IV.4 PROFILE OF THE SITE

A. SITE BACKGROUND PROFILE

Figure 62: Site Background Profile

Iloilo City sits at the Southwestern edge of the Province of Iloilo in the island of Panay. Iloilo

Province has a land of 4,719.4 sq. kilometers and is bound on the north by the Province of capiz, on the

east by the Visayan sea and Guimaras Strait, on the west by the Province of Antique, and on the south by

the Gulf of Panay and Iloilo Strait. It has a population of 1,925,002*. With the current population growth

rate, the population is projected to increase to 532,059 in 2020. Its economy is mainly agricultural which

includes the production of major crops such as rice,coconut, fruits, cashew nuts, and mangoes. Iloilo

Province is also known as a major source of fish products with its rich marine and aquatic resources.

Aside from agriculture, the province also has other economic activities. It includes manufacturing and

crafts businesses such as textile, pottery, and furniture-making. Banking,commerce,retail, service sectors ,

and schools are also present especially in urbanized areas.

B. DEMOGRAPHY

Iloilo City has a population of 424, 619 and contributes 5.98% to the region’s population of 7,102,438.

This figure is 58,228 higher than the 366,391 census in 2000.

49
C. ECONOMY

Economic Structure

Iloilo City is one of the country’s major economic powerhouses that are still anchored on the

agricultural economy of Panay Island and Western Visayas. It still serves as a commercial and trading

center for the region's agricultural and fisheries produce. Notwithstanding this however, Iloilo City now

also maintains a robust economy that currently competes not only with the rest of the country’s other

emerging economic boom towns but also with the rest of Southeast Asia in terms of business process

outsourcing and the call center industries. The City is complete with port facilities, an advanced

telecommunications, infrastructure, retail and trading, business process outsourcing , a robust banking and

financial sector. Wholesale and retail industry topped all business classifications from the year

2006.2007,2008, and 2010. It is apparent that there are no mining and quarrying establishments in the

City.

D. TRANSPORTATION AND ACCESS

Land Transport

Iloilo City is a very busy metropolis that currently faces a growing problem of vehicular traffic

congestion. Seventy percent (70%) of the City’s daily traffic volume can likely be found in the District of

Jaro while 30% passes through Molo and Mandurriao. This is primarily because the most number of

public utility vehicles come from rural areas outside the City. There are 51,337 motor vehicles registered

in Iloilo City for 2010. There are presently seven (7) bus- and jeepney terminals in the City. Six are

privately established and operated while one is City-Owned but privately-operated. These include the

Mohon Terminal in Brgy. Mohon Arevalo, the Mandurriao Terminal in Brgy. Hibao-an, Mandurriao, San

Pedro Terminal in Brgy.

Roads

50
 As stated in the 2010 Iloilo City Socio- Economic Profile, 202,483 kilometers of concrete, asphalt

and gravel roads facilitate land transport in Iloilo City, with 68.58 kilometers under national roads, and

151,903 kilometers City/ barangay roads. Road networks in Iloilo City are made up for only radial roads,

all of which originates from the City Proper of Iloilo City. The City Government however has proposed

the Iloilo Circumferential Road (C1) to alleviate heavy traffic. The most efficient solution, however, is

proper traffic management.

Bridges

Based on the 2011 annual report of the City Engineer’s Office a total of fourteen (14) local city

bridges were listed, of these eight (8) are concrete bridges and six(6) are of wooden construction. The

bridges’ widths vary from 1.20 meters in width (as the case for wooden bridges) to 8.90 meters ( as the

case for concrete bridges). The length varies from 23.00 meters of wooden bridges to 180 meters of

concrete bridges. The smallest bridge constructed by the city is found at Brgy. Habog-habog which is a

1.90m x 26.70m wooden bridge that crosses the Batiano River in Molo and which only serves

pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles and tri-sikads. The biggest bridge constructed by the city is a 8.90m x

137m concrete bridge found in Brgy. Rizal crosses the Iloilo River.

Air Transport

The Iloilo Airport in Mandurriao, Iloilo City became unable to support the increasing passenger

and cargo requirements for the locality. The national government built the New Iloilo International

Airport in Bangaray Duyan-Duyan Cabatuan which is 20 to 30 minutes away from Iloilo City. It is

classified as the fourth busiest airport in the country in terms of its passenger and cargo traffic, after the

top three International Airports- Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Mactan-Cebu International Airport

and Davao International Airport. The new Iloilo International Airport was built in International Standards

and was recognized as Class 1 by the Civil Authority of the Philippines. The airport complex consists of a

Class A Passenger Terminal.

51
Sea Transport

Iloilo City has the third largest port in the country after Manila and Cebu. Its port serves as a facility to

transport goods and passengers in and out of Iloilo City and Panay Island. The fine natural harbor has

three entry points, one of which was utilized for international and domestic cargo operations and other

two are used for inter-island cargo and passenger operations. The Iloilo River Wharf which has a total

length of 2 kilometers winding through the heart of the city, Fort San Pedro Port (formerly Old Foreign

Pier) consisting of a 634 -meters quay with a domestic passenger’s terminal, and Iloilo Commercial Port

Complex with a 22.20 hectares land area and 526- meters quay catering an average of three (3) foreign

vessels per month and two (2) domestic vessels per day.

E. UTILITIES AND COMMUNICATION

Power

Power supply in the city is currently maintained through the recently-constructed coal-fired power plant

in Brgy. Ingore, Lapaz that generates 162 megawatts of cheaper and more consistent supply. The recent

addition to the city’s vital infrastructure and utilities facilities has greatly contributed to an improved

environment for business and enterprise development not only for the city but also for the entire Western

Visayas region. As a result of the improved power supply new investments and constructions were

recently experienced in the city.

Water

The Metro Iloilo Water District (MIWD) is the sole distributor of potable water supply in Iloilo City. This

utilities provider has an output capacity of 39,622 cubic meters of water per day. This can adequately

supply the water demand of Iloilo City which is pegged at 23,591 cubic meters per day. There are 22,468

connections out of 180 barangays, only 171 of them are reached by the MIWD water connections of 95%

coverage of Iloilo City’s barangays. This is an improvement from 167 households of the previous year.

52
But in terms of population served, the water service provider reaches only 157,276 which are merely 37%

of Iloilo City’s entire projected population for 2008.

Communications

Communication plays a vital role in society as a key to economic development. Due to the emerging

technologies, various telecommunication services are offered by private and government

telecommunication companies. These are four telephone system companies that operate in Iloilo City,

Globelines, PLDT, RCPI/ Bayantel and Portable Telephones Interchange are the major providers of both

long-distance domestic and international communication services. The City Proper makes use of the most

telephone systems since major establishments such as hotels, shopping centers, universities and

restaurants are located. Mandurriao, on the other hand, has no existing telephone company operating and

it is suggested that Telephone Systems should be provided since areas are developing in the vicinity.

Drainage

Iloilo City is a floodplain that is made up of 90 percent of its total landmass with a low elevation of 2.63

meters above sea level. The low-lying characteristics of Iloilo City make it vulnerable not only to

flooding but also to perennial inundation. Heavy rainfall events in the 1994 typhoon caused 80% of the

City submerged in water, the huge volume of cascading waters from watersheds tributaries to erode

denuded river banks along the way. Collapsed embankments and eroded land felled trees that were

subsequently swept by the strong river currents onto the footing of bridges downstreams, creating a

“damming” effect and holding water momentarily.

Sewerage

Like most other cities in the Philippines, Iloilo City has no sewer system and relies on the discharge of

waste water through existing drainage lines. The combined sewer drainage system is being maintained

across all residential, and most commercial and institutional establishments in the city. Discharges

however come from three chambered septic tanks which are now being required by the City Engineer’s

53
Office. The 11 kilometer long Iloilo River that cuts across five of the city’s six districts currently acts as

the city’s main sewer line as combined sewer drainage line empty wastewater along its embankments.

Solid Waste Management

The City shall maintain its private sector-managed garbage collection services which deal with a total

daily waste generation rate of about 300 tons per day. This waste is generated by both resident and

daytime populations that produce solid waste at 8kgs./chiat/day. The Calajunan Sanitary Landfill will

soon be constructed according to DENR standards and will continue to only accommodate residuals.

Barangays will continue to collect and process recyclables as provided for by RA 9003 and a city-wide

waste segregation and recycling campaigns will be sustained the city shall continue to explore affordable

technologies at better managing solid waste and waste-to-energy PPP proposals are currently being

carefully studied by the existing Iloilo City Solid Management Board

Domestic Sea Routes

Currently, there are three (3) major ports in Iloilo City: Fort San Pedro Port, Iloilo River Wharf (IRW),

and International Commercial Port Complex (ICPC). The boat terminal in Ortiz Street as jump-off point

to Guimaras, wherein boats carry passengers going to theMunicipality of Jordan, the provincial capital.

The other boat terminal, located at Parola, also serves passengers traveling to another particular the town

of Buenavista. Numerous ferryboat terminals along Muelle Loney accommodate passengers going to

Bacolod City and other cities in the Visayas. There are at least eight daily trips to Bacolod City.

Land Connectivity with Metro Iloilo-Guimaras Towns

Iloilo plays a crucial role in the urbanization of the Metro Iloilo Guimaras Economic Development

Council established through presidential Executive Order No. 559 in August 2006 for local economic

development and tourism. The city supports and complements the functional roles and other socio-

economic activities of the neighboring MIGEDC municipalities of Oton, San Miguel, Sta. Barbara.

consumption.

The location to the methods and materials used in the design and construction process and for the actual

day to day running of the stadium once it is operational

Natural Cooling

Sun-shade protection can be provided by the roof structure and covering. Using sun protection elements

will help prevent surfaces from overheating and will naturally cool external areas that are hidden from the

sun, thus omitting the need to install artificial cooling systems that consume large amounts of energy.

Natural Ventilation

Natural ventilation can contribute to temperature control and improve stadium air quality, reducing the

risk of heat-related discomfort, which is likely to occur when large crowds congregate, and preventing

damp and surface condensation.

Design that includes good natural ventilation will also reduce the need for energy-intensive mechanical

ventilation and cooling systems.
