TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

The projections in Table A are to be considered as minimum number or modest

estimate. The area at the North is envisioned to become the growth center for
Tacloban wherein at least 12,000 households are going to settle themselves in the
span of year2017-2025 period, in addition to approximately 15,000 households that
are being relocated.

Based on the data provided by the City Housing & Community Development
Office (CHCDO), the Barangay of Origin of the following households to be
relocated to the different barangays are yet to be identified except for IPI:

2015 - Relocated to Brgy. 97 Cabalawan/Ridge View I (211/IPI)

2016 - To be relocated to Brgy. 97 Cabalawan/SM Cares (397)

1.3 Household Population by Age Group and Sex Distribution

The Tacloban City’s total household population during the 2014 census was
239,938. The economically productive or the working age (15-59 years old) has a
total of 148,980 which represents the largest share of population which is 62.09%
of the total household population. The next largest age group is the child and youth
group in the age bracket 1 to 14 years old representing 31.15% of the total
household population while the senior citizen those aged 60 and above is 6.76%.

Overall, there is male plurality in practically most of the age brackets especially
for those age 20-49 where there are more males to females by about 4.88%. But
in the age bracket 50 and above, the female outnumber the male by 16.20%. In
totality, there are more males to female’s age bracket 60 and above by 1.82% of

the total 2014 household population but considering the minuscule gap, male and
female seems to be in an even keel in terms of populating the City of Tacloban.

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

1.4 Migration Pattern by Sex

Tacloban City’s migration pattern from 1995 to 2000 has showed a net
migration rate of 7 percent as shown by the figures of the National Statistics Office.
The net migration rate has tended towards out-migration considering the various
reasons and motivations of the Taclobanon’s. Although that data is not inclusive of
the present upward population trend, it still shows that some residents go out of
the city either temporarily or permanently but a certain percentage of in-migrating
population balances the migration trend in the city.
In the total migration pattern, there are more women to men migrants. In the
in-migration trend, there are a total of 10,046 migrants, 5,278 of whom are females
and 4,768 are male. Assessing out-migration, a total of 22,581 residents resettled
in other places, women accounting for 11,548 of the total figure while men
numbered 11,033. In Table 1.6, a summarized migration pattern from the 1970 to
2000 censal years rationalized the pattern for those who leave the city for the
bigger cities or outside the country for economic purposes such as practice of
profession, business or educational purposes.

While there were in-migration activities, the purpose was somewhat similar as
most have migrated to Tacloban City to look for work or relocate businesses
considering the fast paced economic activities of the newly categorized highly
urbanized city of Tacloban (HUC). Inter-marriages also played a part in the trend.
As the city is gearing up for more economic prospects and investments as a newly
categorized HUC, it is expected that migration trend may turn from out-migration
to in-migration seeing an increased positive population growth rate in the 2007
census and the economic opportunities and speculations offered by the various
economic activities and opportunities of a highly urbanized city.

1.5 Household Distribution

In the 2014 census, Tacloban City has a total population of 239,938 and is
projected to reach 245,049 by 2015. The 2014 population distribution per barangay
used the same percentile distribution with the 2010 census so it is the same with
that of the 2014 data where the number has increased proportionately with its
projection rate.
In the 2014 census, household population is over 99 percent of the total
population because of the institutional population in the urban barangays. But most
of the barangays, particularly rural barangays, have the same household
population and total population which mean all their residents are members of the
households.

1.6 Tempo of Urbanization

In the actual census of 2010 up to 2014, it reflected that the urban and rural
population grew by an average of 2.06% annually. It is postulated that constituents
are looking towards the rural barangays for residential purposes as the urban
barangays gear for increased commercialization and industry as Tacloban City is
newly categorized as a highly urbanized city.

According to City Planning and Development Office, when Super Typhoon

Yolanda struck Tacloban City in November 2013 many were left homeless. Based
on the survey conducted about 59,610 families were found out to have damaged
houses. Totally damaged houses were about 28,351 while partially damaged
houses were about 31,224. However, there were about 36 Barangays identified to
have 14,433 families living in danger zone and in fact, those families were the
hardest hit by the storm surge during the onslaught of Super Typhoon Yolanda.
The aforementioned 14,433 families were those that need to be relocated to
Northern part of Tacloban City.

With this problem face by the city and its solution that the homeless will
eventually be relocated in the north, it is a really that in the next few years the rural
area in north will be urban in terms of classification as new socialized housing are
being built for the said 14,433 families and other residents from barangays living in
danger zones.

Urbanization is moving toward the rural barangays for residential purposes as

the urban barangays gear for increased commercialization and industrialization
owing to its new classification as a highly urbanized city. Aside from the growing
commerce and industry, the population inflock to the rural barangays can also be
attributed to the impact of climate change on the residential areas in the urban
barangays particularly along the coastal and other geohazard prone places.
Learning from the Typhoon Haiyan experience in 2013 the City government revisits
its development plans and thrusts to focus on the relocation and resettlement of
families affected by the typhoons to higher and safer grounds in the northern part
of the city. It brings about the establishment of a new township dubbed Tacloban

City Planning and Development Office 21

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

North. Subsequently, urbanization and development is geared toward the north

wherein socialized housing projects will be concentrated. Commercial and
industrial establishments as well as eco-tourism facilities and ventures will be
established in the new township to provide jobs and livelihood opportunities to the
populace.

1.7 Population Density by Barangay

Tacloban City has a total land area of 20,172 hectares. With this figure,
Tacloban City has a population density of 11.89 persons per hectare with its
239,938 total population in 2014. Projecting for the year 2015 the population would
then count to 245,049 and the population density comes at 12.14 persons per
hectare.

In the table below, the population density for 2014 is shown per barangay.

1.11 Demography and Climate Change Adaptation

Climate change plays a vital role in the demographic characteristics of the city
in the past where floods were not the primary concern of the city, this meant climate
changes and disasters brought by unusual weather conditions were far and
between. Although adverse weather conditions are natural atmospheric situations,
the adversity comes on a regular predicted time element or season. At present
times, disasters have been affecting the demographic pattern of the city in a more
distinct manner in terms of its frequency, unpredictability and strength affecting
migration pattern and location of housing suitability.

At present, the households vulnerable to climate change hazards are relocated

to the safer grounds in the Northern Barangays. Resilient multi-purpose, day care
or school buildings that can be used as evacuation centers during calamities are
being constructed in different barangays. The city government gives top priority to
the installation and enhancement of its Disaster Risk Reduction facilities such as
emergency communication system, repeaters, hand-held and base-radios at
Barangay Nula-Tula, Tacloban City in preparation for disasters and calamities.

The city’s population is witness to the erratic weather changes such as adverse
hot dry spells on a supposed rainy season, monsoons and storms during summer
times and an unusual increased sea level on given times. Pollution, inconsiderate
and uninformed constituents and improper waste management are few of the
concerns that need evaluation and assessment.

The adverse effects of these weather changes on agriculture are given due
consideration in the preparation of plans and programs for food production and
food security. Studies on crop diversification, crop rotation and planting seasons
are underway. Extensive promotion of livestock production is also being done
through livestock dispersal projects in order to ensure stable food supply during
disasters and calamities.

Human displacements and property issues are but of the few demographic
concerns brought by climate change. The city government needs to have a concise

30 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

picture of the future depicting its people, their housing requirements and their land
and property rights, giving priorities to communities most affected. According to an
international organization, strategies for rights-based planning and programming
to resolve climate-induced displacement must be instituted in every government.
All who are affected by climate change, particularly those who will be displaced
must be afforded rights and remedies that protect them, provide them with housing,
land and property options consistent with their rights and ensure them the lives and
livelihoods that are the essence of human rights and the laws and principles that
comprise them.

Tacloban City, with its diverse demographic situation of in-migration and out-
migration pattern has prepared for the position. The executive and legislative
branches of local government took this into account and the issues on
displacement, settlements and property issues were relegated to the sectoral
studies and concerns. Aside from the demographic concerns, other issues in the
infrastructure, social, economic, institutional and environmental sectors were
considered for interventions, mitigation and adaptation in the succeeding chapters
of this plan.

2.3 Air Shed

2.3.1 Ambient Air Quality

Sub-paragraph g, section 8, art.1 of Republic Act 8749 otherwise known as the

Clean Air Act of 1999 mandates LGU to prepare an Action Plan to attain and
maintain the airshed quality standard of the atmosphere of the city set by the said
law. Anent thereto, DENR Administrative no. 11, series of 2015 was issued by the
DENR secretary Ramon J.P. Paje creating Tacloban City’s Airshed which covers
138 barangays and its corresponding governing board was formed headed by the
incumbent City Mayor. Its members are composed of representatives of people’s
organizations, national government agencies, the academe and private agencies.
Its major functions, among others, are defined, as:

1. Determine the current status of air quality within its air shed;
2. Establish airshed emission inventory;
3. Intensify the operation of anti-smoke belching;
4. Policy formulation relative to clean air of the Tacloban’sairshed, and;
5. Development of Clean air action plan

After the issuance of the DENR Admin order no. 11, the regional office of the
Environment Management Bureau has been dynamic in the activation of the board
with the series of meetings and foray as part of the initial advocacy, and thus
formulated the Action Plan.
With this welcome development, the safeguard of the airshed quality of the city
for the period of the CLUP’s 2017-2025 is being ensured and monitored to comply
with the standard.

Ambient monitoring assessment including air quality status report

Ambient air monitoring stations are located in areas Robinsons Place Parking
lot, Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) grounds, and Technical Education &
Skills Development Authority (TESDA) grounds. Weekly monitoring of Particulate
Matter (PM) 10 microns or less in comparison to Total Suspended Particulates was
done using the Partisol 2000H Gravimetric PM 10 in Robinsons Place Parking Lot
and Aeroqual PM 10 Mobile in EVSU and TESDA Grounds. Results showed that
PM10 concentration (24hr averaging time) showed ‘good’ to ‘fair’ results

City Planning and Development Office 43

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

considering the air quality indices indicated under Section 4, Rule VII, Part II of the
Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 8749 (Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999)
and within the standard of 150 ug/Ncm based on the Ambient Air Quality Guideline
Values. Results showed that the station located in Robinson’s Place Tacloban
averaged 64 ug/Ncm which is above the 60ug/Ncm annual guideline value while
the stations located in EVSU and TESDA are both 13 ug/Ncm which is well below
the national guideline. Robinsons Place Tacloban is categorized as a Road-Side
Ambient Monitoring Station with the major source of air pollution coming from
mobile or motor vehicles. Stations located at EVSU and TESDA are categorized
as General Ambient Monitoring Station with major sources of air pollution from
mobile, stationary and area sources.

December, but that rainfall is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year
except on adverse periods where there is La Niña or El Niño.

2.5.1 Mean Temperature

A climate study specifically for Tacloban City was commissioned by the USAID
and conducted by the Manila Observatory using the observed precipitation and
temperature data from 1971 to 2000 provided by PAGASA. The study highlighted
that Tacloban City has been experiencing increasing mean temperature throughout
these baseline period reaching the highest observed temperature in the 1990s.
The result of the study showed that the mean temperature in Tacloban peaked on
the months of May, August and September.

As depicted in Figure 2.4, the mean daily temperature in Tacloban was

increasing throughout the baseline period of 1971 to 2000 both in the observed
and corrected model outputs in the study.

The Tacloban climate study also revealed that there has been an overall
increase in mean daily temperature by decade across all months except in March
from the 1970s to the 1980s, although the decrease is less than 0.05°C (Figure
2.5). While there was only an average increase of less than 0.1°C from the 1970s
to the 1980s from March to May, the temperature increase was generally larger for
these months from the 1980s to the 1990s. A higher increase in mean daily
temperature was observed from September to January from the 1980s to the
1990s in both cities. These months typically have longer nights, which indicate that
the large increase in mean daily temperature would lead to warmer nights.

2.5.2 Mean Precipitation

In terms of precipitation, the output of the Tacloban climate study revealed that
observed monthly precipitation and the corrected monthly precipitation in Tacloban
as shown in Figure 2.9 resembled the seasonal trend of mean precipitation for a
Type 2 climate wherein the maximum precipitation rate occurs during December to
February. The months of April and May registered the lowest rainfall in Tacloban
as per observed data.

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

The decadal mean monthly total precipitation patterns in Tacloban, as depicted

in Figure 2.10, showed that there has been an observed overall decadal decrease
in mean precipitation throughout the baseline period, which indicated drier
conditions in more months during the year. A decadal increase in precipitation was
only observed in May and August, which are normally two of the driest months in
the city. A continuous decline in rainfall was observed during the period with the
highest precipitation (November to January), except in December, which saw an
increase in rainfall from 1971 to 2000

Figure 2. 10 Decadal monthly precipitation in Tacloban for the baseline period

1971 -2000

Using the rainfall data in recent years, as demonstrated in Table 2.3, the month
of December, 2015 registered the highest rainfall with 468.7 mm. Adversely, May,
the driest month for the year registered 5.0 mm of rainfall.
5.0 mm of rainfall.

is brown to yellowish-brown granular clay loam or clay. The C Horizon below

90 cm. consist of brown to dark brown, dark yellowish brown or yellowish
brown clay loam or clay with few to common highly weathered shale.

2. The Naga-Naga series are poorly drained, fine clayey, recent alluvial soils found
on the level areas just above the swamp. The A Horizon 15 to 20 cm thick is
light gray to dark gray clay. The B horizon, 50 to 100 cm. deep, is light gray to
gray clay with few CaCO3 nodules.

3. The Caibaan series are very deep, somewhat poorly drained fine clayey soils
found on the medium plain before the undulating and slightly higher piedmont
landscapes. The A horizon 20 to 30 cm. thick is gray to very dark gray, reddish
gray to dark reddish gray silty clay to light clay with yellowish red mottles.

4. The A Horizon 10 to 20 cm. thick of the Pawing Clay is brown to dark brown
very friable sandy loam. The B Horizon 40 to 60 cm. deep is strong brown to
dark brown to dark brown sandy loam. The substrata below 60 cm. consist of
stratified layers of gray to grayish brown silt loam, sandy loam, loamy sand and
sand.

5. The Sta. Elena series are deep, somewhat poorly drained, very fine clayey
soils found on the slightly undulating piedmont landscape. The A Horizon, 15
to 25 cm. thick is grayish brown to dark gray friable clay loam with strong brown
mottles. The B Horizon, 120 to 150 cm. deep is very pale brown to heavy
yellow clay with yellowish red mottles. The C Horizon, 150 to 220 cm. deep is
pale brown heavy clay. Below the C Horizon buries A Horizon which is
characteristically greenish gray to dark gray clay loam, silty clay or clay with
common to many highly decomposed organic matters.

2.8 Geology
Four rock formation units can be found within the immediate area of
TaclobanCity and its nearby towns. These are: the Quaternary Alluvium (1.6 mya
to present); the Turbidite (successively layered rocks) sequence of Bagahupi
Formation, which is Pliocene (0.01 to 1.6 mya) in age; the San Ricardo Formation,
which is Early to Middle Miocene (11 to 23 mya) in age; and the TaclobanOphiolite
(Balce, C., 1997, pers. Comm..), which encompasses the successive sequence of
Schists, Volcanic, Serpentine and Gabbroic rocks all thought to be of Cretaceous
(65 to 135 mya) in age.

The TaclobanOphiolite is represented by the long stretch of small mountain

chains located west of Tacloban, which extends in a northwest-southeast manner.
Limited observations of igneous rock exposures at Salvacion and Tigbao suggest
basaltic origin of the rocks found in the areas mentioned. The northern portions of
Tacloban, specifically those located at the rolling hills, are underlain by the slightly
dipping Bagahupi sedimentary sequence, which has some outcrop exposures at
road cuts of hilly portions and along the shoreline of Tagpuro facing the San
Juanico Strait. Exposures are also present at the protruding headland at Anibong
Bay where three fuel depots are located.

The Tacloban City proper is underlain by the Sedimentary sequence of the

San Ricardo Formation, which is very slightly dipping. This can be observed at the
Kanhuraw Hill which is characteristically rising within a generally lowland area.

The Quaternary Alluvium overlies most of the older rock units in different
areas and it consists of recent soil deposits and sands, which can be loose or
compacted. The coastal areas and plains are covered by this kind of rock unit, like
those found along the bounding bodies of water. The Tacloban Airport at San Jose
is in itself underlain by compacted young sand deposits, which form a characteristic
sandspit structure (a coastal feature which denotes a protruding sand body towards
the sea and is attached to the mainland). Many places are underlain by the
compacted sands and soils, such as those at San Jose and places southwest of
Tacloban City proper.

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Two minor fault lines have been previously mapped out in the immediate
area of Tacloban. One is located at the western flank of the mountain chains west
of Tacloban, while the other exists at the northern area, which serves as the
boundary between the TaclobanOphiolite and the Bagahupi formation. These
faults are identified as thrust faults and are possibly inactive, but detailed studies
and data regarding the actual nature of these two geologic structures are non-
existent. The potential of these structures as earthquake generators cannot be
discounted at the moment.

Tacloban City has deposits of metallic and non-metallic mineral resources.

Metallic deposits consist of copper and iron. Non –metallic minerals are comprised

2.9 Water Resources

The water supply of the City primarily comes from the Leyte Metropolitan
Water District (LMWD), which is the sole water distributor serving the areas of San
Jose, Marasbaras, Caibaan, V & G Subdivision, Janssen Heights, Calanipawan,
Sagkahan, City Proper up to Barangay Diit along the National Highway. The water
supply source is surface water from the creeks and rivers located outside of the
city area. As of 2010, approximately 40,000 cubic meter of potable water was
delivered to the LMWD service area on a daily basis. Moreover, Tacloban City,
with over 20,000 water connections is about 75% of the total water connections of
LMWD in Leyte. Water resources outside the city are Pongso and Cabayugan
Rivers located at Municipality of jaro with an estimated watershed area of 31sq.km
and 43sq.km, respectively.

Hand pumps and wells were observed at barangays Tigbao, San Roque,
Diit, Bagacay, Camansihay, Tagpuro, New and Old Kawayan, and San Jose. Water
discharged from these sources is clean and is encouraging although no
measurements have been done to quantitatively determine the flow of water.
However, there are reports that the water flowing from deep wells close to the
coastal areas show signs of salinity which could mean saltwater intrusion into the
aquifers. Nevertheless, sub-surface water is being utilized as drinking water in
certain places of the city despite the absence of technical studies.

2.10 Potential Hazards

2.10.1 Earthquake Related/Ground Shaking

Tacloban City is generally close to the active Philippine Fault Zone (PFZ),
the ‘high angle fault line’ that runs through the middle of Leyte Island. The PFZ is
a major earthquake generator and may have been the immediate source of
earthquakes that has affected Tacloban City in the past. The Philippine Trench
(PT), which is located at the eastern coast of Samar but quite far from Tacloban,
can also be an earthquake generator on a lesser degree than that of the PFZ.

Most of the city areas are underlain by igneous rocks represented by the
TaclobanOphiolite, especially in elevated areas like Salvacion and Tigbao.
Settlements and structures located over these areas are less susceptible to ground
shaking because igneous rocks generally provide better foundation for
infrastructures.

Areas that are underlain by loosely stratified sedimentary rock units and
recent alluvial and sand deposits are more susceptible to ground shaking. The
presence of weak planar contact between the different beds of sedimentary rocks,
as well as their lower density as compared to igneous rocks, allow for an increased
effect of ground shaking. The stronger shaking is more prevalent on thick and
poorly stratified alluvial soils and poorly compacted or constantly wet sands
because these sediments are loose enough to be re-mobilized during ground
shaking.

Areas wherein these conditions allow for a strong, ground shaking potential
are the areas underlain by all the sedimentary rock units and recent alluvial and
sand deposits. Most of these areas are located along the rolling to low-lying coastal
areas of the city such as the city proper, San Jose and the Airport area, the low-
lying areas southeast of the city proper, and narrow low-lying portions along the
coast facing San Juanico Strait.

Liquefaction of the ground is also associated with this ground shaking

motion. This process usually happens in regions that are underlain by loose or

City Planning and Development Office 69

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

compacted and/or wet sands, and poorly consolidated, compact or loose alluvial
sediments. Tacloban City had been identified as one of the places in the Philippines
with a strong potential for liquefaction (Torres, et.al., 1994). The location of the
Airport in San Jose, which is southeast of Tacloban City proper is susceptible to
this kind of hazard.

Proper foundation, structural and soil engineering measures can be applied

for built structures in areas, that are prone to both ground-shaking and liquefaction
hazards. The basement bedrocks that can be stable and can withstand the effects
of earthquakes may not be too deep to reach for laying foundation to large-scale,
high density structures.

Undertaking a detailed geological and geotechnical studies in the area will

be of great importance as this will help in understanding the mechanics of the
immediate geological structures, as well as the geotechnical properties of the rocks
and sediments. All of these measures will greatly minimize the adverse effects of
earthquake-related hazards in prone areas.

Tacloban City may not have experienced tsunami but safeguards through
provision of structures which will serve as warning device to the populace of the
local government unit and improve their knowledge and preparedness for such
particular hazards shall be in placed.

2.10.2 Tsunami Prone Area

Low lying areas along the open coast are susceptible to tsunami. It occur
during the very strong earthquake wherein the wave generated are pushed inland.
There is no recorded history of tsunami that affected Tacloban City in the past have
been documented. Based on the map provided by MGB, the coastal areas that are
particularly susceptible to tsunami are the coastal barangays of San Jose,
Marasbaras and Tacloban City proper. Their proximity to deeper and open waters
(especially San Jose which is facing the San Pedro Bay), qualifies these places as
a tsunami area. See Tsunami Map

70 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

2.10.3 Flood Prone Area

The Low-lying Areas in the city are particularly susceptible to flooding. This
problem is aggravated by inadequate drainage facilities, encroachment on
drainage ways, clogging of drainage systems and removal of vegetation in the
watersheds.The low-lying areas that are prone to flooding are the lowland plains
southwest of the City proper, which include portions of Apitong, Sagkahan,
Caibaan, Calanipawan, all of Marasbaras and San Jose, portions of Tigbao, Diit,
Cabalawan, San Isidro, Tagpuro, Old Kawayan, New Kawayan and Tacloban City .
See flood hazard Map.

2.10.4 Storm Surges Prone Areas

Low areas along the open coast are susceptible to storm surges. Storm
surges occur during the strong typhoons with strong winds and heavy downpour,
and sometimes even during strong monsoons. Storm surges that affected Tacloban
City in the past have been documented. This means that this potential hazard still
exists (Gonzales, 1994). The coastal areas that are particularly susceptible to
storm surges are the coastal barangays of San Jose, Marasbaras and Tacloban
City proper. Their proximity to deeper and open waters (especially San Jose which
is facing the San Pedro Bay), qualifies these places as a surge prone area,
especially during typhoons and strong monsoons. The coastal areas along the San
Juanico Strait have a low surge potential as these places normally have relatively
calm waters and are next to a small body of water.See Storm Surge Map.

Map 11. Storm Surge Map

72 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

2.10.5 Coastal and Slope Erosion Potential

Coastal erosion does not seem to be a problem along the coasts of the inner
bodies of water. Deposition is otherwise the dominant coastal process occurring in
these areas, which is shown by observable situation at the smaller bays. This may
have been caused by the high amount of sediments being unloaded by the rivers
draining into these waters bodies. The water currents are not too strong to cause
any erosional processes along the shore.

The shoreline along the San Pedro and San Pablo Bay, on the other hand,
may have some coastal erosion potential. Although the dominant coastal process
at this area is the deposition of sediment particles, such as sand brought about by
longshore currents (sea current which moves in a direction along the shoreline,
instead of a head-on current directed towards the coast) from the sandy beaches
south of Tacloban, a disturbance in the sources of these sediments can reverse
the depositional process into an erosional one. The shoreline of San Jose generally
experiences minor coastal erosion but the loss of sand is being balanced by the
deposition of sediments coming from the south. The disturbance to sediment
supply can be caused by the construction of coastal structures at the municipalities
south of Tacloban which is beyond its territorial area.

Protection of these coastal areas from possible erosion will call for the
involvement of the other coastal municipalities which lie along the shoreline of San
Pedro Bay. An integrated coastal management program involving the concerned
municipalities will have to be conceived and implemented in order to address these
concerns. Any development of coastal structures must be evaluated in terms of
their positive and negative impacts to the coastal environment.

Slope erosion caused by heavy surface runoff during strong rains often
occur in elevated areas with considerable steepness of slopes and covered with
unconsolidated or loose rocks and alluvium. This can also occur in places where
heavy surface runoff occurs and natural vegetative cover is scarce or absent, such
as denuded hills covered with cogon grass instead of trees. These conditions
cause landslide-prone areas are mostly located at the mid-section towards the

City Planning and Development Office 73

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

southern portion of the Western mountain and hilly chains of Tacloban, especially
in slopes with minimal vegetative cover. The northern section of this mountainous
chain also has some slope erosion potential, but these can be more related to
earthquake-generated landslides rather than those caused by surface water run-
off.

Revegetation of the denuded, steep-slope areas can be an effective

measure to limit slope erosion and landslides in vulnerable areas. Engineering
measures, when possible, such as slope stabilization, can be applied in landslide-
prone areas where major infrastructures, such as national roads, are located.
Knowledge of these areas is also important in guiding the location and
development of new infrastructure.

2.11 Climate Change Adaptation

Tacloban City’s geographic location and physical characteristics have its

advantages and disadvantages that can be used to assess and evaluate the issues
concerning climate change adaptation.

The city proper, the central business districts (CBD) and other elevated
areas such as Brgys. Tigbao and partly Salvacion are underlain by igneous rocks.
These areas are less susceptible to ground shaking and provide a better
foundation for higher infrastructures. On the other hand, other areas that have
loosely stratified ground characteristics are more susceptible to earthquakes
particularly in the San Jose District. With this information, planners can recommend
measures on infrastructure such as construction of buildings, possible use of
specific areas and other concerns.

Moreover, it has been observed that most low-lying areas in the city are
susceptible to floods specifically some areas in the city proper, Brgys. Apitong,
Caibaan, Utap, Calanipawan, San Jose and some parts in the downtown area.As
a measure, the city has come up with a master drainage plan that will connect the
system to the catchment basins. The basins and rivers on the other hand need to
be dredged to accommodate big volumes of water during monsoons and prevent
massive flooding of city streets and the low-lying areas.

In anticipation of storm surges, especially in areas along the coastal

barangays of San Jose, Marasbaras and Tacloban City proper, the present
administration has lined-up several programs and projects for this specific weather
anomaly. Canals, ditches and barriers will be in place and relocation/evacuation
areas have been identified. These areas are in proximity to deeper and open
waters (especially San Jose which is facing the San Pedro Bay), and so they are
considered surge prone areas during typhoons and strong monsoons. The coastal
areas along the San Juanico Strait have a low surge potential as these places
normally have relatively calm waters and are next to a small body of water.
In any event of calamity and disaster, Tacloban city has commissioned
specific agencies to assist in any eventuality and trained personnel will be
dispatched to assist the constituents. Also, identified evacuation centers will

82 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

temporarily house affected families for their safety together with other susceptible
households and families.

Climate Change Adaptation will come as a measure for any eventuality

suited with our geographic location and characteristics. Activities to mitigate any
circumstance and assist the constituents in any disaster brought by an erratic
climate will help save lives of our people and possibly our economy.

2.12 Primary Forest and other Forest Types & Critical Watersheds

 Watersheds:

The stakeholder profile of the City’s forest and forestland areas, offers an
understanding of the current realities in watershed management. From a forest
planning standpoint, decision support systems can be developed to respond to the
peculiarities of the City’s watershed landscape which is dissected into different
watershed management units. Each of these sub-watersheds covers a cluster of
barangays suggesting spatial and functional connectivity relationships, in terms of
demography and land use. There are 6 major watershed units that had been
delineated based on topographical orientation. Seetableandmap below.

Table 2. 8 Watershed Area PerSlope Category Tacloban City

Total 6243.711 5111.284 1062.164 70.243

2.12.1 Forest Cover Status

The ratio of forest cover to forestland area (40:60) suggests a low forest
per capita. This is well below the threshold set by FAO. The REIS land cover map
show that the city has 399.39 hectares of open canopy residual natural forests.
These are found in the steeps slopes of Tigbao-Diit and Baruguan-suhi

City Planning and Development Office 83

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

watersheds. These fragments of natural forest occur at elevation ranges 300-500

masl. in the barangays of Camansihay and Bagacay. The 2009 REIS Map
identifies several land cover types, namely, annual crops, perennial crops
(coconuts), closed forest and shrubs.

2.12.2 Production and Protection Forestland

The Balance Sheet of Production and Protection Forestlands, based on

slope and elevation parameters, suggest a significantly large area (1,910.11
hectares) that can be allocated for production forestry purposes. However, the
conservation values placed for source-water protection areas (1,993.43 has) and
the presence of discontinuous forest cover, combined to create a needed layer of
protection for its degraded watersheds.

The cornerstone of the FLUP is to ensure that the balance of FFL areas not
covered by tenure regimes (CBFM, IFMA), will be earmarked for co-management.
This implies the operationalizing the provisions of DENR-DILG Joint Memorandum
Circular 2003-01 on partnership in the management of forests and forest land
areas.

The existing co-management agreement will be retrofitted to include

discrete allocation models, with the issuance of individual property rights (IPR).

The prototype for this shall apply to the 440 hectares of forest lands currently
developed and managed by the City ENRO, with assistance from GIZ. The
enhanced Co-Management Model will apply to discrete, open-access areas
specific to a particular sub-watershed. In this instance, the Co-management
agreement for Tigbao-Diit sub-watershed specifies discrete open-access,
production versus protection forestlands. See map below.

2.13 Fish Sanctuary and Coral Reefs

Dio Island, resembling like a teardrop is located less than a kilometer in the
eastern side portion of the Daniel Romualdez Airport. It is under the jurisdiction of
barangay San Jose, Tacloban City. The island was declared as a protected area
by the city, although have been privately manage by a local resort for a number of
years. The area is also being monitored and protected by the City Agriculture Office
and regional BFAR and DENR. The island’s 2 hectare area is surrounded by a
fringing reef known to many locals with having good coral cover and abundance of
fish.

Among all sites surveyed, only in Dio Island showed good coral cover
conditions after Typhoon Yolanda with live hard coral cover of 54%. Rubble was
also minimal with about 5% in both stations compared to sand and silt found
elsewhere in other sites and in Station 1 with 34%. In terms of dead coral with
algae, it was however abundant in Station 2 with nearly 30% cover.

A total of 37 fish species belonging to 15 families and 27 genera were

recorded in Dio Island, Tacloban City. Of these, eight (8) fish families with 25
species were non-target and seven (7) families with 12 species were target fish
species. Between the two (2) stations established, Station 1 registered the highest
number of target and non-target species with 23 and 10 species respectively

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

 Mangroves

Tacloban officially has 190.87 hectares of mangrove area. The mangrove

area within the city coastline was in good condition prior to the typhoon in
November 2013. However based on GIZ survey of the damage of mangrove areas
after the typhoon were summarized as follows: Brgy 75 San Jose – 70% damage;
Brgy 83 San Jose - 90% damage; BrgyBagacay- 80% damage; Brgy Nulatula-80%
damage.

During the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda, some agencies, with the support
of NGOs have conducted initial damage assessment in Tacloban City’s mangrove
areas as well as coastal resources. These conducted assessments revealed the
extent of damage in these marine ecosystems as well as remaining and resilient
species of mangroves, corals and other marine resources.

By 2014 up to December 2015, the Leyte Gulf Project and the 1 Billion Trees
project, in line with the the National Greening Program was enacted by the
Department of Environment and National Resources across the coastal areas
along Leyte Gulf to restore and replace the mangroves that died and got damaged
during and after typhoon Yolanda. See map below.

Map 21. Location of Mangrove

City Planning and Development Office 89

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

 Seagrass

There are some seagrass in Cancabato bay but not abundant in which can
be reflected in NSAP study that Tacloban’s fish catch at San Jose has steadily
declined from 2009-2014. According to GTZ study of seagrass condition in
Tacloban City in November 2013, the overall, pointed to very poor to poor
condition. Results could be attributed to the substrate type of the area which poorly
favours the growth of both seagrasses and seaweeds. Presence of debris and
material remanants from the typhoon could also have bearing on the quality of
substrate and impact on the over-all environmental conditions that possibly also
affects its growth.

After the typhoon, the coastal and marine clean-up, on the other hand took
about 2-3 years before its enactment in Cankabato Bay in 2016 while the rest of
Leyte Gulf also await debris clean-up and retrieval. While DA-BFAR has conducted
a rapid assessment of the stocks remaining in Cankabato bay with the National
Stock Assessment Program, no Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment has
been conducted yet. The last PCRA conducted within Tacloban City’s waters was
done way back in 2003.

2. 14 Wetlands

2.14.1 Rivers and Natural Drainage System

The urban area of Tacloban City has four major natural drainage ways
namely; Abucay and Mangonbangon rivers which empties to Anibong bay, while
Tanghas-Lirang and Burayan rivers empties to Cancabato Bay. Likewise, these
urban natural drainage ways, Abucay, Mangonbangon and Burayan Rivers serve
as urban drainage channels.

Likewise, the city has four bodies of water serving as drainage outlets of
these rivers and creeks. These bodies of water are Anibong and Panalaron Bays
situated in the North, and Cancabato, San Pedro and San Pablo Bays situated in
the East. The other smaller natural drainage ways located at the northwestern part
of Tacloban, drain the watershed areas of the city such as those found in

90 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Barangays Camansihay, Bagacay, Cabalawan, Sto. Niño, San Roque and Tigbao
towards the San Juanico Strait and Anibong Bay. See map below.
The AbucayRiver, located at the northwestern side of the city’s watershed area was
previously tapped for irrigation of the farm lands in barangays Abucay and Naga-
Naga. It has a catchment area of about 2.4 square kilometers and drains to the
Anibong Bay. Mangonbangon River runs 5 kilometers along the western side of the
City proper and carries part of the City’s runoff, storm water and drains towards
Panalaron Bay. The upper stretch of the national highway is swampy. Its catchment
area is around 5 square kilometers. Burayan River with a total length of 4
kilometers, has a catchment area of 6.5 square kilometers, flowing from southwest
to northeast on the southern part of Tacloban.

The mountainous area serving as the watershed is located west of the City.
A small hilly area partitions the Tacloban city’s central plain. The eastern plain
occupies the Tacloban’s Central Business District and the other half on the western
side starts to be developed into a mixed residential and commercial use. See map
below.

2.15 Geology and Mining Potential Area

The geologic data of Tacloban City is obtained from the Bureau of Mines
and Geosciences gathered by CPDO personnel. Four rock formation units can be
found within the immediate area of TaclobanCity and its nearby towns. These are:
the Quaternary Alluvium (1.6 mya to present); the Turbidite (successively layered
rocks) sequence of Bagahupi Formation, which is Pliocene (0.01 to 1.6 mya) in
age; the San Ricardo Formation, which is Early to Middle Miocene (11 to 23 mya)
in age; and the TaclobanOphiolite (Balce, C., 1997, pers. Comm..), which
encompasses the successive sequence of Schists, Volcanic, Serpentine and
Gabbroic rocks all thought to be of Cretaceous (65 to 135 mya) in age.

The TaclobanOphiolite is represented by the long stretch of small mountain

chains located west of Tacloban, which extends in a northwest-southeast manner.
Limited observations of igneous rock exposures at Salvacion and Tigbao suggest
basaltic origin of the rocks found in the areas mentioned. The northern portions of
Tacloban, specifically those located at the rolling hills, are underlain by the slightly
dipping Bagahupi sedimentary sequence, which has some outcrop exposures at
road cuts of hilly portions and along the shoreline of Tagpuro facing the San
Juanico Strait. Exposures are also present at the protruding headland at Anibong
Bay where three fuel depots are located.

The Tacloban City proper is underlain by the Sedimentary sequence of the

San Ricardo Formation, which is very slightly dipping. This can be observed at the
Kanhuraw Hill which is characteristically rising within a generally lowland area.

The Quaternary Alluvium overlies most of the older rock units in different
areas and it consists of recent soil deposits and sands, which can be loose or
compacted. The coastal areas and plains are covered by this kind of rock unit, like
those found along the bounding bodies of water. The Tacloban Airport at San Jose
is in itself underlain by compacted young sand deposits, which form a characteristic
sandspit structure (a coastal feature which denotes a protruding sand body towards
the sea and is attached to the mainland). Many places are underlain by the

94 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

compacted sands and soils, such as those at San Jose and places southwest of
Tacloban City proper.

Tacloban City has deposits of metallic and non-metallic mineral resources.

Metallic deposits consist of copper and iron. Non –metallic minerals are comprised
of red-burning clay which is used for producing bricks and pottery and chert
dimension stone used as interior and exterior building materials. See map below.

CHAPTER 3 SOCIAL SECTOR

3.1 Education

I. Existing Situation

In response to the call for a quality and lifelong learning programs and
projects the different sectors and institutions for education both public and private
are united in achieving quality education for all. Tacloban City is faced with the
challenge to sustain and maintain the city’s being the center for excellence in
education. The city government has to envisage the increasing population of
students from pre elementary up to the tertiary level. There is a need for more
modern educational equipment and facilities particularly in public schools.
Trainings and capability building for teachers and other school personnel are to be
sustained and improved. With the 2013 disaster that occurred in the city the
education sector was badly devastated in all aspects which include the students,
teachers, physical facilities (buildings computers) etc.This time after three years
the education sector is fast recovering from the disaster with the help from the
different GOs, INGOs, private and government agencies. More resilient school
buildings are being built. Both the teaching force and students had undergone
Mental Health & Psychological Services. Disaster preparedness and mitigation is
on going in the education sector. With this development there is still a need for
more school buildings particularly at the Tacloban North because it is where the
homeless victims of the disaster is being transfer. For the Tacloban North there is
a need for an estimated number of additional 384 elementary school classrooms
and 255 highschool. These school classrooms will be needed within three years
because of the ongoing transfer of families.

As shown in Table 3.4 there are 817public school teachers distributed in the
different 40 elementary schools giving a ratio of 40 elementary pupils in every one
teacher. While in the secondary school the ratio is 30 highschool students for a
teacher. The teacher-student ratio in the elementary and secondary schools are
within the standard ratio and is manageable as compared to other urban localities.
This means that the teachers could still manage their school room settings because
of the convenient number of students per teacher. For the private elementary and
private secondary schools the ratio for the elementary is 38 students to one teacher
and forty six students to one teacher for the secondary level.

The Cohort Survival Rate is shown in Table 3.6 in the elementary level, the
cohort survival rate decreased from 93.75% to 59.38% (34.37% decrease) for SY
2013-2014 to SY 2014-2015. Similarly for the secondary level the cohort survival
rate also decreased from 77.37% to 54.32% (22.64%) for the school year 2013-14
and 2014-15.The decrease of the CSR for both the elementary and secondary level
is still due to the disaster that happened in 2013.Cohort Survival Rate is the
proportion of enrolees in Grade 1 who reach grade 6 for the elementary level. CSR
for the secondary level is the proportion of enrolees in Grade 7 three years ago
who reach fourth year.

For the tertiary education the different state universities and colleges in the
city and other concerned agencies such as TESDA offered various education
programs and courses to match not only the city but also the region’s labor
requirement on agriculture, industry and services. Short term courses on
electronics and electricity trades, metal trades, mechanical trades, air conditioning
and refrigeration trades were among the center based programs offered. On the
other hand food trades, clothing, restaurant management, computer science are
some of the school based programs. Although finishing a college degree and even
vocational courses had not been a guarantee to land in a job related to the degree
these students had attained. Even with the absence of statistics data on the
percentage of graduates in the city who gets employed it is clearly felt and can be
observed that there are plenty of graduates who are jobless.

Nevertheless even with these challenges the different educational

institutions in the city both in the public and private amidst the challenges
hadgarnerednational and regional awards and citations in relation to academic
achievements, as well as being board placers in the different examinations.

Table 3.7 presents the Net Enrolment Ratio or Participation Rate in the
elementary and secondary level which refers to the ratio between the enrolments
in the school age range (6-11 years old for the elementary and 12-15 years old for
the secondary) to the total population of the respective age range. It is so evident
that there is a decrease of EPR for both the elementary and secondary. For the
elementary level a decrease of 10.09% and 7.71% decrease for the secondary
level. The decrease of the EPR for both elementary and secondary level can be
attributed to the Typhoon Yolanda where almost all the families were greatly

112 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

affected including the elementary and highschool students. The reasons that can
be attributed to the decrease in the EPR are the following:
 Transfer of families to another place/school like Cebu City, Manila etc.
 Trauma/Emotionally disturbed
 Death
 Some classrooms were still used as evacuation center
 Schools were destroyed discouraging students to report to school

B. Existing Schools, Location, Facilities & Conditions Hazard

Susceptibility

Table 3.8 and 3.9 shows the different schools by level, facilities, condition
and hazard susceptibility. It would be noted that all public schools particularly those
located at the downtown area and San Jose are susceptible to storm surge. (See
Map showing the hazard susceptibility of the schools) This was experienced during
the onslaught of Typhoon Yolanda. These public schools were also used as
evacuation centers. However for the private schools only few were used as
evacuation center. After two years these schools were repaired reconstructed
making it more resilient. The schools that are high in hazard susceptibility should
be retrofitted, rebuilt or transferred to a higher or safe area. Some of the schools
which were provided assistance from the different INGOs were able to build a
resilient school classroom or school buildings. Some of these schools are the
Marasbaras Elementary School, San Fernando Elementary School, San Jose
Elementary etc. These schools are much better than their previous old
buildings.Other schools had elevated their buildings and constructed second floors.

II. Projected Needs/ Requirement

Correspondingly the number of projected enrolees as shown in Table 3.10

has the same increasing trend at all levels indicating the need for more classrooms
and teachers. At the start of the planning period there is a need for 75 teachers in
the elementary. However for the secondary school there are enough teachers for
the year 2017, but for the year 2018 there is a need for 6 teachers. While for the
rooms there is a need for 39 classrooms in the elementary and 155 classrooms in
the secondary at the start of the planning period. For the 9 year planning period a
total of 202classrooms in the elementary and 256 classrooms are needed for the
secondary public schools. (See Map for the proposed elementary & secondary
school classrooms) On the other hand there are 238teachers needed in the
elementary and 95 teachers in the secondary level.

Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

With the experience of the worst disaster the city has ever encountered the
education sector has to start back from scratch. Looking back three years ago
when the city was considered to be in ‘ground zero’, the education sector survived
the challenges. With all the aid from both local and international organizations,
resilient school buildings were constructed, retrofitted and transferred. School
facilities were replaced.

3.2 Health and Sanitation

I. Existing Situation

A. General Health Situation

As a Highly Urbanized City, the present administration envisioned to

improve the delivery of basic health and sanitation services, nutrition, other socio-
economic and developmental services including infrastructures responsive to the
needs of the population especially to the poor and the underserved with the
ultimate goal of attaining quality of life for all Taclobanos complimenting with the
National Objectives for Health and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s) in
implementing framework for health reforms.

These plans are programmed through the path of socio-economic

transformation through urbanization. The City Government is equipped to meet the
health demands for this general revolution towards progress that will give back
every edge of benefit to its people. With the grace of the Lord Almighty and the
help and cooperation of its citizens, Tacloban will be one of the healthiest and the
safest place to live in the Region and the Philippines as well.

Table 3.12 shows comparative description of the health condition of the city
for the past five years (2011 – 2015). These figures are not exclusive for the
residents of the city because a modest number of residents from other
municipalities or provinces who accessed the different health care facilities in the
city, given medical attention and died in Tacloban City were included in the
statistics.

It is evident that there is an erratic increase of mortality cases in year 2013

and 2014 basically due to typhoon Yolanda’s aftermath, damages to life. It is
somehow reflected with the highest Crude Death Rate during these years of 12.26
and 17.35 respectively. Drowning as the top leading cause of mortality in 2013.

Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) and Under Five
Mortality Rate (U5MR) is consistently way below the MDG target for the past 5

City Planning and Development Office 141

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

years. The most common cause of death among neonates, infants and children
under five are pneumonia, prematurity and sepsis. These deaths can be attributed
to non immunization, poor management of common childhood illnesses, poor
health practice of some parents especially at the rural and informal settlements,
poor environmental sanitation, congestion or poor health seeking behavior of the
family. Factors associated with IMR-NMR-U5MR warrant not just improving
maternal and child health care programs but uplifting the socioeconomic conditions
as well.

Prematurity among newborns can be attributed to gaps in care for pregnant

women before, during, and the immediate period after childbirth.Services under the
domain of the City Health Office and hospitals (private/public). Special emphasis
has to be made on access to prenatal care services, during which infections that
are known to cause prematurity are detected and addressed appropriately.

The uprising trend in Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is quite alarming.

Though only 3/18 maternal deaths are residents of Tacloban, the gaps still needs
to be addressed and given more emphasis especially that all deaths are hospital
based. Maternal, Neonatal, Child Health and Nutrition (MNCH) interventions and
advocacy campaigns needs to be strengthened. The most common maternal death
causes are pregnancy induced hypertension, bleeding/shock, obstetric
complications and pregnancy related infections. These can be attributed on the
three delays: delay in deciding to seek medical care, delay in reaching appropriate
facility and delay in receiving appropriate and adequate care at the facility.

It is evident in Table 3.13 that diseases of the lungs such as URTI,

pneumonia, ARI, PTB, bronchial asthma and bronchitis consistently on top ranks
as the most common leading causes of morbidity among all ages for the past 5
years. Pneumonia on its 1st rank in 2013, and consistent on its 2nd rank for two
consecutive years (2014 & 2015). The consistency of these diseases as leading
causes of morbidity may be attributed in poor environmental condition, sudden
change of climate, poor health and hygiene practices especially in rural and
resettlement areas, congestion, poor health seeking behavior and lack to financial
access for medical consultation.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) is drastically climbing up from rank 10 in

2012, 6th in 2014 and now it’s on its 4th rank as leading cause of morbidity and
ranks 8th in mortality. These remains to be a major problem in the city. Environment
- Friendly Ordinances like anti-spitting Ordinance, solid waste management and
other related laws and regulations has to be revisited and strictly implemented to
somehow contain disease transmission. Factors such as congestion, living in one
quarter due to limited space, climatic condition, patient treatment compliance and
financial capacity is also to be considered.

The lack of permanent NTP nurse significantly impacts the implementation

of the program. Continuity of care is disrupted; gathering of data,

City Planning and Development Office 143

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

recording/monitoring and reporting is delayed and compromised specially in

advising/scheduling patients for sputum exam, follow up examinations and tracking
lost to follow up patients (TALF) which resulted to lowering of the Cure Rate.
Advocacy, communication and social mobilization remain to be strengthened,
presently there is no community based organization established to help
disseminate information and improve awareness/education in the fight against TB.

It is also worth noting that road traffic injuries (vehicular accident) is an

emerging problem in the city. Advocacy and strict implementation of road traffic –
related ordinances, laws, rules and regulations need to be strengthened.

Healthy Lifestyle, Health Risk Management Initiatives in the aim of removing

the common cause of mortality and morbidity from the top 10 linelist has started. It
is evident enough in the sudden drop of lifestyle diseases in the linelist as shown
in this table. HPN of all types drops from 4th rank in 2014 to 7th in 2015. Health
consciousness and adaptation to healthy lifestyle activities and exercises has
contributed much. Access to regular provision of maintenance medications for
hypertensive and diabetic is also considered. Climate change adaptation measures
are also being strongly advocated and taken into consideration.

Table 3.14 shows that lifestyle diseases such as Hypertensive

Cardiovascular Disease (HCVD), Myocardial Infarction (MI), kidney Diseases and
CA of all types are fast rising as leading causes of mortality in the city. Emphasis
on health service delivery must be taken into account in the prevention of onset of
lifestyle diseases through promotion of healthy lifestyleadvocacies and activities.
Limitations in the provision of diagnostic and therapeutic support to these patients
at the primary health care facilities has to be considered such as lack of Medical
Technologists and laboratory equipments in providing blood chem. analysis and
ECG. Provision of medications is also limited.

On the other hand, road traffic injury (vehicular accidents) is an emerging

problem as well and causes death at no. 6 while pulmonary tuberculosis remains
a major health problem and is climbing up from rank 9 in 2014 to 8 in 2015. TB
Cure Rate and Treatment Success Rate of 47%, 63% in 2014 and 62%,66% in
2015 respectively is still below the national benchmark .

B. Facilities and Manpower

146 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Table 3.15 shows that pool of health facilities and manpower resources is
within the city. It has six operating hospitals. Two are government owned hospitals
namely: Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center (EVRMC) which is under the
Department of Health RO8 and Tacloban City Hospital under the City Government
of Tacloban. Four other hospitals are privately owned such as Divine Word
Hospital, Remedios Trinidad Romualdez (RTR) Hospital, Mother of Mercy Hospital
and Tacloban Doctors Medical Hospital. In line with the hospital capabilities,
EVRMC and Divine Word Hospital are providing the highest level curative care
(Tertiary Care/Level III) while others provide secondary level/Level II of care.

The city provides, with efficiency, all the priority government health services
in its 6 District Health Centers and 24 primary health care facilities. These 6 District
Health Centers are all PhilHealth accredited with PCB, MCP and TB-DOTS and 1
speacial health unit (MASA) accredited with PCB. Tacloban City Hospital is a 25-
bed hospital providing general adult and pediatric medical, obstetric-gynecology
and surgical care. It is a CEmONC center and is PhilHealth-accredited. It still lacks
equipment for more complex clinical care.

There are 2 newly built Health Centers donated by INGO’s which the city is
planning to establish as District Health Center (Abucay District Health Center and
Sto. Niño (GMA) District Health Center).

Followingthe DOH-prescribed population to health personnel ratios, the city

does not conform to the standards. As shown in table above it is evident enough
that the city really needs additional manpower resources. We are in dire need of
doctors, nurses, midwives, medical technologists and other allied health workers
that will cater the primary health care needs of the constituents with quality and
efficiency although the DOH provides health manpower support through their
Deployment Program (NDP’, RHMPP’s, PHA, DDP, MDP).

The voluntary sector such as Barangay Health Worker’s (BHW), Barangay

Nutrition Scholars (BNS) and Barangay Service Point Officers (BSPO’s) also

City Planning and Development Office 147

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

provides support at the health center and community levels. They are our active
partners in the delivery of basic health care services on the field.

All these health facilities (hospitals, district health centers and barangay
health stations) are susceptible to typhoon (Low, Medium, and High). Flood prone
BHS is Apitong BHS while other BHS such as Magallanes BHS, Bliss Sagkahan
BHS, Ilong BHS, Fatima BHS, Seawall BHS, Cabalawan BHS, Burayan BHS and
Fisherman”s BHS are storm surge susceptible.

C. Nutrition

The City Nutrition Office is in charge in monitoring the nutritional status of

preschool children in Tacloban City. The office also provides programs and services
related to nutrition with the assistance of the trained Barangay Nutrition Scholars
(BNS). Table 3.16 shows the nutritional status of preschool children for the last
three years. For the year 2013, of the 26,913 preschool children weighed 370 or
1.37% were severely underweight. The alarming increase in the underweight and
severely underweight children was an aftereffect of typhoon Yolanda. Lacks of
nutritious food, potable water were among the contributory factors to the increase
of underweight and severely underweight children in the year 2013. With the efforts
of the city government and assistance from NGOs, INGOs& other agencies
supplemental feeding, nutrition education, and trainings on Nutrition in
Emergencies (NIE) were provided both to the child and mothers. This resulted to
the decrease of underweight and severely underweight children in the years 2014
and 2015. The number of severely underweight children and prevalence of
underweight children is one of the indicators for the Millennium Development Goals
under the number one goal which is eradication of extreme poverty and hunger.

private cemeteries located at Brgy. 94-A Basper, Brgy, 99 Diit and Brgy. 96. These
cemeteries are not yet fully occupied, because of its high cost. Only a few could
afford these private cemeteries.

E. Toilet Facilities

Table 3.18 shows that 91% of the total households have access to sanitary
toilet facilities, while 4% with unsanitary toilet facilities and 4% has no toilet facility.
Households with unsanitary/no toilet facilities can be attributed with poor
knowledge on the importance of toilet facility and it’s health effects, financial
capability, geographical location of the household and the type of land ownership.
However, the city has initiated interventions in addressing this issue. Strengthened
advocacy campaigns on Phil. Approach to Total Sanitation (PhATS), Water
Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH) activities has been conducted and
enhanced.

It would be noticed that those barangays living along the coastal areas are
the ones with unsanitary toilet or no toilet at all. With the assistance from INGOs
particularly Save the Children in partnership with the City Health Office Zero
Defecation Program.

3.3 Housing

I. Existing Situation

On 08 November, 2013, Super Typhoon Yolanda (International Name:

Haiyan) struck the Philippines with wind speeds of more than 300 km/h and storm
surges of over four meters. Typhoon Yolanda affected a total of 3 million families
or 14 million people and damaged a total of 1 million houses across 9 of the 17
regions of the country (DSWD, 2014). Tacloban, the regional hub of Region VIII
and the 5th fastest growing city in the country, suffered the greatest damage to
housing and settlements among all cities/ municipalities in the country with 30,513
totally damaged and 23,718 partially damaged houses, accounting for 5 percent of
the total damaged houses at the national level (TRRP, 2014).

Tacloban Development Group was created to come up with a plan to solve

the increasing housing backlog of the city which was aggravated with the worst
disaster that struck the region/city. This group is spearheaded by the City Housing
and Development Office together with other offices, UN habitat and other partner
NGOs/INGOs. A Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) was conducted
with different stakeholders of the city. CCVA analysed the city’s exposure,
sensitivity, adaptive capacity and relative vulnerability to climate change.

In Tacloban City out of the 138 barangays there are 102 barangay identified
as coastal barangays (RA 8550 known as the Phil. Fisheries Code of 1998 defining
coastal barangays within 1km from the shoreline)from this total HH there are
12,012 Informal Settler Families. However the ISFs that would be given priority are
the ISFs along the 36 coastal barangays that experienced 3-5 meter storm surge
(5,400 ISFs)
.
Initially the city government identified the Northern Barangays as the
relocation sites for ISFs and housing projects. There are 26 New Resettlement
Areas/Socialized Housing located at the Tacloban North.

Table 3.25 shows the housing situation of the city for the last three censal
years. For the years 2007 and 2010 there was a 7% increase in the no. of
household. However the increase in number of household is not equivalent with
the number of housing units. There is an excess of 720 household between 2007
and 2010. Similarly the increase in the number of household between 2010 and
2014 does not correspond with the increase in housing units. This data indicates
that the city has a high housing shortage and it will continue to increase in the next
years. The city government and other agencies have to come up with housing
projects particularly for the ISFs, those along the NBZ and other hazardous area
to answer the increasing housing backlog of the city.

The housing backlog of the city for the year 2015 is shown in Table 3.26
Housing backlog are composed of the doubled-up households, unacceptable
housing units and makeshift/salvage and improvised household. In addition to
these, informal settlers, homeless, and those living along danger zones are also
included in determining the housing backlog. Table 3.26 shows 14,659 housing
backlog.

Tacloban City being a highly urbanized city where economic activity is at its
highest, the influx of people also increases. There is a rapid increase of informal
settlers. They have proliferated in vacant and government lots along coast,
riverbanks and creeks. With this condition aggravated by the fast increase in
population, consequentially, the problem of growing housing needs. Informal
settlers are those living in danger areas like along the shoreline, on lands
earmarked for government infrastructure, areas where there is a court order for
eviction and demolition. It would be noted that these informal settlers are mostly
families who earn income in a daily basis like vendors, drivers, farmers, fisherfolks
and migrants who flock into the city to earn a living.

Then again, Table 3.27 presents the different informal settlers in the city
occupying an area of 37.6hectares with a minimum of 15 sqm per household. Most
of these settlers are found in the urban area especially where economic activities
are conducted. Since they are situated in urban barangays they also have access
to the different facilities, utilities and amenities afforded to the people like electricity,
water, roads, transportation, etc.

identified resettlement sites at the Tacloban North. These resettlement sites are
located at the northern barangays namely Brgys. Cabalawan, Camansihay, San
Isidro, Sto Nino, Old and New Kawayan, Sta. Elena & Tagpuro. These resettlement
sites had already houses available a total of 16,531 families will be beneficiaries of
the housing program of the city. The barangay officials have a crucial role in
minimizing the informal settlers in the city. They have to be vigilant on people who
want to live in their respective barangays and should not allow informal settlers but
rather refer them to concern agencies. This resettlement site has a total of 733.624
hectares.

Presented below in Table 3.29are the housing facilities for the last 3 censal
years. For the city of Tacloban majority of households are served with essential
facilities and utilities such as water, electricity and garbage collection system.
However there is a lot to be desired in terms of efficiency and quality of service with
these mentioned facilities and utilities. Almost all household in the city are not
satisfied with the water system due to its insufficient flow of water. Likewise the
increasing electric bill is a cause for much complains from electric consumers. In
terms of garbage collection, a household has to practice waste segregation so as
to minimize garbage. Collection of garbage is sometimes inefficient because
schedule is not followed.

For the tenure status of housing and lot, it is shown in Table 3.30 that 35 %
of the household does not own the lot while 9% live in a lot without the consent of
the owner. On the other hand 37% of the household in the city owns house and lot.
This shows that there is more than half of the household in the city which has no
security of tenure for housing. The need for low cost housing is increasing as the
population grows. Likewise there is proliferation of informal settlers in the city
especially that it is a highly urbanized city. More low cost housing projects should
be implemented by the local government.

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

II. Development Needs/ Requirements

For the next 9 years the city has a total housing needs of 26,816 and on the
first year of the plan period (CY 2017) the city has to respond to the housing
backlog of 14,659 (Table 3.26). Likewise in the succeeding years the city has to
take action to the increasing housing needs from the year 2017-2025. The housing
need for every year of the plan period is a result of the increasing number of new
households per year and the housing backlog of the city. If not addressed this type
of urban problem will keep on increasing especially that Tacloban is a highly
urbanize city. The proliferation of informal settlers will increase, thereby creating
more problems to the city and the whole population. Republic Act No. 7279
otherwise known as Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992 provides an
answer or solution to this problem. It promotes socialized housing for
underprivileged and homeless individuals. On the other hand the localleaders
particularly at the barangay level has to be vigilant in monitoring the influx of people
in their respective barangaysand should not tolerate informal settling. The
proliferation of informal settlements can cause many problems such as inadequate
facilities like roads, water, electricity, and no security of tenure, poor health and
sanitation, limited opportunities for livelihood etc. solving these problems need link
aging with other NGOs, National Agencies, other Civil Society Groups and foreign
organizations who can assist homeless families to avail of housing program.

By the end of the planning period, a 100% target on the housing needs is
envisioned. Thus, with a total of 28,816 housing needs, wherein 46% of these are
informal settlers and 54% are due to increase in population and doubled up
households it is. Assumed that a total of 26,816 housing/dwelling units will be
constructed. Of these housing needs a total of 17,698 are for socialized housing
whose beneficiaries are the victims of typhoon Yolanda..

Total residential land area requirement based on the projected housing

needs by year 2025 is 360.2 hectares. Of this total land area requirement 178.98
has is needed for socialized housing where 100 sq.m. is allotted for each housing
unit. Socialized housing caters to the needs of the underprivileged and homeless
families. The city has identified socialized housing sites at the northern barangays

City Planning and Development Office 207

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

particularly in Barangays 108, 107,106, 101,102,105, 98, & 97. Different INGOs,
INGOs, Government Agencies and the City Government of Tacloban are the
proponents of these different housing projects for the city.

Climate Change Adaptation

The city had the onslaught of supertyphoon Yolanda. Learn from

experience. Build houses at a safer areas. Relocation sites should be situated at
safer areas. There has to be a climate change adaptation and mitigation plan for
settlement and resettlement in consultation with affected barangays and its
constituents including private sectors and civil society groups. The city has
identified the Tacloban North for housing projects particularly for the typhoon
Yolanda victims. Low cost housing must be constructed in accordance with climate
resilient design standards.
In addition the city government must enforce and upgrade standards of
building code, incorporating new climate change resilient design standards for new

rain water cistern and waste water management system to maximize water
resources.

3.4 Social Welfare

I. Existing Situation

Super Typhoon Yolanda that razed Tacloban City last November 08, 2013
caused tremendous damaged on lives and properties of Tacloban City. Records of
the City Social Welfare and Development Office showed that 30,513 dwelling units
were totally damaged while 23,718 were partially damaged.
With this situation, families were displaced and even lost their livelihoods
leaving most of them emotionally disturbed.
City Social Welfare and Development Office being the welfare arm of the
City Government of Tacloban immediately provided social protection programs
through the delivery of comprehensive social services and projects that are in
tuned with the present situation.

Table 3.33 presents the different social welfare facilities in the city both
government & private. The clientele served are the disadvantage persons/families,
and the vulnerable sector which needs protection. (PWD,Senior Citizen, children
& women. These facilities provide different services from financial assistance,
referrals, shelter assistance, counseling, trainings, and livelihood opportunities
among others.

The Women Center and Day Center for Street Children provides temporary
residential care and protection to the abandoned, orphaned, abused, exploited and
neglected children, youth and women.

II. Development Needs, Issues/Requirements:

With the present social welfare facilities the city still lacks other facilities such as
the following:
- Holding Center for CICL (.05has) – this center is for the pre delinquent
children and youths and children in conflict with Law. The children in conflict
with law are those children whose cases filed in court or adjudged, and
delinquent youths/ children are those that have committed crimes, but are
not filed in court but rather they are given diversion programs in the
community by a social worker, barangay council, and parents/ guardians. In
most cases they are repeaters of crimes, meaning that diversion program is
not so effective in the community but is appropriate on a center based
setting.

- Senior Citizens Center (.05has.) During Typhoon Yolanda the Senior

Citizens Center in Brgy. 99 Diit, Tacloban City was severely damaged and
has not been reconstructed.

- A hospital or center for mentally challenged persons but this is a Regional

concern. The City Government of Tacloban thru the City Social Welfare and
Development Office has a budget for the medical needs of the mentally
challenged persons to residents in Tacloban City. But those proliferating

214 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

around the city about 90% come from other municipalities and they are left
roaming around the city due to absence of mental care hospital for their
confinement.

- Two Information and Communication Training Centers were totally

damaged during Typhoon Yolanda in Brgy. 88 San Jose and Brgy. 64
Sagkahan and only one center is operational, at present there are applicants
for the program who are waiting for the next batch of computer literacy
session since they cannot be accommodated because the capacity of the
ICT Center is only good for 25 enrollees (.02has).

For the 3-4 years old children the early childhood care and development is
provided through the daycare service program. Tacloban City has 58 Day Care
Centers located at the different barangays with an average area of 48-50 sq.meter.
(See Table 3.34 for the Location of Daycare Centers). Subsequently Typhoon
Yolanda damaged these Day Care Centers . Presently these day care centers were
reconstructed, retrofitted making it more resilient. Day Care Centers were built on
safer areas. For the new Tacloban North 31. Day Care Centers will be needed
within three years where in more families will be relocated.

II. Projected Needs/ Requirements

For the projected number of day care centers, the city will need 22 daycare
centers for the plan period on the assumption that the variance of 55 day care
centers at present will be constructed. The projection for the number of day care
centers was on the standard of 1 day care center for every 500 families. For the
Tacloban North it will need 31 additional day care centers.(Table 3.35)

For the projected number of social welfare clientele Table 3.36 shows that
for the year 2017 the social welfare clientele is 51,120 and for 2025 it increased to
60,508 or by 18.4%. This increase is minimal on the assumption that the social
welfare clientele decreased because the individual clientele provided by the social
services had improved his way of living and is now self reliant. It is also assumed
that the social welfare facilities had been improved and are more resilient where
the needed services were provided.

3.5 Protective Services

A. Tacloban City Police

The major concern of the Tacloban Police is to provide general safety and
security to the constituents of Tacloban City. Their main focus is a widespread
campaign on crime prevention and control. They also introduced new strategies
and devices to combat criminality which brought about reduction in crime incidents.

For the year 2015 the Total Crime Volume (TCV) was placed at 3,408, where
in a increase of .24% was recorded as compared to the year 2014 (3,400 TCV).
Remarkably, Index Crimes decreased from 1688 in 2014 to 1,124 in 2015. However
the Non- Index Crimes increased from 1,712 in 2014 to 2,284 in 2015. The Crime
Solution Efficiency for 2014 was 33.38%. For 2015 the Crime Solution Efficiency
was recorded at 75.77%. An increase of 42.5% Crime Solution Efficiency was
recorded for 2015. The increase of Crime Solution Efficiency can be attributed to
the widespread campaign of the police against all forms of criminal acts. The
involvement of Barangay Officials and the people can also be contributory to
minimize crimes in the city. Police visibility is also effective in crime control and
prevention. The current establishment of more Police Sub Stations in strategic
areas is also a way of preventing crime and illegal activities.

However with the rapid increase in population where in the city being highly
urbanized is not only populated by its residents. The influx of people coming from
other municipalities and cities, for various purposes is inevitable. The recent
augmentation of police personnel and police volunteers is still not enough to
provide for the general safety and security not only of the Taclobanons but also the
other people that comes to the city. There is also a need to provide modern
equipment and weapons in the different substations. There is also a need to

232 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

strengthen and expand the campaign of all forms of crime and illegal activities. The
full participation and cooperation of the people in the barangay has to be
maximized because it is very crucial and relevant in preventing, controlling and
solving crimes. (Table 3.41)

the city against the occurrence of fire. For the year 2014 there was an increase of
fire incidents from 51 in 2014 to 57 in 2015. In order to minimize fire incidents in
the city, the Bureau of Fire Protection conducted the following activities:

For the year 2013 there were 17 fire incidents that occurred. Comparatively
the fire incident that happened in 2014 decreased by 47%. This decrease of fire
occurrence is a result of the city wide campaign of Tacloban Central Fire station
on fire prevention and safety.

The total number of police personnel for the year 2015 is 315, which place
the police to population ratio of 1:778. This ratio is behind the ideal police to
population ratio of 1:500. However the number of police meets the minimum
standard of police to population ratio of 1:1000.

For the fire force for year 2016 they still lack 51 fire personnel. On the
assumption that these shortage of personnel will be fully filled up, from 2017-2025
the Fire Department will need 3 fire personnel per year.

While improvements have been made with the Bureau of Fire Protection in
terms of personnel and equipment, there is still a need to augment and upgrade
the existing personnel and fire equipment. At present the city has enough no. of
fire trucks. At the end of the planning period the fire department of the city will need
3-4 firetrucks .What would be taken into consideration are the maintenance of the
firetruck and the availability of water especially during the occurrence of fire.With
the increasing number of population at the Tacloban North there is a need for 2 fire
Substations to be located at Brgy. 93 and Brgy.106.

Whereas the Jail Personnel the Jail Guard to inmate population ratio is
equal to 1 jail guard for 5 jail inmates. At present the number of jail inmates are
643 against 64 jail guards with a ratio of 1:10. Jail personnel needed 64 additional
jail guards at present and every year on the assumption that there will be an
increase of inmates by 3% the BJMP Tacloban will need 5-6 jail guards every year.

Climate Change Adaptation

Climate Change as the word suggest are changes or alteration or shift in a

regions overall weather patterns, including precipitation, temperatures, cloud cover
and so on. According to the scientific experts in the field of climatology, climate
change is caused by human activities that have resulted in an increased
concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide,
water vapor, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide. All write-ups and publications on
climate change says that it is not only an environmental issue but also a health
issue. Climate change will affect the health of the people through changing patterns
of disease. The availability of food and water will also be affected. Not all of the
city’s infrastructure and other facilities are designed to cope with climate change.
Hence the need for reforestation, disaster risks assessment and community
mobilization. It is at this point that the people old and young, rich and poor should
all be aware of the impact and effect of climate change. Readings on climate
change confirms that studies show the increases on cardiovascular diseases,
respiratory diseases. In addition the rising temperature will affect the spread of
communicable diseases, mosquito causing illnesses like malaria and dengue as
well will rise.

On the other hand changing of the climate will also affect the agricultural
products. This irratic weather condition will bring about frequent severe floods,
droughts, and storms reducing water and food supply.

250 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

It is imperative that the city has to take measures and mitigations to adapt
to climate change because the environment, health, & economy will be most
affected and the people as well especially the vulnerable sectors of society like the
children, women, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, poor communities and
poor families. When disaster occurs these vulnerable sectors mentioned are the
priority group that has to be taken to safety and should be prepared. However with
the onslaught of typhoon Yolanda nobody was spared even the rich families were
affected. There was no medicine available, no electricity, no water, food shortage,
security and peace were at risk and the mental anguish was high. After two years
disaster preparedness and mitigation is a must. Everybody should be prepared,
every citizen in this city has to be oriented on Climate Change and Disaster Risk
Reduction and Prepararedness.

CHAPTER 4 ECONOMIC SECTOR STUDY

Tacloban City has a fast growing economic scenery and this was proven
true by its recent transition from a component city into a highly urbanized city
(HUC). As the first HUC in Region 8, Tacloban started to set its priorities in terms
of economic gains and self-sufficiency. With a healthy local economy and receptive
citizenry, Tacloban City is now going through to its full development and expansion.

The study on Tacloban City’s local economy seeks to help us understand

the structure of the city in terms of its’ various economic activities as well as the
extent of contribution these activities bring about. With the onslaught of Super
Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) and the devastation it created to the local economy, it
is crucial for the Local Government Unit to recoup what has tremendously been
lost while considering the effects of Climate Change which is seriously threatening
across the globe.

The performance of various sectoral areas on economy are presented in

the following tables, figures and maps to describe the present economic situation
of Tacloban City as well as the different strategies necessary to “build-back-better”
without compromising the health and well-being of the environment and its
populace.

Given its natural endowments, agriculture and fisheries remain as the

primary sector of the economy in the wider region despite its high vulnerability to
natural disasters. The overall goal is to strengthen the sector asone of the sources
of jobs and income among the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) through higher
farming and fishing productivity and the use of natural and sustainable
technologies at the livelihood and enterprise levels that serve the local, regional
and national markets. Disaster resilence elements will be the key considerations in
the technologies to be adopted and in the institutional arrangements, given the
geographical and climatic context of the area.

Considerig the vulnerability of the area to disasters, provision of off-resource

livelihood opportunities for farming and fishing families through training in other
skills of interest is important to diversify sources of incomes. This will target other
members of the family and train them on specific skills demanded by the market in
the other economic sectors (e.g. construction, health and wellness, hotel
housekeeping, etc.) to promote disaster-resilient economic activities and ensure
that at least 2 members of the family have different sources of income.

Tacloban City’s Trade and Services has been and is expected to continue
to be the backbone of the city’s economy in the foresseable future. Agriculture,
fisheries and aquaculture and livestock and poultry on the other hand, are also
expected to be the primary source of livelihood and employment for the majority of
the people of Eastern Visayas. Strengthening the Industry, Manufacturing and
Processing sectors’ role in Tacloban North while complying with strict
environmental regulations results in a win-win scenario as it harnesses and
integrates use of the raw outputs from the agriculture and fisheries sector from
within the city and surrounding towns and provinces, inclusively employing the
available trained labor pool from those that will residenin Tacloban North, thus
resulting in increased diversified value-added activities that will bring higher
revenue and economic resilience to the city and the rest of the region.

Over the long term period, the Industry sector is projected to contribute a
solid thirty percent (30%) or more to the city’s annual revenues, coming from a
combination of major construction projects in real estate for medium and high-end
residential housing, tourism-oriented commercial projects, industrial developments
and the diversification into more light manufacturing enterprises within the
established economic zones. With the proposed expansion of the Leyte Industrial
Development Estate (LIDE) Ecological Industrial Zone in Northwest Leyte,
coordinated integration shall be promoted with the downstream copper industry
manufacturers providing materials/components as inputs to the light industry
enterprises that will be investing in Tacloban North’s light industry economic zones
such as appliance, electronics/electrical components manufacturers, automobile
parts assemblers and construction supply companies.

Within the wider Trade and Services sector, special focus on Tourism and
MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibits) activities is advocated
which ultimately aims for long term development of these areas.

4.1 Agriculture

I. Analysis of Existing Situation

The phenomenal Super Typhoon Yolanda practically destroyed 85% of the

meager agricultural products Tacloban City managed to sustain through the years.
Popularly dubbed as “Ground Zero”, the very fateful day intensified the challenge
to make use of what’s left of the tillable land, seemingly lifeless water and the
livestock who could also rightfully claim that they too “survived”. Hand in hand with
the farmer communities of the north our pool of agricultural technologists and
personnel conducted series of assemblies to evaluate what the need maybe and
where the help would come from. The succeeding tables and figures will show how
insufficient our supplies are but moreso, on how the Local Government Unit along
with the help of various Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and International
Non-Government Organizations (INGOs) have continued to uphold the life and
dignity of our unsung heroes.

4.1.1 Crop Production

The total area utilized for crop production is 2,586.53 hectares which
consequently yielded a total 7,821.27 metric tons in all major crops with an
estimated production value of P192, 436,960.90. It will be observed that the
decrease in area for utilization from 3,367.35 (2014) to 2,586.53 (2015) was due
to the reclassification of agricultural land use to cater to the housing needs of the
displaced families along coastal areas. Table 2.2.1.2 illustrates the specific area
consumed by each crop from comparative years 2014-2015 and the volume and
rate of increase or decrease of production which is directly supplied in the local
market. Translating these figures based on the per capita food requirement of each
crop for the year 2017, the city is only capable of supplying about 0.0076% of its
rice and corn, 0.038% for vegetables, 0.0077% for fruits and 0.0034% for
rootcrops.

City Planning and Development Office 261

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

In 2014 the entire 386 hectares allocated for rice production was planted
with rice because of the several input assistance provided by Food and Agriculture
Organization and the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Offie-8 (FAO & DA-
RFO8). Likewise, the same was also planted entirely on the succeeding year
(2015). However, because of the long dry spell which occurred in the second
semester (July – September), the production was adversely affected which showed
a decrease of 31.38%.

Meanwhile production of corn includes those of yellow, white and hybrid

sweet corn. Howevermore popular is the hybrid sweet corn because more farmers
are planting this type as compared to the other two types due to its being a short
duration crop (65-70 days) and salable in the market. It was also in the year 2014
that International Organizations such as the Salvation Army and USAID provided
farm input assistance and hybrid sweet corn seeds but did not maximize expected
yield due to Typhoons Ruby and Senyang which occurred at the end of the year.

In 2015, USAID continued to provide similar interventions (assorted seeds

of vegetables, melons, sweet corn, soil supplements and farmtools) and these help
came in 3 more tranches. A sweeping 29% increase was attained for sweet corn
because of its high tolerance to long dry spell compared to rice. On the other hand
a different scenario was seen on the performance of vegetables because of the
“Cash-For-Asset’ Program of the DA-RFO8 where farmers interested to plant
vegetables, root crops, corn and other crops were given P10, 000.00 cash
assistance for every hectare planted with these crops. It decreased to about an
aggregate of 14.11% in 2015 because the preferred cash assistance was no longer
provided.

Fruit crops were heavily damaged by Typhoon Yolanda hence in 2014 yield
were very low. However in 2015 these increased because some crops had already
recovered and started to bear fruits (banana, pineapple, etc.). Some input
assistance were also provided in 2015 to include seedlings (banana, cacao and
pineapple) by UNDP, USAID and FAO.

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Coconut trees were heavily affected by Typhoon Yolanda which resulted to

a very low yield in the succeeding year. However, the yield had increased in 2015.
Replanting has been started through the initiative of the Philippine Coconut
Authority (PCA). In addition, coconut-based farming system was introduced by
PCA to augment coconut farmers’ income while the trees are still recovering and
replanting is still being undertaken. Planting materials including assorted vegetable
seeds, peanuts, corn, fruit trees, ginger and pineapple were distributed for the
implementation of this project. The same performance was also obvious in root
crop production where interventions were also present in order to improve its
production. It was also observed that most of the coconut lands of the city was
converted to make way for the 14 (with permits) housing subdivisions/projects
timely needed to relocate affected families along danger/unsafe zones.

Worth noting is the fact that Tacloban City was also a recipient of a 90hp, 4-
Wheel drive tractor which has somehow helped in increasing efficiency in land
preparation where the farmer will only shoulder the expenses for the gasoline and
for its maintenance.

A rehabilitation program was also introduced to fruit bearing trees to an

estimated area of 5.55 hectares which will hopefully augment to crop yields in the
succeeding years.

All of our crops are susceptible to natural hazards but as majority of these
crops are planted in elevated areas its susceptibility to storm surges and tsunamis
are low. While on the average Typhoon (Tropical Cyclones) and Droughts are high
due to the frailness of these products which is primarily the reason why farmers
opted to introduce intercropping methods and high value cropping that could
withstand prolonged dry spell. Lastly, research showed that Tacloban City is not
within the Philippine Trench and no known active volcano within the regions
periphery thereby ruling out that we have a low susceptibility to earthquake.

4.1.2 Livestock and Poultry

As the city gears for self-sufficiency, livestock and poultry production is

promoted and encouraged. This in turn makes for a positive economic posture of
the city as it provides local employment and income to the city government by way
of revenues. Table 2.2.2.4 illustrates an inventory of privately-owned livestock and
poultry farms in the city.

City Planning and Development Office 271

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Despite the city’s vast losses in practically all sectors of the economy, the
livestock and poultry business though inferior as compared to neighboring cities
and municipalities still managed to sustain its operations. Presented in the tables
below are the existing livestock and poultry farms in Tacloban City and its
corresponding production value and volume in peso. Evidently, these livestock and
poultry products are insufficient to meet the needs of its people as it only yields
about 8.89% in production. Such deficit is met by the influx of various commercial
products from neighboring towns and municipalities as well as the cities of Davao,
Cebu and General Santos. Supplies of eggs on the other hand can sufficiently cater
up to 142.8% of its’ requirement as it yielded 1.46 million in 2015 owing to the lone
commercial poultry/egg farm located at Barangay 97, Cabalawan, Tacloban City
covering an area of 5 hectares.

The City Veterinary Office on its’ quest to sustain if not to improve the
performce of the livestock and poultry industry has lined-up various programs,
projects and activities aimed at doubling the livestock production of the local
farmers. The office also finds it imperative to include in the construction of
evacuation centers facilities that will cater to the needs of livestock and poultry
evacuees so as to lessen/avoid losses in cases of disasters.

In general livestock and poultry farms have high adaptive capacity

compared to crops due to its mobility. It can be relocated to safer areas given the
time, stead and opportunity. On the average its’ susceptibility to almost all hazards
are from medium to low. Table 2.2.2.5 will give us a birds-eye view on existing
livestock and poultry in Tacloban City as well as the contribution it makes to the
local economy.

4.1.3 Fisheries and Aquaculture

Some residents of Tacloban City are directly engaged in various fishery

activities such as deep sea fishing, direct selling, aquaculture, collection of shells,
fish fry collection, cultivation of algae and other such economic activities
distinctively related to fishing. It is therefore believed that the city’s Mariculture
Zone and Aquaculture Sub-zone (458.07) is incapable of supplying the fish
requirement of the city. The data below illustrate other fishery resources and
activities. These activities however, showed a deficiency in fisheries and
aquaculture requirement of about 71.37%. It is also worth noting that Tacloban City
being the strategic hub of Eastern Visayas is the entry point of all fish products
from various fish producing cities and provinces, therefore such deficit will not be
so much of a problem.
There are also the existence of agricultural support facilities and services in the
locality which directly or indirectly bring about the performance of our agriculture
sector in the city.

Tacloban City has a vast coastal area that extends from the eastern to the
northern part of the City. It has 44 coastal barangay's that are distributed on the
three rich fishing grounds in the City. On the eastern part lies San Pedro Bay,
Cancabato Bay and on the northern part is the San Juanico Strait.

City Planning and Development Office 285

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Cancabato Bay used to be one of the riches fishing ground in Tacloban City
because of the presence of different species of fish found in the area especially
Siganid or Danggit in our local term that serve as the major livelihood of our
marginal fisherfolk. It is also considered as one of the best spawning ground of
fishes in the City, because of its wide sea grasses found in the area. Surveys and
Researches has been conducted in the area by some institutional schools and
NGO’s and found out that some ofthe resources has been depleted due to the
proliferation of illegal activities, wanton collection of marine resources and
pollution.

Successful management of coastal resources can only be realized with

good leadership and full cooperation of the people. The hidden costs can actually
count the most if not handled well. Potential constraints to the initiation of a coastal
development program should be identified so that these can be considered in
formulating the program strategies and work plan. The success and long-term
sustainability of coastal management programs depend on effective institutional
arrangements and strong local government commitment, clear national and local
policies; allocation of adequate resources; and enhanced public awareness
participation.

An efficient manager must be capable of balancing the conservation and

development of coastal resources. He/she should be able to effectively coordinate
and integrate a wide range of actions to facilitate a logical and synergistic
strengthening of the coastal resources management program.

Table 4.15 illustrates the Comparative Area Utilization of Significant

Agricultural Activities in the city of Tacloban. Crop production in 2015 dramatically
increased compared to the previous years. This could be the result of the series of
crop production activities initiated by the City Agriculturist’s Office. Although there
is no point of comparison between the livestock and poultry’s area of utilization, it

292 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

is clearly presented in the table that only 0.09% of the total city area is being used
for the purpose which consequently answers to the very poor production yield from
such products. It was only in the year 2015 that a drastic increase of 831% of the
area was used in order to improve its’ production. On the other hand, bodies of
water within the territorial jurisdiction of the city is presumed to be potential fishing
grounds, an estimated5,910 hectares is available for fisheries and aquaculture
activities but for the past four (4) years only about 1,317.11 hectares is being
utilized or 22.29% of the available resources. In the proposed landuse for 2017-
2025 (Proposed Agricultural Area) a decrease of 31 percent for agricultural use is
allocated due to the immediate need of housing projects for the displaced/affected
communities along danger zones but it has been the firm commitment of the City
Agriculturist’s Office to improve production yield of all agricultural products
available in the locality by way of establishing techno-demo farms and other
technical assistance to the farmers sans sufficient area needed.

II. Problems & Development Needs/Requirements:

The quest for food self-sufficiency had always been a challenge not just to the city
of Tacloban but of the entire country as well. The thrust of the agriculture sector
has always been clear as presented in different scenarios of this sector and that
is to improve the production capacity of the city by introducing diversified farming
technologies and maximizing the area allocated for production.

Table 4.17 illustrates the current and projected food requirement based on
sectoral standards. This table will be the basis of analysis of a particular food
against the available supply we have as well as our deficiency.

4.2 Forestry
Tacloban City’s timberland allocation is steady at 19.35% as against its total
land area. Tables 4.18 and 4.19 below illustrates the existing area and location of
Forestlands by Sub-Sector and Primary Use where a total of 1,692.233 hectares
is currently being utilized for production.

Tacloban City requires allocation of more land for urban/residential use.

Unutilized agricultural land in the Northern lowlands have already been proposed
for reclassification into industrial land whileagricultural lands in the southern
lowlands have already been wiped out by the on-rush housing developments.

The rationale for delineating agricultural buffer zone calls for development
of remaining agricultural lands that are near surface water sources (e.g. rivers and
creeks) which are considered suitable for crop production due to good soil
condition. Areas with slopes of less than 18 percent adjoining these waterways
should be considered for agricultural land use development.

The reason for establishing agro-forestry/production forest zone is to

capitalize on the capability of land in upland areas for tree crop production along

City Planning and Development Office 301

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025
.
with the promotion of soil and water conservation in the watershed areas. Areas
to be devoted for these uses must be within the slope range of 18-50 percent.

I. Analysis of Existing Situation:

Production Area

Production area in the city are part of barangays Bagacay, Abucay, Basper,
Palanog (12, 37-A & 103), Salvacion, San Isidro, San Roque and San Roque with
a total area of 1,692.233 hectares.

Production areas include all lands with slopes below 50%, elevation, below
1,000 meters and, outside critical watersheds, not a habitat of any endangered
wildlife species and at least 20 meters away from stream channels. All areas not
classified as protected areas can be devoted to production. These areas have
relatively low value for the conservation of soil, water and biodiversity resources.
In addition, these are areas which can be used for cultivation, ago-forestry, grazing,
logging and other intensive land uses without resulting in excessive surface soil
erosion, gulling, impairment of watershed hydrology and decline in land
productivity.

The city has an existing Forest area of 4,800.68 hectares where only about
77.78% is being utilized for production (1,692.233 has.) and protection (2,041.12
has.) areas.

Production forest management strategies include:

 Community-based Forest Management (CBFM)
 Agro-forestry

II. Problems and Development Needs/ Requirements:

Massive destruction and degradation to the locality ensued at the start of

economic development. The prominence of Trade and Industry in Tacloban left
behind the environment to be devastated as urbanization growth rocketed. The
very source of life and the interrelatedness among the living things in the area
suffered greatly.

302 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Due to monetary deprivation, the forest-edge communities whose survival

and existence depend greatly on forest resources pressured the woodland to the
limit of its rearing capacity. Financial demand, made them move deeper into the
woods in order to survive. They practiced unsustainable farming through “kaingin
system” and firewood gathering that resulted to erosion.

Thousands of hectares of forest in the mountains had been stripped off and
coupled with indifferent attitude of the population resulted to shortage of water and
other manmade disaster like eroded land, polluted water and air. Forest
degradation happened when different destructive factors are present in guise of
development. Extraction of forest resources for economic reasons left Tacloban’s
forest denuded and deteriorated. Improper land utilization and the unclear
demarcation of administrative boundaries on site enhance open access situation
and lead to further forest destruction in the watershed.

With the above situations, the City Government of Tacloban strongly

upholds and commits to formulate strategies that will effectively mitigate the ever
dwindling forest status and improve its natural essence with long lasting benefits
given to the communities. Legislation, adoption and enforcement of environmental
policies and implementation of sound development and protective strategies are
appropriate response to the eminent risk of environmental catastrophe such as
flooding, landslide, shortage of water supply, biodiversity, habitat loss and other
economic shortfall. Hence, the forest land-use plan is an avenue to provide the
city an instrument to orchestrate development plans to attain its vision, mission
goals and objectives.

Within the planning period (2017 – 2025), the city has allocted a total of
3,903.54 hectares with 1,910.11 hectares for production areas and 1,993.43 for
protection areas. This shows a decrease of about 18.69% because some of the
original forest areas have been utilized by the proposed Tacloban North
Development Project.

4.3 Commerce and Trade

I. Analysis of Existing Situation

Before Super Typhoon Yolanda hit Tacloban City economic dynamism is

well reflected in the booming of commercial establishments and trading activities.
Influx of malls to the different parts of the city have started while others showed
interest in branching out their companies as they saw a very good business
potential. It only took a halt like the other sectors in the city just right after that
fateful November 8, 2013 and the whole of 2014 as all are busy scurrying up for
survival and making do of what’s left of their properties and businesses.It was only
in 2015 that commercial establishments slowly regained the financial losses they
have incurred as a result of massive looting in most part of the city as well as
damage to properties and merchandise.Thanks to the benevolence of different
international organizations like the Tzu Chi foundation who by way of cleaning-up
the city streets gave jobs to the distressed survivors and gave financial assistance
to households thus giving them the power to purchase their basic necessities.

Shown in succeeding Tables below are the inventory of commercial areas,

historical data of commercial areas by barangay, commercial establishment by
activities and employment derived out of these activities. It will be observed in
Table 4.22 (Inventory of Commercial Establishment by Economic Activities) that in
spite of the decrease in number of establishment who applied for business permits
(-3.05%) the number of employment increased. The reason of such increase is due
to the presence of big malls which requires large number of manpower. Likewise

312 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Table 4.22 shows that for 2014 and 2015, contractors and services has the highest
number of establishments followed by General Merchandise Non-
Essential/Retailer while cooperatives has the least number of establishments.

The total land area occupied for commercial activities as shown in Table
4.23 was 1,858 hectares in 2014 and it decreased by .54% with only 1,848 hectares
by 2015. This is attributed to the active movement of trading business in the city
where some businessmen opted to change their line and business and lessen the
area they need for their new endeavor. In terms of revenue, the city was able to
generate from the different types/classification of commercial activities a total of
195,216,839.96 for the year 2015. The total existing area occupied by the different
commercial establishments is only 179.84 hectares (Existing Commercial Map).

The city through its’ local government unit is determined to provide food on
the table of each of the household by way of employment opportunities and
livelihood projects, it also aims on becoming one of the country’s Business-friendly
City by enacting ordinances on tax holidays and simplified steps in acquiring
necessary licenses and permits.With the cooperation of the various stakeholders
it is hoped that the city’s economy will better the lives of each Taclobanon which
will hopefully radiate to its neighboring towns and municipalities.

II. Problems and Development Needs:

The performance of the business and trade as presented in various tables

showed a fluctuating tempo firstly because of the degree of effect brought by Super
Typhoon Yolanda and the manner of re-establishment of the business sector given
the hazards and they were faced-with as well as the threat most imminent as
reflected in hazard susceptibility maps.

Being a Regional Center, the city needs to increase its commercial area to
cater the needs not only of its residents who would venture in expanding their
business establishments but also to the neighboring LGUs businessmen. The city
core will be considered as the center for commercial activities. Expansion areas
will be towards the northern and southern part of the city. Hence a total of 618.18
hectares will be allocated for commercial and trading center within the planning
period.

4.4 Industry

I. Analysis of Existing Situation

Tacloban City is not primarily an industrialized city but protects its’ existing
industrial establishments. Table 4.27 (Inventory of Existing Industrial
Establishments by Intensity, Capitalization and Employment, 2015) below reflects
the presence of industrial establishments in the city and it will be observed that a
promising number is really making a name of their own while succeding tables
illustrate standards for industrial area requirement and how this requirement should
be distributed using population as the basis.Table 4.4.4 (Local Revenue and
Industrial Establishment, 2011 – 2015) shows the performance of various local
revenue sources and its’ rate of increase/decrease. In this table it will be observed
that a decrease of 30.05% happened in 2014 where Tacloban City experienced
the result of financial setback due to the devastation of Super Typhoon Yolanda.

II. Problems and Development Needs/Requirements:

Due to a minimal area currently occupied and utilized for industrial/agri-

industrial establishment, there is a need to allocate a total area of 242.0336
hectares within the planning period based on the standard requirement. The
102.64 hectares will be developed on the northern part of the city as one of the
developments for the Tacloban North Growth Center. The other area will be
situated on the southern and western parts asof the city. This will open the valves
towards a more tailored industrial area without compromising the various
stakeholders’ effort to save and preserve mother earth.

4.5 Tourism

I. Analysis of Existing Situation:

Fast-paced development in a Highly Urbanized City like the city of Tacloban

is inevitable considering that it carries with it the influx of commercial and industrial
establishments. Contrary to most of the peoples’ belief, local economy is based not
only on the movement of increase in the number of business establishments but
also on the number of visitors coming in and out of the city. Tacloban City has been
the most sought after destination after it made history due to the massive
devastation of Super Typhoon Yolanda. All roads lead to Tacloban City not just for
tourists who want to witness for themselves the havoc that the city had been faced
with but moreso to the different organizations around the globe who brought with
them much needed help for recovery.Succeeding tables below will depict Tacloban
City’s tourism industry by showcasing the different aspect of tourism package.

The Local Government Unit with the assistance of the City Tourism Office
and various stakeholders are determined to make Tacloban City as “the most
visited city” by way of promoting Tacloban as Potential MICE (Meetings,
Investments, Conferences/Conventions and Exhibitions) destination. The ongoing
airport expansion and upgrading will make it an International Airport with available
flights directly to and from other parts of the world. Now is also the time to consider
the construction of large-capacity state-of-the-art convention centers that could
accommodate at least five thousand (5,000) participants and cater to all kinds of
events and gatherings.

Table 4.31 presents a list of Tourism Attractions where majority of these

attractions are at an average, low susceptible to flooding and landslide, high
susceptible to typhoon and storm surge and medium susceptible to earthquake
and tsunamis. Table 4.32 on the other hand reflects a list of tourism establishment
and how can it be accessible. Most obviously, all are land accessible, all pavement
are cemented and in good condition. It also reflects its’ distance from airport.

II. Problems and Development Needs/Requirements:

The havoc brought about by Super Typhoon Yolanda had catapulted the
city of Tacloban as the most sought-after tourist destination of the world. In
whatever shape and size she became the focus of all high-definition lenses. The
challenge became even greater on how to maintain such stature in preserving its
natural tourism capital given the other sectors’ much needed rehabilitation sans a
very sound financial capability. For now and within the planning years (2017 –
2025), the immediate need is to establish Tacloban City as a MICE (Meetings,
Investments, Conferences/Conventions & Exbititions) destination and just simply
make it a point that all guests will have a decent yet affordable place to stay and
where pleasure and business worth the while.

CHAPTER 5 INFRASTRUCTURE, UTILITIES

AND FACILITIES

5.1 Transportation Facilities

I. Analysis of Existing Situation

Tacloban City is accessible by land, sea and air travel. It is the gateway to the
south and north by land travel through the San Juanico Bridge. The city built a
spacious new North Bus Terminal to accommodate vehicles going to and from
Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. This new facility has improved the land
transportation system in the city and brought convenience to the riding public. It
covers a land area of 2.2 hectares as reflected in table 5.1.1. This Bus Terminal is
highly susceptible to storm surge, moderately susceptible to flooding, tsunami and
Tropical Cyclone.

Tacloban City, a highly urbanized city is the center of aviation in the region
and is the 8th busiest airport in the Philippines. The Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport is
located 4.3 nautical miles southeast of Tacloban City proper, having a road
distance of about ten (10) kilometers from kilometer zero (0) origin. The airport
runway is 2,140 meters long and 45 meters wide with 1,000 meter wide easements.
The width of the runway is enough to accommodate Boeing 737 planes. It occupies
a land area of 81 hectares in Barangay San Jose, Southeast of the city. Its location
is moderately susceptible to flooding and Tropical Cyclone and low susceptible to
landslide. Likewise, Table 5.1 reflects other Transportation terminals not only by
land and air but also by sea transport. The airport is being maintained and
managed by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). At present,
plans are being considered for it to become an airport of international standards.

II. Problems and Development Needs/Requirement

 Traffic Problems, Engineering & Solutions

In the central business district, choke points, and main arteries and in the
public market area, the roads along these areas experience vehicular traffic jam.
This situation is a common sight during peak hours of the day mostly 8 to 9 in the
morning, 11 to 12 at noon and 4 to 6 in the afternoon. Outside of these peak hours,
road users in the central business district create traffic congestion at manageable
level.

Traffic problem is also present whenever road accident happen at anytime

of the day, is considered as an isolated case. It is in this situation that warm bodies
of traffic aides are quickly needed to keep and maintain the streets normal and
order, facilitate the call for emergency rescue in the event of extreme necessity and
expedite the immediate respond of law enforcers for the proper disposition.

 Road Management in CBD

While the road’s space in CBD is fixed, the number of vehicles using the
roads kept increasing in numbers directly proportionate to the city’s economic
development. Once the level of road users reaches saturation level, road
management comes into play to maintain road in order.

Being one of the aspects in management, road user regulation is the key to
put for the optimum use of the road at the same time generate income into the
city’s coffer. A single vehicle park at a designated parking area occupies 30% of
the road space of the road-vehicle length measurement. If two vehicles park on
either side of the road at the same time, it occupies 60% of the road space leaving
only 40% road space for circulation.

Despite this arrangement, road circulation can still function smoothly and
effectively with the presence and assistance of a traffic aide. It is at this juncture
that parking fees must be set for collection for the exclusive and notorious use of
the road as parking area in a particular time. In Tacloban CBD, parked vehicles
numbered an average of 200 vehicles per hour starting from 8 in the morning up

City Planning and Development Office 391

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

to 6 in the afternoon. With this statistics, the city government of Tacloban should
have earned 10,000 per day or 200,000 a month at 5 pesos an hour in additional
income.

 Pedestrian traffic

Another traffic problem needing urgent resolution is the pedestrian traffic in

the use of sidewalks or in its absence, construction of sidewalks, and installation
and maintenance of ancillary facilities e.g. Pedestrian crossing, jeep stops and
road signs, waiting shed, among others. There is a must to have all roads within
the central business district to have a defined sidewalk possibly of international
standard distinct and separate from a side parking for vehicles.

One major contribution of intense traffic problem in all central business

districts in any city common worldwide is because of mismanaged pedestrian and
the lack of ancillary facilities or the absence of either one or both. Keeping
pedestrian in the sidewalk, enforcing pedestrian’s crossing strictly, right use of
waiting stops and putting traffic signs and traffic lights in the right place and
operational all the time will surely keep pedestrian off the streets. This will solve
vehicular traffic by 50%.

Two situations that gauges if the present vehicular traffic problem in

Tacloban will be a cause for alarm in the future are the following:

1. Visual Traffic

Traffic jam should not be a sight in Tacloban City being a countryside city
outside of a metropolitan area where the interconnections of cities and big
municipalities is the cause of the overpopulation of vehicles regardless of road
capacity.

In Tacloban City, the traffic problem is already apparent not only in the
central business district but has spilled over to almost all intersections of the city
roads sparing not even Maharlika highway even in lean hours.

392 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

2. Theoretical Traffic

In year 2015, based from the standard road to population ratio, records
showed that Tacloban city was short of 274 kilometers of roads considering a
population of 217,199 in order to be compliant to the standard. The existing roads
of Tacloban city was only 180.66 kilometers. Based from the disparity, it is not
surprising if vehicular jams are a common sight in road intersections.

 Solutions to Traffic Problems

1. Organizational Set up

The approach to the organization of the city’s traffic body must be anchored
on sustainability so that it can be handed on from one local government executive
to the incoming one at the end of the term regardless of whoever the political figure
occupies the top local executive position.

2. Traffic Management Plan

The traffic management plan shall encompass policy-direction, the charging

of particular source of funds, personnel complement in (engineering, law, fiscal &
technical management and enforcement) and fund generation.

The most encouraging aspect of incorporating traffic in the city’s organic

structure primarily is its potential to generate funds within the framework of law to
first, sustain its traffic operations and secondly, to contribute to the city’s coffer
notwithstanding the necessity of the services it offers to the public without the
necessarily raising taxes or create new taxes.

One of the traffic engineering approaches to the traffic problem with a long
term effect is to conform to the road to population ratio which as of year 2011 urban
road length should have been two hundred seventy three 273 kilometers as
projected based on the population censal year of 2015.

City Planning and Development Office 393

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

3. Establishment of Traffic-related Infrastructure

The proposed priority roads to be constructed could be formed parts of the

traffic engineering approaches are the following:

a. Proposed Coastal road linking Magsaysay blvd to DZR airport;

While the end objective of constructing a coastal road linking Magsaysay

road direct to DZR airport is intended to add ingress and egress which will
serve as another main thoroughfare to the city’s transport routes thereby
absorbing the traffic congestion in the central business district, it will
cleanse the once depressed areas and ultimately enhance the natural
beauty of Cancabato Bay and its environs which could be a potential tourist
destination.

b. Service road parallel to coastal road going to Bgy. San Jose;

The presence of both the coastal and service roads which are parallel to
real street will unload by ¾ of its usual vehicles that will be absorb equally
by the coastal and service roads. The remaining 1/3 of the vehicles will
continue using the real street. This will dramatically reduce to the maximum
if not ensure zero traffic anytime of the day;

c. Sub-lateral road that provide link to the parallel coastal and service roads.
It also allows motorists a choice of routes either to the service or coastal
road at any point of both roads. The presence of the sub-lateral road will
doubly ensure zero traffic along this area;

d. Reopening, widening and construction of a network of cadastral roads in

Tacloban city which are already invaded by non-formal occupants.

The reopening of cadastral roads in both the urban and rural areas must be
acted swiftly and as early before the full conquest of illegal settlers
meantime that the problem of squatting is still containable.

394 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

e. Link all dead end roads in subdivision projects, barangay roads and other
dead-end roads;

f. The slicing of a big blocks into two to three sub blocks by linking dead end
roads widening the widths into standard roads and allow them to become
thoroughfare is also a solution to the problem on vehicular congestion. The
extension of the Jones Street to link Paterno extension road to provide
another length of road is only but an example in the urban area. The details
of which can be browse in the proposed zoning map for the year 2017 to
2025.

g. Construction of By-Pass Roads.

The by-pass road is a road that runs parallel with Maharlika highway located
along the foot of Caiba-an, Utap, Abucay and Nula-tula mountain ranges.
The purpose of which is to unload 50% of the vehicles that utilize Mahalika,
thus reducing traffic by 50%.

h. Establishment of several intersection, junctions and islands

The intersection of the by-pass road, Maharlika and city roads could provide
a best traffic flow situation if it is provided with a well-planned intersection
that optimizes the use of the road, provide traffic information and reduces
the problem of traffic bottleneck, overcrowding of vehicles and jamming.

 Traffic Trends

The solutions laid out above are intended to preempt the projected serious
traffic complication that may occur once the problems are left unattended. To
catalyze the future development, this present administration shall swiftly act by
selecting any of the solutions and projects presented so that this problem could not
ballooned to a potential headache to whoever local executive is in the future.

City Planning and Development Office 395

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

 Road Capacity

Given the existing road length of the urban area to be 290 kilometers in year
2015, (please see projected road demand matrix), then the length of the road
during that censal year should have been 588 kilometers in so far as the
245,048population count is considered since the road to population ratio is 2.4
kilometers road length to 1000 urban population. Hence, an additional of 298
kilometers road length should have been constructed in the year 2015 for the city
to be traffic problem free.

 Current and Projected Needs

Shown below is the projected Urban Road Demand Matrix which will show
projected urban population and the corresponding road length demand. It is
assumed that 5% of the road length demand will be constructed each year.
- Parallel Road
- By-Pass Road
- Bridge Linking Magsaysay and D.Z.R. Airport.

5.3. Power

I. Analysis of Existing Situation:

 Power Generation

All power consumption of Tacloban City traces its two (2) sources from the
renewable, natural, abundant and environmental-friendly Tongonan geothermal-
based power generation in Ormoc City and municipality of Kananga around 48-60
km. south-west of Tacloban City. The one provider is 200 MW coal-fired power
plant Korean Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) in Brgy. Colon, Naga, Cebu.

After a thorough exploration test and a study conducted by an independent

geo-exploration company that explored and investigated the subsurface of several
numbers of wells to determine their viability for long-term development into a
source of power, such is being turned over to a generating company. A private
power generating company that takes charge of the operations of the well whose
thermal pressure forced turbine to turn on to generate electric power.

 Power Transmission

Once power is being generated by a power transmission provider, a private

power company manages the transmission of power to distribution companies
including electric cooperatives. In the case of Tacloban City, Leyte Electric
Cooperative II services the retailing of power to the first district of Leyte including
the city of Tacloban.

A power transmission highway, operated and maintained by a power

transmission company traverses in the Municipality of Babatngon going to the
direction of Samar island and eventually to the greater Luzon area. Along this
transmission highway, particularly in Babatngon, a 69 Kilovoltage power substation
junction is established for Tacloban’s power supply.

Another transmission highway runs towards the direction of Southern Leyte

and Mindanao Grid where a sub power station is also established and where
Tacloban originally gets its sole power supply. The 69 kV line in Babatngon power

City Planning and Development Office 397

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

connection is only but an alternate power source anytime during breakdown

occurrences of the original power line source.

Power supply for Tacloban city from LEYECO II is uninterruptible,

continuous and constantly available unless the two transmission highways where
Tacloban has both the power sources broke down at the same time.

 Power Distribution and Service

The Leyte Electric Cooperative II has jurisdiction over electric power

distribution direct to the power consumers in retail and at a power rate being fixed
by the distributing power cooperative under the regulation and control of the
National Electric Administration, a government agency attached to the Department
of Energy, which office, is based only in Manila.

There are two (2) power sub stations for Tacloban city. One is located in
Barangay Abucay and the other one is located in Sagkahan, Tacloban City.

 Power Connection

Tacloban City has more than sufficient power supply provided by the Leyte
II Electric Cooperative or LEYECO II. It has its main office in Real Street, Tacloban
City and has three substations, two of which are located in Tacloban City. One is
located in Barangay Abucay and the other one is located in Sagkahan, Tacloban
City. Its’ total capacity of power generation is 45 megawatts, enough to supply any
projected increase of power needs for the next five years. Tacloban City is 100
percent energized and although there are power outages, they are immediately
addressed.

Based on 2014 statistics, the average consumption of the city dropped by

20% as compared to 2012 data. The damage caused by the typhoon Yolanda in
2013 is the main cause of the low consumption, a proof that the city has not yet
totally recovered from the disaster.

398 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

These unlit households are the marginalized sectors of Tacloban populace

where the capita income of the head of the family is much lower than the set
minimum wage for the region and whose household are located in the slum areas
of the urban core and in countryside or those informal settlers in urban and rural
areas with almost dilapidated/makeshifts yet settlers are still present.

Shanties that mushroomed along river easements, in esteros, along salvage

zones in the shorelines and abandoned idle lands and those whose temporary
dwellings rose without building permit, electrical permits, and other formalities
usually do not have power connections at all.

5.4 Water Supply

5.4.1 Existing Water Supply Systems

A. Leyte Metropolitan Water District

Tacloban City was served by the Leyte Metropolitan Waterworks Supply

System (LMWSS) and the Tolosa Water Supply System (TWSS) from 1939 to
1974. During the same period, the services providers also served three (3) other
municipalities, namely Dagami, Tanauan, and Tolosa. The two (2) local water
utilities was under the supervision and direct control of the National Waterworks
and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA). Both service providers obtained its water
supply from Hitumnog Creek and Hiabangan River in Dagami Municipality, from

402 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

the Tigbao River in Tacloban City; groundwater from Tolosa deep well in Tolosa,
from Sampaguita District deep well, and the Leyte Normal School deep well in
Tacloban City.

In 1975, the LMWSS and the TWSS were dissolved and operation of the
water systems was taken over by the Leyte Metropolitan Water District (LMWD) in
accordance with Presidential Decree No. 198. Since 1975, Tacloban City’s main
water supply was provided by the Leyte Metropolitan Water District. It had since
extended its services to seven (7) other local government units: the municipalities
of Dagami, Palo, Pastrana, Sta. Fe, Tabontabon, Tanauan and Tolosa.

A new water source was tapped by LMWD in 1975. Located in the Binahaan
River in Barangay Tingib, in Pastrana Municipality, this eventually became the
main source of water of LMWD. In 1977, LMWD embarked on a Comprehensive
Expansion Project designed to serve a projection of 14,000 water service
connections by the end of 1988. However, water interruptions were immediately
felt by 1989. In 1991, a feasibility study for a proposed expansion program was
completed to address water shortage. All rehabilitation works were completed in
1995.

Tacloban City is currently LMWD’s largest water concessionaire. As of

August 2015, Tacloban City accounts for about 62.50% percent or 20,710
connections of the LMWD's total number of 33,135 active connections.

City water connections from LMWD are concentrated in the urban area
while in the northern barangays where there is no piped water service, people use
deep wells or shallow wells for their daily water needs. Others have their water
supply delivered in tanks by LMWD while some residents resort to the use of
electric motor driven deep wells. As shown in the Water Service Area Map, sixteen
(16) northern barangays have no supply from LMWD particularly from Barangay
108-Tagpuro up to Barangay 12–Palanog. While other areas such as in Naga-
naga, Utap, Abucay, Calanipawan and Sagkahan experience scarce water supply
Water shortage is a prevalent issue even in the central business district, where
business establishments are compelled to install water pumps.

B. Mactan Rock Industries, Incorporated

The Mactan Rock Industries, Incorporated (MRII) is a company

established in 1983 in Mandaue, Cebu. The company offers a wide range of
services including a) Municipal Bulk Water Supply b) Industrial Bulk Water Supply
and c) Wastewater Treatment and Recycling. MRII has also ventured into Reverse
Osmosis technology since 1993, and Reverse Osmosis Desalination technology in
1995 to provide clean potable water.

In 2012, MRII was tapped by Tacloban to augment the water supply in the
City. It mainly supplies 50% to 60% of the V & G Subdivision. The succeeding
figure shows the supply lines of MRII in the V&G subdivision. It also supplies a
portion of a subdivision in Barangay New Kawayan in North Tacloban.

Binahaan River covers an upstream basin of 106.97 sq.km as shown in the

map below. The intake facility of LMWD is located at Barangay Tingib, in the
neighboring Municipality of Pastrana, Leyte. The water source has two (2)
treatment plants with a total daily production of 54,000 cu. m. The average daily
discharge of Binahaan River, which represents the amount of water that can still
be extracted and tapped for other uses is 279,765 cu.m.

Groundwater Potential within Tacloban City

Results of a study commissioned by USAID Be Secure on Vulnerability

Assessments of Water Resources in Tacloban City last January 2016 has shown
that there is significant groundwater recharge potential in the City. Figure below
shows that areas of high recharge are mostly found in the eastern and
southeastern parts of Tacloban, while some isolated zones are also located in the
northern and western parts of the City. The barangays at the west of the downtown
area may be noted to have the highest density of area with high recharge potential.
These areas are Barangays Tigbao, Nulatula, Abucay, 74, and 73.

To further enhance the recharge potential of these areas, certain land use
policies are implemented such as increasing the number and land areas allocated
to open green parks and buffers in order to increase the vegetative cover. By

City Planning and Development Office 407

decreasing the built-up areas, the amount of run-off produced in these areas are
decreased because of the high percentage of infiltration to groundwater. Structures
to retain water may also be constructed in these areas.

Potential Sources of Water Outside Tacloban City

The Tacloban City LGU also presented two (2) possible sources of water
supply. Pongso and Cabayugan rivers could serve as secondary sources of water
for the city if Binahaan River cannot meet water demand. Both are approximately
30.0 kilometers west of Tacloban located. The National Water Resources Board
(NWRB) has issued water right permits of 25 MLD each for Pongso and
Cabayugan Rivers to the City of Tacloban. Water quality from Pongso and
Cabayugan rivers is generally within acceptable limits and drinking water
standards.

The Pongso River is located adjacent and north of Cabayugan watershed.

The river starts from Mount Mamban then it flows in the north east direction,
passing through the town of Tunga and continues to join Himonglos River. It then

408 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

discharges to Carigara Bay. Cabayugan River is located adjacent and south of

Pongso watershed. The river flows into north east direction towards the town of
Jaro and joins Mainit River into a wide flood plain/wetland. During extreme
especially over long sustained rainfall, the floodwaters will be impounded over flood
plain/wetland and may eventually discharge northward to Yapan-Pongso
Himonglos River and finally to Carigara Bay.

Based on the flow availability curve from the Eastern Visayas Framework
Plan –Leyte Basins as published by National Water Resources Council (now
National Water Resources Board) in May 1980, the 80% available flow for Pongso
and Cabayugan which have almost same drainage area of 30 square kilometers is
900 lps or 78 MLD. Pongso and Cabayugan rivers have sustainable combined
capacity of 580 liters per second or an equivalent of 50 MLD.

5.4.3 Water Infrastructure and Facilities

A. Source Facilities

LMWD presently operates two (2) wells, but only one (1) well supplies water
to an area in Tacloban City. The San Gerardo Well located in Barangay Nula-tula,
Tacloban City has a capacity of 2 lps and supplies water exclusively for San
Gerardo Subdivision.

B. Water Treatment Facilities

Water collected from each of the surface water sources shown in Table 5.15
passes through respective water treatment facilities. The Dagami Water Treatment
Plant, a sedimentation WTP located at an elevation of 152 mamsl with a capacity
of 200 cum/hr is supplied by Hinabangan and Hitumog rivers. The Tingib WTP
located at an elevation of 97.50 mamsl, with a capacity of 400 cum/hr supplied via
the Atipulo, Magculo and Maitom creeks. The Tingib RGF WTP located at an

410 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

elevation of 105.80 mamsl with a capacity of 1,000 cum/hr is supplied via the
Binahaan River.

C. Water Storage Facilities

There are three (3) existing distribution reservoirs namely the Utap Hill
Reservoir, Ambao Hill Reservoir and the Tolosa Reservoir. Only Utap Hill
Reservoir is located in Tacloban City.

5.4.4 Existing Water Supply Situation

A. Average Water Consumption

Table below shows the average water consumption and number of

connections per type of connection in 2015. Data shows that industrial
establishments have the biggest share in average water consumption, while bulk
sale rates in second on the list. There is no data to qualify the type of connections
the water from bulk sale is distributed to. On the other hand, commercial
establishments have the least average consumption.

Table 5.17 shows the barangays and the number of population with a Level
I water supply system. Based on the data, all of the barangays listed have shallow
wells totaling to 1,038 serving 42,589 households. Data shows that there are no
deep wells in these same barangays, but some 13,464 households benefit from
seven (7) improved springs.

Based on the assessment of the susceptibility to hazards of the Level I

facilities, a number of the facilities are highly susceptible to storm surge, and
moderately susceptible to flooding and landslides. This implies that these facilities
are vulnerable to damages and infiltration of unclean water and thus water in these
areas are at high risk to contamination.

5.4.5 Water Requirements

A. Population Projections

In order to plan for the water requirements of Tacloban City, the LGU
together with the technical assistance from USAID Be Secure conducted a
feasibility study (FS) for the City. The study projected relevant data for planning
purposes, specifically for Tacloban’s bulk water supply. Projections of the water
requirements for the entire Tacloban City is based on the population projection
released by the Philippine Statistics Authority, using a 1.99% annual average
growth rate. At the end of the CLUP timeframe in 2025, the City population would
have reached 305,995 inhabitants. And at the end of year 2050, the base
population would have more than doubled to 493,327.

A separate area-based projection was also conducted for the Eastern

Visayas Regional Growth Center (EVRGC), on which the resettlement and
relocation site is located. The initial target population in 2014 is 20,000 inhabitants.
At the end of the CLUP timeframe in 2025, the population in EVRGC would have
reached 49,069 inhabitants. And at the end of year 2050, the base population of
EVRGC would have more than doubled to 88,001. This projection in the North
Tacloban is already reflected in the overall population projection of the City.

B. Willingness to Connect to Water Service Provider

A survey on Willingness to Connect to a water service provider (WSP) was

conducted as part of the feasibility study. The FS showed that 87% of those not
connected to any WSP was willing to pay and connect to have sustainable water
supply service.

The said percentage was used to compute for the served population
projection as shown in the succeeding table. The same percentage was used in
the water demand and service connections projections.

C. Water Service Connections

The same feasibility study computed the water service connections for each
type of use. To compute for the projected number of households with water service
connections, a mean average of 4.5 persons per household was used. Adopting
this number, the projected number of domestic service connections was estimated
and presented in the table below. At the end of the CLUP timeframe in 2025, a total
of 59,160 households would be connected to a water service provider. And at the
end of year 2050, this number would reach 95,380 households.

City Planning and Development Office 417

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Demand volume for commercial and industrial establishments were

computed relative to the density of connected or served population using the
LWUA MC Manual. Using the factor 0.3 per 100 population for low density,
commercial/industrial service connections were projected and presented in the
succeeding table. At the end of the CLUP timeframe in 2025, a total of 799
establishments would be connected to a water service provider. And at the end of
year 2050, this number would reach to 1,288.

Demand volume for institutional connections was computed using a factor

of one (1) connection per 2000 people. As shown in the next table, a total of 134
institutions would connect to a service provider by the end of the CLUP in 2025,
and this number will increase to 215 by the year 2050.

D. Water Demand Projections

In computing for the water demand in Tacloban for domestic uses, the
following were considered: 1) base year used was 2014; 2) served population was
used as baseline data; 3) 125.20 liters per capita per day (LPCD) was used; and
4) the non-revenue water (NRW) was at 20%.

The succeeding table shows the computed domestic water demand. At the
end CLUP planning period, the City would need 40 millions of liters per day (MLD)

418 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

to serve a population of 266,220 or an equivalent of 59,160 households. By year

2050, the city would require 64.50 MLD to serve a population of 429,200 or an
equivalent of 95,380 households.

To compute for the commercial and/or industrial water demand volume, two
(2) cubic meters per day was assumed per service connection. At the end CLUP
planning period, demand for water for commercial and industrial uses would be 1.6
MLD to serve 799 service connections. By year 2050, the city would require 2.6
MLD to serve a 1,288 connections.

Computation for projected water demand volume for institutional uses

considered the established consumption of 7.5 cubic meters per connection.
Results showed that at the end CLUP planning period, demand for water for
institutional uses would be 1.0 MLD to serve 134 service connections. By year
2050, the city would require 1.7 MLD to serve a 215 connections.

The table above was recalculated by location and subdivided into three (3)
areas, namely Tacloban North, Resettlement, and Tacloban South, where the last
referred to the rest of the City. Table below shows the breakdown of the projected
water demand volume by the respective areas. The projected average day demand
volume specifically for Tacloban North was adjusted based on the clustered

The figure below shows that only 44% of the surveyed Barangays in the city
is completely supplied by the LMWD and these are concentrated near the city
center. Barangays with no LMWD connection may only be 16% of the total but the
area covered by these Barangays is almost half of the city area.

Barangays which reported that during storms and extreme droughts, the quality of
water deteriorates but in normal days, the water can be used for drinking. Purified
water is used as an alternative during these times when water from LMWD is not
reliable.

5.4.6 Proposed Water Transmission and Distribution Lines

A. Raw Water Source Transmission

There are two (2) extraction points from the alternative sources of water.
First is the Pongso River Extraction Point situated at elevation 170 mamsl. From
here, the raw water transmission route traverses the river bank unto the Palo-
Carigara-Ormoc City Highway to the proposed location of the water treatment plant
(WTP). The second is the Cabayugan River Extraction Point which is located south
of Pongso River. The elevation of the proposed extraction point is at 165 mamsl
and at a distance of approximately 2 kilometers to the proposed WTP.

B. Transmission Route and Main Distribution Lines

From the proposed location of the water treatment plant (WTP) at elevation
128 mamsl, the transmission line will follow the Palo-Carigara-Ormoc national
highway and will traverse the municipalities of Jaro, Alang-alang and Sta Fe up to
junction J1 as shown in the schematic diagram below. J1 has a ground elevation
of approximately 18.3 mamsl. From junction J1, transmission route will proceed
westward towards the boundary of Sta Fe and Tacloban City. The transmission
will terminate at the peak of Barangay Salvacion, Tacloban City with a recorded
elevation of 72mamsl. Figure 5.6 presents the schematic diagram of treated water
transmission route via Brgy. Salvacion and Figure 5.10shows the satellite image
where the transmission line will traverse.

Starting from the peak of Brgy. Salvacion, the main distribution line
traversed a gradually rolling terrain down to the poblacion of the City of Tacloban.
At junction J2, which is located at the intersection of Salvacion barangay road and
Maharlika Highway, a control valve is to be located, which regulates water
distribution to Tacloban City North and Tacloban City South. Tacloban City North
and Tacloban City Resettlement distribution line corresponds to about 11 km of
pipe network, while Tacloban City South line runs to about 7 km. Figure 5.9 shows
the schematic diagram and Figure 5.12 shows the satellite image of the Salvacion
main distribution line.

Approximately eighty (80) kilometers of 150mm diameter pipe of secondary

lines will be laid on the densely populated areas of Tacloban North and on the
expansion service area of Mactan Rock Industries, Inc. in V&G Subdivision.

C. Investment and Operating Costs

In computing the capital and operational expenditures, the FS assumed a

PPP scheme will be adopted for the project, where the Tacloban LGU is the
proponent.

The total investment cost of the Water Transmission Project amounts to

PhP2.843 billion through a 70:30 debt-equity ratio financing scheme assuming an
escalation of 4.0% per year. The annual operating expenses amount to PhP31.901
million.

The total investment cost of the Water Distribution Project amounts to

PhP2.084 billion through a 70:30 debt-equity ratio financing scheme. This is

426 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

inclusive of the finance charges and interest during construction. The annual
operating expenses amount to PhP29.027 million.

D. Total Price of Water Service at the Household Level

The base tariff for the Water Transmission Project is calculated at PhP21.25
per cu. m. for a 30year concession term. The base tariff for the Water Distribution
Project is calculated at PhP18.60 per cu. m. With the assumption that these two
(2) projects shall be run by two separate companies, the total price of water is
PhP39.85 per cubic meter. Bundling the projects will result to a slightly lower tariff
at PhP38.80 per cubic meter, which is PhP1.05 per cubic meter lesser.

5.5 Waste Water Treatment

The discharge of untreated waste water (sewage) is considered to pose an

alarming threat to the population, the viability of mariculture activities in the City
water and the general economic development of the area.

As a result, a comprehensive set of waste water (sewage) management

strategies are proposed to be established in the Tacloban North relocation sites
and in the rest of Tacloban in order to ensure each socialized housing subdivision
and other sources of wastewater area are compliant with the standards set by both
the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR). Waste Water (sewage) from each relocation site is to be
treated through an approved treatment system prior to it being discharged into
adjacent creeks or rivers.

In addition to this, a centralized sewerage system to be developed in the 2017-

2019 timeframe is proposed for Tacloban in order to provide a long term solution
for sewage management and ensure residential, commercial and industrial
development do not present a waste water threat to the City waters.

5.6 Proposed Waste Water Treatment

I. Analysis of Existing Situation

The discharge of untreated waste water (sewage) into San Juanico Strait is
considered to pose an alarming threat to the population of the northern barangays'
health, the viability of mariculture activities in the strait and the general economic
development of the area.

As a result, a comprehensive set of waste water (sewage) management

strategies is to be established in the Tacloban North relocation and the rest of

428 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Tacloban in order to ensure each socialized housing subdivision Add: “and other
sources of wastewater area” is compliant with the standards set by both the
Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR).

Waste Water (sewage) from each relocation site is to be treated through an

approved treatment system, such as individual Septic Tanks coupled with, prior to
it being discharged into adjacent creeks or rivers flowing into San Juanico Strait.
Such systems would require space allocation of approximately 2.5 square meters
per household.

In addition to this, a centralized sewerage system to be developed in the 2017-

2019 timeframe is proposed for 138 barangays in Tacloban in order to provide a
long term solution for sewage management in the northern barangays and ensure
residential, commercial and taking place outside of the relocation sites does not
represent a waste water threat to San Juanico Strait and other water bodies.

Suggestions:

1. The process of establishing the strategies for wastewater management

begins with the estimate of the extent of the problem both quantitatively and
qualitatively. The night and day barangay population and the number of
different types of businesses should provide for a good volume estimate of
domestic and commercial wastewater in each barangay. This of course
should be tied with the source and volume of water used in each area.
Criteria can be set to qualify whether these sources are high, medium or low
level pollutants based on volume and type of wastewater generated. This
may also correspond to level of priority --color coding may be assigned. The
recent water quality tests done by the CHO may indicate the level of
pollutants already in the waters. The water body classification may then be
altered and dictate the allowed uses for the water body.

2. For each cluster of barangays (now ranked according to level of pollution

and priority), separate strategies need to be developed, starting with the
decision on whether to push for onsite or offsite treatment. Based on
affordability, distances, population density, and available land, these

City Planning and Development Office 429

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

strategies should be justified or rationalized in each of the clusters of

barangays. The city has already developed its citywide septage
management program and has a fully operational treatment plant in Sto.
Nino. They have a pending septage ordinance being reviewed now by the
City Council and a standing order from the Office of the Building Officials to
put in septic tanks when people construct their houses or buildings. So all
these can be used to serve as basis for defining the strategies for each area
or all areas.

3. For subdivisions (whether located in the north or not), a separate set of

strategies should be promulgated and adopted by developers and NHA. For
non-domestic wastewater generators, reiterate the requirement of the Clean
Water Act for these establishments to provide for onsite treatment or
pretreatment (or offsite if by hauling out) to bring down the level of pollutants
to domestic quality before discharging to collection and secondary treatment
systems.

4. Finally, insert a section to require all sanitation facilities to be climate-

resilient. This may mean putting in a flexible system (to answer for extreme
changes in water quality, peak and overflow due to increased demand and
excessive rain), not locating facilities in hazardous areas, hardening and
elevating structures susceptible to strong winds, flooding, and storm surges,
and developing contingencies in cases of disasters and operational failures.

5. The LGU may project the future volume/flow of wastewater generated and
provide for a timetable when a sewerage system should be put in place.
Tacloban City is one of the highly urbanized cities and as such, is required
by law to put in an appropriate sewerage system by 2020 especially in areas
where it makes sense.

5.7 Proposed Septage Treatment Facility

I. Analysis of Existing Situation

Septage Treatment Facility. All domestic septage must be processed and

treated in strict conformance with the DOH Operations Manual on the Rules and
Regulations governing Domestic Sludge and Septage and all other relevant
national and local laws. Septage facilities, including treatment and disposal
facilities and septage truck yards must maintain a hygiene and safe work
environment. Facilities must be properly designed installed and maintained. A
vector control strategy must be included to insure that no disease-causing
elements shall thrive in the treatment facility and a maintenance schedule for
clearing excess vegetation growth.

The septage treatment facilities in Tacloban shall use lime stabilization

methods composed of lime mixing/treatment pit, anaerobic baffled reactor,
facultative pond, and maturation or aerobic ponds. The lime mixing/treatment pit
and the anaerobic baffled reactor shall be made of concrete. Mixing or treatment
of lime shall be fully mechanized. All stabilization ponds shall be lined with high
density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane on top of highly compacted soil.
Jointing of adjacent sections of geomembrane sections shall be in accordance with
manufacturers’ jointing guidelines. Effluent from the last anaerobic pond shall flow
into a constructed wetland to ensure that the quality of the final effluent shall meet
DENR standard for the receiving water body. Periodically, the solid material that
accumulates in the receiving tank and ponds shall be removed and deposited in
sludge drying beds. Dried sludge shall be recovered as compost material, soil
conditioner or landfill material. This shall comply with the DOH Operations Manual
on the Rules and Regulations governing Domestic Sludge and Septage.

The operations and maintenance plan also includes provisions for reducing
system upset, including immediate actions to prevent the occurrence of foul smells
and release of partially treated effluent from the system.

II. Objectives of the Project

The final stage of Phased Approach to the Total Sanitation (PhaTS) involves
the safe management of solid and liquid wastes and strengthening water quality
monitoring systems, allied with the promotion of water supply protection. As
barangays continue to improve their sanitation and hygiene practices, it will
become important to have a facility to treat the septage.
The objective of the project is to demonstrate and promote cost effective
wastewater management solution, to reduce pollution of nearby water bodies,
remove disease water causing organisms and contaminants in the wastewater and
prevent the spread of water borne diseases.

This facility will directly benefit more than 245,000 people in 138 barangays
of Tacloban City.

As the first of its kind in the region this can be a showcase to other LGUs
they can have best available technology without entailing excessive cost.
City ordinance for the operation including the integration of corresponding fees in
the Real Property Tax was drafted and for approval by the City Mayor and council.
The establishment of a Sewerage and Septage is a mandated facility for Highly
Urbanized City under R.A. 9275 otherwise known us Philippine Clean Water Act of
2004.

lll. Location and Condition of the Area

The Septage Treatment Facility is located in Barangay, Sto. Nino, in the

northern part of Tacloban City. The location is owned by the city government, the
land location is adjacent to the Sanitary Landfill.

5.8 Information and Communication Technology

I. Analysis of Existing Situation

Tacloban City is a Media saturated city. Residents have within their grasp,
a variety of media outlets – print, broadcast and Internet. As the city progresses,
mass communications is gradually evolving to electronic transmission paving the
way for digitized information technology.

Print media boasts of six (6) broadsheets with regionwide distribution,

complementing national dailies of which one (1) broadsheet offers daily issues,
while the rest have weekly publications. The city is reached by seven (7) radio
stations, six (6) broadcast using FM bands, one (1) in AM band. Only in the
periphery of the city limit is within the capacity of the transmission of the private

II. Problems and Development Needs/Requirement:

The market for telephone and cellular services in Tacloban are being shared
among transnational corporations who is home-grown and Domestic Corporation
having bought the existing local telephone service provider from the Province of
Leyte. Among these service providers, only Globe, Smart and PLDT offer landline
connection services. The other two purely offer remote line connection services
with their cell site spread all over the city in head-on competition with Globe and
Smart likewise offer cellular phone services. The National Telecommunication, is
used to have the mandate to establish the infrastructure for the telephone services
and operate the same in the locally especially those LGU’s without telephone
services offered by the private sector.

Tacloban City, except a calling service right in their office, was overtaken by
the events of modernization and perhaps is a candidate for phasing out, as its
mandate is already irrelevant to the present situation more so with the introduction
of new technological advancement in the communications industry which the
private sector has in possession.

CHAPTER 6 CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION

AND DISASTER RISK
REDUCTION

6.1 Basic Principles and Concepts

Climate Change is a “change in climate which is attributed directly or

indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere in
addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods”.

Weather is a snapshot of the state of atmosphere over a relatively short

period of time (usually less than a week) while Climate represents an average or
collective state of the weather patterns over a long period of time. Simply placed,
Climate is what we expect while weather is what we get.

Climate change is the precursor to the present events of disasters and

unusual weather conditions manifested in the forms of flooding, unusual hot spells,
stronger and more frequent storms and typhoons, landslides, earthquakes, and
other calamities.

6.2 Tacloban City’s Geographic Realities

Tacloban’s location and physiographic characteristics make it vulnerable to

different forms of natural hazards. The city is situated in the mid-section of the
country’s Pacific side, a location that is susceptible to the direct and indirect effects
of the roughly 20 typhoons that hit the country each year. It also lies in the portion
of Leyte Gulf that tends to invite the strongest storm surges due to its funnel effect.
About 42 of the city’s 138 barangays have lowlands and coastal areas that are
prone to hazards like flooding and storm surges. Considering Tacloban City’s
shallow bathymetry, the city is prone or susceptible to higher storm surges.

The city also lies 146.30 kilometers west of the Philippine Trench, a
subduction zone capable of producing strong earthquakes that can affect Tacloban
through liquefaction, earthquake-induced landslides in the mountainous areas and

City Planning and Development Office 445

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

intense ground shaking in the coasts that could reach up to Intensity VII
(destructive) based on the Philippine Earthquake Intensity Scale. It is also capable
of producing tsunamis of the same scale as the storm surge from Super Typhoon
Yolanda, further increasing the city’s risks from disasters.

Another earthquake generator in Philippine fault line Leyte segment which

is 31.4 km. from the western boundary line of Tacloban City.

6.3 Climate Changes in Tacloban City

Climate in the city is classified by Tacloban PAGASA as falling between the

boundary of Type II and Type IV which indicates that there is no dry season and
no pronounced period for maximum rainfall which normally runs from July to
December, but that rainfall is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year
except on adverse periods where there is La Niña or El Niño.

6.3.1 Projected Changes in Temperature

The 2015 climate study that was conducted specifically for Tacloban City
used the observed precipitation and temperature data as obtained from weather
stations of PAGASA from 1971 to 2000.

The study projected that the temperature in Tacloban will increase in the
period 2011-2040 by 1.8°C and in the period 2036-2065 (2050) by 2.9°C relative
to the baseline period 1971–2000. See table below.

The mean values for the period 2011-2040 is referred to as 2025, while
those for the period 2036-2065 is termed as 2050 mean.

6.3.2 Seasonal Mean Temperature

Based on the date provided by PAGASA, from January-December 2014 the

average temperature of Tacloban City was 27.70 degrees centigrade. While in
January-December 2015, the average temperature of Tacloban was 29.96
degrees centigrade. The year in review saw drier season which could be attributed
to the El Niño phenomenon.

Climate projections of PAGASA reveal that the City will experience an

increase in the average temperature between 0.9°C to 1.2°C in 2020 and 1.8°C to
2.3 °C in 2050. Days are becoming hotter as observed by many throughout the
city. Projections on seasonal temperature change are presented in the table below.

6.4 Extreme Events

Tacloban City is experiencing an increasing trend of extreme events such

as the episodes of El Nino and La Nina phenomenon. The frequency of these
occurrences is a deterrent factor of Tacloban City’s upswing development and a
threat to its environmental state. There is this PAGASA projection that the number
of days with maximum temperature greater than 35 °C will increase to 1398 days
and 2495 days in 2020 and 2050, respectively. The current observation of dry days
for the same time period has reached 6874 while the projected figure is 5199 days

City Planning and Development Office 451

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

in 2020 and is expected to increase to 5475 days in 2050. Further, the projected
number of days that will pour a rainfall amounting to more than 150 mm will be 10
days in 2020 and 15 days in 2050. Projections on change in temperature and total
frequency of extreme events are presented in the table below.

Table 6.6 Projections on Change in Temperature & Frequency of Extreme Events

6.4.1 Projected Changes in Precipitation

Using the same 2015 Tacloban climate study, Tacloban City is also
projected to experience an increase in precipitation by 2025 and 2050. In 2025,
Tacloban will experience more drastic fluctuations in precipitation and will receive
as much as 52.7% increase in annual total precipitation relative to the baseline
mean and 12.7% decrease in rainfall during the first projection period of 2025. For
the 2050 period, longer periods with relatively higher precipitation are projected to
occur, with only nine years projected to have lower rainfall relative to the baseline
mean.

In terms of monthly precipitation as depicted in Figure 6.4, increases of 7.2%

and 6.9% are projected to occur in 2025 and 2050. An increase in rainfall is
projected for the dry months March to May and in the wet months December to
February while an overall decrease in rainfall is projected between June to August.

The monthly mean daily precipitation trends in Tacloban throughout the

projection period shows that increases in decadal monthly precipitation in 2025 will
generally occur from February to April. During the 2050 period, a decadal increase
is projected from December to May, while a general decrease is projected from
June to August (Figure 6.5).

6.4.2 Comparative Mean Monthly Rainfall

Based on the date provided by PAGASA, from January-December 2014 the

average monthly rainfall of Tacloban City was 286.11 mm. While in January-
December 2015, the average monthly rainfall of Tacloban was 188.98 mm. The
year in review saw less rainfall as compared to the previous year which could be
attributed to the El Niño phenomenon.

6.4.3 Seasonal Rainfall Change

Projections on seasonal rainfall changes in Tacloban City using the mid-

range scenario are presented in the table below. Generally, there is a reduction in
rainfall volume in the City during summer (MAM) season while a rainfall increase
is likely during northeast monsoon (DJF) and (SON) season.

Table 6.7 Seasonal Rainfall Change, Tacloban City

The projections for average monthly rainfall volume are highest during the
months of June to October as shown in the figure below. These can be associated
with the southwest monsoon, locally known as “Habagat”, which is characterized
by strong southwest breeze that is responsible for bringing significant rainfall in the
Philippines. It is a predominant weather pattern from late May through early
October.

The Tacloban climate study concluded that the projected climate

simulations in Tacloban City using the downscaled Global Climate Models under
the moderate RCP4.5 scenario of IPCC determined that total precipitation will
increase in the city by 2025 and 2050. The mean daily temperatures will increase
in the periods 2025 and 2050. Monthly trends indicate long-term shifts in climate,
with impacts such as increased precipitation in historically dry months and
relatively higher increments in mean temperatures during historically cooler
months becoming common in the future.

In 2011, DOST-PAGASA published “Climate Change in the Philippines” as

a reference for long term spatial planning and medium term multi-sectoral planning
of local government units. The changes in climate for 2020 and 2050 were
projected using the mid-range emission scenario (A1B) developed by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The A1 scenarios considered
rapid economic growth, global population that rose to 9 billion then gradually
declines quick spread of new and efficient technologies, and extensive social and
cultural interactions worldwide. The A1B has a balanced emphasis on all energy
sources both fossil and non-fossil fuels. Based on the climate projections, Tacloban
City will be affected by 3 major climate change drivers: increasing temperature,
changes in rainfall in various seasons, and increasing occurrences of extreme
events in 2020 and 2050.

Table 6.5 shows almost all (131 out of 138) barangays in Tacloban City are
exposed to various hazards, including but not limited to: (a) Earthquake-induced
Landslide; (b) Rain-induced Landslide; (c) Flooding; (d) Ground Shaking; (e) Storm
Surge; (f) Liquefaction; and (g) Tsunami. The figure below illustrates that most of

456 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

the barangays in Tacloban City are susceptible to soil liquefaction, flooding and
tsunami.

While barangays differ in risks to hazards, all 138 barangays of the City are
susceptible to typhoons.

Figure 6. 14 Summary of Susceptibility of Barangays per Identified Hazards

Barangays in the northern portion of the city are most prone to rain induced
landsides while flood hazard is mostly contained in the city proper and in low lying
barangays. The San Jose District which is composed of several barangays is most
likely to be affected by storm surge hazard together with the rest of the barangays
along the Cancabato Bay, San Pedro and Anibong Bays as they are the most
vulnerable barangays along the sea coast (Draft CLUP of Tacloban City).

The table below indicates the vulnerabilities of the barangays in Tacloban

City with its corresponding percentage of risk. The high risk ranking was based on
the result of Tacloban City’s Climate Change Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA)
in 2015, an activity undertaken by the city government of Tacloban and UN Habitat.

Adaptation/ Mitigation Measures:

There are two ways to respond to climate change impacts.

1. Climate Change Adaptation – refers to adjustments in ecological, social,

economic system in response to the effect or impact of an actual or expected
stimuli and it can also mean as changes in process, practices and structural to
lessen or to avoid potential damages or it can also defined as to benefit from
opportunities associated with climate change.

2. Climate Change Mitigation – is the human intervention aimed of reducing the

sources of green gases or enhancing the sink of Green House Gases.

- Sink – is the process activity or mechanism which removes of Green Gas

from the atmosphere.

6.5 Protection and Buffer Areas

6.5.1 Coastal Areas

Hazards such as floods and storm surges come from overflowing rivers and
surging coasts. The existing buffer zones of Tacloban City consist of river
easements, shoreline legal easements and mangrove forest. The city declared
these buffers as non-buildable and non-alienable. However, the southern coastal
easements were occupied by informal settlements, private and commercial
establishments. The central coastlines are occupied by a depot and port area.
Initial efforts were made to relocate coastal informal settlers to two barangays in
Eastern Tacloban, however, this is not enough and more people must be relocated.

The coastal zones were worst hit by Typhoon Haiyan. The storm surge and
strong winds brought by the super typhoon destroyed coastal and inland houses
and other structures made of permanent and lightweight materials. Six ships
docked along the coast were carried by the surge and destroyed houses and
establishments along its way. Insufficiency of protection and the occupancy of the
buffer zone increased the exposure of the coastal areas and risk to the effects of
storm surges, typhoons and earthquakes.

City Planning and Development Office 461

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

6.5.2 Delineating the Buffer Zone and Danger Areas

The Water Code of the Philippines (PD 1067) mandates that there should
be a 3-meter easement in urban areas, 20-meter in agricultural areas and 40-meter
in forest land. Due to recent events, the President ordered the adaptation of the
40m easement to keep coastal areas safe. The Sangguniang Panlungsod of
Tacloban City approved an ordinance situating the 40-meter zone as “Non-
Dwelling Zones” to prevent people from returning to the area and rebuilding their
homes on these zones.

This would mean that the areas cannot be used for private dwelling
structures and shall be classified as non-alienable.

Tacloban City prepared multi-hazard maps together with DENR-MGB and

DOST showing multiple risks that may affect the city. The delineation of these
areas should be coordinated with the social sector (residential and social services)
as well as the economic sector but more specifically with the Legislative Body of
the City Government of Tacloban and the City Planning Office for regulation.

6.5.3 Finding the appropriate coastal protection measure

Aside from clearing the buffer zone, adaptation measures have to be applied
to minimize the exposure of the city to hazards coming from the ocean such as
strong winds, storm surge and even the creeping effects of sea-level rise. There
is a need to re-establish vegetation and appropriate engineering measures subject
to recommendations by technical experts.

6.6 Waste Management

The City Council enacted Ordinance No. 2004-9-09 otherwise known as

Tacloban City Solid Waste Management Board Ordinance. This board was
created to develop and implement a solid waste management program consistent
with the Environmental Protection Programs of the City. The Chief Executive sits
as the Chairman of the Board while the City ENRO Officer is the Vice-Chairman.
A representative from the City Council also sits as member of the board.

462 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

It is projected that by 2021, Tacloban City will generate 176.89 tons per day.
This is a challenge for Tacloban City as a new Highly Urbanized City in terms of
an effective and efficient disposal system in compliance with RA 9003 and
rationalize the integration of its solid waste management in its development
agenda.

Institutional Arrangements

The following are the general functions and programs of City Government
Offices undertaking the task of addressing related solid waste management issues
of the city in the same time that the Environmental Code of Tacloban City has
mandated the City Government to implement the following functions with the Chief
Executive as the Head for operations.

1. To promote the practice of waste segregation and waste minimization

at source.
2. To assist barangay councils in the preparation of a multiyear SWM
program, including information, education and communication
materials;
3. To facilitate establishment of supportive linkages between barangay
and other government and private sector organizations;
4. To assist barangays that may decide to group themselves, consolidate
or coordinate their efforts, services and resources for the purpose of
establishing a common SWM system or facilities;
5. In coordination with the City Waste Management Board, City ENRO,
City GSO, City CEO, DENR, NGO’s, and the Liga Ng Mga Barangay,
facilitate the establishment of a model barangay unit that demonstrates
an effective and efficient SWM system,;
6. To train city personnel to provide technical assistance services,
particularly in SWM and EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) to the
City Government; and
7. To install an operational monitoring system to ensure sustainability of
SWM Program.

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

LGU Barangays

The role of the different barangays as mandated by the Local Government

Code is crucial in the implementation of the solid waste management plan. The
barangays, as articulated in RA 9003 are the key players for the successful
implementation of segregation and waste reduction programs for the city. The
creation of the Barangay Solid Waste Management Committees will streamline
and facilitate the different implementation strategies in solid waste management of
Tacloban City.

Other Offices

The following offices will support the initiatives through judicial, logistical,
technical and other related assistance deemed necessary in implementing solid
waste management initiatives:

City General Services, Sangguniang Panlungsod, City Engineers Office, City

Planning and Development Office, City Assessor’s Office, City Health Office, City
Veterinary Office, City Division Office City Interior and Local Government and the
Barangays.

6.6.1 Solid Waste

Tacloban City’s waste management is under the City Environment and

Natural Resources Office (C ENRO). Measures on proper waste disposal and
management at the Barangay level and business sector are strictly implemented
other than the regular information dissemination on proper waste management
through the media and other forms of information materials and venue. On the
other hand, industrial waste is treated differently as it entails specific handling and
disposal.

6.6.2 Contributors to Garbage Volume

The characterization study revealed categories of waste and its respective

volume generated. The following tables and figures show insights of the study.
These data are useful in estimating potential waste that can be diverted from the
waste stream flow. It can be perceived from the data that a large percentage of
generated wastes are biodegradable which can be potentially diverted from the
main waste stream thus saving landfill space.

6.6.3 Generated Waste

The rapid urbanization of Tacloban City allows SW managers to identify

level of pressures on solid waste generation, collection and disposal. It provides
a good estimate on how the volume of waste can change over time, a good
indicator for appropriate response mechanism of the City Government. It was
observed how the volume of waste changes over time. Commercial and industrial
waste generation and collection are based on General Services Office record. An
increase of 3% is assumed including wastes derived from street sweeping, debris
and others. The initial data from waste characterization conducted by City EnRO
show per capita waste generation of 0.4 kg/ca/day. However, 0.5 is used as a

City Planning and Development Office 467

safe figure for future projection. Estimated collection rate is around 70%. The
remaining 30% is either uncollected, recycled or composted at household level.

Table 6.10 shows the projected solid waste generation of Tacloban City until the
year 2021.

6.6.4 Source Reduction

At present, observations and monitoring conducted by the City ENRO and

the City General Services of Tacloban residents, including business
establishments in the city, do not practice segregation of their wastes. However,
some residents have their own means of reducing waste by recovering mostly
metals and plastic products for personal economic purposes, a minuscule
percentage if considered as waste segregation.

6.7 Water Pollution

6.7.1 Coastal Water Pollution

The southern coasts/bays of the city are polluted because of solid and liquid
wastes disposed by establishments and informal settlements occupying the city’s
shorelines. Grease and pollution along the coastline within the depot and port
areas are also contributory to this problem. Generally, most of the coastal water
pollution come from the rivers and other water tributaries in the city being used as
outfalls while its embankments are occupied by informal settlers where most often,
they dump their household waste into these rivers.

468 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

To minimize water pollution, measures should be taken such as the

establishment of sewage system, septage treatment plant and strict
implementation of the Clean Water Act and regulatory laws/ordinances on
structures along no dwelling zone areas and dredging of rivers. Other measures
are likewise being considered such as information dissemination and public
awareness on the adverse effects of water pollution,

6.7.2 Water Source

Tacloban City’s main source of water supply is from the Leyte Metropolitan
Water District (LMWD), which is the sole water utility provider of the city.
Unfortunately, the water supply is not sufficient because there are areas where
water supply is limited, with a specific time for distribution. Moreover, water supply
does not reach the north area of Tacloban City as there are no water pipelines to
the north. This has been a perennial problem of the city where other households
resort to open or driven deep wells.

This major problem of the city has been a real concern for the city
government. Only 40 percent of the city specifically its southern portion is being
served by the water provider. Another problem is that the water district’s non-
revenue water is high, thus causing high water fees and at the same reducing the
supply of water to the constituents.

These pre-existing issues were aggravated by the damages incurred after

Yolanda. Expansion of water service is now needed especially in the northern part
of the city where resettlement sites will be located. The city government sees that
there are opportunities to expand water distribution and designing a whole new
water system in unserved and underserved areas of the city.
Likewise, climate change has been a factor in the dwindling of water supply
as temperature steadily tend to rise due to the El Niño phenomenon and water
sources recede.

6.8 Possible Impacts of Climate Change in Tacloban City

On November 8, 2013, Super Typhoon Yolanda (International Name:

Haiyan) struck the Philippines with maximum wind speed of 378 km/h and storm
surges of over four (4) meters. Among the regions affected, Eastern Visayas
(Region VIII) suffered the greatest damage, accounting for twenty-six (26) percent
of the entire number of all affected persons/families and forty-four (44) percent of
all damaged houses. The total damage in Region VIII is estimated at P69 Billion
Pesos.

Tacloban, the regional hub of Region VIII and the 5th fastest growing city in
the country, suffered the greatest damage to housing and settlements among all
cities/ municipalities in the country with30,513 totally damaged and 23,718 partially
damaged houses, accounting for five (5) percent of the total damaged houses at
the national level. The total damages for Tacloban is estimated at about P7 billion,
with P2.5 billion for infrastructure, P726 million for productive sectors, P3.4 billion
for the social sector, and P361 million for other cross cutting sectors.

It is a known fact that climate change can increase the frequency and
severity of climate and weather hazard events such as Typhoon Yolanda and
gradual changes in climate parameters such as sea level rise, changes in mean
temperature and changes in rainfall precipitation can increase geophysical and
ecological disaster impacts.

6.8.1 Impact Analysis

While Typhoon Yolanda left a remarkable dent on the ecology of the City,
there are also other identified hazards affecting the city. A summary of existing
hazards in Tacloban are then listed below:

6.10 Disaster Risk Reduction & Management

To support Tacloban’s goal to maintain its role as the commercial and

trading hub of Region VIII, the City is aiming to develop a culture of disaster
preparedness in its constituents and those wishing to do business in the city.

The Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act or RA 10121 has four
thematic areas: Preparedness, Mitigation and Prevention, Response and
Rehabilitation and Recovery. The law requires all LGUs to prepare their
respective Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Plan and
create their own DRRM Office that will support the activities of the Local Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Council (LDRRMC).

Tacloban aims to assign a permanent City DRRM Officer (CDRRMO) to

work fulltime with staff committed solely on DRRM functions. The existing Local
DDRM Plan, which is being updated and reviewed in light of the lessons from
Yolanda, will need to address the four thematic areas of DRRM and enhance the
level of resiliency of the City to disasters, thus reducing potential damage to
properties and loss of lives.

6.10.1 Disaster Preparedness Awareness Campaign (Preparedness)

The City Government is continuously working to increasing the awareness

levels of the residents and their participation to reducing their own personal risks
during disasters. The conduct of community drills and information dissemination
(‘what to do’) on a regular basis are a must in increasing the awareness and
participation of the residents.

One consideration of the City Government is the early evacuation of the

communities that are likely to be affected by disasters. The City Council has
enacted an ordinance for the conduct of pre-emptive and forced evacuation for
potential massive disasters. The City Government is intensifying its IEC campaigns
through the conduct of dialogues and consultation on this issue as this entails the
right of each resident to determine their fate. The City Government is working with

City Planning and Development Office 477

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

the warning agencies of the national government in establishing standard action

protocols for such evacuations.

Alternative regional and inter-municipality/city level communication systems

will be established so that each municipality/city can warn each other. Alternative
ways of warning that are not dependent on electricity is also proposed to be used
to be able to communicate warning in any conditions. To raise the awareness on
disasters and early warning, integration of climate change and disaster
preparedness can be integrated into the curriculum. An additional subject or even
a course of climate change adaptation and DRR can also be part of school/college
offerings.

6.10.2 Early Warning System (Preparedness)

In collaboration with the PAGASA, PHIVOLCS and the Mines and

Geosciences Bureau (MGB), the City is preparing simulation maps that will
determine different scenarios to better develop an early warning system for floods,
storm surges, tsunamis, and landslides. It is imperative for the City Government to
construct a climate center to monitor the impact of climate change and install the
community-based early warning system and activate the Barangay Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council. The message must be clear and simple for
all the residents to understand and to follow. Drills and simulations need to be
conducted during summer where the children are at home and the whole
household can be involved in the drills and simulations.

The City Government is planning on developing an early warning system

involving technology and its integration to the City’s Information Management
System (IMS). The City Government is using Geographic Information System
which can be expanded to include data collected from installed rain gauges.
PAGASA is using rain gauges to determine the alerts that must be issued to
government agencies and LGUs. A similar system may be installed in the medium
term. But in the short term, the City Government will establish an active and
working partnership with the warning agencies.

478 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

The early warning system will be connected to the communication system

of the City Government with its barangays and members of the LDRRMC. It will be
able to collect data of hazards such as flooding and storm surges and thus be able
to warn the population through alarms or sirens.

6.10.3 Capacity and Capability Enhancement for DRRM (Preparedness)

The City Government of Tacloban and its barangays will increase its capacity
and capability on DRRM through the following:

1. Installation of emergency communication system in all barangays and the

LDRRMC;
2. Installation of information management system and crowd-sourcing
mechanisms for DRRM to support the efforts of the LDDRMC and
NDRRMC. This will facilitate the collection, analysis and submission of
information from the LGU up to the RDRRMC and NDRRMC;
3. Hiring of permanent CDRRMO staff that will prepare and implement
Programs, Projects and Activities (PPAs) for DRRM;
4. Procurement of equipment;
5. Training of employees and barangay and youth leaders in disaster response
and engaging the private sector in emergency drills;
6. Increase the level of partnership of the LDRRMC with the
PDRRMC/RDRRMC and NDRRMC member agencies in pursuing their
PPAs for DRRM. The NDRRMC through the Office of Civil Defense (OCD)
is currently forging partnership with the telecommunication companies for
the development of early warning system that will disseminate information
to the population. A similar set-up can be established between Tacloban
and the OCD.

6.10.4 LDRRMC and LDRRMO Training (Response)

The NDRRMC is currently reviewing the draft National Disaster Response

Plan (NDRP) through the assistance of the JICA. The draft NDRP espouses the
Cluster approach to response but integrated and acknowledged the jurisdictional
mandate of the LGUs as first responders through the installation and utilization of

City Planning and Development Office 479

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

the Incident Command System (ICS). It is necessary for the City Government to
have a working LDRRMC that is educated in the principles of Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management, Sphere Project, Incident Command System and
Cluster approach to response. The LDRRMC and LDRRMO will be trained to do
the following:

1. Conduct of Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDANA) and

determining the extent of damage and amount of assistance needed by the
affected population within 12 hours after disaster has struck;
2. Mobilization of the following to assist the Incident Command Posts during
response:
a. Search, Rescue and Retrieval Team
b. Engineering Operations Team
c. Relief Operations Team
d. Emergency Communication Team
e. Health Emergency and Nutrition Team
f. Peace and Order Team
g. Shelter and Infrastructure Team
h. Management of the Dead and the Missing Team
i. Livelihood and Food Security Team
j. Camp Management and Protection Team
k. Economics and Fund Management Team
l. Logistics and Support Team
m. Price Monitoring and Control Team
n. Public Information Service and Media Management Team

3. Conduct of Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) to determine the

requirement for recovery and rehabilitation.

6.10.5 Resilient Government Buildings or Complex

(Preparedness/Mitigation)

The City Government is proposing the construction of resilient government

buildings such as Multi-purpose Evacuation Centers and Emergency Operations
Center (EOC). These government buildings should be resilient to typhoons, storm

480 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

surges, tsunamis and earthquake. These infrastructures are critical assets that will
support the response operations during disasters. Pre-positioning of resources will
not be effective if the structure housing the resources is not resilient. The EOC
will serve as command centre for all disaster response as well as office for the
CDRRMO that will conduct all activities for and with the DRRM Council.

Key private sector developments (such as hospitals, commercial centers,

etc.) can also be encouraged through crafting an investments code giving
incentives to developers or investors who will design their buildings with resiliency
provisions.

6.10.6 Emergency Communication/Telecommunication System

(Preparedness)

The organization and mobilization of an effective and efficient disaster

response and relief operations, essentially need a reliable communications system
that can immediately rebound and be back on track immediately after a calamity.

It is in this respect that a program for installation of emergency

communication system is recommended for the City Government with its
barangays and members of the LDRRMC.

The need for information after a disaster is utmost concern for all response
operations. Each barangay should have their respective mobile emergency
telecommunication units that can be easily installed after the disaster to establish
communications with City, Provincial, Regional or National government agencies.
The City Government should also create Rapid Emergency Telecommunications
(RET) Groups within its DRRM Office to provide the emergency telecommunication
needs of the LDRRMC during disaster response operations. The RET is vital in
implementing Incident Command System at the affected areas. The RET may
utilize different modes of communications but must be responsible in the IOMs
(Installation, Maintenance and Operation) of the system at the City level.

Forest and forestlands in Tacloban embed in 17 adjoining barangays

stretching from Barangay Sta. Elena down to Barangay Caibaan. A large track of
forest and forestland falls in Barangays Camansihay and followed by Barangay
Bagacay with an area of 802.17 hectares and 714.32 hectares, respectively.
Accordingly, these areas are the host to many endemic species both flora and
fauna where its existence are threatened considering the settlements situated very

with high poverty incidence. Barangays 37-A Palanog Resettlement acquired a
highest population density of 2.06 and the lowest is Brgy 105 San Isidro with .22
person unit area. But in terms of population, Brgy. Camansihay is the highest with
624 persons followed by Brgy. San Roque with 538 persons involved in forest
activities. A community of Indigenous Peoples (IPS) of about 236 individuals
inhabited portion of the forestland in Brgy. 93 Bagacay. The computation of
population in a barangay with forest is household times 4.3 average house size

Tenure in Forestland

Except for some 2,637.18 hectares, the balance of approximately 1,376.13

hectares is technically still open access with no specific tenure instruments
covering their use. With the tenure instruments, de facto resource users are under
no obligation to properly manage the forestlands which they occupy.

A total of 2,637.18 hectares are placed under specific tenure regimes

granted by the DENR. The key forest and forest land tenures consists of 935.12
hectares placed under Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) located at
Barangays Caibaan, Utap, Salvacion, Palanog and San Isidro. A lone Industrial
Forest Management Agreement (IFMA) issued to the Manobo settlers covering
241.78 hectares in Barangays Bagacay, San Roque and Camansihay. A due
diligence check of the Certificate of Stewardship Contracts (CSC) issued by the
DENR under the erstwhile Integrated Social Forestry Program (ISFP) showed that
there are 1,006.44 hectares distributed to 353 beneficiary households. These are
located in the upland barangays of San Roque, Camansihay, Nula Tula and
Abucay. The earliest CSCs issued were in 1983 which render the contracts, as
already expired as they reached past the statutory limit of 25 years. There is reason
to believe that the CSCs have changed hands from the original beneficiaries to
other private interests. The lack of “productive forestry” development is evident in
most of these areas.

The balance of untenured forestlands is technically subjected to future

development strategies that are stakeholder and climate–responsive. Currently,
bamboo plantation project is on the stage of site development through a financing
agreement with Samaritans Purse. These are located in the areas of Barangays
Camansihay, Bagacay, San Isidro and Sto. Nino.
Agrarian Reform Councils (ARC) also form distinct communities along the
watershed transect, where agricultural activities are distinctive. These are found
in Palanog, Salvacion, San Roque, Bagacay, Cabalawan, Abucay. Informal

Livelihood in Forestlands

Small-holder production occurs in limited areas along the slopes of a

number of barangays like vegetable crop production in Sta. Elena, agroforestry in
Caibaan. Coconuts, pineapple and root crops are grown mostly in Barangays
Salvacion, Palanog, San Roque and Camansihay areas in less than a hectare per
farm lot using unsustainable farming system (kaingin-making). Means of farming
are all small scale in terms of the farm equipment and inputs employed. Firewood
gathering and selling activities are prevalent in most upland areas as a major
source of income among the poorest of the poor. (See Table 7.6)

Issues, Threats and Opportunities in the Protection and Management of

Forest and Forestland

Limited Effective Spread of On-site Management of Allocated FFL

The institutional capacity to provide real-time on-site management remains

a key concern for the City. This can only be designed and systematically installed,
if a thorough appraisal or characterization on natural resources is completed to
form more accurate information on forest and forestland demographics, resource
use and control patterns. On-site effective management suggests that areas that
require full rehabilitation and strict protection shall be studied carefully following a
thorough inventory of claims, against open access areas.

City Planning and Development Office 501

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

A co-management agreement between the City Government and the

DENR, its terms and conditions, should be reviewed to further substantiate and
strengthened considering climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.

degradation continues and largely

occurrence during extreme climatic
condition like prolonged heavy
rainfall. Before CY 2013, the rate of
degradation has been reversed from
the last ten years, with the gradual
recovery of erstwhile forest areas.
Natural succession of brushland and early secondary vegetation communities and
reforestation measures, have altogether contributed to restoring forest cover to fair
conditions (30-40%). The farm lots dynamics also suggest that smallholder

502 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

cultivators, mostly utilizes the same forest plots, limiting the number of new
openings. The quality of the forest structure however will require a longer time to
develop, as the current forest cover, are still mostly in early secondary, open
canopy conditions as being heavily damaged during the onslaught of super
typhoon Haiyan.

Limited Sustained Enforcement of Forestry Laws, Rules and Regulations

The current wood demand for the City is estimated at 121,482.67 cubic
meters and this is expected to escalate to 138,933.72 cubic meters in the next 5
years. There is reason to suspect that most of the local wood requirements
(fuelwood, charcoal, sawnwood) come from the Ctiy’s watersheds. More than
timber /fuelwood poaching, it is the conversion of forests for agriculture that should
acquire greater attention on enforcement (all law enforcement agencies
concerned).

Conflicts in the Use and Allocation of FFL

Most claims within the forestland area are specious and “ownership”
changes hands with selling of rights. As an indication, In San Roque, at least
seven (7) hectares are reportedly claimed by a private person. Expired and soon-
to expire stewardship certificates have largely changed hands and no visible
developments are undertaken. The prospective development of a major water
resource development project in the Tigbao-Diit sub-watershed can spin out into a
conflict with forestland occupants, because of the requirements for source-water
protection. This implies zoning-in the needed land allocation for restoring
watershed cover, which in most likelihood are currently settled or farmed.

Conflicts in the use and allocation of FFLs in the City are of significant scale,
to cause serious concerns. However, the prospect of Mining in the City is raising
some concerns too, as exploration permits extends progressively to the entire City.
Spot areas of fallow plots, are also blamed for some clearings emanating from the
Palo side of the City’s forestlands.

 Geological Hazards:

The forestland areas in upland barangays which are embedded in different

sub-watersheds are susceptible to landslides as it is aggravated by intense rainfall
and storm. Such conclusion is based on the result of the landslide vulnerability
assessment conducted by the Mines and Geo Sciences Bureau (MGB) in CY 2011
and CY 2012. Experiences on the incidence of prolonged and extreme rainfall that
creates huge soil movement in Upper Nula-tula stretching to adjacent watersheds
and deadly landslide in Barangay Cabalawan increases the interest of the
residents and local disaster risk management council to create proactive measures
in responding possible hazards. Furthermore, computer-based models tell
significant fact on the effect of climate change on the intensity of precipitation.

Accordingly, in low lying sections of Tigbao catch basin are prone to flooding
from Barangay Palanog down to Basper and Tigbao proper. Also, the same
situation is always observed in Caibaan, Apitong, Utap and Abucay micro-
watersheds. (See Table 7.13)

 Existing Vegetative Cover/ Land Uses:

The forest landscape consists mainly of open grasslands, brushlands,

annual crops, perennial crops and early secondary forests in the steeper slopes.
Except for some areas in the sub-watersheds of Baruguan and Suhi where
approximately 109.95 hectares open canopy natural forest can still be found.

An aggregate forest area of 3,903.54 hectares categorized as production

forest and protection forest. Production Forest represent about 48.93% (1,910.11
has.) of the total forest area and the remaining part 51.07% (1,993.43 has.) is
categorized as Protected Area consisting of mangroves, non-nipas and the
watershed-embedded areas in a cluster of six barangays.

The residual forest vegetation are mostly of low commercial value but have
sturdy regeneration capabilities and these occur in sparse and discontinuous
fragments located in gullies. The regeneration guild consists mostly of young
dispersed individuals of mostly successional forest tree species belonging to the
Moraceae, Euphorbiaceae and Rubiaceae families. The old reforestation project
started in 1972 in Barangay Salvacion covers a source water protection area as
the Balugo falls emanate from it. Currently, the City has begun efforts to provide

City Planning and Development Office 509

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

on-site forest restoration and development in the 10-hectares heavily damaged

parcel of tree plantation area for a purpose.

 Natural Forest Cover

The Baruguan–Suhi sub-watershed comprises the upland barangays of

Bagacay, Camansihay and Cabalawan. It is in this cluster of barangays that
residual fragments of early to late secondary natural forests can still be found.
Approximately, 109.95 hectares of forestland are found in this sub-watershed,
which supports the water supply needs of Robinsons, San Juanico Golf Course
and other barangays of Tacloban City.

The forest cover is rated as generally, fair characterized by remnants,

consisting of scattered groups of mature trees (indigenous species), shrubs and
other perennial crops. This includes patchy areas of bare/sparsely vegetated
ground make-up between 20-50% of forest area. The biodiversity(floral) have
largely fragmentized into small pockets, with over half have been lost due to
disturbance of the natural habitat, e.g. forest and natural grasslands converted to
mono-crop agriculture and timber plantations, built-up areas and mangroves
converted to built-up and fishponds. (See Table 7.14)

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

In terms of hydrologic properties, the general conditions of the sub-

watersheds are considered as moderate. This is marked by significant rise in peak
flood flows and corresponding reduction in volume during low flow periods, a few
small streams and springs no longer flow all year round or dry up slightly earlier.
Water logging is experienced in low-lying sites such as in Caibaan and Apitong.
Although there has been no water quality monitoring conducted, the upstream to
midstream areas are believed to carry low levels of chemical contaminants, which
are still within the EMB safety limits including moderate to low biological
contamination leading to moderate increase in the incidence of water-borne
diseases.

 Tree Farms/ Plantations

There are no registered plantations, of significant size in the City, except for
those planted in the CBFM areas, the Manobo IFMA in Bagacay and the Two- year
old even age plantation supported by GIZ, covering 390 hectares. With proper
management, an optimum density of 1,000 trees per hectare, the plantation should
contain at rotation age (16 years), a total of 390,000 trees with a stand- stock
volume of 117,000 cubic meters. Despite the potentially large urban market for
wood and wood products, tree plantations still has to draw interests from serious
small holder tree farmers. The potential production area for tree plantation can
reach 1,062.164 hectares. Most of which can be found in the Tigbao-Diit and
Barugwan-Suhi watersheds.

 Grasslands and Cultivated Areas

Grasslands and agricultural production plots represent a major land use
type in the key sub-watersheds. These land use category, represent 49.34% of
total land area and 42.16% of the forest and forestland area. The Tigbao-Diit sub-
watershed has the most extensive grassland cover and agricultural production.
Considering the degree of economic and environmental values that it brings to the
City, the Tigbao-Diit sub-watershed requires the greatest attention in terms of
development and conservation efforts. Coconuts plantations claim 629.65 hectares
of the City’s total land area and most often these occur in mosaics with secondary
forest and brushlands in some of the barangays. The sizes are comparatively

City Planning and Development Office 513

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

smaller as would normally be seen in neighbouring municipalities, which are less

urbanized.

 Biodiversity
In terms of biodiversity values, the Baruguan-Suhi sub-watershed has the
highest index score, because of its relatively high natural forest cover. For all
values (hydrologic, economic and ecotourism), the paired Tigbao and Diit sub-
watersheds ranks with the highest consolidated index score. Said sub-watershed
hosted the 440.0 hectares upland watershed development project (CY 2011 –
2013) supported through a financing agreement with GIZ. Unluckily, it was
damaged by super typhoon Yolanda. The active restoration of forest cover by the
DENR through the National Greening Projects (NGP) augurs well for plans to tap
on the sub-watersheds river systems for the development of a water supply system
to augment the current supply provided by the Leyte Metro Water District (LMWD)
particularly in the North resettlement areas of Tacloban. Further forest restoration
activities and tough enforcement of Forestry laws is needed to realize the
sustainable watershed management objective.

 Watersheds

The stakeholder profile of the City’s forest and forestland areas, offers an
understanding of the current realities in watershed management. From a forest
planning standpoint, decision support systems can be developed to respond to the
peculiarities of the City’s watershed landscape which is dissected into different
watershed management units. Each of these sub-watersheds covers a cluster of
barangays suggesting spatial and functional connectivity relationships, in terms of
demography and land use. There are ten (10) sub-watershed units that had been
delineated based on topographical orientation.

 Status of Sub-watersheds

Tacloban’s landscape is host to six (6) distinct sub-watershed management

units. The sub-watershed with the largest concentration of watershed-embedded
barangays is the Tigbao–Diit sub-watershed. This covers key barangays such as
Barangays 103-A, 103, 37-A, 12, 94, 94-A, 104, 91 and 110.

The areas of significant cover are found in the portions of barangays

Camansihay, Bagacay .Sto. Nino and Sta. Elena, which occur in the north-western
part of the City transect. The Caibaan-Utap sub-watershed is host to the Caibaan
CBFMA which has expanded to 105 hectares in the low relief mountain at the
south-western end of the City. The downstream part has been the scene of major
flooding in the City, in recent years.

 Forest Cover Status

The ratio of forest cover to forestland area (40:60) suggests a low forest per
capita. This is well below the threshold set by FAO. The REIS land cover map show
that the city has 399.39 hectares of open canopy residual natural forests. These
are found in the steeps slopes of Tigbao-Diit and Baruguan-suhi watersheds.
These fragments of natural forest occur at elevation ranges 300-500 masl. in the
barangays of Camansihay and Bagacay. The 2009 REIS Map identifies several
land cover types, namely, annual crops, perennial crops (coconuts), closed forest
and shrubs.

 Settlements in Forestlands

Dispersed settlements occur in the forestland area, notably in the Tigbao-

Diit watershed. The number of most probable untenured settlers in the sub-
watershed consists of 66 families. The Palanog, San Roque cluster is especially
vulnerable to the encroachment of settlements into the forest zone, since it is close
to the resettlement area, where pressure for land is accentuated.

 Infrastructure and Private Investments in the FFL

Except for the extension of the local road system across Palanog towards Sta.
Fe town, there are no major infrastructures that carry significant management
implications to the forest and forestland area. No major roads and bridges are
planned and public infrastructures are mostly limited to road improvement projects.
The Wildlife Rescue Center represents one of the modest public sector
investments that is forest related. This involved rehabilitation of physical structures
for administration building facility and visitor reception.

 Production and Protection Forestland

The Balance Sheet of Production and Protection Forestlands, based on

slope and elevation parameters, suggest a significantly large area (1,910.11
hectares) that can be allocated for production forestry purposes. However, the
conservation values placed for source-water protection areas (1,993.43 hectares)
and the presence of discontinuous forest cover, combined to create a needed layer
of protection for its degraded watersheds. See Map below.

This category extends to the 10-hectares Regional Wildlife Rescue Centre

(RWRC) at Barangay Salvacion, although the site can be very well be set aside as
a protected area. The Production Assets of the City’s forestland area covers
3,932.04 hectares while the Protection Lands constitute 205.17 hectares,
representing 4.96 per cent of total forestlands area. Using the slope-elevation,
technical criteria as basis for determining zones of protection, may be of little
consequence, to Tacloban’s case. High conservation values placed on water
sources (e.g. Brgy. Camansihay) and small pockets of natural forest.

7.1.6 Recommended Components and Strategies for FLUP Implementation

 Policy Measures
Clear policy statement of the City in securing the watershed protection zone
is an essential policy prescription that will serve as the cornerstone for allocation
and zoning. Agricultural plots and settlements within the proposed water reservoir
in the Tigbao-Diit sub-watershed may have to be purposively managed, since
these carry possible involuntary resettlement issues. Actual land users are to be
given preferential option for forest land stewardship. Forestlands claimed by non-
residents have to be allocated judiciously for public interest projects, such as for
watershed protection. Whenever practicable, forest-based families can be given
the option to live and develop the area (1-ha plots) with livelihood support system
for conservation farming.

Sound policy fundamentals require that the watershed-embedded

barangays be recognized as key institutional stakeholder in the allocation and land
management system. The barangay can be engaged in the determination of
potential “controlled” forest estates for relocating forest-based dependents. It shall
also be the policy and organizational thrust of the City to organize, institutionalize
and strengthen the cluster of barangays into watershed management councils.

In the event that major commercial- scale water resource development

projects are to take place in any of the City’s sub-watersheds, a system for
Payment of Environment Service (PES), has to be adopted as a policy
prescription. This suggests that conservation fees have to be bundled in the water
price, placed in a trust fund and then plowed-back to the watershed-embedded
barangays in terms of needed basic services and livelihood programs.

 Allocation and Closure of Open Access FFL

The cornerstone of the FLUP is to ensure that the balance of FFL areas not
covered by tenure regimes (CBFM, IFMA), will be earmarked for co-management.
This implies the operationalizing the provisions of DENR-DILG Joint Memorandum
Circular 2003-01 on partnership in the management of forests and forest land
areas. The existing co-management agreement will be retrofitted to include
discrete allocation models, with the issuance of individual property rights (IPR).

524 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

The prototype for this shall apply to the 440 hectares of forest lands currently
developed and managed by the City ENRO, with assistance from GIZ. The
enhanced Co-Management Model will apply to discrete, open-access areas
specific to a particular sub-watershed. In this instance, the Co-management
agreement for Tigbao-Diit sub-watershed specifies discrete open-access,
production versus protection forestlands. (See Table 7.24)

 Management of Allocated FFL

A conclusive feature of the co-management agreement is the assignment

of sub-agreements (or cooperative agreements) to farmer-stakeholders who
participated in the reforestation and agro-forestation initiatives of the city. The
agreements should however conform to the allocation model, where ANR-projects
will have to be set aside for protection purposes, while reforestation projects will
generally fall into the Forest Production Area (FPA) of the watershed.

The designation of Tigbao-Diit as Community Watershed in support to the

future water supply requirements of the City is a key option. The zoning
arrangement will however consider potential Communal Forest Production Areas,
within the sub-watershed. This will have to be effected through the cluster of
barangays, which can help determine the appropriate area that can be set aside
for wood production.

Following the “Leaf-Vein” strategy, the apical sections of the sub-watershed

including the critical slopes along its margins and the 20-meter riparian setback
and buffer along the midrib of the watershed –drainage area shall be designated

526 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

as Strict Protection Zone. All other areas can be designated as Agro-forestry and
Limited Timber Production Zones (See Table 7.26).

Figure 7. 2 Tigbao-Diit Sub-Watershed

Figure 7. 3 Tigbao-Diit Sub-Watershed

Flagging the critical sections on the map however is not enough to make
restrictions work. Providing “vegetation-marker” measures (e.g. the African tulip
(Spathodeacampanulata) with its red inflorescence can help community-based
enforcement draw the line with the help of the barangays.

 Advocacy, Communication and Social Mobilization

The City will have to adopt key advocacy points to acquire support from key
stakeholders, particularly the watershed-embedded barangays. A “water, trees
and life”-type of social marketing should bring the message of securing the
productive and protective properties of the sub-watersheds to the barangays who
by the very nature of their presence in the area can become effective
communication medium. Efforts have to be directed in supporting the barangays
in mobilizing its citizens not only in tree planting, but as well as the avoidance of
grass, brush and forest fire.

It is envisaged that resource support from private institutions shall be

enlisted, as part of the City’s drive to tap Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
commitments to support reforestation/ rainforestation. (e.g. Adopt –A-Forest).

 Enforcement of Forestry Laws, Rules and Regulation

The weakest link in the enforcement oftentimes occurs at the level of the
community. Proactive participation of the stakeholder-barangays is the key for
developing a preventative system, rather than the reactive-punitive system, which
demand institutional attention and resources to become sustainably effective. The

528 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

strategy calls for anchoring forest management with barangay involvement with the
support from the DILG. Incentive mechanisms need to be installed to support
barangays involved in forest protection. Organization of Watershed-Management
Council of the cluster of barangays sharing the same watershed management unit
is a key measure to improve. Common policies and unified actions within the
watershed cluster.

 Forestland Rehabilitation, Development and Management

Effort to rehabilitate the City’s watersheds is a continuing effort by the City

Government and the DENR through its National Greening Program. The set of
measures shall continue to expand the scale of reforestation activity. At the
moment, the City ENRO is helping the PNP and the private sector, negotiate for
areas that can be reforested under the aegis of the National Greening Program. A
stakeholder and tenure-oriented land use, characterizes the City’s approach to
forestland management. The Tigbao-Diit sub-watershed serves as the illustrative
example of this continuing initiative, where at least 200 families are being tapped
to carry out, plantation and agro-forestry development activities.

a) Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR)

The Source Water protection areas (SWPA) in all the sub-watersheds have
to be provided with added ANR-interventions, to ensure sustained re-growth of
natural vegetation. ANR is expected to bring back forest cover by as 20% over
the next three years. This improvement in cover can potentially reduce peak flows
and run-off damage downstream by a meta-equivalent of 15-20% flood discharge.

b) Community Forest Production Areas

The delineation of community forest production areas covering at least 10

hectares per barangay within the sub-watershed cluster can potentially provide
fuelwood requirements, in the short term and sawnwood over the longer term
rotation period of the plantations. This will also reduce tendencies to extract wood
requirements from the remaining natural forests, which traditionally have been the
sources of the local people.

City Planning and Development Office 529

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

c) Soil and Water Conservation Measures

Hillyland cultivation within forest production area is to be directed towards

the adoption of conservation (e.g. contour farming)/landcare farming practices.
Conservation credits can be given to compliant farmers who can be rewarded with
material and funding incentives from the City Agriculture Services.

d) Nursery Establishment

Establishment of network of nurseries at the barangay level and within the

schools system to support NGP requirements and tree plantation requirements of
private entities will be encouraged. Clonal nurseries can be developed from the
actively managed CBFM and Co-managed areas, as source of planting materials.
The barangay’s annual seedling production can accommodate the DILG’s support
requirement for barangays (25,000 seedlings/annum) as national convergence
initiative commitment to the NGP.

e) Multisectoral Protection and Management of Tacloban’s Watersheds

Institutionalization of a Co-Management Steering Structure (CoMSS)

involving the City LGU, DENR, Private Sector and Civil Society Organization will
be the centrepiece Eco-Governance Structure for the Co-Management platform.
The CoMSS shall be responsible for policy review and guidance to the primary
implementing units such as the City ENRO and DENR-CENRO. Whenever
practicable, it shall however, include a representative from the Private Sector, Civil
Society and the academe.

 Development of Tourism

The tourism potentials of the Tacloban’s forests and forestland areas are
relatively understated, in view of the high profile ecotourism destinations in the
Leyte Island. Nevertheless, it remains important to highlight in the plan, FFL assets
with potential ecotourism values. This includes primarily the Balugo Falls within
the Regional Wildlife Rescue Centre (RWRC) and the Tigbao –Diit Rainforest
System.

530 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

 Forest Management as Economic Enterprise

Forest Management can be turned into Economic Enterprises such as, but
not limited to timber, fuelwood production and agro-forestry. Even cottage-level
nurseries can be encouraged, with technical support from the City ENRO. The
nurseries can supply the requirements of the NGP target areas in the City’s priority
watersheds, and private tree planters as well. The development of livelihood
enhancing agro-forestry (LEAF) systems such as Sericulture-based agro-forestry
project advocated by the City Agriculture Office can potentially provide both
economic and environmental safeguards as well. (See Table 7.27)

7.2 Biodiversity in Tacloban City

Introduction

Sustainability managed forest areas cannot entirely replace protected areas

as storehouses for biodiversity, but they can be integral component of conservation
strategy that encompasses a larger portion of the landscape to be set aside for
strict protection. Within the context of biodiversity conservation, assessment of
vegetation with emphasis on biological diversity measurement becomes
increasingly important in the sustainable management and conservation of forests
particularly those inside protected areas.

Principles and Benefit of Biodiversity

Biodiversity or biological diversity is the variability of life. It is composed of

(a) the variety of ecosystem types, (b) the variety of species, and (c) the variety of
gene types in each species.

Biodiversity provides options/choices and resilience to natural ecosystems.

Thus, it helps sustain the clean air, water, food, safety of and materials for shelter,
clothes, materials, medicines, regulated climate, recreation, and other things that
people use. Biodiversity helps protect people from hazards such as landslides and

City Planning and Development Office 535

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

storms and is especially important in this era of rapid climate change. We need
biodiversity for our survival but we must be cautioned not to use it beyond its natural
ability to regenerate its living-giving functions both for the present and future
generations.

Biodiversity resources provide the human population with ecological life support
services and economic benefits. Biodiversity has both direct and indirect use
values:

 Direct use values of biodiversity refer to harvestable products that

include raw materials and extracts with medicinal uses and/or
manufactured into pharmaceutical products; agricultural uses that
include crops, biological pest control and pollinators; and consumptive
uses that include wood, fish, and meat, among other material goods for
consumption.

 Indirect values are ecological services that provide life support systems
benefitting the human population such as biogeochemical cycles, waste
disposal, and provision of fresh water, prevention of soil erosion,
regulation of climate and provision of ecotourism amenities, among
others. The diversity of the biological composition of forest ecosystem
and coastal habitats sustains the stability and productivity of their
ecological functions, which provide vital life support services and
material products that benefit the human population.

 Biodiversity in Tacloban City

The geographic location and diverse habitats of the Philippines make it one
of the 18 countries in the world with the most biodiversity or mega-diversity
countries. Many of the Philippines’ species are endemic meaning they are found
nowhere else in the world.

 The Philippines ranks fifth among all countries in terms of diversity in plant
species and fourth in terms of bird endemism.
 About 25 genera of plants and 49 percent of the Philippines’ wildlife are
endemic to the country.
 The Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia have the highest coral, seagrass
and reef fish diversity in the world
 Inland waters host at least 121 endemic freshwater species (BMB, 2009).

In Tacloban City, the wildlife rescue center in Brgy. Salvacion, contains

about ten (10.0) hectares of tree plantations and secondary forests. Assessment
of current status of the vegetation within the proposed wildlife sanctuary can
provide baseline information to researchers, development planners and local
government officials for the determination of the kind of intervention needed for
rehabilitation conservation and protection programs.

 Species Composition

A total of 94 tree species were recorded belonging to 44 families. The most

represented family with 11 species was the Moraceae. This is foolowed by
Euphorbiaceae with 9 species. The other highly represented families were
Apocynaceae (4), Lauraceae (4), Poaceae (4), Anacardiaceae (3)
Dipterocarpaceae (3), most species in Moraceae and Euphorbiaceae families are
pioneer and are associated with regeneration areas both in the open and partially
shaded conditions. For the other most represented families, species were present
in regenerations inside reforestations sites.

 Species Distribution

Seventy-five of the species recorded are found in the intermediate layer, 39

in the ground layer and 22 in the canopy layer. Most of the species are under the
stage of regeneration inside reforestation areas. Species occupying the canopy
are composed of reforestation species such as mahogany, teak, yemani, almaciga,
and dao. Naturally occupying species in advanced regeneration areas like bahai
and toog also composed the canopy layer. Species occupying the ground layer
include both species adopted in the open such as the grasses and associated
species and regeneration species Grass species are abundant in the ground layer
when the canopy is relatively open; regeneration species are common in the
ground layer under partial shaded conditions.

 Mammalian Fauna

A total of 11 mammals were recorded in the study site. These belong to 5

orders and families. The most represented order was Chiroptera with 6 species. Of
these 11 mammals, three (27%) are endemic to the Philippines and 3 of which 3
(27%) are listed under CITES Appendix II.

Most bat species are known to be abundant in disturbed sites particularly

associated with human habitation. The presence of these species indicates that
the area is practically open although the vegetation in some areas are still intact.
Two murids (Polynesian rat and Oriental House rat) and the Asian House Shrew
are present in site. These are commensal species that are common in urban and
rural areas in or near human habitation and agricultural areas.

 Avifaunal Species

A total of 36 birds species were recorded in the study site (Table 1). These
species belong to 11 orders, 24 families and 30 genera. The most represented
order is Passeriformes with 18 species belonging to 13 families. The second most
represented order is Columbiformes with 5 species. This is followed by orders
Coraciliformes with 3 species and Cuculiformes and Psittaciformes with 2 species
each.

Columbidae is the most represented family with 5 species of dove and 1

species of pigeon. It is followed by family Pycnonotidae with three species of
bulbul. Most Columbidae species are frugivorous and are often encountered in
brushlands bordering secondary forest areas. Their ability as good agents for seed
dispersal enables them to play vital role in the forest ecosystem. Of the 36 avian
species recorded in Brgy. Salvacion, eleven (30%) are endemic to the Philippines.
Three species are listed in CITES appendix II.

 Herpetofaunal Species

A total of 4 species of amphibians belonging to 2 families were observed in

Brgy. Salvation, TaclobanCity (Table 3). Of the 4 species, 2 are resident (Common
Ricefield frog and Rock Frog) while the other 2 (and Horned Litter Toad and Giant

City Planning and Development Office 543

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Philippine Frog) are endemic. The 3 species of Ranids are associated with
relatively clean water bodies.

A total of 11 reptiles belonging to 8 families recorded in the site of which 2

(18%) are endemic to the Philippines. Order Squamata is the most represented
with 5 species of lizards.

The Asian Box Turtle is associated to bodies of water from highly disturbed
areas near cultivation to the forest interior. All the species of geckos and lizards
were seen in or close to human dwellings. All species of skink are common in
disturbed habitats. Interviews conducted with local people revealed that most of
these of reptile species were of less importance among them, except for the
Monitor Lizards.

The presence of Monitor Lizard in the area was confirmed by key informants
but they are already declining significantly in number. This species which is hunted
for is included in CITES appendix II.

A total of 36 birds, 11 mammals, 4 amphibians and 11 reptiles were

recorded in Brgy. Salvation, Tacloban City. Most of them are cosmopolitan and are
common in disturbed habitats. A good number of endemic species were observed.
Some threatened species listed in CITES Appendix II were still present but
population is declining already. Commercially important wildlife species were no
longer observed.

 Threats to Biodiversity

The most serious threat to wildlife in the area is hunting, Habitat alteration
brought about by agricultural cultivation in surrounding areas of the plantation and
indiscriminate cleaning of regeneration areas and abandoned cultivation for
firewood production in adjoining areas are also great threat to wildlife.

Another serious concern is the illegal occupation and clearing up of

biodiversity rich areas by informal settlers for housing and agriculture; and the
cutting down of forest and hunting of wildlife for their daily household needs and
livelihood. Because of these activities, critical habitats become fragmented and
human settlements eventually take over in the use of biodiversity areas.

Diverse forest, inland wetland and marine habitats are also exposed to
increasing levels of landslides and storms due to human impacts on the global
climate. Over the long-term, climate change poses a big threat to the survival of
vulnerable species including those which have low tolerance for temperature and
rainfall changes.

Considering the magnitude of the present and foreseeable disturbances in

the area, there is therefore an urgent need to implement some conservation
measures. Such conservation measures must integrate economically viable and
socially acceptable livelihood alternatives for the local communities in order to
lessen their dependence on the resources that are otherwise reserved for
biodiversity conservation and watershed protection.

Ecological studies on threatened fauna must be carried out before any

conservation measures are effectively implemented. More intensive faunal survey

City Planning and Development Office 547

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

must be done to fully account for other important species that might not have been
covered by the present faunal inventory.

The DENR-BMB reports that there are 207 animal and 526 plant species in
the Philippines threatened with extinction (DENR-BMB 2013). These species have
developed over millions of years and cannot be replaced if lost. The rate at which
the country’s endemic species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction
is a cause for alarm that calls for immediate concerted efforts among various
institutions and organizations. The protection and conservation of critical habitats
require close coordination among the different national government agencies,
LGUs, NGOs, the private sectors, and local community organizations.

Biodiversity is being degraded the fastest due to:

 Destruction and conversion of natural areas to other uses such as logging,

agriculture, housing, unregulated mining, unregulated tourism, poorly
planned development infrastructure projects, etc.,
 Rapid climate change

Based on result, it can be concluded that the wildlife sanctuary in Brgy.

Salvacion, Tacloban City is within a reforestation area dominated by few exotic
reforestation species. Protected regenerations which host some native timber
species however are present within its borders. Tree layers inadequately stocked
and regenerating native species mostly at sapling stage are present in the
intermediate layer of most plantations. Within the context of biodiversity
conservation, enrichment planting using native species is necessary and strategies
must be designed to protect naturally occurring native vegetation to improve local
biodiversity and increase availability of important food materials for wildlife.

7.3 Coastal and Marine Resources

With the presence of mangrove area and an abundant sea grass, corals
stretching from the south at San Jose all the way to the north in Tagpuro, the
marine life was generally abundant and sustainable before the typhoon in 2013.
After typhoon Yolanda, much of Tacloban City has been devastated by the storm
surge which had lasting impacts to its coastline as well as coastal and marine
resources. The sea has grown closer to the land, shorelines facing San Pedro bay
have shrunk, debris and garbage that have flown into Leyte Gulf have sunk in and
got concentrated at the bottom of Anibong, Kankabato and San Pedro Bay; and
mangrove areas along Diit, Anibong, Burayan and San Jose’s airstrip have
sustained serious damage during and after the onslaught of the super typhoon.

Facilitating the rehabilitation and recovery of the city’s coastal and marine
ecosystems continues to be a challenge for the LGU and the locals. Considerable
efforts have been exerted by the LGU, some National Government Agencies, Local
and International NGOs as well as locals in trying to at bring back or at least bring
growth to the remaining resources left of the typhoon.

7.3.1 Mangroves

Tacloban officially has 190.87 hectares of mangrove area. The mangrove

area within the city coastline was in good condition based on the abundance and
type of mangrove species present prior to the typhoon in November 2013. (See
Table 7.31)

However based on GIZ survey of the damage of mangrove areas after the
typhoon were summarized as follows: Brgy 75 San Jose – 70% damage; Brgy 83
San Jose - 90% damage; BrgyBagacay- 80%damage; Brgy Nulatula-80%
damage. (See photo of damaged mangrove taken by GTZ, 2014)

During the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda, some agencies, with the support
of NGOs have conducted initial damage assessment in Tacloban City’s mangrove
areas as well as coastal resources. These conducted assessments revealed the
extent of damage in these marine ecosystems as well as remaining and resilient
species of mangroves, corals and other marine resources. (See table 7.3.2 below)

552 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

By 2014 up to December 2015, the Leyte Gulf Project and the 1 Billion Trees
project, in line with the National Greening Program was enacted by the Department
of Environment and National Resources across the coastal areas along Leyte Gulf
to restore and replace the mangroves that died and got damaged during and after
typhoon Yolanda.

7.3.2 Seagrass

Taking care of our natural

environment is the key to
sustainability and for our food
security. Unless threats such as
pollution, siltation, overpopulation
of coastal communities, resources
use conflicts, climate change and
calamities such as typhoon which
disturbs its natural habitat will be
dealt with or managed properly,
the food supply of our general
population is in peril. Seagrass
was not abundant in Tacloban City
which can be reflected based on
study of Seagrass-seaweed sites
cover percentage conducted by
GTS in 2013 prior to the typhoon. (See Figure 7.3)

According to GTZ study of seagrass condition in Tacloban City in November

2013, the overall, pointed to very poor to poor condition. Results could be attributed
to the substrate type of the area which poorly favours the growth of both
seagrasses and seaweeds. Cymodocea and Halodule species best thrive on sandy
substrate while Thalasia species thrive more on sandy-muddy substrates. Those
that grow best on muddy substrate are dominated by Enhalus species (Resquera,
2006). Presence of debris and material remnants from the typhoon could also have
bearing on the quality of substrate and impact on the over-all environmental
conditions that possibly also affects its growth. (See Table 7.31)

After the typhoon, the coastal and marine clean-up, on the other hand took
about 2-3 years before its enactment in Cancabato Bay in 2016 while the rest of
Leyte Gulf also await debris clean-up and retrieval. While DA-BFAR has conducted
a rapid assessment of the stocks remaining in Cancabato bay with the National
Stock Assessment Program, no Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment has

City Planning and Development Office 557

been conducted yet. The last PCRA conducted within Tacloban City’s waters was
done way back in 2003.

7.3.3 Fishery Resources

NSAP is an agency that aims to determine the trend of seasonal distribution,

relative to abundance, size, and species composition of the major marine
resources in each fishing ground, provide estimates of population parameters of
the major marine resources in each fishing ground.

According to NSAP, Tacloban need to manage our fishery resources

because the poverty incidence of Fishermen has increased form 35% in 2003 to
42.10% in 2006 or an increase of 17.60% .Tacloban catch at San Jose has steadily
declined from 2009-2014. There is a slight rise in fish catch at about 40,000kgs in
2015. The possible reason behind is that the natural habitat has slowly recovered
and so with the fisher folks wherein livelihood assistance from NGO’s and the
government was given after the damage brought by the Typhoon in 2013. (See
Table 7.3.5)

City Planning and Development Office 559

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Based on GTZ study after the typhoon in November 2013, the following
physico-chemical parameters obtained in the six barangays of Tacloban City, Leyte
varies. Salinity were all within the normal range, however, temperature were lower
in Barangays Tagpuro, Old Kawayan and Anibong ranging from 14.47 to 15.17 °C.
This could be due to the heavy rains during the assessment in these sites whereas
as Fisherman’s Village, Sto. Niño and Dio Island had higher temperatures ranging
from 30-40 °C which could also be due to the very sunny weather at the time of the
assessment in these areas. Dissolve oxygen in the area were generally high as
some sites were conducted in shallow and mostly done during low tides. The
variation of the type of macroinvertebrates from sponges, corals, echinoderms,
crustaceans to gastropods

 Threats of Natural Habitat Damage

Unless threats such as pollution, siltation, overpopulation of coastal

communities, resources use conflicts, climate change and calamities such as
typhoon which disturbs its natural habitat will be dealt with of managed properly,
the food supply of our general population is in peril. It must be noted that it takes
years for our corals, mangrove, seagrass and other natural habitat of aquatic
resources to recover. Taking care of our natural environment is the key to

7.3.4 Coral Reef

Dio Island, resembling like a teardrop is located less than a kilometer in the
eastern side portion of the Daniel Romualdez Airport. It is under the jurisdiction of
barangay San Jose, Tacloban City. The island was declared as a protected area
by the city, although have been privately manage by a local resort for a number of
years. The area is also being monitored and protected by the City Agriculture Office
and regional BFAR and DENR. The island’s 2 hectare area is surrounded by a
fringing reef known to many locals with having good coral cover and abundance of
fish.

In the latest assessment, two (2) stations were established on the area with
three (3) transects laid per station. Transect lengths were reduced to 30 meters
from the proposed 50 meters due to the area profile of the reef. Transects were
laid at an average depth of six (6) meters. Current was light and visibility was
estimated at 15 meters.

Among all sites surveyed, only in Dio Island showed good coral cover
conditions after Typhoon Yolanda with live hard coral cover of 54%. Rubble was
also minimal with about 5% in both stations compared to sand and silt found
elsewhere in other sites and in Station 1 with 34%. In terms of dead coral with
algae, it was however abundant in Station 2 with nearly 30% cover.

In terms of coral morphologies remaining after typhoon Yolanda, coral

massive types of mostly Porites species dominated the reef with 52% in Station 2
and 23% in Station 1. Meanwhile submassive types (mostly Pavonasps.) also
showed high percentage cover particularly in Station 2 with 27%. Some branching
Acroporid types also showed high percentage cover. Some coral patch outside the
transects however showed bleached and upturned corals. These are signs that the
area is threatened owing to impact from the typhoon, differing climatic conditions
of the late and unsustainable practices of fishing in the area.

 Reef Fish Assemblage

A total of 37 fish species belonging to 15 families and 27 genera were

recorded in Dio Island, Tacloban City. Of these, eight (8) fish families with 25
species were non-target and seven (7) families with 12 species were target fish
species. Between the two (2) stations established, Station 1 registered the highest
number of target and non-target species with 23 and 10 species respectively.

 Macro Invertebrates Composition

A total of eight (8) macroinvertebrate species were recorded in the recent

assessment in Dio Island, Tacloban City (Table 5.15). Coral clam and mix sponges
dominated the area in terms of composition and occurrence. Although there were
no commercially targeted macroinvertebrates recorded within the transects laid,
these type of species still abounds the area and were documented and reported in
the previous section under the seagrass heading.

CHAPTER 8 SPECIAL AREA STUDIES

8.1 Heritage Conservation in Tacloban

As one of the fastest growing urban centers in the country, Tacloban City
became highly urbanized in 2008 after it stayed as a component city in the Province
of Leyte since 1952. With its humble beginnings as a former small fishing village
under Barrio Buscada of Basey, Samar before it turned into a town during the
colonial period approximately 1669-1770, Tacloban and the Taclobanons
witnessed foreign dominations during Spanish, American and Japanese
occupations with the bulk of historicity during the Filipino-American War, World War
I (1914-1918) connected to World War II ( 1939-1945) and the post-liberation
period, thus, a very interesting locality with flying colors and fertile ground for
cultural, historical and heritage conservation, protection, promotion, research,
development and management.

The Spanish colonial era lasting for almost 4 centuries, 333 years more or
less, which ended at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898, greatly
influenced the cultural, spiritual, economic, civil and political landscape not only of
Tacloban but of the entire Philippine archipelago as well. When Ferdinand
Magellan – the first circumnavigator, first saw Homonhon Island at the mouth of
Leyte Gulf in March 16, 1521 as the official discovery of the Philippines, followed
by similar expeditions where Ruy Lopez de Villalobos in 1543 named Leyte and
Samar Islands as “Las Islas Filipinas’ after Prince II of Spain and with the most
successful voyage that was of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in 1564 by discovering
“tornaviaje” or return trip to Mexico via Pacific Ocean leading to start of Manila
Galleon Trade that lasted two and a half centuries have greatly shaped the
Philippines and Tacloban for what they are today.

During the Philippine-American (Fil-Am) War, 1899-1902, Tacloban was the

headquarters of the US 6th Separate Brigade commanded by US Army Brigadier
General Jacob Smith tasked to suppress insurrection in Samar, “once and for all,
as quickly as possible”, led by General Vicente Lucban after the Balangiga Incident

City Planning and Development Office 571

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

in September 28, 1901, commissioned by US Division of the Philippines Army

Commander, Major General Adna Chaffee. Augmented by a Marine Batallion from
1stBrigade, US Marines in Cavite, they heeded to Basey and eastward to Balangiga
peripherals led by USMC Major Littleton W.T. Waller who was orally instructed by
BGen Smith that “I want no prisoners, I wish you to kill and burn, the more you kill
and burn, the better you will please me. I want all persons killed who are capable
of bearing arms in actual hostilities against the United States.’ Unimaginable
atrocities in southern part of Samar ensued prompting MGen Chaffee to order
BGen Smith, who made the “howling wilderness” order, together with Maj. Waller
be court-martialed, the highest military official on record in all military history to
undergo court martial proceedings resulting to their disgraceful forced retirement
from US military service.

After serving as Military Governor of the Philippines from 1900-1901 and

authorizing an expedition resulting the capture of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo and
latter’s taking allegiance to United States, BGen Arthur MacArthur Jr. became the
US Commander of the Department of the Pacific paving for his promotion to major
general while his son, fresh from graduation as top-rank cadet, 2Lt. Douglas
MacArthur was commissioned at the US Army Corps of Engineers’ 3rd Engineering
Batallion which departed for the Philippines in October 1903. He was sent to Iloilo
to supervise a wharf construction and went to conduct surveys at Tacloban City,
Calbayog City and Cebu City and was promoted to first lieutenant before he went
back to San Francisco after he contracted with malaria and itch during a survey in
Bataan. In 1905, he became chief engineer of the Pacific Division and promoted
captain in February 1911 heading the Military Engineering Dept. Back to War
Department in 1915, he was promoted major and became the army’s first press
officer.

During World War 1 that originated in Europe starting July 28, 1914 & ending
November 11, 1918, Filipino soldiers were enlisted in the US Army as Philippine
National Guards contributing to the American Expeditionary Force to join the Allied
Forces in France against the Central Powers. In US, Army Colonel Douglas
MacArthur as Chief of Staff of the National Guard Bureau, now in infantry, sailed
to France with the 42nd Rainbow Division for various offensives and promoted

572 City Planning and Development Office

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

brigadier general to head the 84th Infantry Brigade for their successes before they
boarded back to New York on April 25, 1919. Without direct war participation, the
Filipinos were just exciting and expecting the grant of Independence.

The short-lived Japanese Occupation, 1942-1945, started with the invasion

of the Philippines in December 8, 1941 10 hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor
until it formally surrendered on September 2, 1945. It established a caretaker or
puppet republic headed by President Jose P. Laurel with most of the Philippine
elites serving the Japanese government.

Liberation of the Philippines during World War 2 (1939-1945) was

characterized by the resounding popular phrases “I shall return” and “I have
returned’. It is the fulfillment of General Douglas MacArthur’s pronouncement in
March 11, 1942 saying “The President of the United States (Roosevelt) ordered
me to break through the Japanese lines and proceed from Corregidor to Australia
for the purpose, as I understand it, of organizing the American offensive against
Japan, a primary objective of which is the relief of the Philippines. I came through
and I shall return” and in October 20, 1944 saying “People of the Philippines: I
have returned. By the grace of Almighty God our forces stand again on Philippine
soil—soil consecrated in the blood of our two peoples. We have come dedicated
and committed to the task of destroying every vestige of enemy control over your
daily lives, and of restoring upon a foundation of indestructible strength, the
liberties of your people”. A fulfillment of the same when he set foot on Leyte shores
via the Battle of Leyte Gulf – world’s largest naval war ever recorded and paving
the way for Tacloban as the capital of the Philippines for a brief period October 20,
1944 – February 27, 1945. And the rest, flamboyant war and liberation history.

8.1.1 Problems & Development Needs/ Requirements

The presence and potentiality of the multitude and richness of the heritage
properties and other cultural assets of the city, both currently recognized and those
for proposed additional resources, requires their appropriate, relevant, timely,
efficient and effective handling, care, conservation, protection and management
and that in failing so, would distance and/or further deteriorate their physical,
aesthetic, engineering/architectural and heritage integrity, value and sustainability.

When done and if anchored on the Filipino belief that “ang taong hindi
marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan”,
would increase the cultural awareness and consciousness of the Taclobanons as
individuals and as a community boosting their local identity and pride towards their
desired progress and development molded by inter-generational cultural diversity,
patriotism and nationalism.

City Planning and Development Office 579

TACLOBAN CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN VOLUME III 2017-2025

Not that cultural, heritage and artistic dimensions in the city were ignored,
by-passed, isolated nor absconded, but what is more wanting is a systematic,
synergized, harmonized, structured, inclusive and institutionalized heritage and
cultural development and management.

8.1.2 Issues on Hazards at the Heritage Sites

Except for some heritage sites that are in elevated areas such as Camp
Bampus (Leyte Park), Tacloban City Hall or Calvary Hill in Nula-tula most of our
heritage within the downtown area and therefore prone to storm surge hazard
susceptibility. As a counter measure these structures should be retrofitted or even
elevated to counter the damage that was brought to these structures during
typhoon Yolanda in 2013.

Most of the downtown area are less prone to flooding and therefore not at
risk since the city is very near the coastline wherein the water cannot stay for a
longer period of time. The landslide problem on the other hand is at risk in highly
sloping area such as the Calvary Hill. The only counter-measure in these area is
to ensure forest protection through tree planting and enforcement of law against
illegal loggers.

8.1.3 Conclusion, Recommendations and/or Alternative Actions

In sum, it is concluded that heritage conservation and cultural development

programs, plans, projects, activities and policies in the city should be given
emphasis and be enshrined in local, inter-local, regional and national governance
with transparency, participation and inclusivity through, but not limited to, the
following approaches, strategies, options and recommendations:

1. Establishment of a local Heritage, Culture & Arts Council or its equivalent;

2. Continuing inventory, assessment, mapping, data-banking & management
of the city’s heritage, cultural & artistic resources;
3. Policy formulation and adoption of heritage conservation, protection &
management measures (e.g. ordinances, resolutions,
executive/administrative orders, etc.);

and related activities;
14. Classify and/or sub-categorize heritage/cultural properties as cultural
treasures, cultural property, world heritage sites, historical shrine, historical
monument and historical landmark, either locally and/or nationally.
