LOCAL DEVELOPMENT ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

Rate of population growth in Caloocan City is increasing for the last ten years, much faster than its
economic resources. The effect of this uncontrolled growth of people results to high incidence of dire poverty,
increasing unemployment, flooding problems, waste management problems and traffic congestion. Moreover,
the extent of urban basic services, namely housing, school facilities and health services cannot cover the
requirements of the rapidly growing sectors of the population.
POVERTY AND UNEMPLOYMENT

In 2010, there are about 87,597 families in Caloocan City or 31.03% of the number of households that
are below the poverty threshold, estimated then at P 19,808.00. The threshold monthly income is the minimum
required amount to meet all the nutrition requirements and other needs of a household of six members. About
16.95 % of all poor families in NCR can be found in Caloocan City. Another important concern is the alarming
29.51% difference average monthly family income of about P 19,323 in Caloocan City, from the NCRs
average monthly family income of 25,025.00.

the minimum required amount to meet all the nutrition requirements and other needs of a household of five
members.

2011 - 2013
DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AND FLOODING

At present, there are about 23 hectares of land area suffering from intensely severe flooding that
causes risk to life and property, and large track of urban area experiencing seasonal inundation due to
inefficient drainage system and tidal floods. As of 2010, several thousands of families whose safety are being
compromised due to annual flush floods, lives along creeks and rivers and flood plain areas. Major causes of
severe floods in Caloocan City, mostly center to river overflow, excessive rainfall and inadequate channel
capacity. Generally, flat and low elevations of some portions are also prone to tidal floods particularly in
portions of Dagat-Dagatan Development Project. Among areas classified as flood disaster prone areas are
Maypajo (Isla San Juan) - Marulas Area, Portions of Dagat-Dagatan Area, La Loma Cemetery Wall, Libis
Baesa Area, Malaria-Barracks, and some subdivisions in North Caloocan City.
Another significant cause of flooding in Caloocan City is land development consequences. Rapid
development of urban settlements generally, in North Caloocan City, causes the replacement of vegetated and
forested areas with (concrete and other non-permeable) pavements. To the same extent, the notable
aftermath of urban development in the whole City, is the loss or reduction of natural waterways due to
8
reclamation blockage and the conversion of some natural streams into underground drainage (op. Cited).
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Recent report shows that the total solid waste collected in Caloocan City estimates to run up to more
than 718 tons per day or equivalent to 2,177 cubic meters. The continuous increase of volume of garbage
generated corresponds to the additional cost for collection and handling. Furthermore, uncollected waste
materials continuously contribute to worsening of flooding and outbreak of diseases.
TRAFFIC CONGESTION
About 19 intersections in South Caloocan City suffer from traffic congestion daily, especially during
peak hours. Vehicle volume increase is remarkably seen within whole stretch of Epifanio de los Santos
Avenue (EDSA) or C-4, those extents traversing Caloocan City. The intersection crossing the Bonifacio
Monument Circle (EDSA - Rizal Ave. Ext.), bears the highest daily AM and PM Peak Hour Traffic at 6,679 and
4,664 respectively, with the total daily volume of 59,886.
Intersections in North Caloocan City also sustain serious traffic problems and affects transportation
efficiency in general. Some of the intersection that stands congested during peak hours is Camarin - Old
Zabarte Road Intersection, Camarin-Congressional Road Intersection, Malaria Road - Quirino Highway, and
intersections at Bagong Silang Resettlement Project.
Among the number of causes of traffic congestion are narrow right of ways and sidewalks, inefficient
bus or jeepney terminal facilities, street and market vendor, poor pavement, inadequate Traffic Management
System (TMS), and inadequate road geometry.

INCREASING HOUSING NEEDS AND URBAN BLIGHT

The housing problem in Caloocan City as well as within the rest of cities and municipalities in NCR has
reached alarming proportions.
Urban blight and slum areas grow correspondingly with rate of housing shortage, wherein lack of
affordable housing result to squatting and thereupon leads to urban congestion and deterioration of
environmental condition of slum areas. The secondary problems that come from urban blights are the
worsening structural condition within, health problems, increase in crime and declining public order situation.
As of 2010, the City has an estimated number of 79,543 censused families who were living in danger areas,
government properties, road right-of-way (ROW) and private properties. The increasing number of these
settlers is brought about by rapid rate of rural-urban migration and intense poverty. There are several sites
from different parts of the City that suffers socio-economic problems due to effect of urban blight.
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES

The lack of valuable and critical social infrastructure, such as school and health facilities is one of the
foremost development concerns in the City. The increase of population definitely brings greater demand for
social service facilities.
For school year 2010-2011, enrollment in the public elementary level reached 155,158. These
students have to fit themselves in 1,477 classrooms with a pupil classroom ratio of 1:105 doubling the current
requirement ratio of 1:50. The enrollment further increases by 9.60% from the previous year.
The provision of adequate health facilities for underprivileged citizens of the City is likewise a critical
infrastructure issue. As of 2010 there were only 15 hospitals operating in Caloocan City, of which 3 are
government and 12 are private and a birthing home. One of the government hospitals is a special hospital for
psychiatric patients. The two government hospitals have a total of 447 beds for needy patients while private
hospitals have a total bed capacity of only 504. With the ratio of one bed for 1,551, Caloocan City has to build
additional hospitals to meet the standard requirement of one bed for every one thousand population. The 41
health centers also need reconstruction and upgrading to be able to meet the PhilHealth accreditation for OPB
(Out Patient Benefit Package) MCP (Maternal Care Package), and TB-DOTS (Direct observation Treatment,
Short-course).
Population management is among the critical factors in augmenting sufficiency of social infrastructure
and services within the City. In the last 20 years the development of resettlement areas and residential
subdivisions in Caloocan City brought thereupon an exceptional rate of influx of people from various parts of
the country. In 17 years, the annual growth rate increased from 3.56%, moreover, North Caloocan City
specifically shows a stunning average growth rate of more than 6.5% annually. Confronting this phenomenon
through application of appropriate prudent policy measures is becoming to be one of the biggest challenges for
the City Government.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Caloocan City contains all types of air pollution sources and types of air pollutants. A large number of
motor vehicles daily passing and queuing on major thoroughfares and various numbers of manufacturing
facilities operating within the City have been contributing air contaminants over the years. Motor Vehicles,
according to World Bank report, are the largest source of air pollution at 60% of the total pollution load, but the
bulk of particulate matter, is still re-suspended soil (or dusts).
Page 4
2011 - 2013
High concentration of Lead (Pb) is found in Monumento area, of which in excessive concentration on
human blood could cause neurological effects. The rise of concentration of motor vehicles on these areas
where gasoline cars are double the number of public vehicles contributes to the increase of lead level.
Caloocan City, among all of its river ways and creeks, shares water streams that are physically
apparent of contamination. Some of this natural surface drainage (which others are converted to canals)
indicates turbid water filled with garbage and refuse wastes. Some of the streams that suffer pollution
problems are Tullahan River, Saluysoy River - DDDP Peripheral Canal, Maligaya Creek, Casili Creek, Panaca
Creek, and some tributaries in North Caloocan City.
Sewage is also considered as the foremost surface water contaminant. With the expected increase of
Population of Caloocan City in year 2000, at about 1.35 million, the Citys populace shall generate about 47.25
tons/day (t/d) of BOD waste from domestic sewage.
INSTITUTIONAL PROBLEMS IN THE DELIVERY OF BASIC SERVICES

Delivery of front line services has also been a recent development concern in the City. For number of
years, institutional setbacks and constraints further aggravate the effect of usual fiscal resource problems in
local development administration. Major institutional elements contributing to the delay and inefficiency of
delivering local government services are clear definition of organizational roles, weak coordination, technical
and administrative capability, political stability, public participation in development, political boundary disputes,
and legislative support.
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

DECREASE POVERTY INCIDENCE AND REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
The City Government approach poverty problems under two strategic considerations: (1.) the amount and
the rate of household income, (2.) the level of living standard or ability to benefit from basic services.
Conditions affecting sufficiency of household income are availability of employment opportunities, capacity
to go into profitable enterprise and accessibility to commodities with reduce market price -- cutting household
expenditures. In response to the said conditions, the City Government shall provide measures to generate
employment, addressing needs of both employers and the active labor force. Likewise, development policies
shall also focus on development of micro-scale enterprises and formation of cooperatives which services could
secure the minimum daily living requirement of the urban poor.
Level of poverty is also a measure of level of living standard or the ability to access and benefit from basic
services available within the community. Policies, on this matter, should also center on the equitable
distribution and augmentation of valued infrastructure and institutional services.
UPLIFT LEVEL AND EXTENT OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE

SERVICES
Staking to expanded public capital investments is an essential approach in achieving sustainable
development. The problems of drainage waste management, traffic engineering, school and health facilities,
and housing, requires engineering solutions that are usually capital-intensive in type. However, policy
solutions such as land use control, promotion of community participation, information and education, among
others are supporting measures that are also necessary in accomplishing development targets.
Page 5
2011 - 2013
PROMOTE A LIVABLE AND ACCEPTABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENT

Advancement of an efficient land use pattern optimizes public capital expenditures, which in turn improves
private sector productivity. The uncontrolled growth of built-up areas brings urban blight, contributes to
propagation of slum areas, causes traffic congestion, misspends common economic resources such as time
and energy, and even leads to jeopardizing life and property.
DEVELOP INSTITUTION BUILDING MEASURES

Development planning and management are tools that require a strong and effective institutional
mechanism that will assure sustainability and success of local development. Plans must evolve on the
formulation of continuous long-term capacity building especially on areas of frontline services and
development administration. Team building, multi-sectoral consultation and capability upgrading are traditional
strategies that are important to involve in performing development works.
Page 6
2011 - 2013
II. INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITIES DEVELOPMENT

Urban growth in Caloocan City is plainly an integral fraction of the total regional development in
Metropolitan Manila. Location of various land using activities and intensity of urban problems are basic results
of complex socio-economic growth trends and public and private sector decisions transpiring not only within
few cities and Municipalities, but in the whole entire region. However, whatever is the direction of urban
expansion; various developments taking place in the City create manifold social and environmental illnesses
that need to be immediately addressed in the context of regional concerns and challenges. Similarly, to
achieve the long-term vision of the City Executive, that is the eradication of dire poverty, unemployment, and
crime, the need to employ development planning and growth management approaches is foremost on the
agenda of local governance. One of the measures essential in curving or minimizing negative environmental
and social impacts of urban development is the establishment of a physical framework plan through certain
growth strategies. Such requirement also becomes vital to rationalize urban growth in long-term period.
NEWLY CONSTRUCTED ROAD (BGY. 168)
RIZAL AVE. EXT. REHABILITATION
As a whole, the objective of physical growth strategy in Caloocan City is to manage development and
land using activities towards realizing a more efficient land use pattern for the City and the greater Metro
Manila area. The approach specifically hopes to achieve the following:
Minimize travel time and distances between dwelling and working areas as well as between
production and supply points of urban goods and services.
Implore among all sectors the protection, conservation, and enhancement of the urban environment.
Promote a more cost-effective provision of public infrastructure and facilities, which subsequently
optimizes the use of resources for local development.
DEVELOPMENT ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

Due to increase of vehicular traffic, road congestion has become constant everyday and everywhere in
Caloocan City (similar to rest of Metro Manilas Cities and Municipalities). The major reason for this congestion
is the need for more road infrastructure along with the required road maintenance management system.
Though government agencies constructed and completed a number of road improvement projects, still gap
between road supply and compounding demand for road use is broadening. Development of transport
infrastructure, management of intersections and transport corridors, road maintenance, missing links
between different major arterial roads, public education and enforcement of public transportation regulations
were seen as the foremost issues impeding road development and aggravating traffic condition on roads.
Equity in transportation services, especially public modes, is also a serious issue, since it directly affects the
accessibility of low-income road users to their workplaces. Areas that essentially account specific issues
affecting traffic congestion are on road development, public transport services, traffic management, and urban
development and land use.

2011 - 2013
ROAD AND TRANSPORT

GOALS
To provide equitable, sustainable and efficient road and transportation services that promotes public health
and safety, greater mobility of goods and services and development of local economy.
DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Foremost constraints that affect development of roads and transportation sector are;
Institutional capability to manage demand growth for more road infrastructures and transport services;
Funding and lengthy legal procedures in acquiring new right-of-ways;
Delayed implementation of on-going circumferential roads (primary arterial roads);
Increasing number of registered motor vehicles
More opportunities however are present to improve local transport and traffic situation.
First, is the increasing demand for additional jeepney and tricycle routes in different areas of the City
(as described under the preceding analysis), that assures viability of public transport operation.
Second, social acceptance of car-use restraint measure like the Unified Vehicle Volume Reduction
Program (UVVRP) serves as a suitable test program for future implementation of small-scale traffic
demand and restraint measures within Caloocan City.
Third, emerging urban development opportunities on different parts of the City requires construction of
new inter-modal terminal facilities.
Fourth, planning and frontline organizations of the City Government are improving on field of
information and database management systems.
Lastly, strengthening of links between government institutions and private organizations such as the
City Development Council because of frequent and regular consultations and coordination.
ROADS DEVELOPMENT
PROBLEM / ISSUES / CHALLENGES
Inadequate road network connectivity and linkages between national and city roads
Most NCR cities and municipalities including Caloocan City need a long-term road network development
program that would improve its road connectivity and linkages. National agencies, namely DPWH, DOTC and
MMDA, recently prepared a master plan for the construction of primary arterial roads such as urban highways
and expressways; of which LGUs should subsequently augment with long-term plans for City road network
development and road improvement. The said plan would consist of proposals for priority road and traffic
engineering projects, including investment or funding program for 10 to 20 year horizon period.
Need for a suitable operational policy, system, procedures, technique, in evaluating priority road
projects
Road system of cities and municipalities are classified according to political and administrative jurisdictions
such as National, Local and Barangay roads. Most LGUs do not give enough attention to functional
classification of roads in prioritizing road projects. Recent studies (MMUTIS) recommend the hierarchy (or
order of importance) of road system as one of the major consideration in planning and ranking of future road
projects. Functional classification of roads includes definition of which are arterial (primary or secondary),
collector, or local granting various conditions, such as volume capacity, type of transport modes serve, and
other road characteristics.
Page 8
2011 - 2013
Delay in the implementation of Circumferential Roads (C-3 & C-4)
Most of the major road projects administered by DPWH-URPO, such as C-3 and C-4 roads encounter undue
delays in implementation due to legal and financial constraints. The slack in implementing these projects
causes further traffic congestion since current road space requirements are not readily met.
Increase in peak hour traffic density (decreasing level of service) on some local roads and intersection
due to its dilapidated physical condition.
Common observation indicates that many roads endure higher traffic density and long queuing of vehicles
partly caused by its poor pavement and drainage conditions. In response to the issue, local engineers would
soon implore more effective road maintenance system including capability upgrading of their technical staff.
Means to optimize use of total budgeted funds for road projects also has to prosper to approach the problem,
alongside with the development of in-house management capability of local implementing departments
(more number of projects are recommended to be done by administration).
OBJECTIVES / TARGET SETTINGS

To develop viable road network linkages between various arterial roads or national roads from at least
six (6) existing roads
To formulate a five (5) year master plan on policies and objectives, plans and program, techniques,
procedures and practices on road project planning, programming, and implementation of future road
networks.
To implement road improvement projects that would increase level of existing road services (or to
decrease traffic congestion/ density)
To improve pavement and drainage condition of at least 80% of existing City Roads needing repair and
maintenance
To improve pavement and drainage condition of at least ten (10) National Roads
To improve the administration, coordination, supervision and control over planning, designing,
construction, maintenance, and repair of roads, bridges and other local engineering and public work
projects.
To improve capability of the line agency (City Engineering Dept) in delivering in-house support
services through acquisition/ installation of electronic database system for project management
applications, acquisition of various units of heavy equipment, and digital survey equipments
POLICIES / STRATEGIES
Preparation, promotion and operation of a comprehensive road development program shall be the
mainstream policy and strategy in the development of all road infrastructure in the City
Improvement of Citys existing local and national road with opportunities to expand road network
connectivity shall be the priority road project on the Citys annual investment plan.
Functional classification (role and importance of each road), demand characteristics and network
capacity (population serve and future traffic volume); shall serve as principal consideration in priority
ranking of all proposed road projects
Planning and implementation of road improvement projects shall give attention to
extending the economic life span of roads prudent use of available capital resources;
effect reduction of vehicle operating costs (VOC); and journey time towards immediate road users
promotion of public, health, safety and convenience
The City Government shall promote policies and measures concerning participation of academic and
financing institutions and other organizations on providing technical assistance to its local implementing
agencies on planning, budgeting, programming, and implementation of local infrastructure projects

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Deficiency on public transportation routes and ancillary facilities
Operation of buses, jeepneys and tricycles (motorcycle with sidecar) in MMA are complementary rather than
competitive. Most areas are provided with relatively better transportation services than before. SUV Taxis on fixed
route has been rapidly increasing due to growing demand for a convenient mode of journey. However, large areas
within the City are not being served even by fixed-route, low-fared jeepneys. Tricycle services (Para-transit vehicle)
charges higher than jeepneys since it provides door-to-door transportation for commuters.
Inefficiency of a number of public transport drivers in giving adequate and convenient transport services
caused by their frequent traffic violations, over-charging and cutting trips
Behavior of some drivers, commonly of jeepneys and tricycles, follow the usual problems of frequent traffic violations
and poor service, such as over-charging and cutting trips. Cooperation of transportation groups and operators with
local traffic enforcers is essential to respond to the said problems. As part of productive measures for these problem,
the City Government could provide other support services to drivers and operators by mobilizing transport groups on
forming cooperatives, training on road courtesy and safety, and constructing community facilities (offices and
multipurpose hall) for transport groups.
Shortage of commuter transport vehicles during emergencies and calamities
In numerous man-made emergencies (such as transport service stoppage or strikes) and natural calamities,
shortages of transport vehicles are common dilemma for commuters. The multi-sector committee of the City
Development Council (CDC) recommends that LGU must provide high occupancy vehicles like buses for stranded
commuters as among its emergency response measure to augment demand for emergency transport. Most of
disasters whether man-made or natural (e.g. typhoons, earthquake, fire spread, chemical accident, etc.) causes to
block roadways and bridges, and damage utility lifelines, prompting the City Government to further prepare future
emergency rerouting plans in case these accidents or emergencies happened.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
Imbalance traffic demand and supply Current volume of traffic is more than the existing road capacity
The number of person trips is projected to grow by 1.73 times from 1996 to 2015. Computed per year, trip
volume currently increases in an average of 0.09 times per year. Generally, recent findings show that traffic
load on roads will increase twice its capacity due to growth of private modal share. Traffic volume is expected
to exceed road capacity by ratio of 1.3 and can reach up to 4.0 in 15 years if nothing will be done (MMUTIS,
1998). Number of cars in the metropolitan region is expected to increase abruptly in the future due to increase
in income level as well as population. Accordingly, Caloocan City is expected to experience negative effect
from car volume increase. Latest LTO-Caloocan City report on number of registered vehicles shows a
significant increase of vehicle registration from 1998 to 2006 at 9,700 units. Critical areas foreseen to sustain
traffic volume increases, due to growth of private modal share, are districts within vicinities of A. Bonifacio
Monument, EDSA and Rizal Avenue Extension. Moreover, most residential areas within North Caloocan, with
its growing population, are likely to bear the same condition. According to MMUTIS reports, residential areas
has the most number of travel demand (47% of the total) followed by educational facilities (18 to 19%). To add,
those who belong to car-owning households make more trips than non-car owning households.
Need for a more systematic (scientific) means of solving traffic problems such as use of traffic surveys
or traffic database in forming traffic solution (MMUTIS, 1998)
Recurring Traffic congestion is also caused by lack of systematic approach in forming traffic management
solutions and deterioration of traffic engineering devices. There is also deficiency of central planning database
leading to conflicting results of planning exercises. Local and national planning agencies manage own sets of
data; thus, information forecasts are based on different measures and assumptions. However, the City has
enough databases on records of jeepney and bus routes, including particulars on tricycle and pedicab
operation, but needs periodical updating. Traffic impact studies must be conducted periodically including public
transport surveys, traffic volume surveys and parking surveys.
Traffic congestions cause from Increasing traffic density, queue time approaching major intersections
and deterioration of traffic engineering devices and delineators (traffic signals, curbs, medians,
pavement markings)
A number of major intersections show noticeable higher density of vehicle on all legs mostly during peak hours.
Traffic congestions are common on said intersections that results delay in travel time and long queuing of
vehicles. The UP-NCTS recently sponsored the Small-Scale Traffic Improvement Measure Study (STRIMMS)
that assesses condition of problem intersections within NCR (including three intersections within City of
Caloocan) through daily observation and traffic volume survey. The STRIMM recommended viable traffic
engineering solutions like geometric improvements and putting in pavement markings / traffic delineators on
their target intersections and suggest to continue on to perform the same assessment by the City Government
on the rests of the Citys junctions.
Commuter safety requirements for more loading / unloading sheds, loading bays, and street lights
along major roads
The CDC multi-sector committee identified declining level of road safety as an important issue under the roads
and transportation sector. A transport cooperative group recognizes the deficiency of commuter loading and
unloading facilities and not enough street lamps along roads as one of the serious problem that commuters are
facing with. Riding public almost always waits for their ride at any part of the road and in time endanger their
safety from rushing vehicles. Concerned groups from the recent CDC consultations reaffirm the need to assess
jeepney and bus routes and identify specific areas where waiting sheds for commuters, as well as needed
streetlights, can be immediately installed.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT LAND USE

Negative impact of large-scale commercial development particularly increase on traffic density
(pedestrian & vehicle) and demand for a more suitable intermodal- terminals and locations
Current large-scale urban development, such as malls and department stores generate trips and induces
heavy increase in pedestrian and vehicle traffic volume. For the whole of Metropolitan Manila, commercial trips
account only 2% of total trip purpose. However everywhere, several shopping malls usually serve diverse
services and amenities that attract large volume of shoppers, since mall services accommodate supermarkets, cinemas, fast foods and office spaces. Andres Bonifacio District has similar commercial centers that
attract shoppers daily. On the other hand, the City Government has to give careful attention to planned
development of North Rail, South Rail, and LRT Line 7, all terminating in the City that will soon generate
investments on terminal facilities at different transit points. All areas surrounding these developments require
workable transportation and traffic management plan that will serve as blueprint for future related projects and
programs.
Most intersections in Caloocan City experience typical terminal problems. Consequently, provision of
appropriate inter-modal facilities and traffic management system in these future terminals is needed. Based on
MMUTIS studies, key issues in developing terminal center on three particular extents. First, considerations
should focus on the role of the public sector, in dealing with the importance of terminal construction and the
restriction of provincial bus from entering CBDs. Public sector concern also focuses on the delineation of
governments part (including the role of the City Government) in terminal development, and the capability to
Page 16
2011 - 2013
forecast future traffic situation and to coordinate with terminal developers. Second concern is the feasibility of
building terminal in built-up areas, and lastly, application of appropriate approaches needed in station planning
surrounding LRT and MRT terminals
Widespread illegal parking on several roads due to lack of parking areas of some buildings
MMUTIS study considers parking as not a serious problem in the metropolis. However, compliance of buildings
on parking rates provided under the National Building Code deserves valid attention. The non-compliance of
some buildings, for required parking slots effects problem on traffic, since unmet parking demand results to
unacceptable number of on-road parking. In major thoroughfares like Rizal Avenue Extension and EDSA,
parking of vehicles at sidewalks is a common observation. Problem crops when pedestrians are impaired of
their walk trips, and as they shift toward roadway they eventually obstruct vehicle flow.

Incidence of illegal parking on several roads due to lack of parking areas of some buildings
MMUTIS study considers parking as not a serious problem generally within Metropolitan Manila. However,
many buildings in Caloocan City do not comply on parking requirements provided under the National Building
Code. The deficiency for required parking slots on number of buildings effects problem on traffic, since it
always causes road-side parking that obstruct free flow of vehicles. In major thoroughfares like Rizal Avenue
Extension and EDSA, parking of vehicles at sidewalks is a common observation. Problem crops when
pedestrians are impaired of their walk trips, and as they shift toward roadway they eventually obstruct vehicle
flow.
Page 17
2011 - 2013
Poor accessibility of buildings and roadways for specially disabled and elderly persons
Studies find traveling of disabled and elderly persons within the metropolis not very strenuous. Nevertheless,
the result speaks more of the lack of awareness of the disabled and elderly in their rights for a convenient and
safe travel on roads. To correct the problem, sidewalks need geometric improvements such as ramps for the
disabled and probably employment of new pavement designs for visually impaired pedestrians.
Encroachment of buildings on portions of sidewalks and roadways
Some portions of major thoroughfares show encroachment of either building structures or fences. The intrusion
of these structures on roads or in sidewalks obstructs pedestrian and even affects traffic flow. Recent inventory
of roads either major or collector warrants immediate response including all obstructions on right-of-ways.

To formulate and prepare plans, policies, and strategies to manage congestions on surrounding
commercial areas
To promote compliance with current building / zoning regulations that affects public health and safety
such as lot setbacks/ easements, open space ratio, parking requirements, and accessibility.
All planned policies of the City Government on urban planning and urban management shall promote
the Integration of transportation and urban development as a mainstream strategy in the improvement
of commercial growth centers
The City Government shall promote policies and measures concerning participation of business sector
in developing central business districts.

DRAINAGE AND FLOOD CONTROL

GOAL
To mitigate effect of flooding to life and property and save significantly on cost of damages from future floods,
1
through integrated , systematic and viable development and implementation of drainage infrastructure
sewerage and waterways improvement plans and programs.

1. Need for the preparation of a viable and operational Comprehensive Drainage Master Plan
The City Engineering Department recently drafted a proposed drainage network improvement plan that
indicates the exact location of future drainage lines in the City. However, the said Department recommended
for further spearheading engineering study on the current drainage condition of the City that includes tide
monitoring, actual run-off volume measurements and drainage capacity assessments. The study shall
eventually serve as reference for the design of future drainage system.
2. Decreasing capacity of natural surface drainages due to siltation cause by natural erosion of slopes
along rivers and unstable condition of riverbanks
Reports determine that erosion, and landslides at critical slopes, particularly in North Caloocan, periodically
occur especially during rainy season. The rising number of local population and pace of land development
reduces open spaces with vegetative cover, and eventually causes large volume of surface run-offs bringing
along topsoil along riverbanks and eventually reduces capacity of natural surface drainages. In installing
appropriate flood control measures, drainage engineers has to give consideration in stabilizing first critical
slopes along rivers.
3. Frequent flooding at low-lying areas due to Inadequate capacity of drainage system at coastal flood
plains (DDDP) and roadways, missing waterways and concrete covering of creeks and rivers
The volume of water flow on rivers and drainage system, more than its full capacity is whats normally called
flood flow. Even without excessive rainfall, flood occurs in the City because of inadequate capacity of existing
drainage and waterways. The said problem also affects quality of surface waters (turbidity, decline of DO level)
due to long past backfilling and flow diversion of creeks and rivers (mostly on subdivision development), along
with concrete covering of existing waterways (usually done through number of Barangay projects). Observation
also shows that existing channels or creeks constrict from their original width. These type of drainage problem
compounds flooding and require construction of additional drainage network system to compensate the loss of
original capacity.
4. Un-coordinated diggings, on all construction of roads, utilities, and drainage projects
Daily observation indicates that periodical digging and other projects doing excavation contributes to the
sedimentation of drainage channels. The coordination and scheduling of all these projects require solution
through adaptable management and coordination system at local level.
5. Untreated sewage and absence of Sewage Treatment Facility
The disposal of domestic sewage on storm drains causes pollution problem and heavy concentration of
residues at drainage channels. During consultations with the CDC TWG / functional committee, City Engineer
reported that existing Sewerage Facility in Dagat-Dagatan do not exactly serve Caloocan City making all
sewage discharging from septic tanks do not pass through any treatment facility.
/NOTE: Drainage plans are integrated with other local, regional and national plans on infrastructure and utilities,
Page 19
2011 - 2013
6. Need to conduct survey of boundaries along legal easements of Natural Surface Drainages (Creeks and
Waterways)
The CDC TWG Functional Committee recognizes that most existing rivers particularly in North Caloocan City
seemingly do not have any survey record on DENR Bureau of Land that would guide developers and lot
owners in developing their properties containing streams of waterways. The issue causes diversions of existing
streams of waterways along or under roadways, constructing concrete culverts, and eventually reduces the
drainage capacity of the drainage system.

The primary objective of flood control is to minimize as much as possible, the loss of life and property,
attributable to incidence of flood. Flood control is not an absolute prevention that results to the complete
absence of flood, but rather a measure that reduces damages caused by this flood. Flood control is simply a
mitigating measure, characterized according into structural and non-structural standards and designs. In case
of Caloocan Citys drainage condition, structural measures recommendable include various flood embankment
infrastructures, and channel improvements such as river dredging and construction of cut-off channels. Nonstructural measure, such as zoning requirements and reduction of flood run-offs, are also feasible approaches
in controlling flood damages. Zoning regulations and building zoning plans provide regulations that preserve
right-of-ways for future drainage channels. Run-off reduction on the other hand, is usually comprised of land
treatment measures such as vegetative cover, terracing and contour plowing, and construction of various
water retention ponds among others.
Based on above concepts, the CDC TWG Functional Committee resolved to pursue within the following
three (3) year planning period the following objectives:
To prepare drainage and sewerage master plan / flood control program for long-term development.
To stabilize embankment along all major river systems
To improve channel capacity of all drainage lines needing improvement and remove all type of
obstructions along natural drainage
To improve coordination with DPWH and Utility Companies on construction of drainages and
underground utility lines

Master Plan

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
High level Particulate Matter or soot and dust on traffic congested roadways and industrial areas
Valenzuela monitoring station consistently indicates high level of particulate matter that can cause upper
respiratory illnesses to local populace, if blown by northeasterly winds during dry season. It is also important to
identify which type of industry in the City emits high level of sulfur dioxides and other industrial gas emission in
order to enforce appropriate measures. One positive approach that can be adopted is through promotion of
energy saving measure. According to a study, SO2 emission in a steel factory can be reduced to 33%through
employment of energy saving steps; by 42% through conversion to a fuel with lower sulfur content; while endof-pipe solutions (pollution control equipment such as scrubbers, EPs and filter bags) contributed only a
reduction of 25%.
Contributing role of motor vehicles in the increase of air pollution loads
Public transportation such as diesel-powered jeepneys, buses and taxis can cause serious particulate air
quality and black smoke problems on all the citys major streets.. One type of Travel Demand Measure (TDM)
Page 21
2011 - 2013
that can mitigate air pollution is the promotion of transportation modal shift from private to public mode, which
subsequently, reduces use of cars. However, achieving reduction car-volume ratio includes the development of
an attractive public transport system and effective inter-modal facilities, similarly, integration of parking facilities
near MRT and LRT terminals.
Contamination of rivers and creeks
Sewage and thrown garbage are the foremost contributors of pollution loads in rivers and creeks. The condition
of natural surface drainage, causes further contamination of water resulting to health problems and diseases.
To add, the unprotected condition of riverbank on some river system aggravates river pollution, due to soil
erosion and occupation of informal settlers. Frequent river cleanup drive and desludging of septic tanks will
quickly solve this type of pollution problem.
Absence of Database on Water and Air Quality
Currently, due to lack of database on water and air quality prevents the city government does not have the
means to determine the extent of air and water pollution within the city and eventually cannot recommend
further effective solutions to the problem.
Adaptability to Climate Change
There is a need for the city government and other line agencies, private sector to find ways to mitigate effect
and impact of climate change.
Land subsidence due to over-extraction of groundwater causing the increase of mean sea level and
tidal floods
Studies made by UP Marine Science Institute has shown that the Caloocan City particularly Monumento area
has the highest subsidence of about 1.46 meters for the past years. The continues excessive use of wells as
source of water was found to be the main cause of depletion of groundwater table causing land subsidence.

To control air pollution source and mitigate increase level of Suspended Particulate Matters (SPM) or
soot and dust.
To reduce pollution loads and restore natural condition of local river systems.
To establish an efficient and effective local environmental management system that includes
participation of local agency and non-government organization
To support the greening program of Caloocan City in compliance with Executive Order No. 26 s. 2011

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Solid Waste Generation

Rising volume of solid waste
Solid-waste generation-rate within Caloocan City is estimated to run up to 613.9 Tons per Day(TPD) or
224,000 Tons per Year (TPY). Converted into volume, the city is estimated to accumulate 2,178 cubic meters
of garbage per day or 794,790 cubic meters per year. The rising volume of garbage requires proportionate
added investment on waste collection and disposal.
Enforcement of system of segregation and residual collection of hospital, industrial and commercial
waste. .
Metro Manila Ordinance No. 16 classifies hospital wastes into a.) dry wastes which are non infectious; b.) wet
waste which are domestic type from hospital kitchen;, c.) sharps, d.) clinical wastes; e.) pathological wastes; f.)
chemical wastes and g.) radioactive wastes. Enforcement of the ordinance is being monitored by the Health
Operations Center (HOC) of MMDA, and there is no particular record of compliance of Hospitals within
Caloocan City. Nevertheless, proper collection of this type of waste is still not working under the current, solidwaste-collection-system, since there is no intermediate treatment (such as incineration) available to deal with
special wastes. Other waste segregation scheme for special wastes from commercial and industrial
establishment is not encouraging, since these wastes are usually mixed with ordinary domestic waste at final
disposal
Refuse Collection Efficiency

Collection system is not capable to serve currently unassigned collection routes (inner roads).
Areas with narrow access roads are normally without any collection assignment and resorts people to throw
their garbage on creeks and rivers. Plans in this case must focus on community-based approaches in waste
collection and recovery where door-to-door collection is served through use of carts and intermediate disposal
is assigned to a transfer collection station.
Refuse collection commonly deviates from the assigned collection route boundaries and sequencing of
collection routes appears to be without any planned pattern.
Collection routes are actually fixed casually and do not have proper plans and route that can speed up
collection shifts. Municipal waste collection is more efficient if done through station to-station rather than doorto-door, under fixed collection schedule, and with proper notice for each household.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES

COMMUNICATION
POSTAL SERVICES
Large gap between required and existing number of mail centers
Standard ratio of postal center should posts to one per barangay. The lack of postal station in strategic
locations impedes communication, particularly on handling and sending printed matters, bills and other
important parcels not suitable for other mode of communications.
Lowering ratio of letter carrier to population
The total estimated requirement of 311 or 1 mail carrier per 5,000 population is not being met in the
CAMANAVA area. At present there are only 75 letter carriers serving the whole Caloocan. The inadequate
number of letter carriers further slows the postal communication services. The tightening access to this type of
communication serves as drawback for the low-income group who cannot afford to maintain other mode of
communication such as telephone. Including electronic mailing and travelling.
Lack of appropriate House numbering system
To the same extent, house-numbering system in Caloocan City affects capability of mail delivery services.
Some houses or structures still bear old numbers or do not have house numbers at all. The absence or lack of
effective house numbering system cause great disability, particularly to low-income groups who rely strongly on
postal delivery as their means of communication.
Several roads do not have street names
Along with house number, the absence of street signs in some roadways notably in alleys weakens the
opportunity for any community to be bills and notices or even by their folks and guests. Some important streets
although, sustain the same problems and cause much hardship to travelers unfamiliar with the place. The
basic marking and maintenance of signs and directions of locations in Caloocan City, for whatever purpose it
may serve, is often than not neglected, and subsequently impedes flow of communication and causes
inconvenience and loss of opportunity.
TELECOMMUNICATION
Deteriorated physical condition of some telephone lines and vandalism of panel boxes
The PLDT recognizes physical condition of some telephone poles as one of their installation problems.
However, PLDT Company is able to plan the complete restoration of these poles in the near future. Some
telephone lines dangle at low heights and remain an issue on safety of telephone installation. Problems include
deteriorated poles inside side streets not identified by PLDT.
Damage cause to underground lines due to uncoordinated digging activities of other agencies
Another management problem in telephone services is damages caused by digging activities to PLDT lines.
The damage often causes wide and long hour failure of telephone signals in some area. The deficiency of
coordinating all diggings and excavation projects in the City are worth critical attention, since it can cause
serious problems in the long run.

WATER SERVICES
Administrative problem of local water districts and regulations on the transfer of management to MWSI
Local Water district is currently operating in North Caloocan, particularly Bagong Silang Waterworks System.
The operation and maintenance of this type of utility service is known to bear numerous problems such as type
of charging and billing, costly maintenance expenses and administrative capability of work force.
Over extraction of groundwater resources and groundwater pollution resulting to saline water intrusion
and ground subsidence
Ground water source condition including quality needs further monitoring and study. In a fast pace
development, where there is increase of area of paved soil surfaces, recharging level of ground water becomes
unstable and consequently, excess run-off increases in volume.

To expand operation and service of the local water district according to provided standards of MWSI
To provide viable water supply system to underserved areas in North Caloocan
To conduct assessments on the viability of asset or management privatization of local water district
To avert and mitigate effect of land subsidence
Policies in improving utility services should focus on the equitable distribution of basic support services
among all sectors and restraint on ground water extraction
Utilization, Conservation and development of alternative source of water such as rainfall harvesting,
shall be included in all policy direction of the water sector.

POWER SERVICES
Power pilferage in some communities and lack of information in the proper and lawful installation of
power service connection.
The wide difference between residential customers and total number of households marks not only the
prevalence of multiple household dwelling system, but also the potential use of power service in absence of
any authorized service connection. The problem, according to MECO, is caused by deficiency of information on
legal power connection to households needing power services. Some of these households, to add, are informal
settlers with no rightful ownership or rights to dwell in their residences, which prevent them in securing
legitimate electric services.
Poor physical condition of some areas
Some barangay officers report presence of power poles posting hazard to the public. The risk of continuously
maintaining these poles may result to serious accidents especially during typhoon calamities or any incident
that can cause their possible fall. Proactive measures should apply on these hazard problems to prevent future
loss of life and property.
Page 30
2011 - 2013
PROBLEM / ISSUES / CHALLENGES (cont.)

Updating of inventory of streetlights and priority street lights installations on major roads
One typical problem in any utility management is the deficiency in keeping database information. Part of this
problem is the lack of inventory update of all streetlights and power poles particularly on their exact location
and condition.

To provide administrative assistance to MECO in the enforcement of Anti-Electricity and Electric
Transmission Lines, Materials Pilferage Act (RA 7832)
To integrate information dissemination of anti-pilfering laws and information on the process of securing
MECO power service into barangay
To prepare integrated database system on all utility services, to include power sector actual location
and condition of power facilities, priority areas for socialized electrification and public facilities with
power service account problems.
The City government shall prepare and provide information material on power sector to all barangays.
All concerned agencies shall conduct massive campaign on all types of power pilfering.

V. INSTITUTIONAL / ADMINISTRATIVE DEVELOPMENT

Taking off from the strengths of the previous plans, as
well as learning from their weaknesses, the City Government
continues to bring every sector of the community in formulating
and pursuing an extensive institutional development program.
This will support its competence and potential in carrying out
effectively a more responsive public service. The business
sector, civil society and government are treated as productive
collaborators in the implementation of this vision.
The
development process will involve the improvement of revenue
generation, development and investment planning, programming
and budgeting, performance assessment, and to further
enhance the overall capability of the City Government to
manage the entire socio-economic development process.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
EQUITY. All institutional policies, strategies, programs and projects must improve the quality of public
service delivery and must lead to a more equitable distribution of opportunities brought about by progress
and development. The various sectors of the society (government, business sector, civil society) will
equitably share the burden of moving further the city in facing the challenges of global competition,
notwithstanding the provision of opportunities for all men and women to improve their well-being.
EFFECTIVENESS AND RESPONSIVENESS. The City Government shall focus on doing what it does best
and let go of activities that it should not be doing. It shall seek to deliver intended results with the least
unintended consequences, to effect a more systematic distribution of resources to its constituents. Under
the present leadership, the government shall steer the city by providing a clear and coherent policy
framework. It will be resolute and consistent with the activities it will take to perceive that basic services
are being provided are those needed by the community and the stakeholders.
EFFICIENCY. Service delivery mechanisms and processes shall be carried out cost-efficiently by the city
government, the civil society, the business sector and its constituents, through the best use of resources
by knowledgeable civil servants. The City Government shall adhere to fiscal discipline and shall follow the
principle of cost-recovery in the provision of government services. Information technology shall be
increasingly utilized to effect significant increases in productivity.
EMPOWERMENT AND GENDER EQUITY IN DEVELOPMENT. The most vulnerable sector of the
government institution, the women and the disabled, shall be empowered by expanding their capabilities
and opportunities through provision of gender and disability-friendly facilities. All policies shall be
supportive of gender equity and disability sensitivity.
ACCOUNTABILITY. Decision-making by the City Government shall be subject to full public disclosure at
every stage to restore and maintain public confidence in the honesty of the civil servants and the integrity
of public policies and government processes.
TRANSPARENCY. The City Government shall provide free flow of appropriate, necessary, and relevant
information to the public to fully understand and monitor the institution and the developments affecting
their lives.

BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION

GOALS
The City Government shall strengthen the collaboration and coordination of the executive body and the
barangay units to ensure that all programs and projects reach appropriate beneficiaries, are responsive to
community needs and are reflective of the aspirations of the city.
Most of the barangay constituents are unaware of the preparation of barangay development plans nor
are they aware of the existence of a Barangay Development Council in their community
Most of the barangay units do not conduct/ convene community assemblies for the preparation of
barangay development plans as mandated by law
Despite given copies of respective demographic profiles of their constituents by the City Planning and
Development Department and the Barangay Secretariat, very few of the barangays had used the
document in preparing barangay socio-economic profile which is very vital in the preparation of a
barangay development plan
Most barangay units do not have a database bank and/ or socio-economic profile that would support
development planning at the barangay level
Most submitted annual barangay development plans are mere listing of programs and projects and
there is no assurance that these address identified problems, needs and aspirations of the community
Based on interviews conducted, most non-government organizations within the community do not have
participation in the formulation of a barangay development plan
Existing system of barangay development planning (in which only barangay officials prepare
development plans through "tayo-tayo" or gaya-gaya system) does not serve as an effective tool to
address community needs and problems
Existing project monitoring and evaluation system conducted at the city level is weak and
uncoordinated/ unsynchronized
Most barangay roads and drainage improvement projects are in duplication with city projects
Very little (none at all in some barangays) of the total fund was spent for economic development
The process of approving Barangay Development Plans among the different departments and offices at
the city level is uncoordinated and lacks check and balance mechanism thereby making the barangay
development plans vulnerable to graft and corruption
Less emphasis on economic development programs and projects
(i. e. livelihood and income generating activities to attain self-sufficiency among the constituents)
Barangay programs and projects are uncoordinated with neighboring barangays thus resulting to lack of
common thrust (e.g. drainage improvement; waste management; peace and order)
Barangay halls are indiscriminately constructed along right-of-ways due to lack of proper/ available
location
Lack of continuity of programs and projects and development thrust most especially during turnover of
tenure of service of the barangay officials
Barangay boundary disputes in almost all barangay units
Some barangays need to be merged or subdivided
