HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The word Taytay has many origins. It is believed that the name came from
words like tayutay, hintay-hintay, and itay-itay which arose when the village or
barangay was doing trade with Chinese traders as did other lake towns around
Laguna de Bay. Chinese sailing vessels would dock at Manila Bay to conduct trade
with the thriving barangays of Maynilad and Tondo and go up the Pasig River to
do more barter trade with lakeshore towns looping Laguna de Bay.
Known as the "Woodworks and Garments Capital of the Philippines", the

history of the Municipality of Taytay dates back to pre-Spanish times when this
traditional community was ruled by a native chieftain and his wife, presumably as
a distinct Pre-Hispanic barangay composed of 30 to 100 families.
The barangay was supposedly part of the Kingdom of Namayan which

reached its peak in 1175. Namayan's territory has been described bordering Manila
Bay, the Pasig River, and Laguna Lake. A more precise description of Namayan's
administrative area is given by Franciscan scholar Fr. Felix de Huerta, who, noting
that Namayan was a confederation of several barangays, identified these
component communities as they were named during the mid-19th century.
Under the Spanish Rule, the territory occupied by the previous 26 towns of
Rizal Province began with the organization of the Provinces of Tondo and La
Laguna during the Spanish regime. Some of the towns like Pasig, Parañaque,
Taytay and Cainta were already thriving. Tagalog settlements carried on trade with
the Chinese and Arab traders long before the Spanish conquest.
From the reports of the Encomiendas in 1582-83, the Encomiendas of

Moron (Morong) was under the jurisdiction of La Laguna and, the Encomiendas
of Passi (Pasig), Taitay (Taytay) and Tagui (Taguig) belonged to the Province of
Tondo. It was recorded that in 1591, the Encomiendas of Moron and Taitay were
under the jurisdiction of the Franciscan Order in the Province of La Laguna; and
the Encomiendas of Nabotas (Navotas), Tambobo (Malabon), Tondo, Parañaque,
Longalo (Dongalo), Tagui and Pasig were under the jurisdiction of the
Augustinians in the Province of Tondo.
In 1853, a new political subdivision was formed. This consisted of the

towns of Antipolo, Bosoboso, Cainta and Taytay from the Province of Tondo; and
the towns of Morong, Baras, Tanay, Pililla, Angono, Binangonan and Jalajala from
the Province of La Laguna, with the capital at Morong. This district was later
changed to Distrito Politico-Militar de Morong after four years.
1
COM
In 1860, by virtue of Circular No.83, dated September 2, 1859, the Province

of Tondo became the Province of Manila. All its towns were placed under the
administration, fiscal supervision and control of the Governor of the new province.
The town of Mariquina (Marikina) became the capital of the Province of

Manila during the tenure of the revolutionary government of Gen. Emilio
Aguinaldo. The Province of Morong had for its capital the town of Antipolo for
the period 1898-1899, and the town of Tanay for 1899-1900.
On February 6, 1901, the Second Philippine Commission sought to

establish civil government in the country through a provincial organization act after
the Filipino-Spanish and Filipino-American conflicts.
Wherefore, on June 5, 1901 a historic meeting was held at the Pasig

Catholic Church for the organization of a civil government in the Provinces of
Manila and Morong, with 221 delegates in attendance. The First Philippine
Commission, headed by President William Howard Taft and composed of
Commissioners Luke E. Wright, Henry C. Ide, Bernard Moses and Dean C.
Worcester, discussed with the Assembly the issue of whether or not to write the
Province of Manila with Morong Province, or if it was not self-sufficient to operate
as a separate province.
Although the delegates from Morong, Don Hilarion Raymundo and Don
Jose Tupas, objected to the proposal, Delegate Don Juan Sumulong of Antipolo
strongly advocated the move. After much acrimonious debate and upon the
suggestion of Dr.Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera who accompanied the commission,
the body agreed on the creation of a new province independent of the Province of
Manila. The new province was aptly named after Dr. Jose P. Rizal dubbed as the
greatest Malayan that ever lived.
On June 11, 1901, the province of Rizal was officially and legally created
by virtue of an Act No. 137 by the First Philippine Commission, which at the time
was acting as the unicameral legislative body in the island of Luzon. The new
province was composed of 26 municipalities, fourteen from the old Province of
Manila (Las Piñas, Malabon, Makati, Parañaque, Mandaluyong, San Juan,
Navotas, Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros, Pasig, Marikina, San Mateo,and
Montalban); and 12 from the Politico-Militar District of Morong, (Angono, Baras,
Binangonan, Cainta, Antipolo, Cardona, Jalajala, Morong, Pililla, Tanay, Taytay
and Teresa). The seat of the provincial government was Pasig.
2
COM
On November 7, 1975, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824, the 12

towns of Las Piñas, Parañaque, Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros, Makati,
Mandaluyong, San Juan, Malabon, Navotas, Pasig and Marikina were incorporated
into the newly formed Metro Manila Area thereby leaving the remaining 14 towns
of San Mateo, Montalban, Cainta, Taytay, Angono, Antipolo, Binangonan, Teresa,
Morong, Cardona, Tanay, Baras, Pililla and Jalajala to the Province of Rizal

GEOPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
The municipality of Taytay is one of the 14 municipalities of the province of

Rizal. It is situated in the western portion of the province with an absolute location of
14o34’24” north latitude and 121o07’48” east longitude. It shares political boundaries
with Cainta, Rizal in the north, Antipolo, Rizal in the northeast, Pasig, Metro Manila
in the northwest, Angono, Rizal in the east and southeast, Taguig, Metro Manila in the
southwest, and Laguna Lake in the south.
The municipality belongs to the First District of Rizal along with Angono,
Antipolo, Binangonan, and Cainta. According to the municipal document sources,
Taytay has a land area of 4,140 hectares or 3.2 percent of the total land area of Rizal
Province. On the other hand, Taytay’s land area is pegged at 3,374 hectares or 2.6
percent of the total provincial land area in the Draft Physical Framework Plan of Rizal
(1993-2002) while it is estimated at 3,880 hectares in the Provincial Profile prepared
by the National Statistics Office (1996) and the Land Management Bureau.
For the purpose of this document, the land area that will be used is 3,880
hectares, based on NSO data. However, this figure is set to increase to 4,169.02
hectares—in light of the disputed areas between Taytay and the adjacent municipalities
of Cainta and Antipolo as well as the portions consumed by the Manggahan Floodway
and Napindan Channel.
The discrepancy in the land areas may lie on several factors. First, there are
disputed areas between Taytay and the adjacent municipalities of Cainta and Antipolo,
which have remained unresolved until today. Second, the land area that is used up by
Manggahan Floodway, a man-made structural measure to mitigate flooding disasters
in the Metro Manila area, is substantial at 60 hectares; and third, substantial portion of
the municipality located along the lakeshore of Laguna Lake, were sacrificed when
Manggahan Floodway and Napindan Channel were constructed. Today, these areas are
alternately or completely submerged by the waters of Laguna Lake. Figure 1 presents
the Location Map of Taytay while Figure 2 presents the Provincial Location Map of
Taytay.

POLITICAL SUBDIVISION
The municipality consists of five barangays, namely: San Juan, Dolores, San
Isidro, Sta. Ana, and Muzon. In terms of land area, Barangay San Juan is the biggest
while Muzon is the smallest barangay. The municipality has the least number of
barangays in the whole province of Rizal. Figure 3 presents the political subdivision of
barangays in the municipality while Table 1 presents the area distribution per barangay.

LANDFORM, SLOPE AND ELEVATION
Landform
About 69 percent of Taytay’s land area was already built-up, implying that only
31 percent remain undeveloped in 1988. This undeveloped area was constituted by
various landform types, namely: 611 has. of Lowland, 452 has. of Upland, 16 has. of
Miscellaneous, and 436 has. of Hills.
The Taytay Lowland is represented by three land management units: lacustrine

plain, narrow alluvial valley, and broad alluvial valley. These units are within the
depositional province of Marikina Valley.
Table 2 and Figure 4 present the area distribution of the different landforms
found in Taytay.
The Taytay Upland is exemplified by the gently sloping basaltic plateau of

eastern Taytay. The Taytay Hills are the rugged ultrabasic hills situated along the
Taytay-Antipolo boundary. The Taytay Miscellaneous Landform is portrayed by creek
escarpments and the built-up area.

TABLE 3. Description of Landforms in Taytay

Landform Description
Flatlands generally within the 70 meter elevation and
Lowland the most productive of all the landforms in Rizal.
Because of poor internal drainage, however, flooding
often occurs during heavy rainfall.
Upland Gently sloping land generally more than 70 meters in

elevation.
Has an elevation of 100 to 500 meters. The Taytay
Hill Hills were formed by dissection of plains, uplifted,
and restricted into their present position and shaped by
the faults cutting the area.
Miscellaneous Includes all other landform types not belonging to any

of the major landform categories mentioned.
SLOPE
Taytay is characterized by several slope classes which range from flat or level
to hilly. Based on computer generated figures, Slope A, which covers 65 percent of the
municipality’s land area, is Taytay’s most dominant slope class. Dominantly flat areas
are those of Barangays San Juan, Sta. Ana, and Muzon. In particular, Muzon and San
Juan are the barangays which ring the lake. Portions of the barangays become
submerged during high lake water levels. These areas also experience flash flooding
after a heavy rainfall, particularly the older built-up areas of the town Hilly areas, the
second most dominant slope class characterizing 16 percent of Taytay’s land area, are
localized mostly in Barangays Dolores and San Isidro. Areas characterized as gently
sloping (Slope C) are likewise found in the same barangays. These strongly sloping
and hilly areas, however, also suffer from slight to moderate erosion. This is because
of inappropriate land moving practices employed by some subdivision developers.
The Slope Map of Taytay is presented in Figure 5 while the area distribution of
the different slope classes in Taytay is presented in Tables 5 and 6.

Elevation
Taytay’s highest elevations are found in the northeastern hills of Barangay

Dolores close to the Antipolo boundary which ranges from 200 to 255 meters. The low-
lying areas, with an elevation ranging from 5 to 20 meters, are found along the southern
portions of Barangays Sta. Ana, San Juan, and Muzon bordering Laguna Lake. These
coastal strips of land are the lake’s shoreland areas, which are underwater during
certain months of the year. Shoreland areas, or those areas lying at elevation 12.5
meters and below, are considered part of the bigger Laguna Lake basin region where
land uses must be strictly regulated to maintain the lake’s ecological equilibrium.
GEOLOGY
Taytay is underlain by three geologic units, namely: Quaternary Alluvium,

Laguna Formation, and Angat Ophiolite (Schoell and Casareo, 1987) or Kinabuan
Formation (Melendres and Versoza, 1960).
The Quaternary Alluvium in Taytay is found in a depositional province called

the Marikina Valley situated in the center west of the study area and trending north-
south. It consists of unconsolidated sediments, e.g. silt and sand, of variable forms and
thickness deposited along Taytay’s river terraces and floodplains during major flood
events by local river systems during the last 10,000 years. The alluvium is largely
derived from the erosion of the Laguna Formation. Laguna Formation’s stream
deposits cover approximately 16 percent of Taytay’s hilly areas. The Laguna
Formation’s fluviatile deposits are described as fine to coarse grained deposits with
siltstones, sandstones, and conglomerates whose sediments are volcanic in origin. It is
believed that the source of the volcanic materials of the Laguna Formation was a
previously existing volcanic crater in the mid-Laguna Lake.
11
COM
Guadalupe Formation’s upper member, Diliman Tuff, is thin to medium-

bedded, fine grained vitric tuffs and welded volcanic breccias with subordinate amount
of tuffaceous, fine-to-medium grained sandstone.
The Angat Ophiolite’s (or Kinabuan Formation) pillow basalts are mostly lava
flow types which underlie Taytay’s highlands. Individual flows are in the range of a
few meters to a few tens of meters in thickness. The pillow structure indicates that the
basalt flows underwent immediate cooling in a submarine environment nearby a
spreading center or a persistent volcanic source on the seafloor. The Angat Ophiolite
is 66.4 to 144 million years old.
SOILS
Based on the soil taxonomic classification, there are five soil subgroups in
Taytay. These are: (1) vertic tropaquept representing the narrow alluvial valley, (2)
ultic tropudalf representing the basaltic plateau, (3) aeric flovaquent representing the
lacustrine plain, (4) udorthentic pellustert representing the broad alluvial valley, and
(5) typic tropudalf representing the ultrabasic hills.

The vertic tropaquept is described as having the following characteristics: (a)

clay texture, (b) with slopes ranging from zero to five percent, (c) alluvium as parent
material, (d) soil depth of 0 to 150 cm, (e) poorly drained, (f) pH values between 4.9

The ultic tropudalf has the following features: (a) clay to clay loam texture, (b)
with slopes ranging from 18 to 30 percent, (c) shale/sandstone as parent material, (d)
soil depth of 0 to 150 cm, (e) well drained, (f) pH values between 4.8 to 6.1, (g) with

The aeric flovaquent is described as having the following characteristics: (a)

fine loamy to clayey texture, (b) with slopes ranging from zero to two percent, (c)
alluvium as parent material, (d) soil depth of zero to 200 cm, (e) poorly drained, (f) pH
values between 5.6 to 6.9, (g) not susceptible to erosion, (h) with moderate to severe
flooding, (i) within 0 to 3 m in elevation.
The typic tropudalf has the following qualities: (a) clay texture, (b) slopes
between 30 to 50 percent, (c) ultrabasic rocks as parent material, (d) soil depth between
0 to 150 cm, (e) well drained, (f) pH values from 5.1 to 6.5, (g) with slight to moderate
erosion, (h) with no flooding incidence, and (i) within 100 to 300 m in elevation.
Finally, the udorthentic pellustert features the following: (a) clay texture, (b)
slopes between 0 to 3 percent, (c) alluvium as parent material, (d) soil depth between
0 to 150 cm, (e) poorly drained, (f) pH values from 5.2 to 7.5, (g) not susceptible
to erosion, (h) with no flooding incidence, and (i) within 0 to 20 m in elevation.

LAND RESOURCES
Taytay is already considered as completely urban by the NSO. This means that
the entire population is classified as urban and the pre-dominant economic activities
are no longer in agriculture, fisheries, and other extractive industries. Still, there are
pockets of non-urban land use in the middle of the urban area.
Open spaces are those wide open areas in the highland and hilly areas in
Barangay Dolores which are not yet built-up or only slightly developed and sparsely
populated. Many of these sloping lands are covered by occasional scrubs, shrubs and
grasses. Most of these lands, however, are already committed to residential land use.
These include residential developments which have been evaluated as landslide-prone
areas such as Glendale Subdivision and Mary Hill seminary.
MINERAL RESOURCES
A quarry site where filling materials are extracted is found at Sitio Hapay na
Mangga in Barangay Dolores.
WATER RESOURCES
Coastal Resources
As a lakeshore town, Taytay has a lacustrine environment owing to the

presence of Laguna Lake, which is also a fishery resource.
A big chunk of what constitutes agricultural lands/fishing grounds in the

municipality is part of the Laguna Lake shoreland area, which is alternately submerged
and exposed depending on the month of the year. This area is called panagarawan in
the vernacular. This area is used as a vegetable farm and a fishing area of small
subsistence farmers and fishers.
15
COM
Unfortunately, the lake is being rapidly degraded by human activities through

overutilization and pollution. Although only a narrow strip of the coastal resource is
under Taytay’s administrative jurisdiction, the town must contribute to the
conservation of this wetlands ecosystem in cooperation with the Laguna Lake
Development Authority (LLDA) in view of its plan to utilize the lake as a source of
potable water.
Surface Water Resources
The three major rivers in Taytay are Taytay River, Hulo River, and the
Napindan Channel. These water sources are definitely not fit for drinking unless water
from these sources undergoes a complete water treatment process. However, these
waters may be used for navigation. Hulo River snakes its way from upper Taytay across
Barangay San Juan towards the southern portion of Barangay Muzon. Napindan
Channel crosses the southern boundaries of Barangays Sta. Ana and San Juan as it
empties into Laguna Lake.
Taytay is also drained by a number of smaller creeks such as Bangiad, Lambac,

Libho, and Lagundi Creeks. These water sources are neither fit for drinking nor
recreation.
Groundwater Resource
Groundwater resource is also available in Taytay because of its shallow water

table. Taytay’s major aquifer system consists of the Quaternary Alluvium and the
Laguna Formation. An aquifer is a rock assemblage that effectively supplies water to
wells. The Quaternary Alluvium, measuring 150 meters thick in some places like Pasig
City, blankets the flat areas of Taytay. The Laguna Formation, amounting to 150 to
200 meters thick in the Antipolo Plateau, is exposed in the hilly areas of Taytay (IDRC,
1993).
As per the records of the National Water Resources Board (NWRB), there are
only 15 registered wells in Taytay which have been analyzed. Most of these are
described as deep wells based on the National Water Resources Council’s standards (z
I 1). The total number of wells in the municipality is about 114.
The average static water level based on data from 15 wells is 30.35 meters
below ground surface. The average specific capacity given the specific capacities of 12
wells is 1.07 liters per second per meter.
On the average, wells have a depth of 111.63 m with the shallowest at 30.48 m
and the deepest at 202.68 m in the Sumulong Highway area. Well discharge ranges
16
COM
from a low of 0.13 lps in Barangay Dolores to a high of 40 lps in Barangay San Isidro
resulting in an average of 9.66 lps.
One well located in the Meralco Office of Barangay San Juan has been
completely analyzed for physical and chemical quality. The parameters and results of
the water quality analysis are shown alongside the Department of Health (DOH)
Standard Values in Table 12.
In general, the results showed that the water quality results fall within the
WHO-DOH standards for drinking water. However, it appears that the groundwater is
characteristically hard and turbid.
The hardness value of the Meralco well is way above the recommended value
for moderately hard water, indicating that it is considered objectionable for ordinary
domestic purposes. This is because hard water can reduce the effectiveness of soap as
a cleanser by inhibiting lather formation. It may also hasten the formation of calcium
coatings on pipes and pumps. However, the DOH has emphasized that compliance with
the hardness standard of 100 mg/l is not obligatory, since no conclusive findings show
that hard water causes ill effects on humans.
In addition, the groundwater from the Meralco well has exceeded the DOH
standard in turbidity and color. These may be due to any of the following reasons:
inadequate treatment, resuspension of sediment in the distribution system, or the
presence of inorganic particulate matter. Unfortunately, a high turbidity concentration
can shield microorganisms from the effects of disinfection and may stimulate bacterial
growth. Hence, it is important that turbidity be kept low so that disinfection can be
effective.
Lastly, a taste value of 7.5 as shown may indicate the presence of potentially
harmful substances. Hence, the cause of the taste should be investigated. Taste may
originate from natural processes, biological sources, contamination by chemicals, or
as a by-product of water treatment.

SURFACE DRAINAGE
Taytay is principally drained by southwest trending rivers such as Taytay River,

Hulo River, and the Napindan Channel, all of which empty into Laguna Lake. The
Taytay River flows across Barangays Dolores and San Isidro and joins Antipolo River
(present course of Manggahan Floodway) as it passes through the southern end of
Barangays Sta. Ana and San Juan.
A flood-control infrastructure, the Manggahan Floodway, was established

along the course of the Antipolo River in the 1980s to serve as the conduit of Metro
Manila’s floodwaters toward Laguna Lake. The Manggahan Floodway has effectively
severed the southwestern portion of the municipality from the rest of the town. This
part of Taytay is accessible by land through Pasig City by crossing the Javier Bridge
which connects the east and west embankments, or by water by taking a short boat ride
across the floodway.
CLIMATE
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services

Administration (PAGASA) classified Taytay’s climate as Type I under the Coronas
Classification, which is characterized by two pronounced seasons: dry from November
to April and wet from May to October. Figure 7 presents the Climatological Map of
the Philippines.
Rainfall
The mean annual rainfall is approximately 2,000 millimeters, varying from

1,900 mm in the western part to 2,500 towards the eastern highlands.

NATURAL HAZARDS/CONSTRAINTS
Erosion
A large portion of the municipality is not susceptible to erosion because of its

level terrain. This portion extends from the lowland area toward Laguna Lake in the
south to the center of the town encompassing the whole of the old CBD or town center,
Sta. Ana, San Juan, and a portion of Muzon.
The upland areas of the town are, however, erosion prone varying from slight
to moderate with most of Barangay Dolores experiencing moderate erosion due to its
strongly sloping and hilly terrain. In addition, some parts of Barangays San Isidro and
Muzon have likewise been evaluated as moderately prone to erosion.

Fault Line
Taytay is traversed by a south-southeast trending Binangonan Fault which

roughly represents the boundary between Taytay’s plain and upland areas. In addition,
it represents the contact between the Quaternary Alluvium and stream deposits of the
Laguna Formation. The fault is considered as a segment of the East Marikina Fault
(IDRC, 1993) which’ together with West Marikina Fault’ composes the 40-km
Marikina Valley Fault System (MVFS). East Marikina Fault lies along the eastern side
of Marikina Valley originating from Rodriquez, Rizal (formerly Montalban) to
Marikina, Metro Manila and extending toward Angono, Rizal.
Recent mapping of geomorphic features associated with active faulting and

results of trenching work undertaken by Punongbayan et al. (1992) suggest that the
MVFS has moved within the last 10,000 years making the geologic structure a potential
24
COM
source of a major earthquake. Historical data suggest that the 1599, 1601, and 1771
quakes could have originated from the MVFS. However, based on the seismic records
of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), the Binangonan
Fault did not show any seismic activity for the period 1970 to 1985 (BSWM, 1988).
Figure 8. Erosion Hazard Map
Flooding
Having a generally flat, low-lying topography, Taytay is susceptible to flooding

especially after a heavy rainfall. Floodwaters may rise to half a meter on the average
and may reach a meter high during extreme cases, causing traffic jams and
inconvenience to commuters.
Flash flooding has become a normal occurrence in the old parts of the town
because of several reasons. One is the inadequacy of the drainage system consisting
only of open canals. This system relies on the gravity flow of storm water. These are
also prone to clogging by solid wastes, which aggravates the situation. Another cause
of flash flooding in Taytay is the apparent increased surface run-off from the highlands
of Taytay and Antipolo. This is due to rapid urban development of these areas in the
form of residential subdivisions, which creates more impermeable surfaces and
denudes the slopes of vegetative cover. More impermeable surfaces result in less
water percolation and more surface run-off during rainfall, which then rushes down
25
COM
to the flat-lying barangays of Taytay. Shown in Table 14 is a list of roads and

subdivisions located in and around the old town center that are easily inundated.

Moderate to severe flooding is also expected in low-lying areas near the

lakeshore of Laguna Lake, which are alternately submerged or exposed by the normal
annual rising and lowering of the lake water levels. These water-logged marshy areas
and the lake as a whole serve an important ecological function as a rainwater
catchment basin.
Slight to moderate flooding is likewise common in the flood plains of major

rivers in Taytay such as Tapayan River and Taytay River. Flood plains must therefore
be clearly delineated so that any future urban development in these areas,
particularly in Barangays Sta. Ana and San Juan, could use the flood plains as buffer
zones. There have been cases in the past when water overtopped their riverbanks due
to heavy rainfall.
Based on ocular surveys and environmental analysis, many creeks and rivers
have been encroached upon, effectively narrowing down river channels which lead to
overflowing. Moreover, it was observed that rivers and creeks disappear in certain
26
COM
areas where new housing and subdivisions are under construction. Figure 10 presents
the flood-prone areas of Taytay.

Landslides
When exposed rocks on hillsides are weathered, these materials are likely to
move down the slope because of the pull of gravity. Soil, debris, and rock moving in
bulk is a type of erosion process. Landslide is a general term for more rapid descent of
rock or debris. Understanding mass movements like landslides and their possible
hazards is particularly important in the hilly areas of Taytay.
Earthquake Hazards
A hazard evaluation of Metro Manila by Daligdig and Besana (1992) included

liquefaction-prone areas. A portion of Taytay that adjoins the boundaries of Taguig,
Pasig City, and Pateros in Metro Manila was identified as prone to liquefaction.
Historical records, geological and geomorphic characteristics, and underlying

ground conditions supported the findings. Damage ncaused by liquefaction on
reinforced-concrete infrastructures (one storey or more) has been observed in Dagupan
City after the 1990 North Luzon earthquake. Unfortunately, a liquefaction evaluation
is yet to be made on the whole of Taytay municipality.
Liquefaction is a process wherein loosely compacted water-soaked fine

sediments assume a liquid behavior when subjected to very strong ground vibrations
in an earthquake event. Accordingly, areas prone to liquefaction are characterized by a
presence of thick accumulations of water-saturated, fine to coarse sand layers (at least
3 m) with a shallow water table (within 3 m or less of ground surface).
Another earthquake-related hazard is ground rupture. This occurs when there is

a lateral and vertical movement of the ground in an earthquake event. Taytay is
vulnerable to this hazard since it is already highly built up. Based on the
recommendation of the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board, a fault zone of 5
meters on both sides of the fault line must be delineated as non-buildable.

DEMOGRAPHY
Among the 13 municipalities and one city of Rizal Province, Taytay ranked
third largest in terms of population distribution. At 262,485 in the 2007 census, it
garnered 11.4 percent share in the provincial total population.
The municipality has five barangays of which Santa Ana has exhibited to
have the highest population density despite its agricultural land use and small area.
This is followed by San Isidro with 82 persons per hectare, Muzon, with almost
70, and San Juan at 59. Dolores, meanwhile, has the least number of people per
hectare at 48, even though it has the second to the highest land area among all of
the barangays.
The following table presents the population, land area and population density of
the five barangays of Taytay.

With an average annual growth rate of 4.10 percent from year 2000 to 2007
and an average household size of 4.68, it is estimated that the population of Taytay
at the end of the planning period in 2020 shall be 442,330 with 94,458 households.
It is estimated that the city will double its 2007 population after 17 years (2024)

Understanding demography or the population composition of a municipality

is a critical factor in designing and formulating development plans. Studying the
demographic profile of Taytay helps the planners and the LGU to identify trends
and patterns that are useful in projecting the needs of the succeeding generations. It
becomes the basis for determining the level of demands for public services such as
schools, health centers, protective services, etc. Thus, it is only imperative to
determine how the human population is changing over time.
This chapter provides a backgrounder and general information on the

population composition and distribution of Taytay at a snapshot. Since the report is
just a snapshot of the demographic characteristic of Taytay, another important content
of this chapter is the projection of population. It provides the basis for social and
economic considerations for short and long-range planning. Looking ahead in terms
32
COM
of distribution and expansion of population is necessary in order to identify the

direction of the local planning.
SOCIAL SETTING
Taytay’s human resources are spread across the five barangays of the
municipality. By land area, the largest barangay is San Juan with 1,645 hectares
covering 42 percent of Taytay’s total area of 3,880 hectares. This is followed by
Dolores with 642.69 hectares comprising about 17 percent of the entire municipality.
The remaining 41 percent land area of Taytay, meanwhile, is divided among Sta. Ana,
San Isidro, and Muzon. As a first class municipality, all of Taytay’s barangays are
classified as urban, making it 100 percent highly urbanized (Table 15).

Sta. Ana Urban 810.03 20.90
Muzon Urban 351.74 9.06
TOTAL 3,880.00 100.00
Dolores is the poblacion barangay of the town, which is strategically located at

the northeastern portion of Taytay. It is bounded on the northeast by Municipality of
Antipolo, on the west and northwest by Barangay San Isidro, on the southeast portion
by Barangay Sta. Ana, and Barangay San Juan and Muzon on the south.
POPULATION AND GROWTH TRENDS
From the recorded population by the National Statistics Office (NSO) in 1980,
Taytay’s population has significantly augmented by almost 5 percent annually up to
1985. The growth, however, has gradually tapered off in 1985-1990 and in year 1994,
the rate went up again, by more than twice as much as it was recorded in 1990. In 2000,
the growth rate has increased by almost 1 percent and posted almost 6 percent growth
in five years. From 2000 to 2007, however, the annual growth rate has slightly
decreased by almost 3 percent, yielding a 3.9 percent increase annually continuing to
decline in 2010 upto 2015 with an annual growth rate of 3.3 and 1.9, respectively. If
33
COM
this rate prevails over time, the Taytay population would double in less than 20 years
(Table 16).

The growth of the human settlements and population in Taytay may be traced
significantly to the development activities that pull factor for in-migration in various
parts of the town. The census taken in 1995 has revealed that around 13 percent were
considered migrants from other provinces and municipalities in Rizal. There were even
natives from other countries that were recorded to have settled in the municipality
within five years before 1995. Moreover, according to the same censal data, the new
34
COM
settlers came mostly from the Visayan and Bicol regions. Their main origins were
Bicol, Cebu, and Iloilo to name a few.
This in-migration is also manifested in the mixed existence of mother tongue

in the area. In 1995, the lingua franca recorded in Taytay was Tagalog, Bicolano,
Waray, Cebuano and other dialects.
In terms of inhabitants, Taytay has an aggregate population of 319,104 in 2015

(see Table 17). From 1995 to 2010, the population in the municipality has almost
doubled.
The same trend is being seen at a provincial and even national level. In the
August 1, 2015 Census of Population and Housing, the total population of Rizal hit
2,884,227 persons. This was higher by 20% or 585,536 persons as compared to the
2007 count of 2,298,691 persons. The increase can be translated to an annual
population growth rate of 2.88 percent between the periods of 2007 to 2015. This is
relatively lower than the registered annual growth rate of Rizal during the period of
2000 to 2007 at 4.19 percent.
According to NSO, since 1903, the average growth rate peaked in 1975 (6.17
percent) and showed a three consecutive intercensal year downtrend from 1980 to
1995. In 2000, the average annual growth rate accelerated to 5.79 percent gradually
decreased to 4.19 in 2007 and 2.88 in 2015.
By 2015, the household size of Rizal rose to 652,605 in 2015. This is higher by
28% or 183,803 households that were registered in 2007. The average household size
was pegged at 4.4 in 2015 that is relatively lower than the 4.7 average that was
accounted in the censal data of 2007 and lower than the national average of five
persons.
Among the 13 municipalities and one city of Rizal Province, Antipolo city
marked the largest population distribution at 26.9 percent share in the provincial total
population (Table 17). This is followed by Rodriguez, Cainta, and Taytay with 12.8,
11.2 and 11.1 percent distribution, respectively. Meanwhile, the least populated place
in Rizal was the municipality of Jalajala (not in the table). It accounted for only 1.1
percent share in the total population of Rizal.

Population distribution and development of settlements across the five

barangays of Taytay generally correspond to the migration pattern induced by key
developments in some areas of the municipality and the consequent spillover and
movement of population within the various barangays and outside the area. All
barangays have dramatically increased their population and their population density
respectively from 2007 to 2015 (Table 18).

However, it can be noted that among all of them, Sta. Ana has exhibited to have
the highest population density despite of its agricultural land use and small area. This
is followed by Dolores (Pob.) with 95 persons per hectare, San Isidro, with 85, and
Muzon at 75 persons per hectare.
San Juan, meanwhile, has the least number of people per hectare at 62, even
though it has the highest land area among all of the barangays. It is also noteworthy to
highlight that Sta. Ana has yielded the highest annual population growth rate at 15
percent from 2007-2007 and 12 percent for years 2007-2010. Only Sta. Ana have
reached 10 and above annual growth rate from 2000 to 2007 and 2007-2010, the rest
has accounted for less than 10 percent increase during this period. San Juan and
Dolores, on the other hand, yielded zero while San Isidro yielded a negative 1 in terms
of population growth from 2007-2010 (Table 19) Meanwhile, from 2007-2010, it can
be noticed that all barangays except Sta. Ana has tapered down its growth rate. Even

In terms of distribution, San Juan remains to have the highest population by 31

percent in 2010. Although this is relatively lower in comparison with 34 percent in
2007, San Juan remains to have the highest percentage distribution across the years
from 2007 to 2015. It is followed by Sta. Ana with 27 percent, Dolores with 21 percent,
San Isidro, and Muzon with 12 and 9 percent, respectively. The percentage ranking can
be owed to the capacity of the land area to accommodate more settlers over time.
It can be seen through the density and the distribution that the other barangays
are becoming populated, catching up with the large barangays. This holds true
particularly in Sta. Ana, which has recorded 27 percent distribution over total
population jumping by more than 6 percent in 2015 from 2010. Perhaps, this can be
attributed to the urban expansion by the government from the poblacion towards the
other barangays. This includes conversion of large tracts of agricultural land to mixed-
use lands and other urbanization strategies employed in the municipality to attract
investors and augment its income. Also, the migration and resettlement from the
neighboring towns and provinces has played an important role in increasing the number
of inhabitants in the barangays of Taytay. The municipality has become the catchment
area for the overspills of Metro Manila and even other provinces and regions for the
past years.
38
COM
In general, the municipality still, has the capacity to accommodate more people
in the next few years. However, being the catchment area from overspills of Metro
Manila, the government should closely monitor the population growth of the town. By
the end of the planning year, the population of Taytay will increase 18.77 percent of its
population in 2015 with a 1.91 percent annual growth rate. The population, however,
will double after 35 years, that is, 2050. This means that in 35 years there would be
more demands for local and basic services, utilities and infrastructures for public
consumption.
Key Demographic Features
According to the NSO statistics in 2015, there are some 318,576 households
comprising the municipality of Taytay. A typical family is composed of four to five
members, which is the average for the country. The highest registered total population
is in Barangay San Juan with 103,343 persons, while the lowest, Muzon, has listed
26,523 persons. In between are Sta. Ana with 91,343, Dolores and San Isidro with
61,115 and 36,780 persons, respectively. Logically, the household size has been
significantly increasing as the population grows in the area.
In terms of density of the population per land area, the space available for a
number of settlers can be considered more than enough to accommodate population
expansion in the coming years. However, the continuous increase in population will
have to be watched out as the demands of the municipality will be different in the future
in terms of land use, and its basic necessities.
Age and Sex Composition
In 2015, the female composition of Taytay’s household population has reached

to 159,456 or 50 percent of the total household population. It has outnumbered the male
by only a percent with 159,120. It can be noted from the data below (Table 20)
that initially, there are more males born than female. However, as the male population
ages, the young male aged 0-19 totaling to 65,741, has a slightly larger population as
opposed to young females at the same age that posted 63,340.

These totals result to a sex ratio of 99. This signifies female predominance in
the population of Taytay. It can also be noted in the distribution that more males were
initially born than females. The sex ratio of children born in Taytay is at 104. A ratio
more than a hundred expresses male dominance in the population. This trend continues
up to age 19. Same goes for age group 20-24 wherein the sex ratio has yielded a ratio
of 100. The ratio goes up at age group of 35-39 (sex ratio: 103) and decreases again
upon reaching 40-44 years old. The largest age group identified was 5-9 that has
accounted for 10 percent of the total population of Taytay. This is followed by the age
groups of 15-19 and 20-24 that posted also a little over 10 and 9 percent of Taytay’s
entire population, respectively. The same observation was also noted for the male
population. The age group 5-9 has the highest posted population at 16,636 or 10 percent
of total number of male surveyed. This is followed by age groups 15-19, 10-14 and 20-
24, respectively. Meanwhile, the female population has almost the same concentration
of young age groups across the municipality. The largest group that has accounted for
almost 10 percent of the total female population is the age group 15-19.
This is followed by 5-9 and 20-44 age groups that have a combined population
of 31,288 or almost 20 percent of the total female in Taytay. These observations
indicate that Taytay’s population is indeed young with half of its population falling
under 24 years old as distributed by age group.
The least concentration of population in terms of age groups was recorded at

merely 1,326 for residents of Taytay who are 80 years old and over. This holds true for
both Male and Female population with 373 and 953 residents of Taytay that fell under
the same bracket age. The sex ratio for the group of elders from 65 years onwards
continues to increase with age. Come age of 80, the male were totally outnumbered by
female as twice with a ratio of 39. The population pyramid for the 2015 census is
presented in the following figure.

Using the 2010 to 2015 AAGR of 1.91 percent and an average household size
of 4.3, it is estimated that the population of Taytay at the end of the planning period
in 2026 shall be 392,860 with 91,051 households. It is estimated that the city will
double its 2015 population after 35 years (2050).

is followed by Muzon and Dolores posting almost 23 and 22 percent, respectively.
Meanwhile, Barangay Sta. Ana has the lowest number accounted with mere 694 or 16 percent

of the identified poor by the locals. These were mainly the informal settlers that have
been identified by the LGU in 2007.
The survey was conducted to prepare the records of the residents and establish
the necessary documents to National Housing Authority (NHA) for final verification
of credentials leading to permanent awarding of lots to the residents. Also, the survey
aims to validate the needs of the target beneficiaries within the area and for
identification of suitable programs and services to be provided by the government.
At present, the LGU of Taytay has, with the UPAO leading the initiative,
undertaken several projects to address the problem of informal settling. Among the
projects that were implemented by the administration are listed below:

INFRASTRUCTURE/UTILITIES/FACILITIES
Studying the existing infrastructure sector is an important segment of planning.

The infrastructure sector also forms its bases of planning from the various development
projects and plans of the local government, provincial and national government and
other agencies. In the processes of formulating the infrastructure and utilities plans, the
planners are also guided by the plans and strategies of other sectors to form a
comprehensive and complementary land use plan for the municipality.
In this report, facts on infrastructure are presented in the following order: 1.

Road Networks, Bridges and Transport Facilities; 2. Bridges; 3. Irrigation Systems; 4.
Flood Control and Drainage Facilities; 5. Domestic Water Supply; 6. Electric Power
Supply; 7. Communication Facilities; and 8. Waste Disposal Systems.

COM
The development needs will be discussed after each subsector. The

requirements, goals and objectives, and programs and projects for the infrastructure
sector will be enumerated at the end of this chapter.
ROAD AND TRANSPORT NETWORK
Transportation systems consist of different elements: vehicles, the physical

links (like roads and bridges, bikeways, and railways) and the terminal areas (bus and
other public transport terminals, ports, airports) are all interrelated. The physical links
like the road networks connect the different land uses in the municipality and becomes
a vital component in facilitating commerce to and through an area.
ROADS
The present road network in the Municipality of Taytay is composed of

national, provincial, municipal and barangay administered networks. Taytay’s existing
road network has a total length of 133.302 kilometers (kms.) as of 2010.1 Of the total
length of road in the municipality, 3.240 kms. or 2.431 percent of the total road network
are national roads; 9.150 kms. or 6.864 percent of the total are provincial roads; 28.242
kms or 21.2 percent of the total are municipal roads; and 92.670 or 69.5 percent of the
total are barangay roads. (Table 73)
The barangay roads constitute more than half of the road networks because
most of these are within residential zones. Only one national road, the Rizal Avenue,
exists in the municipality.
1
Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO) data from 1994 shows total
road length is at 139.666 kilometers
The Rizal Avenue, which connects to the Bonifacio Avenue in Cainta

Municipality, serves as one of the main access roads from Metro Manila. This road
traverses through the entire municipality of Taytay and links to the ML Quezon Avenue
in the Municipality of Angono. The Manila East Road, which is a relatively newer and
wider road, serves as another road link to Metro Manila. It connects to the Ortigas
Avenue Extension and links to the Rizal Avenue in the Central Business District of
Taytay.

The 2010 municipal data (Table 74) shows that only 0.3 percent or less than
half a kilometer of the total road in Taytay remain unpaved and still used gravel as
materials. A quarter or 26.288 percent of these roads are reportedly made up of concrete
materials, while the remaining 73.412 percent used other paving materials. The report
from the MPDO does not identify what materials were used with the remaining 73.412
percent of roads.
Due to the lack of data on the type of pavement of the existing roads, it cannot
be verified if there is an improvement in the pavement conditions of the roads. The
1994 data however shows that 85.73 percent of the roads were of concrete material,
1.74 percent were made up of asphalt, 4.50 percent were of gravel and 8.03 percent
were still unpaved or made up of dirt/earth materials.2 However, it was stated in the
previous CLUP that the “concreting of the existing (dirt) roads are undertaken on a
continuing basis with the objective that all roads in the town are eventually cement-
paved.”3

A look at the existing road conditions vis-à-vis the terrain type and Average
Daily Traffic (ADT) for each barangay explains the state of these road pavements. This
may form a basis for the priority maintenance projects of the municipality. The rating
of the average surfing conditions ranges from Poor, to Fair and to Good. Roads with a
rating of Poor must be a priority rehabilitation project. The terrain on which these roads
are may be categorized as Hilly, Undulating, Steep or Flat.
The ADT may be Light, Medium or Heavy. The rating given to road importance
depends on the frequency of use of these roads, using a scale of 1 to 3, 1 being least
frequently used and 3 as most frequently used. Roads with regular heavy traffic in
relation to its road importance rating must be studied for the local traffic management
to address.
Barangay Dolores has varying ratings for surface conditions. One municipal
road that is located on an undulating terrain has a poor rating even though traffic is
reportedly light. This may be due to the frequency of use. A provincial road located on
a hilly terrain has good surface conditions while it is most frequently used. (Table 75)

Barangay San Juan registers all road surface conditions as good. Traffic along
the many thoroughfares in this barangay experiences medium to heavy traffic. This
may also be due to the frequency of use having 7 of its municipal roads frequently used,
and a provincial and national road registering a 3 on the scale of road importance. The
rest report light traffic, usually those least frequently used. (Table 76).

C-6 Circumferential Road. A presentation by Filipinas Dravo Corporation

describes the Circumferential Road 6 (C-6): (Figure 18)
The proposed alignment for MMT C-6 will start from the proposed Manila
South Skyway (MSS) at the vicinity of the Bicutan Interchange, will run eastward by
viaduct over the existing Gen. Santos Avenue towards Laguna de Bay. On the lake
shore, the line, on earth embankment, will veer north following the shoreline, then
northeast passing through Taguig, where it will move inland at-grade in a northeasterly
course towards Taytay, then northward through Antipolo and San Mateo. Thereafter,
the line will shift in a northwesterly direction, then westward through Quezon City,
Caloocan City and will end at the MNE in Meycauayan.
Since 2000, the construction of the C-6 Circumferential Road has been seen by
the municipality as a catalyst for development in Taytay. It will link the northern
province of Bulacan to the southern province of Laguna, passing through Taytay and
opening more opportunities for development in the municipality.

Public Terminal
The municipality of Taytay has allocated an area for a new public transportation
terminal. It is proposed to be located adjacent to the public market. Its location is very
ideal since it is at the center of the new business district of Taytay, bounded by the
Manila East Road. (Figure 23).
62
COM
Other Modes of Transportation
Taytay does not have a seaport or airport. However, plans are underway to build
an international airport in the Taguig Mega City Project which is adjacent to the
proposed lakeshore development in Taytay. With these projects in the pipeline, more
roads leading to these new areas of development will be built and thus creating new
routes for public transportation.

Development Needs
New Road Requirement
With the fast paced urbanization growth of the municipality, it is deemed

necessary to study the road requirements of Taytay. Using the population of Taytay as
basis vis-à-vis the ratio of population to the length of roads5, the current urban road
requirement of Taytay is derived. (See Endnotes for results) 6.
Since the formula is based on the population of the municipality, the results of
the calculations are unreasonable for the amount of land available. It has solely relied
on the population and has neglected to take into account the land area of Taytay. Based
63
COM
on the data provided for by the MPDO, Taytay currently only has 3,880 hectares of
land area. The above mentioned derived results may be unrealistic and uneconomical.
However, these calculations are still based on important considerations.

Thus, in order to find the more realistic requirements for the roads, the number
of households is used instead of population. For Table 12, the number of households is
at 79,776. With this the derived current urban road requirement is only at 1.2252
kilometers. Table 13 on the other hand shows the total road length required of roads
for the year 2026. With the number of households increasing to 96,357 in 2026 the
projected road requirement jumps to 92.172 kilometers.
These total number of roads required do not include the roads that are to be
built in the future Lakeshore Development.
More roads are needed to be constructed to link the national roads to the
existing secondary roads. These will help ease the build-up of traffic. Moreover, the
new roads are in anticipation of the municipality’s development plans which may
require supplementary road links. (Figure 8: Development Needs: Roads and Bridges).
Roads for Rehabilitation
However, while not all these roads may be completed soon, it is important to
look at alternative ways to improve the road network systems. Many of the road
network systems in the municipality were first built in the early 1900s at a time when
Rizal Province has been declared an independent province separate from the province
of Manila. Taytay, which was founded in 1903, became the gateway to this newly
formed province. Its strategic location forced the construction of these roads, thereby
creating commerce along these network systems.
65
COM
Many of these roads, however, were built at a time when vehicles were not yet
used in huge numbers. The roads were designed to cater a few cars and pedestrian
traffic. In addition, the drainage systems along these roads were probably non-existent
at that time or have been built with open drainage design, as seen with the current
situation.
At present, the design of the roads and networks especially those built during
the first half of the 20th century is no longer efficient with the current traffic situation.
The roads in these areas need to be widened and rehabilitated. A road widening project,
however, would mean buying the right of way (ROW) of those affected areas, thus a
detailed study is required to carefully examine the feasibility of this proposed project.
Based on the data of road conditions presented in Tables 75, 76, 77, 78 and 79,
it is already easier to pinpoint which among the roads in the municipality are priority
projects for rehabilitation. The roads with poor surface conditions require immediate
attention, as well as those roads that only rated fairly.
Note: Additionally, the construction of proper drainage network systems should be

designed to coincide with this project especially since flooding is the most damaging
natural occurrence plaguing the municipality.
Traffic Management
Areas identified as experiencing heavy traffic on a regular basis require

attention from the local traffic management committee. The responsibility to manage
traffic, administer rerouting schemes, manage accidents and other traffic related
activities may be devolved to the barangays with the assistance of an LGU
representative.
The Taytay LGU will provide adequate road signages to maintain accident-free
road networks. Taytay currently has two pedestrian bridges and a number of waiting
sheds. With the proposed construction of new roads, additional pedestrian bridges and
waiting sheds may be incorporated in the design and construction of these roads.
66
COM
Figure 24. Development Needs Map: Roads and Bridges
New Bridges
At present, there are no additional bridge projects proposed by the local

government in any areas of Taytay. But with the planned lakeshore development, it is
imperative to build a major bridge that shall link the commercial development to
Taytay. This bridge, which still requires a feasibility study, should be able to hold off
traffic from C-6 as well. (Figure 24: Development Needs: Roads and Bridges)
Further studies must be made to see if there is a need to build an additional

major bridge similar to the Barkadahan Bridge to connect Taytay directly with
Cainta. This way, vehicular traffic in areas traditionally used by commuters may be
diverted
Improvement of Transportation Facilities
The allocation for a public terminal is a first step in organizing and managing
the different modes of transportation that ply Taytay. The next phase is to build a
terminal building for these vehicles. In order to become sustainable, the terminal may
also be an income generating facility for the local government, with portions of the
building allocated for various commercial shops or institutional centers.
67
COM
In addition to this terminal, vehicle stops, waiting sheds and other

transportation infrastructure are proposed to be constructed in proper and well-studied
locations. Since the proposed location of the public terminal is along the Manila East
Road, there is a probability of traffic congestion. The existing routes of the various
modes of transportation need to be restudied in order to decongest traffic along some
major road networks. With the planned lakeshore development in Taytay and the Mega
City Project in Taguig City, it is expected to have additional routes to cover those areas,
thus, the further need to examine transportation routes.
IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
A small percentage of the total land use of Taytay is allocated for agricultural
purposes. With farms mostly consisting of rice, corn and seasonal crops, the irrigation
systems in this area are mostly formed by pumps. (Table 86) There are two types of
irrigation facilities in Taytay. The National Irrigation Administration (NIA)
constructed a gravitational irrigation system aimed to irrigate 22 hectares. However,
only half of the target area benefit from this facility.
The other type of irrigation is an irrigation pump constructed by private

individuals. There are at least 35 private irrigation pumps available in the municipality
that serve approximately 162.3 hectares although only half of the area benefit from this
system.
However, 2006 data gathered from the provincial office report that there are
171 pumps for the entire Taytay. These pumps serve 218 hectares. (Table 86) But of
the 218, only 210 require irrigation since the permanent crops do not require irrigation.
Rice farms are the major agricultural land use in Taytay with a total land area of 185
hectares. About 171 hectares are irrigated while 14 hectares depend on rainfall for
irrigation.
Corn on the other hand covers 14 hectares while crops cover only 11 hectares. There
is no available data to verify if these lands are irrigated by pumps or are rainfed during
the rainy season, 80 to 100 hectares of farmlands are irrigated by the Taytay River.
Around 60 farmers benefit from this irrigation source. During the dry season, 187
hectares are irrigated by the lake where 10 farmers benefit from.7
There are no irrigation pumping stations in Taytay, but these agricultural lands
use irrigation pumps that are fueled with diesel. One pump can irrigate 10 hectares.
With an area of 210 hectares, only 21 pumps are required and the 171 existing pumps
are more than enough to serve the limited agricultural area.

4. Communal irrigation cistern
There is no immediate need to purchase additional irrigation pumps. Of the 171

existing pumps, it is sufficient to irrigate the farmlands by more than 149 pumps. In
addition, the allotted land area for the proposed new land use is only 70.87 hectares
which shall only require 8 irrigation pumps for the entire area. However, an interview
with the Municipal Agriculturist suggested acquiring 25 more pumps.8

It is the responsibility of Taytay’s LGU to assess the conditions of these 171

pumps in order to see if all the pumps are still working or not, and to assess whether
new pumps are needed for maintenance or for purchase. As of now, the farmers’
association and the provincial government and with the help of the regional office of
the Department of Agriculture provide the funds for the purchase of additional pumps.
Most of the projects of the LGU for the agricultural sector will be focused on
the rehabilitation of the existing gravitational irrigation system like maintenance work
for irrigation canals and small dams. Work should also focus on assessing the condition
of the system and making sure all areas are served by this system.
Since water is not scarce in the municipality, rainwater or water from the floodway
may be used instead by the construction of a communal cistern. This is most useful
during the dry season.
FLOOD CONTROL AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES
Flood Control
Many areas in the Municipality of Taytay are prone to flooding due to its
elevation and its location. Many areas in the low-lying and flat areas and the coastal
areas of Laguna de Bay and the Manggahan Floodway are most susceptible to seasonal
flooding. The local government has already identified areas in the municipality prone
to flooding as enumerated in Table 88.

One of the main causes of flooding in these areas is the clogged drainage
systems. At present, most of the drainage network systems in the municipality consist
mainly of open creeks and open canals that require constant dredging. (Figure 25).
71
COM
Figure 25. Open Canal Drainage System Around the Built Up Areas
Reports indicate that in many areas mentioned above, the flood water levels can
reach up to more than a meter high. The Local Government, having known these
frequent occurrences for years, have already started efforts in mitigating these floods.
One was to actively promote an information drive on the proper disposal of waste in
order to reduce the clogging of the drainage systems. There is also an initiative to bring
about an “inter-municipal effort in developing a permanent solution to the inundation
problem”9 involving all sectors. Though plans were mentioned in the municipality’s
previous CLUP, there are no records to show that these have been commenced or
implemented.
72
COM
Figure 26. Manggahan Floodw
The Manggahan Floodway
Located between barangays Sta. Ana and San Juan in Taytay, is the Manggahan
Floodway. (Figure 26) It is a 10-kilometer artificial waterway constructed in 1986 to
divert the volume of water that passes through the Marikina River and reducing the
floods in Pasig River during the rainy season. The water that flows through Manggahan
Floodway goes directly to Laguna Lake.10
An important observation is said on the impacts of the construction of this

floodway. As stated “By carrying flood waters to Laguna de Bay, the Manggahan
Floodway lessens flood conditions in Metro Manila but contributes to flooding of the
coastal areas of Taguig, Taytay, and other towns in Laguna and Rizal along the lake.
Incidents of severe floods became more frequent and lasted longer in these areas since
its construction. An unusual large flood occurred in October/November 1986, lasting
for 2 months and resulting in high mortality and morbidity rates…”11 This floodway
became the biggest contributor of flood along the coastal towns of Laguna Lake.
73
COM
Figure 27. Informal Settlements on Lupang Arenda
This situation is further aggravated by the pollution and deposits carried by the
floodway into the Laguna Lake, which in turn became a heavily sedimented area. Over
time, these sediments became a reclaimed area where informal settlers built their
houses. (Figure 27) In addition, informal settlers encroached on the floodway
easements, with slums as deep as 5 rows12, obstructing the waterway. Another major
factor in contributing to the clogging of the free flow of floodwater are the solid wastes
that come from these informal settlements. (Figure 28).

The Road Dike Project
A 2.9 billion-peso loan was granted by the Japan Bank for International
Cooperation (JBIC) for the Road Dike Project that is planned to be constructed along
the coastal barangays of Laguna Lake. Together with the cities of Taguig, Pasig and
Pateros in Metro Manila, the town of Taytay is among the towns that will benefit from
this 9.8-kilometer road dike. 13
“The road dike project was conceived by the government in the 1980's, along
with the other so-called flood control infrastructures in the Laguna Lake, like the
Napindan Hydraulic Control and the Manggahan Floodway. The Napindan project was
built in 1983. It reclaimed a big portion of the river and gates were constructed
regulating the natural flow of water to and from the Laguna Lake and the Manila Bay.
The effect was flooding in the towns of Taguig and Taytay and other towns in Laguna
and Rizal. It also hampered the flow of salt water from the Manila Bay, which is
important to the Lake ecology. The Manggahan Floodway, built in 1986, is a 10-
kilometer artificial river which diverted the floodwater coming from the Marikina
valley to the Laguna Lake. This floodway became the biggest contributor of floodwater
to Laguna Lake. Incidents of big floods became more frequent and lasted longer in the
coastal towns of the Lake.”14
Originally planned for a 100-kilometer dike around the lake, the project was
reduced to a 9.8 kilometer road for the first phase, in order to augment the frequent
flooding of the coastal areas. A plan to build a Paranaque Spillway is set simultaneously
with this plan, although that plan was never implemented which causes more flooding
because water is prevented to overflow into Manila Bay.
Proposed Flood Mitigation Plan
With the onslaught of Typhoon Ondoy in 2009, the Department of Public

Works and Highways initiated the Flood Mitigation Plan for the Pasig-Marikina-
Laguna Lake Basin which covers the municipality of Taytay. The Laguna Lake
experienced a 0.94 meter increase in water level as the normal elevation of 12.9 meters
rose to 13.84 meters in just a matter of 24 hours. 16 This abrupt increase in elevation
brought about one of the worst floods in the municipalities surrounding the lake. This
prompted the government to put in place infrastructure projects to mitigate the flood.
Some of these plans have already undergone feasibility studies. But for this report, only
those that have a direct impact to Taytay will be mentioned.
75
COM
1. The Construction of the Marikina Dam. This dam is planned to be built in the
municipality of Montalban, Rizal. It will cover an area of 200 hectares with a
reservoir capacity of 100 million cubic meters. The dam is planned to hold off rain
water coming from the Sierra Madre Range.
2. Land Use Zoning and Upper Marikina Floodplain Management
3. Construction of Stages II and III of the Pasig-Marikina River Channel

Improvement Project (PMRCIP) (Figure 29)
4. The Laguna Lakeshore Ring Road Dike. This project consists of a lakeshore ring
road dike, pumping stations, floodgates and drainage facilities. The 4-lane road
dikes will run around the shores of the entire lake and will cover a total length of
99.10 kilometers, and will be connected by 11 bridges. 17 (Figure 30) A portion of
this road dike has already been constructed.
5. These dikes and pumping stations will alleviate the flooding problems within the
25 towns, including the municipality of Taytay, aside from doubling as an alternate
transportation route for the affected areas.
The East Manggahan Floodway Project
The East Mangahan18 Floodway Project by the Department of Public Works

and Highways (DPWH) is focused on the four rivers that connect to the Manggahan
Floodway: Buli River, Cainta River, Taytay River, and Bongad River; and the low-
lying plains along the Manggahan floodway. Figure 15 explains the stages of
construction and implementation of this project. One floodgate is proposed to be
constructed in Taytay. 19 Part of this floodway project is also the construction of a
lakeshore dike, improvement of rivers, creeks and drainage channels, construction of
diversion channels, construction and rehabilitation of road bridges and the resettlement
of illegal settlers. 20

Development Needs
The history of Taytay indicates the prevalence of flooding in the municipality

and the other nearby towns. It is not surprising that the national government has placed
plans to solve this perennial problem. Multi-billion projects have been initiated since
the 1970s. One of which is the Manggahan Floodway. This project, however, has
caused more flooding problems for Taytay and the surrounding towns. It did not serve
its purpose. Other projects were later on added to resolve the floods. No major project
since then has been built to finally put an end to the floods.
A lot of projects are on the feasibility and planning stages. Many are also put
on hold or are completely abandoned for various reasons. However, with the most
recent major flooding event caused by Ondoy last 2009, it is clear that flood mitigation
projects should be prioritized by the government, from the national level down to the
local levels. Thus, the local government of Taytay with the support of its constituents
and the cooperation of the other municipalities encourages the prioritization of the
flood mitigation projects. A call to implement the projects that are postponed will be
initiated by Taytay through inter-municipal and intercity efforts.
At this point, the local government of Taytay can only do so much for the
flooding problems. With its limited finances, the funds are only sufficient for
maintenance and annual dredging projects. Hence, the LGU of Taytay will promote the
public-private partnerships in its endeavors to build a more substantive funding base
and a continuous cooperation and support for its infrastructure projects including
projects to alleviate floods. One of the most immediate projects needed are the
construction of pump stations on all major waterways leading to the Manggahan
Floodway in addition to the rehabilitation projects of all existing drainage systems.
Flooding in Taytay is also caused by the informal settlers that reside along the
floodway’s banks and creek easements. These settlers live in danger areas and have to
be resettled. Educational campaigns should be implemented in all barangays to educate
proper waste disposal to prevent clogging of the drainage ways. The cleaning and
rehabilitation of the floodway and creeks is a foremost infrastructure project.

Figure 32. Flood Mitigation Development Needs
WATER SUPPLY
Providing access to safe water to the population is one of the most important
responsibilities of the local government. Sources of water supply may be categorized
in three levels: Level I or Point Source System is usually either a shallow or deep well
or a protected spring; Level II or Communal Faucet System is usually found in the rural
areas where the houses are grouped together and the outlet serves at least 200
households; and Level III or Individual House Connections is theoretically the same as
Level II except that the sources of water go individually to each household.
In the municipality of Taytay, households still access water supply through all
three levels. Data from 1994 show that there is still about 10 percent of the total
households
that obtain water from Level I category or though shallow or deep wells. Same data
shows that more than a quarter of the households or 25.64 percent access water through
Level II and about 41.95 percent obtain their supply of water through Level III
category. Level III systems in Taytay are provided for by the Manila Waterworks and
Sewerage System or MWSS. 22
NSO dissects the sources of water for drinking and cooking in their 2000 report.
Table 89 shows that more than 18 percent of the Taytay household population buy
their water from peddlers. Some 14.68 percent get their sources of water from shared
water systems and 12.03 percent get their water from shallow wells. Only 10.99 percent
of the total Taytay household population have their own individual connections. 23
80
COM
NSO 2000 Annual Report states the water source for laundry and/or bathing in
Taytay. Table 90 shows that many households in Taytay, constituting about 18.60
percent also buy water from peddlers for their laundry or bathing needs. Around 15.85
percent get water supply from a shared water system. Only 11.14 percent have their
own direct connections to water supply. There are no updated data on the water delivery
systems in Taytay, but interviews with the MPDO indicate that there are no significant
changes in the supply system of water in the municipality. Moreover, the supply is
inadequate to serve the growing population of the municipality.
Data on Table 91 however indicates the total household (HH) population

served with water per barangay in year 2010 but this does not show the percentage of
households that has no water service. The table also shows the number of connections
last 2009 although it did not identify and differentiate the type of connections per
barangay.
On the other hand, Table 92 shows the number of households connected with
Manila Water. Barangay San Juan has 15,621 households connected to the service
provider or about 44 percent of the total households connected to Manila Water, while
Barangay Muzon has the least number of households connected to Manila Water with
only 344 households or 0.969 percent of total.
Compared to Table 91, Manila Water reports that there are 35,471 total
households connected to them, while Taytay MPDO reports that only 22,094
households have connections to a water service provider as of 2010. The 2010 NSO
website data indicates that as of 2007, there are already 56,053 households in Taytay,
and is projected to reach 63,27725 households by 2010.
Therefore, using Manila Water’s data, out of the projected 63,277 households,
only 35,471 or 56% of the total household population has access to water by Manila
Water and 44% have none.
Using MPDO’s data, there is approximately 35% with access to water, and 65% have
none.

There have been projects proposed before to alleviate the water supply problem in the
municipality.
1.The Rizal Province Water Supply Improvement Project
“This project is aimed to improve and construct waterworks systems in 9

municipalities of Rizal such as Angono, Baras, Cardona, Jala-jala, Morong, Pililia
Tanay, Taytay, and Teresa by utilizing the groundwater and Laguna de Bay sources.
This project was mandated in 1998 by Batas Pambansa 799 directing MWSS to hasten
integration of waterworks in the 9 municipalities into its service area under a French
Government aid.”26 Source of water will either be groundwater or treated water from
Laguna Lake. This project, however, has not served the municipality of Taytay yet.’
Water Supply Infrastructure Development Projects
Construction of Water Treatment Plants

Construction of water supply pipe network systems
Development Needs
There is an abundant source of water in Taytay due to its adjacency to the

Laguna Lake. However, it is clear from the statistics presented here that there are still
households that do not receive clean and safe water. It is every local government’s
responsibility to provide adequate water to all its constituents. But in Taytay’s case,
water is a scarce resource.
Thus, projects to supply water at every household and establishment in Taytay

will be one of the priority projects of the LGU. It is proposed that water treatment
plants (WTP) will be built, in partnership with the private sector. (Figure 17:
Development Needs: Water Treatment Plant) This multi-million peso project is
planned to be located in two locations around the municipality. One such location is in
Barangay San Juan, which has the advantage of proximity to the lakewater. In addition,
this location is most favorable for the projected population that will occupy the
lakeshore development project in the future.
The second proposed water treatment plant is planned to be located in Barangay

Dolores. Since this barangay has a naturally high elevation and topography, it is
envisioned to serve as a water treatment plant for rainwater. For both proposed waste
water projects, the Putatan waste water plant in Muntinlupa City is used as a model.
“The (Putatan) facility is expected to produce 100 million litres of water per day
(MLD). The plant will be capable of producing 50MLD from July and 50MLD more by
September 2010. The plant supplies potable water to 4,585 households. At full capacity
86
COM
it will serve around 105,000 households…”27 The projected household population of

Taytay in 2020 is 94,458. Therefore one plant is enough to serve the entire population
in a period of 10 years.
Water drawn from the Laguna after the processes will be fit for drinking since
it uses the advanced process of microfiltration and reverse osmosis to purify the water.
The investment cost based on the Putatan plant costs however is estimated at US$27
million, thus, further and more detailed studies are required on how to construct the
plants in phases in order to break the cost in segments. But in the long run, the plants
will greatly benefit the municipality since it will provide safe and drinking water that
passes the standards of the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water
(PNSDW) and the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS). In
addition, and in order to complement the water treatment plant project, new water pipe
network systems need to be put up in place all around the municipality.

ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY
Taytay is served by Manila Electric Company (MERALCO). In 1994, 93.53

percent of all the households in the municipality are sufficiently served by power while
only 7 percent have yet to be connected. Data from NSO (Table 93) reports that in
2000, 39,712 households or 93.18 percent use electricity for lighting. However, there
are still households that use fuel such as kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), oil
and others to produce light. 29

On the other hand, data from NSO (Table 94) reports that in 2000, 1,193
households or only 2.80 percent use electricity for cooking. This is because 30,791
households use LPG for cooking. The rest of the household population use traditional
means like kerosene, charcoal, wood and others. The 2010 household population of
Taytay is 63,227. Based on this statistics, only 62.76% have electricity and about
37.24% remain unserved.
The Taytay Power Substation
The municipality of Taytay is host to one substation by the National Grid

Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in Barangay Dolores. It is one of the four (4)
substations that form part of the “230 kV ring that surrounds the Laguna Lake.” It is
one of the two (2) main load sectors within Metro Manila. Together with the
Muntinlupa and Las Piñas substations, the Taytay 230 kV substation belongs to Sector
2. However, once Meralco’s Paco 230 kV substation is completed in 2011.
Taytay will be regrouped with Doña Imelda to Sector 2, while Muntinlupa and
Las Piñas substations will be grouped to Sector 3. The major supply line for Taytay
comes from the newly completed San Jose 500kV substation. 31 (The San Jose
substation is recently rehabilitated with the replacement of the existing 500/230kV
transformer last September 2010. The replacement units are aimed to increase the
capacity of the San Jose substation from 2400 MVA to 3000 MVA) 32
The Taytay substation is serving the growing demand of Metro Manila. By year
2012, the substation, which is at 4-300 MVA capacity will be overloaded already. 33
But that is not the only problem NGCP is facing. Providing power is a challenge due
tospace limitations and right of way acquisitions for the substations and transmission
line due to high land values. 34
The New Antipolo 230 kV Substation
A new substation will be built in Antipolo and will connect to the existing San
Jose-Taytay 230 kV line in order to augment the increase in load demand in Metro
Manila. Since the Doña Imelda and Taytay substation of Sector 2 have expansion
limitations, developing the Antipolo substation is essential. The plan is to initially build
a 230kV substation with a 2-300 MVA capacity. This project is one among the projects
of NGCP, which is purposely “to increase the supply capability of the 500 kV backbone
and to improve the reliability of supply to the load center.

Electric Power Infrastructure Development Projects
1. Construction of power supply installations

2. Investment on green energy technology
Development Needs
The foremost target of the Taytay LGU is to ensure that all households and
establishments be provided with adequate power supply. Providing electricity in
Taytay will not be a problem since the municipality is host to one substation.
However, the substation in Taytay is a critical installation since it is one of the
major providers of electricity in Metro Manila. The pending new Antipolo
substation will only relieve the Taytay substation with overloading from the
demand in the metro but the latter has expansion constraints.
One project of the local government in cooperation with NGCP and

MERALCO is to tap on the available resources. The San Jose substation that
delivers power to the Taytay substation can provide additional electricity to the
municipality. But since the substation supplies power to large parts of Metro
Manila and is already on its threshold, alternative and more sustainable sources of
energy (such as solar power) may be introduced to the municipality either by
government initiated projects or by private companies with the imminent 200
hectare lakeshore development and the new central business district in Taytay, it
is paramount to have new transmission lines for these areas. In order to provide
adequate power to the current and the increasing number of population of the
municipality, the LGU of Taytay must locate areas for new transmission lines and
substations.
COMMUNICATION FACILITIES
Communication is not a problem in the municipality of Taytay. The

municipality is easily accessible through Philippine Long Distance Company or
(PLDT) or through Digital. The number of telephones in the town is more than the
minimum of 1 telephone per 1000 population in the residential areas, and more
than the minimum of 1 telephone per 1500 population in the industrial areas all
mobile networks function in the municipality, having cell sites conveniently
located on many parts of the municipality. The municipality runs “a telegraph
services unit which issues an average of 116 transmissions and 5,483 telegrams of
all kinds per month” 37
Taytay is easily reached by all major radio, television and printed

communications. However, for cable television providers, only the Telmarc cable
and Dream provide cable networks in the municipality.
90
COM
Communication Infrastructure Development Projects
1. Increase in mobile coverage

2. Increase in internet capabilities
Development Needs
The municipality of Taytay, being in close proximity to Metro Manila do

not lack in communication facilities. But with the unstoppable urbanization and
the forthcoming lakeshore development, it is encouraged to increase the coverage
of mobile networks in the area. In addition, technology has taken over many
communication systems, thus it is encouraged to invite more internet providers in
the municipality.
WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM
The municipality of Taytay used to have its own open dumpsite that is located
close to the Laguna Lake. In compliance with the Republic Act No. 9003 or the
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, the dumpsite stopped its operations.
The municipality’s wastes are now sent off to other municipalities with sanitary
landfills in the Rizal Province. The former open dumpsite is where a sports complex,
a convention center, a memorial park and a transfer station is planned to be built. These
will be funded by the provincial government. 38 The area, although already visibly free
from any garbage, still has stench. With its very close proximity to the lake, there are
also problems with flooding.
The Province of Rizal has four (4) sanitary landfills sites with an approximate
total capacity of 5,000 tons per day (tpd). (Table 95) The province also has other
waste disposal facilities situated at various locations: 3 open dumpsites, 2 proposed
sanitary landfills, and 3 controlled disposal facilities. (Table 96) In Taytay, there are
only three materials recovery facilities (MRF).
The capacities of each of these waste disposal facilities and MRFs are not
mentioned in the report by NSWMC. (Table 97) Because of the lack of MRFs in
Taytay, establishing more will be another priority project by the barangays and the
LGU.

Based on the 2007 Annual Report, the old municipal dumpsite can
accommodate an average of 10,500 cubic meter of solid waste or about 2,100 trucks
per month from all five barangays. But of this capacity, only 60-70 percent of the total
waste were collected and treated.39
392007 Annual Report
The MPDO of Taytay has no updated data on the amount of waste that the
municipality collectively produces. However, the National Solid Waste Management
Commission reports that of the 583.894 tons per day (tpd) that the province produces,
the municipality of Taytay contributes 10 percent or some 59.45 tpd of waste. (Table
98) It also has a 0.3 percent waste generation rate which is the average rate in Rizal. 40
Table 99 explains the usual manner of garbage disposal in Taytay. Of the total
households, 77.60 percent are picked up by trucks for transfer to dumpsites. Around
7,144 or 16.76 percent of the households burn their wastes while 1,783 or 4.18 percent
of the households dump their garbage in individual pits. The remaining households
dispose of their wastes through various manners though the commonly used are
composting, burying and feeding to animals.41
The same 2007 annual report describes the public forum held in educating the
public on the importance of ecological waste management in the implementation of
RA 9003. With this forum, called Ekolohiyang Pang-Joric and Talakayang Hinggil sa
Kapaligiran, the local government was able to successfully reduce the solid waste
collection with the implementation of 3R’s (ReduceReuse, Recycle). As reported, 80
percent of solid wastes were recovered for recycle.

COM
Waste Disposal Infrastructure Projects
1. Construction of Materials Recovery Facilities

2. Rehabilitation and expansion of the existing MRFs
3. Conduct of Information-Education-Campaign on Zero Waste Management
Development Needs
Based on the report by the National Solid Waste Management Commission

(NSWMC), on the amount of waste generated by Taytay per month, it can be derived
that approximately 15,000 cubic meters (cum) of waste are not disposed of. The
remaining wastes are disposed of through various means, thus the LGU needs to find
a way to properly dispose of these wastes.
It is reported that the entire municipality only has three (3) materials recovery
facilities (MRFs), the construction of new MRFs will be the main project of the LGU
of Taytay. MRFs are important facilities since based on a study about 30% of wastes
are diverted. 43
There is no data to indicate the amount of waste generated by each barangay,
and no data on the capacity of the existing MRFs. Thus to compute for the additional
MRFs, the population is used, and assumptions are made to denote the capacity of each
proposed facility. Based on the data provided for by a study, each individual in the
urban setting produces an approximate 0.5 kg of solid waste perday. 44 The current
population of Taytay is at 262,485, thus the municipality produces 131,243 kg of
wastes per day. This amount is converted as 131.243 tons per day. NSWMC data shows
that the 59.45 tpd of waste is produced by Taytay, thus a difference of 71.79 tons.
The existing MRFs are individually assumed capable of holding 30 tpds. With
three (3) existing MRFs, only about 42 tpds remain not disposed of. With this, one (1)
MRF is initially needed that can hold the remaining tpds. However, with the growing
urban population of Taytay, projected to reach 442,330 by the end of 2020, the waste
to be generated is expected to increase to 221.165 tons per day. By year 2020, eight
(8) MRFs with a minimum individual capacity of 30 tpds are required.
Each new MRF is estimated to have a cost ranging from 1.5 to 3 million pesos,
excluding the equipments. Thus it is important for the LGU to acquire the support of
funding agencies and tap private institutions to financially support these projects.
Because of the high cost of building an MRF and the financial inadequacy of the LGU
to immediately provide for a new MRF, it will be the LGU’s urgent priority to expand,
rehabilitate and provide new equipment to the existing MRFs. Also, the high cost of
land will limit the construction of new MRFs.
94
COM
In order to maximize the efficiency of the MRF to be built, it is recommended

to have the facility constructed at a strategic location, preferably closest to sources of
waste generators. Sources of wastes are high in public markets, the central business
districts and slaughterhouses.45 However, data shows that households are the highest
generators of waste as in the case of Taytay. Thus, the MRF may be located in areas
with higher household population.
In addition to the building of MRFs, a massive campaign to reduce the volume

of solid waste generated will be a major project of the LGU. Successful campaigns in
waste reduction by different LGUs will be adopted as well. The accomplishments are
attributed to the following: 46
1. Massive public education campaign

2. Distribution/implementation of segregation system for recyclables and
compostables, and;
3. Technical and logistical support to barangays/NGOs

LOCAL ECONOMY
As Taytay is only a few kilometers away from Pasig City and is accessible from
various points of Metro Manila through the Ortigas Extension Avenue, Manila East
Road, Felix Avenue (formerly Imelda Avenue), Andres Bonifacio Avenue, Manggahan
Floodway, and Sumulong Highway, and from the south (Las Pinas, Bicutan, Alabang)
through the Bicutan Exit—Taytay’s opportunities for economic development are
endless. Large business establishments including SM City Taytay, and the soon-to-rise
Robinsons Taytay have found their homes in Taytay. The construction of the Mega
City Project that extends from Taguig to Taytay will provide Taytay, Rizal with more
economic and development opportunities than ever—including an international airport,
financial establishments, commercial centers and high-rise residential and mixed-use
condominiums.
The once agricultural town of Taytay is fast turning into a highly urbanized and
industrialized area that hosts diverse manufacturing and commercial activities and
numerous residential subdivisions. The presence of massive industrial firms, business
outsourcing and call centers, and retail establishments generate higher revenues for the
local government and employment to the municipality.
THE PRIMARY SECTOR
Farmers, fisherfolks, vegetable growers, livestock raisers and other multi-

sectoral groups supporting agricultural activities, plans and programs, or need
agricultural assistance, comprise the agricultural sector. Current agricultural programs
and projects involve rice production, livestock production, vegetable production,
fisheries development, multi-sectoral groups, i.e., cooperatives, women and youth. A
more detailed list is at the end of this section.
The primary (or agricultural sector) is becoming more and more marginalized
in the municipality. However, it continues to be productive because of Taytay’s rich
soils and climate. The remaining hectares left for rice production (about six percent or
less), particularly lands which are cultivated by small farmers, must be protected from
land use conversion for food security reasons. Backyard vegetable farming is another
source of food and livelihood for some residents. Vegetables thrive so well in the area
that it can be treated as both remunerative support and food supplement.
Mango production and cut flower cultivation are agricultural prospects that can
flourish as alternatives to traditional rice farming. The poultry industry is also thriving
in the area. These are agri-based ventures worth exploring. The next sections provide
the latest statistics for the Municipality’s agricultural production:
97
COM
Agricultural Areas
Land Use
The total agricultural area reported in 2006 was 218 hectares or only 6.3 percent of
the entire municipality. These were utilized for permanent crops (74 hectares or 34
percent) and temporary crops (143 hectares or 66 percent) (See Table 46).

Palay
Palay is the major crop produced in the province. Latest data from the Bureau
of Agricultural Statistics mentioned the crop’s total area of 185 hectares. About 171
hectares or 92 percent were considered irrigated farms, while 14 hectares or 8 percent
were dependent on rainfall. (See Table 47).
During rainfall, around 100 hectares are planted with palay, and around 160 to
180 hectares are planted during the dry season. (See Table 48). In the wet months of
June to October, Taytay yields about 82 to 90 cavans of rice per hectare. From October
to April, the municipality yields about 150 cavans per hectare, bearing good, certified
seeds. During the dry months of April to June, rice yields are about 90 to 100 cavans
per hectare.

Other Crops
Vegetable yields are about eight metric tons per hectare all throughout the year.
Ampalaya, eggplant, string beans (sitaw) and gourd were commonly grown temporary
crops in Taytay, as well as pechay (bok choy) and mustard—the latter two as alternate
crops to corn. Among the top permanent crops grown in the province, mango, posted
the biggest area planted at eight hectares with around 312 trees (Municipal Agricultural
Department, 2010). Kangkong is a major crop produced in Barangay San Juan, where
farms yield about 400 bundles per hectare. During wet season, 102 hectares are devoted
to Kangkong. Other green leafy vegetables (such as pechay, mustasa (mustard),
ampalaya (bitter gourd), pakbet ingredients—sitaw (string beans), kamatis (tomatoes)
and okra yield around eight to ten metric tons per hectare. Fruit trees yield 15 kaings

of land in Taytay is not good for rootcrops, thus the lack of peanut production. Peanuts
need sandy soil, Taytay’s soil is clay (See Table 51).

Crop Production
Taytay’s total cropland area of 218 hectares is planted to rice, corn, vegetables, and
fruits. This comprises 1.2 percent of the total cropland of Rizal (17,649 hectares) and
represents 6.3 percent of the municipality’s land area. The average production of rice
is relatively efficient considering that Taytay is not a major rice-producing municipality
of the province.

Crop Valuation
Rice production has always been the major contributor in terms of peso value
among the cultivated crops in the area. The bulk of this production, however, was not
commercially marketed but rather used for home consumption. As mentioned earlier,
vegetables, root crops, and fruit production raised as backyard crops were mainly
utilized for home consumption as well.
Mango production could thrive as an important agricultural industry in Taytay.

The town’s suitable climate and soils favor the cultivation of the fruit. However,
because of the very limited area of production allotted for this crop, mango production
failed to contribute significant economic value to the agricultural sector. With rapid
urbanization engulfing the municipality, agriculture may no longer be one of Taytay’s
strong points earmarked for development. However, institutional packages such as tax-
cuts may be afforded to the local farmers to entice them into continuing their source of
livelihood. Open areas that are relatively far from urban growth centers may also be
cultivated for agriculture purposes and protected from further urban development.
Livestock and Poultry Farms1
Poultry and hog raising are undertaken at small-scale and commercial levels in
the municipality. There are four private commercial poultry farms engaged in both eggs
(layers) and meat production (broilers). Hogs, on the other hand, are raised either for
fattening and breeding. Seven commercial farms are involved in hog-raising
operations. Three are engaged in breeding and fattening operations while four are into
fattening only. There are also a few individual raisers into fattening and piglets
production.
Based on the 2006 updated list, the number of commercial livestock farms is
about 68 for swine multiplier farms collectively for Taytay and the other municipalities.
In 2008, the number of commercial poultry farms is about 230 for gamefowls
collectively for Taytay and the other municipalities. Barangays San Juan and Muzon
have sporadic livestock.

Fisheries
The coastal population of Taytay has considerably dwindled, leaving only three
coastal barangays with only around 500 fisherfolks and motorized bancas. Means of
fishing is through the use of motorized and non-motorized bancas (75 units). These
families live along the coastal barangays of San Juan and Muzon. Currently there are
only three operators cultivating backyard fishponds totaling three hectares. Cultured
are freshwater carp, ‘tilapia’, and milkfish.
103
COM
Municipal fishing is undertaken mostly as a part-time activity for around 150

families, while the remaining 50 families make it as a full-time source of livelihood.
This downtrend may be a result of be lack of support services and facilities in the area.
However, these were generally for domestic consumption only.
Agricultural Trade and Marketing
Cropping Calendar
Of the major agricultural commodities grown in Taytay, Rizal, six temporary

crops were planted throughout the year. This was part of the campaign of the
Department of Agriculture (DA) to produce lowland vegetables such as ampalaya,
eggplant, stringbeans, and okra. Similarly, kangkong was grown abundantly through
all seasons among locations like the Taytay Floodway and near the lakeshore. Among
the permanent crops, mango was planted all year round while harvesting occurs from
March to June. As earlier mentioned, palay is most abundant during the wet months of
October to April.

Trading Calendar
Peak trading for most temporary crops usually occurs from January to June.
Peak trading for mango was from March to June and this gradually becomes off-season
from July until August. Lean months were noted in the second half of the year.
Peak Market Days
Like the rest of Rizal, Saturday and Sunday were the peak market days in most
major trading centers in Taytay. Tanay, Rizal however has the biggest trading center
in Rizal, and serves as the wholesale site for most Taytay farmers and farms
considering the substantial quantities of various commodities such as tropical
vegetables, selected fruits, tubers and rootcrops. Barangay San Juan is Taytay’s major
trading center.
Agricultural Wage Rates

Crops (Palay)
In 2006, the modes of payment for hired farm laborers in palay farm activities
such as plowing and harrowing were either on contract basis or daily wages. The
contracted wage rate was PhP2,000 without meal per month while the daily wage was
PhP350 without meal. (See Table 58).
Planting, weeding, fertilizer application, spraying activities are paid on daily

basis and rates ranged from PhP200 to PhP350 per day without meal. Hauling and
drying activities were paid PhP20 per sack. On the other hand, harvesting and threshing
were paid in kind through sharing with a ratio of one is to seven (1:7) of the total
harvest.

Farm Facilities and Infrastructure
Irrigation Systems and Facilities
There are two types of irrigation facilities existing in Taytay. The National
Irrigation Administration (NIA) constructed a gravitational irrigation system to fully
irrigate a service area of 22 hectares. Despite the presence of these irrigation facilities,
only half of the crop areas benefit from these.
The other type of irrigation is an irrigation pump constructed by private

individuals. Despite the presence of these irrigation facilities, only half of the crop
areas benefit from them. More irrigation structures are necessary to service a wider
production area and eventually increase farm productivity.

‘Kiskisan’ and ‘cono’ are two types of post-harvest facilities used in milling
rice in the municipality. Taytay has three rice mills operating to a capacity of 600
cavans to 1,000 cavans of rice per day. There also exists a privately-owned warehouse
with a storage capacity of 5,000 cavans.
Slaughtering Facilities
Rizal has a total of six abattoirs situated in six different municipalities. Taytay
has only one abattoir, and it is owned and operated by the municipal government. It is
in the public market and operates three times a week, with a slaughtering capacity of
two heads per day. Classified as Type C, slaughtered animals can only be sold within
the municipality.
Other Information
Other farm facilities
Other farm facilities used in Taytay include solar and mechanical dryers.
Agricultural Cooperatives
There are currently 10 known agricultural cooperatives in Taytay, Rizal. The Rizal
Lakeshore Farmers Multi-purpose Cooperative is the most active, with 60 registered
members. (See Table 62)

different towns and barangays of Taytay. Taytay can be reached approximately at
round trip fares of PhP70 from Cubao, the center of Metro Manila. There are also
shuttles or multi-purpose vans/FX that provide transportation from Taytay to other
areas in Manila, including Cubao, Ayala, and Ortigas.

Development Needs
There seems to be a lack of national government support for municipalities, particularly

those with intrinsic agricultural nature, as the current government’s thrust has been on
urbanization or cityhood. As governments have been geared to modernization and
industrialization as strategies for development, there has been inadequate support for
the Municipality’s agriculture.
In recent years there have been quite a significant decrease in Taytay, Rizal’s
agricultural and forest areas, as well as in their volume of production. This trend is seen
to continue as Taytay aims for cityhood this year, eventually urbanizing the entire
LGU. This thrust has then led to a number of land conversions that have sacrificed
prime agricultural land for urban development, further raising issues on sustainability
and food security.
Agricultural facilities are not enough to pursue competitive agriculture, aside

from the fact that this sector is about to dwindle in resources and support. Current
infrastructure support facilities are insufficient, while market linkages are inadequate,
considering the entire province is ill-equipped and poorly-supported in the agriculture
sector. Backyard farming should thus be encouraged to maximize Taytay’s good soils
and still obliging to food security needs of the residents. This should address Taytay’s
utmost desire for full urbanization, without much sacrificing the agricultural sector
opportunities. It should be noted, though, that decrease in the municipality’s
agricultural resources would result in environmental degradation and contribute to
climate changeThere are currently negligible land uses devoted for agriculture, the rest
of the areas for planting are used in conjunction with other land uses, and are planted
seasonally. This issue is to be addressed by an updated comprehensive land use plan
for the municipality, which should allocate a significant portion of land for agriculture.
Capital resources and technology should be allotted to fully market Taytay’s dwindling
agricultural products. Areas devoted for mango production should be increased, as
there are vast opportunities for mango production and marketing for the municipality.
111
COM
Sustainable agriculture and community-supported agriculture should further be

promoted, even among the urbanized areas. This will provide livelihood opportunities
for much of Taytay’s farming population, and prevent rural-to-urban migration. Such
practices also allow for profit-sharing and make the farmers not just workers per se,
but also owners of the cooperatives as well.
THE SECONDARY AND TERTIARY SECTORS
Taytay, known locally as the country’s “Garments and Woodworks Capital,”

offers quality ready-to-wear dresses and clothes, couture and fashion houses, curtains,
doors, furniture and other woodworks. During earlier years when local garment
industries boomed, Taytay’s businesses have expanded and integrated to downstream
activities like stuffed toy production and gift items. The woodcraft and furniture
industry are also integrated to antique-finished and rattan furniture. However,
increasing competition from rising cheap imports and climate change have threatened
Taytay’s core industries. In recent years, a number of these businesses have either
closed down or moved to other businesses or locations. As opposed to the
Municipality’s dwindling agricultural sector, commerce and industry, are no doubt the
very active economic sectors in the municipality. These sectors contribute a substantial
income to the municipal coffers. In 2009 to 2010, commercial activity dominated
Taytay’s economic landscape with 75 percent of the total number of economic
establishments registered with the Business Permits and Licensing Division of the
municipal government. There are more than 7,000 commercial and industrial firms
operating in the municipality.
Next to Antipolo and Cainta,Taytay has the most number of establishments in

the province in recent years at about 15 percent,3 and similarly leads in percentage share
for the services sector as well. The same is true for the manufacturing sector where the
top three local government units have a share in the establishments of the
province.Taytay has vast opportunities for economic development with its favorable
terrain and proximity to Metro Manila (see chapter on the Geophysical Environment)
where major industrial establishments are located. Firms engaged in service businesses
are mostly found in Taytay5 because of their strategic locations being the convergence
points to and from Metro Manila (See chapter on Infrastructure/Utilities/Facilities for
reference).
The following table enumerated Tatay’s top business activities, including their
percentage shares (Table 63) and number of companies involved. Table 64 provides a
more comprehensive list. It follows Antipolo (about 27 percent) and Cainta (25 to 26
percent). Taytay has about 25 percent while Antipolo has 27 percent and Cainta has 18

The presence of numerous manufacturing industries generates substantial employment

opportunities and contributes to municipality’s economic growth. Taytay’s garment
and sash industries are the core movers of the manufacturing sector. (See Box 1)
Box 1. Taytay’s Industry Movers
Taytay Sash Contractor Cooperative (TASACOOP)

For almost a century, Taytay’s livelihood has always been in carpentry and
dressmaking for almost a century. In the 90’s, a group of Taytay contractors wanted to
bring themselves in procuring raw materials at a low price and uplift the industry. The
idea of putting up a cooperative came up, which will not only help them in sourcing
out resources but will also provide them with profits and shares. Taytay’s contractors
then raised the needed capital and established the cooperative in 1993. Since then
TASACOOP has not only fully supported its members strategically and financially,
but also their fellow kababayans in providing them a living for self-sustaining jobs, as
the country’s foremost supplier of sash works and builders’ woodworks.
Gener Gozum
A designer who has been to different places promoting not only his artistry in
fashion design, Gener Gozum is also a proud Filipino sharing his talents and skills to
foreign countries. With his skills in fashion design and an acquired knowledge inform
a banking and finance degree, he has already presented several one-man fashion shows
here and abroad, including Hongkong and Denmark. Apart from achieving numerous
awards, his designs have been worn by celebrities like Pilita Corrales, Eva Eugenio,
Angelika dela Cruz, and Gladys Reyes, among others. His humililty and generosity has
become legendary as one of Taytay’s beloved sons. Aside from Gener, Miles
Unlimited, Guy V, PJ Bonza, and Sheryll Ellein Fashion are a few of Taytay’s other
popular couture houses. Although considered as a smaller sector in terms of number of
establishments, the industrial sector is one of the biggest sources of income of the
municipality. Table 65 breaks down the sector in terms of percentage shares.

However, in terms of number of establishments, 93.7 percent of all the business

establishments registered in Taytay are in the services and commerce sectors. More
than half of Tatay’s business establishments are in retail, and a fourth are in services.

Market
Most manufacturing firms in Taytay cater to domestic markets. While many

garment factories produce for such markets, some of them still export their products
outside the country, while the rest of the garment sub-contractors produce exclusively
for the lucrative export market. Other manufacturing industries, namely the furniture,
handicrafts, and iron works industries, produce for local consumption.
The emergence of ukay-ukay or salvation army stores which sell used clothing
from abroad at rock-bottom prices, as well as the import of cheap garment from China,
have threatened Taytay’s garment industry—in fact, garment manufacturing have
significantly decreased through the years. The same is the case for Taytay’s sash and
124
COM
woodworks industry, which have now become less visible in the municipality, with the
import of PVC (plastic) and mass-produced or pre-fabricated furniture from abroad.
Range of Capitalization
Most industries in Taytay range from small (PhP1.5 million to PhP15 million)
to medium-scale (PhP15 million to PhP60 million) industries. Most establishments
indicated a capitalization ranging from below PhP100,000 to PhP10 million, qualifying
as small-scale. Interestingly, only two firms indicated an above PhP15 M operating
capitalization
Services Sector
Aside from its thriving secondary or industrial base, Taytay also renders higher-
order tertiary services at the local and inter-municipal levels such as financial services,
banking and money-lending, professional and business services, recreational facilities,
and wholesale and retail trade.
The presence of several banking institutions and a few other lending institutions
operating in the municipality indicates the volume of financial transactions in the area
and that the area has achieved the minimum agglomeration and scale economies that
lead to further economic growth and development. The tertiary sector provides the
commercial and service-oriented establishments required by both manufacturing
industries and residential population in the municipality. The strong industrial and
commercial bases of the local economy attest to Taytay’s increasing importance as the
present and future industrial cum commercial hub in the province of Rizal
Credit Facilities
Taytay, Rizal has 13 commercial banks, 10 rural banks and 6 savings banks that
can provide finance and credit facilities to its entrepreneurs, businessmen and
investors. See Tables 68, 69, 70 and 71 for a list of these institutions.

Censal records showed that age groups ranging from 20-39 years old were the
most economically active. The mode of the employed population distribution is 27
years old, indicating a relatively young work force.
A domino effect is aspired when there is an increase of sash and garment

factories in Taytay as a result of stronger marketing and networking policies as
mentioned above. With such increase, it should follow that there will also be an
increase of job openings that do not need high levels of academic training. Skills
development, however, may be needed to allow the unemployed access to these job
projections in sash work and garment knitting. Perhaps linkages with TESDA
(Technical Education and Skills Development Authority) can be used to augment this
need in the future.
Development Needs
The rise of informal sectors have led to a number of informal businesses to not
only compete with Taytay’s existing businesses, but have also been the source of petty
crime and pollution, which have further discouraged potential investors in investing in
Taytay.
Also, the emergence of manufacturing plants and even the small-scale sash and
woodworks shops have contributed to Taytay’s air, land and noise pollution. As
agricultural lands have decreased inrecent years, there have been less plants to convert
128
COM
carbon dioxide with the oxygen supplied by the plants. If the pollution will not be
controlled this early, Taytay may lose its commercial, residential, and tourism market.
If it envisions itself to be a retirement community in the coming years, it should
implement serious efforts to eradicate or control pollution this early. Importation of
cheap goods are cannibalizing Taytay’s garments and sash industry, as well as its very
own manufacturing sector, which have always been one of the municipal government’s
strongest source of revenues.
Recent climate change manifestations have taken a toll on the Municipality’s

productivity in all sectors—including agricultural, manufacturing and services.
Likewise, climate change effects have hindered potential investors from pursuing
business opportunities in the Municipailty for fear that the “Ondoy” tragedies may
happen again. Market support mechanisms are needed to be explored. A trade-fair
complex may be installed so as to provide at manufacturer’s will a legitimate venue to
network their products to potential local and foreign clients. Support by the municipal
government in terms of marketing strategies or advertising these industries to domestic
and foreign markets is a pertinent task in improving Taytay’s manufacturing sector to
the markets. These factors inhibit the growth of commerce and trade in the locality,
including the adequacy of the existing commercial service centers to serve the
municipal population considering the nature and distribution of commercial area,
location criteria and standard, as well as its influence areas outside the municipality;
efficiency of support facilities such as garbage collection/solid waste management in
all commercial establishments especially the market and slaughter areas
There are vast economic opportunities coming from prospective developments:

Lakeshore Project, Mega City Project, the proposed national convention center, the
proposed Robinsons Malls, and the emergence of contact centers and business process
outsourcing companies, agglomerating from the fast congesting Manila and Cainta
areas. These opportunities make up for Taytay’s dwindling commerce and trade
sectors, as well as manufacturing. Because of these opportunities, adequacy of
power/water requirements, efficiency of infrastructure and traffic problems within the
vicinity of the public market and commercial establishments, needs of the population
for service facilities/services, need for more financing sources for commercial
development, particular manpower skills and corresponding training based on existing
trends/demand of the commerce and trade sector, have to be anticipated and met.
In terms of the current trends and needs in industrial activities, the adequacy of
the existing industrial establishments considering the nature and distribution of
industrial area, location criteria, etc., and other needs and vital growth requirements,
including capital financing for industry generation and/or expansion, agencies/sectors
which provide financial assistance/grants for specific industries, required manpower
skill/s and the corresponding training for such, marketing strategies and market for
perceived surplus products or goods, power requirements of existing and projected
129
COM
industries, infrastructure support facilities, anti-pollution devices for pollutive and

hazardous industries and economic activities are to be continuously studied.
These development needs are further mentioned in the chapter on

Infrastructure/Utilities/Facilities) Subcontracting with foreign counterparts is an
effective way of increasing the number of firms engaged in the export production of
garments and other goods. These can take advantage of foreign demand and expand
their market niche, especially in view of a now somewhat saturated local market.
TOURISM INDUSTRY
Just three hours away and 20 kilometers east of Manila, Taytay’s proximity to
the country’s capital leads most people to dismiss the Municipality as still part of the
capital city. Taytay is one of the cities and towns that are close to the metropolis, where
Manila ends and where the province of Rizal begins as the outskirts of Rizal are already
heavily industrialized and commercial in nature and seem to be an extension of
Manila—creating an impression that Taytay has nothing to offer but just another
industrial suburb of Manila.6
Because Taytay has a terrain that varies from level to hilly to mountainous, it
should develop various forms of tourism and recreational activities suitable to each
kind of terrain. The municipality can boast of its several tourist attractions, malls and
supermarkets, churches and chapels and feasts and festivals, which can be further
developed and more aggressively marketed to make Taytay, Rizal a major tourist
destination, considering its proximity to Manila and as a gateway to the
CALABARZON area.
Although the local development thrusts, plans, programs, projects and policies
of the municipal government for the year 2010 include the development and promotion
of tourism, recreation and sports in Taytay, Rizal, there does seems to be little efforts
to achieve that goal.
Tourist attractions
Taytay’s recreational areas, waterfalls, rock formations, Spanish colonial

churches, thousand year-old artworks, private-owned resorts, other local resorts, and
tourism activities are world-class and are often visited by tourists here and abroad.
To boost the economic versatility of Taytay, potential tourist sites need to be

developed in the short-term (through aggressive marketing efforts), as well as in the
long-term (through development of natural resources, man-made attractions and
service facilities).

Taytay Sports Complex
The local government is setting sight on the construction of a PhP200 million

state of the art sports complex, to replace the Marikina Sports Center, which is no
longer part of Rizal Province. The soon to rise 13.6 hectare-facility in Barangay
Muzon will be a modern day sports complex, equipped with world class facilities,
which include an open athletic field (with elevated bleachers), Olympic-size pools,
covered basketball courts—at par with the global standards. The complex would host
various provincial sports activities, such as the Palarong Panlalawigan, the
Governor’s Cup, the Palarong Pambansa, among others. Aside from tourism, this
development is also part of the government’s efforts to provide the youth to help
them do away with drugs and at the same time develop and hone their talents through
various sports disciplines of their choice

Medical Tourism
Taytay has been growing as a destination for medical tourism. Reports say that
this services subsector grew to eight percent in 2007.7 The number is expected to grow
as American health-care costs rise, and pending legislation increase patient wait times
for surgical procedures (as has been seen in other countries where care has been
nationalized), because of the traditional political, economic and cultural connections
between the United States and the Philippines.8

San Juan Paligo
June 24 is the feast of Saint John the Baptist, the patron saint of Taytay. It has
been a tradition for Catholics and non-Catholics to shower people on the streets with
water. In recent years, the Municipal Government of Taytay joined in the celebration
by taking the new fire truck on the streets to shower the celebrators with cool bath.

Development Needs
Tourism opportunities arising from Club Manila East’s aggressive marketing

are abounding, and this will provide related livelihood projects such as souvenir
production and handicrafts to the locals, apart from the expected tourism employment
opportunities.
Nevertheless, the preservation of the natural environment and the maintenance of

ecological balance should always be observed, and the national guidelines and
standards promulgated by the DOT (Department of Tourism), PTA (Philippine
Tourism Authority), and other concerned agencies, strictly followed.
The existence of strong and reliable support mechanism, e.g. necessary linkages and
legal support, capacity development, improved transport facilities and access roads,
promotion campaign, etc. should always be maintained. The strong efforts of Wow
Philippines or Pilipinas Kayganda of the DOT will further promote Taytay not only in
the country but also to the rest of the world. Local ordinances to regulate tourism
development and operations (as to design, character, height of structure, distance from
the water, signages, etc.) should also be fully prepared, and to apply for incentives on
tourism projects from the DOT. Because of the expected rise of transient population
and of the influx of local and foreign tourists, proper service facilities should
continuously be implemented and provided.

SECTORAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
SOCIAL SECTOR
HOUSING SECTOR
Taytay, in general, has available housing units to most of its residents. In

2007, the NSO survey has accounted for 54,302 occupied housing units
accommodating 96 percent of the household population during the period.
Furthermore, it was recorded during the same censal activity that 50 percent of the
houses in the municipality were built in concrete/brick stone. This is followed by
materials made of wood and predominantly combination of wood and stone.
However, considering the climate change and the experiences of the

residents of Taytay during the onslaught of typhoon Ondoy, more suitable, flexible
yet strong housing units are now in demand to last the wrath of any natural calamity
that might occur again in the future.
Pockets of informal settlers were observed in all barangays of Taytay. This

is brought about by migration of people from different locations to the municipality
as well as the increase of population in the area as the economy of Taytay
progresses. Due to this situation other people are gravitated in Taytay causing the
proliferation of illegal occupants. Moreover, shelters were built on high risk and
dangerous areas endangering the lives of occupants. There is a strong need to
control the massive placement of illegal occupants in the municipality.
138
COM
Development Needs

as feedback mechanism for any housing developments

• To encourage the development of low to medium rise socialized housing
sites with complete community facilities
• Housing sites shall be strictly subject to the regulations of the National
Housing Authority
Programs and Projects
Conduct of Housing Assessment
In any project, a feasibility study is a good start to determine the probability

of its success. In the case of housing and resettlement in Taytay, a tagging and
benchmarking of informal settlers, as a preliminary effort, should be done to
determine their magnitude and identify the affected residents of the planned
development in the area. Moreover, a housing assessment will also help identify
the degree of the needs of people in terms of socialized housing, its land tenure,
housing conditions, design, among others. The municipal government shall
conduct a housing census including an inventory of informal settlers within danger
areas, government properties, private properties and institutional areas.
Establishment of a Local Housing Board
There is a need to establish and formalize a Local Housing Board that shall
lead the municipality in discussing and implementing all aspects of housing
development. Their task shall include among others the inventory of available land,
census of residents, and availability of finances. The board shall coordinate with
other agencies and departments in order to establish decent housing settlements for
the residents of Taytay. Furthermore, the Housing Board shall also be responsible
in the strict enforcement of Anti- Squatting Law within the community. Specialized
police force and community action groups will be established to mitigate
professional squatters and squatting syndicates. Vis-à-vis the enforcement work of
the Local Housing Board, they shall also be assigned to conduct campaign on
socialized housing, housing finance, and such other programs.
Strengthening of Socialized Housing Program

This program should include institutionalization of land acquisition for
socialized housing projects. Also, the establishment of a clear plan for the
improvement of the existing structures in the resettlement areas and expansion of
the number or housing units for more settlers should be accomplished. This is
particularly critical in Lupang Arenda where the government envisions upgrading
the area to a more conducive dwelling. Upgrading should include proper drainage
system, waste and pollution control, and disaster risk management. This should be
140
COM
done in coordination with national agencies and private investors on the

development of such lands. The strengthening of the program should also include
a comprehensive livelihood assistance to empower the residents and be able to
avail themselves of the low-cost socialized housing projects.
Encouraging Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
Establishing linkages between public and private sector will help

aggressively promote opportunities to the advantage of the settlers. There are
existing public and private firms that can contribute to the development of housing
projects particularly on the financing aspect. The partnership shall not be limited
to public and private groups but is also open to people’s organization (PO, non-
government organizations (NGOs), and other civil society organizations (CSOs).
This can also serve as a feedback mechanism on housing projects to further
improve the settlements.

EDUCATION
The wide presence of learning institutions in Taytay has contributed to a

relatively high literacy rate of the municipality in 2007. About 70 percent of the
schooling age population has received formal education in any learning institutions
at varying levels.
However, an alarming number of unschooled children composing more

than 30 percent of the school age population of Taytay were registered in the same
censal activity. It was also noted that in most elementary and high schools, the ratio
of students to a classroom has reached to a maximum of 134 pupils per room for
elementary and 173 for the secondary.
Affordable and quality education seemed to be out of reach for some

recorded non-school youth. An increasing rate of drop-outs had been underscored
and something has to be done to monitor and make sure that these drop-outs go
back to school and become productive citizens in the end. A free-for-all education
with quality standards must be imposed in order to calibrate the Taytay graduates
and equip them well enough in entering the workforce. There was an obvious lack
of buildings and classrooms, and even teachers, to accommodate not only the
present schooling age but also the projected schooling population in the future.
Development Needs
• Construction of additional buildings with classrooms for elementary and

secondary schools
• Additional institutional land area for new buildings
• Quality instructional and learning materials for both teachers and students
• Regular training/workshop seminars to augment the capacity of teaching
and administration staff
• Hiring of additional teachers and faculty
• Promotion of a free-for-all education
145
COM
Goals
The LGU of Taytay will maintain and support all integrated educational system
relevant to the needs of the people and the society
Objectives
• To achieve universal access to primary and secondary education
• To provide adequate school facilities (buildings, classrooms, libraries, etc.)
and equipment to students of Taytay
• To provide best and effective mentors in all school levels of Taytay
• To attract additional faculty to teach in Taytay schools
• To provide adequate recreational facilities for both students and teachers
Strategies
• Assessment of the current educational system, projects and other programs
related to the sector
• Assessment of the gravity of needs by barangay
• Increased incentives for teachers and other teaching staff
• Regular workshops and training for teachers in Taytay
• Additional computer units and other technologies in school
• Imposition of free-education for primary level or subsidized education for
secondary or tertiary level
• Partnership with private sectors to invest in educational facilities
• Source out educational materials from possible donor institutions
• Putting up of recreational facilities for the students and teachers
Policies
• Enactment of ordinance and strict implementation of free- education for
primary level or subsidized education for secondary or tertiary level
• Passage of appropriation of fund for acquisition of additional computers,
books, and other learning materials for public schools
• Enactment of ordinance for intensive teacher training for public and private
schools in all levels
Construction and Rehabilitation of School Buildings

The project will prioritize construction of additional rooms for both
elementary and secondary schools that were identified as having unreasonable ratio
of students in a room. Construction of a three- storey annex building can be
undertaken depending on the available land area in order to expand operations of
the school.
146
COM
While construction of school buildings is on-going, hiring of additional

teachers and personnel should also be done at the same time to handle incoming
classes that will be using the new rooms. Rehabilitation of existing buildings must
be performed as well to ensure safety of the students considering the possibility of
earthquakes and such other calamities.
Continuous Teacher Training Program
To become at par with a high quality education with private schools and
even overseas, public school teachers should continuously undergo formal and
informal education to upgrade their knowledge and capabilities in teaching.
Furthermore, the LGU with local DepEd should coordinate with the academe, not
only in the country but even abroad on available scholarships for graduate school
for qualified and deserving teachers. Also, the teachers can be encouraged to attend
distance learning programs that are available in some universities.
Scholarship Program
Full and partial scholarships should be available to deserving and qualified

students in the municipality regardless of age. The municipality shall have
available funds that can also help students with their monthly stipends, book
allowance, clothing and transportation allowance and subsidy for projects.
Linkages with colleges and universities should be established as well to

look for opportunities for scholarship or fellowship grants. The LGU can also link
with socio-civic organizations or philanthropic groups as sources of funding.
Another option is a study-work program wherein a private sector will

sponsor a qualified student to enter school while working part-time in their
company. This arrangement will be more advantageous to tertiary students. The
LGU will locate possible private companies that can accommodate such an
arrangement.
Construction of an Educational Resource Center

The Educational Resource Center will serve as a training house for children
who do not have the capacity to enroll in a formal school set-up. This includes the
street children, the out-of-school youth, and the drop-outs. Regular trainings for
children in various themes and topics will be provided by the center.
Also, part of the services of the resource center is giving guidance/advice

to children to encourage them to go back to school. The parents and the family of
the children will also be part of the counseling in order to ensure that they will give
their support in putting the children to school.

Moreover, the resource center shall serve as a recreational facility where

they can find a library as a source of information and knowledge to all the residents
of Taytay. Audio and video materials will also be available as well as educational
toys. A small play center will be set-up for toddlers and pre-schoolers to encourage
learning at play.

HEALTH
In the last five years, improvement in the health populace of Taytay in terms
of mortality and morbidity rate has improved. There was a recorded trend of
decreasing number of malnutrition cases in children, morbidity and mortality for
adult, as well as morbidity and mortality cases for the infants. However, despite
the positive advance in the health sector, the municipality has insufficient
manpower and facilities to cater the population of Taytay and its future residents.
Other matters on health raised during the planning workshop of the LGU
relate to an increasing number of incidents of dog bites, TB infection and access of
households to potable and quality drinking water.
Development Needs
• Reduction of malnutrition, morbidity and mortality rate in Taytay

• Hiring of health staff
• Rehabilitation and maintenance of existing health facilities and equipment
• Construction of strategically located health facilities
• Expansion of institutional areas where health facilities can be situated
• Construction of piped water systems connecting to household faucets
Goals
The LGU of Taytay will effectively promote the health and human development
of its constituents leading to a better quality life.
Objectives
• To assess the magnitude of health needs in the municipality

• To assess current projects and programs related to health
• To encourage regular monitoring of health for all ages, particularly children
and elders
• To encourage medical activities by private practitioners
• To provide cheap but quality medicines to Taytay residents
• To campaign for education and information dissemination about health
concerns
• To reduce incidence of malnutrition, mortality and morbidity for adults and
infants
• To maintain medical facilities/equipments and water systems
• To hire competent and adequate health staff to monitor health needs of the
current and future populace

153
COM
Development of a Health Master Plan
The Master Plan will be produced through a Situational Analysis of existing

and projected future population characteristics. The plan will include validation of
key HR issues and problems to answer the need for redistribution of health
workers. A careful validation and finalization of workforce projections at
municipal level should be conducted with sensitivity analysis. Identification of
specific training for the HR for health will also be part of the Master Plan. The plan
will be the umbrella project to encompass all the programs to be implemented by
the municipality.
Improvement of the Human Resources for Health
To attract more health workers, a proper Human Resources System should

be maintained to retain the workforce for the LGU. The improvement shall include
a database of the job designs, a clear job description with commensurate job
evaluation and job pricing. There should also be a fair recruitment and rewards
system that will help encourage the health practitioners to stay in Taytay. A Career
Development and Management system shall be implemented through series of
trainings and workshops to enhance the capacity and improve the career of the
workers. Additional knowledge can serve as incentives to workers and might
derive commitment from them to work.
Development of Evaluation and Monitoring Schemes
There should be a formal monitoring system on over-all goals and indicators

based on the master plan developed. The monitoring shall include evaluating the
success of projects being implemented and the implementation itself including the
staff and the system.
SOCIAL WELFARE
The services offered by the Municipal Social Welfare Development Office

or MSWDO cater to a variety of clientele in Taytay. Their human development
programs are focused on families, children, youth and even women and the
community. The MSWDO is also known for providing assistance in case of
disasters and untoward incidents.
154
COM
The successful programs of the office are targeting the development of

family welfare. Their programs include counseling of couples, solo parents,
handling child and family cases, etc.
The emergency assistance program of MSWDO has also been a success. It

has served more than the target beneficiary particularly for the emergency shelter
assistance. More than 500 percent of the targeted beneficiary was assisted by the
office during calamities that hit Rizal in 2009.
It was mentioned during the planning workshop of the LGU, that there was
an increasing number of cases of marital conflicts and incidence of battered
women. There were also reported cases of rape and high incidence of Children In
Conflict With Law (CICL). One of the possible causes of these mentioned
situations was identified in the workshop. According to MSWDO, the prevalence
of poverty might have caused these untoward incidents.
Development Needs
• Creation of livelihood programs and employment opportunities for Taytay

residents
• Creation of children and women centers
• Empowerment of children and women to various programs
• Free legal counseling services for victims of rape
• Creation of a child protection and rehabilitation program for the CICL
Goal
The LGU of Taytay will prioritize caring, protecting and rehabilitation of the
families and the disadvantaged individuals in the municipality
Objectives
• To continue and develop the successful programs of the MSWDO

• To create additional responsive projects based on the needs of the
municipality
• To reduce and totally eradicate incidence of battered women and CICL
• To reduce incidence of marital and family conflict
• To reduce poverty incidence by creating employment and job opportunities
for the Taytay residents

ECONOMIC SECTOR
PRIMARY SECTOR
The agricultural sector, though becoming more marginalized, continues to

be productive because of Taytay’s rich soils and climate. The remaining hectares
left for rice production must be protected from land use conversion for food
security reasons. Backyard vegetable farming is another source of food and
livelihood for some residents. Vegetables thrive so well in the area that it can be
treated as both remunerative support and food supplement. Other agri-based
ventures worth exploring are mango production, cutflower cultivation and poultry
industry.
Development Needs
• Sufficient agricultural facilities and technology

• Increase in agricultural livelihood opportunities
• Improvement in crop production.
Goal
Develop long-term agricultural plans and policies to sustain the dwindling primary
activities.
156

FLOOD CONTROL AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES
Many areas in the Municipality of Taytay are prone to flooding due to its
elevation and its location, particularly those in the low-lying and flat areas and the
coastal areas of Laguna de Bay and the Manggahan Floodway who are most
susceptible to seasonal flooding.
One of the main causes of flooding in these areas is the clogged drainage
systems. At present, most of the drainage network systems in the municipality
consist mainly of open creeks and open canals that require constant dredging.
There are a number of projects proposed from the national agencies and in
cooperation with different funding agencies to mitigate flood not just in Taytay,
but also in the neighboring municipalities. Among these are the 1. Construction of
the Marikina Dam; 2.Land Use Zoning and Upper Marikina Floodplain
Management; 3. Construction of Stages II and III of the Pasig-Marikina River
Channel Improvement Project (PMRCIP); 4. The Laguna Lakeshore Ring Road
Dike; and 5. East Manggahan Floodway Project.
Development Needs
1. Prioritization of flood mitigation projects
2. Need for acquisition of vacuum truck/s
3. Need for Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) for Flood Mitigation projects
4. Need for maintenance of drainage systems
5. Need for Information – Education Campaign (IEC) on proper waste
disposal

Goals
The main goal in developing plans to mitigate flooding in Taytay is to protect lives
and property and to ensure that businesses and industries are not affected by the
floods.

DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY
Data gathered from Taytay show that there is still about 10% of the total
households that obtain water from Level I; 25.64% access water through Level II
and about 41.95 percent obtain their supply of water through Level III category.
Level III systems in Taytay are provided for by the Manila Water Company Inc.
(MWCI)
Based on NSO data shows that more than 18 percent of the Taytay household
population buys their water from peddlers. Some 14.68 percent get their sources
of water from shared water systems and 12.03 percent get their water from shallow
wells. Only 10.99 percent of the total Taytay household population have their own
individual connections.
Manila Water reports that there are 35,471 total households connected to
them, while Taytay MPDO reports that only 22,094 households have connections
to a water service provider as of 2010. The 2010 NSO website data indicates that

ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY
Taytay is served by the Manila Electric Company (MERALCO). In 1994,

MPDO reports that 93.53 percent of all the households in the municipality are
sufficiently served by power while only 7 percent have yet to be connected. Data
from NSO reports that in 2000, 39,712 households or 93.18 percent use electricity
for lighting. The municipality of Taytay is host to one substation by the National
Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in Barangay Dolores. The major
supply line for Taytay comes from the newly completed San Jose 500kV
substation. The Taytay substation is serving the growing demand of Metro Manila.
By year 2012, the substation, which is at 4-300 MVA capacity will be overloaded
already. A new substation will be built in Antipolo and will connect to the existing
San Jose-Taytay 230 kV line in order to augment the increase in load demand in
Metro Manila. Taytay is served by Manila Electric Company (MERALCO).

Waste Disposal System
Based on the 2007 Annual Report, the old municipal dumpsite can
accommodate an average of 10,500 cubic meter of solid waste or about 2,100
trucks per month from all five barangays. But of this capacity, only 60-70 percent
of the total waste were collected and treated.10
The MPDO of Taytay has no updated data on the amount of waste that the
municipality collectively produces. However, the National Solid Waste
Management Commission reports the municipality of Taytay contributes some
59.45 tpd of waste. It also has a 0.3 percent waste generation rate which is the
average rate in Rizal. 11
In Taytay, there are only three materials recovery facilities (MRF). The
capacities of each of these waste disposal facilities and MRFs are not mentioned

ENVIRONMENT SECTOR
The Manggahan Floodway lessens flood conditions in Metro Manila by

carrying flood waters to Laguna de Bay, but contributes to flooding of the coastal
areas of Taytay and other towns in Laguna and Rizal along the lake. In September
2009 typhoons, Taytay was one of the worst hit municipalities in the country, with
many lives and properties lost. The Municipality has been proactive and aggressive
in its disaster risk management and climate change mitigation. Taytay is blessed
with many parks and open spaces, although land conversion is threatening a
significant decrease in these spaces. Taytay’s thousands of factories and industries
are also contributing to air pollution, while its informal sectors are worsening
Taytay’s land pollution.
Taytay is rich in natural resources that should help promote the

Municipality as an eco-tourism destination near Manila.
