FOREWORD
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of Calatagan 2018-2027 is a 10-
year physical development plan which shall serve as the basis for the
allocation and sustainable use and management of both its terrestrial and
marine territories. This plan identi昀椀ed and presented the delineated,
demarcated and assigned land and water uses that are suitable for the
Municipality of Calatagan.
Speci昀椀c uses of the land and water territories under the jurisdiction of the
local government were determined in consideration with the di昀昀erent
ownerships, physical attributes, geographical characteristics and
suitability features of Calatagan. Water and land use and management
were done in accordance with Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government
Code of 1991 in which the power to utilize a locality’s resource to its best
and optimum is given. The existing land and water uses in Calatagan
serve as the starting point in which the proposed land and water use were
based on. The development thrusts and strategies were not solely based
on the spatial development of the locality but also with consideration of
the current functional role of Calatagan in the development of the
Province of Batangas. The development thrust and strategies of
Calatagan, therefore, follow their assigned functional role in the province
which includes sustainable ecotourism, climate-resilient agriculture, and
industrial development. Consequently, appropriate zoning for areas within
the jurisdiction of Calatagan was determined and highlighted.
Some of the laws and policies considered in the preparation of the CLUP of
Calatagan includes Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code of
1991, Executive Order No. 72, Tourism Act, Climate Change and
Adaptation Act, Presidential Decree 1216 and enhanced HLURB CLUP
Guidelines 2014. These policies provided the bases for the determination,
identi昀椀cation and delineation of the land and water uses of Calatagan as
well as its spatial development framework. Integration and mainstreaming
of climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and ridge-to-reef
approaches to land use planning were adopted for the current CLUP,
based on the laws mentioned.
The updated CLUP of Calatagan is geared towards land and water uses
that are sustainable and complementary with the needs of the local
government. Spatial development strategies were incorporated in order to
achieve optimum and sustainable management and development of the
resources of Calatagan. Existing sectoral demands and needs were
addressed through the proposed sectoral strategies for the local

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
government. Lastly, zoning ordinances and policies shall support the

implementation of the proposed land and water uses of Calatagan

INTRODUCTION
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) is the physical framework plan
of a municipality mandated by RA 7160, Sec. 20 (c) and Executive Order
72 which serves as the basis for the future uses of land and water
resources. It translates the vision, goals and objectives of the community
into spatial form and guides the local government on the allocation and
management of its land and natural resources. Also, it indicates the
development thrust and leadership of the Local Government Unit (LGU) in
the forthcoming years.
CLUP Objectives
 Achieve an improved quality of life;
 Allocate and delineate the di昀昀erent uses of the land and water
resources for future development needs;
 Delineate the best use of land and water resources to prevent
premature and wasteful development;
 Identify intra-/inter connectivity to provide access to basic services
to all barangays in the Municipality;
 Maintain ecological balance through preservation and conservation
of unique or special natural features;
 Translate socio-economic policies into physical policies and plans;
and
 Incorporate changes in the goals and objectives of the community.

RATIONALE
The Municipality of Calatagan, by virtue of R.A. 7160 or the Local

Government Code of 1991, developed its Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(CLUP) 2018 -2027. The CLUP is an integrated framework plan adopted by
the Municipality’s local government as a policy guide on allocation and
management of its physical, natural and water resources in relation to the
environmental, economic, social, and cultural development of the
Municipality. To update and formulate the said CLUP, the Municipality of
Calatagan sought technical assistance from GeoInfometrics Solutions Co.
METHODOLOGIES
Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board Guidelines

The enhanced-CLUP Guidelines (2013) of the Housing and Land Use
Regulatory Board (HLURB) were used in updating and formulating the
CLUP for Calatagan. The new set of guidelines had incorporated major
legislative and environmental changes including disaster risk and climate
change to ensure sustainable management and conservation of land and
water resources for future generations.
Likewise, in support to the RA 9729 or the Climate Change Act of 2009

and RA 10121 or the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Act, the critical role of the LGUs in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction
and climate change adaptation was recognized. The team adopted the
Guidelines published by HLURB.
Geomatics
Geomatics includes the tools and techniques used in land surveying,
remote sensing (RS), cartography, geographic information science (GIS),
global positioning systems (GPS), photogrammetry, geography and
related forms of earth mapping.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
In this project, GeoInfometrics Solutions Co. archived remote sensing

images from Google with Coordinates Reference System (CRS) of World
Geodetic System (WGS) 1984. The team used Android Phone and iPhone
to map various spatial features such as road networks and to validate land
uses. These orthorecti昀椀ed images and GPS data were integrated, stored,
analyzed and published using open-source Quantum GIS software.
Suitability and Capability of Lands Using GIS

The primary bases for all possible uses of land rely on the analysis of the
physical land characteristics and soil properties.
Land suitability and capability was determined using Geographic

Information System (GIS), combined with remote sensing.
All proposed land uses are based on the GIS-based analyses of the socio-
economic needs of the Municipality and was checked with the land
capability and soil suitability classi昀椀cation of the Bureau of Soil and Water
Management (BSWM), hazard map of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau
(MGB) and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHIVOLCS).
Urbanizable Lands/Supply of Lands for Urban Use

Urbanizable lands refer to lands available for future expansion of urban
areas. These are areas found to be suitable for urban uses based on the
soil suitability study which took into consideration, factors such as slope,
erosion potential, development trends, existing soil type, erosion
potential, existing land uses, and natural and man-made physical
constraints. In this study, GIS was employed to delineate the proposed
land use, including the future expansions of urban areas.
Participatory Approach
The planning process was facilitated through public consultations
involving local o昀케cials and sta昀昀, barangay leaders, non-government
organization/Peoples Organizations (NGOs/POs) and national government
agencies (NGAs) in the Municipality.
Planning Area
Based on the cadastral map provided by the Municipal Planning and
Development O昀케ce digitized by the GIS Co. and adjusted to DENR’s
certi昀椀cation, Calatagan has a total land area of 10,577.99 hectares,
consisting of 25 barangays.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
Planning Period
The CLUP covers a planning period of ten (10) years, from 2018-2027,
which may be reviewed every three (3) years coinciding with the term of
the locally elected o昀케cials.
BRIEF PROFILE OF CALATAGAN

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
Brief History of Calatagan

The word “Calatagan” means a large expanse of wide plain lands. This
was derived from the Tagalog word “latag” that is synonymous to
“Kapatagan,” which means a plain or 昀氀at portion of land lying between
mountains or hills. Calatagan is rich not only with natural resources, but
also with its historical background. Artifacts found in the Municipality
provide evidences of cultural activities of the early Filipinos before the
Spanish regime.
Calatagan was occupied by Spaniards in 1800s. During this period, Don

Domingo Roxas governed the Municipality which was then known as
‘Hacienda de Calatagan’. For generations, the Roxas family continued to
develop the land until it became an independent municipality from
Balayan in 1912. During this period, Calatagan was also occupied by the
Americans. Haciendas in Nasugbu and Calatagan owned by the Roxas
family were passed down among their heirs. The Hacienda de Calatagan
was inherited by the family of Zobels. This land was mainly subdivided
into residential lots. In the mid-1990, the Zobel Clan took over the lands
which have been named as Central Azucarera de Calatagan or simply
"Central Carmen" when referring to the sugar milling complex. During the
World War II, Japanese came and made a substantial impact on the
economic and social stature of the Municipality. Calatagan gradually
regained its condition and continued to progress and develop. After the
Philippines gained independence from the Americans in 1957, the Land
Tenure Administration bought the hacienda lands from the Zobels upon
petition of the people of Calatagan.
Demographic Pro昀椀le
Population Composition
Based on the 2015 Census of Population, Calatagan has a total population

of 56,449 with a total household population of 56,424. Among the
population, men are higher in number than women based from the
population data of 2010 and 2015. Large population (51%) is comprised of
aged 24 and below, implying that the Municipality has relatively young
population. It has an expansive population pyramid which connotes high
fertility among the population and an increase in the population growth
rate is expected in the coming years (Figure 1).

The Municipality is composed of 25 barangays, of which four (4) are

classi昀椀ed as urban and 21 as rural. Large portion (84.66%) of the
population is residing in rural barangays. Barangay 1 is the most populous
among urban barangays with a population of 3,431 while Barangay
Lucsuhin is the most populous rural barangay (4,526) and also is most
populous in the whole Municipality.
Excluding institutional households, the total population of the Municipality

is greater than its household population of 56,424. The sum of the
participation rates of the barangays suggests that the Municipality has a
higher population in rural barangay than urban barangays. This is also
supported by the relatively low level of urbanization which is currently at
18.11% (2015) indicating that less than a quarter of the Municipality
dwells in the urban areas while the majority are in the rural areas.
Population density of the Municipality is 5 persons per hectare. Likewise,

the rural area has a density of 5 persons per hectare while urban areas
are denser with 12 persons per hectare. High population density in urban
areas are mainly due to the existence of more services and facilities,
better employment opportunities, and location of government o昀케ces.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
Other Population Characteristics
Locales of Calatagan is predominantly composed of Tagalog. Tagalog is

also used as a term denoting their primary language/dialect spoken.
However, Calatagan recently hosts other ethnicity due to migration for
work or leisure or locales marrying people from outside the Municipality
and eventually becoming residents of the Town. As of now, no detailed
data is available on the percentage of mother tongue/ethnicity.
In terms of religion, Calatagan is primarily a Catholic Municipality where

93.79% of the total population believe in Catholicism. Other religious
beliefs and churches are Iglesia ni Cristo, Protestant, Aglipay, and Islam.
Literacy rate in the Municipality is high at 98.84%. There is no signi昀椀cant

gap on literacy between men and women. In 2015, only 516 individuals in
Calatagan were recorded as illiterate.
Population Projections and Estimates
In 2015, the Municipality of Calatagan has a total population of 56,449,

with an annual growth rate of 1.58% or approximately 974 people being
added per year. It was projected that the population will hit the 60,000
mark in 2019 and 65,000 by 2024. By the year 2027, Calatagan will have
a total population of 68,134.
There are 13,717 households occupying the Municipality. Using a

household annual growth rate of 2.61%, Calatagan is projected to have
additional 414 households each year. This means that by 2019, Calatagan
will have more than 15,000 households; and by the year 2027, the
Municipality is expected to have 18,687 households.

As the name implies, Calatagan is a plain or 昀氀at portion of land lying

between hills or mountains. Although, some parts of the Municipality are
located along the coast, its topography ranges from plains to hilly terrain.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
More than half of Calatagan’s land area (56.86%) is characterized by

elevation ranging from 10-50 meters above sea level (masl) while the
Poblacion area has an elevation of seven masl. Only a few land areas have
elevations higher than 100 masl including Mount San Pedrino on the
eastern tip along San Pedrino point (224 masl) and Mount Santiago at the
southern tip along Cape Santiago (<300 masl) (Map 4). Almost half of the
total land area (41.75%) of Calatagan is characterized by undulating to
rolling slopes (8-18%). Rolling to very steep slope (greater than 18%)
constitute 24.32% of the Municipality’s total land area. The rest are level
to nearly level slopes (0-3%) constituting 24.36% of the Municipality’s
land area, while the remaining 9.57% is characterized by gently sloping to
undulating slopes (3-8%) (Map 5). In addition, there are several creeks
and rivers traversing the Municipality of Calatagan. The major rivers
identi昀椀ed are, Santiago River and Ermitanyo River.

Hydrogeologic Feature
The groundwater potential of Calatagan is mostly characterized with local

and less productive aquifers (I-C), with 55,908 hectares coverage while II-
B type is found in around 4,661 hectares of land (Map 12).
Water resources and Coastal Marine Areas and Resources
The coastal bodies of water under Calatagan’s territory has a total surface
area of 75,864.26 hectares stretching over 48 kilometers of its coastline.
Calatagan has the highest area of body of water in Batangas province.
This vast area is rich with coastal and marine resources such as
mangroves, seagrasses and coral reefs. Calatagan has the largest
mangrove area in Batangas Province as per mangrove mapping
conducted by the Conservation International Philippines (CIP) through its
Coral Triangle Support Partnership Project in 2011. Moreover, Calatagan
has vast established marine protected areas. These areas include the
Pagapas Bay and Municipal Water Marine Reserve (1992), and sanctuaries
of Tanagan Marine Sanctuary, Bagong Silang Fish Sanctuary, Sta. Ana
Marine Sanctuary, and Carretunan Fish Sanctuary 1. There are also well-
developed coral reefs on the west coast of Batangas, east coast of the
Balayan Bay and north-western part of Maricaban Island.
As reported by the Conserve and Protect the Ocean Foundation

(CAPOcean, 2012) the coastal and marine habitats of Calatagan are in
good condition. However, anthropological activities and natural events
pose high threats to degradation of these habitats. In addition, based from
the EIA Report of a Mining Project in Barangays. Baha and Talibayog,
marine area in the southeast part of the Municipality is characterized by
quite deep seabeds with depths of up to 100 or 150 meters within less
than a kilometer o昀昀shore and near the coastline. The seabed is
characterized by mud and sand while seagrass have been observed along
the coastal waters from Barangay Baha to Barangay Talibayog.
The tides in Balayan Bay, which has similar tidal characteristics with the
Manila Bay Reference station, has a bench mark elevation of 3.240
meters. Depending on the season, wave heights in Balayan reach up
about to 1.5 meters during southwest monsoon (habagat) season while
only 0.60 meters during northeast monsoon (amihan) season. The current
directions are generally northward during 昀氀ood tide and generally
southward during ebb tide. The measured currents were quite strong for
bay with current speeds ranging from 1.8 to 12.2 during ebb tide, while

observed seawater temperature at 1 meter from sea surface range from

27.5 to 29.0 degree Celsius.
Geological/Environmental Hazard Areas
Volcanic activities, 昀氀ooding, landslides, and coastal erosion and accretion

are the identi昀椀ed geological and natural hazards in the Municipality of
Calatagan. Speci昀椀cally, environmental hazards are: risks resulting from
volcanic activities of Taal Volcano with associated earthquakes and
seiches; 昀氀ooding due to excessive rainfall, typhoons, tsunamis and storm
surges; risks resulting from rain-induced landslides; coastal erosion and
coastal accretion; and vulnerability to earthquake and tsunami occurrence
(Map 13 and Map 14).
Climate Change and Vulnerability
The Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment shows that Calatagan is

vulnerable to climate disasters, mainly to super typhoons and massive
昀氀oods. Since the year 1970, the Municipality has experienced seven (7)
super typhoons wherein Typhoon Yolanda left with the most damage in
the area. There were no casualties recorded but agricultural crops were
signi昀椀cantly damaged. Based on the climate trends and projection by
DOST-PAGASA, Calatagan is foreseen to have seasonal temperature
change, speci昀椀cally, warmer throughout the year especially during
summer months. Seasonal rainfall is also projected to change for the
following years, where more precipitation during wet season will be
experienced while more drought occurrence is to be expected during dry
season. On the other hand, there is no clear indication of the trend of
tropical cyclone occurrence a昀昀ecting the Municipality due to high data
variability over the decades. Despite knowing the vulnerabilities, local
government still lacks on the equipment, facilities, and resources to
e昀케ciently adapt with extreme climate variabilities.

Existing Land Use

The land use of Municipality of Calatagan is predominantly agricultural
(Map 15) (Table 1), covering 63.23% of the total land area. The
agricultural areas comprising of prime agricultural lands, agro-industrial
land comprising of commercial-scale poultry and livestock projects cover
6,802.41 hectares. The largest portion of built-up area is used for housing
and residential use covering 560.83 hectares (5.21%) scattered in all 25
barangays. Most businesses are located in urban barangays. Planned Unit
Development (PUD) and industries cover the second largest land area in
the Municipality. A total land area of 1,311.46 hectares or 12.19% is used
for PUD where Calatagan Golf Course, Bigaa Ice Plant, runway, Polo Club,
Bigaa Ice Plant and portions in Baha and Talibayog are found. Land areas
used for industrial purposes have increased dramatically over the recent
years, covering 922.09 hectares, or 8.57% of the total land area of the
Municipality. Industrial projects such as solar power plant and approved
quarry sites are located in Brgy. Paraiso, Biga, Talibayog, Baha. The
existing quarry sites in Calatagan covers around 70.04 hectares or 0.65%
of the total land area of Calatagan. Other uses of land in Calatagan are
mangrove areas (323.19 ha), tourism facilities (308.77 ha), 昀椀sh ponds
(249.32 ha), roads and utilities (134.50 ha) and socialized housing (0.82
ha) (Table 1).

Urban Land Use

Urban areas are located in Barangay 1, Barangay 2, Barangay 3 and
Barangay 4 (Table 2) (Map 16). In the case of land use in urban areas,
largest portion of the urban area is still utilized for agricultural activities,
covering 424.28 hectares or 57.41% of the total urban area, followed by
PUD and residential areas with 110.21 hectares (14.91%) and 91.56
hectares (12.39%), respectively. Fish ponds and infrastructure areas also
occupy relatively large areas in the urban barangays covering 34.52
hectares and 23.23 hectares, respectively. On the other hand, cemetery,
commercial, Ecology Center (MRF), parks and recreation, and tourism
establishments occupy 28.39% of the total urban areas.

Change in Land Use

There was an increase in the total area of the Municipality since 1997
when the disputed area of 74 hectares was resolved and awarded to the
Municipality of Calatagan by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan in 1979. In
addition, accretion of soil in the coastal areas were also accounted for the
increase in the land area of the Municipality. This has been included in the
existing total land area of the Municipality (10,757.99 hectares).
Moreover, changes in land use were observed such as conversion of
grassland to agricultural land in 2001 to recent years. In 2017, socialized
housing (Gawad Kalinga), mining/quarry, 昀椀shponds, and mangrove were
identi昀椀ed as new land uses. Land for industrial use has the largest
expansion with the opening of Solar Power Plant and the approved land
conversion in 2008 in Barangays Baha and Talibayog from agricultural to
industrial use (Table 3).

Municipal waters within the jurisdiction of Calatagan has a total surface
area of 75,864.26 hectares. Commercial and municipal 昀椀sheries areas

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
cover a total surface area of 69,115.76 hectares or 91.10% of the

municipal waters. Water areas for conservation, mangroves, tourism, and
reef area only utilize less than 10% of the total surface area of the
Municipality.
The reef area, comprising of coral reefs cover a total span of 2,110.97
hectares. This also includes marine reserves currently totalling to an area
of 151 hectares and is composed of four (4) Marine Protected Areas
(MPAs), namely: Tanagan Marine Sanctuary (9 ha); Calatagan Pyramid
Arti昀椀cial Reef MPA in Bagong Silang (60 ha); Sta. Ana Marine Sanctuary
(11 ha); and Carretunan-Quilitisan Joint MPA (71 ha). Total reef area
comprises 2.78% of total municipal waters. Conservation area has been
identi昀椀ed to cover 1,064.19 hectares or 1.40% of total municipal waters.
These are identi昀椀ed areas found o昀昀shore of Brgys. Bagong Silang, Sta.
Ana, Tanagan, Barangay 3, Balitoc, Baha, Talibayog, Gulod, Quilitisan,
Carretunan, Talisay and Balibago.
Municipal Fishing Areas, as de昀椀ned in the Fisheries Code, cover 1 to 15

km of the municipal waters of Calatagan, which include the commercial
昀椀shing areas from 10.1 to 15 km of the municipal waters. Areas devoted
to commercial 昀椀shing cover 20,349.57 hectares or 26.82% of the
municipal waters. Municipal 昀椀shing, or 昀椀shing which does not require the
use of 昀椀shing vessel, or 昀椀shing with the use of three (3) gross tons or less
are further identi昀椀ed to cover areas as follows: Gill net: 14,624.05
hectares; Hook and line: 13,001.02 hectares; and 昀椀sheries: 21,141.12
hectares.
Mangrove areas were also identi昀椀ed within the municipal waters of

Calatagan. These comprise a total area of 30.37 hectares or 0.04% of the
total municipal water area. It must be noted that these areas are
additional mangrove areas identi昀椀ed within the Municipal Land Boundary
of Calatagan.
Areas speci昀椀cally identi昀椀ed to be devoted to tourism comprise a total area

of 3,276.96 hectares, or 4.32% of the total municipal waters of Calatagan.
Tourism zones within the municipal waters of Calatagan are intertwining
the reef areas stretching from the western coast of the Municipality all the
way to the eastern side at the cove of Brgy. Hukay. Lastly, area used by
Calatagan Port in Barangay 4 has water area of 282,298.32 sqm based on
Executive Order No. 414 (2005), also falls under the reef area (Table 4)
(Map 16 and 17).

Economy
Agriculture
Calatagan is heavily dependent on its local agricultural sector, occupying

6,802.41 hectares or 63.23% of the total land area. Agricultural activities
include crop production, livestock and poultry production and 昀椀sheries.
Fishing and farming are the two main sources of livelihood in the town.
Major crops are rice followed by vegetables. Other local crops grown are
sugarcane and fruit trees. In the 昀椀sheries sector, various salt-water 昀椀sh
and prawns are harvested within the Municipality. Seaweeds plantation
also operates in 11 hectares sporadically grown in the Barangays of
Gulod, Balitoc, Barangay 3 and Barangay 4.
Commerce and Trade
Commercial establishments in Calatagan cover an estimated land area of

39.20 hectares. Majority of the commercial areas are located in Poblacion.
However, based from the data in year 2012-2016, the Business Permits
and Licensing Division (BPLD) has not found a substantial increase in the
number of permits per year for the past 5 years, which implies that some
businesses may have not formally registered. Wholesale and retail trade
and repair shops (i.e. for motor vehicles, motorcycle, personal and
household goods) were the dominant businesses in the Municipality in
terms of the number. Businesses are categorized into primary, secondary
and tertiary economic activities. Primary economic activities include
agriculture, forestry, 昀椀sheries, and mining. Secondary economic activities
such as manufacturing, electricity, gas and water supply. Notably, tertiary
economic activities had not substantially increased in number for the past
5 years. Tertiary economic activities are characterized by operations in
wholesale and retail, general services, accommodations, and extra-
territorial organizations and bodies. Commerce and trade can be further
developed by encouraging new investors, traders and businessmen to
establish new businesses and or continue their businesses in the locality.
Industry
Di昀昀erent local industries have become a unique and important source of

local income. With the opening of the largest solar farm in the Philippines,
the Municipality has signi昀椀cantly grown from small to large industrial
town. Expansion of local quarry industries was also observed in the recent
years. With the rich mineral resources and presence of Asturias Chemical
Industries and Calatagan Solar Farm, it is expected that these will

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
signi昀椀cantly contribute to Calatagan’s local economy through higher local

employment rate and increase in local revenue. Other industries in the
Municipality are the ice plants and unregistered quarry industries in the
Municipality. The latter, however, poses a threat to the environment and
the communities. With this, there is a need for both local government and
operators to carefully assess and implement regulations and policies to
avoid degradation of natural resources and mitigate adverse e昀昀ects to
communities.
Tourism
The Municipality of Calatagan is known locally and internationally as one

of the best tourist destination in the Philippines. As it is surrounded by
bodies of water, most of the tourist attractions are resorts providing water
activities such as swimming, boat riding, 昀椀shing, and wakeboarding. Some
luxury resorts in the Municipality have pools and golf facilities and
services. The most visited tourist attractions in Calatagan are Calatagan
Mangrove Forest Conservation Park, Calatagan Arti昀椀cial Pyramid, Cape
Santiago Lighthouse, Calatagan Golf Club Course, Museo de Enrique
Zobel, and Solar Farm. Tourism establishments operate throughout the
year, but the peak season is during summer (early March to late June).
Infrastructure, Facilities, Utilities and Services
Transportation Network
The Municipality has a total length of 192.06 km of roads adjoining all

other barangays and providing access to its neighbouring municipalities,
Lian and Balayan. Public utility jeepneys, tricycles and motorcycles are the
common means of transportation in the Municipality. Other modes of
transportations are buses and vans which route mainly from municipalities
to cities and vice versa.
Currently, the roads are mostly (95.5%) overlaid with concrete/asphalt
(paved) while the remaining (4.5%) are compacted with gravel or earth
昀椀lled (unpaved). Provincial roads measure to a total of 20.50 kilometers
whereas the length of the municipal roads totaled to 1.9 kilometers.
Barangay roads are 161.31 km long which provides inter-/intra
connectivity.
Further, there are 15 bridges in the Municipality, nine (9) of which have
been reported in poor to critical conditions while the rest are in fair
condition. Aside from bridges, there is also a culvert in Brgy. Sambungan
and box culverts in Brgy. Quilitisan connecting to other barangays. Aside
from the above-mentioned land transportation services and facilities,

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
there is also a sea port in the Municipality known as the Calatagan Port,
previously named as Balong-Bato Port constructed under the Nationwide
Feeder Ports Program of the Department of Transportation and
Communications (DOTC), now Department of Transportation (DOTr). The
delineation of the Calatagan Port Zone was enacted through Executive
Order No. 414, S. 2005 – Declaring and Delineating the Calatagan Port
Zone under the Administrative Jurisdiction of the Philippine Ports Authority
with an area of 282,298.32 sq. m.
As per Calatagan Municipal O昀케ce, there is an on-going Calatagan-Tilik

(Lubang) Ports partnership plan but has not yet been materialized due to
port dredging problem. The said partnership envisions to promote sea-
borne trade and commerce in CALABARZON and MIMAROPA and spurring
the economic growth of the region.
Utilities
Basic utilities such as electricity, water, and telecommunication networks

are available in Municipality, however, not all barangays have access to it.
The Batangas Electric Cooperative (BATELEC) 1 is the main power supplier
of the Municipality. According to BATELEC, all of the households in
Calatagan can have access to electricity. However, it was reported that
only 88% of the households have electrical connection. This is mainly
because, there are still households located in untitled lots who do not
apply for power connection. Second, one of the requirements in the
application for power connection is the approved building permit as
accomplished by the applicants. Due to the inability and/or incapacity of
owners in obtaining building permits, power connection problem such as
the ‘spaghetti’ system exists.
Municipal waterworks system is currently being constructed in Calatagan.

As of now, only a few barangays have their own waterworks system.
Water is mainly sourced from shallow wells, artesian wells and deep wells.
For some tourism establishments, water is recycled or they have their own
water tanks to maintain their facilities and supply the needs of their
clientele. Hand pumps are also installed in some households for domestic
use.
In terms of waste management, the Solid Waste Management O昀케ce

(SWMO) of the Municipal Government of Calatagan is mainly responsible
in the solid waste management and the provision of solid waste facilities,
including collection of wastes in the area. In compliance to RA 9003 or the
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, the SWMO aims to reduce wastes
at source through composting and recycling. Locales, especially in the

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
residential areas, are encouraged through government projects like ‘Idol

ko si Kapt’ Project. For the 14 barangays of Calatagan, collected wastes
are gathered and recycled in the dumpsite in Barangay IV. Wastes are
segregated and processed (for recyclable wastes) into cement bricks and
biodegradables are processed as vermicompost.
Information and Communication Technology
There are various forms of communication that are being used by the
residents in Calatagan including post mails, texts, and calls. Cell phones
and landlines are widely used, but sending post mails is conventional.
Devices such as cell phones and landlines makes communication easier.
Also, news and other correspondence are served to the Town through
print and broadcast media. Meanwhile, signal of cell site networks are
available in 25 barangays. Smart and Globe Telecommunication
companies are the two (2) major network providers of the Municipality.
However, some areas and/or barangays do not have good cellular signal.
On the other hand, internet connection is readily available and accessible
in all parts of the Poblacion but not yet available in remote rural areas,
mainly because cell sites are not yet available in these areas.
Development Constraints: Priority Issues and Concerns

The Municipality of Calatagan faces various issues and challenges which
can have an e昀昀ect on the development of the locality and the province. It
is important to address these issues in order to increase the potential
success of any programs and projects to be implemented while lowering
risk of unsuccessful development path for Calatagan. The issues and
concerns identi昀椀ed for the Municipality of Calatagan are as follows:
1. Vulnerability to Climate-related Hazards
The increasing intensity and occurrence of climate-related hazards

occurring in the country poses signi昀椀cant risks to speci昀椀c area such as
Calatagan. Fishermen and farmers are among the most vulnerable group
to climate events in Calatagan in terms of their seasonal income that is
dependent on their 昀椀shing and farming activities. Fishing and farming
activities are easily a昀昀ected by drastic weather changes. Lack of
alternative livelihood other than farming and 昀椀shing poses economic
problems to 昀椀shermen and farmers in the municipality. Aside from the
economic activities that can be a昀昀ected by climate events, the
infrastructures and facilities in Calatagan are also vulnerable to climate
events. Seven percent of the total number of houses in Calatagan are
made of light materials and are located near rivers and waterways. These

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
houses located near rivers and waterways are highly exposed to 昀氀ood
inundation and other similar conditions. Having a good and e昀케cient
drainage system can greatly aid in avoiding inundation in the inner areas
of Calatagan. Environmental factors and processes that can also
aggravate the vulnerability of Calatagan to climate events include barren
mountains, inadequacy in water supply, erosion, earthquake, typhoon,
storm surge and landslide. Mitigation and prevention activities and
preparation can be considered to increase adaptive capacity of Calatagan
to climate related hazards and events.
2. Insu昀케ciency in Education, Health and Social Services
The education sector of Calatagan faces a lot of challenges in terms of

limited water supply, dilapidation in some school buildings, limited
number of facilities and teachers as per standards. In the health sector,
there are only limited number of support personnel (such as laboratory
technicians) available who cater to the health needs of the people of
Calatagan. Also, malnourishment of children aged 6 years old and below,
exposure to bacterial and viral diseases, lack of sanitary toilets, limited
and inapt storage facility for special wastes and absence of sanitary
land昀椀ll pose environmental and health risks to the population of
Calatagan. In terms of the housing sector, there are still backlogs needed
to be addressed in Calatagan. There are at least 31% of the household in
Calatagan that do not have ownership to their current housing units. Aside
from this, there is also a high number of informal settlers (298 families) in
Calatagan. Also, limited social workers, projects, and social welfare
facilities such as home for the aged, counselling o昀케ces, and PWD centers
that can accommodate the needs of the vulnerable and indigent groups of
Calatagan were observed. In turn, only a few were served by the
municipal social welfare services. There is also a need to increase the
number of protective services personnel in order to accommodate the
increasing population of Calatagan and its protective sectoral demand.
With the increasing number of population of Calatagan, programs and
projects related to the education, health and other social sectors must be
developed, improved and enhanced to ensure e昀케cient and equitable
delivery of public goods and services to the people of Calatagan.
3. Cost of input production
One of the development goals of Calatagan is to develop its industry

sector as well as increase its agricultural productivity. High cost of input
production serves as a hindrance towards fully achieving a developed
industrial and agricultural sector. Creating an environment where various
economic activities can thrive bene昀椀tting all sectors of Calatagan is

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
therefore essential to attain the development of the Municipality. Creating

conducive environment for socioeconomic activities in Calatagan is
essential to attain the Municipal’s developmental goals and objectives.
4. Need for a Stronger Institutionalization of Sustainable Eco-

tourism
Sustainable ecotourism can serve as an important economic activity that

can be highlighted in promoting the development of the Municipality.
However, a comprehensive plan for ecotourism development in Calatagan
is yet to be concretized. Currently, there are only limited number of
tourism activities being conducted in the area. The tourism activities as
well as the in昀氀ux of visitors in Calatagan are weakly monitored. Also,
promotional and marketing activities to encourage tourists to visit
Calatagan needs to be strengthened. Establishment of a tourism o昀케ce
can aid in promoting sustainable ecotourism in Calatagan.
5. Need to Improve and Realize Potential of Commercial

Fisheries
The 昀椀sheries sector of Calatagan provides another source of income not

just for the Municipality but to its constituents as well. Having a large
expanse of municipal water under its jurisdiction, the Municipality of
Calatagan has a big potential in terms of 昀椀sheries production. In order to
fully reap the bene昀椀ts and advantages of the marine resources of
Calatagan, the institutionalization, provision of infrastructural support, and
capacity building activities for stakeholders should be developed,
enhanced, improved and monitored continuously.
6. Limited access to water services
Limited access to water services is also a challenge to the people of

Calatagan. Many rural areas need to have additional sources of water
which can be used for household purposes such as laundry, cleaning
dishes and taking a bath.
7. Transportation Infrastructure Challenges
Roads and bridges are essential in ensuring e昀케cient and e昀昀ective 昀氀ow of
goods and services. Existing condition of roads need to be assessed and,
if needed, rehabilitated for improved use of the people. Old steel bridges
need to be retro昀椀tted to ensure safety of the people using these bridges.
Lastly, there is limited number of terminals present in Calatagan. This is
coupled with unregulated placement of makeshift or temporary terminals
which can contributed to tra昀케c congestion in the locality.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
8. Challenges in Communication Infrastructures and Facilities
There are limited number of cell site towers present in the rural areas of
Calatagan. Consequently, this poses problems in terms of the e昀케ciency
and ability of people to communicate e昀昀ectively within and outside of
Calatagan. In addition, there is a limited availability of equipment and
communication facilities in Calatagan which lists one (1) post o昀케ce, four
(4) print media, and 17 cell site networks. In order to ensure achievement
of a fully connected and e昀케cient communication among the population as
well as the neighboring localities of Calatagan, a stable and su昀케cient
communication infrastructures and facilities should be secured.
9. Institutional Challenges
Full participation of the public sector should be encouraged in order to

fully achieve the goals of Calatagan. Public sector awareness and
participation are essential in attaining sustainable development of the
Municipality.
Development Opportunities and Strengths

The Municipality of Calatagan has its inherent advantages that can help in
achieving its development goals. These advantages shall serve as
development opportunities that the Municipality of Calatagan can further
tap and harness in order to achieve its functional roles both at the
provincial and regional level. By sustainably and e昀케ciently directing these
distinct characteristics and attributes, Calatagan can ensure the
achievement of its vision and mission. These are some of the identi昀椀ed
development opportunities inherent to the Municipality of Calatagan:
1. Abundant natural resources
A salient feature of the physical environment of Calatagan is its abundant

natural resources especially in their coastal areas. The large expanse of
marine waters in Calatagan provides an opportunity to o昀昀er multiple uses
and functions such as ecotourism, 昀椀sheries, bu昀昀er zones and protection
areas. Sustainable use and strict regulations of laws pertaining to the
protection and promotion of environmental welfare are therefore crucial in
achieving the optimal bene昀椀ts that can be reaped from Calatagan’s
natural resources.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
2. Vast lands suitable for agriculture
The Municipality of Calatagan is gifted with vast lands that are suitable for
agricultural activities. The suitability of the soil of Calatagan for
agricultural purposes can provide areas where stakeholders can conduct
agricultural activities which can aid in achieving a food su昀케cient and
secured locality. These lands can also provide an opportunity for the
Municipality to serve as food basket not only for the Batangas province
but also to the National Capital Region. Promoting climate-resilient crops
will greatly help in ensuring the sustainability of the agricultural sector of
the municipality given changes in climate in Calatagan.
3. Existing road networks
In terms of its relative location, Calatagan has an advantage due to its

proximity to the National Capital Region. This is further magni昀椀ed by the
existence of road networks leading to Calatagan’s neighboring localities
and reaching as far as the National Capital Region. This feature opens up
di昀昀erent opportunities for Calatagan such as increase in in昀氀ux of
ecotourism visitors, export of agricultural products to neighboring
localities and attracting potential investors in the Municipality.
4. Inter-Island Connectivity
The Municipality of Calatagan can connect with other nearby island

municipalities through potential marine transport routes. The inter-island
connectivity can give way to transporting both passengers and cargos
coming from Calatagan to other island municipalities such as Lubang and
the province of Mindoro and vice versa. Through these marine routes,
stronger connections and economic relations to other municipalities can
be further established creating opportunities in these areas.
Functional Role of Calatagan

Batangas is one of the provinces comprising Region IV-A of the
CALABARZON Region in Luzon. It is the second largest province in the

Development Policies on Key Sectors

The development thrust and strategies of Calatagan are needed to be
complemented with development policies on key sectors in order to
ensure inclusive growth of the Municipality. These development policies
shall ensure that the sectoral development growth are captured in
Calatagan’s growth. The development policies on key sectors are as
follows:
Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction and

Management
The 2009 Climate Change Act and the 2010 National Disaster Risk
Reduction Management Act are the primary policies guiding the climate
change adaptation and disaster risk reduction management (CCA-DRRM)
in the Philippines. Given increasing intensity and occurrence of climate-
related and disaster–related hazards in the country, mainstreaming CCA-
DRRM has become one of the priorities in the land use planning process of
the di昀昀erent local government units in the country. In order to achieve the
goals CCA/DRR, policies are needed to be put into place. The following are
the general policies that shall guide the mainstreaming of CCA/DRR for
Calatagan:

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
1. Mainstreaming CCA/DRR into the di昀昀erent planning activities and

documents pursuant to related laws and policies.
2. Enhance capabilities in terms of disaster mitigation and prevention

activities.
3. Establishing a set of systems that shall guide stakeholders in the

identi昀椀cation, assessment and analysis which are CCA/DRR related.
4. Investing on technologies, equipment, trainings and support

Climate-resilient Agriculture and Fisheries
Agriculture and 昀椀sheries are two important sectors in the Municipality of

Calatagan. Agricultural and 昀椀sheries production ensure that food security
and availability shall not be compromised in relation to the demands of
the people. Pursuant to the National Climate Change Action Plan 2011-
2038 and the Climate Change Act of 2009, the agriculture and 昀椀sheries
sector has been given emphasis in terms of its capacity to adapt to the
changing climate of the country. In order to do so, the following policies
shall direct e昀昀orts towards achieving climate-resilient agriculture and
昀椀sheries for Calatagan:
1. Mainstreaming CCA/DRR policies into community-based 昀椀shery and

agriculture.
2. Providing means for direct intervention of local government unit and

cooperatives on accessing funds for agriculture and 昀椀sheries
production and development.
3. Exploring new methods of agricultural and 昀椀shery production that

are climate-resilient and sustainable.
4. Promotion of diversi昀椀ed livelihood and climate-resilient crops

suitable for Calatagan.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
5. Investing on advance and innovative technologies, materials,

equipment and trainings related to climate-resilient agriculture.
6. Building partnership with key sectors and groups in terms of the

enhancement of resiliency, mitigation and adaptation of the
agricultural sector.
7. Investing on coral reef rehabilitation and restoration which will serve

as protective barriers against strong waves and habitat area for
economically-important 昀椀shery products.
Water Conservation
Availability of clean and good quality water is crucial in ensuring the

health of not only the people of Calatagan but the di昀昀erent sectors
depending on it as well. In order to make sure that good quality of water is
available, the following policy guidelines are recommended:
1. Preparation of inventory of the di昀昀erent types of water sources and

4. Strengthening of existing laws pertaining to water conservation and

its use.
5. Promotion of data banking pertaining to information on water

resources in the Municipality.
6. Strengthening of implementation of solid waste management.
Resilient Infrastructure
Infrastructures are necessities in the development of any local

government unit. Ensuring that the infrastructures are built based on the
set standards as re昀氀ected in the Philippine laws and policies is therefore
important. To achieve a resilient infrastructure environment for Calatagan,
the following policies are suggested:
1. Development of an infrastructure inventory and plan that

mainstreams CCA/DRR resiliency and mitigation.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
2. Building, rehabilitation and improvement of routes that shall serve

as means of transport in times of disasters.

are needed in place to ensure optimal attainment of its economic goals.
These goals shall be strengthened by the following policies:
1. Development and improvement of tax structure and collection

system.
2. Improve accessibility to infrastructures and markets present in the

Municipality.
3. Promotion of product and market diversi昀椀cation.
4. Promotion of locally-made products.
5. Strict implementation of laws and policies pertaining to the

economic activities in the area.
6. Strict implementation of solid waste management.
Sustainable Ecotourism
Ecotourism areas in Calatagan attract many visitors from many parts of

the country and even from abroad. Given the abundant scenic views and
beaches located in the coastal areas of Calatagan, sustainably managing
its ecotourism is therefore important. In order to achieve this, the
following policies are proposed:
1. Formulation and development of an Ecotourism Plan emphasizing on

community participation and management.
2. Mainstreaming CCA/DRR to the ecotourism plan of Calatagan.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
3. Establishing of zones to be allocated to di昀昀erent uses particularly for

ecotourism activities
4. Ensure viability and competitiveness of tourism destinations while

ensuring environmental preservation.

relation to ecotourism activities in the area
6. Monitoring of tourist arrival, volume, and impacts to the ecotourism

sites.
7. Establishing of standard fees and collection for the management of

the ecotourism sites.
8. Promotion of locally-made products.
Development Concept and Structure Plan

The existing land use of Calatagan reveals that its urban form or spatial
pattern follows a multiple-nuclei pattern. This pattern shows that land
uses may or may not cluster in one area given the specialized facilities,
mutual association with other land uses and incompatibility of land uses
present in a given locality. This is true for the case of Calatagan where
industrial areas is located somewhere other than the Municipality center
which is the Poblacion areas.
The built form of Calatagan is represented by both spatial elements and

spatial dynamics. The spatial elements are composed of the commercial
areas, residential communities, transportation, ecotourism sites,
conservation areas, agricultural lands and industry. The spatial dynamics
is composed of the existing Municipality center and the proposed 昀椀sh port.
Improved, enhanced and strict zoning policies and its implementation is
therefore crucial in ensuring that the health and quality of the
environment is preserved.
Calatagan is envisioned to be an ecotourism, agriculturally-developed,

and industrialized municipality. The strategies, programs and projects
identi昀椀ed in the CLUP of Calatagan shall reinforce the realization of the
Municipality’s vision. Given the existing land use, suitability and the
geographical environment of Calatagan, a multi-nuclei form is the
preferred spatial pattern to be followed by the Municipality. The
Municipality shall have the following development growth nodes:

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
a. Agricultural development areas. The agricultural development

centers are the areas where agricultural production is highly
suitable and suitable, and is therefore prime areas for such
activities. This cluster shall be composed of Barangays Balibago,
Biga, Carretunan, Quilitisan, Luya, Real, Sambungan, Bucal, Sta.
Ana, Tanagan and Bagong Silang.
b. Primary growth areas (commercial areas). These are areas
where commerce, business and trade is concentrated located in the
Poblacion and portions of Lucsuhin.
c. Ecotourism development areas. These areas shall be composed
of Barangay 1, Hukay, Tanagan, Sta. Ana and Bagong Silang. These
barangays have coastal areas which are already used as tourism
areas. However, in the proposed land use, these areas are to be
strengthened into sustainable ecotourism sites o昀昀ering new water
activities as proposed by the Municipality.
d. Industrial development. Areas where industries and related
activities are to be located. These areas are to be composed of
Barangays Talibayog, Baha, Paraiso and Biga.
These growth nodes provide functional roles to the areas where various
land uses are suitable for each barangay. Also, these growth nodes follow
the vision of Calatagan in terms of its development thrusts. The
agricultural development cluster shall be the areas where agricultural
production will be practiced. The ecotourism development cluster is
composed of the coastal barangays where existing tourism amenities and
facilities are already present. To further reinforce the vision of Calatagan
of becoming an ecotourism destination, these areas need to be
sustainably developed and managed. Supporting its vision to also develop
the industry sec,tor, Calatagan also has identi昀椀ed areas suitable for
industrial development. These areas will be alloted to industrial activities
proposed for the Municipality. The commercial areas composed of
Barangays 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall be the center of commercial activities in the
area. This is also where the proposed community 昀椀sh landing center is to
be built. These three growth nodes will be the key drivers of economic
growth of the Municipality.
Based on the 昀氀ood map of Calatagan, most of the barangays are highly
susceptible to 昀氀ooding. These are barangays 1, 2, 3, 4, Balitoc,
Balibago,Talisay, Biga, Carretunan, Quilitisan, Lucsuhin and Gulod. Some
barangays that are partially a昀昀ected by 昀氀ooding are Barangays Paraiso,
Talibayog, Baha, Sambungan, Bucal, Encarnacion, Hukay, Tanagan, Sta.
Ana and Bagong Silang. In terms of the Municipality’s susceptibility to
landslide, Barangays Baha, Talibayog, Luya, Real, Sambungan, Carlosa,
Encarnacion, Tanagan, Sta. Ana and Bagong Silang have areas that are
highly susceptible. Given the exposure to various climate and geohazard

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
by most of the barangays in Calatagan, vulnerability reduction of exposed

communities through careful and sustainable land use management
should be promoted.
In order to respond to the need of reducing exposure and vulnerability of

Calatagan to such natural hazards, these barangays need to invest in
appropriate mitigation activities, prevention measures and technologies.
The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Council
of Calatagan shall be spearheading the strengthening of partnership and
networking among stakeholders and other related o昀케ces and
organizations on disaster preparedness and response. A detailed standard
operations procedure before, during, and after an occurrence of a disaster
shall be prepared taking into consideration the necessary services,
technology, personnel and equipment needed. Mapping out buildings,
infrastructures and government o昀케ces in Calatagan must be undertaken.
By doing so, identi昀椀cation of speci昀椀c buildings that can be a昀昀ected shall
be known and proper preparation and response can be formulated. The
Municipality shall also develop an awareness and education campaign to
help the barangays and communities in understanding the impacts and
e昀昀ects of hazards and disasters. Along with providing knowledge on
disasters, the Municipality shall also prepare standard operations
procedure for the community to follow in times when disasters and
hazards occur. The Municipality already has an evacuation center,
however, other areas where additional evacuation centers must be
identi昀椀ed and established.
Spatial Development Strategies

The large land area of Calatagan is an advantage in itself for the
Municipality. However, with large expanse of area under its jurisdiction,
the Municipality needs to consider programs and projects that shall
promote its spatial development. The following are the strategies for
spatial development of Calatagan:
 Construction of needed road networks and rehabilitation of existing

ones in order to ensure maximum accessibility and transport of
goods and services in Calatagan.
 Improvement of the water supply.
 Protection of conservation areas identi昀椀ed in the Municipality.
 Integration of land use, water use and climate change adaptation
and disaster risk reduction.
 Promotion of the conservation of the municipal waters that are part
of the Verde Island Passage
 Protection of highly suitable agricultural areas
 Promotion of ecotourism sites identi昀椀ed in Calatagan

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
 Construction of satellite o昀케ces in areas far from the government

center of Calatagan.
The Land Use Plan

Calatagan is a second-class municipality with vast area under its
jurisdiction. Given its geographical and physical features, Calatagan is at
high risk to have a leap frog development where development nodes may
occur in areas which are not supposed to develop based on their proposed
land use. In order to ensure that the preferred development nodes are
attained, the land use of Calatagan needs to be both responsive and
sustainable.
Projected Land Supply for Development/Future Expansion

Areas
In response to the growing demand of a growing population,

expansion of certain land uses is necessary. To compute the area of land
that allows for development, a general formula provided by the HLURB is
used:
Area for Development/Expansion = TLA –

PCA stands for Protection and Conservation Areas which
encompasses CARPable lands (1,492.95 hectares). UA means Urban-use
Areas or the totality of the built-up areas (635.39 hectares) in Calatagan.
Lastly, SLU or Special Land Uses, pertains to lands signi昀椀cant or unique to
the Municipality such as socialized housing, PUD, tourism, industrial,
mining/quarry, mangrove area and 昀椀sh ponds (3,185.69 hectares). The
sum of the areas of the three former land uses are subtracted from the
total land area (TLA) to get the area for further expansion. It was found
out that there are 5,443.96 hectares of land for development or expansion
in the Municipality. However, based on Memorandum Circular No. 54,
Calatagan as second-class municipality is limited to convert only 10% of
its agricultural areas. This means that only 680.24 hectares of land can be
converted by the local government.
Projected Land Demand for Development/Future Expansion

Areas
Table 6 shows the projected land demand for Calatagan. The prescribed
expansion of certain lands is empirically based on the sectoral studies
(CLUP Volume 2) of the Municipality and recommendations of the MTWG

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
during consultation meeting in view of the development needs of the

Municipality in the next 10 years.
The residential areas have the highest sectoral demand of 203.72

hectares or 85% of the total housing requirement. This translates to a
total of 5,962 housing backlog for the Municipality.
Commercial areas are comprised of 39.20 hectares of the total land area.
However, commercial area is needed near the port terminal for the
community 昀椀sh landing center in Barangay 4, slaughter house in
Barangay 4 and expansion of commercial areas in urban barangays
(Barangay 1-4), in Balibago along the national road and in Lucsuhin along
the provincial road and expansion in the existing commercial area, which
result to 203.72 hectares of total sectoral demand for commercial use.
There is a need to expand institutional areas to accommodate its future

needs. Institutional requirement is set at 5 hectares per 15,000
population. The sectoral demand for institutional areas was computed to
be 7.78 hectares. Thus, the proposed land area to be allotted for the
institutional areas is 30.85 hectares. Also, there is a projected
development needs for the construction of junior and senior high schools,
a convention hall and the new municipal hall, these constitute a total
requirement of 14.47 hectares.
Currently, there is a total 2.58 hectares for parks and recreation areas.
However, given current population, the sectoral demand for parks and
recreation uses is 40.38 hectares. In order to meet the needs of the
population in the coming years, additional areas for parks and recreation
purposes needs to be explored and suitable area for such kind of land use
be identi昀椀ed.
The projected area requirement for burial grounds was computed by

multiplying the projected number of deaths with the participation rate and
the minimum plot size of 1.0 meter by 2.44 meters. In the case of
Calatagan, there is already a total of 9.17 hectares for their cemetery. The
existing land area of the cemetery is more than enough for the future
needs of Calatagan, thus there is no need to increase area for this land
use within this planning term.
Given the average area of 100 sqm per household and the 85% housing
requirement for a Municipality, there is a total of 42.25 hectares land area
requirement for socialized housing in Calatagan. This excludes other
facilities needed in establishing a socialized housing such as roads, parks
and other facilities. The local government allocates around 42.68 hectares

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
of land in Sambungan/ Lucsuhin area. This has been previously allocated

in 2001 CLUP by the local government.
The agricultural areas of Calatagan based on its existing land use is

6,802.41 hectares. However, due to a proposed conversion to other land
uses, an approximate 10% of the existing agricultural area is being
proposed to be reduced, based on the 10% allowable area for
reclassi昀椀cation to other uses.
Based on the development needs, an additional of 20.47 hectares is

needed to accommodate the needs of the future tourism area of
Calatagan. The expansion in the tourism area shall be allotted for a
waterpark, beach resorts as additional economic enterprises of the local
government in Barangay 4, and expansion of tourism areas in Sta. Ana
and Bagong Silang, making a total sectoral demand for tourism use of
15.80 hectares.
Currently, the Municipality’s infrastructures which include roads and other

utilities and the ecology center where the MRF is located cover 135.04 ha.
The roads and utilities of Calatagan shall serve as the means for 昀氀ow of
exchanging goods and services within the Municipality and to its
neighboring localities. This also constitutes the bypass connecting port
terminal to the national road in urban areas of Poblacion. In total, the
sectoral demand for roads and utilities is 4.36 hectares. Meanwhile, the
current demand for sanitary land昀椀ll in the Municipality is 0.73 ha which
shall be proposed to be established in lieu of the existing ecology center.
Barangays Talibayog, Baha, Paraiso and Biga are the identi昀椀ed areas for
industrial activities in Calatagan. To date, there is a total of 922.09
hectares alloted for industrial land use in the Municipality. Given the
existing area for industrial land use and the projected sectoral demand for
this, there is more than enough area alloted for industrial land use.
Bu昀昀er areas are areas that surround or bound identi昀椀ed protection areas.
These areas also serve as dividers to usually con昀氀icting land uses. Thses
act as mutliple use zones where levels of access and uses are
progressive, ranging from less restrictive to restrictive use as you move
along the outskirts of the bu昀昀er areas towards the area it bounds. Bu昀昀er
areas are crucial in allowing di昀昀erent land use categories of land to be
implemented parallel to each other. Such is the case of the industrial
areas located in Barangays Talibayog and Baha, whereindustrial areas are
found and conservation areas will be designated on the other, existing in
parallel to each other. Given the distance of the two di昀昀erent land uses
from each other, a 20-meter bu昀昀er zone shall be designated in between
the industrial areas and the coastal areas. By doing so, e昀昀ects and

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
impacts of industrial activities to the coastal environment of Barangays

Talibayog and Baha can be minimized and prevented.
The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), de昀椀nes easement
as “distance from the highest tide line (for coastal areas) or edge of the
normal high-water line/ banks (for rivers and streams), within which
development is not allowed”. Easement is an important feature of a land
use especially of rivers and other kinds of water bodies. One of the
mandates of the local government is to declare easements especially
when “risk considerations make it necessary to protect life and property,
and regulate development within its territory” (HLURB). In Calatagan, a
legal easement of 3-meter wide was delineated in both sides rivers of the
Municipality such as the Ermitanyo and Santiago Rivers. The coast of
Calatagan provides areas that can be allotted for ecotourism activities.
However, it is in the coastal areas where marine habitats are also present.
In the case of the coastal areas of Calatagan a legal easement of 5 to 10
meters and a bu昀昀er of 5 meters from the designated easement shall be
allotted. This is to ensure that tourism development will not hinder the
protection, conservation and preservation of ecologically-important
species and habitats within the coastal area of Calatagan.
In terms of the PUD, mining/quarrying, mangrove and 昀椀shpond areas, no

expansion is needed and foreseen. However, ensuring proper solid waste
management and prevention against pollutive activities are of high
priorities for these areas.

Proposed Land Uses
The proposed general land and water use incorporate the development
thrusts that the Municipality of Calatagan is aiming for. Land capability,
soil suitability, hazard susceptibility and protected areas were all
considered in the determining the future land and water uses of
Calatagan. The whole of Calatagan, having 10,757.99 hectares of total
land area is divided into the following proposed general land and water
use (Table 7, Map 18). A comparison of the existing and proposed land
uses are shown in Table 8.
Agriculture
Given the allowable 10% of the total agricultural area for reclassi昀椀cation
to other land uses, the existing agricultural land area (6,802.41 hectares)
shall be reduced to 6,122.17 hectares in response to the sectoral demand
of other land uses and proposed developments and expansion in the
Municipality. The agricultural area in Calatagan shall now cover 56.91% of
the Municipality’s total land area.
Residential Area
In order to address the backlogs and the future housing needs of

Calatagan, there is a need to expand existing residential areas in di昀昀erent
barangays particularly those along the roads. Although there is only a
residential demand of 203.72 hectares, the proposed land area shall be
1,084.26 hectares to accommodate future migration due to the expected
development in tourism and industrial sectors.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
Commercial Area
The commercial areas of Calatagan serve as one of the primary venues in

the locality where economic activities thrive. The proposed land area that
shall be allotted for commercial area is 65.58 hectares. The expansion
areas shall include the proposed Community Fish Landing Center (CFLC) in
the west side of port terminal will be established in Barangay 4. Other
complementing commercial establishments within Calatagan not included
in the proposed commercial area are tourism establishments such as
Playa Calatagan.
Institutional Area
Responding to the needs of providing readily available and accessible

public services that can cater to the populace of Calatagan, the proposed
30.85 hectares shall be allocated for institutional areas. Several school
buildings shall also be constructed in the Municipality. There will be two
(2) more junior high school buildings that shall be constructed between
Barangays Sambungan and Real. These institutions will cater the
barangays nearest to it, namely: Hukay, Encarnacion, Carlosa, Luya,
Bucal, Sambungan, Real. In relation to the senior high school buildings,
there will be two (2) additional buildings that shall be constructed for
future use. A total of three (3) public high schools are to be constructed
within the planning period. Currently, there is one (1) senior high school
building being constructed in Barangay 2 which occupies an area of about
1.62 hectares. The Municipal Hall of Calatagan will be relocated to
Barangay 2. The current municipal building will be converted to a museum
which will showcase the rich and diverse history of Calatagan. Lastly, a
convention center o昀昀ering facilities for holding large meetings and
conference was initially determined measuring around 5 hectares in Sta.
Ana. The convention center can attract tourists needing such facility for
their business while also having an easy access to ecotourism areas in the
Municipality.
Parks and Recreation Areas
Open spaces intended for parks and recreational areas shall follow rules
and regulations such as PD 957, BP 220 and related laws in identifying
and allocating areas for such purposes. According to Presidential Decree
No. 1216, subdivision projects with one (1) hectare or more shall have a
reserved 30% of the gross area for open space. These open spaces shall
have the following standards that shall be allocated for parks, playgrounds
and recreational use:
a. 9% of gross area for high density or social housing (66 to 100

family lot per gross hectare).

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
b. 7% of gross area for medium-density or economic housing (21 to

65 family lot per gross hectare).
c.3.5 % of gross area low-density or open market housing (20

family lots and below per gross hectare).
Although there are already open 昀椀elds in the PUD area, a public play昀椀eld
is proposed to be established in Barangay 1, near the residential areas
measuring up to 1.5 hectares. In total, 42.96 hectares is proposed area for
parks and recreation.
Cemetery
The existing land area allotted for cemetery in Calatagan will retain its
total area. Having a total land area allocation of 9.17 hectares, the
Municipality has more than enough to cover the burial ground
requirements for the next 10 years.
Socialized Housing
The existing socialized housing in the Municipality shall be included in the

proposed expansion. Socialized housing in Barangays Lucsuhin and
Sambungan were identi昀椀ed. A total of 43.07 hectares is the proposed
expansion in terms of the socialized housing sectoral demand of
Calatagan.
Tourism
The tourism areas of Calatagan shall be expanded to 329.24 hectares.

Upper portion of Lago de Oro will be expanded which will also include the
proposed water park covering a total of 40 hectares. Ecotourism areas in
Barangays Sta. Ana and Bagong Silang will be expanded. A beach resort
will be constructed in the west side of Calatagan’s Port Terminal. This will
be part of the economic enterprise proposed by the local government.
Lastly, another area which shall be part of the eco-tourism zone in the
Municipality is the Bunbon Island in Talisay. It was estimated to cover
around 14 hectares of land, of which seven (7) hectares were identi昀椀ed as
forested areas.
Infrastructure and Utilities
The proposed area for infrastructure and utilities shall be 139.40 hectares.
A bypass road is suggested from the Port terminal connecting to the
National Road. This is to ease the expected tra昀케c in the Poblacion area
with the construction of 昀椀sh landing area near the port terminal and beach
resort in Barangay 4. The estimated length of the proposed road network
is around 3.5 km. Also, all of the barangay roads in Calatagan shall be

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
improved by constructing a 6-meter wide road along with a 1-meter side

sidewalk for each side. Aside from this, unpaved farm-to-market roads will
be rehabilitated for improved transport of goods. Tourism roads from the
national roads going to Ang Pulo will have a total length of 9.6 kilometers.
Sanitary land昀椀ll
An area of 昀椀ve (5) hectares shall be allotted for the establishment of

Sanitary Land昀椀ll (SLF) to be located in Barangay Sambungan. The existing
ecology center where the MRF is located shall no longer be expanded. The
Municipality plans to cater the solid wastes of commercial establishments
while industrial establishments will be encouraged to have their own
waste disposal facilities. In order to do so, expanding more areas to be
allotted for solid waste disposal is necessary. It should be noted that the
operation and design of SLF shall be in accordance with the guidelines set
under the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003) and shall
cover appropriate precautionary measures given that there is no identi昀椀ed
area in Calatagan that is highly suitable for land昀椀ll as per soil suitability
rating.
Bu昀昀er Zone
Bu昀昀er areas is crucial in allowing di昀昀erent land use categories of land to

be implemented parallel to each other. Such is the case of the industrial
areas that is located in Barangays Talibayog and Baha. These barangays
have industrial area and designated conservation areas existing in parallel
to each other. Given the distance of the two (2) di昀昀erent land uses from
each other, a 20 meter bu昀昀er zone shall be designated in between the
industrial areas and the coastal areas. By doing so, e昀昀ects and impacts of
industrial activities to the coastal environment of Barangays Talibayog
and Baha can be minimized and prevented.
PUD
The existing PUD area of Calatagan will be decreased from 1,311.46 ha to

1,307.77 hectares to allocate bu昀昀er areas in Baha and Talibayog. This
translates to about 12% of the total land area of Calatagan.
Industrial Area
Areas for industrial development shall no longer be expanded. In the

areas of Talibayog and Baha, a cement plant will be initially established.
The industrial area of Calatagan is found to be compatible with other
industrial areas in the adjacent municipalities of Balayan Bay. As earlier

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
mentioned, bu昀昀er areas shall be allocated in the industrial areas, thus,

land area for industrial use shall now be 920.66 hectares.
Mining/ Quarry
Mining/Quarrying areas already have its respective allocated area. Given

its existing land allocation, the proposed land use for mining/quarry shall
not be expanded for the planning period. The area for mining/quarry
activities shall remain 70.04 hectares
Mangrove Area
Calatagan has numerous mangrove forests along its coastal fringes. The
proposed area for the mangroves shall be 323.19 hectares. The protected
mangrove areas are areas located within a declared protected area in
Calatagan, speci昀椀cally in Barangays Tanagan and Bagong Silang. Thus,
an additional area for protected mangrove areas with a total of 3.41
hectares is also proposed for the Municipality.
Fish pond
Fish ponds were reduced by 2.06 hectares due to the conversion of some
昀椀sh ponds in Calatagan to mangrove area. The 昀椀sh ponds shall measure
247.26 hectares or 2.30% of the total land area of Calatagan.
Legal Easement
One of the mandates of the local government is to declare easements

especially when “risk considerations make it necessary to protect life and
property, and regulate development within its territory” (HLURB). In
Calatagan, a legal easement of 3-meter wide was delineated in both sides
of the rivers of the Municipality such as the Ermitanyo and Santiago rivers.
In the coastal areas, 5 to 10-meter legal easement and 5-meter bu昀昀er
were designated. A total of 13.63 hectares is the proposed expansion for
the easement of Calatagan. Given the future development especially in
the coastal areas of Calatagan, a projected expansion is recommended to
ensure that the coastal areas can have “safe” zones and be resilient
against disasters. The proposed easement for the rivers of Calatagan is
an additional of 7 meters which will total to 10 meters for the proposed
easement. The initial legal easement of 5 to 10 meter is proposed to
expand by 5 meters having a total of up to 15 meters proposed legal
easement. The bu昀昀er areas for the coastal zone shall be retained to 5
meters.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
Proposed Urban Land Use
The proposed urban land use of Calatagan will be characterized by mixed-

use development. The urban areas of Calatagan shall be composed of
institutional areas, residential areas, commercial areas, 昀椀sh port and
ecotourism sites (Table 9 and Map19).
The agricultural areas located in the urban barangays of Calatagan cover

424.28 hectares of the total urban land area of the Municipality. However,
in response to the future development in the area particularly the
construction of Community Fish Landing Center in the urban area, there
will be a decrease in the land area for agricultural production which will
now be 372.98 ha. The remaining areas suitable for agriculture need to be
managed carefully with strict implementation and compliance to the laws
pertaining to utilization of agricultural areas.
The total proposed allocation for commercial area in the urban areas is
27.04 hectares. There is an expected increase in the existing commercial
area in the urban areas of Calatagan particularly in Barangays 1 to 4. This
can be attributed to the proposed construction of Community Fish Landing
in the area. The existing Municipal Hall of Calatagan shall be used as a
museum which will showcase the culture, heritage and long history of
Calatagan. The new Municipal Hall shall be transferred to a new location
within the urban area. The new Municipal Hall shall be able to cater a
larger populace while also functioning as the center of government for
Calatagan. Parks and recreation areas shall be increased in compliance
with laws and policies pertaining to the allocation of such use. Increased
economic and commercial activities can attract not only investors but also
people to settle down in the urban areas of Calatagan. The increased
population in the urban areas shall require an increase in the allotted
residential areas of the Municipality with a total area of 116.83 hectares.
In terms of the coastal related resources and activities, the proposed

allocation of area for 昀椀sh pond shall remain the same. The mangrove
areas in the urban barangays shall remain the same with a proposed area
of 20.13 hectares.
Roads and utilities in the urban areas of Calatagan will be increased to

26.73 hectares due to the bypass road to be constructed in the area.
Improving infrastructures can also be used in attracting tourists in the
locality. The existing Ecology Center where the MRF is located shall no
longer be expanded (.54 ha). There is a proposed sanitary land昀椀ll outside
the urban (Sambungan) area which shall accommodate the increasing

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
waste production brought about by increasing population and commercial

and industrial growth in the Municipality.
Complementing the ecotourism development in Calatagan, a total of

11.21 hectares shall be allotted in the expansion of tourism sites in the
area. The expansion areas for ecotourism sites shall be increased due to
various coastal development such as construction of beach resorts and
water park complementing and ecotourism land use. A comparison of the
existing and proposed urban land use is shown in Table 10.

Proposed Water Use
The vast municipal waters of Calatagan call for a water use allocation
which will ensure the sustainable use and management of its coastal
resources. The coastal areas included in the proposed water use are the
seagrass meadows, mangrove areas, conservation areas and reef areas
(Table 11 and Map 20).
Tourism areas are found along the coastal areas of Calatagan. These are
found in the coastal areas of Barangays Balisage, Talisay, Hokey, Bagong
Silang and Sta. Ana. There are already established resorts along the
coastal fringes of Calatagan which already cater to various tourists visiting
the areas. The proposed area for tourism is 3,276.96 ha. Given the close
proximity of some of the tourism areas with conservation areas, a bu昀昀er
of 20 to 30 meters is also proposed to ensure integrity of the conservation
areas side-by-side with ecotourism activities and establishments.
Seaweeds grow abundantly in the municipal waters of Calatagan. Given

its economic value in the market, seaweed farming serves as another
source of income for the people of Calatagan. In relation to this, additional
seaweed area in Barangay 4, 2, 1, Balitoc, Gulod and a small area in
Quilitisan will be established. The seaweeds area shall cover a total of
266.01 hectares of the total municipal waters of Calatagan
The mangrove areas shall retain its land area of 30.37 hectares or about
0.04% of the total area allocated for water use. The mangrove areas shall
serve as a bu昀昀er, conservation area and signi昀椀cant habitat to the coastal
environment of Calatagan.
There are numerous conservation areas that were identi昀椀ed in Calatagan.

The proposed water use in terms of conservation areas will cover 1,064.19
hectares of the municipal waters of Calatagan. These areas can still be
utilized for purposes other than conservation activities. However, strict
implementation of laws and policies pertaining to the use of the
conservation areas needs to be followed to ensure protection of these
areas.
Reefs act as natural barriers for strong waves that might pose risk to the
coastal barangays of Calatagan. The existing reef areas measure 2,110.97
hectares. Through conservation activities and e昀昀orts, the size of the reef
areas shall be ensured to remain as it is or be expanded through
promotion of coral reef protection using di昀昀erent technologies and
methodologies.
Table 12 shows the existing and proposed water use for the Municipality
of Calatagan. In general, the existing and proposed water use will be the
same with the addition of the seagrass overlay for the municipal waters of
Calatagan.

The 1987 Constitution
The 1987 Constitution serves as the primary law that provides guidelines
on the use of resources for the country. Speci昀椀cally, Article 13 Section 1
states “The Congress shall give highest priority to the enactment of
measures that protect and enhance the right of all the people to human
dignity, reduce social, economic, and political inequalities, and remove
cultural inequities by equitably di昀昀using wealth and political power for the
common good. To this end, the State shall regulate the acquisition,
ownership, use and disposition of property and its increments”.
Additionally, Article 12 Section 6 states that “The use of property bears a
social function and all economic agents shall contribute to the common
good. Individuals and private groups, including corporations, cooperatives,
and similar collective organizations, shall have the right to own, establish

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
and operate economic enterprises, subject to the duty of the State to

promote distributive justice and to intervene when the common good so
demands”. This particular section explains the rationale behind regulation
of use of property. Given these articles, the use and allocation of water
and land resources in the Philippines are further strengthened.
Republic Act No. 7160 or the Local Government Code
The Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) provides the legal
mandate and policies for LGUs on their local planning, legislation,
implementation, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation. This is re昀氀ected in
Sections 16, 20(c), 447(2) (vii), 458(2) (vii), 447(2) (ix) and 444(b) (3) (vii).
It is also included in RA 7160 the legal bases of formulating the CLUP of
each municipality in the country under Sections 106(a); 109, a, 1-2 and
458(2) (ix); 476(7).
Memorandum Circular No. 54
Reclassi昀椀cation and allocation of lands to other uses can be done by cities

and municipalities given the existing and projected needs of the locality.
Such is true even for agricultural lands. However, agricultural lands under
RA 6657 covered by CARP and those also under Administrative Order 20
series of 1992 cannot be reclassi昀椀ed nor converted for uses other than its
current use.
Executive Order No. 124
Executive Order No. 124 provides guidelines on evaluating areas for

purposes of converting them to socialized housing. Identi昀椀cation of areas
to be converted for socialized housing purposes can also be done at the
local government unit level in cooperation with designated National
Government Agencies
Republic Act No. 7279 or the Urban Development and

Housing Act of 1992
The Urban Development and Housing Act (UDHA) (RA 7279) provides the
de昀椀nition of the land use plan that LGUs are required to follow. The law
states that a land use plan is the “rationale approach of allocating
available land resources as equitably as possible among competing user
groups and for di昀昀erent functions consistent with the development plan of
the area and the program under this Act. “This law also covers urban and
urbanizable lands and similar areas which can be utilized for socialized
housing.

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
Executive Order No. 71
Executive Order No. 71 provides mandate for LGUs in approving

subdivisions plans as guided by the HLURB. The concerned LGU may ask
for assistance to other concerned agencies in relation to subdivision plans.
Republic Act No. 8749 of the Philippine Clear Air Act of 1999
The Philippine Clean Air Act provides the enabling policies in order to
regulate activities and materials that might contribute to the pollution of
the air. Through the partnerships of LGUs, NGOs, POs and academe,
emission and other related activities are expected to be eliminated if not
lessened.
Republic Act No. 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste

Management Act of 2000
The Republic Act No. 9003 provides policy mandates for the management
of solid wastes. The management involves a systematic and
comprehensive process of solid wastes produced by the population.
Through this law, the responsibility of LGUs up to the barangay level in
the collection was speci昀椀ed to ensure optimum segregation of wastes in
the locality.
Republic Act No. 9275 or the Clean Water Act of 2004
The available clean and safe drinking water are decreasing in such a rapid
rate which presents a big problem to the water resources of any given
locality. The Clean Water Act of 2004 provided legal mandates to protect,
preserve, rehabilitate and monitor di昀昀erent kinds of waters in the country.
This is further strengthened by DAO 2016-08 which provides water quality
standards for the country.
Presidential Decree 1067 or the Water Code of the

Philippines
Unlike the Clean Water Act, PD 1067 aims to guide managers and
stakeholders in establishing principles and frameworks for the utilization,
allocation, conservation and protection of water resources of the country.
They took it further by specifying the rights of water owners and users in
relation to their water utilization.
Republic Act 10654
The updated Fisheries Code of the Philippines provides mandates for the
LGUs in their utilization of their 昀椀shery resources. This law guides the
formation of local Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Councils

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
(FARMCs) in the respective LGUs. This is the organized group who also
manages the agricultural and 昀椀shery sector in a local government unit.
This law also provides the framework in establishing municipally-declared
marine protected area for LGUs.
Republic Act No. 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009
Tourism has been an increasing industry in the Philippines. In order to

regulate and control the use of land and water resources for tourism, a
law that contains guidelines on tourism areas and activities should be
established. Thus, the Tourism Act of 2009 provides mandates in
achieving ecologically sustainable, economically-viable, and socially
equitable tourism sector for the country. Through this law, a tourism
development plan shall be prepared by the local government unit which
will serve as the basis for implementing tourism-related activities.
Republic Act 9729 or the Climate Change Act of 2009
The increasing intensity and occurrence of disasters calls for a uni昀椀ed law
in which climate change shall be mainstreamed. The Climate Change Act
of 2009 assigned the local government and barangay units as the
frontline agencies in tackling climate change action and activities in their
respective localities. In addition, climate adaptation became a necessity to
be mainstreamed in any planning activities.
Republic Act 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction

and Management Act of 2010
The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010

required LGUs in mainstreaming their CCA/DRR into their local plans. In
doing so, increased adaptation, resiliency and mitigation can be slowly
achieved. This law also provided guidelines in the formulation of the local
DRR council. The council shall be the ones to approve, monitor and
evaluate the implementation of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Plan. They will also ensure that CCA/DRR are mainstreamed
into their local plans.
National Framework for Physical Planning 2001-2030
The National Framework for Physical Planning 2001-2030 embodies the

overall goal of the country’s development track. At the national level, the
guiding principles that shall be considered includes food security,
environmental stability, ecological integrity, rational urban development,
spatial integration, equitable access to resources, strengthening of
private-public sector partnership, increased people empowerment,

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
recognition of rights of our Indigenous Peoples, and encourage and adopt

the interplay of market forces.
Regional Physical Framework Plan 2004 – 2030
CALABARZON plays a key role in national economic growth and

development in addition to NCR and Central Luzon. Its proximity to Metro
Manila is an advantage for foreign direct investments. The development
opportunities of the region are as follows:
 Modern and strategic port interchanges

 Well-developed and ecologically friendly industrial core
 Competitive agriculture production
 High quality educational institutions and human capital
 Firmed-up Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) road

The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2014

- 2022
The Province of Batangas serves as one of the nationally and

internationally recognized gateway of the country. Gearing towards the
development of its industry, agriculture and ecotourism, the Province of
Batangas strengthens its key sectors from its municipalities to achieve its
overall goal for the municipality. To further develop and enhance the
inherent advantages of the province, spatial strategies and functional
roles of each of the municipalities comprising Batangas province were
identi昀椀ed and served as their respective development thrusts.

plan. The proposed programs and projects for Calatagan shall serve as a
means of achieving its goals and vision. Also, these shall be the inputs for
the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), Executive Legislative
Agenda (ELA) and Annual Investment Program (AIP).
Institutional Mechanism
The institutions present in the locality shall be the spearheads in ensuring

that the CLUP is fully implemented. Responsible o昀케ces need to be
strengthened and further capacitated to attain optimum functionality.
Aside from this, inter-agency activities and agreements to fully implement
institutional mechanism activities are highly encouraged. The o昀케ces that
shall be responsible for this are listed below:
 MPDO
 O昀케ce of the Municipal Engineer
 Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management O昀케ce
 MENRO
 MAO
To further strengthen the institutional capacity, special committees shall

be formed and established:

the development of the rural areas in the Municipality. They will
ensure that delivery and access to basic services can be
attained.
2. Business and Investment Committee - the committee that will

review, approve, monitor and assist the establishment of local
and foreign investments.

where several LGUs and islands are included. In order to assure e昀昀ective
co-management of the resources within this network, an inter-LGU and
Island alliance is crucial. This is to ensure that resources for all of the
LGUs involved are safeguarded and conserved.
Localization at the barangay or community level
The barangay units have the potential to contribute signi昀椀cant outputs to

the development of Calatagan. Thus, empowering the barangays of
Calatagan needs to be capacitated in terms of their ability to develop their
own development plans. By doing so, the mobilization of the barangays
and steering them toward the development objectives and goals of the
Municipality can have enormous impact to the locality.
Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Plan

/Advocacy

materials will contain current information on the existing land use,
proposed land use and the zoning ordinances that shall be implemented in
the locality. Aside from this, explanation as to the importance on following
through the development strategies, proposed land uses and zoning
ordinances will also be presented. Lastly, the IEC materials shall be

Monitoring, Review and Evaluation System

Monitoring, review and evaluation of plans and programs are necessary in
ensuring development goals and objectives are being met. Given the
importance of these activities, a system in which these three can be done
should be e昀케cient and e昀昀ective in keeping track of the actions
undertaken. In order to ensure the adherence in conducting these
activities, a municipal monitoring team or oversight committee is
necessary. This group shall ensure that indeed the implementation of the
CLUP are being met.
Municipal Monitoring Team or Oversight Committee
The Local Development Council (LDC) is mandated by virtue of the Local

Government Code in the preparation, monitoring, review, and evaluation
of LGU plans. In this regard, a Monitoring, Review, and Evaluation (MRE)
body shall be formed and tasked with the responsibility of overseeing the
implementation of the CLUP and its ZO. The Municipal Government shall
be the one responsible in the identi昀椀cation of the group composition of
the MRE. However, the following are suggested to be the members of the
said MRE body:
a. Lead Technical and Implementing Arm – MPDO and Local

Zoning/Enforcement O昀케ce, representative from the Committee
on Land Use of the Sangguniang Bayan, and Local Zoning Review
Committee
b. Members: Local Sectoral Units/Department (e.g. MDRRMO,

MENRO, Tourism, Agriculture, Heritage/Cultural Committee)
CLUP MRE Systems and Procedures

implementation of CLUP and ZO shall be observable. The baseline data,
information, and the agreed outcome indicators of the Municipal
Government shall be utilized in the formulation an instrument for MRE
activities. The sample MRE matrix below can be utilized as a means of
monitoring and evaluating the implementation of CLUP and ZO of the

A “Project Implementation Monitoring System” can be put into place in

order to have a comprehensive, e昀케cient and e昀昀ective means of
monitoring programs and projects being implemented. This shall also
serve as a way of monitoring accomplishments, implementation gaps and
needs necessary in completing each program and project.
CLUP Monitoring Report Card
A CLUP report card is a mechanism utilized in tracking progress and/or

accomplishments in relation to achieving the development vision and
goals. This shall ensure the transparency and accountability of the
Municipal Government to the people of Calatagan. The CLUP report card is
derived from the MRE Matrix. The CLUP Report card shall also be used in
monitoring land use changes in the locality through locational clearances
approved, areas of reclassi昀椀ed lands and exceptions. The MPDC in
partnership with the TWG and other stakeholders shall be responsible in
facilitating this activity.
The local government may adopt a rating system that can clearly and
e昀昀ectively re昀氀ect the status and progress of implementation. This rating
system will also be used in monitoring results of interventions in achieving
the local government’s vision and goals. In order to complement MRE and

lOMoARcPSD|22152913
CLUP progress report card, surveys focusing on the perception and

satisfaction of local stakeholders can also be conducted. This shall be
done preferably by a third party in order to secure the objectivity and zero
biases in conducting the surveys. Results of this survey can be used in
identifying areas for improvement and eliminating unsatisfactory activities
throughout the implementation of CLUP and ZO.
