MACRO SITE ANALYSIS
Introduction
Laguna officially known as the Province of Laguna , is a province in
the Philippines, located in the Calabarzon region in Luzon. Its capital is Santa Cruz and
the province is situated southeast of Metro Manila, south of the province of Rizal, west
of Quezon, north of Batangas and east of Cavite. Laguna hugs the southern shores
of Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the country. As of the 2015 census, the province's
total population is 3,035,081. It is also currently the seventh richest province in the
country.
Laguna is notable as the birthplace of Jose Rizal, the country's national hero. It is
also famous for attractions like Pagsanjan Falls, the University of the Philippines Los
Baños campus, the hot spring resorts of Los Baños and Calamba on the slopes of Mount
Makiling, Pila historic town plaza, Taytay Falls in Majayjay, the wood carvings and papier-
mache created by the people of Paete, the annual Sampaguita Festival in San Pedro,
the turumba of Pakil, the tsinelas footwears from Liliw, the Pandan Festival of Luisiana,
the Seven Lakes of San Pablo, and the Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery in Nagcarlan.
Calamba City is a 1st class city in the Province of Laguna, Philippines. According
to the 2015 census, it has a population of 454, 486 People.

It is the regional center of the Calabarzon region. It is situated 50 kilometres (31 mi)
south of Manila, 37 kilometres (23 mi) west of Santa Cruz, Laguna and 31 kilometres
(19 mi) north of San Pablo, Laguna. The city is known as the "Resort Capital of the
Philippines" because of its numerous hot spring resorts, which are mostly located in
Barangay Pansol, Bucal and Bagong Kalsada.
According to the 2015 census, the city has a population of 454,486 people, making
it the most populous local government unit in Laguna. [3] It is the 5th densest city in the
province with more than 2,600 people per square kilometer after San Pedro, Biñan,
Cabuyao and Santa Rosa. Based on the overall rankings of the 2014 Cities and
Municipalities Index, the city ranked 18th in the overall competitiveness (cities ranking)
and 1st among cities in the Calabarzon region. The city is known to be the Calabarzon's
richest city, followed by Cabuyao City, because of its numerous factories according to the
Region 4-A Calabarzon.
Laguna is one of the Marikina-Infante Highway, also known as the Marcos Highway
or MARILAQUIE stands for Manila- Rizal – Laguna – Quezon, is a scenic mountain 110
– kilometre highway that connects Metro Manila with Infantan, Quezon in the Philippines.
The highway starts in Marikina near Katipunan Avenue, the Loyola Heights
segment of Circumferential Road 5, in Quezon City. Some of races use this highway in
illegal racing and this highway always in the news they reported about illegal racers race
on highway cause of their accident and inconveniences in the community.

PHYSICAL STRUCTURES
The Ten (10) Kilometer Radius
The researcher has identified major physical structure around the site within the
10-kilometer radius. Included in the radius aside from. The beautiful destination, historical
monument around the site in Calamba City.
The following lists will show the major developments per city that surrounds. The
chosen site in the 10- kilometre radius included in the list also are the general
characteristics within this region such us: Geography and soil, Water, Topography,
Climate, Ecology and Built environment. The researcher has discussed the following
needs on this site for the community needs and goods.

GEOGRAPHY
Calamba lies on the northern slopes of Mount Makiling, a dormant volcano. The
southern terminus of the South Luzon Expressway is in Calamba and this geographic
position makes the city a gateway to the southern provinces of Luzon. The highway at the
end of the South Luzon Expressway leads east to the other towns of Laguna and south
towards the provinces of Batangas and Quezon.
The city is bordered by Cabuyao to the north, Los Baños to the east, by the
province of Batangas to the south, specifically the city of Tanauan, the municipalities
of Santo Tomas and Talisay, and by the province of Cavite to the west,
with Tagaytay and Silang. Laguna de Bay the country's largest lake, forms the city's
northeast border. The provincial capital, Santa Cruz, is located 37 kilometers (23 mi) by
road to the east.
Calamba covers a total land area of 14,950 hectares (36,900 acres), making it is
the 2nd largest city in Laguna province in terms of land area after San Pablo. Calamba
has only one types of soil that is loam to hydrosol but Laguna, has many types of soil
varying from different types of loam and clay to hydrosol. The hydrosol type plus clay loam
type soil with find sandy materials found in the lakeshore has given rise to early
homogenous lowland rice farming pattern in the province. In contrast, the upland plains
of Quezon and Laguna are characterized by the presence of clay, clay loam, and type
with fine sandy materials good for rice farming.
HYDROLOGY
The main source of water supply in Calamba and Los Baños is groundwater,
sourced through pressurized pumps, wells and reservoirs. The piped water systems in
Calamba are being maintained by the Calamba Water District (CWD), while the Laguna
Water District (LWD) provides water service connections to Los Baños. A total of 49
pumps across Calamba are registered in the CWD (CWD, 2015). However, many
households have their own pumps installed, without the regulation of the water districts.
As of 2014, the CWD piped system serves about 46,595 households and government
institutions and 2979 commercial and industrial establishments (CWD, 2015). There are
nine (9) main water sources of LWD across Los Baños, which include the Dampalit Dam
in Mt. Makiling, and groundwater wells located in the barangays (villages) of Lalakay,
Lopez Heights Timugan, Villegas Baybayin, Maahas, UPCO, Umali, Batong Malake and
Bayog. Aside from Los Baños, the LWD also supplies potable water to the nearby towns
located along the southern coastline of Laguna de Bay (towns of Bay, Calauan and some
areas in Victoria). At present, the LWD covers water connections for 18,522 residential
areas, 109 institutions, and 799 commercial establishments (LWD, 2015).
Based on the records of the CWD, the total monthly water consumption of domestic
and commercial users in December 2014 was about 925,051 m3. Of the total
consumption, 94% (869,463 m3) was for domestic consumption, while 6% (55,588 m3)
was used by the commercial sector (CWD, 2015). Meanwhile, in Los Baños the total
monthly water consumption in October 2014 based on the records of the LWD, was about
659,826 m3. Of this amount, 97% (639,896 m3) was accounted for domestic consumption,
while 3% (19,930 m3) was consumed by the commercial and bulk users (LWD, 2015).
Other major channels are listed below with their description, these major channels
are only included in 10-km radius study area.
Laguna de Bay
Laguna de Bay is the largest lake in the Philippines located east of Metro
Manila between the provinces of Laguna to the south and Rizal to the north.
The freshwater lake has a surface area of 911–949 km² (352–366 sq mi), with an average
depth of about 2.8 metres (9 ft 2 in) and an elevation of about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) above
sea level. The lake is shaped like a stylized 'W', with two peninsulas jutting out from the
northern shore. Between these peninsulas, the middle lobe fills the large volcanic Laguna
Caldera. In the middle of the lake is the large island of Talim, which falls under the
jurisdiction of the towns of Binangonan and Cardona in Rizal province.
San Cristobal River
The San Cristobal River commonly known as Matang Tubig River is a river system
in the cities of Calamba and Cabuyao, Laguna, Philippines. The river forms as Calamba's
northern boundary with Cabuyao. The river is one of 21 major tributaries of Laguna de
Bay.
The main source of the San Cristobal River is Mount Sungay, the highest mountain
of Cavite province, where the main stem and its tributaries drain the northern and eastern
side of the mountain. Its watershed area covers Calamba City and Cabuyao
City in Laguna, Tagaytay City and the municipality of Silang in Cavite. The river system
of San Cristobal from Mount Sungay, is connected to the Matang Tubig located
in Casile and Canlubang.

Along with the San Juan River, the two rivers act as natural drainage systems by
receiving and conveying Calamba's (and Cabuyao's for San Cristobal) liquid wastes and
storm surface runoff to the nearby Laguna de Bay. Both rivers are very polluted as a
result, thus, affecting the water quality of the lake as well.
Although a 1991 study cited the San Pedro River and Morong River as the sources
of eutrophication-causing minerals in Laguna de Bay, the Laguna Lake Development
Authority (LLDA) has noted that more recent deterioration of the San Cristobal River in
Calamba have made it one of the lake's major sources of nutrient loading. The LLDA's
conservation efforts for the major tributaries and watersheds of Laguna de Bay have led
to the creation of the Laguna de Bay River Basin Councils, of which the San Cristobal
River Enhancement Defenders (SACRED) is particularly tasked with conservation of the
San Cristobal.
San Juan River
The San Juan River known to be as Calamba River, is a river system in Calamba
City, Philippines. It is one of 21 major tributaries of Laguna de Bay and is regularly
monitored by the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) through one of its 15 river
monitoring stations. Along with the San Cristobal River, it is one of the two major rivers of
Calamba that drains into Laguna de Bay.[1] Its watershed area covers Calamba City in
Laguna and the municipalities of Santo Tomas, Tanauan, and Malvar in Batangas.
Tadlac Lake
Tadlac Lake, also colloquially known as Alligator Lake, is a freshwater crater
lake located in Barangay Tadlac, in the municipality of Los Baños of Laguna province in
the Philippines. The lake-filled maar is located along the southern shore of Laguna de
Bay, the largest lake in the country, with Alligator Lake protruding out of the shore of the
larger lake. If not for its slightly-elevated crater rim, Alligator Lake would be wholly
engulfed by Laguna de Bay.
Prior to the introduction of aquaculture, Alligator Lake was considered as
an oligotrophic lake, having low nutrient content and low algal production, resulting in very
clear water with high drinking-water quality.
Lake Caliraya
Lake Caliraya is a man-made lake situated in
the municipalities of Lumban, Cavinti, and Kalayaan in Laguna province, Philippines.
Created in 1939, the lake has developed as a popular spot for water sports and outdoor
recreation including fishing. Surrounding the lake are a number of resorts and vacation
homes which cater to tourists.
TOPOGRAPHY
City of Calamba covers a total land area of 14,480 hectares. It is almost entirely
plain with 97.89% of its total land area having slopes ranging from 0.0 to 2.5% indicating
level to nearly level lands. Only about 298 hectares or 2.06% of total land area of the city
is subject to slight erosion. The area most susceptible to erosion is the south western tip
of Barangay San Jose.
SLOPE
Being primarily flat, the lands of Calamba are subject to none to slight erosion.
There are three (3) types of terrain in the city: But, other of Barangays are the same.
Level to nearly level. Areas with slopes ranging from 0.0 to 2.5 and are ideal for
development. Barangays Bagong Kalsada, Banadero, Banlic,Bucal, Canlubang, Halang
, Lawa, Lecheria, Looc, Makiling and Masili are in these areas.
Undulating to rolling terrain. Areas characterized by slopes of 5.0 to 18.0.
Barangays Real, Sampiruhan, San Cristobal, and Sanjuan has undulating to rolling
terrain.
Rolling to moderately steep. Only the southwestern portion of San Jose has
rolling to moderately steep slope.
CLIMATE
Calamba has a tropical monsoon climate (type Am), with a short dry season and a
longer rainy season. The dry season lasts only from January to April, and the rest of the
year is characterized by high levels of rainfall. The climate of the area is characterised by
two pronounced seasons – dry from November to April and wet for the rest of the year.
Temperature and Humidity
Mean annual temperature is 27.6ºC and is relatively cool due to the site’s elevation
and favourable airshed condition. The warmest month is May with an average of 30.0ºC
while the coolest month is January with an average temperature of 25.0ºC.

Average relative humidity, the measure of the moisture content of the atmosphere
is 80% in Calamba. This makes the city fairly cooler than the Metropolitan Manila area
where average relative humidity exceeds 81.0%.
Wind Speed and Direction
Northeasterly winds prevail during the months of October through February. Winds
come from the southeast during March and April. Southerly winds prevail during May while
from June through September southwesterly winds prevail. The average speed of winds
is 5 kilometres per hour.
Rainfall and Rainfall Intensity
Annual average rainfall is notably 1,950 millimetres. The maximum rainfall occurs
in October while minimum rainfall is gauged at 2 millimetres. Though the municipality is
located in a region subject to typhoons, Santa Rosa is hardly affected due to protection
from the outlying mountain areas.
ECOLOGY
The City Government adopts a policy of growth with environmental integrity. The
ecological balance of the city shall at all times be maintained in order to achieve a
sustainable pattern of development.
Integrated ecosystem management of Mt. Makiling and Laguna de Bay is one of
the recommendations of the UPLB External Panel (2008) to promote inter-unit and
interdisciplinary research and development and to make UPLB as a leader in

environmentally-based education and research. Limited researches have been done that
comprehensively integrate the terrestial environment of Laguna de Bay at the landscape
level. Mt. Makiling-Laguna de Bay landscape consists of Bay subwatershed, Los Baños-
Makiling subwatershed, and the rest is part of San Juan Subwatershed and Laguna de
Bay, particularly the immediate influence area of this landscape. Calamba City, Los
Baños, Bay and Calauan are lakeshore city and municipalities while Sto. Tomas,
Batangas and Alaminos are inland municipalities. Inland and lakeshore flooding; floral
and faunal biodiversity, conversion of forest into farmlands and settlement in Mt. Makiling
Forest (MFR); garbage, sewage, animal and chemical waste pollution of the surface
water; introduction of invasive species into and loss of endemic species in the lake and
occurrence of fish kills; autonomous settlers in reparean zone; land development and
human settlement in the lakeshore below 12.5 elevation are some of the environmental
concerns of this landscape. The implementation of the Master Plan for Laguna Lake Basin
has not fully complemented by the Master Plan for MFR.
BUILD ENVIRONMENT
The city is a haven for industries. Considered as the heart of Calabarzon due to
the number of companies housed in its area, Calamba City is one of the premiere
industrial hubs outside of Metro Manila. Some of the industrial parks located in the city
are:

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Tricycles, buses, and jeepneys, are popular modes of transportation in Calamba.
There is also a PNR station in the city, namely as the Calamba railway station that will
serve as a terminal for commuters going to Manila.
The only expressway on Calamba is the South Luzon Expressway(SLEX), which
passes through the city with 3 exits. SLEX is part of AH26 up to Calamba Exit.
Main national highways includes the Maharlika Highway (Daang Maharlika) or
National Highway, which passes through the city and curves toward Santo
Tomas in Batangas, Calamba-Sta. Cruz–Famy Road (also called "National Highway")
links Calamba with Los Baños and Santa Cruz.

Other arterial roads includes Chipeco Avenue and Extension, which passes near
the city hall, Calamba–Tagaytay Road, a road leading to Tagaytay via the Tagaytay
Highlands, and Mayapa–Canlubang Cadre Road, a spur of Maharlika Highway serving
Canlubang and Canlubang/Mayapa Exit (Exit 47) .
Proposed expressways includes Calamba–Los Baños Expressway, which spurs
from SLEX Extension (Calamba Exit), traverses along Laguna de Bay and ends on a
national highway at Bay, and Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike, an expressway and
dike that will run on the coast of Laguna de Bay. The projects will cost an estimated ₱5.9
billion ($131.11 million) and ₱18.59 billion ($413 million).
There are three located in Calamba, Halang is for who going into City Hall in
Calamba. The SLEX Calamba Mayapa Exit is the entrance going to Calamba City and
Paseo De Calamba in Paciano Rizal is for the tourist want to going to Rizal Shrines, SM
Calamba and Rizal Monument in Plaza Calamba.
Road Networks
The road networks within the city are classified into national, provincial, city and
barangay. The total road length of Calamba is 143.5km, of which 16.5km are national
roads and 8.0km are provincial roads.
There are eleven major road bridges in the city located in Looc, San Cristobal, Bucal,
Mayapa, Pansol, Real, Parian and Banadero. Minor bridges interconnect adjoining
barangays and sitios. These are in Canlubang, Palo-Alto, Majada Labas, Sirang Lupa,
Lamesa Bunggo, Halang, Makiling, Pulang Lupa, Saimsim, Paciano Rizal, Sampiruha
and Uwisan.
Road Conditions
Most of the road in the city are concrete. Certain areas are asphalt and small
portion are either dirt or gravel surface. Nonetheless, all roads are passable all year round.
Even the bridges located in some barangays are passable anytime of the day.
Traffic Congestion
Cityhood has affected Calamba especially in the transportation sector as traffic
congestion has become a daily occurrence. Gridlocks ofthen occur along busy streets,
particularly in Barangays Mayapa AND Parian all the way down to the crossing are. During
summer time, traffic become almost unmanageable in Barangays Pansol and Bucal as
visitors rush to the various hot spring water resorts.
Modes of Public Transportation
Commuters going in and out of the city take advantage of the various bus line in
operation or those buses coming from nearby towns. Some of the existing bus companies
are St. Rose and JAM Liner, which have terminals in the Crossing Area in Barangay 1.
For passengers travelling within the city, jeeps and tricycle are the major mode of
transportation and are available anytime of the day.

UTILITY SYSTEMS
Communication concerns are managed by different agencies found in the city:
postal affairs rests on the Philippine Postal Corp. with three operating offices located in
Barangays. Canlubang, Mayapa and the main office located at the back of City Hall.
Telecommunications as well as internet connections are under the three major telecom
companies such as PLDT, Globe Telecom, Smart Communications and Sun Cellular for
Digitel. Aside from these, print and radio services are also present, with Calambalita
DZLN-AM and DZJV – a local radio station catering to the whole Calabarzon area.
A major part of the city is currently served by MERALCO, with two substations of
the company located in Brgys Mayapa and Brgy 1 facilitate the flow of power throughout
the entire city. All the 54 barangays are equipped with electricity, with only a few
barangays such as part of Canlubang, Pansol, Bucal and Lecheria under NAPOCOR.
A big part of the City is served by the Calamba Water District, providing water to
23,655 households, 1,238 commercial establishments and 53 public buildings. Most of
the city's water supply comes from the faucet community water system.
DRAINAGE AND GARBAGE DISPOSAL
The main receiving bodies of water for stormwater run-off in the city are the San
Juan River at the western boundary, the Diezmo and Cabuyao Rivers at the eastern side,
and the Laguna de Bay. A system of storm drainage systems in the urban areas,
residential areas and industrial estates convey runoff to these natural water bodies. These
consist of reinforced-concrete pipes, open canals (either lined or unlined), and reinforced-
concrete rectanqular culverts. Flooding is limited to tidal flooding in the lakeshore areas
and river overflows. An area of around 50 hectares within the Diezmo River Irrigation
System is prone to flooding.
Findings of the 2010 Site Investigation/Engineering Study for a Flood Control,
Combined Drainage Sewerage System for the Calamba Basin Project Interim Report, the
existing drainage system in the 18 barangays of Calamba City is a combination of circular
pipe and rectangular channel. Most of the system is closed and about 90 is pipe. Based
on the study, it reveals that most of the drainage structure are either insufficient to catch
surface run-off due to structures are damaged. This condition coupled with encroachment
of informal settlers along river banks resulting to flooding in the low lying areas. It was
also observed during the field visit of the Study Team on February 12, 2016 that
residential houses are found on the side of main canals.
In the recent study on "Participatory Watershed Land-use Management: An
Approach for Integrated Climate Change Actions" of the University of the PhilippinesLos
Banos and Institute of Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) of Japan, it is estimated
that the flood extent area of Santa Rosa City will increase by 22 percent in 2025, reckoned
from 2014 level, if the current urban development scenario is allowed to run its course
without intervention. This translates to 1,180 hectares of flooded areas, compared to 970
hectares in 2014. This projection is based on the rapid land conversion from agricultural
to residential and industrial, thereby increasing impervious areas.

POPULATION AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
The population of Calamba City is fast-growing with an intercensal growth rate of
5% from 1995 to 2000, repeated and more in subsequent decades (except for 2007 to
2010 census). According to the 2015 census, Calamba has a population of 454,486
inhabitants, making it the most populated town in Laguna province, followed by Santa
