Naga City Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2000
i.
Foreword
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) is a vital

instrument in achieving an equitable and balanced development in
any given locality. It brings forth the judicious and sustainable use of
the citys physical and socio-economic resources --- its proper
allocation and regulation.
The CLUP guides leaders in demarcating areas which will
strategically yield optimum production and increased efficiency of
resources, for the CLUP is the basis of the citys Zoning Ordinance.
Not only is the CLUP an essential element in socio-economic
development but a potent planning tool as well. With it, planners can
determine and forecast needs of the future and for generations to
come, thereby making public servants ably prepared for even the
worst of scenarios.
In this light, the City Planning and Development Office
(CPDO) of the city government of Naga, under the able and
coordinative guidance of the Housing and Land Use Regulatory
Board (HLURB), has solicited the support and participation of various
sectors in the community in coming up with the most credible,
authentic and scientific document, meticulously planned and
researched.
The CPDO has coordinated and consulted with
authorities/representatives coming from different agencies and
sectors to validate its findings.
Thus, the Naga City Comprehensive Land Use Plan

(CLUP) 2000.

Executive Summary
The Highlights of the 2000 Comprehensive Land Use Plan are as

follows:
Social Sector.
On Education, additional teachers both in public and private
schools should be increased by 56 percent to cater to the projected
75 percent increase in the school-going age population in the next 5
years. This entails the construction of 65 additional classrooms and
a projected area requirement of 3 hectares for this expansion.
On Housing, some 3,033 housing units are projected for
construction in the next 5 years. This translates to a total land area
of 133 hectares for residential uses for the planning period.
On Health, Naga Citys adequate health facilities will have to
contend with the projected hospitalization rate increase by 75
percent in the next 5 years. A projected area requirement of 5.9
hectares is also needed to accommodate these health facilities in the
next 5 years. Among the measures proposed is the transformation
of the Naga City Hospital from a 22- bed capacity to a 40-bed
capacity hospital with complete medical equipment and laboratory
facilities.
On Social Welfare Services, the proliferation of street children
in the streets of the City, according to the CSWDO has been
indirectly linked to the presence of the DSWD Regional Lingap
Center. Thus, it is proposed that a Social Development Center, a
temporary receiving home for streetchildren, be established in Naga
City the latter to be transferred to other social welfare institutions
after a brief stay in this proposed institution.
On Sports and Recreation, although Naga City has adequate

sports and recreational facilities, open spaces in subdivisions should
be equitably allotted for the establishment of more parks and
playgrounds.
On Protective Services, lack of manpower and facilities has
resulted to the impotent responsiveness of police and firefighting
forces in the city. Thus, additional manpower, more state-of-the-art
telecommunications, rescue and transport facilities and sophisticated
skills and technologies should be prioritized by these protective
institutions.
Economic Sector.
Naga City, being the existing primary commercial and
industrial and finance center in this part of the region will need a wide
area for commercial and industrial activities. The 1994 Land Use
Plan of the city showed that commercial use accounts to only 1.6
percent of the total built-up area. If we will adapt the maximum
suggested ratio of 3 percent of the built-up area based on the
HLURB guidelines allocated for commercial use, the city will need
an additional estimated 28 hectares for commercial land use. But
since Naga is the undisputed commercial and industrial center in
Bicol, as mentioned earlier, the city, through its Naga City Investment
Board (NCIB), has identified eight priority areas for investment, as
included in this Land Use Plan. The eight (8) areas are the 1)
Central Business District I 2) East Highland Agro-Ecotourism Zone
in Pacol, Carolina and Panicuason 3) Concepcion Growth Corridor
in Concepcion Pequea, Concepcion Grande and Del Rosario 4)
Naga City Agro-Industrial Zone in Del Rosario, Cararayan, San
Isidro, Pacol and Carolina 5) Roxas-Panganiban Growth Triangle
(CBD II) 6) South Riverfront Growth Area in Sabang and Mabulo 7)
xiii

Market Development Zones in all residential areas and 8) the Joint
Agribusiness Zones in all agricultural areas.
On Agriculture, recommendations have been made to improve
the existing conditions particularly on farm technology, credit
support, technology information and dissemination, rehabilitation of
irrigation systems and other interventions. In addition, the city
government should tap the resources of the Australian International
Development Assistance Bureau Pilot Provincial Agricultural
Extension Project (AIDB PPAEP) as well as the European Unionfunded Agrarian Reform Support Program (ARSP) to implement
agricultural productivity measures.
On Commerce and Industry, various impediments to local
industrial development in Naga exist. They include limited sources
and low productivities in agriculture, small local market for industrial
goods, primarily because of low income, lack of skilled manpower,
lack of capital and marketing outlets and other infrastructure
supportive to industrial development. To address them, the following
measures are proposed: (1) maximize the use of indigenous
resources (2) provide incentives and necessary infrastructure
support services (3) provide employment opportunities to the
unemployed and the inactive age population, i. e., housewives and
out-of-school youth (4) promote agri-based and resource-oriented
enterprises (5) establish agro-industrial estate at Del Rosario,
Cararayan, San Isidro, Pacol and Carolina.
On Tourism. Because of the existing natural and man-made
tourism attractions located in three upper barangays, the Land Use
Plan has designated barangays Pacol, Carolina and Panicuason as
Agro-Ecotourism zones. It is recommended that the city: (1)
preserve, maintain and/or restore places of historical and cultural
landmarks like churches, plazas and schools, (2) develop the
Malabsay Falls as an eco-tourism estate, (2) Establish a local trade

area that will serve local and foreign tourists, particularly in availing
souvenirs, and samples of native products, (3) upgrade tourism
facilities and services such as hotels, restaurants, hotels, resorts and
entertainment centers, transportation and other facilities, (4)
operationalize the Naga City Museum to serve as window to our
glorious past.
Infrastructure Sector.
Naga Citys road situation cannot be said to be inadequate
considering that based on the conventional standard of 1 km. per
square kilometer, the city has already registered 1.9 km. per square
kilometer of land area. However, it can be said that all settlements in
the city are accessible by road, most of them are now concreted.
However, since the citys urbanization keep on expanding the city
necessitate the prioritization of the construction of new road projects
traversing strategic locations in the city. Funding support should be
given to five (5) proposed bridges (Sabang-Mabolo, Balatas-San
Felipe, Villa Corazon-Cararayan, Concepcion-Cararayan and the
Mabolo Circumferential Bridges) located in Nagas major river
peripheries.
On Drainage, Naga City has a shortage of efficient drainage
systems necessitating the establishment of storm drainage systems
in the identified flood-prone areas/streets within the city.
On Water utilities, it is proposed that MNWD commence its
water source development projects to serve the existing water
demand in Naga City, especially in the next five years.
On Power utilities , it is recommended that CASURECO II
initiate its expansion programs such as the installation of more power
xiv

lines in 7 barangays and 15 sitios. It is further recommended that
power lines be installed underground.
On telecommunications, it is recommended that new
telephone lines be installed. It is further recommended that
telephone lines be installed underground.
Public Administration and Local Government.
The 2000 Land Use Plan proposes the following salient
points: (1) Full computerization of all operations in the different
offices of the city. This will make transactions easier and faster.
There will be close coordination among offices involved in
development and financial planning; (2) Continuous training
program to update implementers in current developments. LGU
should come up with training programs based on sectoral needs.
The Trickle-down approach to the barangay level of all training
programs on local governance should be observed. (3) Review of
existing organizational structure and staffing patterns including
incentives and awards, and (4) the Improvement of Working
Conditions.
This includes construction/renovation of buildings,
purchase of new equipment and additional office supplies.
and (6) full implementation of the Naga City Disaster Mitigation

Program (NCDMP).
Land Use Sector.
The concentric/nodal growth strategy instead of the linear strip
development which, analogously, like mushrooms grow wildly and
uncontrollably when left by itself. By the former, key strategic points
around the City are identified for compact development, thus,
resulting to a fairly balanced and controlled development.
Our present land use utilizes the 8,448 hectares instead of the
7,748 hectares used in the 1994 land use plan which is in
consonance with the Land Management Bureaus (LMB) latest
circular.
Other highlights of this sector are the Networking of
Circumferential/Diversion Roads, automatic reconversion of idle
lands, imposition of Conversion tax, compact dent infilling strategy,
roadside clearance from constructions and strict control in the
conversion of prime agricultural lands. These new concepts were all
inputs made by the participants in the Seminar/Workshop on Naga
City Land Use Plan conducted earlier.
Environment Sector.
It has been determined that the city needs to establish a new
dumpsite, waste-recycling facility and a new public cemetery.
Coupled with these, are programs and projects recommended for
implementation: (1) the institutionalization of a City Environment and
Natural Resources Office (CENRO), (2) the Naga River Park
Development, (3) the Physical Rehabilitation of Naga River and
Waterways, (4) the Restoration of watershed vegetative cover, (5)
the implementation of a sustainable pollution prevention and control,

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1.2
INTRODUCTION
There is today a widespread interest in improving human

condition in its integral aspect. Various government policies and
programs have been initiated toward its attainment. Some of these
include pollution control, resettlement housing, industrial dispersal,
conservation of forest areas and watersheds, flood control systems,
disaster management and establishment of tree parks.
1.1
Background.
The present Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance of Naga

City was formulated and enacted in 1978. In 1994, the city came up
with the 1995-1999 Land Use Plan but because of some
technicalities, it was not approved by the HULRB. The plan and
ordinance takes effect only after approval of said government
agency.
The 1978 CLUP was the first attempt by the City Government
to rationalize the allocation and use of its land resources and
physical development. More than two decades already, the
obsolescent CLUP has been outpaced by the rapid urbanization and
development for the past years. Outmoded as it is, the present CLUP
tends to demarcate growth and development instead of serving as
an effective tool in the citys over-all socio-economic development.
The city, nonetheless, experienced tremendous strides in
physical development during the last five years. Thanks, no less, to
the influx of new investments, dynamic entrepreneurial spirit and
bullish economy. The scope of land use has so widely expanded
and diversified that new types of urban functions and commercial
activities, which were alien to present zoning regulations, have taken
roots. Problems, thus, on their zoning determination had posed
significant headaches to local planners.
Rationale.
Playing crucial role in the implementation phase is the

harmonious integration of all these programs to ensure
comprehensiveness and compatibility between the various land uses
and balanced development. Bit-by-bit planning and disjointed
implementation result normally to haphazard and sporadic growth of
the community. Absent a comprehensive and integrated land use
plan, developmental direction of ones community would be
wayward. The future would forever remain uncertain.
Uncontrolled urban growth and development usually engender
a lot of problems. Many of them are beyond solutions. Correcting
past defects caused by uncontrolled urban growth could entail
displacement of families, demolition of structures and huge
expenditures to defray the cost of redevelopment and resettlements
made mandatory by the Squatters Mandatory Resettlement or the
Lina Law.
Given all these, the Nagueo, in his quest for the collective
vision of An Maogmang Lugar, is tempted to ask: How will Naga An
Maogmang Lugar go through with its development for the next five
(5) years?
1.3
General Objectives
The new Land Use Plan of Naga City has the following
objectives:
1. To maximize the citys potentials for urban growth by
opening up new areas for urban use without prejudice to
the policy of the government to preserve prime agricultural
lands and promote sustainable ecological balance;
2. To further strengthen the citys role as the regional hub of
commerce, trade, services, education, religion and culture;
3. To further enhance the functional character of the Central
Business District (CBD) by continually undertaking
redevelopment and urban renewal programs;
4. To designate new areas as growth centers by integrating
functional areas into a comprehensive whole by
establishing a more coherent relationship among places of
residence, work, recreation, shopping, and education;
5. To strengthen the character or identity of each functional
area by eliciting private entities; and
6. To improve accessibility, transport and road network
system
7. To identify areas that are hazardous and prone to disaster
8. To control and regulate needless speculation of land
9. To avoid unwarranted conversion of prime agricultural
lands
1.4
Methodology
Quantitative methods were basically operationalized through

the local Geographic Information System (GIS), a computer-based
land use planning technology that is being managed by the
Electronic Data Processing (EDP) Unit , and the Geographical
Positioning Satellite (GPS), a mobile land positioning technology
(satellite imagery), which was generously shared by the City of Cebu
through the City Sharing Project of the League of Cities of the
Philippines. Every sector head also conducted its specialized studies
on the various government sector of the City, constantly validating
and reviewing every data and information which was capped by a
Seminar-Workshop on the Finalization of the CLUP 2000 that was
conducted on January 25, 2000. Subsequently, the CLUP
presentation to members of the City Development Council (CDC),
Urban Poor Housing Board, Naga City Investments Board, Naga City
Health Board, Peace and Order Council and Association of
Barangay Councils, to name a few, was conducted on March 2,
2000.
Qualitative methods, on the other hand, essentially took the
form of a SWOT analysis, a convenient tool which enabled the city
government and the host of technical bodies/agencies to do a
comprehensive sectoral analysis by focusing on the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing each subsector. Its
results served as the take-off point for the various policy
recommendations put forward in this revised plan. The SeminarWorkshop conducted in January this year also enabled the planners
to assess and evaluate the qualitative aspect of the planning and
research inputs/outputs.
A combination of quantitative and qualitative planning and

research techniques were employed for this planning document to
ensure comprehensiveness and accuracy of data.

A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF NAGA CITY
Sectoral Analyses: Needs, Recommendations and Strategies
CHAPTER 2
A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW
OF NAGA CITY
2.1
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF NAGA CITY
Even before the coming of the Spanish colonial government,

Naga, which was then a flourishing village off the riverbanks of the
storied Naga river, was already a thriving community. As pointed out
in the book of Prof. Danilo M. Gerona, a local historian, Naga was
then a premier village with a comparatively sophisticated weaponry
and surprisingly advanced technology. The name Naga derived its
origin from the narra trees which were then in abundance.
Thus, in 1573, when the Spanish Troops arrived led by Capt.
Juan de Salcedo, the colonizers were amazed to find a community
with a fairly well-advanced culture. In 1574, Captain Pedro de
Chaves founded Ciudad de Nueva Caceres in honor of Don
Francisco de Sande, then governor of the province and native of the
City of Caceres in Spain. Naga, the premier native village and then a
Spanish pueblo, formed part of the Spanish colonial city.
Nueva Caceres remained the capital of Ambos Camarines
provinces and later of the Camarines Sur province until the formal
creation of the independent component city of Naga under the
Philippine Republic. Naga Citys birth as a chartered city formally
took place on December 15, 1948 by virtue of Republic Act No. 305.
Rep. Juan Q. Miranda sponsored this legislative act which put flesh
into the citys bid to become among the only few independent
component cities in the country.
2.2
THE ROLE OF THE CITY IN THE REGION

Historical Role
History has established Naga as the religious, educational

and commercial center of the Bikol region, thus, its regional title as
the Heart of Bikol. Since the Spanish times, it has been the seat of
the Archdiocese of Caceres which oversees the whole region. It is
the site of three of the oldest colleges and learning institutions in the
country: the Holy Rosary Minor Seminary founded in 1793; the
Colegio de Sta. Isabel founded in 1868, the first normal school for
women in the Orient; and the Camarines Sur National High School,
founded in 1901 by Frank Crone, an American teacher, as the first
public high school in the region where the prominent figures in
politics have been schooled.
Naga is the undisputed trading and commercial center of
Bicolandia. The citys public market is the biggest in the region. It
boasts of two Central Business Districts (CBDs)--- the old CBD and
the newly opened CBD II; two malls (LCC Grand Central and the
ALDP) and the biggest single-structure public market in the region.
Above all, its famed annual celebration of the Feast of Our
Lady of Peafrancia, the Patroness of Bicol every third week of
September is practically the regional religious festival which gathers
the Bicolano faithful altogether.
Regional Framework Plan

Recognizing its critical role in regional development, the
current Regional Physical Framework Plan identified Naga City as
the center for regional commerce, finance and trade and
5

public/private services. The Plan also distinguished Naga as the
regions primary industrial hub and major service center to serve as
conduit for development of the Metro Naga area and the LegaspiIriga-Naga-Daet Growth Corridor (LINDGC). Finally, the Plan defines
the city, together with Legaspi, as Bicols major link to the National
Capital Region (NCR), Metro Cebu, Metro Davao and other regions
of the country.
Naga, therefore, is an indispensable factor in Bicols
movement towards development and progress.

In
1990,
about 891 persons
or
roughly
one
percent of the Naga
City's
total
population
were
reported
as
persons
with
disabilities (PWD).
Orthopedic handicap constitutes the highest percentage of

disabilities recording 25.14 percent followed by mental retardation at
12.79 percent and deafness at 10.10 percent. Other disabilities
include blindness, muteness, mental illness and multiple disabilities.
For all types of disabilities, the number of disabled males is higher
than that of the females.
In 1990, the literacy rate of the

population who are able to read and write
was registered at 98 percent.

year 2000. With the inmigration factor and other population movements taken into
account, the population estimates would be much higher.
Population Projection by Age Group

Table 2.10 shows that the 5-9 age group bracket
comprises the main bulk of the total population registering in
at 12.60 percent of the whole population followed closely
behind by the 10-14 and 15-19 age group brackets with
12.26 and 12.22 percent respectively.
As projected in a ten-year period (Table 2.10), the
same age group brackets will comprise the majority of the
city population. Age group brackets 5-9, 10-14 and 15-19 will
have 19,025, 18,507 and 18,448, respectively.

Population Projection By Barangay

Based on the annual growth rate of 1.94 percent, a nine-year
population projection was computed for every barangay (see Table
2.11). Total population for the 27 barangays is projected to reach the
150,000+ level on the
year 2004. Barangay

Meanwhile, total enrolment for private tertiary schools for
school year 1998-1999 was 17, 428. BCAT, the only public tertiary
school in Naga, had a total enrolment of 1,692 for school year 19981999.
The projected school going-age
population is estimated to increase by 75
percent in the next 6 years. Table 28
indicates school going-age and their
corresponding number of population.
Drop-out rate
The Drop-out rate for school year
1998-99 for elementary is 1.62 percent
while for secondary, 7.86 percent.
Compared to last years 1.36 percent and
7.36 percent for elementary and secondary,
respectively, an increase of 0.26 percent
and 0.5 percent is noted. This is attributed
to high cost of schooling maintenance
such as transportation, clothing and food.
Literacy Rate. The current literacy
rate of the city stands at 98 percent. The
presence of competitive schools from preschool to post-graduate has buoyed much
of this literacy level.

EDUCATION SECTOR NEEDS

Adequacy of Teacher / Classroom Facilities
For public secondary, there are 134 classrooms for 9,317

students, bringing to the fore a 1:70 classroom to student ratio.
With a teacher to student ratio of 1:37, Naga Citys public

elementary school education is highly adequate, compared to the

ratio of 1:25 (Please refer to Table 2.21 below).
As to adequacy of classroom facilities, Naga Citys classroom

to student ratio for public elementary is 1:41. As to public secondary,
the classroom to student ratio is 1:70 which means that there is
inadequacy of classrooms compared to the national standard of
1:50.
As to adequacy of classrooms, private tertiary schools in

Naga had a total of 343 classrooms, resulting to a student-classroom
ratio of 1:51 which means that classrooms are lacking compared to
national standards. BCAT, again the only public tertiary school in
Naga, had a total of 56 classrooms, resulting to a student-classroom
ratio of 1:50 which is at par with the national standard of 1:50.
(Please refer to Table 2.21 below).
Total number of public elementary teachers is 600, while total

number of pupils is 22,371. This yields a 1:37 teacher per student
ratio. (Please refer to Tables 2.19 & 2.21 on pages 22 and 24,
respectively).
For public secondary, there are 322 teachers for school year
1998 1999. Total number of students is 9,317. This results to a

Condition of Existing School Buildings
the present enrollees. However, compared against the national

standard of 1:50 classroom to student ratio, the city is short of 120
classrooms.
Of the 312 school buildings for public elementary schools, 36

are considered in good condition; 42, fair; 195 needs repair; 6 are
dilapidated, while 30 are condemnable. Construction is on-going for
3 buildings. Eighty-six are made up of concrete and steel trusses
while 226 are composed of mixed materials.
However, for private secondary schools with a student per

classroom ratio of 1:45, classrooms are more than enough to house
the present enrollment of 7,236.
For secondary schools, of the 66 school buildings, 7 are in

good condition; 20, fair; and 39 needs repair. 16 are made up of
concrete and steel trusses while 50 are composed of mixed
materials.
Tables 20 & 21 on pages 31 and 33, respectively indicate the
number of enrollment, teachers, classroom and available facilities in
the Naga City public schools, both elementary and secondary level.
Existing Needs of the Education Sector

Classroom Requirements for the Planning Period
Considering the existing classroom-student requirement ratio
of 1:41, Naga City has more than adequate classrooms to
accommodate the present enrollees for the public elementary level.
For public tertiary schools, the existing 1:50 student per

classroom ratio affords enough classrooms for the present
enrollment of 1,692.
Private tertiary, meanwhile, reflects a shortage of six (6)
classrooms with its student per classroom ratio of 1:51 which is
below national standard.
Teacher Requirement for the Planning Period

With a teacher-student ratio of 1:37 for public elementary and
1:31 for private, the city is highly adequate compared to the national
standard of 1:50. For public secondary, there are enough teachers
for the present enrollees, considering the existing teacher-student
ratio of 1:29, same for private; with a ratio of 1:27.
For tertiary education, teachers are highly adequate for Naga
City, given one teacher per student ratio of 1:25 for public and 1:22
for private.
Also for private elementary schools, the student per

classroom ratio of 1:49 affords enough classrooms for the present
enrollment of 4,963.
Determination of Space Requirement
For public secondary level, the DECS-City Schools division

has declared that the city is short of 58 classrooms to accommodate
Elementary. Of the 23 public elementary schools in Naga City,

56 percent (13) meet the DECS standard space requirement of 4
hectares (40,000 sq. m.). 44 percent (10), however, does not meet
25

the standard space requirement. An average shortage of 30,000
square meters is noted. Thus, about 3 hectares is required to
accommodate this expansion.
Secondary Schools. Of the 6 public secondary schools in
Naga City, 100 percent meet the DECS standard space
requirement.
Projected Requirements
For the planning period 2000-2004, the projected classroom
requirements for the elementary and secondary levels both in
private and public schools based on 50 students per classroom are
shown on Table 2.23 below. By 2004, additional 123 classrooms
are needed in the elementary (private) level while 106 private and
107 public classrooms for the secondary level are required. 167
elementary and 184 secondary teachers in private schools are
wanting by the year 2004.
For tertiary, 2,264 are needed by the year 2004 (private) and
197 for public.

Existing Situation of Housing Sector
Based on the 1990 NSO Census on Housing, there were

20,319 housing units in the city. The prevailing types of housing
units were the single-detached with 17,125 units or 84.28 percent of
the total housing units; 1,584 or 7.79 percent were multi-unit
residential (apartments, rowhouses, condominiums, townhouses);
753 or 3.71 percent units were duplex-type; 120 or 0.59 percent
were commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings which were
also being used for dwelling; and
the remaining 3.63 were
institutional living quarters and other
Table 2.29
housing units.
OCCUPIED HOUSING UNITS BY CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OF THE OUTER WALLS AND ROOF
1990
The ratio of households to

occupied housing units was 1:1.046.
This ratio suggested that there was a
sizeable existence of doubled-up
households in the city and thus, a
shortage in housing units of more or
less 816 due to doubling of
households. The same table revealed
that there was 5.865 household
population per occupied housing unit.
From the data gathered, majority of
the housing units were built of strong
materials both for roofing (53.14
percent) and for outer walls (76.72
percent)

statistics shows that 44.3 percent of the
households own the lot they are occupying, 22.3
percent are renting, while 29.1 percent are
occupying their housing lots for free with
consent of the owners while 3.3 percent are
occupying their housing lots for free without the

Mode of Acquisition of Housing Unit
Sources of Financing
As to the mode of acquisition of housing units, more than half

of households or 51.6 percent of the housing units were constructed
by the owner-households themselves with or without the help of
friends and relatives; while 26.5 percent were purchased. Only 72.3
percent of Naga's households actually own or are amortizing their
respective dwelling unit. In addition, a smaller 44.3 percent own or

Disaster Mitigation Plan. Records at the Urban Poor Affairs Office
(UPAO) indicate that about 55 percent of the urban poor families are
located in the flood-prone barangays and these include the following
barangays with their estimated number of urban poor families.
The Strategic Watershed Management Plan of Naga City has
identified about 500 households are living in the settlements or
houses of which are located in the river easements. Majority of the
33

families residing along the riverbanks lives in shanties or dwelling
units made of light materials which are oftentimes poorly
constructed.
Housing Projects
From the period 1995 to 2000, 14 housing projects are being
undertaken by private developers in Naga City. Table 2.36 below
itemizes said housing projects.
Based on the Naga City Disaster Mitigation Plan study, out of

the 33 resettlement sites for the
urban poor in the city, more than half

The Naga Kaantabay sa Kauswagan. To address the

needs of Naga's increasing urban poor population, which is
estimated to range between 4,000 to 5,000 families compared to
only 2,266 in 1980, the city government implemented the Naga
Kaantabay sa Kauswagan which focused on helping urban poor
communities obtain security of tenure by either acquiring their
homelots of
providing them new ones in government-owned
relocation sites.

In just six (6) years of implementation, the Program made possible
the disposal of 100.9705 hectares of private and government-owned
lands to almost 7,400 landless families. In 1994 to 1998 alone, it
distributed a total of 61.3748 hectares to a total of 4,464 families.
To date, the collected payments from the program beneficiaries
amounted to P3,167,741.32.
shallow wells, public faucets, streetlights and multi-purpose

pavements were provided and/or upgraded. As a result, the number
of city-assisted urban poor communities in the city rose dramatically,
from the original 9 when the program started in 1989 to more than
80 today. These urban poor communities are scattered in Naga's
21 urban barangays.
Moreover, the Program facilitated the development of 27

blighted urban poor communities in Naga, where multi-million peso

Problems and Development Needs

In 1995, Nagas housing backlog is estimated at 6,417 units.
By the turn of the century, it is estimated to reach 7,362 if current
trends hold and no strong government intervention is made.
This housing backlog is further aggravated by 187 units which
are classified as dilapidated/condemned and the 5,115 units which
need major repair based on the results of the 1990 NSO Census.
Also worth noting are the 1,029 residential units which are more than
40 years old. Also to be considered are those houses that are
situated in danger zones which need to be relocated as mentioned
earlier in this plan.
The
following
table
shows the estimated housing
needs of the city for the
planning period 2000 to 2004.

SOCIAL SECTOR
HEALTH
General Health Indicators
Health facilities. At present, Naga is home to a total of six
hospitals, two of which are government-owned while the rest are
private. The two government hospitals are the 673-bed Bicol
Medical Center along Panganiban Avenue and the 22-bed Naga
City Primary Hospital owned and operated by the Naga City
Government (please refer to Figure 2. 6 on page 51).
On the other hand, the four private hospitals, Mother Seton,
St. John, Ago Foundation and Bicol Integrated Health, boast of a
combined 248 beds which, together with the two government
hospitals' 695, bring Naga's total number of hospital beds to 943.
Birth, death rates. Per City Health Office (CHO) report, total
births in Naga in 1998 tallied an average of 4,733 while the number
of deaths was 759. The year 1998 was witness to a short-lived
epidemic, a sporadic dengue outbreak, that occurred in the city. A
timely defogging conducted by the local health office averted many
more would-be fatalities.
According to the primary data gathered from the local health
office, the city fertility indices are as follows:
Crude Birth Rate. The Crude Birth Rate (CBR) for Naga City
in 1998 is 34.51. There was an estimated 34 livebirths per
1000 population in year 1998. Compared to the 1994 CBR of
31.92, an eight percent (8 percent) increase is noted. Of the
actual live births (4,733) in 1998, 50 percent (2,366) are male
while 50 percent (2,367) are
Table 2.46
female.
Ten Leading Causes of
Morbidity, 1998
Bed-to-population ratio. Against the 1998 population of

134,506, the present number of beds translates to a bed-topopulation ratio of 7 per 1,000.
Physician, dentist-to-population ratio.
Based on the
standard ratio of 1 physician and 1 dentist per 20,000 population,
Naga City has more than enough physicians and dentists to serve
its residents.
Records show that there are 102 existing clinics in the city.
Of these, 67 are medical and 35 are dental clinics. The number of
physicians and dentists practicing their professions in the city
totaled 189 and 100, respectively, which translate to the ratio of 1
physician per 684 and 1 dentist per 1,294 population.
Total Fertility Rate. Per City

Population
and
Nutrition
Office Report, the 1998 Total
Fertility Rate or TFR is 152.
This means that there were
152 livebirths for every 1000
female population in childbearing ages 15 - 44 years.

Morbidity indicators are important tools which help determine

the localitys causes of deaths. These indices are the General
Medical Consultation Rate (GMR) and Hospitalization Rate (HR).

General
Medical
Consultation Rate. Naga Citys
estimated
General
Medical
Consultation rate is 1,451.
This,
given the presence of 67 medical
clinics with a minimum of 8 patients
daily.
Peak season for medical

consultations is noted during
summer when residents, especially
Source: CHO, 1998
students and professionals find
more time to confer with their physicians.
Hospitalization Rate. The Hospitalization Rate for 1998 is
2,104. For every 1000 population, 2,104 were hospitalized in 1998.
This is attributed to the large number of patients coming from all over
the Bicol region, a bulk of which (86 percent) is accommodated by
the Bicol Medical Center.
In 1998, Naga City Hospital registered a total of 210,306
cases attended to by the hospital staff from the out-patient, inpatients, pharmacy, dietary, medico-social, laboratory and
emergency rescue services.
Mortality Indicators
The ten leading causes of mortality for 1998 are: (1) Heart
Diseases, (2) Pneumonia, (3)
Hypertension, (4)
Pulmonary
Tuberculosis, (5) Cancer (all forms), (6) Accident, (7) Renal

Disease, (8) Peptic Ulcer, (9) C. N. S. Disease, and (10)
Septicemia (see Table 2.47, at left).
Crude Death Rate. Per CHO report, the CDR for Naga City is
5.63. This translates to an estimated average ratio of 6 deaths per
1,000 population in a calendar year. Compared to the 1994 CDR of
5.10, an increase of 9% is noted.
Infant Mortality Rate. Per CHO report, IMR is 9.93, which
translates to 10 infant deaths for every 1000 livebirths. Compared to
the 1994 IMR of 12.46 percent, a 25 percent decrease is noted.
The total number deaths, less than 1 year of age (of both sexes), in
1998 registered to 74 cases.
Maternal Mortality Rate. According to data gathered from the
City Hospital Office, there are no recorded incidence of Maternal
Deaths due to puerperium or labor. This can be attributed to the
success of health programs of the City Health Office, most
particularly on Maternal and Child Care.
Proportional Mortality Ratio. The PMR or Proportional
Mortality ratio is 758. This means that for every 1000 deaths of all
causes in all ages in a calendar year, 758 belong to the age group
50 years old and over. Of the actual number of deaths (475) of both
sexes in age 50 years and over, 251 (53 percent) are male, while
224 (47 percent) are female.
Young Child Mortality Rate. Young Child Mortality Rate or
YCMR is 2. This states that mortality of young children ages 1 - 4 is
2 deaths per 1000 population. Table 2.48 on next page illustrates
seven leading causes of death for children 1 to 4 years old.

Causes of Mortality and Morbidity

Epidemic Occurrence for the Last Five (5) Years. From
1994 to 1998, there were no recorded incidence of epidemics,
except for a sporadic dengue outbreak noted in 1998, particularly
during summer. This was, however, immediately curbed by local
health officials by conducting a series of defogging sortie (Please

Hospital Wastes. Hospital wastes are properly disposed of
at the city dumpsite located at Brgy. Balatas. These are color-coded
to indicate the type of wastes such as hazardous, highly
contaminated materials. Sharp objects are segregated and are
properly contained before disposed of completely. An incinerator is
also found in 1 government hospital where hospital wastes are
burned.
Cemeteries and Memorial Parks. There are four cemeteries
and two memorial parks that exist in Naga City. Five are privatelyowned while only one, the Concepcion Pequea cemetery, belongs
to the city government. Table 2.54 right, illustrates the area covered
by each cemetery (also please refer to Figure 2.8 on page 53).

Health Programs.
In
further enhancing the delivery of basic health and
sanitation services, the city government implemented the following
programs:
Establishment and Upgrading of the Naga City Primary
Hospital. Catering primarily to the underprivileged in its seven
years of operation, the hospital registered a 425 percent increase
in number of patients attended to, treating a total of 170 patients
per day, from only 40 patients per day when it began operating in
1991. Plans are underway to upgrade the hospital into a secondary
one.
Operationalization of Emergency Rescue Naga (ERN).
Led by highly-trained Naga City Primary Hospital personnel and
ERN paramedic volunteers, this
Galing-Pook
award-winning
emergency rescue service boasts of a 3-5 minute average response
time within the city proper, 30 minutes for the farthest mountain
barangays some 17 kilometers away. In 1996, it was conferred the
DOH STOP-D.E.A.T.H. Institutional Award for its effectiveness and

efficiency in responding to local emergencies and disasters. The
creation of the Naga City Disaster Mitigation Project Office would
effectively put to maximum use ERNs capability.
Innovative Nutrition Programs. Naga City is a Hall of Famer
in the Consistent Regional Outstanding Winner in Nutrition
(CROWN) given by the National Nutrition Council (NNC) because of
its innovative and outstanding implementation of nutrition programs.
For the past six years, Naga City has successfully maintained a
downward trend of malnutrition through a well-coordinated plan
implementation with its local nutrition workers.
Strengthening of the local Health Board. Pursuant to the
mandate of the Local Government Code of 1991, the city set up its
own local health board. Aside from the City Health Board, a
Barangay Health Council was likewise organized in the 27
barangays.
45
In 1998, a series of ARD-GOLD-sponsored seminar-workshop

was conducted participated in by the cross-section of the 27
barangays. The output of the seminar-workshop will serve as the
basis for an Integrated Health Masterplan for the city.
Determination of Problems and Development Needs

Manpower Requirement. Based on the standard ratio of 1
physician and 1 dentist per 20,000 population, Naga City has more
than enough physicians and dentists to serve its residents. Of the
102 existing clinics in the city, 67 are medical and 35 are dental
clinics. The number of physicians are 189 while dentists are 100,
translating to a ratio of 1 physician per 684 and 1 dentist per 1,294
population.
Manpower Determination. Given the 4,927 cases of outpatient care at the Naga City Hospital in 1998, 2,463.5 hours is
required for out-patient . This means a shortage of two (2) health
officers in Naga City. According to the Naga City Health Office, a
projected requirement for seven (7) Assistant City Health Officers is
perceived from 1998 to year 2002. At present, only one (1) holds
office as City Health Officer I. A requirement for seven (7) public
health nurses is also noted. At present, there are five (5) public
health nurses stationed at the City Health Office. As for rural health
midwife, twenty-nine (29) is perceived as a requirement. As of
present, there are twenty-eight (28) assigned in different barangays
in the city.
Dentists. Pharmacists and Sanitary Inspectors,
meanwhile, are adequate to service the constituents. However, the
CHO has expressed need for an additional Medical Technologist and
one Medical Officer III more.

City Health Offices Medical personnel:

This indicates that a shortage of 16 hospital beds is noted for

Ago Foundation Hospitals Pay Ward, 4 beds for Charity Ward, and
25 beds for Medicare, considering the average number of patients
hospitalized for 7 days (assumption for acute communicable
diseases. For a 15-days hospitalization, Ago Foundation Hospitals
Pay and Charity Wards have adequate hospital beds. However, the
Medicare Wards is short of 6 beds, compared against the average

As seen above, more than 50 percent of existing hospitals in

Naga City have a shortage of an average of 11,800 square meters
each, as compared against the national standards of 40,000 square
meters. It is therefore recommended that these hospitals initiate
expansion operations in the next ten (10) years to meet the future
demand. About 5.9 hectares is required for this expansion.
Solid Waste Disposal. The citys dumpsite is located at
Barangay Balatas, Naga City. With an area of 3.55 hectares, it is 4
kilometers away from the city proper. Dumping operations started in
1960 and is expected to continue 10 years more. A total of 67.4 tons
of garbage per day is generated from Nagas downtown area,
meanwhile, a total of 21 tons of garbage is collected from
households daily. This accounts to 30% efficiency in garbage
collection.
On the basis of 0.40 kilograms per day, with a density of 500

kg/m in the fill and 20 percent cover, a one-hectare meter per year
of dumping ground will provide as a catchment for a population of
about 30,000.

Table 2.57 below itemizes the area requirement for the city
dumpsite within the next 6 years.

The city will require a

dumpsite of almost 0.55
hectares in the next 6 years.
Given an excavation of 1
meter, the area will be
reduced to 0.28 hectares. It
is therefore recommended
that the city government
acquire an additional parcel of
lot as an extension of the city
dumpsite to be able to meet
the necessary requirement in
the next five years.

With the Crude Death Rate of 5.63 and a population of

134,506 for 1998, projected number of deaths is 807. This is
estimated to increase to 906 by year 2004.
With a participation rate (burials) of 154 percent for 1998, a
projected area requirement for burial grounds is estimated at 3,153
square meters. This is estimated to increase to 3,404 square meters
by year 2004.

The following table (Table 2.58, below) enumerates the
projected deaths and area requirement for burial grounds in the next
6 years:
Basing from this
projection, the city will
require about 372 square
meters to accommodate
burials in the next 6
years.
It is therefore
recommended that the
city government acquire
an additional site for its
public cemetery to meet
the requirement in the
next five years.
Goals:

4. To decentralize basic health services to all barangays.

5. To provide socialized medical services to indigents.
Policy recommendation: Integrated health services should be

made available to all Nagueos at the least minimum cost. The

In a study conducted by De La Salle University in 1998,

36.7% of 294 street children were found thriving in the streets of
Naga, the rest were located in business establishment and others in
public places.
The study also revealed that 27.7% of 328
respondents spent at least 10 to 11 hours in the streets of Naga.
Out of 252, 48% of the street children were found in the company of
other kids, followed by 44% which were accompanied by family
members. During daytime, 20.5% of 302 cases were found staying
at the dumpsite where they scavenge for garbage. During nighttime,
66.3% of 335 were found staying in the neighborhood, followed by
12.5% found in public areas. For the last three months, 327 street
56

children were bystanders in streets (54.4%), terminals (45.6%), and
marketplace (32.7%).
2. Identify families to be extended assistance.

SPORTS & RECREATION
Project SPEED. Unlike before when sports in Naga flourish
only during summer season, sporting events in the city are held
year-round, thanks to the implementation of Sports for Physical
Enhancement and Education Development (Project SPEED).
The project was conceived by the city government to divert
youth's attention from the menace of drug addiction and other
delinquent activities.
As a support activity under the project, the city government
also constructed sports facilities and provided sports equipment to
barangays and schools in Naga in conjunction with active civic
groups and educational institutions which pursue their own sports
program.

Crime volume. The local police force's effectiveness in

containing criminality is indicated in the decreasing incidence of
crime committed within the city. In 1998, police records show 3,439
criminal offenses were committed as against the 1997 commission of
4,277 offenses---a 125 percent decrease.
Existing Peace and Order situation of the City

Police
Manpower. The 156-strong Naga City Police Station which
is operationally-controlled and supervised by the PNP Provincial
Command handles the daily peace and order situation of the city.
Thus, measured against the national standard of 1 policeman for
every 500 population, the city's policeman-population ratio of 1:862
is relatively inadequate.
Protective services in Naga, though, is further enhanced by
the presence of 19 police aides hired by the city government and 16
private security agencies.
Equipment. The local police force has the following facilities
and equipment at its disposal in maintaining peace and order and
containing criminality in the city: two finger-printing equipment; one
intra-station radiocomsystem; five police vehicles/vans; six
motorcycles and assorted PNP-issued firearms.
Sub-stations. For shorter, effective response time in case of
emergency, six sub-stations were established in different strategic
places. These sub-stations are located in corner Panganiban Drive
and Magsaysay Avenue, Peafrancia Avenue, Tabuco, Sabang,
Elias Angeles and Carolina (please refer to Figure 2.10 on page 69).

Current Requirements
Based on the national standards ideal force-population ratio
of 1: 500 (1 policeman for every 500 population) and 1:500
(1 fireman for every 500 population), the city has a current shortage
of 113 policemen and 221 firemen.
The current police force of 156 policemen and 48 firemen
which translates to the ratio of 1:862 and 1:2,802 are way below the
ideal national standard.
To attain this ideal national standard requirement, Naga City
needs at least 124 more policemen in the year 2000 and additional
22 by the year 2004.
Based on the minimum force-population national standard of
1:1,000, the number of policemen is quite adequate while the
number of firemen has a shortage of 91.

Additional modern facilities and equipment are needed by the
PNP, BFP and BJMP in order to effectively respond to the needs of
the constituents. It is also recommended that the PNP National
Command detail Naga-based personnel in order to effect a more
responsive local PNP.

Crop Production. In terms of land use, Naga City remains

primarily an agricultural city. Of the citys total land area of 8,448
hectares, 5,709.05 hectares or 67.58
percent are used for
agricultural purposes.
Just like the rest of Bicol, Nagas major crops are rice,
coconut, sugarcane and corn. Rice, being the staple food for
Bikolanos, occupies the highest plantation in terms of hectarage..
Table 2.68, right, itemizes the areas and location of these crops in
SAFDZ for CY 1999, 2000 and 2001(also, please refer to Figure 2.11
on page 78).
As shown in Table 2.70 on page 73, the total value of
production for major crops in Naga City reached a total of P298
Million for 1998 alone. With the renewed operation of the former
Bicolandia Sugar Development Corporation (BISUDECO), now
privatized and renamed Peafrancia Sugar Mill (PENSUMIL),
sugarcane is again gaining popularity as an attractive crop.
In barangays where diversified grain is grown, after harvest,

the areas are planted with corn and different types of vegetables.

The City Agriculturist Office has identified portions of

barangays San Felipe, Pacol, Carolina, San Isidro and Cararayan as
the key grain areas of Naga, while commercial crops are grown also
in some areas of barangays Panicuason, Carolina, Cararayan and
San Isidro (please refer to Table 2.69 next page).

The reductions in agricultural areas are due to conversion activities

by landowners for other uses.
At present, the total existing agricultural area is 5,709.05

hectares. However, some areas can be converted to other uses
based on the proposed land use plan of the city. It can be noted that
in 1998 total agricultural area was 6,325.28 hectares as shown in
Table 2.70 on page 73. As compared to 1999 data, a decrease of
616.23 hectares in use can be seen, this is because of its conversion
to other uses.
72

Barangays Cararayan, Pacol and San Isidro were declared as
DARs Agrarian Reform Communities in Naga City on the following
considerations:
o Large number of agrarian reform beneficiaries
o Bigger CARPable areas
o Lesser support services
o Production is low
o ARBs clamor for Agrarian reform
o Presence of peoples Organizations especially farmers
organizations/associations

Livestock. For the year 1998, Naga City has a total livestock
population of 38,657 which underscores the fact that Naga has a
thriving swine-raising industry where 10 commercial farms are the
main players together with 4,330 backyard swine raisers. The table
next page (Table 2.71) shows a more detailed inventory of Livestock
and Poultry farms.
These farms are mostly found in Nagas key livestock
development areas which comprise the barangays of Cararayan, Del
Rosario, Concepcion Pequea, Carolina and Pacol. The local
livestock industry provide sizeable employment to 5,530 Nagueos.
Existing farm technologies complementing these are breeding
stations, extension services, technical institutions, agricultural
schools. The local agriculture office provides the necessary training
and technologies.
In 1998 alone, the total production of the local livestock
industry runs as high as 38,000 heads with an estimated value of
Php 170 Million.

Table 2.74, below, meanwhile, itemizes the present and
projected agricultural production and the demand projection for
selected agricultural products. Comparatively, the demand for
agricultural products is higher than the projected agricultural
production.
The table below (Table 2.75) clearly shows that our city will
need more production on crops to meet the demands on food
requirements for the next five (5) years. This goes to show that in
addition to our own crop production, we will definitely need to import
more crop produce from our neighboring agricultural towns to
maintain the demand-supply gap on food requirement of our people.

issued or voluntarily offered for coverage, 846 of which is considered

problematic for reasons such as: petition for exemption, application
for conversion/retention and court litigation. The remaining 823
hectares are under workable category because of on-going
documentation of these areas.
With the limited area devoted to agricultural production,
farmers in Naga City cannot supply the demand for agricultural
products.
In order to protect the interest of our small farmers who are
beneficiaries of CARP of the government, it will be the policy of the
city government to advise these farmers to retain as much as
possible the character of their landholdings and to give all possible
assistance to improve the production level of their landholdings.
However, if in case these CARP lands fall within an eco-tourism
project and their change of character from agricultural to nonagricultural activity cannot be avoided based on the development
plan studies of the project, the city will mediate in favor of the farmer
or CARP beneficiaries so that their interest will be best protected.
Goals
1. Increase rice production and maintain stable food supply
2. Promote high value crop production which will recognize the city
as a source of export potential crops and products.
3. Production of disease-resistant seedlings and upgraded livestock
and poultry/fowls for distribution/dispersal to farmers in the city.
4. Promote appropriate technology on crop diversification/Integrated
Farming System to maximize the utilization of land area.
5. Conduct training to farm family members with skills capability
building on small-scale entrepreneurs to increase farm incomes
and profitability.

Objectives
1. To provide technical assistance to farmers with improved crop
production technology with emphasis on low cost production
techniques.
2. To increase the production of grains (rice & corn) and other food
crops through the Key Production Area of Naga City.
3. To enhance the productivity and increase farm incomes through the
Diversified Farming Systems Approach
4. To promote the organic farming techniques for a sustainable
agriculture.
Although rice is still the primary crop being produced by Nagueos,
records from the City Assessors Office show that the total area devoted
to rice decreased from its original hectarage of 2,800 to 2,510 hectares.
The Department of Agriculture placed the Citys viable agricultural farm
to 2,450 hectares. This is attributed to the dilapidated irrigation systems,
both communal and private; the destruction of structures during the past
typhoons; and the conversion of some rice lands in Cararayan, Del
Rosario and Concepcion Grande to corn or sugarcane areas.
KEY SECTORAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON AGRICULTURE

o Assist farmers through intensification of credit support and
technology information and dissemination, rehabilitation of irrigation
systems, proper packaging of technology (POT), seeds, promotion
of seed growing among farmers; provision of post-harvest facilities,
crop insurance and dependable supply of farm inputs; and the
establishment of stronger farmer organizations.
o Upgrade present purely draft carabao stocks into breeding, milk type
and draft purposes.
o Promote modern cattle farming technologies, especially cattle
fattening.
o Finally, efforts must be made to stabilize farm prices at reasonable
levels to sustain the growth in production, productivity and efficiency.

With the upsurge of big, medium and small enterprises, Naga

City has gained its popularity as the center of economic and
business activities in the province of Camarines Sur and the whole of
Bicolandia.
Nowhere in Bicol Region can one find large businesses
ranging from retailing to wholesaling, manufacturing and processing
and other services such as entertainment, resorts, movie houses,
restaurants and financing institutions like banks and insurance
companies, but in Naga City.

Sometime in 1998, construction of the proposed new Central
Business District located in the Triangulo-Diversion growth area, the
CBD II was in full swing. Concreting of roads, infrastructure works in
the integrated jeepney terminal and the proposed satellite market
was made. Preliminary works had been completed in the proposed
Metro Naga Coliseum while the Naga City Central Bus Terminal was
made operational last August 31, 1999.
Central Business District. The main business center of the
city (generally known as Central Business District) totals to only 16
commercial blocks or an area of about 30 hectares. Spatial limitation
relative to the demand for sites by new businesses in the area has
resulted to a high selling price reaching Php 50,000.00 per square
meter. The reason why the City Government has decided to expand
Nagas commercial area.
To support the local economic structure, the city government
continues to adopt the following strategies:
Panganiban Beautification and Upgrading Project. In
1989, the city initiated the bold move of developing the
PNR-owned stretch of idle land along Panganiban
Drive. Through a unique government-private sector
partnership, the Panganiban Beautification and
Upgrading Project (PBUP) immerged, a commercial
park which has now 25 units of uniform commercial
buildings mostly being utilized as medical clinics,
boutique and display stores, tailoring and dressmaking
shops, offices and pawnshops. Through this project,
the Panganiban Drive area which stretches to 1.5
kilometers is now a fast growing commercial area
where several other commercial buildings have been
erected.

Satellite Markets. The establishment of three district
satellite markets, the Peoples Mart at corner Liboton
and Jacob Streets, the Barlin Satellite Market, located
at Barlin St., Barangay Sta. Cruz, and the Jonis
Satellite Market at Bagumbayan Norte, has spurred
more trading and commercial activity outside the Naga
City Public Market. A new satellite market along
Magsaysay Avenue (Hermoville) has also been
recently inaugurated to cater to the needs of residents
of Mariano Village and adjoining subdivisions in
Barangay Balatas. At present, there are now eateries,
repair shops and other small business retail outlets in
the area.
New CBD. The City Governments long-term solution to
congestion of the present CBD is the development of a
new Central Business District at the PanganibanDiversion Road area, its biggest and most ambitious
project to date. It will feature among others the Metro
Naga Coliseum, the Naga City Central Bus and
Jeepney Terminals, a Satellite Market and a whole of
27-hectare of prime lot that will serve as the expansion
site of the present centro. September this year, the
privatized Central Bus Terminal commenced operation.
Integrated Livelihood Masterplan. The promotion of
livelihood and employment has become the flagship
program of the present administration which led to the
formulation of the Naga City Integrated Livelihood
Masterplan. The ultimate goal of the ILM is to improve
the economic well-being of members of the low-income
population from all sectors. Metro PESO (Public
Employment Service Office) is the government's

primary provider of livelihood programs in the city.
Investment Promotion Board. This office was created to
complement with the city's Integrated Livelihood
Masterplan. It has for its main function to sell Naga as
an investment site/destination. Among its functions: a)
preparation of an Investment Promotion Program for
submission to the Naga City Investment Board; b)
assistance to the said board in arranging joint-venture
among local and outside investors; c) recommendation
of policies and measures to the board to better carry
out the city's Investment Incentives Code; d)
assistance to registered enterprises and prospective
investors in accessing government offices, agencies,
instrumentalities and financial institutions; e)issuance
of application forms and aid to investors in complying
with registration requirements; f) provision of relevant
socio-economic and zoning data to investors; g)
evaluation of investors application for registration.
Identified areas for priority investment activities are
Central Business District I (CBD I); East Highland
Agro-ecotourism Zone, Pacol, Carolina, Panicuason);
Concepcion Growth Corridor (Concepcion Pequea,
Concepcion Grande, Del Rosario); Naga City AgroIndustrial Zone ( Del Rosario, Cararayan, San Isidro,
Pacol,
Carolina);
Roxas-Panganiban
Growth
Area(CBD II); South Riverfront Growth Area (Sabang);
Market Development Zones (all residential areas of the
city) and Joint Agribusiness Zones (all agricultural
areas of the city).

Investment Incentives Code.
Ordinance 97-114,
otherwise known as the Naga City Investment
Incentives Code, grants incentives to businesses to
encourage them to establish new enterprises in
preferred investment activities or expand the
operations of existing ones.
The code has the
following objectives: (1) generate employment for the
constituents of Naga City and the Metro Naga area; (2)
increase the value-added of local products; (3) develop
the citys tourism potential; (4) promote balanced
growth; (5) make the business sector a partner in
enhancing the environment, and; (6) encourage
modernization and promote global competitiveness.
INDICATORS OF GROWTH
Over the last 10 years, Naga City has enjoyed a remarkable
growth in its local trade and commerce, thus, maintaining its prime
status as the trading and commercial hub of the region. Buoyed by
the bullish entrepreneurial spirit of local and Manila-based
businessmen and fully backed by a dynamic and proactive local
government, Nagas overwhelming economic stride is validated by
the following indicators:
Hiked Local Business Revenue. Based on the
1998 records of the City Treasurys Business
Licensing Division, Naga City has a total of
revenue collection of P41,542,957.49 for

Traditional/Cultural Activities
Peafrancia Fiesta. The fiesta, celebrated every third week of
September, is held to honor Nuestra Seora de Peafrancia, the
Patroness of Bicol. It is the only regional festivity of its kind in the
Philippines today and perhaps, the biggest Marian devotion there is
in Asia.
89

The celebrations main highlight is the Traslacion, which is
basically the transfer of the Virgin of Peafrancias image, borne on
the shoulders of voyadores (her male devotees), from the Basilica,
her home shrine, to the Metropolitan Cathedral; and her voyage back
in a fluvial procession along the Bicol river. After nine days of prayer
at the Cathedral, the riverine procession is held where, aboard a
beautifully decorated pagoda and accompanied by the voyadores,
she is brought back to Basilica.
Tourism Potentials. Although not blessed with much natural
tourism assets, the city has nevertheless prioritized the development
of several potential tourist attractions to strengthen its bid to become
the main service center and staging area for tourists in Bicol. In
addition to the Peafrancia Fiesta, for instance, the City Government
also launched the Kamundagan Festival which covers the whole
month of December to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and
commemorate the Citys Charter Anniversary in a bid to make Naga
a Christmas City.
Also lined up for development are the Malabsay Falls Ecology
Park in Barangay Panicuason (which will feature swimming areas
beneath the waterfalls, concrete winding stairs, footbridges and
pathways, cottages and related facilities for use of swimmers and
visitors, and a plant nursery and camping ground).
Naga Civic Center Complex in Barangay Dayangdang which
features the newly built Naga City Youth Center-cum-hostel which
was made fully operational in 1998. Also within the 1.5-hectare
recreational complex is the Naga City Multi-Purpose Building and a
childrens theme park completed also in 1998.
Augmenting these are man-made and natural tourist spots

that are certified tourist drawers, among them old churches, schools,
museums, historic plazas, and inland summer resorts.

Inventory of Existing Industrial Establishments
As of 1998, Naga City has a total of 378 manufacturing
industries. Most of these are small to cottage-scale food processing,
metalwork, furniture manufacturing, jeepney body-building, auto
shops, ware-housing and storage. Broadly, they fall under one of
the following 17 industries existing in the city:
Coconut oil milling

Machine shops
Construction materials
Pancit/Miki/Bijon manufacturing
Printing
Food processing
Rice milling
Furniture making
Ice cream
Tire retreading/ recapping

Ice plant and cold storage
Upholstery
Jeep body building
Metalcraft and Iron works
Garments products
Softdrinks bottling
Bakeshop & Bakery
Shoes/Bags manufacturing
Also present in the city are specialized manufacturing

activities such as bottling (Pepsi and Coca Cola), chicken dressing,
cooking oil processing,
tire retreading among others. These
manufacturing companies are concentrated mainly along
Concepcion Pequea, Concepcion Grande, Del Rosario, Abella,
Tabuco and Mabolo areas.
The citys potential for industrial development is further
enhanced by the launching of the Legazpi-Iriga-Naga-Daet Growth
Corridor Project (LINDGCP) by the Regional Development Council
V. The city, as the northern node of the corridor, is envisioned to
serve as Bicol's priority area for agro-industrial development. The
area covered for agro-industrial development are barangays Del
Rosario, Cararayan, San Isidro, Pacol and Carolina as declared in

Ordinance No.97-114.
The city has one (1) PEZA approved industrial site situated at
barangay Pacol, about ten (10) kilometers from the existing Central
Business District (CBD) of Naga City. It has an area of about 114
hectares and readily accessible by a concrete road which is
connected to the Maharlika Highway. As of this time, the ownerdeveloper of the said industrial estate is still in the process of
finalizing its development plan for presentation to the city council.
The land which was originally agricultural was already given a
conversion clearance by the Department of Agrarian Reform.
Other industrial areas located in Barangays Concepcion
Grande, Concepcion Pequea, Del Rosario, Abella, Tabuco, Mabolo
and Triangulo are purposely situated near the urban center for
efficient marketing linkages. Also, some areas are located near the
national highway for easy accessibility. However, the city does not
encourage expansion of industrial activities in present location. It is
recommended/proposed that expansion of industries outside the city
proper be done at portions of barangays Mabolo, Del Rosario, San
Isidro and Cararayan.
INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION
The table next page (Table 2.90) presents the number of local
industries registered in the City of Naga classified according to scale
and capitalization/assets. It can be seen in said table that the bulk of
these businesses fall under the categories of Cottage- and MicroIndustry.

capital, marketing outlets, and other infrastructure supportive of

industrial development.
To address them, the following measures are proposed:
Maximize the use of indigenous resources.
Provide incentives and necessary infrastructure support services.
Provide employment opportunities to the unemployed and the
inactive age population, i.e., housewives and out-of-school youth.
Upgrade, expand and encourage industries with high growth
potentials and high prospects of raising the city income.
Promote agro-based and resource-oriented enterprises, and
cottage, small and medium-scale industries that are labor
intensive.
Establish an industrial estate at the Del Rosario-Cararayan area
to create more quality jobs and implement structural reforms.
On Tourism:
1. To enhance Naga's competitiveness in tourism notwithstanding
the relative shortage of natural tourism assets, the following
measures are proposed:
2. Preserve, maintain and/or restore places of historical and cultural
landmarks.
3. Develop the Malabsay Falls into an agro-ecotourism estate.
4. Establish a tourist trade area that will serve local and foreign
tourists, particularly as regards souvenirs and samples of native
products for export.
5. Upgrade tourism facilities and services such as hotels,
restaurants, resorts, dining and entertainment centers,
transportation and other facilities.
6. Revitalize the moribund MUKLAT to serve as a vehicle for
historical and cultural rediscovery.
7. Operationalize the Naga City Museum to serve as window to our
glorious past.
Future Development Needs for Commerce and Industry

Naga City being the existing primary commercial, industrial
and finance center in this part of the region will need a wide area for
commercial and industrial activities. The 1999 land use of the city
showed that commercial use accounts to only 1.6 percent of the total
built-up area. If we will adopt the maximum suggested ratio of 3
percent of the built-up area should be allocated for commercial use
based on the HLURB guidelines, the city will need an additional
estimated 28 hectares for commercial land use. But since Naga is
the undisputed commercial and industrial center in this area as
mentioned earlier, the city has decided to identify eight (8) priority
areas for investment, to wit:
1. Central Business District I
2. East Highland Agro-ecotourism Zone (Pacol, Carolina,
Panicuason)
3. Concepcion Growth Corridor (Concepcion Pequea, Concepcion
Grande, del Rosario)
4. Naga City Agro-Industrial Zone 9del Rosario, Cararayan, San
Isidro, Paocl, Carolina)
5. Roxas-Panganiban Growth Triangle (CBD II)
6. South Riverfront Growth Area (Sabang)
7. Market Development Zones (all residential areas of the city)
8. Joint Agri-Business Zones (all agricultural areas of the city)

The City Government had operationalized the City ENRO, a
new department to cater to the concerns on environment specifically
solid waste management. It develops strategies and approaches to
handle the issues and concerns for efficient collection. Initially, the
city government approved the creation of sixteen new items in
addition to the ninety-eight personnel from the General Services
Department (GSD) putting up an annual budget for personnel
services at Php 13.8 million and for MOOE at Php 3.34 million.
Nagas 1993-98 Medium-Term Solid Waste Management Plan
points out that the main pollutants in the city come in the form of
solid waste generated daily. Generally, these waste come from five
sources: residential, commercial, industrial, markets and hospitals.

Solid wastes are disposed of and collected via the citys
garbage trucks which traverse six routes on a daily basis. Collected
wastes are then dumped at the Balatas Dumpsite, where they are
segregated according to type of wastes: biodegradable and nonbiodegradable.
Management Strategy for Balatas
Dumpsite
The open dumpsite located at
Barangay Balatas has long been utilized
since 1960. The management strategy
which was in effect since 1998 was an
attempt to convert an uncontrollable
dumpsite into a controlled one through:
1. strict monitoring of dumping activities;
2. assignment of a permanent bulldozer
to level newly-dumped garbage;
3. weekly spraying of organic microbes
called EM (Enhanced Microbes), used
to enhance organic matter and to
control leacheate;
4. banning of burning;
5. banning scavengers the city
government organized the scavengers
into a cooperative to regulate them and

Table 2.95 left presents the local industrial solid waste
sources classified according to the type of wastes they generate. It
can be seen from said table that production of hazardous waste--which need disposal and treatment in a refining facility or waste
water treatment plant is still insignificant in Naga. This implies that
most waste generated can be disposed through an open dumpsite or
sanitary landfill.

DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE

Topography
Nagas topography places it at the slope of Mt. Isarog,
extending downward to the lowland area where the urban center is
situated at the foot of Mt. Isarog . The citys 564 hectares of forest
parks and reserves serve as a buffer that ideally absorbs run-off
105

water from the mountain which flows down slopes into the citys lowlying areas (please refer to Figure 2.13 on page 119).
Drainage System
Ending FY 1998, Nagas drainage network has reached a total
length of 72,971.70 meters all constructed within the last ten years.
This translates to an average of 7,297 meters of new drainage lines
constructed per year. The outfall of our drainage system is the Naga
River which bisects the poblacion area of the city (please refer to
Figure 2.14 on page 120).
Maintenance of Drainage
The maintenance of the drainage system is being
implemented by the Maintenance Division of the City Engineer's
Office which is manned by 24 personnel.
The maintenance
equipment available in the CEO are: dumptrucks, backhoes and
manual equipment such as shovels, rakes, hoes and others. The
maintenance personnel are divided into two teams which undertakes
maintenance job on a daily routine.
Naga City Flood Hazard Zone
Figures 2. 15 and 2.16 on pages 121 and 122, respectively
present the areas/barangays considered as flood hazard zone in the
city. These areas suffer perennial flooding during the rainy season.
These includes Barangays Abella, Bagumbayan Norte, Bagumbayan
Sur, Calauag, Dayangdang, Dinaga, Igualdad, Lerma, Liboton,
Mabulo, Peafrancia, Sabang, San Francisco, Sta. Cruz, Tabuco,
Tinago and Triangulo. These affected barangays constitute about 10
percent of the total land area of Naga City.
To minimize the effect of flooding, the city in conjunction with

the various Barangay Irrigators Association has been maintaining
Water Harvesting Structures (WHS) at the upper barangays of
Cararayan, San Isidro, Pacol and Del Rosario. These structures like
Small Farm Reservoirs (SFR), Small Water Impounding Systems
(SWIS) are man-made structures that serve as basin to accumulate
surface water run-off from the watershed. These structures form part
of the mitigating measures to control flooding in low-lying areas of
the city.
Cemeteries and Memorial Parks
There are four cemeteries and two memorial parks that exist
in Naga City. Five are privately-owned while only one, the
Concepcion Public Cemetery, is being operated by the City
Government. Table 2.100 below illustrates the area, number of
burials and conditions of each cemetery.
These cemeteries are well-situated in high-lying barangays.
Concepcion Public Cemetery and Peafrancia Catholic Cemetery
are now considered as congested.

Crude Death Rate
The Crude Death Rate (CDR) for Naga City is 5.63. This
indicates that Naga City has an estimated average ratio of 6 deaths
per 1,000 population on a calendar year. Compared to the 1994 of
CDR of 5.10, an increase of 10.3 percent is noted.
AREAS FOR CONSERVATION/PROTECTION
NAGA RIVER WATERSHED
NAGA RIVER WATERSHED

The current environmental situation of the Naga River
Watershed is unfavorable. Based on the intended water use stream
classification scheme of the DENR, Naga River is classified as Class
C. This means that its water quality qualifies it at the most, for
irrigation of agricultural crops. At its headwaters, the quality of the
Naga River is relatively better. But as it flows closer to the urban
center, the waters color changes from crystal clear to almost
opaque, reflective of very poor quality, due to abuse and neglect.
Table 2.101
CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL ANALYSIS OF WATER FROM NAGA RIVER

Parameters
Turbidity, NTU
The analysis of water samples gathered in January and April

1997, showed that the dissolved oxygen content went down to as
low as 1.49 in April 1997. However, as the river flows further down
oxygen starts to increase due to the dilution effect of sea-water
backflow (the critical level for oxygen is 3). The total suspended
solids (TSS) from the water samples gathered in January and April
1997 were 148 mg/l and 188 mg/l,
Table 2.102
respectively. (The critical level for
BARANGAYS WITHIN THE

Management Plan
Currently, Naga City is using the groundwater for its drinking

and domestic water supply. Apparently, the present safe yield of
groundwater is not sufficient with its present demand. Furthermore,
with the growing population increase and growing commercialization,
water supply is greatly affected.
A 1995 LWUA study on the groundwater within Naga City
(see Table 2.103 next page) shows an over-extraction of its
groundwater resource at 2 M cu.m. per year. Present combined
extraction by MNWD and owners of private wells reaches 4.79 M
cubic meters. The study plus the annual groundwater recharge at
only 2.38 M cu. m. or 49.7 percent of the volume extracted.

laxity in full protection of
the headwaters against any form of natural resource exploitation are
further compounding the problem of Naga Rivers degradation,
particularly kaingin which had been encroaching on the timberland
portion of the watershed. At present only about ten percent (564
has.) of the watersheds total land area (5,445 has.) is forested. This
is already a very critical level as indicated by the drying up of some
streams within the headwaters of Naga River during summer months
(see Figures 2.17 and 2.18 on pages 123 and 124).
However, to address this situation within the citys watershed
area,
the
ENRO
has
been
conducting
regular
tree
planting/reforestation activities in partnership with the different
NGOs. Stakeholders are encouraged to participate in said endeavor
to further strengthen PAMB in Mt. Isarog. Also, the DENR has
established a field office inside the protected area for easy
monitoring of illegal activities, and for the conduct of information and
educational campaign for the preservation of endangered flora and
fauna.
NABONTOLONAN SPRING. Located near Malabsay Falls,

this natural spring is just fifty (50) meters away from a scenic ravine
which could be reached by following a forested trail.
NAGA CITY ECOLOGY PARK. This 7-hectare flora and
fauna park situated at Barangay San Felipe is an ideal destination
where tourists, students, researchers, garden enthusiasts, picnickers
and the like can take a wonderful view of nature at its best.
INARIHAN DAM SITE. This dam located in the uppper
shoulder of Mt. Isarog is an ideal place for swimming, hiking and
photography.
JIMENEZ, PEAFRANCIA, CASA CATALINA, SPRING
VALLEY & ISABELITA RESORTS are ideal destinations for
convention, excusrion, picnic, photography, hiking, swimming and
adventure.
The policy of the city government on the above potential ecotourism areas require that all development works should consider
the integration and preservation of existing ecology in the area.
108

These means that future development of the area must be strictly
guided by existing policies on Environmental Impact Assessment
System (EIAS).
WATER BODIES
In Naga City, the main river that conveys the surface water to
the Bicol river is the Naga river which traverses the urban center of
the city. However, the same river comes from the Yabo Sadit and
Yabo Grande creeks. The Yabo, Caromatig, and the Langon creeks
all together drain into the Naga river.
Located near the headwaters of the Naga river are two (2)
accessible waterfalls, namely, the Malabsay and Nabontolan Falls.
The Metro Naga Water District (MNWD) is planning to harness the
surface water from Yabo river for drinking and domestic consumption
for Naga City. This project when completed would augment the water
supply needs of the city. Currently, the surface water from the entire

Table 2.105 at previous page, present an inventory of evacuation
centers located at strategic locations within the city.
These
evacuation areas were duly selected not only because of their
structural viability and easy accessibility but also the availability of
basic necessities such as toilets and supply of potable water (see
Figure 2.19 on page 125).
technical support from DENR by establishing an air quality

monitoring office complete with air ambiant monitoring facilities.
These facilities can be located at strategic points in the city. Also, a
monthly aniti-smoke belching campaign is now being undertaken by
the City ENRO. Table 2.106 at left presents the result of such
campaign.
WIND HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEMS
Risks due to strong typhoon winds affect primarily the

population whose residential dwellings are made of light materials.
The settlement and housing data of Naga showed that of some
29,600 residential buildings in the city, 25 percent of which is
considered highly at risk. These residential units are home to about
40,000 persons or 7,400 families.
Based on the number of residential buildings classified as
high risk, the following barangays have the most number of
population highly at risk: Mabolo, San Felipe, Igualdad, Triangulo,
Cararayan, Dayangdang, and Carolina (please refer to Figures 2.20
and 2.21 on pages 126 and 127).

AIR POLLUTION HAZARD
PROJECTION OF FUTURE NEEDS
Considered as the main air

pollutant in the city are gas
emissions from motorized vehicles
now numbering around 1,605 units.
Data gathered from ENRO's air
quality monitoring team revealed
that the poblacion area is slowly
being threatened by air pollution.
This has prompted the city to require
The citys dumpsite located at Barangay Balatas has an area

of 3.55 hectares and about four kilometers away from the city proper
(please refer to Figure 2.22 on page 128). Dumping operations
started in 1960 and expected to continue 5-10 years more. A total of
67.4 tons of garbage per day is generated by the city, while a total of
21 tons of garbage is collected from households daily. This accounts
to a 30% efficiency in garbage collection.
On the basis of 0.40 kilograms per day and density of 500
kg/cubic meters in the fill and twenty (20) percent cover, a one110

hectare (with a one-meter depth) per year of dumping ground will
provide as a catchments for a population of about 30,000.
The following table itemizes the area requirement for the city
dumpsite within the next five years:

R.A. 9003
In compliance with the mandates of R.A. 9003, the members
of the citys Solid Waste Management Board were recently sworn in.
As provided for by said law, the Board is primarily tasked with the
formulation of a 10-year Solid Waste Management Plan for the city.

as the citys Materials Recovery
Facility. Table 2.107 above shows that the city will need at most
0.55 hectares of dumpsite or at least 0.27 hectares if a depth of one
meter will be excavated. Thus, the area it has acquired is more than
sufficient to answer the citys requirement for a temporary dumpsite
for the next five years.
The city government also entered into a Memorandum of
Agreement with the DENR for a technical assistance regarding the
citys Controlled/Engineered Sanitary Dumpsite project in Balatas.
It is recommended that this MOA be amended to include
specific program or technology on the management of hazardous
The Metro Naga Development Council conducted consultation

meetings with its 15 MNDC members to discuss possible solution to
its solid waste problem. Consequently, a Metro Naga Sanitary
Landfill proposal was made and is now under evaluation by a joint
Land Bank-Japan Bank For International Cooperation (LB-JBIC)
team while the credit facility to finance the project had been
presented by a Japanese Consultant last year.
Proposed Del Gallego Dumpsite
If the proposal of one Camarines Sur Congressman to make a
portion of Del Gallegos public land as Metro Manilas potential area
for dumpsite materializes, there is no other recourse for the Bicol
Region specifically Naga City to also consider such area as its
disposal of its solid wastes. However, the city deems it proper to first
consult the people of Del Gallego if they are amenable to such plan
of the national government.
As to other potential sites where a sanitary landfill can be
located within the area of MNDC, we believe such scheme has been
111

discussed and is already incorporated in the proposal now being
evaluated by LB-JBIC.

practically unmaintained. The area is not prone to flooding.

STATEMENT OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
With the crude death rate of 5.63 and a population of 134,506

for 1998, projected number of deaths is 807. This is expected to
increase to 906 by year 2004.
With a participation rate (burials of 154 percent for 1998), a
projected area requirement for burial ground for year 2000 is
estimated at 3,153 square

Most of these bridges are found in the poblacion area which is
trisected by the Bicol and Naga Rivers. Based on the present
condition of these bridges, the Magsaysay Bridge, which connects
Roxas and Magsaysay Avenues to Peafrancia Avenue, already
needs a major rehabilitation or reconstruction (see Table 2.114 on
page 133).
District. Bottlenecks are formed in various strategic intersections

which are caused by increasing number of cars, jeepneys, trimobiles
and padyaks.
The Transport and Traffic Management Office (TTMO),
headed by City Councilor William Kalaw, is tasked to manage the
transport and traffic problems of the city.
Railroad Network
By train, the city is 10-12 hours away from Manila via the
partially revitalized Mainline South of the Philippine National
Railways. PNR, however, is eyeing to reduce travel time to 7 hours
once its revitalization program is completed (see Table 2.115 below).
Inter-town trips are served by jeepneys while inter-provincial

trips are served by buses and mini-buses. At present, a number of
bus firms have fielded air-conditioned buses to ply the Daet-NagaLegazpi-Matnog route.

Trends in Traffic Volume

A survey conducted in July 1993 on average daily traffic
(ADT) in the major streets in the urban area of the city reveals that
71 percent of the total flow of vehicles consists of trimobiles/
tricycles; 12 percent are public utility jeepneys; 16 percent are cars
and sedans; 0.7 percent are trucks and trailers; and 0.05 percent
are buses.
Naga City, being a fast urbanizing city is facing traffic
problems during peak hours especially in the Central Business
Interregional
Trips going to Metro Manila are served daily by eight (8) bus
companies, all with air-conditioned fleets such as Peafrancia
Tours, Isarog Lines, Gold Line, AMA, BLTB, JB Lines, Highway
Express and Philtranco. Trips going south as far as the Visayan
region via Albay and Sorsogon are served regularly by 2 bus lines.
Inventory of Transport Vehicles

There are a total of 16,494 registered vehicles plying the
different routes in Naga City. Motorcycles cover 38.8 percent of the
total or 6,042 units while light vehicles, trucks, buses, trailers and
heavy trucks cover the remaining 61.2 percent (see Table 2.116 next
page).

Other Transport Facilities

Previously, the bus terminals were located along the Diversion
Road about 100 meters from each other. In addition to these bus
terminals, there were also jeepney terminals scattered along the
route. The existence of the bus terminals located along the different
major roads in the city often lead to confusion among outgoing city
visitors who often do not know which terminal serves the bus going
to their respective destination. In the case of passengers from Naga
City, they found it highly inconvenient to transfer to another terminal
in case the outgoing buses in the terminal where they are in were
already full.

Air Transportation
By plane, the city is about 45 minutes away from Metro Manila
via Naga Airport which is located about 12 kilometers from the city
proper. Plane trips are served daily by the Philippine Airlines, Air
Philippines and Asian Spirit that have regular early morning flights to
and from Manila.

Furthermore, the conditions in the existing bus terminals are

not conducive to passenger comfort. Passengers have to bear with
136

muddy grounds, oil slicks, dirty premises and toilets, no adequate
protection from inclement weather, lack of seats for waiting
passengers and very crowded condition.
Thus, the construction of the Naga City Integrated Bus
Terminal right at the heart of the new CBD II in Barangay Triangulo
was pushed through under the PREMIUMED Loan. Initiated during
the term of ex-Mayor Jesse Robredo, the terminal was completed
last September 1999 under the incumbency of Mayor Sulpicio Roco,
Jr.
The operation and management of the terminal which can
accommodate 33 departing buses at any given time was bid out and
awarded to a private firm, the FPM Corporation.
The jeepney terminals are located in the various strategic
locations in Naga City (see Table 2.118 on page 136).
Current Problems
Transportation
Transportation is not an end-product of development. It is a
service that must be provided in different locations and at levels
required to enable the city population to carry out daily economic and
social activities. Therefore, it is necessary to know what these
activities are and their requirements for movement from one place to
another.
Naga as a city also becomes the focal point for nearby
communities and settlements which are considerably less endowed
with social and economic activities and facilities, and whose
populations are thus, drawn to the city for work, education, and fun.
This complicates transport planning and traffic management in the

city.
Most Nagueos are now too lazy to walk. Even residents in
barangays near the CBD no longer want to walk in going to market
or place of work. This is probably the reason for resurgence of
mechanically-driven tricycles, locally called padyaks, which have
now proliferated in almost all barangays in the poblacion area.
Although, there is an ordinance regulating the number and use of
these type of transport, strict enforcement is still wanting especially
in areas or roads where they are not allowed for safety reasons.
Another most common mode of intra-city travel is the trimobile
(motorized tricycle). But due to their increasing number, there is now
stiffer competition among drivers that create a wide range of
problems such as fare overcharging, refusal to convey passengers,
imbalance distribution of trimobile service resulting to a shortage of
transport service in some areas of the city and rampant traffic
violations.
This was the reason why the city government
conceptualized a system of trimobile color-coding under the Intra
City Trimobile Transport Rationalization Plan (INTRAP) Ordinance
which makes trimobile operation in the city more efficient and
service-oriented INTRAP was ratified by the people in a referendum
in August 1993.
The public utility jeepneys (PUJ) is another major mode of
intra-city transport used by regular commuters. But like all other
public transport vehicles, jeepney operation in Naga is also beset
with many problems such as the existence of colorum jeepneys, tripcutting and out-of-line trips. To address these problems, the city
government incorporated in the New Transport and Traffic Code the
color-coding of jeepneys by route, providing each jeep with an
assigned city number.

Future Needs
Based on HLURB guidelines on road standard of 2.4
kilometers per 1,000 population, the city will still need an additional
road length of 164.79 linear kilometers in 1999. This is ludicrous
since this will mean that the city will need to double its existing road
length of 164.2 kilometers which is more that what the city actually
needs.
If we will adopt the conventional road standard ratio of 1km.
per square kilometer being adopted by the DPWH, our city has
already surpassed the said standard because as of this time we
have already a road-area ratio of 1.9 kms. per square kilometer.
Based on our assessment what the city needs is to either
upgrade or widen some of our existing major roads that connects our
uban center to the proposed growth areas.
Table 2.119 right will show the
projected future needs:
GOAL:
Provide efficient and
adequate road system and improve
the drainage system for easy
movement of people, services, goods
and information needed for citywide
development.

2. To open up new roads that will hasten economic, agricultural,

industrial and tourism development.
STRATEGIES
1. Regulate sidewalk vendors. Almost all sidewalks in the central
business district are too narrow to accommodate pedestrians.
This is aggravated by the presence of sidewalk vendors which
occupy almost all spaces of the sidewalk thereby pedestrians to
use side streets for walking. This situation contributes to the
traffic congestion on the street and possible dangers of accidents.
To avoid such situations, there is a need to regulate sidewalk
vendors within the CBD.
2. Create pedestrian malls.
To minimize and discourage the use
of vehicles in the CBD, it is suggested that some streets in the
CBD be closed to vehicular traffic and convert them to pedestrian
malls where people can walk and do outdoor shopping.
3. Provide for off-street parking. In addition, there is a need to
enact an enabling ordinance that will require all future commercial
and industrial building owners to provide off-street parking for
their customers.
4. Installation of Early Warning City Traffic and Road Signs.
OBJECTIVES
5. Introduction of FX Taxis and Mass Transit Vehicles.
1. To improve and expand / widen existing road network and

linkages to major economic areas;
6. Cargo unloading will be allowed during nighttime and very early

morning only.
138
7. Refinement of Traffic Route Master Plan
14. Drainage program/projects should be included in the construction

of new roads in the city.
8. Open-up new jeepney routes to minimize traffic congestion along

major streets
15. Construction of
consideration.
9. Gradual phase-out of trimobiles and "padyaks" along major roads
16. Use of Naga River as an alternate inland transportation system to

ease traffic congestion within the city by issuing franchise to at
least 10 motorized bancas.
10. Thoroughly check subdivision roads to be donated to the city. All

roads that will be donated by existing subdivisions should be
thoroughly checked by the city engineer to determine compliance
to standards and specifications. Sub-standard subdivision roads
must be rejected outright.
11. Strict enforcement of subdivision road and drainage standards.
Since approval of development permit for subdivision plan has
been devolved to the local government, the city should now
closely monitor construction of subdivision roads, drainage
systems and related facilities to conform with required
specifications and standards.
12. Construction of Circumferential Roads.
The construction of
circumferential roads will serve as an alternate route for ingress
and egress of vehicles particularly large transport buses, cargo
vans and delivery trucks.

17. Develop programs for external funding and free city resources for
other funding need.
18. Enter into co-financing agreements for infrastructure projects with
external funding sources.
19. Access sister cities / other agencies / private sector resources to
improve equipment pool.
20. Tap external sources for technical assistance / support to develop
infrastructure development master plan.
21. Tap professional organizations for technical assistance to
develop infrastructure development master plan.
22. Be self-reliant by maximizing revenue-generating programs.
13. Expand INTRONET. Intra-City Transport and Road Network

Development Program (INTRONET) is a program of the local
government that seeks to upgrade roads which will serve as
major loops in neighborhood areas so that new transportation
routes can be opened to serve the transportation needs of the
residents.

Complementing this are six Barangay Post Offices located in
Abella, Sta. Cruz (A & B), Carolina, Igualdad and Peafrancia
Avenue.
Based on the current data, the three post offices in the city
are presently serving 45,705 population while one letter-carrier is
serving 4,897 population.
Meanwhile, eight (8) messengerial offices have opened shop
in Naga. These are: Johnny Air Cargo, JRS Express, LBC Air

DHL, Daily Overland Express, EXCEL, Kabayan
Forwarders, and Aboitiz Air Cargo.
Telegraphy
Aside from the postal service, two private telegraph
offices (PT & T and RCPI-Bayantel) and one (1) governmentowned, the Bureau of Telecommunications (BUTEL), are
operating in the city. In addition to telegraphy services, all three
also provide long-distance services. BUTEL particularly operates
a public calling office (PCO) established under DOTC's Municipal
Telephone Program. The PCO - which is allotted a very small
aperture terminal (VSAT) enabling it to provide domestic (DDD),
international direct-dialing (IDD),
facsimile (FAX) services to
users - is a hotline for use during emergencies and natural
calamities.
Telephone Services
ICC-Telecoms, an affiliate company of the Lopez-owned
Bayantel Corporation, which has its main office along Blumentritt
Street; and the Digital Telecommunications, Inc. (DIGITEL), a
Gokongwei-owned company which manages and operates the
Luzon-wide National Telephone Program (NTP) system built by
government, mainly provide telephone services in the city.

Computer linkages and network through the INTERNET has
advanced and connected the city to the Information Superhighway or
World Wide Web (WWW). There are three (3) Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) in the city. Recently cyber-cafes has began
mushrooming in the city.
Thanks to our newly acquired internet capability in partnership
with both service providers, the city government has in fact become
one of the first LGUs in the country which got hooked to the NET.
Likewise, the city library is one of the first, if not the first, local
government-owned libraries to provide Internet service to its clients.
Broadcast Media

WATER
The 24-hour capacity of the two springs located in Pili,

Camarines Sur is measured at 4,147.2 cu.m. per day for the
Rumangrap Spring and 691.2 cu.m. per day for the Anayan Spring.
Waterworks
There are four (4) waterworks systems existing in
Naga, a bigger Level III system managed and
operated by the Metro Naga Water District (MNWD); a
smaller Level III system in Barangay Cararayan; and
Level II systems in Del Rosario and at Pacol-CarolinaPanicuason area.
MNWD system
The waterworks system run by MNWD supplies
much of Naga City and its four neighboring towns of
Canaman, Pili, Camaligan and Magarao. Its main source
of water comes from 2 springs located in Pili, Camarines
Surthe Anayan and Rumangrap springs---and 13 deep
well pumping stations located in Prieto, Del Rosario, San
Felipe I, II & III, Villa Sorabella, Magdalena, Mabolo,
Almeda, Pacol I, Canaman, Baras and Capilihan (see
Table 2.124). In 1998, MNWDs average daily production
has more or less 21,900 cubic meters.
The MNWD water system has a total of 14,640
active connections with an average increase of 42 new
connections every month. The average daily
consumption of residential, commercial and industrial
users account for 1.0, 1.4 and 3.9 cu. m. respectively
while systems loss through pilferage, illegal connection is estimated

at 25% of the daily production.

To meet the increasing demand for potable water, the city
government initiated the construction of a new well and assisted the
water district in accessing additional funding for other wells from the
Local Water Utilities Administration and the Asian Development bank
(ADB). Next page shows the different water facilities of the city
(Figure 2.24).

On the other hand, our very own Task Force Tubig (TFT),
which aims to install Levels I and II water system in key areas of the
city, had accomplished the following for 1999 alone: installed 95
units and repaired 11 units of shallow wells (Level I); purchased
materials for the installation of 5 lateral lines and 7 public faucets in
different locations (Level II); and, repaired and maintained the
Panicuason-Carolina-Pacol Water System (Level III).

This Level III system services mainly Barangay Cararayan,

an upland barangay located about five kilometers away from the city
proper.
There are now a total of 102 households connected to the
system, which sources its water from a nearby spring. A local
association of Cararayan residents manages the system.

Watershed Areas
The Naga City River Watershed is bounded by the following:
North, by the Municipality of Calabanga; South, by the Municipality of
Pili; West, by the Bicol River; and East, by the Municipality of Goa. It
appears to be like an elongated leaf with a pointed tip, lying down
along the east-west axis; with its outlet oriented almost due west,
and its approximate area of 5,445 hectares; the greater portion of
which is located in the lower half towards the outlet.

Potential Water Sources

The following are the city's potential water sources:
1. Existing wells for development located at Barangays Cararayan,
Carolina and Concepcion Pequea.
2. Proposed MNWD wells to be constructed at Barangays San
Isidro, Carolina and Pacol.
3. Proposed dam to be constructed at Barangay Panicuason.
4. Proposed MNWD reservoir to be constructed at Barangay
Panicuason.
5. Proposed treatment plant to be constructed at Barangay
Carolina.
Groundwater Pollution
The following were identified as sources of groundwater pollution:
1. The existing dumpsite at Barangay Balatas.
2. The proposed sanitary landfill to be located at Barangay
Cararayan.
3. LWUA consultants estimated groundwater extraction from private
wells of 4.72 cu.m./hr. and groundwater recharge of 2.38
cu.m./hr. To validate these data, it was suggested that regular
monitoring be conducted by MNWD. Findings show that there
were no saline water intrusion, substantiated by the fact that the
Mabolo and Prieto Pumping Stations, although located at the
lowest elevation, were found to be negative from these
substances and still being used by the MNWD as a water source.
Presently, the Malabsay Falls Potable Water Source

Development Project located at Bgy. Panicuason, is on-going,
capacity of which is equivalent to 1 pumping station.
To prevent this, the following measures are carried out by the
MNWD:
a. regular monitoring of groundwater at private wells;
b. no drilling at downstream area;
c. regular monitoring of groundwater at downstream area; and
d. regulation of construction of additional private wells.
Surface Water
The water flowing in the rivers, streams and creeks, including
the water in most lakes and ponds are classified as surface water.
Generally, this refers to all water flowing over the surface of the land;
and this is a portion of rainfall that is directly converted into surface
run-off.
In Naga City, the main river that conveys the surface water to
the Bicol River is the Naga City River. This is the name of the river
as it traverses the urban center of the city. However, the same river
comes from the Yabo Sadit and Yabo Grande. The Yabo, Caromatig
and the Langon Creeks altogether drain into the Naga City River.
Located near the headwater of the Naga City River are 2
accessible waterfalls, namely: the Malabsay and Nabontolan Falls.
The MNWD is planning to harness the surface water from Yabo
River for drinking and domestic water supply for Naga City.
Currently, the surface water from the entire stretch of Naga River is
used only for irrigation, along the middle portion of the Naga City
River Watershed.

Fuel used for Cooking
POWER
In terms of fuel used for cooking,

6985 or 34.09 percent of the total
household use LPG while the remaining
13,503 or 65.91 percent use electricity,
kerosene, charcoal, wood and others.

the Camarines Sur II Electric Cooperative (CASURECO II), one of
the four (4) electric cooperatives engaged in power retail in
Camarines Sur.
Power is sourced mainly from the Luzon Grid owned and
operated by the National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR).
The Naga City government, in the last 3 years, has
provided funding
to further expand coverage under its rural
electrification program.
In line with the program to provide road illumination to all key
points in the city especially the barangays, the city government has
extensively installed streetlights. The urban district, for one, is now
well-lighted with sodium lights. Their maintenance is handled by 2
streetlight teams belonging to the General Services Division of the
city government.

Current Problems and Future Needs

1. Some of the remaining unenergized barangays cannot be
reached by service crews, hence, there is a need for government
subsidy, especially infrastructure facilities.
156

2. Systems loss: some consumers do not pay their electric bills
while some were having direct electrical connection or "jumpers".
3. Right-of-way problems.
4. Conduct of clearing activities.
5. Need for installation of electric posts in new urban poor sites and
"sitios" .
6. Power interruption due to NPC.
Goal - To provide total electrification in the City of Naga.
Objectives
1. To ensure implementation of the CASURECO's annual electricity
program for Naga City.
2. To reduce to the minimum the rate per kilowatt of electricity.
3. To reduce, if not eliminate, systems loss
Strategies

Existing Local Government and Administration

Organization and Management. Almost 50 years after it
was created a charter city, the Naga City Government has evolved
an organizational structure that departs significantly from what was
originally provided for under its charter, R.A. 305. The enactment
of R.A. 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of
1991, greatly accelerated this on-going organizational development
into what the city government bureaucracy is today.
Departments. The Code, which mandated the devolution of
certain national government functions, authority and responsibility,
together with their corresponding personnel complement, brought
the number of departments/offices of the local bureaucracy into 25.
These are presented hereunder.

To address other priority concerns of the city government,

the following quasi-government bodies were also created to take
the lead role in coordinating delivery of sector-specific services by
national and local government agencies:
Naga City Anti-Drug Abuse Council, which spearheads a
coordinated, multi-sectoral drive against drug abuse.
Naga City Sports Council, which is tasked to undertake a
year-round program of sports activities.
City Complaints and Assistance Team, which focuses on
speeding-up delivery of basic services to city residents.
City Development Information Council, which is tasked to

serve as a conduit of information between the city government and
its constituents.
Naga City Senior Citizens Federation, which is tasked to
promote the general welfare and well-being of city residents 60
years old and above.
Council for the Welfare of Children, which is tasked to
coordinate the formulation, implementation, and enforcement of all
policies, programs and projects relative to the survival, development
and protection of children.
Urban Development and Housing Board, which is tasked to
recommend to the city government a continuing inventory and
identification of lands for socialized housing and as resettlement
areas for the immediate and future needs of the urban poor,
underprivileged and homeless in the urban areas. This board
represents the city government and shall coordinate with the Housing
and Land Use Regulatory Board and the Housing and Urban
Development Coordinating Council in formulating a National Urban
Development and Housing Framework, as mandated by Republic Act
No. 7279.
Naga City Investment Board. The Naga City Investment
Board, and its implementing arm, the Naga City Investment
Promotions and Action Center, have been created to attract and
channel specific types of private investments in specific areas of the
city. This departs from past practices wherein investment promotion
is haphazard and shotgun type responding only when an investor is
already in the city and preparing the area preferred by the investor.
The NCIB and IPAC signal a shift to active and focused investment
162

promotion channeling each type of investment to those areas of the
city where it will best contribute to urban growth and social equity.
Council for the Welfare of the Disabled, is the body
assigned on all matters pertaining to the prevention of the causes of
disability, rehabilitation and equalization of opportunities for persons
with disability.
Naga City Disaster Mitigation Project (NCDMP). This
project is under the umbrella program called Philippine Disaster
Mitigation Project being implemented by the League of Cities (LOC)
and the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP).
The project represents the LOCs efforts to build safer and
more livable cities. It will help establish awareness on the need for
disaster mitigation among cities and promote new standards at the
national and city levels through information campaigns and
demonstration projects, formal education courses, and policy
reforms.
Scope of the study is to undertake the following:
a. Analyze current situation which involves an assessment of
various development policies, plans and studies, and
characterization of risk barangays and population groups
b. Undertake hazard mapping and vulnerability assessment
involving a review, updating/validation and analysis/correlation of
available hydrological and river engineering studies and damage
assessment data/reports, and hazard map preparation; and
c. Formulate Disaster Mitigation Plan.
Naga Geographic Information System (GIS) Unit. One of

the extended Governance and Local Democracy (GOLD) Project
was the GIS of the city. The Naga GIS was established in 1994 with
assistance from USAIDs Decentralized Shelther and Urban
Development (DSUD) Project. It is under the program area on
service quality improvement.
The project achieved the following gains:
Created demand for GIS use To address weak demand

for GIS service within the local bureaucracy, a
participative
project
identification and prioritization
session yielded surprising results. The EDP Unit was
flooded with as much as 30 project proposals, which had
to be pruned down to three considering the remaining time
frame for technical assistance.
Rationed the application development process. Key to the

newfound interest on GIS is the involvement of almost all
agencies of the local government in the identification and
prioritization of priority GIS applications. This sent a ripple
effect
throughout
the
bureaucracy,
generating
stakeholdership momentum and inter-agency cooperation.
Within the
short span of technical assistance, the

Business Licensing Division of the City Treasurers Office
developed a functional GIS application that enabled the
city government to monitor compliance with licensing
requirements more effectively, thereby contributing to
more efficient revenue generation.

Information and Monitoring services

Project Monitoring Committee.
Ensuring
that infrastructure projects are implemented in
accordance with the standards and specifications of
the city government, a multi-sectoral body composed
of city government personnel and private sector
representatives was created by the previous city
administration. The Project Monitoring Committee
(PMC), as the group is called, checks infrastructure
projects during implementation and conducts final
inspection prior to the processing of the contractor's
vouchers. Sanctions are applied to errant contractors
ranging from diminution of payment, reworking of
defective portions, to outright blacklisting and
withholding of payment. Through the PMC, the city
has been able to generate savings in maintenance
expenses, and investments in new infrastructure to
replace defective projects.
City Information Division. This office of the
city government is under the Office of the City Mayor
and is in charged with the dissemination of
information to the public thru the print, broadcast and
visual media.

Dissemination of vital information may either be conducted

thru arranged press conference or press releases distributed to
several media outlets including interviews conducted and aired thru
radio and TV programs.
Presently this office is endeavoring to maintain a regular

quarterly monitoring publication of an informative journal. This
medium presents a more incisive and thorough explanation and
narrative of current developments being undertaken by the city
government vital to its constituents. It likewise features activities of
other local government offices oftentimes obscure to the public yet
very significant to the day-to-day transaction at City Hall. It plays an
165

important role in maintaining transparency in the pursuit of efficient
local governance.
Increased collection. The City Treasurer's Office, at the

forefront, the city government launched an intensified revenue
generation campaign anchored on the following strategies:
Project Implementation
A three-man special committee was created to oversee and
monitor the implementation of all programs and projects being
undertaken by different task forces and/or committees of the city.
It is also tasked to advise and/or take the lead in marshalling
the performance of these task forces and/or committees in the
interest of public service.
It shall update the Local Chief Executive of the various status
of the programs and projects being undertaken by respective task
forces and recommend to the LCE actions that may be undertaken in
pursuance of their mandates and objectives, including their
necessity, relevance and importance.
Fiscal Management
Naga's sound fiscal position today, as has been the pivotal
strategy of the previous administration, is not anchored alone on its
IRA share but more on the collection of local taxes and revenues,
thus, complementing the national windfall.
Two fundamental thrusts helped in attaining this healthy
financial standing by pursuing: increased revenue generation and
judicious utilization of government resources.
Intensifying collection efforts.

This basically requires
fielding more people and motivating them to do their work more
efficiently and effectively. As a consensus, ways and means were
resorted to in avoiding the possibility of incurring graft and corruption.
Updating existing tax measures and introducing new
ones.
The
former basically involves revision of tax rates,
assessment levels, and schedule of market values to reflect more
accurately prevailing economic realities.
The
latter involves
studying new revenue generating measures, proposing them to the
Sangguniang Panlungsod, and working for their adoption.
Enhancing local revenue database. Built around the
computerization of various aspects of revenue generation, it
seeks to expand the local tax base by institutionalizing and
maintaining more accurate records of local taxpayers for better
monitoring and control. Thus far, business licensing and real
property tax assessment had been computerized as of January and
June 1994, respectively and with the help of the city EDP unit
continuous upgrading of the systems and hardware components
have been made.
Bail out program for delinquent taxpayers. This basically
involves the granting of general tax amnesty to delinquent real
property owners who are perceived to be no longer in the position to
settle their back taxes and penalties, enabling them to start anew.
For the City Government, it is another means of putting in place a
wider tax base as a tool for future collection efforts.
166

These strategies paid off as attested by the following:
Total Revenue. From only PhP 17.6 M in 1984 and PhP 19.3 M
in 1987,
Naga's total revenue in 1998 soared to PhP
262,493,634.42.
Real Property Taxes. From only PhP 3.1 M in 1984 and PhP 3.2
M in 1987, Naga's real property tax collection was hiked to PhP
36,091,290.66 in 1998.
Business Taxes and Licenses. From only PhP 3.0 M in 1984
and PhP 4.3 M in 1987, Naga's take from business taxes and
license shot up to Php 41,542,957.49 in 1998.
Judicious use of government resources.
This strategy
supplements efforts to increase tax collection and widen the local
tax base by optimizing the use of the city government's financial
resources.

years.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Table 2.139
Distribution of Revenues by Source
Financial Position
The present administration vigorously pursued its
twin guidepost in fiscal management: a) increasing revenue
collection, and b) judicious use of government resources. The
unparalleled fiscal stability of the city government can be
attributed to this two-pronged financial management program.
This claim can be verified from the following financial
statements and comparative presentations of the financial
growth of the city government in the past years.

EXISTING LAND USE
Features of the Existing Land Use
Table 2.142 presents the existing land use of the city based
on data generated through the city governments Geographic
Information System (GIS). In terms of land use, Naga City, as shown
in the table, is still predominantly an agricultural city, with agricultural
lands accounting for 67.55 percent (please refer to Figure 2.25 next
page).
The next biggest land use in terms of land area is residential,
which accounts for 14.30 percent of the total. Mostly, these are found
within or near the Downtown Area and its peripheries, particularly in
Barangays Concepcion Pequea, Grande and Del Rosario where a
number of residential subdivisions had already been developed.
This is followed by forest parks and reserves which account
for 7.23 percent of the total, concentrated wholly in the eastern part
of Naga up to Mt. Isarog.
Another important thing to consider is the sizeable tract of
land which were already reclassified by the Sangguniang
Panlungsod or have already been converted by DAR into nonagricultural areas whose owners have either left them idle and thus
became grassland or have been left into marginal agricultural lands.
This area has a total of approximately 504 hectares representing
5.97 percent of our total land area.

Comparative Land Uses (Existing and Proposed)

As shown in Table 2.143 on page 176, the citys existing land
use has agricultural area as the predominant land use with 5,709.05
hectares or 67.59 percent of the citys total land area. This does not
include some areas which we classified as areas proposed for AgroEcotourism, agri-industrial and the existing marginal agricultural
lands which are oftentimes lying idle which has an aggregate total
area of 2,046.52 hectares.
Comparing our proposed net urban expansion for the planning
period which total to approximately 1,439.95 hectares to our existing
agricultural lands of 5,709.05 hectares, the net urban expansion will
eat up about 25 percent of our existing agricultural lands. If we add,
however, the areas which we proposed for agro-ecotourism, agriindustrial and the marginal agricultural lands to our existing
agricultural lands which total to about 2,046.52 hectares, our net
urban expansion will eat only about 19 percent of our agricultural
lands.

Land Supply for Urban Expansion

Land supply is the land area available within a locality for
urban expansion. In the case of Naga City, after deducting the areas
considered for protection and conservation (NPAAs, NIPAs etc.) as
well as the built-up areas from its total land area, the land supply for
urban expansion is determined at 521.54 hectares.

Protection Areas or the Network of Integrated Protective

Areas (which totaled 611.14 hectares or 7.23 percent),
Environmental Critical Areas (which totaled 49.76 hectares or 0.59
percent) and the Projected Production Hazards or the Highly
Restricted Agricultural lands or NPAAAD/SAFDZ (which totaled

Land Use Development Needs

Generally, four development needs have been identified in the
Citys over-all land use, to wit:

Need for Increased Agricultural Income and Productivity

Uncontrolled and unplanned urban growth had been identified
in the predecessor land use plan as a major development challenge
for Naga. The same still holds true but in a bigger magnitude today,
made worse by the obsolence of the 1978 and the non-effectivity of
the 1994 land use plan and zoning ordinance.
About 88 percent of the total population---estimated at
113,840 in 1995---are living within the Downtown Area and its
adjoining barangays. Although this represents a 2-percentage point
drop from the 1978 level of 90 percent, it nonetheless translates to
an absolute increase in the urban population of more than 20,000.
This continuing urban concentration of the bulk of the population
continues to result, as it did 15 years ago, to a chain of urban
problems that bring discomfort, waste and inefficiency,
dissatisfaction and unrest.
Similarly, the outdated land use plan has brought about
unplanned growth in Nagas expanding built-up district, which is
characterized today by land use incompatibilities, congested and
blighted residential areas, fire hazards and mostly dilapidated
houses along riverbanks, narrow streets and inefficiency of some

drainage facilities.
Nagas pace of urbanization and economic growth is only
expected to accelerate, given the momentum fashioned by the
current administration and the worldwide trend towards greater
urbanization. How to plan for an increased urban population and
meet its growing needs---in particular, ensuring that the population is
not overly concentrated in the Downtown barangays by dispersing
economic activities in the peripheries of the Downtown Area --- is a
continuing major challenge for the city.
Need for Increased

Productivity
Agricultural
Income
and
Nagas rapidly increasing external dependence for its rice

requirements---from only 13.7 percent in 1975 to 60.4 percent in
1994---is a serious weakness that the city government must address.
The very low productivity of the agricultural sector, which is indicated
by the drop in rice production in absolute terms between 1975 and
1994 not only underscores the city governments failure to pursue
balanced development but also compromises the citys food security.
This is threatened by reckless conversion of agricultural land
into non-agricultural use. While there is nothing wrong with land
conversion per se---especially when this is done within the limits
provided by law and an actual justifiable need for it exists---great
care must be exercised to protect whatever remains of the citys
prime non-negotiable agricultural lands.
Nevertheless, increased agricultural productivity is not only a
function of land area devoted to agriculture, but also to the yield per
hectare which can be measured in terms of the actual harvest and
177

corresponding increase in income it brings to the farming sector. For
the latter, production inputs and agricultural infrastructure support
matters a lot---better access to credit, cheap fertilizers and
chemicals, and new technology; farm-to-market roads, post-harvest
facilities and competitive farm gate prices for agricultural produce.
Thus, side by side with a definitive government policy on land
conversion, government should increase spending for and
investments on the agricultural sub-sector.
As Nagas population and income grow, the magnitude of this
problem will also grow proportionately. But if government does not
do something, its magnitude might even grow geometrically as can
be seen from what happened over the last two decades. In the 1978
Land Use Plan, it was estimated that a 60 percent increase in crop
production through maximization of available agricultural area,
coupled with sizeable inflow from outside sources, will be needed to
meet Nagas food demands. But the opposite happened since no
increase in production took place, leaving the city dependent on
outside sources for 60 percent of its needs today.
Thus the necessary range of support services needed in
agricultural production in a setting of increasing small farms will
undoubtedly present a major challenge to Naga City today and in the
future.

The past years have seen remarkable improvements, both in
the quantity and quality of basic services in Naga City, particularly in
infrastructure support (transportation, power and energy, water,
communication, drainage and waste disposal) and social services
(education, health, housing and protective services). The previous
chapters have amply elaborated on these headways, both as
important factors in, and fruits of, attaining a more equitable growth
and development for the city.
But these sectoral accomplishments do not exist in a vacuum.
Not only are there existing limitations or inadequacies in certain
areas of some of the sub sectors mentioned above; there are also
dynamic, self-limiting factors that impel constant improvements and
enhancements in the delivery of these basic services, including
population growth and movement, urbanization, economic growth
and increase in household incomes.
The following are some examples:
In transportation, while Naga has a high ratio of roads relative to
land area, most of these are concentrated in the Downtown
district. Of the 164.28 km. total road network, almost 58 km. or 25
percent are either asphalt, gravel or dirt. The bulk of these can be
found in, and links the citys center to the suburban areas of
Naga.
In water, there exists a strong possibility that current production
levels of the Metro Naga Water District will not be sufficient to
meet future needs, particularly when no additional water sources
are placed on-line or if the utility is able to implement demandside management strategies to bring down system losses and
prevent wasteful use.
In drainage and flood control, given the relatively low-elevation of
Nagas existing and proposed business districts vis--vis the
water level of San Miguel Bay, there is now a need to construct
complementary flood control structures such as dikes along Naga
River, in the light of recent floods which submerged most parts of
the city.
178

In education, the annual increase in elementary school enrolment is
expected to strain the current facilities of the local public school
system which account for 75 percent of the total elementary
population. Given the governments limited resources, how to
strike a balance between access and quality is a concern that the
city has to contend with.
In housing, the weak shelter component of the Naga Kaantabay sa
Kauswagan is a significant concern that contributes to the
housing backlog in Naga which is estimated to reach 7,362 in the
year 2000. This backlog is projected to increase geometrically if
no strong government intervention is made.

Similarly, Nagas economy experienced rapid growth over the
last seven years which is perhaps unequalled in its history. More or
less, the preceding two chapters provided the details. As a result, the
city not only reasserted its leadership as the regional center of trade
and commerce but likewise primed itself for assuming additional
economic responsibilities as Bicols services and financial center.
These new roles are nothing but iterations of its Uswag Naga 1998
and An Maogmang Lugar vision to become Southern Luzons most
progressive urban centers by the close of the current medium term.
Stated simply, the citys economy has built the needed
momentum for private sector-led growth that would propel it towards
its objective. The prevailing bullish sentiment in the economy is
widely evident. The rise of new subdivisions, the entry of new banks
the advent of shopping malls, and the coming of Manila-based food
giants---all these point towards increased purchasing power and
spending among consumers; renewed confidence in the private
sector; and the economic vitality and greater things in store for Naga,
especially when its new business district rises.
But this growth momentum need to be sustained. For one, the
previous chapter has identified as a threat political uncertainties
rooted in what is generally perceived to be a short three-year term
of elective local officials. There is, therefore, a definite need for
institutional mechanisms that would allow for long-term stability,
including greater peoples participation in local governance and the
development process. Development plans such as this document,
which enunciate and operationalize the Nagueos vision for a
greater Naga, also contribute to some extent toward such
stabilization.
Another area whose growth can help sustain that momentum
is the industrial sub sector, particularly manufacturing and
processing, which---although not as weak as agriculture---has yet to
reach its true potentials. But this subsector has the capability for
more substantial value-added in an economy. As pointed out, there
are existing opportunities which, if taken advantage of, can jumpstart
its development. These includes the Legaspi-Iriga-Naga Growth
Corridor Project and the Metro Naga Development Program, both of
which look up to Naga as an important, if not the main, anchor. The
establishment of a local export processing zone, a mandate that is
being pursued by the Philippine Export Processing Zone Authority
(PEZA), where light industries can be convinced to locate is likewise
another fine opportunity.
Finally, there is also the potential offered by tourism under the
Regional Tourism Master Plan which seeks to accelerate the
development of the tourism industry in Bicol. Nagas selection as a
priority area for investment under the masterplan can facilitate the
establishment of world-class resorts and hotels locally, and kick off
179

the development of the nearby airport in Pili into an alternate
international airport which the city deserves.
Land Use Requirements by Land Use Classification

Residential For the next five (5) years, Naga City will need
to expand its residential area by about 596.85 hectares due to
increase of household units (please refer to Social Sector, sub-sector
on Housing). This will entail reclassification and/or conversion of
some upland areas in the peripheries of the Downtown Area
adjoining the newly-opened subdivisions. Some of these lands are
now considered vacant lands or grasslands because they are untilled
or uncultivated, while small portions are being cultivated only during
rainy seasons.
There is, however, a need to encourage some subdivision
owners to develop fully some of the dead lands subdivisions which
are lying idle. This includes some of the socialized housing areas
and resettlement areas of the government.
Commercial and Industrial Areas For the next five

years, Naga City, being the existing primary commercial, industrial
and finance center in this part of the region will need a wide area for
commercial and industrial activities. The 1999 land use of the city
showed that commercial use accounts to only 1.6 percent of the total
built-up area. If we will adopt the maximum suggested ratio of 3
percent of the built-up area (based on the HLURB guidelines), the
city will need an additional estimated 179.59 hectares for commercial
land use. But since Naga is the undisputed commercial and
industrial center in this area as mentioned earlier, the city has
decided to identify eight (8) priority areas for investment, to wit:
1. Central Business District I; 2. East Highland AgroEcotourism Zone (Pacol, Carolina, Panicuason); 3. Concepcion
Growth Corridor (Concepcion Pequea, Concepcion Grande, del
Rosario); 4. Naga City Agro-Industrial Zone, del Rosario, Cararayan,
San Isidro, Pacol, Carolina); 5. Roxas-Panganiban Growth Triangle
(CBD II); 6. South Riverfront Growth Area (Sabang); 7. Market
Development Zones (all residential areas of the city); and 8. Joint
Agri-Business Zones (all agricultural areas of the city).
Parks, Playgrounds and Other Recreational

Areas With the succeeding years ahead, the City needs additional
10 or more hectares exclusively for a city park which will be located
somewhere at Concepcion Grande. This is strategically located
adjacent the residential subdivisions.
Institutional Areas Over the next five years, the existing

institutional areas could well accommodate the present and future
demands in terms of land requirements for educational facilities and
government institutions by 32.18 hectares. The Camarines Sur
National High School (CSNHS) needs approximately 50 or more
classrooms or about 2.5 hectares.
Open Space For the next five years, the present and future
subdivisions in the City are being required to provide 30 percent of
their total land subdivision area for open spaces. This requirement
will be sustained for the next five years providing the City an ample
stock of open spaces for future parks and recreational venues of the
subdivision residents.

Land Use SWOT Analysis

Strength.
The City draws its strength from its geographical
advantage, with its big areas for more expansion, strategic central
location, generally flat terrain, and its accessibility by almost all
modes of transportation.
These strengths, as reflected in Table 2.145 next page, were
taken full advantage of by the citys businessmen and investors,
thus, their lucrative investments.
Weaknesses. The 1995 Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance which
until updated, continues to guide allocation of citys physical
resources. Recent changes within the city would impel the
stakeholders to update the CLUP as an effective tool for sustaining
growth and development.
181

The overpopulation in the downtown area and the adjoining
barangays could create additional social problems aside from being
traffic generators as well as the skyrocketing prices of prime estate
which could end up as subject for endless speculations unless
alternative CBDs and satellite markets are put in place.
Opportunities. The process of updating the 2000 Comprehensive
Land Use Plan and its attendant Zoning Ordinance is an opportunity
for the city to reallocate its physical resources in a more effective,
efficient and coherent manner. Also, the Metro Naga strategy and
the Legaspi-Iriga-Naga Growth Corridor will amplify the Citys role as
the prime commercial and trading hub of the region.

Threats.The pressure to recklessly convert agri land for non-agri land

uses that could prejudice the local food security, given its low
productivity for the last two decades. Also, the low elevation of the
present CBD I, flood-prone downtown barangays, the heavy tide at
San Miguel Bay and the clogging of the Naga and Bicol rivers
would, if not properly addressed, work to the detriment of the City.
Key Sectoral Strategies

Assumed in this plan is the fact that the extension of the built-up
areas is inevitable because of the need to accommodate urban
functions required by the increasing population. In the process of
urban expansion, certain parcels of agricultural land will become
suitable for urban development. Others which are high-yielding will
have to remain in agricultural use. At this point, one might ask:
Which land? To what direction should change be permitted? To what
future function should a particular land be committed? These
questions actually implies the necessity of designing more judicious
scheme of allocating land to its alternative uses. And to do this,
some guidelines or principles have to be formulated.
The following policy strategies shall govern the allocation of
land space in Naga City at least for the next 5 years:
THREATS ( - )
Low elevation of CBD I

Flood-prone
High tide at San Miguel bay
Clogging of Naga and Bikol
rivers
KEY STRATEGIES ON LAND USE

PROXIMITY OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS TO PLACES OF WORK
The idea is to minimize home-to-work trips. This will reduce
the urgency of providing workspaces in the downtown where scarcity
of space for such a purpose is keenly felt. Minimization of commuting
to the downtown needs to be stressed in the structured plan.
182

ONLY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES WHICH ARE NONHAZARDOUS AND LESS POLLUTIVE SHALL BE ALLOWED
IN THE CITY
The primary concern of this plan is the quality of human
environment. Naga shall be maintained as a place conducive for
human habitation. Thus, the residents of the city should be protected
from industries discharging wastes that are hazardous to health.
DISTRIBUTION OF COMMUNITY SERVICES ALONG
HIERARCHICAL ARRANGEMENT
Services that are essential in the day-to-day life of the people,
require smaller population threshold, and need fewer people to
maintain operation should be located in residential neighborhoods or
barangays. On the other hand, more specialized services that
require bigger catchment areas should be in the downtown and in
places central to a cluster of barangays.
PRESERVATION OF PRIME AND HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE
AGRICULTURAL LANDS AND FOREST AREAS
COMPACT URBAN DEVELOPMENT

The existing urban area can admit more population without
congestion through proper design. A sprawl development would be
costly in terms of services and it can strain the existing road network.
EXPANSION OF COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AREAS
The city must provide new areas for commerce and agriindustries corresponding to the planned expansion of its urban area.
It has to anticipate the need for increased commercial and industrial
activities brought about by the heightened confidence of investors for
the development of Naga City.
RECOVERY OF EASEMENTS
The city must begin an all-out earnest efforts to recover the
easements and setbacks planned expansion of its urban area. It has
to anticipate the need for increased commercial and industrial
activities brought about by the heightened confidence of investors for
the development of Naga City.
Naga City has a fertile soil and a great portion of its

agricultural land falls under Type A land capability which is
characterized by a very good land that can be cultivated safely and
requires only simple but good farming management practices. If the
uncontrolled and unwise encroachment of prime agricultural land will
remain unabated, its development potentials will continue to be
unbalanced, leaving it heavily dependent on others for its food
requirements, particularly rice.

CHAPTER 3
NAGA CITY LAND USE PLAN
& ITS IMPLEMENTATION
186
CHAPTER 3
THE 2000 NAGA CITY
LAND USE PLAN
Plan Implementation
To address the major development and the sectoral needs identified
in the preceding chapters, the city government has updated its land
use plan to make it more responsive and relevant to the times in
general, and Nagas needs within the planning period in particular.
This chapter is all about the 2000 land use plan. It describes
this updated plan in greater detail, tracing influencing urban growth,
which has shaped Naga over the years; and how they have evolved
issues and concerns peculiar to the city. It also describes the
proposed new land use plan, including the principles which guided its
crafting.
Nagas New Land Use Plan

3.1 Background
Factors Influencing Urban Growth
The pattern of land use in urban
setting
is
generally
influenced by forces which can be classified into economic, social,
physical and political.
Economic. The first represents the view of the economist
who considers land as a commodity with an specific money value. Its
price is dictated by the market. The demand for land in the downtown
is usually intense while the supply is short. This happens because of

the concentration of economics, cultural and institutional activities in
the urban core. The high price of land in core areas leads to the fast
conversion of residential zones into commercial uses and the moving
out of affluent residents to the suburbs.
Social. The social forces as determinants of land use include,
among others, individual values, life style, and status consciousness.
By owning a piece of real property, an individual satisfies his values.
Sometimes an individual may donate a lot for a school site to
achieve his objective of gaining a higher status in the community.
Physical. It is easy to comprehend how the physical
characteristics of the town affect its form, the manner by which the
people are distributed, and the rate of expansion of the urban sector.
Of course, cities with flat terrain are more likely to experience rapid
expansion than those on hilly terrain.
Political. Political interventions play a part in the structuring of
a town or city. The local government may exercise its power of
eminent domain to make available certain land for a specific public
use or purpose.
It is clear from the above that the structure of a town or city is
merely a product of the will of man. Being so, the citizens can build
the kind of settlement they want to aspire for. The trouble, however,
is that many individuals make the decisions and these decisions
could be motivated by personal and private interest. It is necessary,
therefore, that the government must intervene to bring about a more
coherent relationship among urban functions.
Local Application
In the case of Naga City, some of the factors that contributed
significantly to the emergence of the present pattern of land use are:
187

(1) topography of the city; (2) high cost of land at the CBD; (3)
ownership of land; (4) relocation of transport terminals; (5) intensive
implementation of infrastructure facilities, and; (6) recent flooding
incidence.
Guiding Principles
It is assumed in this plan that the extension of the built-up
areas is inevitable because of the need to accommodate urban
functions required by the increasing population. In the process of
urban expansion, certain parcels of agricultural land will become
suitable for urban development. Others which are high yielding,
certainly, will have to remain in agricultural use. At this point, one
might ask: Which land? To what direction should change be
permitted? To what future function should a particular land be
committed? These questions actually implies the necessity of
designing a more judicious scheme of allocating land to its
alternative uses. And to do this, some guidelines or principles have
to be formulated.
The following guiding principles shall govern the allocation of
land space in Naga City at least for the next 5 years:
1. PROXIMITY OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS TO PLACES OF
WORK
The idea is to minimize home-to-work trips. This will
reduce the urgency of providing parking spaces in the
downtown where scarcity of space for such a purpose is
keenly felt. Minimization of commuting to the downtown
needs to be stressed in the structured plan.
The primary concern of this plan is improvement of the

quality of the human environment.
Naga shall be
maintained as a place conducive for human habitation.
Thus, the residents of the city should be protected from
industries discharging wastes hazardous to health.
3. DISTRIBUTION OF COMMUNITY SERVICES ALONG
HIERARCHICAL ARRANGEMENT
Services that are essential in the day-to-day life of the
people, require smaller population threshold, and need
fewer people to maintain operation should be located in
residential neighborhoods or barangays. On the other
hand, more specialized services that require bigger
catchment areas should be in the downtown and in places
central to a cluster of barangays.
4. PRESERVATION OF PRIME AND HIGHLY
PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURAL LANDS AND FOREST
AREAS
Naga City has a fertile soil and a great portion of its
agricultural land falls under Type A land capability which
is characterized by a very good land that can be cultivated
safely and requires only simple but good farming
management practices. If the uncontrolled and unwise
encroachment of prime agricultural land will remain
unabated, its development potentials will continue to be
unbalanced, leaving it heavily dependent on others for its
food requirement, particularly rice.
5. COMPACT URBAN DEVELOPMENT
2. ONLY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES WHICH ARE

NON-HAZARDOUS AND LESS POLLUTIVE SHALL BE
ALLOWED IN THE CITY
The existing urban area can admit more population without

congestion through proper design. A sprawl development
188

would be costly in terms of services and it can strain the
existing road network.
6. EXPANSION OF COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL AREAS
The city must provide new areas for commerce and agriindustries corresponding to the planned expansion of its
urban area. It has to anticipate the need for increased
commercial and industrial activities brought about by the
heightened confidence of investors for the development of
Naga City.
3.2 The New Land Use Plan of Naga City

The new Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the planning
period 2000-2004 is primarily intended to address the citys needs
within the next first five years of the New Millennium by providing a
more responsive and relevant mechanism for guiding its
development directions through land allocation.
Features of the New Land Use Plan
From Table 3.1, it can be seen that Nagas new land use
classification schemes makes use of thirteen
(13) land use
categories. These include the classifications used in the 1994 CLUP
with the addition of the Transportation Utilities and Agro-Ecotourism
Areas.
Agro-Ecotourism Zone. The New Land Use Plan designated
and delineated an Agro-Ecotourism Zone covering the areas of
Pacol, Carolina and Panicuason. These upland areas, as determined
by the Naga City Investment Board, boast of natural and man-made
Agro-Ecotourism attractions. Their presence will help preserve the
ecological balance in the area, encourage the growth of Agro-
Ecotourism activities in the area without compromising the natural

harmony and discourage needless conversion of lands covered
under the zone into incompatible and non-conforming uses. This
zone has more or less 1,195.66 hectares representing 14.15 percent
of the total land area.

Transportation Utilities. The new CLUP allotted 24.45

hectares or 0.29 percent of the Citys total land area. These utilities
include the newly operated (Integrated Bus and Jeepney Terminals
in CBD II), other terminals under construction, and the existing ones
(Canaman/Magarao, Pasacao/Sipocot, Tamban/Tinambac Jeepney
Terminals). Except for the existing city roads and streets, this also
includes the PNR railway track.

Expansion of the Agri-Industrial base. The present Agriindustrial base has been expanded to 346.43 hectares or 4.10
percent of the citys total. Naga Citys agri-industrial base is primarily
located at Del Rosario, Cararayan and San Isidro. New agriindustries like feed mill, food processing, and the like are among the
priority investments in the area provided that no pollution or any
hazardous effects shall be emitted from these establishments.
Proposed
Circumferential/Diversion Roads. The New
Land Use Plan has incorporated the proposed road network of
Circumferential and Diversion Roads that will connect strategic
points or investment areas around the city. Among the proposed
Circumferential/Diversion Road projects in the drawing board are:
Diversion Road II which will run parallel to the Concepcion Road and
will traverse the southern portion of the Concepcion Pequea,
Concepcion Grande and Del Rosario areas; Diversion Road II or the
Sabang-Mabulo-Triangulo Road that will hasten the growth of the
identified South Riverfront Investment Area; Marupit-Abella Road
which will complete the existing Roxas-Magsaysay-Abella
Circumferential Road.
Expansion of Residential to the Upland/Non-Flooding
Areas. The 2000 Comprehensive Land Use Plan has earmarked the
expansion of residential areas to the upland areas of San Felipe and
Pacol away from the flood-prone areas of the City. These residential
areas have a total of 1,886.28 hectares or 677.86 hectares bigger
than the existing figure. This new residential land use will more than
accommodate the future housing needs of the City within the next
five years.
Incorporation of the Eight (8) Priority Investment Areas of
the City. Since Naga is the undisputed commercial and industrial
center in this area as mentioned earlier, the city has decided to
identify eight (8) priority areas for investment, to wit: 1. Central
Business District I; 2. East Highland Agro-Ecotourism Zone (Pacol,

Carolina, Panicuason); 3. Concepcion Growth Corridor (Concepcion
Pequea, Concepcion Grande, del Rosario); 4. Naga City AgriIndustrial Zone (del Rosario, Cararayan, San Isidro, Pacol, Carolina);
5. Roxas-Panganiban Growth Triangle (CBD II); 6. South Riverfront
Growth Area (Sabang); 7. Market Development Zones (all residential
areas of the city); and 8. Joint Agri-Business Zones (all agricultural
areas of the city).
Comparative Land Use: Existing and Proposed

Agricultural. In the 2000 Comprehensive Land Use Plan,
agricultural areas have substantially decreased due to its conversion
to urban functions, influx of subdivision developers for the last 10
years, and low-income or agricultural yield on the part of the farmers
who instead ventured to non-agricultural activities/enterprises.
Thus, from 6,325.28 hectares in the existing land use, the
proposed agricultural area is 3,553.23 hectares or 2,772.05 hectares
smaller than the existing agricultural area.
Residential. The 2000 Comprehensive Land Use Plan will
have an additional 677.86 hectares intended for residential
purposes. This has a percentage variance of 7.06 percent as against
the existing figure.
Commercial and Industrial. The 2000 Comprehensive Land
Use Plan will have an additional 179.59 hectares intended for
commercial expansion and 183.80 hectares for industrial expansion.
These have percentage variances of 2.12 and 0.92 percentage
points, respectively, as against the existing figures in terms of its
percentage in the total City land area.
Institutional. The Citys institutional facilities will add another
32.18 hectares to accommodate the additional public and private
191

service facilities in the next five years. This is 0.38 percent bigger
than the existing figure.
Cemeteries. The City cemeteries and memorial parks in the
proposed will increase significantly from only 17.11 hectares at the
present to 33.95 hectares or a difference of 16.84 hectares.
Parks, Plazas and Open Spaces. With the mandatory
allocation of open spaces in new subdivisions, this land use category
is expected to increase by 7.46 hectares more than the present 2.49
hectares.
Dumpsite. With the physical expansion of the present
dumpsite in Balatas, the adjoining 1.7 hectare property will be tapped
for the dumping of garbage in the next five years.
New Additions
Agri-Industrial and Agro-Ecotourism Areas. The new
classifications in the proposed 2000 CLUP which include the AgroIndustrial and Agro-Ecotourism have an aggregate land area of
1,542.09 hectares representing 18.25 percent of the Citys total land
area.
Forest Reserves and Water Bodies. The Citys Forest
Reserves and Water Bodies remain as it were. Situated primarily
within the eastern mountainous portions of the City and covering the
western side of Mt. Isarog, the Forest Reserves has a total of 611.14
hectares or 7.23 percent of the entire City land area. On the other
hand, the water bodies snaking through the Citys terrain remains at
43.72 hectares or 0.52 percent.
