EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Olongapo Ciity Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Planning Period 2016 to 2026

I. VISION

“Olongapo City is a globally renowned tourism and convention hub, an


education and government center, a Freeport City, characterized by a
sustainable ecology; propelled by competitive and God-loving citizenry;
motivated by principles of good governance”
II. BRIEF SITUATIONER

Demography

Olongapo City’s population in the year 2016, is estimated to be at 276,138


with an annual growth rate of 2.19%. The City has a household average size of 4
individuals, and a sex ratio of 97 males to 100 females. It has a median age of 25
years old higher compared to the last decade, with a working age population of
65% of its total population. The City has a dependency ratio of 57 to 100 working
age individuals lower than a decade ago.

Social Services

Olongapo City’s social welfare development is carried out by the City


Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO). The office provides two main
services: (1) the Center-based services which are provided and accessed in a
particular facility and (2) the Community-based services which include the
provision of basic social services to the seventeen (17) barangays of the City.

Center-based services are provided in the three main social welfare


facilities:
a. The Social Development Center (SDC), which serves as a rehabilitation
facility to female children in need of special protection, sexually abused
and female children in conflict with the law (CICL);
b. The Center for Women, which specializes on rehabilitation service to
victims of violence against women and children; and
c. The Center for Youth, caters on rehabilitation of the delinquent youth and
children in-conflict with the law (CICL).

There was also the Community-based services which are the Community

Planning Period 2016 to 2026

provided which includes services to disaster victims such as Critical Incidence


Stress Debriefing (CISD), Emergency Relief Assistance, Emergency Shelter
Assistance, Balik-Probinsya and Disaster Mitigation and Preparation.

Economy

There are 7,588 registered business in 2016, wherein 46% are retailers, 19%
are real estate lessors and 15% are contractors.

Olongapo City’s current total commercial land area is estimated to be at


134.39 hectares at the start of the planning period, and currently (2016) estimated
to be at 143.98 hectares. Varying types and scale of commercial activities are
diffused and spread within a mixed use land area of 82.32 hectare. The
commercial area is currently 9.2% of the total estimated 1,565.50 hectares urban
land use of the City. The City’s commercial area is estimated to have expanded
at an annual growth rate of 9.79% since 1999.

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.

Olongapo City’s power distribution infrastructure was privatized through


Republic Act (RA) No. 10373vi which was approved by President Benigno Aquino
on March 1, 2013. Through this act, the President gave a 25-year franchise to
Olongapo Electricity Distribution Company, Inc. (OEDC), a privately owned
electric distribution utility which started operations in the City on June 1, 2013.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Olongapo Ciity Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Planning Period 2016 to 2026

OEDC is a subsidiary of Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company. Inc.


(CEPALCO), the fourth largest privately owned electric distribution utility in the
Philippines, under joint venture with San Miguel Energy Corporation (SMEC).vii
OEDC sources its power requirements from the National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines (NGCP) through its Metering Facility at NGCP – Halfmoon Substation.
To date, year 2016, there are 49,795 connections of all types, the largest of which
is residential accounting 87% of the total.

The City’s Level 3 water supply or piped water system is managed by


Subicwater and Sewerage Company, Inc., the first and only ISO 9001:2000
certified water utility company in the country today. Subicwater has two water
treatment plants: the Binictican Water Treatment Plant which serves the need of
the Subic Bay Freeport Zone and the southern part of the City and Cabalan, and
the Mabayuan Water Treatment Plant which supplies the northern part of the City.
The Binictican Water Treatment Plant draws its water from five sources: Binanga,
Binictican, Boton, Triboa and Malawaan Rivers. The Mabayuan Water Treatment
Plant sources its raw water from the Mabayuan Creek and Sta. Rita River. The two
water treatment plants have a combined capacity of 66,500 cum/day (CMD) or
66.5 million liters per day (MLD)viii.

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

Olongapo City’s land area was estimated to be approximately 18,500


hectares based on Republic Act 4645, the Olongapo City Charter. Based on the
latest LC 3635 Map, there are a total of 1,632.60 hectares of Alienable and
Disposal (A & D) land area. At the current estimates, the Watershed, forest and
timberland was at 15,053.38 hectares of land. Then there are land areas,
measuring 336.48 hectares which are undergoing administrative and legal
process to being converted to A&D which was identified under a preliminary map
data (PMD) or amended map data.

The Community Environment and Natural Resource Office (CENRO) has


listed 8 water bodies, 3 creeks and 5 rivers. These water bodies are considered as
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Olongapo Ciity Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Planning Period 2016 to 2026

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.

Land Use Development Trend

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.

Local Administration

The City Government of Olongapo was created by virtue of Republic Act


No. 4645 on 1 June 1966. And on December 7, 1983, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 166 and 168 of the Local Government Code then, the City was classified
as a highly urbanized city. Its power and authority was later modified by Republic
Act No. 7160, better known as the Local Government Code of 1991. This is vested
in the Office of the City Mayor and through its various Departments, Divisions,
Branches, Sections and Sub-Sections, performing its primary and subsidiary
functions in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the local
government.
Olongapo City is governed by a City Mayor designated as its Chief
Executive Officer and by a Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) as its legislative body in
accordance with the Local Government Code. Both the Mayor and the SP are
elected directly by the people through an election, which is being held every
three years.
The Vice Mayor who is also elected together with the Mayor and the
Sangguniang Panlungsod acts as the presiding officer of the Sangguniang
Panlungsod. Political and socio-economic strengths of the City are drawn from
the 17 barangays which comprise the city’s basic local government units.
Governed by a Barangay Chairman and a Barangay Council, these various
barangays or villages are located mainly on the urbanized portions of the city.
The integrated plans and programs of the City are administered and
accomplished through the forty (40) Departments/Offices that are responsible for
the economical and efficient performance of their functional assignments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Olongapo Ciity Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Planning Period 2016 to 2026

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

FOREWORD
Olongapo City’s existing LGU mandated development plans were
technically several years due now. The 2001 CLUP has been due in the year
2010.

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) refers to a document


embodying specific proposals, for guiding, regulating growth and
development of a city. It is comprehensive because it considers all sectors
significant in the development process.(HLURB) The CLUP shall not only cover
the entire LGU territorial jurisdiction both land and water but also the spatial
requirements of different development sectors to serve as guide for detailed
allocation of space and location of various activities and facilities. (DILG)

The document comes in three volumes. Volume I is the Comprehensive


Land Use Plan itself which contains the formal and substantive elements of
the CLUP. This volume started with the articulation of the Brief Profile of the
City (General Information) which includes its brief history, human resource,
physical features, infrastructure resources, the economic structure, its existing
land use and land use trends, comparative and competitive advantages,
weaknesses: priority issues and concerns and the functional role of the City.
Thereafter, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan follows through the statement
of the City’s Vision, its goals, objectives and strategies, the concept/structure
plan (text and map), the land use plan (text and map format), the forest
land use plan and the priority programs and projects. Volume II presents the
City’s enacted Zoning Ordinance which embodies the regulations affecting
uses allowed or disallowed in each zone or district, and the conditions and
deviations legally allowed from the requirements of the ordinance (HLURB).
This volume is presented in two parts, the Zoning Ordinance itself and the
Zoning Map. Finally, Volume III comprises the detailed sectoral studies
conducted that provided the bases for the preparation of the CLUP.

This document is a source of data and information which enables the


City to formulate development goals and objectives, design alternatives,
and arrive at sound policies, strategies, programs, and projects. The CLUP
attempts to rationalize the allocation of the limited local land resources by
using empirical basis to analyze the existing social, economic, physical,
environmental, political and institutional situation. It is recommended to be
used by government planners and decision makers, and community leaders
for an evidence based decision making process. Private and business leaders
would be interested referring to the document for their ventures and
endeavors. The academic community, being the regular patrons of data
and information usage can use this document as one of the many available
materials for research and development.

A.6.1 Land Use Trends

A.6.1a. Commercial and residential expansion

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 in 2012, while dominantly residential use areas had

67
Olongapo City Brief Profile Comparative and Competitive Advantages
increased only by 25.17 hectares from 1,043.39 hectares in 1998 to 1,068.56
hectares in 2012.

With the City’s huge housing backlog, future demand, and long over due
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 response to this challenge.

A.6.1b. Additional secured areas - Freeport area

Using Geographical Information System (GIS) technology the current


tabulation of the Freeport area was at 1,496.06 hectares compare to 965.70
hectares in the year 2000. 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”.

A.6.1c. Competitive City

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


reduce if not totally eliminate and instead produce future generations of
competitive, world class, skilled, productive population.

Olongapo City must redeem its traditional pioneering and dynamic local
governance in the midst of fast developing neighboring municipalities and
progressive cities in the region.

A.7. Comparative and Competitive Advantages

A.7.1. A Business – friendly City

Doing business in Olongapo City, locally or internationally is ideal and at


ease, being the lone 1st class City and highly urbanized City within the Subic Bay

Olongapo City Brief Profile Weaknesses : Priority and Concerns

Acknowledged by esteemed institutions, such as the Asian Institute of


Management (AIM) in the year 2009 and the National Competitive Council (NCC)
in the year 2013 as one the country’s Most Competitive City. For several years now,
Olongapo has been recognized for being outstanding in the implementation of
streamlined business processes from 2009 up to the present. It has been cited as
the Most Business Friendly in the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and up to the present.

A.7.2. Distinct urban environment on the region

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.

A.7.3. Outstanding local governance

In the field of Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM), Olongapo City’s


disaster responders possessed the best DRR capabilities and systems. It has been a
recipient of numerous awards for several years now, including the Presidential
GAWAD KALASAG Hall of Fame. Lately it has been awarded by the Civil Service
Commission (CSC) the Presidential “Lingkod Bayan.”

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.

A.8. Weaknesses: Priority issues and concerns

A.8.1. Unaccounted land area of the City

Officially, the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office


(CENRO) accounted a total of 10,330.19 hectares based on its submitted annual
reports. It has a variance of 8,169.81 hectare from the total legislated land area of
18,500 hectares.

71
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.

The City of Olongapo should have a definite accounting of its land


classification, through a formal and official topographical study,

A.8.2. Annual loss of assets and properties due to flooding

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.

Tens of millions to hundred millions of pesos, have been the increasing


estimates of losses to properties and assets of the annual flooding events in the City.
The latest recorded highest flood level ranges from 10 to 15 feet experienced in
Barangay Sta. Rita and the scope of flooding now covers 16 barangays except
Barangay New Cabalan, an upland area.

Bridge

72
Olongapo City Brief Profile Weaknesses : Priority and Concerns

A.8.3. Housing backlog and future demand

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.

Fig 16 . Makeshift houses along Kalaklan River

A.8.4. Investment Promotion Center

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.

A.8.5. Low educational level of labor force

Thirty percent of the labor force is high school graduates, and 20% have high
school level education. Close to 7% have technical vocational education and
training, wherein half have completed their courses. College level educated
members of the labor force were 23.8% and a little less than half (7.8%) are
graduates.

73
Olongapo City Brief Profile Weaknesses : Priority and Concerns

Being a highly urbanized City, proximate to an industrial Freeport Zone, it is


imperative to improve the capability of its labor force to be significant and relevant
to the bustling economy of its neighborhood.

A.8.6. Space requirement and continuing improvement of educational and


health facilities

The projected additional space requirement until the year 2022 for both
primary and secondary classrooms (at 1:45 ratio), will reach to 8.3 hectares using
the standard “Gabaldon type” floor area.

There were no laboratories in all public schools which will require 3,444 square
meters based on standards. The projected required urinals until 2022 will be at 609
units. Canteens were not reported to exist in 11 of the elementary public schools
and 13 canteens are in poor condition.

Thirteen of the City’s elementary public schools have no report on the


condition of their libraries. Out of the 14 operating libraries 7 are in poor condition.
Fifteen of the elementary public schools have no clinics. Out of the 12 operating
clinics, 8 are in poor condition.

Eight of the secondary schools have no clinics requiring a total of 224 square
meters based on the standard viii. There were no reported libraries in 5 schools which
require a space of 7,177 square meters within the next 10 years.

As per DOH standard of 1:5000 (health center/pop.) ratio, additional


Barangay Health Centers (BHC) is needed aside from new medical equipment.
The current burial grounds used by the City cannot safely accommodate an
additional projected 14,409 deaths by the year 2022 and relocation of the City
Cemetery is needed.

A.8.7. Diligent enforcement on land usage for water source protection

Anticipating the imminent water shortage, projected by SWSCI by 2020,


crucial is the rehabilitation of the surface water catchment area, the water source
of Olongapo City in Old Dam, Barangay Gordon Heights and river bank along
Clark Street, Barangay Sta. Rita.

A.8.8. Watershed and Forest Conservation and Protection

It is imperative for the City Government to implement the long overdue


rehabilitation of the watershed and forest area to its natural state of service
capacity to decrease annual erosion, landslides, and improve its absorption
capacity during heavy precipitation.

74
Olongapo City Brief Profile Functional roles of the City

An institutionalized reforestation and river rehabilitation program is a long


term strategic endeavor to stabilize the gradual tilting ecological balance of the
City brought about by increasing urbanization, commercialization and
industrialization.

A.9. Functional roles of the City

Related to the Land Use Plan, Olongapo City has the power of eminent
domain for public use, or purpose, or welfare for the benefit of the poor and the
landless, upon payment of just compensation, provided in Section 19, of the
General Provisions, Chapter 1 of the Local Government Code of the Philippines
(LGC).

It has the power to reclassify lands through an ordinance passed by the


Sanggunian after conducting public hearings for the purpose. Moreover, Section 20
of the LGC, provides that the local government units shall, in conformity with
existing laws, continue to prepare their respective comprehensive land use plans
enacted through zoning ordinances which shall be the primary and dominant
bases for the future use of land resources: Provided, That the requirements for food
production, human settlements, and industrial expansion shall be taken into
consideration in the preparation of such plans.

Fig 17. Olongapo City Hall front façade

Through a local ordinance, it has the power to temporarily close or open any
local road, alley, park, or square falling within its jurisdiction. Permanent closure
requires a 75% vote of the local Legislative Council .

75
Olongapo City Brief Profile Functional roles of the City

Section 22 of the LGC enumerates the corporate powers of the local


government unit, which are as follows:

1. To have continuous succession in its corporate name;


2. To sue and be sued;

The City Government of Olongapo was created by virtue of Republic Act No.
4645 on 1 June 1966. And on December 7, 1983, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 166 and 168 of the Local Government Code then, the City was classified as
a highly urbanized city. Its power and authority was later modified by Republic Act
No. 7160, better known as the Local Government Code of 1991. This is vested in the
Office of the City Mayor and through its various Departments, Divisions, Branches,
Sections and Sub-Sections, performing its primary and subsidiary functions in
accordance with the rules and regulations governing the local government.

Olongapo City is governed by a City Mayor designated as its Chief Executive


Officer and by a Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) as its legislative body in
accordance with the Local Government Code. Both the Mayor and the SP are
elected directly by the people through an election, which is being held every three
years.

The Vice Mayor who is also elected together with the Mayor and the
Sangguniang Panlungsod acts as the presiding officer of the Sangguniang
Panlungsod. Political and socio-economic strength of the City are drawn from the
17 barangays which comprise the city’s basic local government units. Governed by
a Barangay Chairman and a Barangay Council, these various barangays or villages
are located mainly on the urbanized portions of the city. To date, these barangays
are still very much dependent on their day-to-day operations and assistance from
the city government. The integrated plans and programs of the City are
administered and accomplished through the forty (40) Departments/Offices that
are responsible for the economical and efficient performance of their functional
assignments.
