TABLE OF CONTENTS
 CHAPTER I HISTORY
Early Beginning
Silang is believed to be one of the oldest towns in Cavite. Archaeological evidences show that
human settlement was already established as early as 14th century in what was once part of
Silang, barrio Pangil. Folk tradition also tells that the pioneers of the upland Silang were Gat
Hinguiw, his wife Kaliwanag, their four sons (Pandan, Pogpog, Palio, and Amatong), and their
three daughters (Mamagtay, Kalumala, and Amakit). They were Bornean priests who parted
ways due to intrafamilial feuds. Some went to Manila, while others lived in other parts of Cavite.

One legend explains that the town was named Silang because it is located in the eastern portion
(Silangan) of the province. Another legend tells that the Roman Catholic Church was born
(isinilang) from the ground. Nonetheless, Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala, one of the first
Tagalog dictionaries authored by Spanish friars, shows that “siláng” (stress in the second
syllable) is an old Tagalog word, which means to cross the road in between two high landforms.
Topography proves that, indeed, the roads of Silang are in between elevated terrains.

Spanish Colonial Period

Silang used to be an encomienda of Diego Jorge de Villalobos. The Catholic parish church was
founded by Franciscan friars in 1595. Ten years after, they began the evangelization. The civil
government, however, was established in 1621 with the election of Don Pedro Abogalon
Monaksa as the first gobernadorcillo.

The doctrina of Silang extended to the other upland towns in Cavite and to Marinduque. The
polity, on the other hand, included Indang, Gen. Trias (formerly San Francisco de Malabon), and
Maragondon. Alfonso, Amadeo (formerly Masilao), and Mendez were sitios of Indang, while
Magallanes and Ternate were barrios of Maragondon. Tanza (formerly Sta. Cruz de Malabon)
was part of Gen. Trias. Indang separated from Silang in 1655; Maragondon, in 1727; and Gen.
Trias, in 1748. Carmona and Amadeo were declared towns in 1857 and 1872, respectively.

Agriculture was the main source of income, considering the fertile soil and good climate of
Silang. Crops included rice, corn, sweet potato, banana, sugarcane, coffee, and wheat. Coffee,
recognized as one with the highest quality, was compared with Moka of Vietnam and the coffee
of Bourbon in several Spanish accounts. Other industries were barter trading with the Chinese,
weaving of hats and baskets, cattle raising, and quarrying in Tibagan, Malaking Ilog, and
Munting Ilog. Prominent businessmen were Petrona Poblete, Ysidora Montoya, and Placida Cruz
(all of them owned retail stores), Manuel Yu Chayco and Juan Chua Tanco, both of whom sold
fruits; and Lim Changco, who had a bakery.

Education was under the parish church. The early teachers were Franciscans and Jesuits, and
the classrooms were the church and the convent. The lessons included Christian Doctrine,
reading and writing, arithmetic, and Spanish history. In the 19th century, educated Filipinos
were allowed to teach. Among those were Hilaria Sanchez, Nicolas Madlansacay, and Pantaleon
Garcia, who graduated with distinction from the Escuela Normal de Maestros in Manila.

The first church, in the name of San Diego Alcala was made of bamboo. The second one, built by
the Franciscans in between 1585 and 1611 was made of wood. Both were razed by fire. The
present church was constructed in 1624 through polo y servicio under the supervision of the
Jesuit Juan Salazar. Materials used were stone and sand from the nearby river, and hard wood
from the upland forest. When the Jesuits assumed parochial leadership, they named the church
in honor of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria. Silangueños made significant contributions to the
struggle towards freedom from Spain. They were one of the first to rise up against the injustices
done by the Spaniards.

1
CHAPTER I HISTORY
In April 30, 1745, they launched agrarian revolt against the Dominicans who attempted to usurp
Carmona, which at that time was the only irrigated rice land in Silang. Along with the residents
of the nearby towns, they took down the boundary the friars put up in Carmona. The dispute
ended with amicable settlement through which Carmona remained in Silang.

On September 2-4, 1896, they launched the first cry of revolution against the Spaniards. Under
the leadership of Gen. Vito Belarmino and Vicente Giron, they captured the parish priest Toribio
Moreno in barrio Tatyaw, and forced the guardia civil to surrender after one day of exchanging
gun shots.

Four days after, the Spaniards attempted to regain the town with the reinforcements from
Cuartel de Sto. Domingo. Firing between the Spanish troops and the revolutionaries happened
in Malaking Ilog, Pasong Guevarra, and Ilayang Silangan. Nonetheless, the revolutionaries,
headed again by Belarmino, were able to drive the Spanish troops out of Silang.

Silang fell again into the hands of the colonizers one year after gaining freedom. Governor
General Camilo Polavieja sent General Jose Lachambre, the foremost military tactician of Spain
during that time, as the head of Spanish squadron. Lachambre prepared three squads
positioned in strategic locations: Zapote in Bacoor, Calamba in Laguna, and Batangas. The
Silanguenos, together with reinforcements from Mendez, Amadeo, and Gen. Trias, fought with
exceptional bravery despite lacking in number and in arms. Silang and the entire town was
captured and burned on February 19, 1897 excluding the church and the convent.

On June 9, 1898, Silang gained independence. The Katipunan in Silang was reorganized with
Jose Bayacal as the president and Lazaro Quiamzon as the commandant. Together with the
revolutionaries from Dasmariñas and Imus, they launched a nine-day battle against the
conquistadores with the latter surrendering to the valiant heroes of the town.

American Colonial Period

The Americans entered Cavite in 1898, and the war between them and the Caviteños began in
1899. Early battles occurred in Zapote, Bacoor, Imus, and Kawit, all of which fell to the
Americans. Revolutionaries were forced to retreat and Silang became their headquarters.

The town of Silang was conquered by the Americans only after a bloody fight along Sabutan
River on February 6, 1900. Nonetheless, Silangueños continued to fight using guerilla tactic. On
July 31, 1900, 50 Filipino soldiers attacked the Engineer Camp 3 located three kilometers away
from Silang. On September 18, 1900, the US detachment in Silang was assailed by one hundred
Filipinos. On March 3, 1901, a US wagon train was assaulted by a group probably under the
command of Victor Kiamzon. Vicente Giron, on the other hand, joined Julian Montalan and
Cornelio Felizardo as tulisan until their surrender in 1906.

Farming remained to be the main occupation of the people. Hemp replaced coffee as main cash
crop because rust obliterated coffee plantations in the entire Southern Tagalog in the 19th
century. When abaca was affected by an epidemic, the municipal government, through the help
of the Department of Agriculture distributed vegetable seeds (e.g., habichuelas, sicharo,
papaya, sitaw, and labanos) to the farmers. Soon the market regained its vitality and it became
one of Cavite’s better markets.

Education improved vastly. The first school house made of bamboo and nipa was inaugurated in
the lot of Santiago Belardo in 1900. The first American teacher was Louisse Miller and the
members of the teaching force were Guillermo “Maestrong Emong” and Antonio “Maestrang
Tonia” Mercado. Jose Ambalada joined the teaching force a year after and became the first
district supervisor of the towns of Silang, Amadeo, Dasmariñas, and Carmona in 1906. Among
the first students were Luis and Domingo Ambalada, Alejandro Bayla, Miguel Carramanzana,

2
CHAPTER I HISTORY
Jose and Isabelo Medina, and Venancio Toledo. The first concrete school building, the
“Gabaldon Building,” was built in 1915, while the intermediate school building, another
“Gabaldon Building,” was constructed in 1917. Public schools in barrios including Lalaan,
Malabag, Kalubkob, and Pooc, Munting Ilog and Iba were built in the following years to reach
children who could not afford to study in the town proper.

Transportation was developed. The national highway connecting Tagaytay and Silang, now
known as Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo Highway was constructed from 1933 to 1935 using prisoners as
construction workers. The road from Zapote to Tagaytay was made concrete in 1938 by
President Manuel Quezon. The bridge connecting the town proper and barrio Iba was built in
1931. The Silang Traffic Company, the first transportation company in Silang, began running a
network of buses to Manila and nearby towns in the 1930s. Through the initiative of Pedro
Giron, electricity was installed in Silang, second only to Cavite City.

Street were opened, extended, and renamed in honor of the fallen heroes of revolution or the
landowners who willingly gave the land. Calle Real became the J.P. Rizal St. Calle San Jose is now
the M.H. del Pilar St. Zamora Street was extended from M. H. Del Pilar to what is now P.
Montoya St. M. Belen St. was extended to P. Montoya St. to facilitate the transport of goods to
the market.

The monument of Dr. Jose P. Rizal was inaugurated in Plaza Libertad on January 13, 1918. The
project led by then municipal councilor Guillermo Bayan was one of the first in the entire
country. The government hall was transferred from P. Burgos St. to its present site in the 1930s.

Protestantism was introduced in Silang in 1902 through Presbyterian missionaries: Rev. James V.
Rodgers, his wife Anna, and their children Ruth and Julia. Among the first to be converted were
the brothers Juan and Monico Estrella, together with their families, and siblings Elias and
Gabriel Naval. Monico, the first Silangueno pastor, along with the other first converts, helped
the American missionaries in evangelization in Silang and nearby towns.

Japanese Colonial Period

The Japanese entered the town of Silang on January 2, 1942. They billeted themselves in front
of the houses lining the town plaza, took furniture belonging to house owners, shot hogs and
chickens at will, and slapped and beat Silangueños.

In response to Japanese’s cruelty, Silanguenos formed a secret organization akin to masonry,

Anak ng Katipunan sa Pilipinas. The founders were Dominador Kiamzon, Isaias Videña, Luciano
Tibayan, Artemio Velazco, Miguel Bayacal, Luciano Cortez, Paulino Centeno, Engracio Asuncion,
Pedro Caragao, Filomeno Ramos, Jose Castillo, Jose Belamide, and Celestino Asuncion. The aims
of the organization were to (1) unite all the Filipinos and redeem the lost freedom; (2)
exterminate traitors to the cause; (3) exterminate violators of peace and brotherhood; (4) help
the destitute and the needy; and (5) defend Philippine womanhood. They joined the 3rd
Regiment Filipino-American Guerilla Forces, and through their combined efforts, they forced the
Japanese to retreat to Mt. Makulot in Batangas on February 2, 1945.

Forties to Seventies
As soon as Silang was liberated from the Japanese, the people regained their will in improving
their lives and developing their town.

Farming was still the main industry. The cash crop was coconut, and the catch crops were rice,
corn, root crops, and other fruits. Business and trading were vibrant. Among those who were
successful businessmen were Enrique Asuncion (coconut and copra dealer), Gaudencio Poblete
(banking and finance), Miguel Kiamzon (lumber and hardware), Geminiano Maranan (electric
plant and rice mill), Iñigo Marayag (bakery) and Florente Oliveros (lumber and hardware).

3
CHAPTER I HISTORY
The education advanced well. Elementary schools in the barrios including Balite, Ulat, Biga,
Batas, Carmen, Maguyam, and Paligawan were opened from the mid-forties to the late sixties.
Infant Jesus Academy, the first highschool in Silang, was established in 1945 under the
leadership of Fr. Michael Donoher. Cavite Institute, another secondary school, was founded in
1947 by visionary Elisea Kiamzon Belamide. Soon Silang produced a lot of professionals. Among
them were Gaudencio Poblete (certified public accountant), Virgilio Velazco (physician),
Dominador Caparas (physician), Dorotea Bayan (dentist), and Conrado Medina (lawyer).

Transportation and communication had improvements. More roads were made concrete.
Morning and afternoon dailies circulated. Batangas Transportation Co. and the Saulog and
Medina companies provided hourly trips to Manila.

The plaza was renovated. Light posts and bulbs were installed. Kiosk was built in the center.
Cemented tennis court convertible to a basketball diamond was constructed in one of the sides
of the plaza.

Eighties to Nineties
The development of Silang began in the eighties.

On March 14, 1980, the provincial government, headed by Governor Juanito Remulla, issued
Resolution No. 40. The resolution adopted the provincial land use plan, the first in the
Philippines. Majority of the land area of Silang was still designated agricultural, but the portion
near Carmona was classified industrial.

Nine years after, the municipal government of Silang issued Resolution No. 109-A-89 titled A
Resolution Approving the Revised Comprehensive Development Plan of the Municipality of
Silang. It indicates that Silang was divided into eight zones: residential, commercial, light
industrial, medium industrial, agro-industrial, general institutional zone, special institutional
zone, and agricultural zone. The residential zone was the area bounded on the north by the
Philippine Missionary Institute and barangay road in Biga; on the east by the Ilog ng Bayan; on
the south by the Brgy. Tubuan-Lalaan I; and on the south by the By-pass road. The special
institutional zone was the Camp General Mariano Castañeda in Tartaria and the area bounded
on the north by Ambalada and Toledo properties; on the east by Rizal St. and Sandejas property;
on the south by Cabria St.; and on the west by Brgys. San Vicente-Sabutan boundary. The
commercial zone included the poblacion area and Brgy. Buho, and the general institutional zone
consisted of the compounds of La Sallete, Philippine Missionary Institute, Adventist
International Institute of Advanced Studies, Silang Parish Church and Infant Jesus Academy,
Municipal Government, Silang Central and West Elementary schools, Camp. T. Capinpin, and
Philippine Union College. The light industrial zone was in Brgys. Biga, San Vicente, Adlas, Lalaan I
and II; while the Medium Industrial Zone was in Brgys. Inchican, Carmen, Puting Kahoy, Tartaria,
Bulihan, and Maguyam, and Sitios Gulugod Baboy and Apura in Brgy. Tibig. The agro-industrial
zone was in Brgys. Munting Ilog, Hukay, Pooc, Iba; and the agricultural zone was all the other
unmentioned barangays.
Two years after, the Sangguniang Bayan of Silang released Resolution No. 148-C titled “A
Resolution to Amend our Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.” Silang was divided into the same
zones, and the barangays except for a few were classified in the same way as in the previous
resolution. Nonetheless, in this resolution, the agro-industrial zone was expanded to include
Tibig, Munting Ilog, and Hukay.

Because of the changes in land use, the economy was diversified. While agriculture remained to
be the source of income for the majority of the people, factories in industrial parks located in
Brgy. Maguyam and construction projects for subdivisions in Brgys. Inchican and Puting Kahoy
attracted thousands of workers. Food stalls and retail stores lining the streets and apartments

CHAPTER I HISTORY
for migrants provided extra income especially to women. By 1995, there were already 9
subdivisions, 707 registered commercial establishments and 28 industrial establishments.

Because of population growth, what were once sitios were declared independent barangays.
Biga, San Miguel, and San Vicente were split into two; and Tubuan, into three. Bulihan was
subdivided into eleven barangays: Old Bulihan, Acacia, Anahaw 1, Anahaw 2, Banaba, Ipil 1, Ipil
2, Narra 1, Narra 2, Narra 3, and Yakal. Pooc gave birth to Pooc 1, Pooc 2, and Hoyo. Toledo was
separated from Malabag. Malaking Tatiao became independent from Iba.

The needs of the growing population were addressed both by the local government and the
private sector. The government renovated the public market, constructed farm to market roads,
opened public elementary and secondary schools, and established rural health units in the town
proper and in Bulihan. The private sector, on the other hand, built hospitals, clinics, leisure
parks and golf courses, and elementary, secondary, and tertiary schools. By 1995, there were
224 stalls in the market, 2 rural health units, 5 hospitals, 12 private clinics, 44 public elementary
schools, 5 national high schools, 6 private elementary high schools, 5 private high schools, two
private universities, 12 banks, 15 financing institutions and 2 resorts.

Twenty-first Century
The development of Silang continued in the twenty-first century.

During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the local government, under the leadership
of Mayor Clarito “Areng” Poblete, implemented programs and projects to improve the economy.
Investors were encouraged to establish business by improving the road network, providing tax
incentives, and securing peace and order. By 2010, top real estate developers, such as the Ayala
Land Corporation and Cathay Land Inc., either finished or expanded their projects. In 2012,
2,562 commercial establishments and 73 industrial establishments were listed. The commercial
establishments were engaged in wholesale trade and retailing, construction, and banking/
finance. The industrial establishments were into manufacturing of hardware and household
products, and service industry.
The local government made huge investments in improving the delivery of basic services,
particularly education and medicine. Cavite State University-Silang Campus was established in
2006, and its student population had grown to more than three thousand in 2014. Munting Ilog
National High School-Silang West Annex opened in 2009, and it has been recognized for the
high quality of education it offers since then. The Rural Health Unit in Silang was transferred to
what used to be the Caparas Hospital, while the Rural Health Unit Clinic in Bulihan was
renovated. Doctors and staff were also added in both centers to accommodate more indigent
patients.

Partnerships were forged between the local government and the non-government organizations
in Silang. A council of non-government organizations were created to handle the activities for
Christmas and fiesta celebrations. Heads of these organizations were also consulted in making
and implementing policies.

Mayor Emilia Lourdes “Omil” Poblete, the first lady mayor of Silang, has equaled the efforts of
her father and predecessor, Mayor Clarito “Areng” Poblete. Even just after a year of service,
people have recognized her contribution to the continued development of the town.

Tax collection has improved. In the first quarter of 2014, Silang was the first in the province in
collecting both real property and business taxes. Only for that quarter, the real property tax
collection amounted to more than 112 million pesos, while the business tax collection was more
than 46 million pesos.

5
CHAPTER I HISTORY
Because of the improvement in finances, government centers in various parts of the town were
either improved or constructed. Patio Medina was covered and converted into a multi-purpose
complex. Operation Centers were built in the town proper, Lalaan 1, and Inchican to serve as
headquarters of the disaster risk management team. The Senior Citizens Office was renovated
to make it a more conducive venue for the usual gatherings of the senior citizens.

Education remained to be a priority. Malabag Elementary School-Buho Annex was opened in

2012, and it will be declared an independent school in 2015. Elementary schools in Lungon and
Buklod Bahayan, and the Dionisio Magnaye National High School in Ulat will be opened in 2015
as well. Tech Voc programs offering courses in manicure, pedicure, cooking, and welding have
accommodated more than a thousand students, most of whom were out of school youth.
Deserving students and teachers have been given financial aids to help them finance their
studies.

Silang will be propelled to meteoric rise soon. The seat of the provincial government will be
transferred in Lalaan 1, while a new municipal hall will be built in Biga 1. The Cavite Laguna
Express Way will pass through Batas, Adlas, Biga II, Sabutan, Malaking Tatyao, Tibig, Munting
Ilog and Carmen, and it is expected that it will invite investments therein. In a few years, Silang
might be declared a city, given its land area, population, and income; and it will be recognized as
a world class community, with its rich natural resources and human potential

The annual mean temperature in the municipality is 29°C. March showed to be
the hottest month with mean temperature of 33°C while the coldest month with
mean temperature of 25°C was during the month of January

2.7.4 Climate projections

The climate projections for the municipality of Silang, Cavite was based on the
projected changes of different climate variables for 2020 and 2050 using the observed
baseline from 1971 to 2000 (PAGASA, 2011) (Table 8 ). The climate projection
information includes temperature, rainfall and frequency of extreme events
Based on this climate projection, the Municipality of Silang will experience an
increase in temperature by 2020 and 2050 for all seasons with the highest increase in
temperature during the months of March, April, and May (summer months) which is
29.4°C by 2020 and 30.4°C by 2050, followed by the months of June, July and August
which is 28.2°C by 2020 and 29.1°C by 2050. Decrease in rainfall will occur in the months
of December up to May (within six (6) moths), while increase in rainfall shall be expected
during the months of June to November in 2020 & 2050. The number of hot days is
expected to have a significant increase exceeding to 35°C by 2020 and will continue by
2050. There will also be a decrease in the number of dry days with <2.5 mm of rain in
2020 and 2050, as compared to the baseline. With this, it is expected to have an increase
in the extreme daily rainfall of >200mm for 2020 and 2050 respectively.

CHAPTER II GEO-PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
 2.7.5 Climate Change Impact
Since there is an expected increase in temperature for all seasons in 2020 and
2050, hazards like hydrological drought and grass fire is very much expected and also
there will be an increase in number of hot days. The general population will be affected
by heat discomfort, which will result to an increased number of heat -related diseases
like stroke, heart attack and others which may also lead to an increased in medical
expenses, elevated mortality/ morbidity rates and will lessen productivity of manpower/
workforce. There will be less agricultural food production; therefore economic losses,
increased food prices, as well as increased cases of malnutrition and low income for
farmers will later on another big problem that needs to be solved. Increase in
temperature will also affect the delivery of public service like reduction in availability of
potable water supply to all critical government and non- government facilities, increased
consumption of energy in urban areas that may lead to increase hazardous gas emission
and supply of energy will be decreased that will lead to power outage/black outs. All 64
barangays of Silang, Cavite will be affected by the above situations.
Changes in precipitation like an increased amount of rainfall during December up
to November and decreased on the months of March, April and May in the years of 2020
and 2050 will be expected. Hazards like flooding and landslide will leads to discomfort
and spread of diseases like dengue and leptospirosis cases, changes in precipitation will
lead to decreasing agricultural production , uprooted trees and withered plants as the
direct impacts and the indirect impacts will be the low income for farmers/economic
losses, less food production, food prices are expected to increase, increased cases of
malnutrition. The roads, bridges, and drainage system,(schools, health centers, brgy.
halls, daycare center) may affects its delivery of public services. Increased amount of
rainfall will lead to flooding in urban areas, overflowing of rivers will resulted to land
erosion, and contamination of potable water lines will be resulted to damage to
properties, down/toppled power lines and cell sites, weaken foundation of bridges and
buildings. All residents within 64 barangays of Silang will suffer.
Extreme Events like super typhoon in 2020 and 2050 will probably occur which will
lead to disasters in many people’s lives. Loss of source of income like agricultural food
production will be affected, soil erosion, rainfall- induced landslides, some related-
human diseases will be encountered, potable water supply will be reduced also due to
breakage in water line facilities , and electricity and communication will be affected.
Shown below is Table 9 which summarizes all possible climate change impacts to the
municipality of Silang.

 2.8 Natural Hazards
2.8.1 Hazard Inventory
Through maps provided by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), PAGASA,
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), and Bureau of Soil and
Water Management (BSWM), there are five (5) hazards identified that pose risks to the
municipality of Silang. First, flood where 42 barangays with ISF living near the rivers were
affected followed by rainfall- induced landslide which are considered in low to high
susceptibility in 57 barangays out of 64 barangays in Silang. Third, ground rupture with
active fault susceptibility specifically in 3 barangays (Inchican, Carmen and Puting Kahoy).
Fourth, ground shaking with PEIS Intensity VII and above susceptibility. Lastly,
earthquake- induced landslide with low to high susceptibility among 57 barangays. The
summary of hazard Inventory matrix can be found in table below.

2.8.2 Records of Previous Disasters

Based on the retrieved recorded files of the municipality, the earliest hazard event
happened in the year 1880 where in Luzon experienced earthquake where the SiIang
Parish church which is located in the Poblacion area has been affected which occurred
partially damaged to its big bell. While the typhoons Frank in June 2008, Ondoy in
September 2009, Santi in October 2009 and Pedring in September 2011, contributed
much to the damages to properties especially to agricultural food production value
losses which ranges from 3.2 million as the lowest and as high as 18 million. Disaster
report in 2014, with Typhoon Glenda has affected the five (5) barangays with highest
recorded damage to agricultural production losses amounting to 145.6 million, followed
by the damaged to infrastructure amounting to 36. 2 million, certain numbers of houses
has been damaged with their families and household members. Lastly, the Typhoon
Maring in September 2017 gave hazards and affected 16 barangays with the total amount
of 4.7 million with damages to properties like its infrastructure, institution and damages
to families as well. Table 10 below shows the records of previous disasters of the
municipality of Silang from year 1880 to year 2017.

2.8.3 Hazard Susceptibility

The municipality’s land area is about 15,641 hectares with 64 barangays, 18 of
which are classified as urban while the remaining 46 are rural. Being a watershed area,
and having seven (7) sub-basins, Silang literally collects water. Extreme rainfall events,
brought about by large fluctuations in climate variability, have become a threat to areas
that were not even visited by rainfall-induced hazards in the past. The West Valley Fault
Line straddles along the northeastern portion of the municipality. This fault line covers
the Barangays of Inchican, Carmen and Puting Kahoy. This makes the area vulnerable to
earthquake and its consequences such as landslide and ground rupture .

24
CHAPTER II GEO-PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
 Silang is susceptible to five (5) identified hazards as shown in Table below ,
columns with the blue color are hazards that are amplified by climate change and
variability while the orange ones are geological in nature which may or may not be
aggravated by the climate. Hazards like ground shaking where in the 64 barangays are
most susceptible, followed by rain-induced landslide and earthquake-induced landslide
where 57 barangays are susceptible while flood is common to 42 barangays. Meanwhile,
because West Valley Fault traverses three (3) barangays of the municipality (Inchican,
Carmen and Puting Kahoy) it is susceptible to ground rupture. Figures 8 and 9 show the
hazard maps of the municipality.

CHAPTER III.POPULATION AND SOCIAL PROFILE
 3.1.8 Magnitude of Poor Families/Individual
3.1.8.1 Poverty Threshold
In order to estimate the total poverty threshold (food plus non-food basic needs),
the food threshold is divided by the proportion of the food expenditures (FE) to total
basic expenditures (TBE) derived from the latest FEIS using the FE/TBE’s of families
within the +/- 10 percentile of the food threshold.
TBE is the aggregate of expenditures on food; clothing and footwear; fuel, light
and water; housing maintenance and other minor repairs; rental or occupied dwelling
units; medical care; education; transportation and communications; non-durable
furnishings; household operations and personal care and effects.
The proportion used is derived from patterns of expenditures of
families/individuals whose annual per capita income falls below the annual per capita
food threshold.
Poverty thresholds are computed for each region, on an urban/rural basis. The
poverty threshold for the region is the weighted average of urban/rural thresholds.
Threshold for areas outside NCR is weighted average of thresholds of all regions outside
NCR, on an urban/rural basis.
The threshold for the national level is estimated as the weighted average of the
NCR and areas outside NCR, disaggregated by urbanity. The weights used are based on
the population size in each survey round, i.e., 1985-1997 rounds, of the FIES.
Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) census of Silang conducted on
2015 shows a result of 36.5% households are with income below poverty threshold.

*Households with income below poverty threshold. Current thresholds are estimated, when the official is not applicable to the
reference period, by projecting the official NSCB thresholds using prevailing prices. The currently used poverty thresholds are:
22046 (Rural) and 22984 (Urban).
Source: 2015 CBMS Data

3.1.8.2 Food Threshold

To compute the food threshold, the per capita per day of food cost is multiplied by
30.4 (approximate number of days per month) to get the monthly threshold or by 365
days (30.4 days/month x 12 months) to get the annual food threshold.
The monthly/annual food threshold derived is thus interpreted as the subsistence
threshold – the monthly/annual income necessary to meet nutritional requirement.
In CBMS result, Silang has 26.6% household with income below food threshold.

3.3.1.3 Nutritional Status

The World Health Organization cites malnutrition as the greatest single threat to
the world’s public health. Improving nutrition is widely regarded as the most effective
form of aid. According to the latest study of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute
(2012), three in every 10 Filipino children aged 5 and below are stunted or too short for
their age while two in every 10 children also in the same age range are underweight.
Silang has two recorded degrees of malnutrition for years 2010 to 2012, the first
(1 ) and third (3rd) degree. For 1st degree, an escalation of 186 from 2010 to 2011 is
st

recorded. However there is a slight decrease of 7 from 2011 to 2012. For 3 rd degree,
there is an increase of 92 from 2010 to 2011 and on 2012 it increased to 97. The erratic
trend in the number of malnourished children in the municipality for these years
manifests irregular effort in providing effective interventions to affected children. In the
year 2015-2017 the record shows that there is an increase in the number of
malnourished children.

According to R.A. 6975, the local government units at the municipal levels shall
be responsible for the fire protection and various emergency services such as rescue and
evacuation of injured people at fire-related incidents and in general, all fire prevention
and suppression measures to secure the safety of life and property of the citizenry. The
law also provides basis for the establishment of municipal fire stations. In Silang, Cavite
the Headquarters of Bureau of Fire Protection is located in barangay San Miguel II with
200 sq.m. area. They also have two (2) Sub-station located in Brgy. Bulihan and Inchican.

population is 1:8,087 which way below the ideal of 1:2,000. They have 6 firetrucks that is
assigned to the main station and sub-stations. The one main concern of the Silang BFP is
the location of its main fire station which is near the public market with poor road
access due to vendor stalls and unloading of market goods. These are blockade during
emergencies and can limit the response time of the fire fighters. Table 64 shows the fire
incidence occurred for the last three years in the municipality, the record shows that
commonly the cause of fire is electrical short-circuit.

CHAPTER III.POPULATION AND SOCIAL PROFILE
 CHAPTER IV LOCAL ECONOMY

Silang, like most of the towns in the province of Cavite, depends on a mainly agricultural
economy. The primary crops grown in the area are coconut, coffee, corn, banana, pineapple,
and tree crops. Fertile soils and abundant water sources make Silang suitable not only for
common commercial crops but also for high value and exotic crops production. Most of the
local farmers practice intercropping to increase land productivity and lessen soil erosion. Fruit
production exceeds the demand of the municipality's population, thus, supply excesses are
marketed to Metro Manila and neighboring urban centers. A number of poultry and swine
farms are also located in some rural barangays.

Manufacturing and trade are Silang’s other major sources of income. Trade and investments
grew tremendously with the influx of both Manila-based and foreign investors. Total
investments were estimated at P2.5 billion between 1996 and 2004, which helped bring about
the employment of 3,000 people. Despite the slowdown of progress in 2004, Land Value still
soared, allowing investors to infiltrate and start business. The investment trend resulted in the
increase in the price of prime realty from P3,000 to P15,000 per square meter and from P150 to
P500 per square meter for raw lots in interior barangays. Trade establishments in Silang include
gasoline stations, convenience stores, lumber/hardware traders, groceries, resorts, and hotels.

Silang houses four (4) industrial parks namely DAIICHI Industrial Park Special Economic Zone,
Sterling TechnoPark, Meridian Industrial Park and Cavite Industrial Park in addition to a total of
other factories operating outside the export processing zone.

4.1 The Primary Sector

4.1.1 Agriculture

The Municipality of Silang was once an agricultural dependent town in the 19 th century that
agricultural production in Silang indulges progress and economic domination was contributed
by its major cash crops. But then, agricultural practices and services in the town experienced
depression during the first decade of American period due to some factors like drought and the
prevalence of cholera. Despite the depression, agriculture still played an important role in the
lives of Silangueños as well as to the whole province. At present, part of the vision of the
province of Cavite is for the Municipality of Silang to be one of the towns which will lead in
agricultural production specifically in terms of vegetable and fruit crops.

As per existing land use in 2012, Silang has a total agricultural land area of 9,318.41 hectares.
Where a total of 5,173.63 hectares are devoted to agricultural production which majority are
occupied by pineapple, coconut and coffee production and the rest are allotted for livestock and
poultry production and other agricultural services while the 2,287.62 hectares of land classified
as development zone for agricultural or under the Strategic Agricultural and Fisheries
Development Zone (SAFDZ). It covers 10 barangays of the municipality which are located in its
southern portion adjacent to the City of Tagaytay. The remaining area is idle or vacant lands.

From the period of 2012-2017, there were about 292.2048 hectares of agricultural lands which
were legally converted into commercial, residential, industrial, institutional and other uses.
Agricultural land conversion was basically a result of rapid urbanization in the town including
high rate of population migration and establishment of more residential, commercial and
industrial areas. This also leads to drastic change in the number of farm families, agricultural
production and employment engaging agricultural production.

CHAPTER IV LOCAL ECONOMY
 4.1.1.1 Crop Production and Land Utilization by type

Having more than 50% percent of its total land suitable for agricultural production,
Silang produces many kinds of products yearly such as upland rice, corn (green and yellow),
pineapple, coffee, banana, coconut, cut flowers, vegetables and other fruit trees. Factors
like favorable climatic condition, gentle to rolling slopes and fertile soil with good surface and
ground water supply also contributes to the continuous agricultural production in Silang.
Through multi-cropping system, farm families in Silang maximize the agricultural lands
through the production of both cash and subsistence crops. The cropping system usually
has the pattern of coconut-coffee-pineapple, coffee-pineapple and pineapple-sweet corn
and vegetables. About 1,356.003 hectares was occupied by coffee, the major crop which
has the largest crop production in Silang. Another major crop is pineapple which occupies
823.098 hectares and coconut with 711.95 hectares of the total agricultural crop
production area. The declared area was also planted by other crops such as rice, corn, fruit
trees, root crops, banana, vegetables, legumes, black pepper and cut flowers.

4.1.1.2 Livestock and Poultry Production

Aside from agricultural crop production, there are also farms or areas in Silang
devoted for livestock and poultry production mostly of which are for local market only.
The locations of this kind of production are mostly situated in rural barangays of the
municipality. Almost half of the number of barangays practices livestock (cattle, goat and
swine) and poultry production, mostly backyard in sense. Figure 21 shows the production
of the backyard livestock and poultry within the municipality for the year 2016 and 2017.

4.2 Inventory of Commercial Establishment by Economic Activities

84
CHAPTER IV LOCAL ECONOMY
 Wholesale Retail and Trade establishments which on year 2011 were 1,341
showed a decline in number on year 2012 with only 1,286 establishments recorded.
Manufacturing which is the second largest commercial establishment with only 268 on
2011 showed an increase in number on year 2012 with 307. Amusement establishments
remained the same for year 2011 and 2012 with recorded number of 37. The fourth
largest commercial establishment is Real Estate Renting and Business which was 112 on
year 2011 and 118 on year 2012.

4.3 Industry

Industry is a sub-sector of the economy which provides goods, commodities and

services to consumers. It provides employment and additional local revenue through
taxation. It also supports advances in scientific research providing the means for
economic development and the community as a whole.

Philippines had a GDP of US$188.719 billion in 2010. As a growing industrialized

country, the Philippines have been dominated by manufacturing and services. In 2010,
industry was responsible for 31.3 percent of Philippines' GDP. Major industries include
automotive, electronics, textiles, and food processing. Industry also employs 15% of the
total work force in the country.

Value added generated by all manufacturing establishments reached P1.0 trillion

in 2010. Among industries, the top ten industries comprised 52.6% of the total value
added of the manufacturing sector. Refined petroleum and other fuel products led the
top contributors to value added with a combined value of P192.4 billion or 18.7% of the
total. Semi-conductor devices and electronic components ranked second with P115.7
billion or11.2% of the total value added.

According to the Regional Physical Framework Plan of CALABARZON (2004-

2030), Silang belongs to the Tagaytay-Silang sub-cluster, one of the eight groupings of
the Urban Growth Clusters/UGCs of CALABARZON. These growth centers are highly
urbanized municipalities and cities whose capabilities with regards to levels and scales
are competitive and comparable with Metro Manila in terms of alternative training,
commercial services, housing services, education services and health services. One of
the roles of these growth centers is to act as a nucleus of economic development for the
region, especially on manufacturing and processing services. This growth of
manufacturing industries was largely attributed to improved infrastructure facilities and
access to major market outlets in Metro Manila. The existence of major road networks
traversing neighboring municipalities and cities around Cavite-Laguna area has
encouraged the proliferation of industry–related activities in the industrial centers in
these provinces. Thus, it can be noted that most industrial estates are located along or
near the major roads, which have direct access to the National Capital Region.

The passage of the Ecozone Act of 1995 allowed the growth of economic zones
in the CALABARZON region. Ecozones are specialized industrial estates with highly
developed area or those with potential for industrial, tourist, recreational, commercial
and investment purposes.

In Cavite, majority of the industrial establishments have been operating in

District V which includes Silang, Gen.Trias and Carmona.

4.3.1 Assessment of the Industry Sector

85
CHAPTER IV LOCAL ECONOMY
 The industrial area in Silang covers three percent of its total land area of 15,641
hectares. As of 2010, there are 73 industrial establishments in the municipality, 20.55% is
engaged in hardware and other related services. This type of service includes
manufacturing of cables, plastics and metals. It is followed by the service industry which
includes activities like repacking condiments, waste treating, packaging of various
materials, storage, stamping of metals, fabricating of auto parts and dressing (i.e. poultry),
accounting to 17.81%. Manufacturing of household products constitutes the least number
of establishments with only 1.37%

5.8 Waste Disposal System

Silang, a first class municipality in Cavite, has taken initiatives to improve its Solid
Waste Management (SWM) program. With a total population of 248,085 (2015), the
municipality produces an average waste of (113-120 tons per day) 826 to 840 tons per

94
CHAPTER V INFRASTRUCTURE/UTILITIES/FACILITIES
 week, an annual waste of 43,070-43,800 tons per year. Domestic waste generation in
Silang is rapidly increasing in proportion to population growth rate not to mention the
increase in non-hazardous solid waste generated by commercial, industrial
establishments and other institutions. Considering a population growth rate of 2.9%, the
domestic solid waste is expected to double in the next ten (10) years.

The Solid Waste Management project being adopted by LGU is composed mainly
of collecting, transporting and open dumping of wastes. Subject to the present condition
of the solid waste management system of Silang was the previously conducted Pre-
Feasibility Study of Silang Materials Recovery Facility with Composting Sub-Project
composed effort by the Laguna Lake Development Authority and Local Government of
Silang.

With the municipality’s increasing population and projected economic activities,

the LGU of Silang expects rising solid waste generation and urgent demand for efficient
and effective SWM program. At present, the LGU’s SWM program is limited to waste
collection service in 62 Barangays. Mixed waste collection system is still being
implemented. There is an operational composting facility and MRF for recyclable wastes
within the municipality located at Barangay Yakal, Barangay Anahaw 1 both at Bulihan
area and in Barangay 2 at Poblacion proper. The LGU has already closed its open
dumpsite located at Bgy. Lalaan I following the implementation of its safe closure and
rehabilitation plan prepared April, 2016 and was acknowledged by EMB-DENR REGION
IV-CALABARZON dated June 14, 2016. (source: 2015-2025 Silang SWMP)

5.9 Collection
The MENRO Office is responsible for the collection and disposal of all residential,
commercial, yard and bulky wastes. The LGU has not strictly imposed a “No Segregation,
No Collection” policy to implement the mandatory waste segregation. There is a daily
waste collection schedule except on Sundays for Poblacion and Bulihan. Ideally, residents
must bring their trash to the garbage truck making stops at frequent intervals around
each route. The garbage collectors will indicate their availability or presence by ringing a
distinctive bell or horn.

There are 2 barangays with no collection schedule since these barangays practiced
composting. The municipality owns 9 compactors, 7 mini dump trucks, one forward truck
and two dump trucks which are mostly operational. Volume of waste generated per day
is around 113-120 tons per day, 791 to 840 tons per week, an annual waste of 41,245-
43,800 tons per year. The LGU conducted Waste characterization study (WACS) last June,
2015.
