Economy
There are 7,588 registered business in 2016, wherein 46% are retailers, 19%
are real estate lessors and 15% are contractors.
Employed members of the City’s labor force in the Industrial area accounts
to 39% of the total manpower of the Freeport Zone. As the working age across all
age segments increased at an estimated 13.2% from 2008 to 2011, so with the
labor force (26.2%) and the employed (91%) members of the labor force.
Unemployment in the City is at 8.81% in the year 2011, which is higher than the
national figure of 7%. The 2011 CBMS survey results showed that 21% of the
households are under poverty threshold.i Of which 12.4% households are under
the food threshold.ii The incidence is lower than the national figure of 26%.
Physical Infrastructure
The City has a total road length of 219.13 kilometers (km) (Table 135) as of
March 2013. Of the total roads, 35% or 77.76 kilometers are concrete, fifty percent
(50%) or 109.13 kilometers are asphalt, and the remaining 15% or 32.24 kilometers
are still gravel. As to pavement condition (Table 136), around 83.75% of the City’s
concrete roads are in good iii condition while 15% are fairiv and 1.25% are in bad
v condition with 2017 road projects to address roads in bad conditions.
Natural Environment
Olongapo City has a total land area of 18,500 hectares. There are 2 major
mountain ridges, the Kalaklan Ridge and the Salimpoyo Ridge, both at 1,000 feet
above sea level. Both ridges are located at the western part of the City. Kalaklan
Ridge starts from the coast line of Subic Bay ascending to the north, with varying
maximum elevations of 366 to 594 meters. Salimpoyo Ridge has a maximum peak
point of 705 meters elevation.ix
major tributaries of the Sta. Rita Watershed Basin,x the City‘s main source of water.
This particular basin has a total area of about 92.4 sq. kilometers, with Sta Rita River
as its main river which drains into Subic Bay.
The increase of commercial usage of land was much faster than residential
use. At the turn of the century, the commercial area expanded from 39.91 in 1999
(2001 CLUP page 27 & 105) to 134.39 during the planning period, and currently at
143.98 hectares while dominantly residential use areas had increased only by
25.17 hectares from 1,043.39 hectares in 1998 to 1,068.56 hectares in 2016.
With the City’s huge housing backlog, future demand, and long overdue
local mandate, there is mounting demand for institutional development, land
and physical development in the field of housing. To be a choice for settlement
and considerably contribute to the development of the local industry of real
property, the City must respond to this challenge.
Using Geographical Information System (GIS) technology the current
tabulation of the Freeport area was at 1,496.06 hectares. There was a demand
for the expansion of the Freeport Zone, which was in consonance with the City’s
vision of becoming the country’s 1st Freeport City. In response, the national
government enacted a national policy (Executive Order # 65) to expand areas
of Freeport Zones as “Additional Secured Areas”.
The annual trend of flooding, power interruptions, and traffic, more
particularly in business districts must be put to an end. Olongapo City is in dire
need to rehabilitate and redevelop fundamental infrastructures and public
utilities in a state of blight in central business districts and communities. These
physical improvements must mitigate the effects brought about by climate
change, more than the impressive aesthetics, business-conducive policy
environment, and convenience.
Generations of unskilled and unschooled labor force must be substantially
reduced if not totally eliminated and instead produce future generations of
competitive, world class, skilled, and productive population.
Olongapo City must re-establish its traditional pioneering and dynamic
local governance in the midst of fast developing neighbouring municipalities and
progressive cities in the region.

Constraints
Opportunities
Internal strengths
Considering the geographical limitation of the City, all sectors will most likely
adapt to this method. A substantial segment of the residential sector may prefer
the traditional acquisition of land ownership. The commercial sector can be
flexible depending on what is the most profitable for their operations.
Based on the Situational Analysis (Volume 3), the following identified future
space requirements are as follows:
1. Residential xi
High Density 178.73 hectares
Medium Density 506.44 hectares
2. Commercial xii 497 hectares
3. Institutional xiii 15.48 hectares
4. Special Economic
Additional Secured Zone 900 hectares
5. Utilities

Waste Water Treatment Plant 1 hectare

3. In a linear and rectangular form, the stretch of the top of Kalaklan Ridge
from south up to the north will be the site for the “Additional Secured Area
for Special Economic and Freeport Zone (SEFZ).”
4. Radial in form at the middle section of the urban terrain is the Marikit Park
and its contiguous area viewed by the business sector to be a potential
Meeting, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions and Events Center (MICE).
5. In the west, at the center of the 5.6 kilometers crescent shape beach
area is the Driftwood Beach and Camp 164th site.
6. Following the oval in form, is the Human Resource Development Hub.
Located in the urban center.
7. East of the City, at the disposal of the local government and for re-
classification, are nodules of areas potential for housing development.
8. Starting at the north is the huge amphitheater form of the forest
watershed area, accommodating the Aeta Ancestral Domain and the
Integrated Watershed Management Program.

In spite of being one of the busiest urban centers in the region, Olongapo
City could offer the most tranquil beach leisure and relaxing water recreational
activities. Use to cater to a multinational clientele; resorts, restaurants; fitness,
wellness and entertainment establishments are spread in an approximately 5.6
kilometers of beach coast and more than 500 hectares of coastal area for water
activities.
Besides being strategic on location, Subic Bay has a natural deep harbour,
ideal for a deep diving adventure for historic warships and relics. It is a preferred
choice by the United States Naval Fleet as a recreational station during breaks on
their tour of duty.
In the field of Social Protection, the City is a several years recipient of the
Child Friendly City Award, Outstanding City VAW – Responsive LGU, and Persons
with Disability (PWD) City Friendly coming from regional to national awarding
bodies. It operates programs and facilitates for youth and women in need for
social protection and rehabilitation. Its City-run government hospital possessed the
capability of being the regional treatment hub for HIV - AIDS victims.

Olongapo City Brief Profile Weaknesses : Priority and Concerns
In the year 2014, CENR Office submitted a land classification status report,
declaring a total aggregate area of 8,351 hectares. Classified alienable and
disposal area is pegged at 855 hectares, below the earlier reported 1,729 hectares.
Over the decades, several factors have been articulated formally and
informally, on what causes flooding in the City. The huge water surface runoff was
attributed to the degraded absorbing capacity of the sloping forest watershed
area. This was affirmed in a study way back 1985, the Olongapo Watershed
Development Project. It is a popular hypothesis that the heavy river siltation results
to its shallowness which had been a perennial cause of low conveyance during
heavy rains. Another factor is related to solid waste management, the recurrent
clogged storm drainage system. This was evidently seen on a regular basis by
almost all resident of the City. And at the background and considerably
aggravating the poor flood control and environment interventions is the projected
annual increase on precipitation brought about by Climate Change.

Olongapo City Brief Profile Weaknesses : Priority and Concerns
Olongapo City’s housing backlog was at 1,613 units in 2007 and 900 units in
2011. In next 10 years, housing demand is projected to increase by tens of
thousands of units. The function of regulating, planning and implementing housing
programs had been infrequent, inadequate, and emanates from several offices.
Thus, there is an urgent need to create a City Housing Office.
Though the City was outstanding in business licensing chores, this should be
part of a strategic mandate of a sustained investment promotion and marketing.
This need has evolved before the turn of the century and was not an explicit
responsibility of the local government function. From being interim, extemporized
and infrequent, the task to market potential local investment opportunities have
evolve to being necessary and desirable in the conduct of good governance.
Thirty percent of the labor force is high school graduates, and 20% have high

graduates.
