Chico River. It is best that these agricultural areas are to be
preserved since they can also act as buffers for built-up areas to sprawl too closely and
dangerously near the river, which also makes such built-up areas bemore vulnerable to
flooding.
These schemes guided in the clustering of Tabuk into four development districts,
as follows: a) Northern Business and Commerce Incubator; b) Agro-Industrial
Development District; c) Agri-Industrial, Logistics and Commercial Center; and d)
Western Tourism Development District.

D. THE LAND USE PLAN
D.1 Projected Space Requirements

The estimated future total land area requirement for selected land uses are
presented in the table below. These were distilled from the sectoral studies in Volume III
of this CLUP. Most of these are calculated based on minimum space requirement
standards, hence, should be generally considered as the lower limit.

Note: 1/ Cropland area maintains the present cultivated lands for rice and corn as here reflected.
D.2 Proposed Land Uses

The proposed land uses are presented in the succeeding table and graphically in
the figure below. These already provide for the projected future space requirements
shown in the foregoing.

The land uses with the biggest increase are intended for industrial use and forest
land. Industrial areas will increase by 252% while forest lands by 122%. The provision
of ample land area for industrial purposes is in support of agri-industrial development
strategy aimed at bannering Tabuk as the premier agri-industrial city of the Cordilleras.
The lands designated for industrial purposes shall include space requirements for agri-
industrial park/complex for light to medium processing industries, toll packaging
facilities, technology livelihood and development center, among others. Commercial
areas will also increase to support the backward and forward linkages to agri-industrial
development
The expansion of residential areas will provide for the housing needs of the ever-
growing population. This will support the attainment of a zero housing backlog including
lands for socialized housing for qualified beneficiaries, and provide residential space for
new household formation.
Agricultural areas will expand by four percent from the present. These are the
remaining prime agricultural lands of the City that will be subject to strict conversion
regulation. The primary objective is to raise the productivity of these areas to support
agri-industrial development objectives and the locality’s pursuit for food sufficiency.
All existing forest lands will increase by 122% and protected as forest
conservation areas. These lands are essential for the improvement of the quality of
Tabuk’s natural environment including the sustainability of water sources. These shall be
protected and managed as part of the wider Chico River Watershed protection and
management objectives.
The area of institutional lands will also increase by more than 23%. This will
include land requirements for government reservations, social services including sanitary
landfill, cemeteries and sports and recreation spaces.
The present use of the proposed expansion areas for built-up purposes (i.e.,
residential, industrial, commercial and institutional) are open spaces/grasslands. Note
that the area of lands categorized as open spaces/grassland/pasture land will lessen by
more than 21,000 hectares which is nearly equivalent to the increases in built-up and
agricultural lands. Some portions of grasslands have arable potentials hence will form
part of future agricultural lands.

III-1 DEMOGRAPHY
A. POPULATION CHANGES
A.1 Historical Growth of Population

The total population size of the city had been gradually increasing except for a
decrease that was recorded for the years 1918 to 1939. The population growth peaked in
1960s with the opening of roads from Cagayan Valley and Baguio City through Bontoc
that encouraged more settlers to move to Tabuk. Growth slowed down from 1980 to
1990 due to insurgency problems. As of the latest census held in year 2010, Tabuk’s
population registered at 103,912, a 6.07 percent annual growth from the 2007 population
census. This is Tabuk’s fastest growth recorded in 40 years. If this growth rate will
prevail, population is estimated to double in 11 years.
Tabuk further registered an overall average higher population growth compared to
the provincial, regional and national averages. This is particularly notable from 2007 to
2010 when the city grew at a very rapid rate while the provincial average growth
drastrically decelerated. This is an indication that Tabuk is the fastest growing urban
center in the province and maybe in the CAR, drawing in migrants at a rate faster when it
reached cityhood than before.

Volume III. THE SECTORAL STUDIES
A.2 Fertility & Mortality: Crude Birth Rate & Crude Death Rate
Tabuk has a generally increasing crude birth rate. CBR peaked in 2009 at 24.5
births per 1,000 population then dropped by 5.31 percent the next year, at 23.2 births per
1,000 population. This decline in the latest period may be accounted for by the increase
in contraceptive prevalence rate, from 30 percent in 2009 to 43 percent in 2010.
Crude death rate, on the other hand is a bit erratic, though it can be noted to be
higher in the recent years. CDR in 2010 is 2.7 deaths per 1,000 population, up from the
2.4 recorded in 2006. This is a net addition of about 20.8 persons per 1,000 population in
2010 which is the difference between the CBR and CDR data in the said period, lower
than the 21.4 net in 2009.

Age dependency ratio indicates the extent to which those who are too young or
too old to earn a living depend for support on those who work/can work. Based on the
age distribution of population in 2007, total age dependency ratio can be estimated at 74
dependents for every 100 people in the working age. Sixty-four (64) of the dependents
are young and 7 are elderlies.
C. POPULATION DISTRIBUTION
C.1 Urban-Rural Household Population

Figure III-4. Population By Urban and
Tabuk’s urban population, as of the Rural, Tabuk: Year 2007 & 2010
latest census in 2010, accounts for 60 percent of
the total population. This is an increase from
the 57 percent recorded in 2007. There are 13
out of the 42 barangays that belong to the urban
classification. Barangays Bulanao, Casigayan,
Dagupan Centro, Dagupan Weste, Bulanao
Norte and Ipil are the biggest urban areas in
terms of population and are the center of urban
activities in the city. Bulanao, with a population
of 15,948, has the largest population. The
fastest growing, however, are barangays Dilag,
Bulo and Laya East.
Meanwhile, among the rural barangays, Lacnog and Nambaran have the biggest
population. They are proximate to Ipil, and Dilag, which are among the highly
populated urban barangays, and whose population tended to spill-over to the adjacent
areas. Barangay Suyang, on the other hand, has the least population (332 populace),
with population growth curtailed mainly by the relative difficulty of access, requiring the
residents to cross the Chico River by boat to reach the barangay.

C.2 Level of Urbanization

For the past 20 years, the rate of Figure III-5. Level & Tempo of
Tabuk’s urbanization has been erratic. Urbanization Tabuk City
The highest was in 1995 when urban
population accounted for 36.2 percent
of the total population of Tabuk. This
was the time of insurgency problems
that affected Kalinga in general and
which led to significant movement of
people from the rural to the urban areas.
Urbanization rate then went down,
reaching its lowest at 33.7 percent in
2010. Compared to the provincial
average, Tabuk’s urbanization rate is
proceeding at a slower pace, as indicated by negative tempo of urbanization.

C.3 Population Density

With the city’s total land area of 774.47 sq. km, the gross population density of
Tabuk as of the 2010 population census is estimated at 134 persons per sq. km. In terms
of gross population density, Dagupan Centro is the most densely populated among the
barangays with an average of 8,676 persons per sq.km. But in terms of built density,
barangays Ipil and Casigayan have the most number of population per square kilometer
of built-up area, at 21,896 and 18,419, respectively. Ipil is among the barangays with small
built-up area relative to its total land area which indicates that it has a potential space capacity
for urbanization. Casigayan, meanwhile, has the smallest land area which poses a limitation to
urban expansion. Dagupan Centro has a built-density that is not very far from its gross density
which suggests that future expansion will be more in the vertical direction. Bulanao Centro has
the highest total population but is highly concentrated in a relatively small built-up area.
In general, population is densest in the eastern section of the city where the
central business is located, while thinly populated in the western side where land terrain
is most rugged and with difficult access.

D.2 Population Projection by Barangay

Bulanao Centro will continue to be the primary urban center of Tabuk. It will
account for 25 percent of the total urban population that covers a total of 13 barangays.
Bulanao Norte and Dilag follow at 10 percent each of the total urban population. In total,
urban population will account for nearly 60 percent of the projected population.
For the rural barangays, Tuga, Laya West and Bado Dangwa will increasingly
have the highest population density and are the most likely to reach urban status at a rate
faster than the other rural barangays given a corresponding growth in socio-economic
facilities and activities.

A. EDUCATION
A.1 Present Situation
A.1.1 Education Facilities
As of 2013, Tabuk has a total of 124 schools catering to formal education. Pre-
school education is offered in eight private schools in addition to the mandatory kinder
level offered by public elementary schools. Elementary education is made available in 82
public schools and eight (8) private schools. Secondary education is catered to by 15
public schools and five private schools and with 6 schools catering to Tertiary Education.
Under the public elementary school system, the City of Tabuk is subdivided into
four districts: Northern, Southern, Western and Eastern. The Northern Tabuk District
consists of 17 Elementary schools located in 14 barangays and aggregately covering a
total land area of 17.729 hectares. The Southern Tabuk District covers 19 schools in
seven barangays, the school sites occupying a total land area of 41.208 hectares. The
Western Tabuk District includes 26 schools located in 16 barangays, aggregately
occupying a total land area of 27.958 hectares. The Eastern Tabuk District has 19
schools in 9 barangays with a total occupied land area of 24.398 hectares. In total, the
public elementary schools in the city occupy an estimated land area of 111.293 hectares.
This is an average of 1.36 hectares land area per school. Many schools, particularly in
the rural barangays did not meet the standard area requirements of school site for
elementary schools in rural areas as defined under DepEd’s Standards and Guidelines for
Education. Moreover, among the major concerns of schools, particularly the public
elementary and secondary schools, is the security of tenure of lots on which the schools
were built. In Tabuk, only 33 percent (27 schools) of the public elementary school sites
were titled. Most are still covered by deed of donation, tax declaration or Presidential
Proclamation that can be challenged by other people or groups.
In terms of school facilities in public elementary school, all the schools lack
libraries and clinics. All have comfort rooms but 64 percent are in poor condition. All
have their respective playgrounds but are all found to be in critical condition. These
reflect the general inadequacy and poor state of education facilities in the city.

The location of schools are shown in the figure that follows. There is a high
concentration of schools in Bulanao and Dagupan area, the two core urban centers of
Tabuk.

A.1.2 Susceptibility of School Sites to Natural Hazards
Three schools are located in areas that have been generally determined to be
highly susceptible to flooding.These are generally identified as follows:
Schools within areas highly susceptible to flooding:

• Malin-awa E/S
• Basao Isla P/S
• Cabaruan E/S
• Laya Wes E/S
Schools within areas highly susceptible to rain-induced landslides:
• Naneng E/S
• Magnao E/S
• Guilayo E/S
• Malin-awa E/S
• Malin-awa DCC
Schools located in severely eroded areas:
• Namnama E/S
• Southern Tabuk Central School
• Callagdao E/S
• Bulanao East E/S
• Kalinga National High School,
• Holy Trinity Preparatory School,
• Cudal San Isidro E/S
• Cudal NHS
• Kalinga Apayao State College- Bulanao Campus
• Saint Louis College (Elem. Dept.)
• Saint Louis College (College Dept.)
• Saint Williams Academy
• Kalinga-Apayao State College-Laboratory
• Eastern Kalinga National H/S, Malalao
• Agbannawag E/S
• Agbannawag NHS
• New Balbalan P/S
• Agbannawag Hilltop Elementary School
About 50 percent of all schools presently in Tabuk are located within areas
generally delineated to be prone to liquefaction. A more detailed mapping and investigation
need to be undertaken to determine the real extent of susceptibility of these schools to disasters
and the appropriate measures that should be undertaken to reduce risks.
A.1.3 Adequacy of Classrooms and Teachers
The next table provides further indications of the level of adequacy of basic
education facilities and services in Tabuk as of SY 2013-2014. All private schools
providing elementary and secondary level education have student-teacher and student-
classroom ratios that are much lower than the DepEd targets for public schools,
signifying a relatively adequate number of teachers but inadequate number of classrooms
in private schools. On the other hand, for public schools, those at the elementary level
have an average student-teacher ratio of 1:39 and student-classroom ratio of 1:42. Both
these ratios do not meet the DepEd target of 1:35 (equally for teachers and classrooms)
for this school level, indicating the inadequacy of public elementary teachers and
classrooms in Tabuk.
For the secondary level, the student-teacher ratio is 1:40 which meets the target
for this school level. On the other hand, the student-classroom ratio is too high at 1:57,

way above the target of 1:40, indicating that classrooms in Tabuk’s public secondary
schools are overcrowded.

A.1.4 Historical Enrollment by School Level
Enrollment at the Figure III-17. Historical Enrollment at the Elementary &

Secondary Levels, Tabuk: SY 2010-2014
elementary level has
been increasing over the
past years. From 2012
to the present school
year, 2013-2014,
enrollment increased by
12.30 percent. The
increase is much higher
in private schools, at
55.09 percent. For
public schools, the
present enrollment is the
highest in the past four
school years.

Private (no data) (no data) 2,484 2,547 2.54%
Source: Department of Education-Division Office
At the secondary level, enrollment in public schools has been continuously going
down from school years 2010 to 2013. This increased in SY 2013-2014 by a huge
margin of more than 12 percent which, together with the 2.54 percent increase in private
school enrollments, upped the overall secondary level enrollment by 9.67 percent.
A.1.5 Enrollment Participation Ratio in Elementary & Secondary Education
Tabuk’s enrollment participation ratios (EPR) at the elementary and secondary

levels appear to be very high, far exceeding the regional targets for the Cordillera
Administrative Region. However, it should be stressed here that Tabuk, owing to its
status as a city, has a significant, though undetermined, number of day population
comprising mostly of students and pupils from the nearby municipalities. They are
included in the data on enrollment which then bloated the estimates on EPR.

the CBMS survey conducted for from the CBMS Survey Results, Tabuk: 2010
Tabuk in 2010, about 17
percent of the children
population ages 6-12 are not
attending elementary school.
Among children ages 13-16, 35
percent are not attending high
school. From this, EPR can be
estimated at 82.95 percent for
elementary, nearly meeting the
CAR target for this level. EPR
for secondary can be estimated
at nearly 65 percent, far
exceeding the CAR target.

The difference in the data on actual enrollment given by DepEd and the number
of children attending school that resulted from the CBMS survey further suggests that
there are about 11 percent of the elementary pupils and 10 percent of high school students
who are enrolled in schools in Tabuk but are not residents of the city. These form part of
the day population of the city.
A.2 Current & Projected Needs

A.2.1 Current & Projected School-going Age Population
The school-going age population is projected per school level as presented in the
next table. The interpolation method was used to break down the projected population by
5-year age interval (based on NSO age classification as estimated in the previous chapter)
into specific school-going age groups. The ages that comprise the respective school level
population are the expected age levels of pupils/students under the K-12.

A.2.2 Current & Projected Enrollment
The current enrollment in elementary and secondary levels, i.e., SY 2013-‘14 is

based on the data from the DepEd district offices in Tabuk. The projected future
enrollments is estimated given the enrollment participation ratio calculated from the
CBMS survey and the present enrollment vis-à-vis projected populations of the
concerned age groups in the period involved. Future EPRs considered the increments in
the regional EPR target of the DepEd that were applied in the projected population of the
respective school-going population to derive the data on future enrollments. The
projections include enrollment of children from nearby towns, the calculation being a
percentage of the enrollment of pupils/students from Tabuk, also based on the CBMS
survey. This is deemed a realistic projection of total enrollment population that will
impinge on demand for spaces for educational facilities.

A.2.3 Current & Projected Requirements for Classroom and Teacher
The requirements for classrooms and teachers are based on the projected
enrollment as estimated above and given DepEd’s targets on student-classroom and
student-teacher ratios.

The currently available classrooms and teachers cannot adequately meet the
present requirements of school children, except for secondary school teachers where there
is a surplus. If the supply will not be increased in the future, the deficiency will
increasingly become acute.
A.2.4 Current & Projected Space Requirements for Education Facilities
The space requirement for elementary school facilities are estimated as shown in
the table below. These are the minimum requirements estimated based on DepEd’s
Standards and Guidelines for Education. The total present requirement exceeds the total
area of 843,755.50 sq.m.currently occupied by public elementary. However, this is an
aggregation of specific area, of which a number of schools occupy wide spaces but many
still are allocated areas that do not meet the standard minimum space requirement.

Reference: DepEd. Standards and Guidelines for Education
DepEd’s general standard requirements for school site for elementary level are as
follows: a) 1/2 ha. for a non-central school which has only one or two classes and no
grade above Grade IV; b) 1 ha. for a central school which has six classes or for non-
central school which has from three to four classes; c) 2 has. for schools which have
from seven to nine classes; d) 3 has. for schools which have from ten to twelve classes;
and e) 4 has. for schools which have more than twelve classes. However, for special
cases or where there is difficulty in meeting the above standards, the DepEd allows the
following: a) for rural areas: 1/2 ha. for a central school which has six classes and for a
non-central school which has from three to four classes, 1.5 ha. for schools which have

from seven to ten classes, 2 has. for schools which have more than 10 classes; b) For
Urban Areas: 1/2 ha. for central school with 6 classes and non-central schools with 7-10
classes, 3/4 ha. for eleven to twenty classes, 1 ha. for twenty one or more classes.
Many of the elementary schools in Tabuk fall short of these area requirement
standards, even in special cases where the standards are lower.
For secondary education facilities, based on the minimum space standards, the
total present requirement is nearly 650,000 square meters and will reach 700,000 square
meters in SY 2015-2016. The actual areas occupied by secondary schools have yet to be
determined. This will have to be undertaken to ascertain the extent of any deficiencies in
space requirements for secondary school facilities.

B. HEALTH & SANITATION
B.1 Present Situation
B.1.1 General Health Situation
For the past five years an average of 21 people were added to every 1,000
population while an average of 3 people died for every 1,000 population. About thee
infants and one mother died for every 1,000 live births.
An average of 13,831 patients went on health consultation per year with 17,821 as
the highest recorded consultation in 2010 which may indicate increased awareness about
health concerns.
Due to intensified IEC on safe motherhood, facility based deliveries attended by
skilled health personnel, the number of infant and maternal death decreased in the past
two years.

Figure III-19. Mortality & Morbidity, Tabuk: 2006-2010
The decrease in crude birth rate from 2009 to 2010 is partly caused by the higher
contraceptive prevalence rate. This rate was 43.4 percent in 2010 which is much lower
than the 30.2 percent recorded in the previous year. There were a total of 6,247 current
users in 2010, which is 46.51 percent higher than the 4,264 posted in 2009. Still, data
shows that there are more women of reproductive age, about 56 percent, who are not
using any family planning method, or whose family planning needs are not met. This is
due to several factors like religious beliefs, lack of knowledge, stock out, dependent on
free supplies, husband or partner prohibition of use of contraceptives or just plainly
refuses family planning.

Facilities to Flooding, Tabuk City

All public health facilities in Tabuk are functional. These facilities not only cater
to the constituents of Tabuk City, but it also to constituents of nearby municipalities like
Tanudan, Pinukpuk, Rizal, Pasil, Tinglayan and Lubuagan.
In terms of private health facilities, there are three private hospitals located in the
city. One is the Almora General hospital in Bulanao, the other is the St. Jude Hospital in
Dagupan Wester, and the third is the St. Peter Claver Hospital located in Dagupan
Centro. These add 91 more to the total hospital bed capacity and 28 more health workers
serving the City and the province of Kalinga in general. There are additionally 10 private
medical clinics, mostly located in the barangays of Bulanao Norte and Bulanao. These
aggregately have 40 health workers, contributing to the health resources serving the city,
totaling to 195 as of 2011.
B.1.3 Susceptibility of Health Facilities to Flooding

As shown in figure III-21, only the health facility in Cabaruan has been found to
be within areas that are generally highly susceptible to flooding. All others are in low-
susceptibility areas.
B.1.4 Leading Causes of Mortality & Morbidity

From 2008 to 2010, Cardiovascular Disease is still the leading cause of mortality
in the city. Aside from Accident and GSW, the rest are also communicable and lifestyle related.

B.1.5 Nutritional Status

In the past three Figure III-24. Nutritional Status of Children
years, there was an Tabuk: 2008-2010
annual average of 14
percent decrease in the
city’s malnutrition rate
among children 0-71
months old, from a rate
of 9.74 percent in 2008
to 7.28 percent in 2010.
On the other hand, the
number of children
with normal weight
increased by an annual
average of 6 percent
over the three year period. The improvement in the nutrinional status of children is a
result of intensified information and education campaign on nutrition and the
institutionalization of the Garantisadong Pambata Program.

Meanwhile, the persistence of malnutrition in the city can be due to various
factors. Among these is the lack of knowledge on poor food selection and preparation,
poor attitude and practices (laziness and negligence of parents and caregivers), presence
of infectious diseases, all of which are due to poverty.

Bulanao cemetery which serves many of the urban barangays, has already reached
its carrying capacity. The cemetery in Dilag, meanwhile, has almost half of its carrying
capacity filled. The privately-owned cemetery in Magsaysay, which caters only to the
UCCP church members, has filled up more than 80 percent of its capacity. This points to
an immediate need to identify and establish new burial grounds for the urban barangays.

B.1.7 Solid Waste Management

Under RA 9003, Sec. 37 states that no open dumps shall be established and
operated, nor any practice or disposal of solid waste by any person, including LGUs,
which constitutes the use of open dumps for solid waste, be allowed after the effectivity
of RA 9003. Within three (3) years after the effectivity of the Act, every LGU shall
convert its open dumps into controlled dumps, in accordance with the guidelines set in
Section 41 of this Act, provided that no controlled dumps shall be allowed five (5) years
following the effectivity of this Act.
Open dump sites shall not be allowed as final disposal sites. If an open dumpsite
is existing within the city, the Solid Waste Plan shall make provisions for its closure or
eventual phase out within the period specified under the framework and pursuant to the
provisions under Sec. 37 of the Act.
As an alternative, controlled dumpsites shall be developed and operated as final
disposal site for solid and, eventually residual wastes servicing Tabuk city. Strategies
shall be identified to extend life span and capacity of the existing disposal site. Options
for future disposal site, its requirements and the estimated cost for these efforts shall be
part of the program areas that must be reviewed by the MSWMB annually.
At present, the city maintains an open dumpsite located at Barangay Dilag,
having an area of 3.9 hetare. Said dump site is 6.5 km away from the city’s Central
Business District. As it is classified as open dump site, various measures are being done
to convert it into a controlled dump site. Establishment of material recovery facilities,
strict compliance to waste segregation and promotion of recycling are among the positive
steps being carried out in support to the RA 9003.
Tabuk is generating an estimated volume 19.35 cu. m. wastes daily, both residual
and biodegradable wastes. The city government has four dumptrucks for garbage
collection. These are not enough to collect all the wastes being generated. The city needs

at least seven dump trucks with 2.5 loading capacity to collect wastes and make three trips per
day to the dump site.

Generally, liquid wastes are disposed to the drainage systems. In addition to this,
the rainfall discharge accounts to 240.40 mm per year which is discharged to the canals.
Hazardous wastes generated by the hospitals are disposed in their respective

septic tanks, garbage vaults, pits and others are into incinerators. The three funeral parlors
in the city namely, Funeraria Carbonel and Funeraria de Tabuk and TAMPCO Funeral
Parlor also dispose their wastes in septic tanks.

B.2 Current & Projected Needs

B.2.1 Health Resources
In terms of health facilities, Tabuk City, more or less in the next ten years, met
the minimum requirements for hospitals, although these will surely require
upgrading/improvement of hospital facilities and more hospital health workers. The city
government will focus on the establishment and operation of barangay health station
(BHS) being the initial unit which dispense basic health care. Of the 42 barangays, 18
have their respective BHS. From 2014 to 2017, all barangays shall have been provided
their BHS. By the end of the planning period, additional BHS shall have been
established, particularly in the rapidly growing barangays, to meet the standard coverage
of one BHS to 5,000 population.

For RHU health personnel, the estimated present and future needs are in the next
table. The estimates are based on the requirements as per projected population and
applying the standards in RHU personnel population. Note that the number of actual
health personnel in all of Tabuk’s RHUs is below the standard personnel population.
This is except in the case of midwives which appear to exceed the standard but this is
only because it counted the midwives fielded in the existing barangay health stations.

B.2.2 Burial Grounds
From the estimates in the table below, it would appear that available burial
grounds as of 2011 can amply meet the future need for burial plots given projections on
future deaths. However, it should be mentioned here that most of the unused capacities
are in the rural barangays. In the urban barangays, particularly in the urban cores
comprising of Bulanao and Dagupan, the existing cemeteries may not adequately meet
future needs for burial plots, hence alternative sites for public cemeteries to serve the
urban areas will have to be identified and correspondingly designated.

Note:
1/ Projected number of deaths is based on the crude death rate of 2.7 per 1,000 population estimated as of 2010
2/ Projected number of burials in cemeteries is based on an assumption of a 70% participation rate
3/ Area required for burial plots is estimated from the 1m x 2.44m standard area per plot, assuming that 100%
of burials will be single niche per plot
4/ Cemetery space for circulation (internal roads and pathways), open spaces and facility spaces is expected to
be 40% of the total area of the burial ground or cemetery
5/ Area available for burial is as estimated in section B.1.5 above.
B.2.3 Solid Waste and Wastewater Management

The present dumpsite in barangay Dilag covers an area of 3.9 hectares. From the
estimates in the next table, this area is not adequate to serve the needs for a solid waste
disposal area. Tabuk will need nearly 7 hectares in 2014 and 12 hectares at the end of
the planning period. The current area is not being filled as fast as expected mainly due to
the low collection rate of solid wastes, meaning that much of the wastes generated are
being disposed of by some other, more pollutive means and in inappropriate locations.

A 100 percent waste collection will have to be supported by a wider area for and
sustainable system of waste disposal.

• 330 kg/m3 waste density utilized by the DENR
• 10 years residence time
• Landfill depth = 10 meters.
Formula used is: Area Requirement = Waste generated (kg/year) x Residence time (year)

C. HOUSING
C.1 Current Situation
C.1.1 Households & Occupied Dwelling Units
Based on the 2010
Figure III-29. Number of Households &
housing statistics obtained from Occupied Dwelling Units, Tabuk: 2000, 2007 & 2010
the CBMS survey, there were
21,247 housing units in the city
occupied by 21,292 households.
The bigger number of households
suggests the existence of
doubled-up households, where
one dwelling unit is shared by
two or more households. These
doubled-up households form part
of the housing backlog.

C.1.2 Housing Backlog Figure III-30. Existing Housing Units & Housing
Backlog Tabuk City: 2010
The housing
backlog estimated as of
2010 is 603 housing units
(HU). This accounts for
three percent of the total
housing needs in Tabuk
City in the said period.
Unacceptable housing
units (i.e., HU with walls
and roof made of wood,
cogon/ nipa/anahaw,
asbestos and others) accounts for the biggest number of the estimated housing backlog.
These are the units that need major repair or complete replacement.

Note that the city has no homeless households under housing backlog. Hence, the
specific groups under the housing backlog, except for the doubled-up housing, are
counted as part of the occupied housing units estimated as of 2010. As such, the 2010
requirement in terms of number of housing units per se can be derived by adding the

doubled-up households (this being the group in need of additional HU) with the existing
housing units. This is estimated at a total of 21,292 housing units. About three percent
of these are considered as housing backlog.
C.1.3 Informal Settlement Areas

C.1.4 Residential Subdivisions

Tabuk has a total of 22 residential subdivisions as of 2010. These are located in
nine barangays and cover an aggregate area of 68.96 hectares. The biggest area is in
Bulanao where residential subdivisions measure 52.22 hectares, accounting for 75
percent of the total area of residential subdivisions in Tabuk for the said period.
Although most of the subdivisions are located in sites zoned for residential purposes, 16
percent of the total subdivision area is still zoned as agricultural land which includes
those used as irrigated rice lands.

C.1.9 Susceptibility of Residential Areas to Natural Hazards

The existing residential areas are shown in figure III-37. Figures III-38 to III-41
indicate the locations of built-up areas, that include the residential lands, as they are
located vis-à-vis general hazard zones. Note that some residential areas in the barangays
of Cabaruan, Laya West and Dagupan are located in areas that are highly susceptible to
flooding. Meanwhile, some residential areas in parts of Nambaran, Lacnog, Balawag,
Malalao, Cudal, Malin-awa, Balawag, Amlao and Nambucayan are found in areas
affected by severe erosion. Furthernore, a number of settlement in Dupag, Guilayon and
Magnao are located in areas highly susceptible to rain-induced landslide. Most of the
settlements in the urban areas are located in parts that are highly susceptible to
liquifaction. These are concerns that need to be addressed in settlements planning for
Tabuk.

C.2 Current & Projected Needs
C.2.1 Housing Needs
The housing backlog of 603 in 2010 is assumed to increase by the same rate as
population growth. Hence, at the end of 2012, housing backlog is calculated to increase
to 633 housing units. To address this backlog, the target is to equally distribute this
number over the 10-year planning period, from 2013 to 2022. At the end of 2022, the
backlog shall be zero. The annual backlog target to be met is set at 63 to 64 housing units.

1/ Housing Backlog : Backlog in Year t = Backlog in Year t-1 – (Backlog in 2012 / 10)
2/ Increase in the number of HH is estimated using the population average annual growth rate of 4.94% from
2010 to 2015, 7.21% from 2016 to 2020 and 6.07 from 2020 to 2022.
HH Fomation in Year t = No. of HH in Year t – No. of HH in Year t-1
Figure III-39. Current and Projected Housing Need, Tabuk City
The household formation due to increase is population is estimated using the

projected growth of number of households from 2010 upto 2022. The household formation
is the incremental increase in the number of households in the periods concerned.
C.2.2 Land Requirement for Shelter

Tabuk’s existing residential area measures 1,099 hectares. Againts the 2010
population of 21,292 households, this yields an average area of 516 sq.m. residential area
per household. By the end of the planning period, in year 2022, the number of
households is expected to reach 43,185. Sixty percent (60%) of this will be in the urban
areas and the remaining 40 percent will be in the rural areas.
Presidential Decree No. 957 provides a minimum of 100 square meters per lot
plus allowance for open space such as parks, roads and facilities. For planning purposes,
the housing space requirement in the urban areas shall be differentiated from the housing
requirement in the rural areas. The following assumptions are used, with each
household/dwelling unit provided with residential lot:
• urban area = 250 square meters per household
• rural area = 300 square meters per household.

The resulting estimates are shown in the table that follows. Under the aforesaid
assumptions, a total of 1,166 hectares will be needed for housing purposes. This is a six
percent (equal to 67 has.) increase from the present area of residential lands. This
expansion requirement will be lessened if residential development will be pursued
vertically rather than horizontally, particularly in the highly urbanized barangays.

D. SOCIAL WELFARE
D.1 Present Situation
D.1.1 Social Welfare Facilities & Services
Tabuk City has 99 day care centers (DCC), six Senior Citizens Center, one
Livelihood Center, one Women’s Center and one Youth Center. These are the main
social welfare facilities under the City Government of Tabuk.
The City of Tabuk implemented the program enforced through the Republic Act
8980 or the Early Childhood Care and Development Act or the ECCD Law which aims to
take care and ensure the development of the Filipino child at an early age. Through this
Act, day care centers in each of the barangays have been established purposesly to help in
the developmental needs of 3 to 5 year old children. Some barangays have more than one
day care because of higher and more rapid growth of population of children in need. The
existing DCC buildings are generally in fair condition.
The City of Tabuk has one model Senior Citizen Center located in barangay
Dagupan Centro nearby the City hall. The building is made of concrete materials with an
area of 150 square meters. This is in part of the City’s pursuance to RA 7876, “An Act
Establishing a Senior Citizens Center in all Cities and Municipalities and Appropriating
Funds Therefor.” The Center is under the direct supervision of the Department of Social
Welfare and Development, in collaboration with the city government.
The Women Center located in Bulanao Centro is presently used by the Tabuk
City Women’s Federation. It serves as, among others, their training and livelihood
center. The facility is supported by 20 Women’s Center established by the barangay
chapters of the Federation.

clienteles, historically, are the distressed families. Their number peaked in 2009,
accounting for 64 percent of the total population served under the social welfare services
of the city government. This percentage, however, dropped to 41 percent in 2010. In the
latter year, the highest increase in terms of clientele groups served are the disadvantaged
women.

Data suggests that the poverty situation in Tabuk have worsened from 2007 to
2010. The groups that appear to have been most affected are disadvantaged women and
persons with disability. Note that these are the groups that experienced the highest
increases in the population of social welfare and development clientele system.
Figure III-41. Number of Population Served by Type of Clientele System

Source: CLGU/CSWDO/Senior Citizen; NSCB (2007 poverty data); CBMS Survey (2010 poverty data)

Across barangays, the most number of clienteles are from the urban areas,
particularly the highly urbanized barangays of Bulanao and Dagupan. This suggest that
social welfare needs may tend to increase with rising urbanization, maybe due to
growing social problems and fall outs associated with the latter.

The DCCs that are located within areas highly susceptible to flooding are the
Laya West DCC and Malin-awa DCC. The DCCs within areas highly susceptible to rain-
induced landslides are Guilayon DCC in Agcawili and Malin-awa DCC. Those located
in severely eroded areas are: Bulanao Centro Namnama DCC, Purok 6 Bulanao Centro
DCC, Linglingay DCC in Balawag and Paligatto Day Care Center. More than half of the
99 day care centers are within areas susceptible to liquefaction. These sites should be
further investigated to determine the degree of hazard and the corresponding risk-
reduction measures that need to be undertaken.

D.2 Current & Projected Needs

In terms of day care centers, the 99 DCCs currently present in Tabuk can meet
the needs of DCCs in the next ten years based on the standard of 500 families to one
DCC. However, considering the rugged terrain and dispersed distribution of settlements
in many areas of the city, this standard may not apply in all the barangays and may
require additional DCCs as population increases.
More center-based facilities will also be required to provide 24-hour residential

services to clientele groups like youth offenders, drug dependents, girls and women in
especially difficult circumstances, persons with disabilities, and senior citizens/elderlies
and other clients with special needs who cannot benefit from community-based services.
Additional facilities for livelihood enhancement purposes for disadvantaged groups will
also be needed.

The following area requirements are proposed which should already be present at
the end of the ten year plan implementation period:
• Youth Center : 1,000 sq.m.
• Senior Citizen Center : 1,000 sq.m.
• Persons with disabilities (children & adults): 1,000 sq.m.
• Facility for other clients with special needs: 1,000 sq.m.
• Center for girls and women in
specially difficult circumstance : 1,000 sq.m.
Total area required : 5,000 sq.m.

E. PROTECTIVE SERVICES
E.1 Present Situation
E.1.1 Protective Service Facilities, Equipment and Personnel
The city’s protective services are under the Philippine National Police, Bureau of
Fire Protection and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penalogy. Every barangay also
has their respective barangay tanods and a special organization for disaster purposes
which are under the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (CDRRMC).
The next table lists the facilities, equipment and personnel for protective services
in Tabuk as of 2010. The inadequacy of equipment and personnel is very evident.

The Police Headquarters at Dagupan, Tabuk City is located beside the national
road at the side of the City building. It occupies an area of 1,000 sq. meters. The station is
manned by 82 police personnel. It is equipped with four motorcycles, three mobile patrol
vehicle, firearms of various types and communication facilities. Said station has a jail
facility with one cell besides the City building.
Based on the National Police Commission Qualification Standard, Tabuk City
Police Station is classified as class “A” Station, which has a standard requirement of one
policeman for every 500 inhabitants and a lot area of 2,500 sq.meters. The present
manpower complement and station lot area are far inadequate vis-à-vis these standards.
The City in its effort to sustain the millennium goal of a peaceful community has
its police sub-station and barangay outposts to cater the 42 barangays within the
jurisdiction. As such, the occurrence of crimes is prevented due to the visibility of peace
keepers or law enforcers in their respective areas of responsibility.
The activation of barangay tanods and organization of Barangay Peacekeeping
Action Teams (BPAT) by the PNP aims to address peace and order and public safety
concerns in the context of community-based management and development. As of 2010,
all 42 barangays have their respective BPATs with a total number of barangay tanods at
881.

The Tabuk City Fire Station, meanwhile, is manned by 20 personnel and operates
with two firetrucks. The minimum standard manning level is one fireman to 2,000
population and equipment level of one firetruck to one fireman. There is a clear need to
increase Tabuk’s fire protection manpower and, with it, its equipment support.
For jail management, the City of Tabuk maintains a district jail and provincial jail
for the benefit of the prisoners. The jail rooms for women offenders are separated from
that of male though all of them are equally accommodated regardless of the degree of
their offense.
The number of jailed individuals decreased as a result of the Matagoan Bodong

Consultative Council (MBCC) which fervently encourage respondents and claimants
(except heinous crimes) to settle their cases out of court to do away with high cost and
long time of litigation.

E.1.2 Crime Incidence

Figure III-47. Crime Incidence, Tabuk City: 2007-2010
Tabuk as a
promising City of Kalinga
has been long struggling
with respect to its peace and
order situation.
Nevertheless, assigned law
enforcers detailed in every
station and outposts are
doing their tasks in
coordination with the
different Matagoan Bodong
Consultative Council,
Barangay Peacekeeping
Action Teams and other
organized groups to
maintain the equilibrium
within the City as well as its Source: Bureau of Jail Mgt and Penology, Philippine National Police
adjacent jurisdiction.
Evidently, the increase in the population ratio of Tabuk is accompanied by the
rising of crime incidence in the locality. The volume of crime had increased from 2007 to
2010, at an average rate of 19 percent per annum. There has been a difference of at least
25 crime cases from the year 2007 to date 2010. The highest rate was between 2009 and
2010 when total volume of crimes rose by 45 percent, greater in cases of physical
injuries, theft and homicide. This is indeed a significant increase that will have to be

addressed, requiring expansion local peace keeping capacities in terms of manpower,
equipment and facilities.
E.1.3 Fire Incidence

Fire incidence had been rising from 2006 to 2008 and going down from 2008 to
2010. Unattended lighted candle is common the cause of domestic fires while thrown
lighted objects along roadways caused most of the grass fires and open flames. Most of
the fires in the past years happened in Bulanao and Dagupan, specifically of electrical
and grassfire origins.

F. SPORTS & RECREATION
F.1 Present Situation

At present, various private and public organizations are engaged in the promotion
and development of sports in the city. In addition, the Kabataang Barangay Chairman of
the different communities regularly initiate the conduct of inter-district and inter-
barangay basketball and volleyball tournaments, especially during fiestas and City
Foundation and/or local activities like Barangay League.
Most of the youth in the locality have shown their special interest on ball games
and other sports. Hence, the availability of complete facilities helps them to upgrade or
enhance their skills. The sports and recreation facilities/amenities were established
through the initiative of the SK Federation and with the assistance of the city government
that supported these activies for the training and development of potential athletes in the
locality. Among the major sports facilities of Tabuk is the Athletic Field that was
developed when the province of Kalinga hosted the Cordillera Administrative Region
Athletic Association (CARAA). It is located in Bulanao Centro and occupies an area of
45,000 sq.m, public. Furthermore, every barangay has a public and privately owned open
courts being used to enhance the youth’s sports skills in basketball and volleyball.

F.2 Current & Future Needs
Tabuk still lacks a public city park and neighborhood parks to serve the present
and future recreational needs of its population. For the latter, the future requirement is
determined at one public neighborhood park per barangay whether to augment or entirely
be part of the playgrounds now made available in public schools. There shall also be at
least one basketball and volleyball courts per barangay. The present sports facilities at
the CARAA sports ground and those available at the higher education institutions in the
city can adequately serve the city-wide need of Tabuk for sports purposes, but not
precluding needed expansion for provincial and higher level purposes. Hence, local
public sports facilities shall focus on developing those at the barangay level.

or rice granary of the Cordilleras owing to its vast and fertile agricultural lands. More
than a third of the city’s land area (27,882.50 hectares or 36% of total) is devoted to
agricultural production. Nearly half of the total agricultural lands of Tabuk is planted to
rice. For corn, there were 5,107 hectares planted with various varieties. Other crops
include coffee, corn root crops, vegetable, banana and legumes.

Cropping Season. There are only two major cropping seasons followed by
farmers in Tabuk. First cropping season commences on the early part of June depending
on the availability of water supply and will end on October to November depending on
the majority period of the year for major crops like corn, vegetables and root crops.
Second cropping proceeds immediately after harvesting which often starts during the
months of November up to May in the succeeding year.
Farmers and Farming Practices. It is estimated that Tabuk has about 32,566
farmers. As far as technology and farm practices are concerned, the City Agriculturist
Office in coordination with national and other line agencies extend different agricultural
programs by extending various support service to its clientele.
A.1.2 Poultry & Livestock
Grazing/pasture lands for livestock (cattle and carabao) measure 9,795 hectares,
about 13 percent of the total land area of Tabuk. The value of livestock production, Php
90 milion in 2012, is many times higher than the value crop production discussed in the
foregoing. This makes livestock production a major contributor to the economic growth
of the city.

Barangay Bulo has the widest grazing area for cattle and Barangay Lacnog for
carabaos. All livestock are commercially produced and locally marketed. Livestocks
produced in 2012 is estimated at 4,554 total heads of cattles and carabaos, mostly cattle.
For poultry, there were 17,000 heads produced in 2012 from a total of 1.54 hectares of
poultry farm, most of which were in Dilag.
The livestock density per unit of grazing land, on the average, is 2.15 hectares to
one livestock (cattle or carabao). This is a little denser than in 2007’s 2.40 hectares to
one livestock.
Compared to 2007, the area of pasture lands for cattle and carabao is lower in
2012 by 13 percent. The number of carabaos likewise declined but the number of cattles
increased. Inspite of the general decline in livestock production, production value still
grew. This is because of the rise in the farm-gate price of cattle and carabao, from Php
16,935 per head in 2007 to Php 19,000 per head in 2012.

A.1.3 Fisheries
There are two types of sources of fish supply in the locality, namely, communal
bodies of water and individual fishpond owners. The communal bodies of water being
used as fishing grounds have an aggregate area of about 1,019 hectares. The total volume
of fish catch from these sources is estimated at 70,075 kilograms in 2007. Production is
still very low (68 kilograms per hectare for the entire year of 2007) inspite of attempts at
production management and the regular stocking of fingerlings being done by the
government. The proliferation of illegal fishing, with the use of unsustainable fishing
practices, is among the major reasons for the low fish catch from the city’s communal
bodies of water.

* Commercial Fishponds
Source: Office of the City Agriculturist
Another source is backyard fishpond. There are 88 backyard fishpond raisers in

the city with a total fishpond area of 22 hectares. Most of these farms are producing
mainly for household consumption; only two fishponds, located in Ipil and Laya West,
are on commercial operation. Hence, the estimated total production of 21,954 kilograms
in 2007 could not meet the actual fish requirement of the populace. Tabuk has to rely on
other provinces specifically Cagayan, Isabela, and even Bulacan and Pampanga, for its
fish supply. About 40 percent of the supply is from outside Tabuk.
A.1.4 Forestry
The area of forestland in Tabuk is 54,654.25 heactares, accounting for 70.57

percent of the total area land area of the city. The forest land is further classified into
unclassified forest and permanent forest/timberland. There are no areas declared as
NIPAS within the City, however, protection forest based on slope and elevation is
estimated at 3,750 hectares. These areas were segregated by the DENR for forest
protection under co-management between the LGU and the DENR by virtue of a
Memorandum of Agreement. The production forest has a total area of 50,904.25 hectares
which is 93.14 percent of the total forest lands of Tabuk.

A.1.6 Agricultural Occupations/Groups
In 2012, there were 17,668 people engaged in various agricultural occupations,

both as major and minor source of income. This is about 47 percent of the total
employed, making agriculture the primary source of income in the city. The bulk of
people in agricultural occupations, at 46 percent, are own-farm operations. Coming far
second are farm workers, 26 percent. And the third in the top three are the crop farmers,
13 percent. The livestock and poultry farmers comprise only four percent of the total but
note that their produce counts significantly in terms of gross value. Nearly 99 percent of
those in agricultural occupations, as expected, are in the rural areas. Most of those in
urban areas are the own-farm operation.

A.1.7 Agrarian Related Concerns
In the Cordillera Administrative Region, Tabuk ranks first among the
municipalities and cities that have distributed wide areas of landholdings under PD 27
and the CARP. To focus CARP resources and development efforts, Agrarian Reform
Communities have been established nationwide. These ARCs shall eventually serve as
economic growth points in the rural countryside. The barangays were selected based on
wide hectarage of agricultural lands distributed among so many farmers under the
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program.
The PBD component of the CARP in Tabuk is concentrated on social
infrastructure building and provision of essential agriculture-related services. It includes
the following functions: community organizing, cooperative assistance, information
dissemination and popular education, project development, implementation and
monitoring.

Agrarian reform in
Tabuk City covers a total area Figure III-59. Status of Agrarian Reform Coverage
of nearly 379 hectares, Tabuk: 2010
accounting for two percent of
the city’s total rice and corn
lands estimated in 2012. The
area for the agrarian reform
communities (ARC) comprise
70 percent of the agrarian
reform total coverage, the rest
are non-ARCs. All of the
non-ARC coverage are in the
rural barangays while 91
percent of the ARC areas are
in the urban barangays. The
total area already covered
measures 188 hectares which
is nearly half of the total

coverage. Actually covered is slightly higher for the ARCs than the non-ARCs. The total
number of agrarian reform beneficiaries is 327, of which 55 percent are already
registered. The area per beneficiary averages at 1.16 hectares. .
A.1.8 Agriculture Related Projects in CY 2012

The agriculture related projects approved/funded for implementation in CY 2012
is listed in the next table. The projects cover physical infrastructures (farm-to-market
roads, irrigations systems, other infrastructure support), production and post-harvest

A.2.1 Projected Future Supply of Selected Commodities
Projected future food supply is calculated for rice, vegetables and fish. These
were estimated based on the assumption that the most recent production area, i.e, in 2012,
will be maintained to the future. The assumption on yield per hectare is taken from the
highest yield realized from the data available between 2009 and 2012. The results are in
the table below.
Table III-72. Projected Future Supply of Selected Commodities, Tabuk City

Future Future
Area Yield per Recovery
Production Supply per
(Ha.) Hectare Rate
per Year (MT) Year3/ (MT)
Rice 1/ 13,440 5.69 MT 152,947 60% 91,768
Vegetables 1/ 123 3.20 MT 787 65% 512
Fish 2/ 99 79

Small Water Impounding Proj. 7.100 80 kg 1 80% 1
Fishpond 22 1,000 kg 22 80% 18
Notes:
1/ Yield per hectare for rice and vegetable is on a per cropping basis. The 5.69 MT yield is the highest recorded
yield and it was realized in 2009 There are two croppings in one year. Hence, future production per year is
estimated thus: yield per ha. x area x 2
2/ The data on yield per hectare for fish is on an annual basis. These are the highest yields realized at the farm
level under the corresponding type of fishing ground. Future production per year is calculated as: (yield per
ha. x area) / 1000
3/ Future supply per year = future production per year – (future production per year x % post harvest losses)
A.2.2 Projected Future Food Requirement
The future food requirement is estimated from standards on per capita dietary
requirement for agricultural food products. These standards were multiplied with the
projected population to arrive at the future annual food requirement for specific
agricultural commodities.

Note: Standard per capita dietary requirement is as recommended by the Food and Nutrition Resource Council in
projecting the dietary/ food requirement for planning purposes (CLUP Guidebook Vol 2, p. 152)

A.2.3 Comparison Between Food Requirement and Supply
The comparison of projected food requirement and supply from local sources for
selected products are shown in the table below. Tabuk will continue to generate great
surplus in rice. Twenty two percent (22 %) of local rice production volume within the
ten year plan time-frame can fully meet the requirement for cereal and cereal products
within the same period, which means that 78 percent can be supplied to the rest of the
CAR and other nearby regions. On the other hand, Tabuk will incur deficits in
vegetables and fish. The projected vegetable production can meet only eight percent of
the city’s vegetable requirement for the ten year planning period and fish production can
supply barely one percent of the city’s needs for fish, meat and poultry.

B. COMMERCE, TRADE & INDUSTRY
B.1.1 Area and Location of Commercial Establishments
Tabuk City is the commercial center of the province of Kalinga. Education and
banking institutions as well as other business activities such as health and wellness,
agribusiness, information technology, and tourism-related enterprises have rapidly
flourished to address the demands of the increasing population in the capital city.
Aside from being the rice granary of the Cordilleras, Tabuk is also a major
producer of processed foods and wines including Kalinga’s famous coffee contributing to
the household’s alternative sources of revenue.
Tabuk’s commercial area covers an aggregate hectarage of 336.75 as of 2012.

This accounts for 0.43 percent of the city’s total land area and 15 percent of the total built
up area. The two major market centers are located in Bulanao and Dagupan Centro.
Other barangays of Tabuk as well as other municipalities of the province obtain their
basic and prime necessities from the major commercial establishments clustered at these
two economic centers.
B.1.2 Commercial Establishments
As can be gleaned from the data below, the number of establishments increased
from 2007 to 2011. The total number of business name registrations increased from 216
in 2007 to 613 in 2011. The dominant commercial establishment per business name
registration, is on wholesale and retail trade that accounts for 59 percent of the total
number of establishments registered in 2011. Coming far behind are food and service
activities and communications and information technology. Agriculture is the primary
source of income of the peole of Tabuk City, but very few farmers actually register their
farms as a commercial establishment.
In terms of
average annual Figure III-61. Inventory of Commercial Establishments

increase, the top three
growing
establishments from
2007 to 2011 are:
communications and
information tech-
nology; transportation;
and, wholesale and
retail trade. Tailing
these are food
processing and food
service activities.
These establishments
belong to the services
and industry sectors
that are typically the
drivers of economic
growth in cities and
urban areas.

In terms of mining, the only mining activities being done in the city are small-
scale gold panning in the Guilayon area and sand and gravel quarrying along the length
of the Chico River within Tabuk. Mineral resources found in the city are gold and copper.
Allegedly, oil can be found at Cudal as claimed by an exploration done in the early 80’s
by Philippine Oil Drilling Incorporation.
For employment generation, from 2010 to 2011, the total number of persons
employed by the registered commercial establishments increased by 25 percent, from
1,217 persons in 2010 to 1,525 in 2011. The increase in the number of establishments is
at a higher rate, 32 percent, which means that the recently registered establishments may
be employing, in general, slightly lesser number of persons than in 2010 (from an overall
average of 2.5 employed persons per establishment in 2010 to 2.3 persons per
establishment in 2011).
Trading and food service establishments generated much of the employment in

2010 and 2011 as these are also the establishments with the most number. At the per
establishment level, the top employment generators from 2010 to 2011 are: mining at 45
persons per establishment; hotels and restaurants with an average employed persons of 11
per establishment; and construction at seven persons employed per establishment.

B.1.3 Scale of Business Operation

Data from 2004 Figure III-64. Average Capital Size Per Business Name
to 2008 show that all of Registered Per Business Sector, Tabuk City, 2004-2008
the businesses
registered in Tabuk are
micro to cottage
industry types with an
overall average
capitalization size of a
little more than half a
million. Agricultural
business ranks the
lowest, indicating that
operation is mostly
labor-intensive,
employing primarily
household members.
The services sector
recorded the highest
capitalization which shows a relatively higher capitalization required for such assets as
equipment to establish businesses like transportation, communication/IT and food
services.

B.1.4 Employment
The number of
employed persons in Tabuk Figure III-65. Employed Persons By Sector
Tabuk City: 2010
in 2010 is estimated at
36,560, based on the results
of the CBMS survey. (This
is much greater than the
employment data by
commercial establishments
as presented in the
foregoing section because
the latter captures only
those employed as per
DTI’s business name
registration; it does not
include those employed by
establishments and income
generating activities not registered with DTI). This number of employed persons yields a
98.35 percent employment rate for the year.
Nearly half of the employed persons are in the agriculture sector. Almost 43
percent are in the service sector, the rest in the industry sector. The major source of
income remains to be agriculture together with a rapidly growing services sector and
developing industry sector. This is a positive trend towards the city’s desired
development direction which is agri-industrialization. Tabuk is maintaining its
agriculture as the base of its economic development.

The development of Tabuk’s commerce and industry is hampered by a number of
concerns. These can be summarized as follows:
• Inadequate market facilities
• Low marketability of local products
• Limited local investment reqources and economic activities
• Weak LGU support for fledgling entrepreneurs
• High cost of utilities (electricity and water)
Addressing these concerns will significantly accelerate the growth of commerce

and industry in the city.
Future developments will be geared towards light to medium processing

industries consistent with the agri-industrialization development strategy being pursued
by the city government for Tabuk. Among the facilities required will be:
• Market facilities
• Toll packaging center
• Agri-industrial complex for light to medium scale operation
• Trading center
• Technology livelihood and development center
The area occupied by or used for commercial and industrial establishments and
activities is 336.75 hectares as of 2012. In 2008, the commercial area in the major urban
barangays, namely Dagupan Centro, Poblacion, Dagupan Weste and Casigayan was
20.34 hectares. These barangays roughly account for 60 percent of the total commercial
areas in Tabuk. This means an increase of about 45 hectares of commercial areas every
year. Assuming this trend will continue in the next ten years, the total area of
commercial lands will reach 607 hectares in 2022, the last year of the plan period. This
will be an additional area of 270 hectares, an 80 percent increase from the present area of
commercial lands.
The locations of proposed commercial areas are shown in the figure below.
Expansion will be in the highly urbanized areas with generally contiguous commercial
strips along the national road to connect the central business districts in Bulanao and
Dagupan. The proposed locations have surrounding road patterns and accessibility that
allow visibility, full utilization of business potentials and can maximize foot traffic.
For industrial establishments, the estimates on the future area requirement

consider the role of the city as the regional agri-industrial center of the CAR. Industrial
areas will be zoned for light industries principally for non-pollutive/non-hazardous types
and for medium industries principally for pollutive/non-hazardous types. The area
requirement is then calculated as follows:

C. TOURISM
C.1 Present Situation
C.1.1 Inventory of Tourist Attractions
Tabuk City boasts of diverse land forms and distinct cultural heritage that defines
its uniqueness as a tourist destination. It encompasses wide plains of fertile agricultural
lands, fanning out into mountains that peak to more than 1,000 meters above sea level to
join the rugged topography of its neighboring towns in the interiors of Kalinga. As
diverse as the place are the people who live there. Tabuk City is home to eight sub-tribes
of the Kalinga people whose indigenous cultural heritage is kept alive until today.
The tourism promotion of the City is anchored on these assets. Current tourism
promotion banners Tabuk’s main attraction, white water rafting along Chico River which
is drawing more and more foreign visitors into the City and for which Tabuk is popularly
dubbed as the white water rafting capital of northern Philippines. Its world-class tourism
appeal has already been recognized and accounts as a major reason for the upsurge of
tourist arrivals in Tabuk over the recent years. Other than this, the City is also rich in
natural, cultural and other assets that have strong tourism potentials. These are described
in the table below. Most of the sites are of the nature type of tourist attractions that
showcase the mountains and river landscapes of the City.

Location of Tourist Attractions
Tabuk City, 2012
C.1.2 Inventory of Tourism Establishments

Tourism in the city supports and is supported by a total of 70 tourism
establishments, almost all of which are privately owned. These include accommodation
establishments, travel agencies, transport operators, dining establishments, banking
services, sports and recreation facilities, communication establishments and shopping
facilities. All these establishments are intended to cater to local clients/customers and
national and international tourists, making it imperative to ensure that they comply with
quality tourist service standards.
Tabuk City has a total of 15 accommodation establishments. Only four of these
are accredited by the Department of Tourism. The total number of rooms is 163 with a
capacity of 430 guest-nights. These accommodation establishments generated
employment for a total of 109 persons, an average of two persons to three rooms, notably
below manpower standards for hotel operation.
In terms of dining establishment, the City has a total of 30 such establishments, 15
of which are restaurants with an average seating capacity of 55. Most of these restaurants
are part of the services of accommodation establishments. These dining establishments
generated employment for 131 persons, an average of four employees per restaurant
which is also way below the manpower requirement for restaurant operation.
For shopping facilities, Tabuk City has one supermarket, two public markets and
nine souvenir and delicacy shops that are concentrated in Bulanao and Dagupan
On access, the most common type of public taransport within the City is by
jeepney and tricycle that service all barangays. However, existing roads, particularly
those leading to the upland areas, stop mostly at the center or sitio proper, with no last
mile access to the other sitios of the barangays including the tourist attractions.
Connectivity with other cities/urban areas in Luzon is made possible through the
six bus lines that link Tabuk with Manila, Baguio City, Pangasinan and Tuguegarao.
There is only one travel agency operating in Tabuk. More of this type of tourism
establishment will have to be encouraged in order to effectively promote the city as a
tourist destination.

Recreational facilities are also present in the City. The biggest is the Kaiinga
Sports Complex located in Bulanao and being operated by the provincial government of
Kalinga. The facilities here include a swimming pool, an astrodome and an oval for
outdoor sports like baseball and track and field.
Tabuk’s financial sector is thriving with five financial establishments currently
operating in the city. These include three national banks, i.e., Land Bank of the
Philippines, Development Bank of the Philippines and the Philippine National Bank, a
rural bank and a cooperative bank. Almost all of these are located in Dagupan.
In terms of communication facilities, mobile phone services are available through
SMART and GLOBE that established their respective cell sites in Tabuk. Cellular signal
covers most of the city except in upland areas where the signal is blocked by mountain
peaks. Mail and package delivery services are being provided by the LBC and JRS,
complementing that of the Bureau of Post. Four internet cafes further provide
communication services via the worldwide web, in addition to the internet connections
available in most of the accommodation establishments.
One can easily note the concentration of tourism establishments in Dagupan
Centro (Poblacion) and Bulanao areas. These two barangays are evidently the tourism
service centers of the City. These are the highly urbanized areas of the city and are
connected by a wide national road that makes them very proximate to each other. At
present, the travel between these two centers takes only about five minutes. These
service centers provide the needed facilities and amenities for the tourist attractions
located in other parts of the city, hence, the physical link is very critical. At present, the
connecting roads are mostly of poor condition, particularly to the west and southwest
areas of the City. This is a present weakness that needs to be addressed if tourism
potentials are to be developed.

For the tourist attractions, the condition of last mile access is described in the
table that follows. Present access is difficult to the adventure landscape destinations on
the western side of the City and on the areas east of Chico River. On the other hand,
travel to the attractions along the Chico River, city center and the eastern area is greatly
facilitated by the good road conditions.

C.1.4 Tourism Support Infrastructures & Facilities

In terms of utilities, Tabuk City has a water district that has service connections
to Bulanao and Dagupan Centro and six other barangays adjacent to these areas. It is
estimated that the Tabuk Water System is capable of serving 7,469 households, which is
roughly 47 percent of the 2010 population of the City. The other areas are served by
level I and II water systems that tap from the abundant water sources (i.e., springs) within
the city.

For electricity, the Kalinga Electric Cooperative (KAELCO) is able to energize all
the barangays within Tabuk City. It is now expanding towards providing electricity
down to the sitios. At present, pending development of the proposed Kalinga Province
Micro-Hydroelectric Power and other proposed renewable energy supply in the City of
Tabuk, KAELCO renewed its contract with National Power Corporation (NPC) another
year for the continuous supply of electric power in the province. KAELCO’s present load
is 3.8MW and already 85 percent loaded. However, it can still supply a continuous and reliable
power demand for Tabuk City as well as other towns of Kalinga and Apayao province.
On communication facilities, mobile phone services are available through

SMART and GLOBE that established their respective cell sites in Tabuk. Cellular signal
covers most of the city except in upland areas where the signal is blocked by mountain
peaks. Mail and package delivery services are being provided by the LBC and JRS,
complementing that of the Bureau of Post. Four internet cafes further provide
communication services via the worldwide web, in addition to the internet connections
available in most of the accommodation establishments.
For health and sanitation, Tabuk’s existing local health system and its waste
management facilities that are available to the general public can also support the needs
of the city’s tourism sector. These will, however, have to be further expanded and
developed in the future to adequately meet the requirements for increased tourist arrivals
to the city.
C.1.5 Tourism Market Situation
Tourist Arrivals. Figure III-69. Tourist Arrivals, Tabuk City: 2001-2011

At present, Tabuk City
is primarily a domestic
destination with 89
percent of all arrivals
over the past ten year
accounted for by
domestic travelers.
Foreign tourists
accounted for only nine
percent of arrivals,
highest in 2004 and
2006 when foreign
travelers comprised
more than 20 percent of arrivals in these years.

The tourist arrivals in Tabuk accounted for all the arrivals in the province of
Kalinga. However, this is a share of only three percent of the annual arrivals in the
Cordillera Administrative Region, tailing Mt. Province that shared four percent.
Tourist arrivals substantially increased from 2001 to 2007 when it peaked at more
than 40,000. In the following years, however, arrivals generally declined, down to
25,478 in 2011. Nonetheless,
an overall increase can be Figure III-70. Foreign Tourist Arrivals
noted, by an average of 30 Tabuk City: 2011
percent per annum over the
past 10 years and by two
percent per annum in the last
five years.
In terms of the foreign

tourists, the biggest markets
are from USA, France and
United Kingdom. These
aggregately comprise 75
percent of foreign tourist
arrivals in 2011. The tourists
from USA, particularly Source: DOT-CAR
accounted for nearly a third of
foreign arrivals.
Occupancy Rate and Figure III-71. Utilization of Accommodation

Accommodation Estab-
lishments. The occupancy
rate of accommodation
facilities is 28 percent as of
2011. This is a big decline
from the 40 percent posted in
the previous year. The
number of tourist arrivals
over these periods explains
this reduction in the
utilization of accommodation
facilities. The length of stay
is generally constant at 1.55
days.

C.1.6 Potential Tourist Products
The potential tourist products/activities listed in the table below are proposals
generated through a tourism planning workshop with the local tourism stakeholders held
third quarter of 2011.
Tabuk City is endowed with diverse natural resources and distinct cultural
heritage that defines its unique sense of place. The proposals aim to anchor Tabuk’s
tourism aspirations on these endowments. The encouraging experience and learnings

from the white water rafting attraction gave the city the momentum to further draw upon
the tourism value of other potential sites, and to foster community stewardship over these
areas while providing fun and memorable experiences for tourists.

C.2 Current & Future Requirements

Tourist arrival in Tabuk City is projected to increase to more than 50,000 in year
2015 from the nearly 36,500 recorded inyear 2010 following the growth target set at the
National Tourism Development Plan 2011-2016. Even with only white water rafting as
the main attraction, Tabuk was able to generate in 2010 about 70 percent of this projected
arrivals, highest at more than 40,000 in 2007. With the development of the other
attractions, it is realistic to expect tourist arrivals to significantly rise, and the target of
nearly 54,000 in 2015 is achievable. The development and promotion of adventure and
eco-tourism destinations, specifically, at the Western District and along the Chico River
Tourism Corridor, will make the targets viable and attainable.
Table III-87. Estimates of Current and Future Tourism Requirements, Tabuk City
Actual Future Targets & Requirements
2010 2015 2020 2025
Number of Overnight Visitors 36,453 53,561 70,313 85,546
National target annual growth rate, overnight visitors 8.00% 5.00% 4.00%
Required Number of Rooms 163 326 385 426
Total Guest-nights 56,502 107,123 140,625 171,092
Average Length of Stay (nights) 1.55 2 2 2
Total Room-nights 28,251 53,561 70,313 85,546
Average number of persons per room 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00
Average Occupancy Rate 40% 45% 50% 55%
Manpower Requirement (Direct Employment) 109 652 771 852
Note: The projections are derived using the following assumptions and formula suggested in the Tourism Development
Planning Guidebook for Local Government Units (DOT & JICA, 2012.):
• Projected number of overnight visitors based on the national annual growth targets on overnight visitors
• Required Number of Rooms = (Total Room-nights / Average Occupancy Rate) / 365 days
• Total Guest-nights = Average Length of Stay x Number of Overnight Visitors
• Total Room-nights = Total Guest-nights / Average number of persons per room
• Assumptions on average occupancy rate are the suggested targets for LGUs
• Direct employment estimated at 2 persons per room
The average length of stay of visitors will likewise increase from 1.55 nights in
2010 to a target of 2.00. This will result as Tabuk City will offer more tourist products
that will persuade tourists to stay longer in the City. And as a tourist arrivals will
increase, the demand for accommodation establishments will also increase. In 2015, the
number of rooms required is estimated at 326 with an average occupancy rate set at 45
percent. This required number of rooms is double the present number, which is 163

rooms. This means business opportunity for hoteliers to expand their present capacities or
the opening up of new accommodation establishments within the city.
Supplying this
increased demand for Figure III-72. Estimates of Current and Future
accommodation Tourism Requirements, Tabuk City
facilities will generate
more employment,
estimated at a total of
652 persons directly
employed by the
accommodation
establishments in year
2015. This employment
target requires that the
accommodation
establishments meet the
standards for quality
service which in turn
will be an added cause
for tourists to maximize
their stay in the City.
The accreditation of
tourist establishments
will have to be intensified if this is to be realized.

A. TRANSPORTATION
A.1.1 Transporation Network
The City of Tabuk is traversed by national roads with a total road length of
400.662 kilometers and a road right of way of 60 meters. These are maintained by the
Department of Public Works and Highways. Provincial roads, meanwhile, have a total
length of 51.54 kms. with an average road right of way of 60 meters being maintained by
the provincial government of Kalinga. City roads have a total length of 4.545 kilometers
and barangay roads, 224.152 kilometers.
As to road surface, only 21 percent of the total road length are paved, 79 percent
are unpaved. This is a concern in terms of facilitating the flow of people, goods and
services to and out the city.

The City Planning

Team conducted wind-field Table III-74. Inventory of Roads by System Classification
and Type of Pavement, Tabuk City, Year 2010
surveying and verification of
road standards and road
condition of all barangays of
the City. It was found that
although all barangays are
accessible through public
transportation, the road
width did not pass the
minimum standard as
required under the pertinent
laws of the Philippines. This
nonetheless, appears to be
not much of a concern for
majority of the constituents
because tricycle is their
mode of transportation. However, fire trucks and ambulance are expected to encounter
difficulties in responding to cases of emergencies. This makes it necessary for the City of

Tabuk to improve or widen the road network especially internal roads within the
barangays. Meeting the standard road requirement for both urban and rural areas should
be given priority because of the high social and economic cost implications of poor road
network. There are no other modes of transport and facilities in the locality except by
land.

The ancillary road facilities are in the next table. There are 35 pedestrian
crossings in national roads, nine in provincial roads and five in city roads, all located in
the urban barangays. Sidewalks are installed alongside city roads only. Waiting sheds
are along national or provincial roads. Streetlights and road signages are installed along

national and provincial roads. The city has no overpass and traffic lights. This reflects
the fact that traffic congestion is not presently a major concern for Tabuk and is helped
by the wide road right of its major thorough fares.

A.1.3 Road Accidents
In 2011, Tabuk has a total of 75 reported cases of road accidents. More than half
of these cases are on reckless imprudence resulting to damage to property. Many of these
accidents took place along roads traversing the highly urbanizing areas, particularly
Dagupan Centro. Some of these resulted to homicide and/or serious physical injury. Note
that accidents are also among the ten major causes of deaths from 2007 to 2010. This
means that road safety measures need to be strengthened and more road safety facilities
need to be established to reduce road hazards.

A.1.4 Public Land Transportation Vehicles

There were a total of 6,492 public utility vehicles registered in Tabuk in 2010. A
total of 133 of these PUVs were also registered in other cities/municipalities, specifically
the buses and jeepneys plying routes between Tabuk and other areas/centers outside the city.
Most of the registered PUVs are tricycles with 6,310 units. Tricycle is the main
mode of transportation between Dagupan (Poblacion) and its nearby barangays.
Jeepneys, meanwhile, with 82 registered units, are the mode of transport from Dagupan
to other relatively far-flung Barangays.

Tabuk City will require additional length of nearly 247 kilometers of rural roads
over the ten year planning period. This is an additional of 24.20 km of roads every year,
on the average. The existing roads in the urban areas already exceeded the future
requirements in the next ten years given the projected increase in urban population.
Hence, road construction shall give priority to rural areas, particularly to provide access
to economic areas, mainly agricultural lands.

B. POWER
B.1.1 Households Served & Unserved by Electricity
Electricity in the City of Tabuk is provided by the Kalinga-Apayao Electric
Cooperative (KAELCO). Its main office is located in Callagdao, Bulanao, Tabuk City,
Kalinga. Its present load is 3.8 MW and 85 percent is already loaded. However, it can
still supply a continuous and reliable 24-hour power operation for Tabuk City as well as
other towns of Kalinga and Apayao provinces. This required enhancement of the existing
feeder supply to the center of Tabuk. Along this line, KAELCO is now implementing the
construction of another feeder to balance the load and reduce system loss due to
undersized wires and cables.
Newly constructed buildings or structures in Tabuk will be provided with
electricity only when the required clearances/permits have been secured from the local
government office by any individual or resident within the locality. This helps to impede
the rise of informal settlers in the city.
As of August 2013, the Table III-95. Households Served and Unserved

placed at 43,964. The total number of Number of Percentage

B.1.2 Power Consumption

Power consumption is highest among domestic or residential connections, at an average
of 931,715 KWH per month. On the other hand, industrial type has the lowest number of
connections as well as power consumption, which reflects the micro and cottage level scale of
industrial establishments in the city.

Sixty eight percent (68%) of the projected power requirement in the next five
years, from 2013 to 2017, will be for domestic/residential purposes. This will continue to
be the leading use of power, but future demand for institutional and commercial use is
projected to grow at a rate that is faster than in the past with expectations of rapid growth
in these sectors.

Tabuk Water (TAWA) is serving as the city’s water district. In 2010, there are
2,788 connections under TAWA’s level III local waterworks system. Ninety five
percent (95 %) of these are for domestic consumers and the rest are for commercial. The
number of connections for commercial consumers increased more than three times the
2007 figure. This is reflective of the rapid growth of Tabuk’s tertiary industries.
Tabuk Water has two systems, one serving the barangays of Bulanao, San Juan,
Appas and Magsaysay. The other covers Dagupan Centro, Dagupan Weste, Casigayan
and Laya East. It is maintaining four pump stations, one in Dagupan Centro, two in
Bulanao and another in Appas.

Water supply in the rural barangays is mainly through level I water supply
system. These are point sources (such as rain collector, wells and springs) generally for
areas where houses are too thinly scattered to justify a distribution system. Majority of
the population in Tabuk City served by this system uses deepwell.

C.2 Current and Projected Needs

Tabuk Water has been designed with a system that is capable of serving 7,469
households comprising of more or less 37,345 population. As of 2010, only 37 percent
of this capacity is served. TAWA is in the process of enhancing the system by extending
the distribution lines to other adjacent areas. The enhancement will mean additional
service connections to target the projected number of customers for the year 2011.
As for the future water system development if design capacity will be reached, an
option for system expansion is the most economical approach entailing Tabuk Water to
develop another system to supply potable water. Tabuk Water present production well is
strategically located within two systems with a total discharge capacity of 115 liters per
second. A separate system will mean another production well and storage tank in a fill
and draw design.

D. COMMUNICATION
D.1 Present Situation
The table below lists the communication facilities currently established in Tabuk
City. These provide easier communication within and outside the city. Foremost of
these are the mobile phone services provided by SMART and GLOBE. The cell sites of
these service providers were established in Barangays Dagupan Weste, Agbannawag,
Magsaysay, Bulanao, Balong, Casigayan and Nambaran.
Postal services are provided by two offices of the Bureau of Post, one located in
Bulanao and the other in Dagupan Centro. Telegraph/telex/telegraphic transfer services,
meanwhile, are supplied by the LBC and JRS Express.

D.2 Current & Projected Needs

Tabuk City still lacks a landline telephone service provider with
telecommunication services all provided by mobile cellular companies. Furthermore, it
still needs a public calling station to offer basic telecommunication services such as
outgoing telephone calling, two-way telegraph service, and incoming message reception
and delivery.
Barangays located in rugged terrain have poor signal reception from existing
cellular sites due to absence of relay stations. Current internet services are likewise very
poor. These will have to be addressed to provide the widest coverage possible, extending
to all the barangays for a citywide ICT interconnectivity and universal access.

1. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the center of
streets or highways, the street or highways right-of-ways lines, shall be construed to
be the boundaries.
2. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines,
such lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
3. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the
center lines or right-of-way lines of streets or highways, such zone boundaries shall
be construed as being parallel thereto and at such a distance there from as indicated in
the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the
use of the scale shown in said zoning map.
4. Where the boundary of zone follows approximately railroad line, such boundary shall
be deemed to be the railroad right-of-way.
5. Where the boundary of zone follows a stream, lake or bodies of water, said boundary
line shall be deemed to be at the limit of the political jurisdiction of the community
unless otherwise indicated. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be
construed to follow such shorelines and in the event of change in the shorelines, shall
be construed as moving with the actual shorelines.
6. Where a lot of one’s ownership, as of record at the effective date of this Ordinance, is
divided by a zone boundary line, the lot shall be construed to be within the zone
where the major portion of the lot is located. In case the lot is bisected by the

the average lot depth of the lots involved within each particular city/municipality
block. Where, however, any lot has a depth greater than said average, the remaining
portion has an area less than fifty percent (50%) of the total area of the entire lot. If
the remaining portion has an area equivalent to fifty percent (50%) or more of the
total area of the lot then the average lot depth shall apply to the lot which shall
become a lot divided and covered by two or more different zoning districts, as the
case may be. In case of any remaining doubt as to the location of any property along
zone boundary lines, such property shall be considered as falling within the less
restrictive zone.
