From the Ecological Profile of Santa Rosa, they presented the long history of
the city, coming from a barrio of Binan to becoming a municipality during the
Spanish Occupation, during the Philippine Revolution and the American
Occupation, then the Japanese Occupation and after the war up to the present
bustling city, all of which as described in details below:
From those details of Santa Rosa history, the identity of the place has
been intact from being a municipality to a component city of the present.
B. Ecological Profile
1. Social
a. Demography
The average annual growth rate as of the last census duration (2010-
2015) was at 4.35% using the Exponential Method (EnP Lucino, MPM,
AICP), which is at 2.47% for the whole province of Laguna. This represents
3.58% growth rate, making it the 7th most populous city or municipality in
Region IV-A. From 47,639 persons in 1975, population data through the
years swings up to its present 353,767 and can attributed to favorable
economic development brought by the private sector making Santa Rosa
as an alternative location for businesses and residences other than
Metropolitan Manila.
There is slightly more female than male for a ratio of 49:51 or 96.07%.
An average of 6,376 inhabit per square kilometer of the city for its total land
Table 4. School-age population, 5-24 years old in 2010, and projected from 2015-2023
b. Health
The Santa Rosa Community Hospital (SRCH) was built in 1995 to meet
the health needs of its eighteen barangays, and its services can be availed
by neighbouring cities and municipalities. It is categorized by the
CHO-1 Mission: City Health Office I shall provide quality health services
to the well-informed people of the City through a multi-sectoral public
private partnership. Vision: Healthy and empowered Communities in the
City of Santa Rosa, Laguna

City of Santa Rosa, kindly refer to the 2018 Social Economic Physical
Profile. It comprises 74 pages. Refer also to the Health Profile under the
reports of the Santa Rosa Community Hospital which comprise 62 pages.
c. Education
All but three barangays have a public elementary school: Brgy. Ibaba,
Brgy. Malusak, and Brgy. Kanluran. Aside from the proximity of these
barangays to the poblacion where three central elementary schools are
located, they have also the least size in terms of land area.

For school year 2016-2017, total enrollment for Grades 7 - 10 in the City
Division was 16,220: 7,893 boys to 8,327 girls. Gender Parity Index is high at
The Gross and Net Enrollment Ratios show that there are many out of
school youth in highschool.
The City of Santa Rosa has an institution for tertiary education: the
Polytechnic University (PUP) of the Philippines Santa Rosa Campus. The
campus was founded in 2003 and it offers nine courses - Bachelor of Science
The City of Santa Rosa also has higher educational institutions which are
privately owned.

d. Land Use
The land use plan is actually an urban land use plan in consideration of
the fact that in the near future Santa Rosa City’s land area will practically
become one that is wholly occupied by urban uses, namely, residential,
commercial, institutional, industrial, tourism and infrastructural uses. This
means that agricultural and idle lands shall have been converted to the more
profitable urban land uses on account of the city’s rapid urbanization and its
role as a “new town” close to Metro Manila. (Local Government of Sta. Rosa,
2018)
The reason why only an urban land use plan can be formulated for
Santa Rosa City is the phenomenally rapid urbanization rate that has been
experienced by the city since 1980 up to the present. Its rapid growth owes
mainly to the fact that it is part of CALABARZON which was formed by virtue
of Executive Order No. 103 which was issued in 2002 for the purpose of
breaking up the large Region IV into two regional planning areas and assigning
development roles for each area. CALABARZON was assigned the role of a
Growth Corridor area to which
During the last 35 years, i.e., from 1980 to 2015, the urbanization rate
in Santa Rosa City has been very rapid as shown by the fast changes in urban
and rural land uses.
The general pattern is that, on one hand, the urban land uses
(residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and infrastructural) have
tended to increase. On the other hand, the rural land uses (agricultural, idle)
have tended to decrease, i.e., have tended to be converted to urban land uses.
This inexorable conversion of agricultural and idle lands to their highest and
best use, i.e., to urban uses, is the compelling reason why the kind of land use
plan that can be realistically formulated for Santa Rosa City is an urban land
use plan. Discussed below are the more specific changes that will reinforce the
decision to prepare this kind of plan.
Among the urban land uses, the residential land use has accounted for
the greatest increase, i.e., from the 6.29 percent (341 has.) for 1980 to 40.51
percent (2,247 has.) in 2015 of the city area. This demonstrates Santa Rosa
City’s assumed the role of a new town that absorbs population influx from the
surrounding rural areas and attracts into its suburban ambiance residents from
congested and polluted Metro Manila. Next in extent of land use change would
be industrial land use which has jumped from 1.88 percent (102 has.) in 1980
Plan 201: Theory and Practice of Planning | Group Guijo| Page 31
Santa Rosa City, Laguna:
Urban Context Analysis and Development Framework Examination
to 10.17 percent (564 has.) in 2005 of the city area. This has come about
because the factors of production (land, labor, capital, entrepreneurial skills,
technology) are available in the city, not to mention its accessibility and
proximity to Metro Manila. Infrastructural land use comes next in land use
change, i.e., from 1.73 percent (94 has.) in 1980 to 3.83 percent (212 has.) in
2015 of the city area. The land use change in this sector is mainly accounted
for by the transportation sub-sector’s continuing road expansion mode all over
the city. The commercial land use follows the related industrial land use in its
increasing coverage, i.e., it has been steadily increasing from 0.3 percent (16
has.) in 1980 to 2.73 percent (151 has.) in 2015 of the city area. The institutional
land use has likewise been increasing although the hectares is not as large as
the other land uses cited above; thus, there is an increase of 0.4 percent (22
has.) in 1980 to 0.9 percent (50 has.) in 2015.
Table 15. Land Use Change in Santa Rosa City from 1980-2015
Map 7. Land Use Map of the City of Santa Rosa, Laguna in 1980
The ten-year planning period is actually just right for the city in that it is
not actually very long for a fast-growing city like Santa Rosa, nor is it too short
that would necessitate more frequent and costly updating of the plan. After ten
years, during which period different spatial and socioeconomic demands and
realities shall have evolved, another land use planning cycle shall be
considered.
We start with the zonal value of land in the city as taken from the Bureau of
Internal Revenue. The City of Santa Rosa is part of Revenue District Office 57 -
Binan City, West Laguna. As per Department Order No. 11-15 on the 4th revision
and with effectivity dates April 10, 2015 up to June 12, 2019, the following zonal
values of each of the barangays of the city are below. We take note that since the
city is classified as 100% urban, agricultural lands are hardly encountered.
We take note of the efforts of the more prominent and pricey private developers
which bought and converted agricultural lands into commercial and residential
lands. They are the ones who would dictate the market price of their new properties,
and they are always higher than the zonal value set forth by the BIR. Nuvali in Brgy.
Sto. Domingo is still being developed by Ayala Land, and its current prices for land
per square meter can go up as high as 25,000 pesos with the corresponding zonal
value of 9,000. In the same barangay is housed the Villar properties that have zonal
values of 6,910 and 9,000 pesos. The real estate developers in the areas try to
provide everything residents would need in mixed-use developments near its
residential subdivisions: shops, malls, groceries, banks, offices, clinics, hospitals,
restaurants, and other such amenities. Another case in point is the ETON City in
Brgy. Malitlit that has similar current prices as the other developers, and the
corresponding zonal values are 9,250 or 11,000 pesos per square meter. In the
same barangay is Greenfield with more or less same zonal value and selling prices.
This goes to say that the barangays which are homes to new developments in the
City of Santa Rosa make the market value of land very high.
Sta Rosa City is first class city located in the province of Laguna at 121 6’
latitude and 14.19’ longitude and has a total area of 5,542 hectares. It is
bordered by Binan on the northwest, Cabuyao on the southwest, the province
of Cavite on the west, and by the Laguna de Bay on the northeast. (Maaghop,
Vergel, 2018)
The commercial, industrial and business area of the city is located on its
western portion, while the northern portion is occupied by residential areas and
its supplementing establishments such as schools, etc.
According to the 2018 report of the City Planning Office, Sta Rosa has a total
of 18 barangays – 3 coastal barangays near the Laguna Lake, 3 in the upper
land area, and 12 at low land area.
The city is almost entirely plain that 97.89% or about 5,429 hectares of its total
land area of 5,542 hectares is classified as level to nearly level lands. Only the
remaining 114 hectares is prone to slight erosion. However, the city is prone to
earthquakes with the Marikina Valley Fault traversing in its north-south
direction.
The two types of rocks that are found in the city are clastic and alluvium rocks.
On the other hand, there are four series of soil types found in the area. They
Plan 201: Theory and Practice of Planning | Group Guijo| Page 44
Santa Rosa City, Laguna:
Urban Context Analysis and Development Framework Examination
are Lipa series, Guadalupe series, Carmona series, and Quingus series, in
order of quality.
Just like the rest of the country, the two main seasons are dry and wet. The city
is dry during November to April with May being the warmest month, and wet
from May to October, with January being the coolest. The average annual
rainfall of the city is approximately 1,950 mm. Maximum rainfall in the city
occurs in October at gauged at about 2mm, though Santa Rosa is hardly
affected by typhoons thanks to the outlying mountain areas serving as a
protection to the city.
Its average temperature is 27.6 degree Celsius, which is relatively cool thanks
to its elevation. The humidity is also better at 80% compared to Metro Manila’s
81%.
The geologic hazards of the city include floods, earthquakes, and liquefaction.
Brgys. Sinalhan, Aplaya and Caingin, and portions of Tagapo, Ibaba, Labas,
Pooc, Dila and Dita are the area inside the floodplains which takes up to 302
hectares of the entire area of the city. As previously mentioned, earthquakes
are a hazard especially near Sta. Domingo area because of the West Valley
Fault. Liquefaction risk, on the other hand, is very high in Brgys. Sinalhan,
Aplaya, Market Area, Kanluran, Ibaba, Malusak and Caingin. Brgys. With
moderate susceptibility are Tagapo and Labas, while Pooc has moderate to
high susceptibility.
4. Environmental Condition
We also have the greenhouse gases from households as well as industries, not
to mention their solid wastes that are contaminating their groundwater, making
the potential of losing water resources in the coming years very high. All of
these combined, the city is at an even higher risk to the worsening effects of
climate change. Hence, the City Council came up with the City of Santa Rosa
Environment Code which is a framework to be followed by the City Government
to develop their Local Climate Change Action Plan.
a. Land
The projected waste generation of the city is about 186 metric tons per
day according to the findings of the WAC study in 2004 that the average
b. Water
Surface Water
There are two major bodies of water surrounding Santa Rosa. One is
Santa Rosa River that is sourced from the watersheds of Cavite. The
river is categorized by the DENR as class C, or only suitable for
aquaculture, fisheries, recreation, and extraction for industrial
purposes. According to the water quality study conducted for the
proposal of the Santa Rosa Business Park, “the Santa Rosa river
exhibited very good upstream quality but poor downstream quality.”
Another is the Laguna Lake, which is the largest lake in the Philippines.
The same as Santa Rosa River, the lake is mainly suitable for
aquaculture, fisheries, recreation, and extraction for industrial
purposes. Due to pollution from human activities (e.g raw sewage
discharged in the waterways that goes to the lake), the natural euphoric
and highly productive lake has been limited to the mentioned uses.
Based on the extensive and continuing study in the lake, “the
temperature stayed within allowable limits as did pH, dissolved oxygen,
biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, nitrate,
ammonia, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, chloride, oil
and grease, chromium, and copper.”
Groundwater
Beneath the city lies clastic and alluvium rocks that are known for their
good water veering abilities. However, the ground water quality in the
city has been compromised and is questionable due to their waste
disposal methods – open dumping of solid waste while liquid wastes
are discharged into bodies of water.
c. Air
Santa Rosa still does not have an Air Quality Management Framework.
However, to address air pollution problems, reduce emission of air
pollutants from stationary and mobile sources, and protect the health of
its people, an air quality management action is already in talks for
preparation by the CENRO.
Map 15. Showing Location of Malls Across the City of Santa Rosa
Aside from these, the city government is also preparing itself for the
development and implementation of a couple of infrastructure projects that are
set to meet the demands of the community. These projects include the Small
Plan 201: Theory and Practice of Planning | Group Guijo| Page 51

Water Impounding System, the construction of detention ponds to alleviate
flooding, the updating of the Santa Rosa Integrated Flood and Drainage
System Masterplan, the Optimization of Locations of Solid Waste MRF and
Colletion Stations, and many more. (Maaghop, 2018)

2. Social Development
The following are the identified issues and concerns under the social sector:
* It’s worthy to note that though the issues and concerns were identified earlier
in the CLUP they may be better placed in the CDP.
Poor Level III Water System Service. The Level III water system has a poor level of
service characterized by low to zero pressure during peak demand, high nonrevenue
water due to presence of leaks in pipes, and old and undersized pipes.
Groundwater Exploitation. Level I systems are not monitored and can lead to
groundwater exploitation. Based on the available 1998 data, groundwater extraction
has already reached 60 percent of the safe groundwater yield.
If left unchecked, the groundwater depths may increase resulting in higher pumping
costs and further ground subsidence. It can also lead to degraded quality of water for
the Level I system as articulated by participants during the 2012 Sectoral Analysis
Workshop. The respondents complained that water from the wells were already getting
dirty, taste different, and at times looked gray or yellowish as caused by the
Plan 201: Theory and Practice of Planning | Group Guijo| Page 61
Santa Rosa City, Laguna:
Urban Context Analysis and Development Framework Examination
contamination of water wells and tables and had likely caused an increase in
waterrelated diseases such as cholera, typhoid and diarrhea.
Lack of Sanitation and Toilet Facilities during Disaster Response. A special concern
for this infrastructure sub-sector is the lack of sanitation and toilet facilities during
disaster response as identified during the 2012 Sectoral Analysis Workshop. It was
noted that there was an increase in the number of families getting sick while in
evacuation centers.
Drainage Problem. Based on the study, it reveals that most of the drainage structure
are either insufficient to catch surface run-off due to structures that are damaged. This
condition coupled with encroachment of informal settlers along river banks results to
flooding in the low-lying areas.
Based on technical studies conducted by Japanese and UP Los Baños researchers,
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 uses, thereby increasing
impervious areas.
Need for LEED-Certified Government Centers. There is also a need for government
centers to become LEED-certified to set a good example in efficient energy
management.
Lack of Land for MRF. The main issue identified as far as solid waste is concerned is
the lack of land for MRF and pick-up stations. Residents complain when these facilities
are near their houses with the fear of diseases and bad odor and fumes.
Strategies in Settlements
● Vulnerable settlements particularly where there is the presence of a significant
number belonging to the vulnerable groups that cannot be relocated shall be
an operational community-based disaster management plan. It shall ensure
that women and other vulnerable groups are involved in the Hazard
Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (HVA) mapping and in the formulation
of the disaster management planning as well as in the conduct of Damage
Assessment and Needs Assessment (DANA) to ensure that their particular
situation and specific needs are considered.
● Residential use shall enjoy priority over all other uses in the allocation of
hazard-free areas.
Plan 201: Theory and Practice of Planning | Group Guijo| Page 62
Santa Rosa City, Laguna:
Urban Context Analysis and Development Framework Examination
● Development in hazard-prone areas shall be regulated, if restricted or
discouraged.
● Hazard-exposed settlements, urban and rural shall be located to safe areas.
● Vulnerable settlements that cannot be relocated shall have an operational
community-based disaster management plan.
● Multi-storey dwellings shall be sited in safe areas determined by scientific
studies, and for evacuation purposes during floods.
● Development in environmentally sensitive areas such as steep slopes shall be
limited.
● Regular monitoring and evaluation of structural quality or dwellings shall be
established in the city.
Strategies on Infrastructures
4. Environmental Management
The environment sector has been well addressed in the CLUP on Santa Rosa. They have
identified the constraints that might hinder the development of the city, as well as the
environmental problems its citizens are facing, and the risks they are exposed to, as a
consequence. They have also formulated new, and continued on old programs to address the
said problem. As previously mentioned, the Santa Rosa Environment Code as a form of
environmental protection, to counter the effects of the rapid urbanization. The city has also
drafted local ordinances to supplement to their already established environmental laws.
The table below shows the programs and projects generated during the City Planning
Office’s workshops with the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB). (City Planning
and Development Office, 2017)
Agriculture/Forestry-Agriculture

To address these constraints, Santa Rosa has put in place the Land and Water
Use Policies. They were among the workshop outputs by the stakeholders, based on
the preceding outputs of the situational analysis, with inputs from the other parts of
CLUP process, in particular, the vision development thrust and land suitability
assessment, physical strategy- cum-structure plan and comprehensive land use plan.
For Land Use Policies, these will also be reflected in the City Integrated Zoning
Ordinance.
1. Settle political boundary issues among barangays
2. Locate additional residential, future requirement in hazard neutral area
3. Minimize conversion of agricultural lands as part of CCA and DRRM
mitigation and for local food sustainability
4. Vertical development of public institutions are encouraged to maximize
land use and address future needs
5. Vertical development of private infrastructure are also encouraged to
maximize land use and address future needs
6. Protection of SAFDZ area and promote its use by instituting programs
suited for its use
7. Promote mixed use land in highly commercial areas such as lands along
major roads and others
8. Allocate land space on priority projects such as Pamantasan ng Lungsod
ng Santa Rosa, evacuation centers, new road networks, among others
9. Invest in land banking for public use
10. Promote pocket parks and recreation centers
11. Identify industrial areas based on use such as BPO industries situated in
I-2 areas and other companies in I-3 areas
12. Waterfront development to promote economic activity, land availability,
additional transport system (ferry boat) and tourism.

a. Introduction
In 1946, about 96 percent of the land area in Santa Rosa was devoted
to agriculture. Most people are farmers raising rice, corn and vegetables, sugar
canes, garden products, fruits of various kinds. Food production was sufficient
for actual needs but without reserve for contingencies. A lot of people raised
chickens, eggs, and pork from poultry and piggery projects. A few residents
engaged in commercial agriculture. Coffee farming was also done. Fishing was
carried on quite extensively in Laguna Bay waters. Until the late 1970s, Santa
Rosa maintained its role as a food producing municipality actively producing
and trading rice, corn, vegetables, livestock and fishes.
The general economic activity of the city is described by the actual land
use that took place. Land use implications of this became pronounced as more
agricultural areas gave way to industries, commercial and residences.
The Services sector dominates the economic activity in the city followed
by industry sector and agricultural sector respectively. The city was identified
by BPAP and DOST-ICTO as the 2nd Next Wave City in ICT (2017) and ranked
#100 by Tholons Consultants among all the cities in the world as the ideal BPO
location.

4. Environmental Management
The local government of Santa Rosa laid out very clear plans for the
environment sector. The LGU believes that every citizen should have access
to clean land, air, and water. They go as much as drafting their own
Environment Code by virtue of City Ordinance 1720-2011) in support of the
existing environmental laws, both local and national.
The environmental code of Sta. Rosa was specifically created for the
following purposes:
● An effective contribution in realizing the city’s vision and
mission.
● To implement the local government code’ mandate
● To let the city government lay out resolutions and ordinances
that aim to protect the government.
● To provide guidelines for all stakeholders in environmental
protections and managements
● To set up a mechanism in the implementation and monitoring of
the code
● To be able to establish a Public-Private Partnership for the
People, for the purpose of development, conservation, and
protection.
a. Air
Among the primary environmental issues relevant to air are the
increased vehicle volume, the lack of facility to monitor the city’s air ambient
quality, and the burning of solid wastes in open areas. The local government of
unit proposes various policy options and set goals to solve this as shown in the
following table.
Plan 201: Theory and Practice of Planning | Group Guijo| Page 128

Urban Context Analysis and Development Framework Examination
Table 31. Problem-Solution Metrix vis-a-vis Environmental Issues Related to Air
b. Land
Meanwhile, among the environmental issues related to land that
was discussed in the LGU’s CDP are the increasing number of solid
wastes generated, the mixed wastes that are still thrown at the
dumpsite, among others. The following table list down the problem
solution matrix for such.

c. Water
Santa Rosa also identifies a multitude of water-related environmental
issues. The CDP also provides a problem-solution matrix discusses the
most prevalent issues such as the clogging of drainage canals, and
waterways, the need for wastewater facility, and a lot more.

5. Institutional Development
The CDP contains a lot of developments for the institutional sector. Because of
the vision of Santa Rosa for an HUC level, the development efforts are focused
on attaining this status. And they put a lot of importance on the DILG award of
the seal of good governance. They also practise full disclosure of the city’s
finances on a quarterly basis. Maintaining these award of good governance
and full disclosure are on their development plans on a 3-year period. They
also anticipate the increased capacity on the government services, and the
need for more office spaces for the LGU are also planned.
The City of Santa Rosa has already established a good institutional strategy by
adopting a Quality Management System that was certified by an independent
third party ISO accredited company. The city is also awarded by the National
Government due to its exemplary compliance and implementation of exemplary
programs. The city was awarded with the Seal of Good LOcal Governance
(SGLG) in 2017. However, there are still areas that the city may improve on
such as defining barangay boundaries, strengthening the local planning office,
and the Santa Rosa-Silang Watershed Management Council collaboration.

D. Institutional Development
With the institutional development plans laid out on the CLUP and CDP, the
investment plans have proper project descriptions and financing are identified.
For this LDIP, they have 14 identified projects, with descriptions and financing
for 3 year periods.

E. Other Relevant Plans (DRRM Plan, Solid Waste Management Plan, Gender and
Development Plan, etc.)
1. Social Development
The City already established its state-of-the-art Command Center in the Market
Area. It was also successfully awarded with an ISO certification for its quality
management system. However, the command center is confined in the city
poblacion which is not quite accessible to other barangays. Its engagement with
stakeholders can further be strengthened by entering into formal arrangements
with them. The recurring issue of flooding in the city may be permanently
addressed by an integrated drainage plan and construction of water impounding
area.
Plan 201: Theory and Practice of Planning | Group Guijo| Page 216
Santa Rosa City, Laguna:
Urban Context Analysis and Development Framework Examination
The goals are:
● To update relevant GIS maps yearly and to regularly update the DRRM
database and Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment every three years.
● To reorganize City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (CDRRMC)
every 3 years and to conduct CDRRMC regular quarterly meetings.
● To partner with barangays, CSOs, NGOs, and private entities in CDRRM
planning and response and inform/educate them about the EWS / EWS mobile
system
● To enter into MOA/MOU of LGU (Local Chief Executive) with the banks,
cooperatives, micro finance institutions to extend calamity loans to the affected
community, MOA/MOUwith stakeholders relating to preparedness (excluding
the conduct of training), and MOA/MOU with other LGUs
● To conduct yearly infrastructure audit of public buildings
● To review accreditation of Accredited Community Disaster Volunteers (ACDV)
and provide insurance
● To comply with the CDRRMO personnel provisions of RA
● To have an approved and adopted 5-year CDRRM Plan (CDRRMP),
Contingency Plan and Communication Plan of CDRRMP
● To have a yearly training plan for stakeholders with allocated budget
● To have an approved Santa Rosa Integrated Drainage and Design Masterplan
● To Identify area, buy land, and construct a water detention pond.
● To establish satellite CDRRM units in strategic areas in the city
Subsector: Housing
Article 13 Social Justice and Human Rights Section 9 states that the State shall,
by law, and for the common good, undertake, in cooperation with the private sector,
a continuing program of urban land reform and housing which will make available
at affordable cost, decent housing and basic services to underprivileged and
homeless citizens in urban centers and resettlement areas. The city is committed
to delivering the housing rights of its constituents. The city has a dedicated
department (City Urban Development and Housing Office) to make sure that this
service is made available to its people. However, the availability of resources and
government land pose to be a challenge in the implementation of programs. This
issue is further exacerbated by the presence of numerous informal settlers and the
rapid growth rate in the city.
As previously mentioned, Santa Rosa City is exposed to hazards such as floods, liquefaction,
landslides, and erosion. Climatic events influence landslide and erosion hazards while earthquakes
influence liquefaction.

The adaptive capacity of Santa Rosa City to disaster risk vulnerability include the following:
● the city has 34 evacuation centers in the northern flood-prone half of the city. There are also
relocation/resettlement sites established by the LGU for the victims of flooding, soil erosion,
and landslides.
● Formation of Special Rescue Units (SRUs) and protective facilities
● Specialized adaptive capacity programs for senior citizens, PWDs, and problem children
● Enactment of City Ordinance No. 1720 of 2011 or the “Environment Code of the City of Santa
Rosa”
However, the city has yet to develop adaptive capacity and anticipatory ordinance related to the
liquefaction brough by geologic hazards such as earthquakes.

Institutional Arrangements for Disaster-Resilient Governance
Under the PD 1566, the existing City Disaster Coordinating Council will henceforth be known as City
Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (CDRRMC). It shall have the following functions:
1. Approve, monitor and evaluate the implementation of the LDRRMP and regularly review
and test the plan consistent with other national and local planning programs;
2. Ensure the integration of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into local
development plans, programs, and budget as a strategy in sustainable development and
poverty reduction;
3. Recommend the implementation of forced or preemptive evaluation or local residents, if
necessary; and
4. Convene the local council once every three months or as necessary
Along with this, is also the creation of Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office
(LDRRMO), whose officers will have to be designated for:
1. Administration and Training
2. Research and Planning
3. Operation and Warning
III. Conclusion
A. Economic Development
The economic stability of Sta. Rosa can be attributed to its inherit physical,
social, and environmental characteristics. It was interesting how the local government
were utilizing these characteristics and employ effective strategies through its CLUP,
CDP, and LDIP. These plans provide immense opportunities for growth not only for the
local government unit but also for its constituents.
B. Social Development
We see a City that has planned well for the welfare of its people with provision
of the basic social services: health and education, protection and further on planning
for the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, and for the housing needs of
the least privileged, and for its government employees.
The vision of the City of Santa Rosa is to be a green, smart, and sustainable
city. Such vision may seem challenging for a city that is gearing towards modernization
and industrialization, that is why there is a need for infrastructure projects that are
focused on making the city a better place for the citizens by improving transportation,
waterways and streetlights for a start. Most importantly, such projects should aim to
improve the overall public service through the public establishments built on each
barangay. These infrastructures are envisioned to be one of the means of improving
the city’s education, economy, health, and environment. The City Government of Santa
Rosa is wise enough to make sure that the projects approved will be contributing to
the holistic development of the city whilst following the Comprehensive Land Use Plan,
Zoning Ordinances, and Building Laws. Moreover, since the vision is to be a
sustainable city, the infrastructures should always have a positive impact not just to
the people but to the environment as well.
D. Environmental Management
The city of Santa Rosa does not only have a clear vision but a very proactive
action plan when it comes to environmental management. The fact that they drafted a
city ordinance as a supplement to the already effective local and national guidelines
can be considered as a huge step forward.
Furthermore, the city can serve as a good precedent for other urban areas or
municipalities within Laguna or within other provinces. The steps that they have taken
are very much worth emulating.
E. Institutional Development
The City of Santa Rosa has a very well planned development of their
institutional sector. You could see from the Vision Statement up to all the CLUP, CDP
and LDIP that they value much about keeping their high status on the institutional
development, including the participatory approach on developing the plans. They
maintain and develop their linkages with the national government agencies and all their
accredited private organizations and cooperatives. There is strong support on the
development of the local planning and development office to increase its knowledge
and capacity.
