I. Introduction
1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Maragtas Legend tells the history of loilo way back in the 13
th
century, when Datu Puti and his fellow Datus, together with their
families, warriors and slaves fled from the tyranny of Sultan Makatunao
of Borneo and landed at the mouth of the Sirawagan River, now known
as the town of San Joaquin and eventually settled there.
At that time, people called the "Atis" who were ruled by King Marikudo
and Queen Maniwangtiwang, inhabited Panay. King Marikudo
bartered the lowlands of Panay sland for a golded hat, "saduk" and a
long gold necklace " manangyad", and other assorted gifts to the
Bornean Datus. The latter then took complete control of the island with
the "Atis" retiring to the mountains. t was Datu Paiburong who was
assigned in Irong-irong (shaped like a nose), which was later known
as IIoiIo.
Panay sland was ruled under the Code of Kalantiao, where peace and
prosperity reigned for 300 years. But thus was disputed when the
Spaniards came and established the provincial government.
As early as 1855, loilo opened to the world of trade and became the
biggest port in the Philippines and premier province of the country
because of various economic activities that flourished in the province.
Municipio de loilo became a city under the Bacura Law in 1`893; and
in 1896, the King of Spain cited the City of loilo ' la muy leal" and
'noble ciudad de Iloilo", in recognition of the loyalty of her people to
the Spanish government.
2
When the Philippine revolution started, Panay uprising against the
Saniards was led by Gen. Martin Delgado of Sta. Barbara, who
liberated all the towns except loilo City, Molo and Jaro. December 28,
1898 marked the arrival of
the Americans at the loilo port, and on April 11, 1901, loilo City whose
status has reverted to municipality, became the chief port and trading
center of Panay and Negros. Because it progressed steadily, the
Commonwealth Act No. 158 incorporated the surrounding towns of
Lapaz, Jaro, Mandurriao and Arevalo to form loilo City and was finally
inaugurated on August 25, 1937, and was dubbed as the " Queen City
of the South". Gen Martin Delgado became the first governor of the
PROVINCE OF ILOILO
2. PLAN OBJECTIVES AND CONTEXT
2.1 Objectives of the PDPFP
The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan is the
primary technical guide to the development of the province. ts specific
objectives are to:
a. Derive the overall vision for the province.
b. Provide the analytical basis for understanding existing
conditions and identifying key development issues, problems,
opportunities, goals, objectives, and targets of the province.
c. Translate the vision into implementable strategies towards the
attainment of goals, objectives and targets.
d. Guided by the vision, identify programs, projects, and activities
consistent with the proposed strategies.
2.2 Context of the PDPFP
The PDPFP is a key link in the network of plans covering the national,
regional, provincial and city/municipal level.

Monitoring and
Evaluation
Plans and investment programs at the provincial level must have
vertical connections to corresponding plans at the regional and
city/municipal levels. n turn, regional plans and programs must relate
to corresponding plans at the national level. The resulting PDPFP,
therefore, serves as a vertical link between local development
objectives and regional and national priorities. At the provincial level,
the PPAs from the PDPFP are the bases for a multi-year investment
program, (PDP a prioritized list of PPAs with cost estimates) on an
annual investment program (AP of the current year "slice of the
PDP). n turn, the AP serves as the bases for budgetary allocations
for PPAs.
As shown in the figure below, investment programming, budgeting and
subsequent implementation involve project evaluation and
development, which eventually provide feedback into the next planning
cycle.

3. COVERAGE OF THE PLAN
3.1 HistoricaI Coverage
The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) is
a six-year medium-term development plan, guided by a long-term
vision. t is intended to coincide with two three-year political terms of
the Governor, and can be aligned with a full term of the national
leadership. Planning analyses, however, extend beyond the medium-
term to consider longer-term trends. These are necessary inputs to the
identification of strategies and PPAs for the six-year plan period..
3.2 GeographicaI Coverage
The political boundaries of the province define the primary level of
geographical analysis. Other provinces in the host region as well as
the host region itself, and the country as a whole, are also included as
benchmarks in some of the analyses.
Cities and municipalities within the province serve as the major level of
analytical disaggregation, although barangay-level data are
recommended for selected population analysis. Groups or clusters of
municipalities as well as geographically delineated areas (e.g.,
metropolitan areas, watersheds) may also be utilized as required.
References to land and land use will include water and water use,
unless otherwise specified.
3.3 SectoraI Coverage
The planning environment of the PDPFP includes all major sectors
relevant to the development of the province. As much as possible, and
5
in order to establish comparability and context, sectoral data should be
consistent with regional/national and city/municipal data.
n terms of the traditional sectors that typically serve as templates for
public sector planning analysis and implementation, the core elements
correspond as follows:

2.2.2 Density and Urbanization
loilo City a highly urbanized city, has the highest population density of
7,477 persons/sq.km. t is followed by Estancia with a population
density of 1,238 persons/sq.km., Pavia with 1,122 persons/sq.km.,
San Miguel with 1,112 persons/sq.km., then Oton and Tigbauan with
917 and 900 persons/sq. km., respectively. San Rafael has the lowest
population density with 94 persons/sq.km.. Provincial density is 447
persons/sq.km..
Municipalities with substantially higher population density compared to
the provincial average are Balasan, Barotac Nuevo, Cabatuan,
Guimbal, Leganes, Pototan and Sta. Barbara among others.
loilo City has the highest population density compared to other highly
urbanized cities such as Bacolod City and Cebu City in Visayas, Davao
City in Mindanao, but way behind Metro Manila which has a population
density of 18,137 persons/sq.km. A tabulation of population density of
key cities is provided hereunder.
Based on population density 2007 (Map 4C) , municipalities with high
density are those surrounding the City of loilo. n 1980, population on
these areas are already dense, with densities rnaging from 450 to 600
persons/km
2
. n a span of ten years , settlements grew to 600 and
above persons/km

the province. t extends to the Municipality of Oton in the south, Pavia
and San Miguel in the central part and Leganes in the northeastern
part. n the north, Estancia has the highest
21
22
density and has influenced on its surrounding municipalites especially
Balasan. This is because of its small geographical size and being the
center of commerce and trade in the north.
2.2.3 Growth Rate
For 2000-2007, the population growth rate of the Province of loilo is at
1.32 percent , is lower than the country's 2.04 percent and is 0.03
percent lower than the Western Visayas' 1.35 percent. A total of nine
cities/municipalities including loilo City has increased their population
growth rates compared to the previous 1990-2000 period. These
municipalities are Badiangan, Cabatuan, Dingle, Dumangas, Lemery,
Oton, Pototan and San Miguel. The rest of the municipalities showed a
decrease in their population growth rates from year 2000 to 2007. The
following municipalities exhibited increased in APGR.
City/Municipality 1990-2000 2000-2007
Badiangan 0.10 1.41
Cabatuan 1.17 1.47
Dingle 0.79 0.91
Dumangas 1.21 1.57
Oton 2.29 2.48
Pototan 1.25 1.44
San Miguel 1.66 1.98
loilo City 1.69 1.95
Municipalities with annual population growth rates higher than the
provincial average rate of 1.32percent, are Badiangan, Cabatuan,
Dumangas, Estancia, Leganes, Oton, Pavia, Pototan, San Dionisio,
San Miguel, Sta. Barbara and Zarraga.
A total of nineteen municipalities have high population density (Annex
1) . They have population density of 450ppkm
2
to 600 persons/km
2
and over 600persons/km
2
, but only thirteen of these municipalities are
fast growing municipalities. Densely populated and fast growing
municipalities are Estancia with 1238 persons/km
2
, Pavia with 1122
persons/km
2
, San Miguel with 1112 persons/km
2
, Oton with 917
23
persons/km
2
and Tigbauan with 900 persons/km
2
. Other municipalities
include Leganes, Cabatuan, Sta. Barbara, Guimbal, Miag-ao, Pototan,
Balasan and Dumangas. The growth of these areas are brought about
by its unique natural and physical characteristics such as location,
population growth, infrastructure support, investment opportunities and
economic activities.
Estancia's high density is attributed to its small geographical size but
the buoyant fishing industry serves as magnet for people to come and
settle to the area. While Estancia does not have a wide fishing
ground, but it serves as a fish trading center due to its strategic location
and presence of port facilities, cold storage and fish market. t is the
commercial center in northern loilo influencing the towns of Balasan
and Carles. These towns are densely populated but they have slow
population growth.
Pavia, San Miguel, Leganes and Oton dense population and fast
population growth rate are attributed to the spill over effect of the City
of loilo. Municipalities are ideal areas to accommodate residential,
commercial and industrial spill over of the city.
Cabatuan and Sta. Barbara attributes their dense population and fast
growth to the presence of jobs and economic opportunities, being the
site of the New loilo Airport.
Miag-ao plays a significant role in the development of the province.
Anchored on the University of the Philippines in the Visayas (UPV),
Miag-ao has become a center for fishery education attracting students
mainly in the Visayas and Mindanao areas. t also boasts its natural
historical attraction, the Miagao church, and varied economic activities
such as fish processing and salt making, patadyong and hablon
weaving, and other natural tourist attraction.
24
Other densely populated and fast growing municipalities accredit the
presence of tertiary education, health facilities and commercial centers.
Livestock, poultry and vegetables are the major agricultural
contributions of these municipalities. Economic mobility is favored in
this area, because of its good farm to market roads. Also, it may be
due to the small geographical size of the municipality vis--vis its
population.
Low population density municipalities are those whose density is below
300 persons/km
2
. However, Janiuay, Lambunao, Passi City, Calinog
and Sara though low dense, can be qualified also as fast growing
municipalities. These municipalities could be described as
economically vibrant and competitive with increasing but manageable
environmental pressure. These municipalities have large geographical
size vis--vis their population.
Passi City is seen as a fast emerging growth center. Since its creation
as component city, its population has increased, and other amenities
such as banks, private institutions, commercial buildings/centers,
housing and other social facilities have continued to proliferate.
nfrastructure facilities, such a roads and bridges, have become the
priority of the local government to be developed and maintained. The
major products of Passi City and nearby towns are sugarcane and
other cash crops. Passi City has good market facilities that can
accommodate agricultural products for household consumption as well
as product trading in bulk to nearby towns and provinces of Aklan and
Capiz.
Janiuay, Lambunao and Calinog are emerging growth centers with the
presence of district hospitals, tertiary education services and full range
of convenience shops. Sara is also considered as fast growing
because it is the convergence point of surrounding municipalities of
Ajuy, Concepcion, San Dionisio and Lemery. t has bus and jeepney
terminal, banking services, and brisk commerce and trade.
25
The rest of the municipalities have slow growth because of limited
economic competitiveness and limited environmental pressure.
Bingawan has the slowest growth of 0.47 percent followed by Dueas,
Ajuy and Leon.
Given the current growth rate , the estimated total population and
overall density at the end of the plan period (2013) of the province are
2,264,932 and 485 persons/km
2
. Additional population of 339,930 or
an average of 48,561 persons per year.

2.2.4 Other Characteristics
Urban and RuraI Distribution. Urbanization is defined as the
growth in the proportion of a population living in urban areas when
there is development. The Province of loilo has 36.57percent
urbanization level.
Except for loilo City, a highly urbanized city, Pavia has the highest
urbanization level of 96.25percent which means that almost all
barangays in the municipality have a population density of more
than 500 persons/km
2
. This is attributed to the geographical
location being adjacent to the city resulting to population spill
over and the in-migration caused by various residential subdivision
projects and presence of manufacturing establishments in the
municipality. Barangays with high growth rates have residential
subdivisions in their locality with high percentage of occupancy.
Most of the municipalities, because of the limited area in their
poblaciones, have expanded their area by extending to the
neighboring barangays to accommodate the economic
opportunities and in-migration from other barangays.
Estancia, a densely populated municipality has added five more
barangays to their existing poblacion, so with the municipalities of
San Miguel, Leganes, and Oton, among others.
Passi City has added six more barangays to the existing and
approved urban land use plan to give way to its future
development, to make it a total of 13 barangays. Total urban area
is 3,316.44 hectares. The expected growth of population is
anticipated to increase because of the introduction of business and
commercial development in the municipality.
29
Leganes has extended its urban areas in barangays surrounding
the poblacion to accommodate the spill over of loilo City and
perhaps in preparation to the future 177 hectare industrial growth
center being developed by PEZA. t will accommodate small repair
shops to large industrial facilities while maintaining sufficient land
for agricultural production.
San Miguel, on the other hand, attributes its additional urban area
because of industrial and commercial activities and the presence of
mixed use development in their land uses. However, it will
preserve most of its agricultural land because of its wide irrigated
area for rice production.
While most of the municipalities are gearing towards urbanization,
there deferred growth in some of the areas to preserve the
agricultural areas from rapid conversion to urban uses and to
ensure ample food supply for the province.
Migration Patterns. Migration as defined by NCSO , is the
movement to take up residence in a specific geographic area of
individuals who have been previously residing outside the area.
A total of 10,482 was registered as migrants in the province of loilo
in the year 2007. They either migrate from one municipality to
another within the province, from other provinces within the country
and from other countries. A total of 5,581 or 53.24 percent
individuals in migrated from one municipality to other within the
province, 45.72 percent or 4,792 individuals migrated to the
province coming from other parts of the country while 1.04 percent
of 109 individuals migrated from other countries to the
province.(Annex 3)
30
Among the reasons cited for in-migration is economic (employment,
transfer of work, livelihood opportunities or to be near the
workplace). Other reasons are due to marriage, conflicts with
neighbors or family, relocation of boundaries, transfer of
residences, hazardous location of house or some were ejected
from place of residence.
A total of 49.55 percent or 3,277 individuals outmigrated within the
province transferring from one municipality to another. Out-
migration within the country, that is transfer from the province to
other parts of the country totaled to 3,072 individuals or 46.45
percent and 4.01 percent or 265 individual outmigrated outside the
country.
Reasons for out migration are almost the same as in migration.
loilo has an in-migration rate of 3.31 percent and out-migration rate
of 2.25 percent. This gives a net migration rate of 1.06 percent or 1
person in a 1,000 population. This means that the province is an
in-migration area since there are more people arriving to establish
permanent residence in the province compared to those departing
to other places.
PopuIation By Ethnicity. Ethnicity refers to shared cultural
practices, perspectives, and distinctions that set apart one group of
people from another. That is, ethnicity is a shared cultural heritage.
The most common characteristics distinguishing various ethnic
groups are ancestry, a sense of history, language, religion, and
forms of dress. Ethnic differences are not inherited; they are
learned.
Basing on the census year 2000, 72.29percent of the total
household population of the province of loilo are of
31
Hiligaynon/longgo by ethnic origin. The rest belong to other
ethnics such as Karay-a, Kiniray-a, etc. .
2.3 Existing SettIement Pattern:
2.3.1. Existing Hierarchy of SettIements, SpatiaI Strategies
The Regional Center of Western Visayas is loilo City. Pavia, Oton,
San Miguel and Leganes and loilo City have agreed to form an
alliance to address urbanization, economic growth, environmental
concerns and issues. The alliance municipalities playing its own
roles as agro-industrial center for Pavia, center for agriculture and
light to heavy industries for Leganes, as the agricultural basket for
San Miguel and as a residential area for Oton. The Province of
Guimaras also joined the alliance because of its proximity to loilo
City and its potential in eco-tourism. Lately, Sta. Barbara being the
gateway to the New loilo Airport has manifested its interest to join
the alliance. Sta. Barbara will be the center for agriculture and
heritage tourism. The alliance is now known as the Metro loilo
Guimaras Economic Development Council (MGEDC). Satellite
municipalities include Zarraga, New Lucena, Cabatuan, Maasin,
Alimodian, Leon and Tigbauan.
Minor urban centers were also identified such as Miag-ao,
Dumangas, Barotac Viejo, Sara, Estancia, Janiuay, Pototan and
Passi City. Miag-ao , the center for commerce and trade in the
southern part of loilo and gateway to Antique and other major
tourist spots has Guimbal, gbaras, San Joaquin and Tubungan as
its satellite municipalities. Dumangas satellite municipalities are
Barotac Nuevo and Anilao, while Barotac Viejo's satellite are
Banate and San Rafael. Sara is the convergence point and
training center of the municipalities of Concepcion, Lemery, San
Dionisio and Ajuy. Estancia, the center for fish trading in loilo and
32
a commercial center in the north has Carles, Balasan and Batad as
its satellite municipalities. Minor urban centers such as Janiuay
and Pototan have satellite municipalities surrounding the area.
Passi City has San Enrique, Dueas and Dingle as satellite
municipalities.
2.3.2 ScaIogram
loilo City is the most functionally complex with centrality index of
273.50. loilo City is the center for governance, residential,
commercial, and financial and educational activities for Region V.
t offers the most important services such as tertiary hospitals,
international port, hotels, commercial business districts, colleges,
universities and tourism facilities. Pototan and Passi City, on the
other hand, have also high centrality
33
34
35
indices because of the presence of the rehabilitation center and
provincial hospital in Pototan and the presence of sugar central in
Passi City. Both areas have brisk commerce and trading activities,
presence of agriculture production areas, various livelihood
undertakings and trucking services. Facilities such as
communication and power facilities, markets and commercial
centers, irrigation water facilities and transport facilities are factors
that influence the growth of the municipalities.
Miag-ao's high centrality index is attributed to the presence of
University of the Philippines in Visayas, commerce and trade center
in the southern part of loilo and the gateway to Antique and even to
Boracay sland. Other factors that influenced its growth is the
presence of key services and infrastructures such as banks,
communication, power, water facilities and roads.
On the other hand, Cabatuan high centrality index is mainly
because it is the site of the New loilo Airport. Estancia's pier and
port facilities have greatly contributed in having its high centrality
index.
The rest of the municipalities though well provided with basic
facilities such as health centers, rural banks, water supply, district
hospitals, social welfare institutions, tourist attractions, etc., but
centrality indices for these municipalities are just fair.
2.3.3 Existing SettIement Pattern based on Histogram
Based on the histogram, population for the year 2007, only loilo
City has a population of < 100,000. loilo City is the only highy
urbanized city in the province. t is the provincial capital of the
province and the seat of regional offices of the national
36
government. t is the education and commercial hub of Region V.
(Annexes 8 and 9)
Large towns such as Oton, Passi City, Pototan, Miag-ao, and Sta.
Barbara are municipalities with population over 50,000 are also the
municipalities with high centrality index based on the scalogram.
Population swell in these municipalities because of the presence of
tertiary facilities in health and education, presence of basic facilities
for commerce and industry and presence of subdivisions which
accommodate additional households in the area.
Small towns such as Pavia, Guimbal, Estancia and Concepcion are
municipalities with a population less than 50,000 . Factors
influencing their growth are the presence of facilities for basic
health services, leisure and recreational facilities, training and
commercial centers and the presence of educational facilities.
Although some municipalities have tertiary facilities and services,
they were not classified as such because of the population which is
less than 50,000 Population plays an important role when you
classify settlements based on histogram.
2.4 SUMMARY
2.4.1 PopuIation, Density, PopuIation Growth Rate.
As of 2007 census, loilo Province has a population of 2,110,588. t
ranks second in terms of population among the provinces in
Western Visayas or Region V. t has a density of 447persons/km
2
.
, the highest among the provinces in the region. loilo's density is
higher than the regional density of 338 persons/km
2
and the
country's density of 301 persons/km
2
.
37
The Province of loilo has an annual population growth rate of
1.32percent for the year 2007. t ranks third in terms of population
growth rate after Negros Occidental and Aklan. t is lower than the
regions' 1.40percent and much lower than the country's
2.04percent.
loilo's population is projected to increase to 2,264,932 or an
additional of 339,930 persons at the end of the planning period of
2013. Density is estimated to increase to 480 persons/km
2
.
2.4.2 PopuIation Distribution Trends
There are 13 fast growing municipalities in the Province of loilo.
Leganes, Oton, San Miguel, Sta. Barbara, and Pavia are the
municipalities adjacent to the city of loilo. These municipalities
formed an alliance to address urbanization, economic growth,
environmental concerns and issues in service delivery which is a
common to these municipalities and the City of loilo.
Estancia attributes its fast growing population to its buoyant fishing
industry which serves as a magnet for people to come and settle to
the area. Balasan on the other hand, accommodates the spill over
of Estancia.
Cabatuan fast growing population is attributed to its being the site
of the New loilo airport.
Guimbal, Miag-ao, Pototan and Dumangas growing population is
because of the presence of tertiary facilities such as sports and
recreational facilities in Guimbal, University of the Philippines in
Miag-ao, presence of loilo Provincial Hospital and Rehabilitation
center in Pototan and port facilities in Dumangas.
38
The municipality of Oton has the highest population of 77,621 in
year 2007, sharing 3.68 percent of the total provincial population.
This is followed by Passi City with 3.60 percent , Pototan with 3.20
percent, then Lambunao and Dumangas. Bingawas has the
smallest share, with a population of 12,259 or 0.58 percent of the
entire population.
The province has strong linkages to all provinces comprising the
Region V ( Guimaras, Negros Occidental, Antique, Capiz and
Aklan), Cebu, Palawan and Manila wherein a daily/regular
transportation (sea, air and land) to and from loilo. loilo serves
as the seat of the regional offices of the national government. t
also serves as the education and commercial hub of region V.
Given the current trends, loilo Province will have a total population
of 2,661,439 or an additional population of 550,851 by year 2030.
Municipalities adjacent to the city of loilo will still be the regional
center (Oton, Pavia, San Miguel, Leganes and Sta. Barbara) for
education, commerce and culture. On the other hand, Cabatuan, a
satellite municipality in 2010 will eventually be one of the major
urban centers of the province because of the presence of the
airport with international standard. Designated minor urban centers
for the period 2004-2010 will still continue to thrive as they are
except for Estancia and Passi City who will eventually be elevated
as a major urban center. (Refer to Annex 10)

3. PHYSICAL RESOURCES
3.1 GeneraI Land and Water Characteristics and resources
3.1.1 Topography and SIope
The topography of the Province of loilo varies from flatlands and
rolling hills to mountain peaks and ranges. The mountain ranges lie
along the border of loilo, Antique and Capiz, and roll down into flat
plain towards the coastal towns.
Almost one-third of the entire province is considered flat. A chain of
mountains runs from the southwest to the northwest portion along
the border between loilo and Antique. The highest peak of Mt.
Baloy in Lambunao is 1,728 meter above sea level, followed by Mt.
naman in Maasin at 1,350 meter above sea level and Mt. gdalig in
gbaras at 1,288 meter above sea level. A belt of hills with varying
heights from 90 to 100 meters above the sea level is found in the
greater part of the northeastern section of the province bordering
Capiz. From the ranges of mountains and hills, the land rolls down
into a flat plain extending all the way from the apex of a triangular-
shaped land towards the coastal towns.
The province of loilo accounts for the biggest share of 0-3 percent
slope class with 32 percent of its total land area that is generally
flat, while the Province of Antique has the lowest share of 18.45
percent of these slope.
A total of 151,020.80 hectares or 32 percent of the province of loilo
has a slope of 0 percent-3 percent. Almost all of the areas of San
Miguel, Oton, Pavia, Leganes, Zarraga, Dumangas, Barotac Nuevo
and Estancia are generally flat, while large portions of the
municipalities of Pototan, Dingle, Mina, Sta. Barbara, Balasan,
Carles, Sara, Ajuy, Btac. Viejo, Banate and Anilao has 0-3 percent
40
slope. Slope could also be found in some areas of the remaining
municipalities of the province. Slope 3-8percent ( sloping and
undulating) could be found in most areas of the province with large
portions in Leon and San Enrique. A total of 42,474 hectares or
9percent of the total provincial area has a slope of this category.
Large portion of 8-18 percent slope ( 70,791 hectares or 15
percent) are located in the municipalities of Cabatuan, Badiangan,
Janiuay, Dueas and the island barangays of Concepcion. Large
portions of slope 18 percent 30 percent could be found in most of
the municipalities so with slope 30-50percent. Large portions of the
municipalities of Calinog, Lambunao, Janiuay, Maasin, Alimodian,
Leon, Tubungan, gbaras, Miag-ao, San Joaquin and the island
barangays of San Dionisio have slope greater than 50 percent .

3.1.2 Land and Water Resources
3.1.2.1 Land Resources
Aside from the mainland, the Province of loilo has a total of 66
islands mostly situated in the northern part with a total area of
9,013.50 hectares representing 1.91percent of the total land area
of the province. More than half of these islands are classified as
alienable and disposable, while the remaining are classified either
as timberlands or unclassified land.
The Municipality of Carles has 29 islands with Calagna-an sland
as the biggest in terms of area. Seaweed culture farming is
suitable in this island, as well as the islands of Sicogon, sla de
Caa, Manlot, Balbagon, and Gigantes. Most of these islands are
famous for their tourism potentials. Gigantes slands is identified by
the National Museum as archaeological sites, due to the discovery
of abundant archeological materials, notably earthenware ceramics
that are typically of metal age. The majestic Mt. Opao in Sicogon
sland is home to the legendary pitcher plant precariously rooted in
cliff while forest is home to the bald eagle. A number of narra and
naga trees is doting the area. Balbagon sland is best described for
its creamy beach fanned by coconut palms and crystalline water,
while Naburot sland is blessed with long stretch of white sandy
beach with thicket of mangroves.
The Municipality of Concepcion , has 17 islands whose total land
area comprised 40percent of the entire municipality. Pan de
Azucar is the largest while Bocot is the smallest island. Some of
these islands are submerged during high tide. The nearest island
to the mainland is Tago sland while the farthest is Baliguian sland,
which is 25 km from the mainland. Pan de Azucar seascape is a
natural and prominent landmark famous for its Herculean cone-
43
shaped structure made of dacite porphyry rocks where mossy
plants abundantly grow. Biological features of the area includes the
Phil. monkey, sea eagle and Phil. megapodes. There is an
abundance of mangroves at Sitio Banaban that is considered as
the habitat of Phil. mallards, seaweeds and seagrasses are
enormous particularly in shallow waters, which are considered as
haven of tropical fishes. Tago island, a stone's throw away from
the town proper of Concepcion, and one of the biggest islands
remains uninhabited. Historically, it was the sanctuary of the
guerillas during the Japanese occupation. t is a crop-producing
island, and home to wild monkeys and rare flora and fauna.
Tagubanhan sland considered one of the most populous islands
has five barangays; three of which belongs to Concepcion and the
other two belongs to Ajuy.
Ajuy has seven small islands. Calabasa sland, classified as
timberland area, is the site of "Parola Lighthouse, which is
equipped with navigational facilities to aid maritime navigation
ships, fishing boats and cargo boats passing though that area.
Nasidman sland, a tourist area is classified as alienable and
disposable area.
Estancia has six islands with Bayas as the largest at 70.40
hectares. and the smallest is Bolubadiang with has an area of only
4,000 m
2
. Balasan on the other hand has four islands with
Malugambi as the largest at 20.80 hectares . However, two islands
are yet unnamed and unclassified. Of the three islands in San
Dionisio only Naburot sland is alienable and disposable, while the
two others are unclassified.

3.1.2.2 Water Resources
About 159 rivers and creeks traverse the entire province and these
are identified as possible sources of potable and irrigation water.
Major rivers that provide water for both irrigation and potable use
are Jalaur River, Suague River, Tigum River, Aganan River,
Serruco River, Jaro River and loilo Estuary or River .
InIand Surface Waters
Tigum River originates from Mt. naman located at the loilo-
Antique border. t traverses the municipalities of Maasin, Cabatuan
and Sta. Barbara; until its downstream area (Pavia to its mouth in
Brgy Hinactacan, Lapaz, loilo City) called Jaro River. Aganan
River, on the other hand, traverses the municipalities of Alimodian,
San Miguel, part of Sta. Barbara and finally join Jaro River in Brgy.
Ungka , Pavia. The Jaro Tigum River is the principal river
channel while Aganan River is its major tributary. Jaro-Tigum has
an approximate length of 35 km from its source down to its mouth
at Brgy. Hinactacan, Lapaz, loilo City; while Aganan River has an
approximate length of 20 km from its source down to its confluence
with Jaro-Tigum River in Pavia Bridge, Pavia, loilo.
JaIaur River originates from Mount Baloy, and traverses the
municipalities of Calinog, Passi, Dueas, Dingle, Pototan,
Dumangas and Btac. Nuevo; down to Brgy. Guigui, Leganes, loilo
where it empties its water to Guimaras Strait. Jalaur River has an
approximate length of 75 km from its sources down to its mouth in
Brgy. Guigui, Leganes. t has several tributaries but only Ulian
River is considered as its major tributary with an approximate
length of 30 km from its source down to its confluence with Jalaur
River in Brgy. Tolarucan, Janiuay, loilo.
45
Aganan River is one of the major tributaries of Jaro River and it
stretches to an approximate length of 66.6 km from its source down
to its confluence with Tigum River in Pavia Bridge, Pavia, loilo.
The river traverses the areas in Alimodian, San Miguel, portions of
Sta. Barbara and Pavia, loilo. There are times that swelling of the
Aganan River brings flood waters to the city, even before water
reaches the Jaro River. Catchment area of Aganan River is 216.52
km
2
Suague River is located in the central part of loilo, with its
headwater in Janiuay. This river covers 26,028 ha of 108
barangays . in six municipalities within its river basin namely
Janiuay, Maasin, Badiangan, Pototan, Mina and New Lucena. t
has two service areas namely, Barotac Nuevo and Dumangas.
Jaro River is a convergence of Tigum River and Aganan River with
its mouth at Brgy. Hinactacan, Lapaz, loilo City. t traverses the
22 barangays of loilo City and empties the water to the loilo Strait.
During flooding, the swelling of waters brings flood water and
destruction of properties to the City of loilo. From the junction of
Tigum Aganan Rivers to loilo Strait, Jaro River stretches an
approximate length of 10.4 km with a catchment area of 14.28 km
2
.
Serruco River is a waterway in the municipalities of Sara and Ajuy.
t originates from the mountain ranges of Brgy. Agbobolo and Brgy.
Mata in the Municipality of Sara. The length of the river is
approximately 14 kms. from Brgy. mprogo and cuts across the
basin northeasterly direction. ts uppermost stream at Brgy.
mprogo is traversing through forest and marginal lands and flows
down to Sitio Tapulanga, Brgy. Puente Bunglas, Ajuy before its
ultimate discharge to Ajuy Bay. The river has no major tributary but
a number of small rills and brooks, rain runoffs that passes thru
natural drainage which empties directly in the upstream and
46
midstream of the river serves as itsa tributaries. One of the most
important uses of Serruco River is to supply water for irrigation
purposes. The river is also being used for domestic purposes such
as bathing and washing of clothes.
IIoiIo Estuary/ River is not actually a river but an arm of the sea
which stretches about 10 km. from its mouth in Parola up to its
sources in Arevalo, loilo City. The loilo river is an important
inland waterway for commerce and industry. t serves as a
waterway for cargo vessels, scenic points of interest for tourism,
and a great transportation network through the heart of some
densely populated and economically important areas and
commercial centers of the province. loilo River has no watershed
of its own. However, the bulk of its water is sourced mainly from its
two major tributaries (Calajunan Creek and Dungon Creek), runoff
from nearby agricultural lands, and inundation of seawater from
loilo Strait.
CoastaI Marine Waters
The coastlines of the province of loilo is approximately 451.83
kilometers. There are 19 coastal municipalities in the province
namely: San Joaquin, Miag-ao, Guimbal, Tigbauan, Oton, Leganes,
Ajuy, San Dionisio, Zarraga, Dumangas, Barotac Nuevo, Barotac
Viejo, Carles, Banate, Batad, Anilao, Balasan, Concepcion, and
Estancia covering a total of 230 coastal barangays.
Seagrasses can be found in the municipalities of San Joaquin,
Miag-ao, Leganes, Banate, Btac. Viejo, Concepcion, san Dionisio
and Carles. Corals and coral reefs can be also found in San
Joaquin, Miag-ao, Carles, Estancia, Concepcion, Btac. Viejo and
Banate.
47
Banate Bay is one of the rich fishing grounds in the province.
Covering a total of 1,315 hectares of fishing ground, it is located in
the municipalities of Barotac Nuevo, Banate, Anilao and Barotac
Viejo covering a total of 22 barangays. Floral resources of the
mangrove ecosystem can be found in this coastal municipalities
with 17 species thriving in these area. Patches of seaweeds and
sea grass can be found distributed along the coastal municipalities.
San Joaquin seascape is located at the southern part of the
Province of loilo specifically located along the coastal area of the
Municipality of San Joaquin. Coastal barangays bordering the
seascape are Catagan, gcondao, gcadlum, Lawigan and
Sinogbuhan with an aggregate area of 1,772.82 hectares. The
seascape is a potential place for the spawning of fish such as tuna,
blue marlin, lapu-lapu and other seasonal fishes. Fresh vegetation
is mostly shrubs and bushes with patches of naturally growing tree
species.
The Visayan Sea which covers seven municipalities in the northern
part of the province that includes Balasan, Estancia, Batad, Ajuy,
Concepcion, San Dionisio and Carles, is one of the biggest and
most productive fishing grounds in the country. The Philippine
Fisheries Profile of 1999 notes that Visayan Sea ranks first in terms
of commercial fisheries and third in terms of municipal fishing. The
diversity of its resources has drawn various activities in the Visayan
Sea resulting to the decline in the fishery productivity due to
unabated exploitation. nterventions are now being made to
empower the different stakeholders to sustainably manage their
resources based on local initiatives.
Water Bodies According to BeneficiaI Use
The uppermost stream at the Maasin Dam of Jaro-Tigum-Aganan
River is officially classified as Class A, being a source of drinking
48
water; while the rest (midstream down to its mouth) is officially
classified as Class C. This rivers is recipient of discharges from
piggery, poultry dressing plant, paper mill, domestic waste from
urban centers where it traverses and agricultural run-off from
nearby agricultural field. t is also a source of irrigation water to
rice fields.
The Metro loilo Water District (MWD) maintains the dam at Brgy.
Daja in the Municipality of Maasin and the pumping stations at
Brgy. Ungka, Pavia. The MWD extracts its water supply from
Tigum River through an intake dam in Brgy. Daja, Maasin with a
capacity of about 10,936,618 cubic meters. Augmenting its
surface water source at Maasin, MWD has groundwater sources in
the barangays of Oton, Pavia and San Miguel. t has a capacity of
3,583,404 m
3
A study of JCA (PW4SP, August 2000), showed that deep well
areas cover approximately 75percent of the province and widely
distributed in the central part of the province. The deep well area is
composed of alluvial plain and low hills made of sedimentary rocks.
Considering its geological formation, the loilo plain, is categorized
as a high potential area for deep well development. Eastern rolling
hills including small alluvial plains and the northern portion are
classified as a low yielding area.
About 25percent of the province are classified as the difficult area
to exploit groundwater, in which the mountain range and rolling hills
areas exist. These are located in the western and eastern portions
of the province. Groundwater occurs only in fissures or fault
fracture zones.
Potential surface water volume are exploitable for domestic use in
municipalities situated in the Jalaur, Jaro and Sibalom river basins.
The province has significant number of springs which are being
49
utilized for domestic purposes. Such spring sources come out from
the mountain range and rolling hills area in the western and eastern
parts of the province.
The JaIaur River Watershed Reservervation covers a total area
of 9,930 hectares, in the municipalities of Calinog and Lambunao
and was proclaimed under Presidential Proclamation No. 601 dated
June 28, 1990. t supplies irrigation water on the central part of the
Province of loilo. The Jalaur River is the main source of water
supply most especially for irrigation purposes. This river is one of
the biggest in terms of source volume in the whole Panay sland.
For potable water, there is one pumping station at Barangay Bo.
Calinog as its main source and one back-up pumping station at
Barangay Simsiman along the Jalaur River.
The Maasin Watershed Forest Reserve, covers a total area of
6,775.68 hectares, situated in the 17 barangays of the
municipalities of Maasin, Alimodian and Janiuay and was
proclaimed as a watershed forest reserves pursuant to Presidential
Proclamation No. 820 dated October 25, 1991. The Maasin
Watershed Forest Reservation which forms part of the Tigum-
Aganan River Basin is a dependable resource for both upland and
lowland communities. The upland communities cultivate farms
therein and collect forest resources. The lowland communities
benefit from the water supply, ecological functions and other
environmental services. As a watershed reservation, it supplies
potable water to the municipalities of Maasin, Cabatuan, Sta.
Barbara, Pavia, Leganes, Oton, San Miguel and loilo City through
the Metro loilo Water District.

3.1.3 GeoIogicaI Features
Types of SoiI Based on Genetic and MorphoIogicaI
Characteristics
There are 18 different types of soil in the Province of loilo based
on their genetic and morphological characteristics. Generally, the
province's soil is fertile which is suitable to most types of
agricultural crops. Predominance of loam classification makes it
conducive to farming. The different types of soil in the province is
classified based on their genetic and morphological characteristics.
Rock Types
The Mines and Geosciences Bureau has also identified two rock
types: sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks (plutonic/intrusive
igneous rocks and volcanic extrusive rocks). The most common
sedimentary rock is quaternary alluvium which could be found in
almost of the municipalities of the province. These consist of
unconsolidated deposits of sand and gravel along stream beds,
banks and on lowlands. Another is Cabatuan formation which
consist of gray to black, fossiliferous, thick bedded mudstone,
poorly bedded sandstone with occasional mudstone and coarse
grained sandstone.

3.1.4 MineraI Resources
MineraI Ore Reserves
loilo Province is rich in metallic and non-metallic mineral resources.
Mineral ore reserves can be found in some parts of the province.
Manganese can be found in Ajuy with 50,000 MT estimated
reserves and so with large quantity of aggregates. Ball clay can be
found in Lemery, while white clay can be found in Gigantes sland,
Carles and Balasan. Red burning clay can be found in the
municipalities of Sta. Barbara and San Miguel. A large quantity of
basalt and basalt/lava flow can be found in San Joaquin and
Banate. A small quantity of guano, limestone and phosphate rock
could be found in Dingle
PotentiaI MineraIs
The government promotes for the revitalization of the minerals
industry. The government believe on the potential of the minerals
sector to attract new investments, generate revenues for the
government and provide additional jobs and livelihood
opportunities. However, these should be anchored on the basic
principles of sustainable development. The Mines and Geosciences
Bureau, Region 6 has also identified potential minerals in the
following municipalities: Gold can be found in the municipalities of
Ajuy, Concepcion, Barotac Viejo, Dingle, Balasan, Lemery,
Janiuay, Carles and Sara. Copper, a metallic mineral can be mined
in Ajuy, Concepcion, Barotac Viejo, Dingle, Balasan and Sara,
while manganese can be found in the municipalities in Anilao, Sara,
San Dioniso and San Joaquin. ron can be found in Concepcion.
For non-metallic mineral, there is a potential supply of white clay in
the municipalities of Leon, Carles, Concepcion, San Dionisio,
Batad, Barotac Viejo, Ajuy and Estancia. Red burning clay can be
found in Ajuy, Leon, Oton, Sta. Barbara, San Miguel, Pototan,
53
Tigbauan and Cabatuan. Potential supply of limestone can be
found in Dingle, Passi City, Carles and Dumangas while guano and
phosphate rocks are abundant in Carles, Dingle, Passi City and
gbaras. Semi precious stones could be found in San Joaquin
while supply of black clay is found in San Dionisio, Balasan,
Alimodian, and Pavia and feldspar in Sara and Ajuy.
3.1.5 CIimate and RainfaII
loilo has two types of climate. The southern portion has two
pronounced season: dry from December to June, and wet from July
to November. Rains associated with the south-west monsoon
come as early as May, with July to September as the wettest
months. ts north-eastern part is relatively dry from November to
April, and wet the rest of the year. The mountain range running
north to south of Panay sland shields the north-eastern areas from
the south-west monsoon. November and December are the
54
wettest months, brought about by the prevailing north-east wind.
From November to January, tropical cyclones that develop in the
northwestern Pacific generally move westward, crossing the
province. These cyclones bring strong winds and intense rainfall
that oftentimes result to floods, causing loss of lives and destruction
of properties. Typhoons that pass the northern part of the country
during the southwest monsoon (June to September) or those that
form over the South China Sea enhance the prevailing southwest
wind flow, bringing monsoon rains over the province for prolonged
period of time.
The annual rainfall is 2,254.9 mm, while the average annual rainfall
for the past five years (2002-2006) is 1,710.50 mm.
Average annual relative humidity for the whole country is about
82percent. High values of relative humidity are usually observed at
night and early morning, and low values during the day and early
evening except when it is raining.
The tropical cyclone season is from June to December, with an
average monthly frequency of more than one tropical cyclone. July,
August and September have the most frequented tropical cyclone
occurrences with an average of three or more cyclones each
month. However, January to May is not entirely free from tropical
storms.

3.2 Land Use PotentiaIs and Constraints
3.2.1 Land CIassification
AIienabIe and DisposabIe Lands
Land of public domain is classified as alienable and disposable
lands and forestlands.
Section 3 ( c ) of Presidential Decree No. 705, dated May 19, 1975,
known as the Forestry Reform Code of the Philippines states that "
alienable and disposable lands (A & D) are those lands of the
public domain which are classified and determined not to be
needed for forest purposes and are available for disposition under
Commonwealth Act No. 141, as amended by the Public Land Act.
All of the lands on the 14 municipalities of the Province of loilo are
classified as alienable and disposable lands. These are the
municipalities of Guimbal, Oton, Tigbauan, Leganes, New Lucena,
Pavia, San Miguel, Sta. Barbara, Badiangan, Bingawan, Cabatuan,
Mina, Pototan and Dueas. No forestland is situated in these
municipalities.
Passi City, the only component city in the province, has the largest
A & D lands in terms of area at 21,754 hectares. This is followed

ForestIand
Forestlands are those lands of the public domain which have been
classified as such and declared as needed for forestry purposes.
Forestlands are areas which inherently produce more benefits and
give better service than when converted to agricultural lands or
other uses, such that, those lands are not to be titled. Forestlands
include production and protection forestlands.
The municipality with the largest forestland in terms of area is San
Joaquin at 15,594 hectares, followed by Calinog with 14,954.25
hectares, Lambunao with 8,545.50 hectares, Maasin with 6,980
hectares and gbaras with 5,584.00 hectares.
Zarraga, Estancia, Barotac Nuevo and loilo City have small
forestlands.
ndigenous areas are located in
Cabatangan/Agsirab/Panuran in Lambunao covering a total area of
5,225.65 under Proclamation No. RV-CADC-165 and in Sitios
Nagpana/Talingian/Cabugao and Balioan, longbukid and San

The Province of loilo has a total of 357,856.79 hectares of alienable
and disposable lands. A total of 159,407.98 hectares are being
cultivated to annual crops while 89,155.68 hectares are being
cultivated to perennial crops. The rest of the area are being covered
by shrubs, grassland, fishpond or built up areas.
Vegetative Cover Within the ForestIand
The Province of loilo has a total forest land area of 114,083.00
hectares all throughout the province. Certain areas are also planted to
exotic species of trees.
3. 2. 2 Land SuitabiIity
Land suitability is defined as the classification of land into categories
based on the degree to which the characteristics of the land can satisfy
the environmental requirements of specific crops without deterioration.
An example is rice which has high water requirements and most
varieties grow best in standing water; no other cereal crop will tolerate
waterlogging during its period of active growth. rrigated rice grows on
generally flat land with high to medium fertility level and not eroded.
These areas are also suitable for fishpond. Oton has the highest
suitability for irrigated rice and fishpond with 98% of this total land area.
Pavia , Barotac Nuevo, Leganes and Dumangas are municipalities
highly suitable for rice.
Slope 3-8percent, described as sloping to undulating with some areas
are level to gently sloping and with slight to moderate soil erosion and
with medium fertility level could be found in the municipalities of
Guimbal, Tigbauan, Oton, San Miguel, Sta. Barbara, Cabatuan,
Janiuay, Lambunao, Calinog, Badiangan, Passi City, Bingawan,
Dueas and Sara. These areas are suited for rainfed rice, corn,
mungo and peanuts.

Highly susceptible barangays are those which have the presence of
active and/or recent landslides, presence of numerous and large
tension cracks, areas with drainages that are prone to debris damming,
areas with numerous old landslides/escarpments, steep slopes,
presence of weak/rock slope materials, structures (joint, beds) dipping
towards the slope face, and nearness to faults. Fifteen of the 26
municipalities surveyed by MGB are highly susceptible to landslide. n

j. Areas prone to FIashfIood
A flash flood is a rapid flooding of geomorphic low-lying areas -
washes, rivers and streams. t is caused by heavy rain
associated with a thunderstorm, hurricane, or tropical storm.
Flash floods can also occur after the collapse of a human
structure, such as a dam, for example. Flash floods are
distinguished from a regular flood by a timescale less than six
hours
Flash flooding occurs when the ground becomes saturated with
water that has fallen too quickly to be absorbed. The runoff
collects in low-lying areas and rapidly flows downhill. Flash
floods most often occur in normally dry areas that have recently
received precipitation, but may be seen anywhere downstream
from the source of the precipitation - even dozens of miles from
the source.
69
Of the 27 municipalities assessed by MGB for geohazard,19
municipalities have the susceptibility to flashflood. Shown below
are the barangays that are susceptible to flashflood.

4. ECONOMY
4.1. Economic Structure
4.1.1 ExternaI Context of the LocaI Economy
Western Visayas contributed the fifth largest share to the country's
Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) for 2006. Western Visayas
recorded a total share of P396.8 billion at current prices or 6.58 percent
of the entire national economic production. The service sector
comprised 51 percent of the region's total economy while the industry
sector shared 29 percent and agriculture, fishery and forestry
accounted for 20 percent of the region's GRDP for 2006.
Relative to this, Table 11 and Figure 6 reveals that loilo ranked second
next to Negros Occidental in terms of the total family income. Negros
Occidental contributed 38 percent while loilo shared 35 percent
followed by Capiz with 10 percent of the region's total income
amounting to P114,428.38 billion.
On the other hand, Table 12 shows that other service industries topped
the biggest portion which is 39 percent of the total regional income. Out
of the 39 percent, Negros Occidental got the highest share of 16
percent while loilo had the second highest share of 13 percent and the
third was Capiz with 4 percent.
Meanwhile, not defined business/industries ranked second with 28
percent of the total regional income, wherein loilo obtained the highest
percentage of 12 percent, followed by Negros Occidental with 8
percent and Antique got the third place with 3 percent.
Furthermore, as shown in Table 12, Agriculture ranked third in terms of
the total regional income with 18 percent. Negros Occidental shared 9
percent, followed by loilo with 4 percent and Capiz with 2 percent.

4.2. PotentiaI for Contributing to LocaI Economic Growth
4.2.1. Economic Base Industries
ndustries that have high potentials for contributing to the economy of
the loilo are Agriculture (palay and corn), Livestock (swine), Fishery
and Tourism.
AgricuIture, Livestock and Fishery. loilo's economy is essentially
anchored on the agriculture, livestock and fishery sector. Forty four
percent of the employed persons in loilo or 329,014 are employed in
this sector. Most of these are farmers, fishermen and fishery sector.
AgricuIture. The Province of loilo known for its agricultural-based
products has been enjoying the over supply of rice for the past years.
The Department of Agriculture Region V revealed that as of June
2007, loilo ranks second among the highest rice-producing provinces
in the country. Rice production in the Province of loilo recorded an
increasing trend at an average of 21 percent growth annually. The
province posted a surplus of 325,297 metric tons of rice with a palay
sufficiency level of 165 percent in year 2007 as shown in the graph.
Total rice production in the Province of loilo in CY 2007 was pegged at
864,112 metric tons valued at Php10.4B, followed by the provinces of
Negros Occidental and Capiz with 413,906 metric tons and 303,879
metric tons, respectively. The 42 municipalities, 1 component city and
even the City of loilo contribute to this production. The highest 10 of
which are the municipalities of Dumangas, Pototan, Cabatuan, Barotac
Nuevo, Sara, Barotac Viejo, Dingle, Passi City, Lambunao and Sta.
Barbara. Total production in these municipalities accounted for
41percent of the total production of the province.
79
Corn production also accounts a large share in the economy of the
province. loilo ranks 1
st
in corn production in Rgeion V. For CY 2007
corn production in loilo was recorded at 148,408 metric tons valued at
P1.5B. Negros Occidental ranked second while Capiz ranked third in
terms of corn production with 63,239 metric tons and 42,054 metric
tons production, respectively. Top corn producing municipalities are
mostly located in the 5
th
district of the province as follows Sara, Batad,
San Dionisio, Lemery, and Ajuy. Other top producing municipalities are
Passi City, Leon and Alimodian. Production in these municipalities
totaled 41,232 MT contributing 28 percent of the total corn production
in the province. loilo accounts for 47 percent of the total corn
production in the region. Average production per unit area is 3.76
MT/hectare compared to the region's 2.74 MT/ha. The province is 70
percent sufficient in corn.
Livestock. Records showed that hogs (swine) also contribute large
shares in the economy of the Province of loilo. Hog industry in the
province is gaining more momentum. n the last quarter of CY 2007,
hog population reached 516,350 heads representing 35 percent of the
total regional hog population which is 1,477,500 heads valued at
approximately P3.3 B computed live weight, while Negros Occidental
and Capiz shared only 27 percent and 12 percent of the total hog
population of Western Visayas. Hogs are raised productively
throughout the province. The top hog producing municipalities are Sta.
Barbara, Oton, Lambunao, Guimbal, Passi City, Concepcion and
Banate representing 37 percent of the total hog population.
Fishery. Fishery Sector is also one of the sectors that account for large
shares in the economy of the Province of loilo. loilo's rich fishing
grounds placed the province as the region's top fish producing area
with an annual production of 128,618.06 MT in CY 2007 representing
31.5 percent of the region's production of 408,267.35 MT in the same
period. Production includes aquaculture, 26,794.91 MT, commercial
80
fisheries, 51,761.55 MT, marine, 72,315.83 MT and inland, 44,540.68
MT. Major coastal municipalities are Carles, Ajuy Anilao, Dumangas,
Concepcion and Estancia.
Another opportunity wwhich is an longgo resource and which the
longgo themselves can exploit is tilapia fish which grow very fast but
the market share of the Philippines is minuscule. f loilo is able to
address some of its concerns and obstacles in the agri-fishery sector,
loilo will be able to tap the growing market for tilapia.
Tourism. Another sector that account for large shares in the economy
of the Province of loilo is tourism. A quick review of the tourism
industry's performance shows that tourism is now the largest industry.
loilo's tourist arrival for 2007 totaled to 412,689 with a tourist receipts
amounting to P7.7 billion as shown in Annex 34. The province ranks
3
rd
next to Negros Occidental and Aklan in terms of tourist arrivals and
tourist receipts, which is 21 percent of the total tourist arrival and
receipts in Western Visayas in 2007.
The 2006 labor and employment data of NSO showed that roughly
109,000 persons were employed in the tourism industry.
4.2.2. LocaI EmpIoyment Growth
The province's total labor force population (15 years and over) for year
2006 totaled to approximately 1.373 million which is 30 percent of the
total labor force of the region.
The economic development of the province is basically anchored on
the agriculture sector because 44 percent of the labor force is in the
agriculture sector while 56 percent is in the services and industry
sectors.
81
On the average, employment rate of the province for CY 2006 was
recorded at 94.2 percent, 3.1 percent higher than CY 2004 and 0.5
percent higher than the region's employment rate with was pegged at
93.7 percent.
Looking at the historical trends from CY 2001 to 2006, employment
rate was increasing annually. This is an indication that the province's
economy is improving.
loilo has demographic dividend where the economy is now benefiting
from a very young population. The population ages 15-64 are
considered economically active. While other countries are facing a
prospect where their active labor force is fast depleting, loilo has a
very young and dynamic population that can still be expected in the
next seven to eight years. As far as the labor force is concern, there is
an ample supply to tap.
4.2.3 Competitiveness and Market Share
Tourism is one of the potential industries in loilo in terms of
competitiveness and market share. loilo's tourist destinations are
positioned to significantly contribute to the growing economic sphere in
this part o the country and the big advantage of loilo is that it is a
popular site for seminars, trainings and national conventions with its
location being at the heart of the country. This provides locators and
end-users a complete one stop tourism experience.
The main challenge for the province is how to attract a major portion of
the projected arrival to its boundaries despite of the bad image our
country has when it comes to safeguarding our foreign and local
visitors. Despite these constraints, loilo still faces a bright future for
tourism in the years to come. One reason would be that longgos are
friendly and hospitable people, an indigenous trait that easily attracts
82
tourist. Another reason is that loilo has a very rich cultural heritage.
But these are not the only reason why loilo is a sought-after tourist
destination.
Tourists want to see many things, activities and sites within their short
stay in the area and most of these tourists expect some degree of
comfort when they travel and therefore there is a need to develop
access to the sites. This takes in the form of infrastructures like airports
and ports, roads and bridges, etc. The need to keep in touch with their
loved ones or business associates necessitates the provision of
telecommunication facilities like direct dialing, faxes, e-mail, etc.
The construction of hotels, inns and other comfortable lodging places
equipped with clean and sanitary comfort rooms with running water is a
must. For people who spend their savings in occasional vacation, they
want the best that their money can buy. The cost for tourist-oriented
facilities is reasonable and recreational and entertainment facilities are
superb.
Another industry with potential in terms of competitiveness and market
share is agriculture, livestock and fishery. The Province of loilo is an
agri-business economy until now. loilo is an important supplier of
agricultural, livestock and fishery products to other places in the
country.
The Province of loilo is the top rice producing province in Region V
and even in the whole Visayas Region. t contributes 42 percent to the
total rice production in the region in CY 2007. Yield per hectare is also
the highest in the region at 3.39 MT/hectare compared to the regional
average of 3.32 MT/hectare.
The Province of loilo is an important supplier of hogs to other places
in the country. Hogs are raised profitably throughout the province.
83
loilo has very rich marine resources to meet the growing market for
fish products with the surging global demand for fish. The Province of
loilo has a total coastline of 806.44 kms and is gifted with a whole year
fishing season. Southern loilo experienced peak season during May
to October and lean season during June to September while Northern
loilo experienced peak season during March to November and lean
season during April to December.
Marine products had a remarkable share out of the toral export
performance of the previous in CY 2006. loilo got P12.691 millions out
of the marine products, which constituted 85 percent of the total export
performance in CY 2006.
4.2.4 PotentiaIs for LocaI Economic Growth
One of the prospect for the Province of loilo is on the tourism. loilo's
strength lies on its culture, location and natural beauty and identified a
lot of potential for tourism.
Tourism is a major engine for socio-economic development and
sustainability in the region and in the Province of loilo as well. Tourism
may be the best deterrent to the destruction and/or depletion of the
province's cultural resources. Proper tourism management and
program may provide a means for the local populace to recognize the
importance, significance and benefits that the host community may
gain from the region's cultural assets.
To attract tourists, there is no substitute to a good product and this
province has a very good product to show. These products are in the
form of historical sites, cultural events/festivals/fiestas, sceneries, and
natural formation such as beautiful caves, rivers and the like.
Presently, as noted by DOT, the province has a list of 29 historical
sites, 2 cultural sites, 1 industrial site and 9 natural sites, not
84
mentioning other attractions such as religious sites, man-made sites,
festivals, special interests and our native delicacies.
Beauty health and wellness tourism should also be considered as one
of loilo's business prospects. With the available doctors and health
professionals, loilo is capable of offering not only medical services but
beauty services as well, dermatology, etc.
Another strength of loilo is its agricultural land. loilo will remain as the
primary source of food for other regions considering that approximately
70% of its land is still devoted to agriculture. This strength should be
appreciated, given the fact that many regional centers in the
Philippines like Cavite, Laguna and Batangas are losing the arable
lands to development but loilo has managed to preserve the important
resource which is land devoted to agriculture. f loilo's vast agricultural
land can be fully harnessed, these can feed not only the longgos but
many of its neighbors.
Another prospect for loilo is on Agri-fishery sector. loilo is one of the
suppliers of agricultural, livestock and fishery products to other places
in the country. f the agri-business or the agricultural sector can be
harnessed, loilo will be able to bail out many longgos in the rural
areas where most of the poor are situated.
Developing countries like the Philippines account for 50 percent of
world fish exports and loilo got P12.691 million out of the marine
products, which constituted 85 percent of the total export performance
in CY 2006.
Lastly, since the province is 183 percent sufficient in pork, 135,940
heads were shipped to Manila, Cebu and other regions in 2007.
Recently, hogs are marketed in the form of "pork-in-a-box adding
value to the product and reducing transport cost and risk.
85
The above stated industries are some of the few prospects/potentials in
loilo for local economic growth.
4.3. LocaI Factors

between the competencies of available skilled manpower vis--vis
needs of the industry.

telecommunication sector. loilo has one of the most modern,
competitive and advanced telecommunication infrastructures in the
region today. With that, it gives a unique advantage over other
provinces. The beauty about nformation Technology (T) is its
available internet services which investors may not have to consider
physical limitations anymore. nvestors can continue to provide T

Port of Dumangas and 12.54 percent for the private ports.
92
From 2005 to 2007 disembarking passengers decreased in all ports:
98.34 percent for the Port of Estancia, 48.52 percent Port of Dumangas
and 36.31 percent for the Private Ports. Embarking passengers also
dropped in all ports except for the port of Dumangas where it increased
by 85.53 percent.
Buses traveling from Metro Manila to loilo and vice versa via Caticlan
Port under the Strong Republic Nautical Highway and other minor ports
contributed to the decreasing passenger traffic at loilo port.
5.1.2 Linkages And Or FaciIities That ShouId Be Given Highest Priority
for Improvement
The construction of the Leon-San Remegio Road is considered as
one of the most strategic inter-provincial links between Antique and
loilo province. Opening up the link is expected to introduce dynamic
exchanges between loilo and Antique, further boosting the access to
loilo nternational Airport located in Cabatuan.
The Strong RepubIic NauticaI Highway (SRNH) connecting the
islands of Luzon, Panay, Negros and Mindanao has greatly contributed
to the fast growing economy in the Visayas region. t has contributed to
much lower transportation cost for the riding public. The SRNH is an
intermodal transport system operated by Roll-on-Roll-Off facility linking
Mindanao via Roxas-Caticlan Route and Negros sland via loilo-
Bacolod Route. The concrete road consists of two sections, The loilo-
Roxas Road (Zarraga-visan Road Section 89.885km) and the
Caticlan-Kalibo-Aklan-Capiz Boundary (134.64 km). Road covers
preventive maintenance asphalt concrete overlay on its 2-lane
carriageway width of 6.7 meters. n support to the SRNH, a road
widening project is being planned. The proposed 163.70 km Panay
East-West Lateral Road connecting Valderrama, Antique-Lambunao-
Calinog-Passi-Concepcion, loilo will provide fast and reliable transport
system for the urban centers and depressed rural communities which
93
would consequently propel aquaculture and fisheries development,
promote tourism and urbanization, increase economic activities and
upgrade the standards of living within the road influence area.
Due to increase in population, there is a demand for an increase in
transportation facilities and this most likely will result to traffic
congestion. The presence of big buses plying from Manila to loilo vice
versa, local buses, public utility vehicles and private vehicles cause the
traffic congestion in a 12 meter road width. Hence, this will entail the
widening of major roads and bridges linking major towns and other
provinces.
A proposed Metro IIoiIo Road Network totaling 48.4 km which cost P3
billion was proposed to JCA, a foreign funding agency. These are:
C 1 The Metropolitan Circumferential Road from Arevalo
district running across Mandurriao and Jaro districts and
linking up to the existing coastal road in Bgy. Balabago.
C 2 - From Leganes to Oton cutting across Pavia and San
Miguel and Sta. Barbara.
C 3 - loilo-San Miguel-Sta. Barbara-New Lucena to Dumangas
Road
C 4 - Tigbauan, Bancal-Cabatuan-New Lucena to Dumangas
Road
- A total of 22.2 km By Pass Roads will be provided to
connect the proposed circumferential roads to the
existing ones.
- A total of 5 Radial Roads are expected to commence in
the Phase planning period of the Regional Framework
Plan. This includes road widening, repair and
rehabilitation of existing ones.
The Department of Transportation and Communication is presently
embarking on the establishment of a NationaI RaiIway System
94
spanning a distance of about five thousand kilometers connecting the
major cities and provinces in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. n Panay
sland, the proposed Trans Panay Express has a 117 km. line starting
from loilo City ending at Roxas City. The proposed project could
promote tourism, industrialization of the countryside and the
government's increasing agricultural activities in the rural areas.
A pre-feasibility study was undertaken for the proposed Trans-Visayas
Friendship Bridges which will connect the island provinces of Bohol to
Cebu, Bohol to Southern Leyte, Cebu to Negros Oriental, Negros
Occidental to loilo and loilo to Guimaras. The interconnection of
Western Visayas, Eastern and Central Visayas is to reduce the cost of
transporting products, people and tourists from one region to the other
as well as the cost of transmitting power and energy among the
provinces in the Visayas.

5.2 InternaI CircuIation
5.2.1 Description of InternaI CircuIation Routes
The provincial roads which are administratively managed by the loilo
Provincial Government augment the national roads as they provides
inter-district connections. They connect the municipalities within the
growth center, such as the municipalities of Oton, San Miguel, Pavia,
Sta. Barbara and Leganes. They also shorten routes between
municipalities and provide accessibility of the residents in various
barangays to the nearest market centers and tourist destinations.
Provincial road has a total road length of 671.829 km. From this total
road length concrete road is 70.679 km or 10.52 percent. The asphalt
portion measures to 8.23 km or 1.22 percent while the gravel part is
592.92 km or 88.25 percent of its total road length.
Comparative road condition by district, showed that the First
Engineering District of the province of loilo, composed of seven
municipalities has a total provincial road length of 74.634 km
comprising 11.115 percent of the total provincial road length. The
gravel road is 66.369 km or 88.92 percent and concrete road measures
8.265 km or 11.07 percent. Roads that are in fair conditions stretches
to 33.49 km or 4.87 percent and those in good conditions stretches to
41.144 km or 55.13 percent.
The Second Engineering District covering eight municipalities has a
total road length of 113.474 km that comprises 16.89 percent of the

percent, concrete road is estimated at 35.079 km or 30.91 percent and
the asphalt portion is 0.185 km or 0.16 percent. Roads in good
condition for this area reached 75.712 km or 66.72 percent while roads
in fair condition measured to a 37.762 km or 33.28 percent.
97
The Third Engineering District with nine municipalities has a total
road length of 120.673 km comprises 17.96 percent of the total
provincial road length. Concrete road is 9.087 km or 7.53 percent,
asphalt road is 2.218 km or 1.83 percent and gravel road is 109.368
km or 90.63percent percent of the total provincial road length. Roads
that are in fair condition are 88.188 km or 73.08 percent and roads that
are in good condition are 31.685 km or 26.25 percent.
The Fourth Engineering District is made up of eight municipalities
with a road length of 224.848 kilometers. There are 206.866 km or 92
percent gravel road, concrete road is estimated at 12.155 km or 5.40
percent and the asphalt road is 5.827 km or 2.59 percent. Roads that
are in good condition stretch to 93.85 km or 41.74 percent and roads in
fair condition is 130.998 km or 58.26 percent.
The Fifth Engineering District of loilo composed of ten municipalities
has a road length of 138.20 km or 20.57 percent of the total provincial
road length. Concrete road is estimated to 6.093 km or 4.41 percent
and gravel road totaled to 132.107 km or 95.59 percent. All roads are
in good condition.
ProvinciaI bridges have a total length of 1,584.81 m consisting of
RCDG bridges with a total length of 960.810 lm or 60.63 percent;
bailey bridge with 153.00 lm or 9.65 percent; steel deck bridge with
450.00 lm or 28.39 percent; and timber bridges with 21.00 lm or 1.325
percent.
MunicipaI roads aggregate to 287.2821 km of which 68.89 percent
are concrete roads, 4.96 percent are asphalt, 23.65 percent are gravel
and 1.14 percent are earth roads.
98
MunicipaI bridges consist of 742.91 lm. Concrete bridge - 625 lm
(84.14 percent), timber bridge 19.86 lm (2.67 percent), steel deck
bridge 97.93 lm (13.18 percent).
The total length of barangay road is 3,054.359 kilometers, 55.817 km
are concrete road or 1.82 percent, 16.050 km asphalt road or 0.52
percent , 2,015.163 gravel road or 65.98 percent and 887.725 km
earth road or 29.06 percent..
Carles is the farthest municipality from the City of loilo with a distance
of 147.6 km while Pavia is the nearest municipality with a distance of
9.6 km from loilo City. The Municipality of New Lucena has the highest
road density with 2.41 km/km
2
while the Municipality of Ajuy has the
least road density with 0.21 km/km
2
. The Province of loilo has an
average road density of 0.88 km/km
2
. Total road network (excluding
national roads) reached 4,013.4701 km which translates to 0.85 km of
road per square kilometer of land area.
5.2.2 Priority InternaI Routes and Linkages that Needs to be Improved
Maintaining the roads in good condition cannot be sustained due to
initial low design standards relative to traffic volume and axial loading
as well as inadequate maintenance. The Province of loilo has to
maintain 671.829 km of the provincial roads every year. There are
592.92 km of the provincial road that are gravel surface which need to
be maintained and concreted.
Due to the dilapidated condition of the old timber and bailey bridges,
which are vulnerable to damages by natural calamities, they were
converted into modular steel bridges under the Presidents Bridge
Program and the United Kingdom Financing Facility. Bridge
improvement could provide essential transport facilities in order to
increase the local population's access to basic services and economic
opportunities.
99
Municipal roads are mostly concrete but there are gravel roads and
earth roads. LGUs have to maintain the 67.949 km gravel road and
3.286 km earth road for they link to the barangay roads wherein most
produce are being transported from farm to the market in the urban
areas.
Most of the barangay roads in the different municipalities are passable
and are all weather roads but there are still some road sections that are
not passable during rainy days. Heavy trucks and jeepneys loading
agricultural products like sugar cane, palay and bananas, among
others, usually bring damage on the road surface hence barangay
roads should need constant maintenance to maintain their condition.
LGUs should maintain the 2,902.km barangay roads.
5.2.3 Proposed New Routes and Transport FaciIities
There are no proposed routes within the internal circulation however,
there are several projects listed below which are very crucial in the
development of the province.
a. Construction of secondary access road from the national
highway in Brgy. Tabucan airport complex to Brgy.
Duyan-duyan.
b. Concreting of loilo City-Caticlan Highway (Pototan-Capiz
Boundary)
c. Concreting of Parara-Jamog road, Tigbauan
d. Concreting of Leganes Pob. Lapayon Road, Leganes
Bus terminals were established along the boundaries of the city and
the municipalities. Northbound provincial buses and jeepneys have a
terminal at Bgy. Tagbak, Jaro, the south bound at Bgy. Mohon, Arevalo
and the central bound are at Bgy.Ungka, Jaro and Pavia. Only buses
and jeepneys with car pass can enter the city to minimize traffic. Passi
City, Sara and Estancia are municipalities with bus terminal

6. INCOME, EMPLOYMENT, SERVICE ACCESS AND POVERTY
6.1 EmpIoyment and UnempIoyment Rates
6.1.1 Latest EmpIoyment, UnempIoyment/UnderempIoyment Rates
The province's total labor force population (15 years and over) for year
2006 is 30 percent of the total labor force of the region which totaled to
approximately 1.373 million where 62 percent or 831,322 are in the
labor force.
loilo has demographic dividend where the economy is now benefiting
from a very young population. The population ages 15-64 are
considered economically active. While other countries are facing a
prospect where their active labor force is fast depleting, loilo has a
very young and dynamic population that can still be expected in the
next seven to eight years. As far as the labor force is concerned there
is an ample supply to tap in an economy that is evolving towards
services which is people centered.
The economic development of the province is basically anchored on
the agriculture sector because 43.6 percent of the labor force is in the
agriculture sector while 56.4 percent is in the services and industry
sectors.
On the average, employment rate for CY 2006 was recorded at 94.2
percent, 3.1 percent higher than CY 2004 and 0.5 percent higher than
the region's employment rate with was pegged at 93.7 percent.
On the other hand unemployment rate for year 2006 of the province
averaged at 5.8 percent, 3.1 percent lower than the unemployment rate
for the year 2004 and is 0.5 percent lower compared to the region's
unemployment rate.

6.1.2. HistoricaI Trends of EmpIoyment and UnempIoyment
Looking at the historical trends from CY 2000 to 2006, average
employment rate was increasing annually. This is an indication that the
province's economy is improving. The narrowing unemployment gives
sign that the province's economy will be improving in the succeeding
years.
6.2 FamiIy Income
6.2.1 Average FamiIy Income LeveIs
The CY 2000 results of the Family ncome and Expenditures Survey
(FES) revealed that the average family income of the families in the
Province of loilo for CY 2000 increased by 23.97 percent from P83,715
in CY 1997 to P110,114 in CY 2000. This is 0.47 percent greater than
the region's average income for CY 2000 of P109,600 and equivalent
to 76 percent of the country's average income of P145,121 in CY 2000.
Meanwhile, the region's average income increased by 2.66 percent
from P109,600 in CY 2000 to P112,593 in CY 2003 and this is 24
percent lower than the country's average income for CY 2003.
102
From the average income of P110,114, 80.14 percent was spent on
various expenditures such as food, clothing, education, transportation
and communications and other household operations. The remaining
19.86 percent of the income were kept as savings.

6.2.2 HistoricaI Trends of FamiIy Income
The historical trend of the average family income in the province is
increasing as shown in Table 17. This means that the purchasing
capacity of the families in loilo also increased.
103
6.3 SOCIAL SERVICES
6.3.1 HeaIth
HospitaI-Bed PopuIation Ratio. The health services come in two
components: the curative services and the preventive services. The
curative or hospital services under the loilo Provincial Government are
served by the 12 district hospitals and one provincial hospital, all
strategically located in the different municipalities. Another two
government owned facilities are located in the municipalities of New
Lucena and Barotac Nuevo. Located in the City of loilo, are six
privately owned hospitals, and two government owned hospitals. All
these hospitals have a total bed capacity of 2,448 for a hospital bed-
population ratio of 1:862. This indicates that loilo has adequate
hospital beds to serve its total populace. (Standard hospital bed-
population ratio is 1:1000).
The public health concerns are carried out by the 43 municipal rural
health units in each municipality and 427 barangay health stations
located in strategic barangays .
The latest record (2007) from the PHO, showed that there are a total of
53 municipal health officers spread in the 42 municipalities and 1 city of
the entire province, indicating a doctor-population ratio of 1:31,922
which is slightly below the standard ratio of :20,000 (1MHO/20,000
population). The doctor-population ratio of 1:16,726 in 2007 have met
the standard ratio but doctors were not equally distributed according to
capacity and occupancy rate patient-load of the hospital.
Percent of Infants with Iow birth weights. As of 2007, in every ten
babies born alive, there is one (1) underweight. The total number of
deliveries is 33,346. Among these live births, 93.88 weighed more
104
than 2.5 grams at birth, 4.68percent less than 2.5 grams at birth, while
1.44percent have unknown nutritional status.
n 2007, the province identified the top 10 municipalities who recorded
the highest infants or newborns with low birth weights. These are the
municipalities of Sta. Barbara, Miag-ao, Banate, San Joaquin, Pototan,
Dingle, Dumangas, San Dionisio,Passi City and Alimodian registering a
total of 1101. But Miag-ao and Banate have shown significant
performances in terms of drastically reducing the incidence to only
three.
Low birthweight newborns are brought about by multi-faceted
situations. The very significant ones are: accessibility to basic health
services, such as the family's geographical location, maternal health
and education, nutritional practices, family planning, low educational
attainment and income, availability of birthing centers or other delivery
services. The Municipality of Sta. Barbara has recorded with the
highest number of newborns with low birthweight, followed by
Dumangas and Dingle in 2007. Many factors have contributed because
of the poor health seeking behaviors of some pregnant women. Most
of them are undernourished while pregnant, instead they prefer to give
birth at home through traditional birth assistance and refused
themselves to undergo prenatal care.
Morbidity Rates. Upper respiratory tract infection is still the leading
cause of morbidity in the province as of 2007, as well as in the past five
years. A total of 46,934 cases were detected indicating a rate of 2,602
persons per 10,000 population. t is followed by pneumonia and lower
tract infection, hypertension, dog bites, diarrhea, wounds of all kinds,
influenza, TB respiratory, parasitism, status asthmaticus and urinary
tract infection in that order. Amazingly, dog bites are increasing yearly
and now ranked 4
th
in the list despite the aggressive program of the
public health on anti-rabies campaign. t was noted however, that
municipalities had been very lax in the enforcement of their ordinances
105
on preventing stray dogs to roam around. Other causes of morbidity
are poor nutritional status and poor environmental sanitation (such as
cleanliness, safe drinking water and toilet facilities).
n 2007, recorded deaths reached 8095. Average deaths computed at
4.49 in every 1,000 populaton lower than the national level which is
4.8. The leading causes of deaths is, with a rate of 113.07 cases per
10,000 population followed by heart disease, hypertensive vascular
diseases, cancer of all forms, and tuberculosis, septicemia, diabetes
mellitus, renal failure, accidents, and wounds of all kinds. ncreases in
death rate have been particularly marked in the municipalities of
Balasan, Alimodian and Badiangan.
6.3.2 Education
At present there are 981 public elementary schools, 172 secondary
schools, 80 private elementary schools & 37 private secondary schools
in the entire loilo Province.
Cohort SurvivaI Rate . High drop out and low cohort survival rates in
public elementary and secondary schools. The lowest cohort survival
rates is identified in SY 2007-2008 (78.9percent) in elementary and in
secondary education is SY 2006-2007 (77.28percent). The province's
dropout rate in elementary level in public schools for SY 2006-2007 to
SY 2007-2008 are at 3.15percent/3.2percent while in secondary level
the rates are 6.53percent/6.51percent. Dropout rates may even higher
among schools in remote areas.
High drop out and low cohort survival rates are brought mostly by the
following issues and problems: a) low family income b) poor health
nutrition c) inaccessibility of basic education facilities in far-flung and
106
island barangays and d) increasing drug & alcohol abuse among
students.
The following school districts of the province of loilo have been
identified with low survival rates from SY 2005-2006, SY 2006-07 &
SY 2007-08 were the Districts of Batad, Sara and Pototan which
have significant decreased in cohort survival rate. Other school
districts have been also identified with low cohort survival rate for SY
2007-2008 are Concepcion, Pototan , Sara, Janiuay , San Dionisio
and Badiangan.
Currently the existing classroom-pupil ratio is 1:25 in elementary and
1:46 in the secondary level.
Literacy Rate by PopuIation. There is a growing appreciation in the
Philippines that literacy, and in particular functional literacy, is a good
indicator of overall social development. Literacy rate of the population
increased 98.71percent. There were two basic major programs which
was implemented to increased literacy rate.
1. Basic Literacy Program (BLP) a community based
training program for illiterates, out-school children, youth and
adults who are willing to learn basic literacy skills.
A total of 1,055 enrolments were registered
A total of 1,033 graduated from the above
enrollees.
2. Accomplishments for Continuing Education Program
(CEP)
3,352 enrollments of which 3,154 are completers.

6.3.3. Housing
The housing situation in loilo Province is based on the figures of the 14
LGUs that have drafted their Local Shelter Plan in 2008: Anilao,
Balasan, Batad, Calinog, Estancia, Janiuay, Lambunao, Leganes,
Maasin, Mina, Pavia, Pototan, Sta. Barbara and PassiCity. Based on
the estimates of the 14 LGUs, there are approximately 50,000 informal
settler families in the province accounting for about 15percent of the
number of households in the province based on 2007 population. Most
of the houses in loilo were constructed between 1991 to 2000. This is
about 61percent of the total housing stock. This means the most of the
houses are relatively new, and few need major repair. However, due to
damages of Typhoon Frank in June 2008, the number of structures
needing upgrading has increased considerably. The housing need of
loilo Province, based only on the estimates of the 14 LGUs, for the
period 2008 to 2016 is 44,554 units. This is composed of the backlog
and units need due to population increase..
Of the occupied housing units, 73.82percent are owned or being
amortized, 2.43percent are rented, 17.57percent being occupied for
free with consent of owners, and the remaining units are being
occupied for free without owner's consent. Regarding the occupied
lots, 43percent are owned or being amortized, 7percent are rented,
44percent occupied for free with consent of owners. The remaining are
occupied without owner's consent.
Based on 2007 population which is 1,691,878, with an average annual
population growth rate 1.13percent and an average household size
5.05, and a ratio 1:1.05 household per dwelling unit, the present
housing need or the backlog is computed at 32,023 units. This figure is
based on displaced units (26,141) households and double-up units or
sharers, (5,882) households.
110
The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) has approved to date
176 subdivisions with licenses to sell. Majority of these subdivisions have
lots for economic housing and for socialized housing. t is also noted that
municipalities within the periphery of loilo City have the most number of
subdivisions, Oton with 29, Pavia with 30, Leganes with 13 and Sta. Barbara
with 11.
Quite a number of households are situated within environmentally critical
areas. They are the most likely victims of natural hazards like landslides,
flashflood, coastal flloding, storm surges, etc. Some of them opted to transfer
to safe areas while a few remain, due to economic reason and to be near
their workplace.

6.3.4. Security
Comparative Crime VoIume
CriminaIity. The total crime volume from January 1 to 23
rd
of August,
2006 that includes index and non-index crimes totaled to 596 incidents,
a decrease of 11 incidents representing 1.81percent compared to the
previous year of 2005 & 25.21percent higher in 2004.
The Province has recorded an increase of 0.76 on crime solution
efficiency in 2006 compared to 2005 of the same period and decrease
of 1.03percent compared to CY 2004.
For the ndex Crimes, physical injuries registered the highest number
of occurrences with 221 incidents, followed by murder with 85
incidents, homicide with 4, rape with 31, robbery with 30, theft with 16
for a total of 447 ndex Crimes. Non-ndex Crimes recorded a total of
149 cases, which are all in violation of Special Laws. The average
monthly crime rate (AMCR) registered at 3.81 in 2004, 4.86 in 2005
and 4.77 in 2006. Some serious crimes committed were related to
drugs.
Terrorism. The CPP/NPA/NDF Panay (Re-Affirmist Faction) is
reported to continue to display aggressiveness in its recovery and
expansion activities by conducting house-to-house visitations and
propaganda work. These areas were identified mostly in the southern
and central Municipalities of the province of loilo.
IIIegaI drugs. Methamphetamine Hydrochloride or shabu remains to
be the number one drug of choice in province of loilo. Marijuana
comes in second due to its affordability and availability while
Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or commonly known as
ecstacy, monitored to be used by some affluent members of the loilo
society. llegal drugs like cocaine, heroin and opium were not
114
monitored to exist in the region. llegal drugs continue to be smuggled
in the region through air, land and sea transportation from Manila,
Cebu, Dumaguete, Cagayan de Oro, Masbate and Zamboanga City.
There are five critical entry and exit points for illegal drugs in the
region: seaport, airports, mail and parcel, RP shoreline & roro system.
There were 286 persons in 2007 arrested and 146 persons from

policeman :1,280 population. The normal is 1 police per 1,700
population.
Fire Protection. Under the R.A. 6975, the Bureau of Fire Protection
shall established at least one fire station with adequate personnel
equipment in every municipality but currently the Province of loilo has
only 33 fire station out of 42 municipalities and one component city.
Two of these are City Fire Stations including Six Sub-station in loilo
City and the other 29 are classified as municipal fire station. There are
13 municipalities without firetrucks. There are 353 firemen in the whole
province of loilo. Based in the estimated ratio of 1 fireman to 2000
population, there is a need of 691 firemen/personnel to cater to the
whole population. There were already 400 fire incidence in 2007 which

6.4 UtiIity/Infrastructure Services
6.4.1 Water and Sanitation
The Metro loilo Water District (MWD) provides the water requirements
of the city of loiloand the municipalities of Pavia, Maasin, Cabatuan,
Sta. Barbara. Oton, Leganes, and San Miguel. MWD has an existing
storage distribution of 7,500 m
3
concrete ground reservoir at
Talanghauan, Santa Barbara, 568 m
3
elevated steel tank at Jibao-an,
Pavia. MWD continue to rehabilitate the old transmission lines and
production wells and interconnection of distribution line in subdivisions.
t is noted that water consumption increased by 24.87percent from year
2005 to 2007.
The MWD has its surface water source in Maasin Dam,Brgy. Daja,
Maasin with a capacity of 350 lps. Another source is from
groundwaters, PS # 8, 9, 10, 11 from Bgys. Sta. Monica, Cabatuan
Norte at Oton (57 lps); PS #3A from Bgy. Jibaoan, Pavia (26 lps);
andPS #7,1, 2, 12 from Bgys. San Jose, Sto. Nino at San Miguel (55
lps).
There is a need to supply more water in the city and in selected
municipalities covered by MWD. An additional water supply project to
tap water from Tinagong Dagat at Lambunao, Lake Vito at Dingle, and
Jalaur River at Pototan is being proposed. Other potential water
sources are from Tigum River Basin at Maasin, Aganan River at
Alimodian, Sibalom River at Leon and the loilo River.
116
117
With the growing consumer's awareness and concern about the safety
of tap water, people began to choose bottled water as a safe drinking
water. Due to public demand, increasing bottled water distributors
extract underground water for commercial purposes. This may cause
salt water intrusion.
As of May 2000 loilo province has total household of 298,593. Data
showed that in 2007 about 291,709 hh or 97.69percent have access to
safe water. Level served 204,429 hh (68.46percent), Level served
40,374 or 13.52percent and Level served 46,906 hh or
15.71percent. There are 6,884 households or 2.31percent which do not
have access to safe water. There is a need to
construct/rehabilitation/improve water system in all municipalities and
one (1) component city of the province.
Sewerage from houses is detained in the septic tank. Most houses in
the barangays do not have septic tank and waste goes directly into the
underground. Data shows the number of households with sanitary
toilets increased by 8.82percent from 259,992 households in 2006 to
285,145 households in 2007. About 95.49percent of the total 298,593
households (based on the May 2000 Census of Population) in the
province of loilo have sanitary toilets. By the end of 2013, 100 percent
of the household will have sanitary toilets.
6.4.2 Power
Providing the power requirements of all municipalities in the province
are the three (3) Electric Cooperatives. Electric Cooperatives had
energized 97.90percent of the barangays as of 2007. The Panay
Electric Company (PECO) serves the whole city of loilo.
118
LECO serves 15 municipalities with 95,074 potential consumers and
107,639 members. t registered an increase of 9.75 percent in its total
membership from 2005 to 2007. All barangays have been fully
energized. House connections increased by 10.57 percent from 2005-
2007.
LECO also serves 15 municipalities with 101,433 potential
consumers and 78,274 members, an increase of 11.03 percent from
2005-2007. Of the 587 barangays, 578 barangays were energized or
98.5percent of the total. House connections increased by of
12.60percent during the period.
LECO covers 13 municipalities with 68,695 potential consumers
with 45,070 members (or an increase of 14.27 percent in its
membership). Of the 340 barangays, 313 barangays were energized or
92 percent of the total. House connection increased by 15.38 percent
during the same period.
The power rates charged by the electric cooperatives are much higher
compared to the MERALCO rate of P3.1886/kwhin Metro Manila. t is
noted that the forecasted demand from 2006 to 2021 raised in LECO
119percent, LECO 90percent, LECO 69percent and PECO
48percent.
Reliable power supply in the province of loilo is vital to sustain
economic growth. NGAs, LGUs, NGOs and other agencies collaborate
to tap renewable indigenous and non-conventional sources such as
hydro, geothermal, coal-powered and biogas energy sources.
Renewable sources of energy could augment the shortage of power
supply but the province needs a base load, a stable power plant to
provide reliable and low cost energy. Construction of additional power
plant should take into account the following considerations; base load
plant, environment friendly, use of indigenous fuel, reasonable
generation cost and short construction period.
119
n order to optimize the utilization of indigenous resources in the
Visayas, TRANSCO has proposed a 138 KV Negros-Panay
nterconnection Uprating Project, the Northern Panay Backbone
Transmission Project and the Southern Panay Backbone Transmission
Project. The proposed transmission lines connecting substations of
Sta. Barabara to Sibalom could accommodate load growth for the
development of the Province of loilo like the Proposed Export
Processing Zone near the airport, the 178 hectares Leganes ndustrial
Growth Center, nstitutional facilities (Ateneo de loilo, condo-clinics,
hospitals, commercial buildings), Tourism-related facilities (new 200
room 5-star hotel, mixed-used 3,000-seat convention center), proposed
T Park in Magsaysay Village, Pavia Agro-industrial centers,
commercial expansions (SM City, SM Jaro and SM Delgado.
120
121
6.4.3 FIood ControI/Drainage
The topography of loilo varies from flat lands and rolling hills to
mountain peaks and ranges. The mountain ranges lie along the border
between loilo and the provinces of Antique and Capiz, and roll down
into flat plains towards the coastal towns. Almost one-third of the entire
province is considered flat.
Typhoon Frank, one of the most devastating typhoon that affected the
province battered the Western Visayas on June 21, 2008. Packing
maximum winds from 175 kilometers per hour (110 mph) with 10
minute-sustained wind to 205 kilometers per hour (125 mph) with 1
minute sustained wind. t unloaded a catastrophic amount of rainwater
in the mountains of northern Panay, inundating the major river
systems. As water cascaded from the mountains, the entire island was
flooded. Days after the disaster struck, tens of thousands remained
homeless and sanitation problems worsened as many parts of the
urban settlements found themselves without potable water and
electricity.
The aftermath of the typhoon wrought billions of pesos in damage and
destruction to private property and public infrastructures and
unquantifiable emotional anguish to the people of Western Visayas,
particularly, loilo. As per report of the Regional Disaster Coordinating
Council Region V, n loilo alone, 624,425 persons where affected in
1,123 barangays while 40,013 houses were partially damaged and
19,525 houses totally damaged. A total of 129 persons were dead,
119 missing and 929 injured. Cost of damage to infrastructure totals to
P461,906,900. and P207,321,674 to agriculture. After creating havoc
in the Philippines, Typhoon FENGSHEN travelled through South China
Sea early on June 23 and headed northwards towards China where it
was downgraded to a tropical storm.
122
123
Twenty-three (23) municipalities proposed to construct flood control
projects which could entail billions of pesos beyond the financial
capacity of these LGUs.
The DPWH-JCA loilo Flood Control Project-Package 1 is undergoing
construction until 2010 which will connect the Tigum and Aganan
Rivers and will drain to the loilo Channel with a total contract price of P
1.191 Billion. Package 2 includes the improvement of loilo River,
Upper ngore Creek and both banks of Jaro River Mouth with a
contract price of P507.804 Million.
Generally the drainage system for the domestic and industrial waste of
the municipalities flows into an open or covered canal running along
both sides of the road and discharge to the creek, river or sea. Most
drainage systems are not effective due to silt and accumulated waste
stored in the system. Drainage system of the 42 municipalities and one
component city will be effective and functional by the end of 2013.
6.4.4 SoIid Waste Management
Waste Segregation at Source. The waste segregation at source is
an important component in the implementation of RA 9003. Thirty four
LGUs (81 percent) indicated that they conduct waste segregation at
source. Many LGUs that indicated implementing waste segregation at
source only implement it in a very small area of their municipality.
Several indicated as implementing it only at the school level or market.
Municipal-wide implementation of waste segregation at source is not
evident in almost all the municipalities assessed.
Waste CoIIection. Most LGUs conduct waste collection in urban areas
only although some conduct waste collection in rural areas near the
vicinity of urban areas. Some residents especially in the rural areas,
cited that there is no waste collection due to small volume of wastes,
124
budget constraints, areas unreachable by vehicle, and municipalities
were encouraged to have their own compost pit.
MateriaIs Recovery FaciIity (MRF). There are 33 LGUs (78.6
percent) which have MRF. Some municipalities have only 1 or 2 MRF
mostly located in the center of the municipality.
Garbage DisposaI. The Solid Waste Management Act (RA
9003) requires LGUs not only to recover as much recyclable materials
from waste as possible but also to manage the garbage disposal
properly. LGUs are ordered to close existing dumpsites and convert
these to a controlled dumpsite. Fifty percent LGUs have converted to
controlled dumpsites. Twenty five (25) LGUs (59.5 percent) have safe
closure plans. Safe closure plans were inspected and approved by
EMB. Several LGUs expressed their desire to cluster with other
municipalities in order to minimize expenses and make a sanitary
landfill more viable.
loilo Province aims to develop an ecopark specifically in the loilo
Rehabilitation Center that will feature its ntegrated Solid Waste
Management program.
6.4.5 Communications
Available communication services in loilo are: telephone services
including domestic and international direct dial, facsimile, mobile
communications, internet, telegraph and telex stations, post offices and
other messengerial and courier services.
There are 42 out of 43 municipalities with existing telephone facilities
with PLDT serving 20 municipalities and Globelines serving 40
municipalities.
125
126
Some municipalities are being served by the two telephone companies.
As of 2007, there are 40 telephone exchanges and 164,013 installed
lines for the province. There are 44 post offices in different
municipalities staffed with postmasters, mail carriers and utility
workers.
nformation communication technology is one of the major economic
drivers of the province. The provincial government is open for investors
to invest in an CT building that would host interested BPO companies
willing to locate in loilo. Due to the increasing demand of
communications, there is a need to establish an nformation
Technology Park that could accommodate BPO companies and
provide an eCommunication Centers to the 43 municipalities.
loilo has a vision to be the premier CT development partner for world-
class CT human resources anchored on industry standards. The loilo
Federation of nformation Technology was created to help transform
loilo an T investment destination and major CT and TES hub through
proactive intervention in the HR development. t is a collaboration of
academe, government and industry on information and communication
technology.
6.4.6 Irrigation FaciIities
loilo is an agricultural-based province that is being served by several
major irrigation systems augmented by numerous small irrigation
projects with a total service area of 26,456.00 hectares for 2007. The
provision of irrigation facilities contributed to an increase in the yield
per hectare of paddy and other crops as well. The major irrigation
systems and its service areas are the following:
The JaIaur-Suage River Irrigation System has been the main source
of irrigation water which flows through distribution canals traversing
127
almost the majority of the farmlands in Central loilo. t has a service
area of 14,400 haectares with a percentage share of 54.43 percent.
The Jalaur-Suage RS covers 12,688 hectares during wet season and
7,995 hectares during dry season, dropping by 58.69 percent. There

during dry season benefiting 1,246 farmer beneficiaries benefited in
this irrigation system.
There are 15 communal irrigation systems and pumps with service
area of 1,500 hectares that are no longer operational which need to be
rehabilitated
Aside from the main irrigation systems there are other sources of
irrigation water being managed by the National rrigation System, other
government agencies and the private sector comprising a total of
41,357.25 hectares with 21,227 beneficiaries. n order to increase the
number of farmer beneficiaries, the Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project
Stage is being proposed. Stage of JRMP was proposed to
128
update the Feasibility Study of the project in order to assess its viability
for implementation with the following development schemes:
Jalaur Dam with dam height of 108 meters
Ulian Dam with dam height of 46 meters
After-bay dams at Jalaur and Ulian
Three (3) catch dams at Alibunan, Tagbacan and Jayubo Rivers
High-line canal connecting Jalaur Dam to Ulian Dam and to the
existing 4 irrigation systems
Construction of new irrigation and drainage facilities 12,000
new irrigation service area
mprovement and modernization of the 5 existing irrigation
systems
The Province of loilo has its own program to support the irrigation
system. t will establish, rehabilitate small scale irrigation projects like
check dam, diversion dam, small farm reservoir, pump irrigation
projects and small water impounding projects.
6.5 Other Services and FaciIities
The Comprehensive Welfare and Development Program (CSWDP)
addresses the vision of social welfare where the poor, vulnerable and
disadvantaged individuals, families and communities are empowered
for an improved quality of life.
EIderIy and ChiIdren . n 2007, most of the clientele serve were senior
citizen with 95,198. Abused children served in the same year were
41,730. They are in need of special protection. They are vulnerable
to emotional abuse, sexual/physical abuse with tendencies that may
result to prostitution, early marriage, unwanted pregnancy and others
in the effect of so much problems they will result to suicidal tendencies.
Mostly causes of these problems are poverty, lack of attention from
129
their parents, dysfunctional family, parent/adult are engaged in vices
and maybe absence of both parents.
Women's Desk, Office of Senior Citizens and Day Care
Center/Feeding Center were established in all municipalities. There
are 2 Child Minding Centers in the municipality of Concepcion and
New Lucena. n the loilo Provincial Capitol, a Drop in Center was
established to accommodate 3-5 years old children exclusively for the
loilo Provincial Government Employees. Senior Citizens have their
repective offices too at the old capitol building that will serve as a
venue for their meetings and other related activities. There are
rehabilitation centers which are NGO initiated in collaboration with local
government units that caters to the following:
Save our Souls (SOS) Childrens Village, nc. in Zarraga which
caters to abandoned, neglected and abused children.
Here's Hope Ministries, nc. in Sta. Barbara which provide food
stuff for feeding for less fortunate children in different
municipalities.
Don Bosco Home for Boys in Dumangas which is a refuge for
abandoned, neglected, vagrant out-of-school boys.

effective approach in providing comprehensive rehabilitation services
and inpromoting rights and empowerment of persons with disabilities.
Concerned national government agencies and local government units
provide development and implement programs to assist the
marginalized, disabled persons to gain access in the use of transport
facilities, such as assistance in the form of subsidized transportation

their self help organizations. They will also be provided with assistance
in setting up specific projects like business propositions.
Indigenous PeopIe. For the Province of loilo, there are two areas
covered by Republic Act 8371. The implementation of this law is still
in its early stage thus the regional office of the NCP is still on the
process of identifying and delineating other potential areas as ancestral

To help uplift the indigenous peoples social and economic condition,
NCP provided livelihood. These project focused on traditional
handicrafts, agricultural inputs and establishment of abaca plantation.
131
132
6.6 Poverty
6.6.1 Extent of Poverty
High incidence of poverty is often claimed to be the major constraints in
the attainment of a good quality of life of the Filipinos. This is a major
concern of the country and the Province of loilo has its own share of
this problem.
Using the Family ncome and Expenditures Survey (FES), the Annual
Per Capita Poverty Threshold in the Province of loilo for CY 2006 is
P14,810.00. This means that this is the income required or the
expenditures necessary to meet the food requirements and other non-
food basic needs of one person in one year. Computed in a monthly
basis, it takes P1,234.17 per person per month or P7,405.00 per month
for a family of six to satisfy both their food and other non- food basic
needs.
The Province of loilo ranked 5
th
in terms of poverty incidence among
families in Region V. The poverty incidence among the population in
loilo for CY 2006 was recorded at 30.4percent, with 8.2percent
decrease compared to 2003 poverty incidence of 38.6percent. Taking
the total population in the Province of loilo for CY 2006, there were
almost 609,625 individuals who were below the poverty threshold in the
province.
On the other hand, the poverty incidence among families in loilo for CY
2006 was recorded at 10.1percent, which is 7.8percent lower than CY
2003. Translating this to the total families of the Province of loilo,
100,759 families were below the poverty line.
6.6.2 Location of Poverty Concentration/PrevaIence
Basing on the National Statistic Coordination Board (NSCB) Poverty
Mapping/Municipal Level Small Area Estimates for CY 2000, the
133
Municipality of Carles ranked number 1 with 71.82percent poverty
incidence while the Municipality of Pavia had the least poverty
incidence of 14.06percent.
Further, the NSCB's small area statistics revealed that five (5)
municipalities were on the alarming situation, 26 municipalities were
within the provincial index, 11 municipalities were in better situation
and 1 municipality was classified as in best situation. This was based
on the municipal poverty index or the proportion of the municipal
poverty incidences to the provincial poverty incidence for CY 2000.
The five (5) municipalities on the alarming situation were Carles,
Concepcion, San Dionisio, Lemery and Balasan while the Municipality
of Pavia was classified as on best situation.
Other tools in determining the state of poverty in the Province of loilo
was utilized to comeup with poverty ranking of the municipalities such
as the poverty map initiated by the Peace Equity Foundation (PEF) and
loilo Code NGOs using various poverty indicators such as malnutrition
rate, cohort survival rate, access to potable water, access to sanitary
toilets, infant mortality rate and strong roofs as proxy indicators for
income.
134
135
The data showed that the Municipality of Mina ranked 1 in terms of
malnutrition or has the highest number of malnourished children. On
nfant mortality rate showed that the municipalities of Cabatuan and
Sara ranked .
Municipality of San Rafael ranked 1 for high school cohort survival rate,
while the municipalities of Calinog, Badiangan and Estancia ranked 1
for the elementary cohort survival rate.
On the other hand, only Carles had a problem on the accessibility to
sanitary toilets while Carles and San Rafael had poor access to potable
water.
Considering the data on households with strong roofs as proxy
indicator for household income, the municipalities of Carles, San
Dionisio and Concepcion ranked 1. This means that more households
in these municipalities have low income.
6.6.3 Key Conditions and Factors Contributing to Poverty
t is observed that high poverty incidence is prevalence in the
municipalities that are far from the capital city and mostly in the coastal
municipalities. This could be attributed to low livelihood/investment and
employment opportunities and poor delivery of basic services in these
areas.
Due to low household income, the minimum basic needs of the family
members are not fully attained, resulting to poor quality of life, thus,
resulting to high malnutrition incidence, high infant mortality, low
survival rate both in secondary and elementary level.
The high malnutrition incidence is attributed by non implementation of
any food supplementation program since the devolution of health and
nutrition services to the LGUs due to inadequate budget. Lack of
136
proper health and nutrition practices among households also brought
about high incidence of child malnutrition. Furthermore, this was
attributed by lack of health workers and lack of advocacy.
The high nfant Mortality Rate in some municipalities is caused by low
access to basic health and nutrition services or improper health and
nutrition practices especially on the expanded immunization program
and micronutrients supplementation.
Poor access to potable water and sanitary toilet also lead to poor
health condition, thus resulting to high mortality rate.
Formal education is looked upon by most of us as the major avenue
towards success that no matter how poor a family is, sending their
children to school is a priority need. However, low survival rate in
secondary and elementary had been observed. This is caused by the
combination of households' poverty situation and far distance or poor
access of households to schools.
6.6.5 Poverty Reduction Strategies, Targets, Programs and Projects
GoaIs. Cognizant with the achievement of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDG), the Province of loilo hopes to improve the
quality of life of its populace by reducing the proportion of households
with less than the poverty threshold from 46.5percent in 1993 to
23.25percent by 2015.
Objectives. Specifically, the Province of loilo aims to increase
livelihood/nvestment opportunities and employment opportunities. t
also aims to improve nutrition status, health condition, educational
status, access to potable water and access to sanitary toilets
137

7. LAND USE AND PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK
7.1 Existing Land Use, Trends and PotentiaI Expansion
7.1.1 Existing Land Use
Land use is the way in which an area of land as actually being put to
use. loilo has a total land area of 471,940 hectares, utilized as follows;
production land use, protection land use and built up areas. Production
land use consisting of an area of 410,733.12 hectares or 87.03percent
, protection land use, an area of 38,056.43 hectares or 8.06percent and
built up areas of 23,150.45 hectares or 4.91percent of the total land
area.
A large area of the production land is used as crop lands, 333,128.82
hectares (81.11percent). Croplands could be found in almost all of
the municipalities of the province. These areas are planted into rice
(irrigated, non-irrigated, upland) corn, mango, banana and other
industrial crops such as sugarcane, coconut, and coffee, while the
remaining areas are generally considered as grasslands and shrub
land.

these, other land uses include areas for ancestral domains claims in
Cabatangan, Agsirab and Panuran in Lambunao, civil reservations and
open access.
Protection land use area includes NPAS and non-NPAS areas.
NPAS area has an aggregate area of 37,355.99 hectares which
includes the Bulabog Putian Natural Park, Sampunong Bolo Wildlife
Sanctuary , forest reserve and other forest land for forest purposes and
the watershed forest reserve of Jalaur (located at Calinog and
Lambunao and Maasin (located at Maasin, Janiuay and Alimodian).
Mangrove plantation accounts for 700.44 hectares
The province built up areas has a total land area of 23,105.45
hectares. Built up areas within A&D areas covers 19,020 hectares .
and those within forestland has total land area of 4,130.45 hectares. t
is noted that, in some municipalities, built areas extends to some
barangays. Cabatuan and Sta. Barabara have extended their built up
areas particularly towards the New loilo Airport and along its
peripheries. Miag-ao has added some barangays, within the
surroundings of the University of the Philippines to form part of the built
up area. Oton, which serves as a dormitory town of the Metro loilo
Guimaras Development Council, has the largest area for residential
expansion and can accommodate small to complex residential
developments. Pavias' wide built up areas is attributed to the large
number of industrial establishments. t continues to allocate a wide
area of its land for industrial use a spin off of its designation as the
Regional Agro-ndustrial Center.

7.1.2 Trends
Apparently, municipalities within the periphery of loilo City have
changed some of its land uses form agricultural to non-agricultural
uses. This is because they absorb the spill over of development in
loilo City. Population, industries, trading activities which could not be
accommodated in the city found their niche within the surrounding
municipalities.
Though Leganes, Sta. Barbara and San Miguel continue to have
productive areas for agriculture, they also continue to assume their
roles as being part of Metro loilo. Leganes has indicated its role as
agro industrial center, with presence of light industrial activities,
commercial activities, mixed use developments and also residential
area development. This is also true with Sta. Barbara and San Miguel
area.
Passi City has added six more barangays to the existing and approved
urban land use plan to give way to its future development. Other land
uses are anticipated to increase because of the introduction of physical
business and commercial development in the area.
Estancia's additional barangays is attributed to its dense population..
Estancia as a minor urban center has Carles, Balasan and Batad as
satellite municipalities.
Other municipalities that have expanded their urban areas are
Cabatuan, Miag-ao, Calinog, and Janiuay. These municipalities are
emerging growth centers which the presence of hospitals (except Miag-
ao), tertiary education services and full range of convenience shops.
144
7.2 PhysicaI Framework
The framework is composed of several proposed general components
such as settlements, production, protection, and transport/other
infrastructures that relate vertically similarly to the Regional Physical
Framework Plan and the Comprehensive Land use Plan (CLUP).
7.2.1 InitiaI SettIement Growth
The initial settlements growth considers the existing built up areas and
the future trends of expansion of settlement areas. The approximate
future settlements/built-up areas based on the demand for land how
existing settlements are expected to grow and expand geographically
are delineated. This involved revising the built-up areas in Map 24
taking into account the urban- rural distribution of population, the
existing hierarchy of settlements and the approved comprehensive land
use plans of municipalities and city as well as the regional spatial
strategies as enunciated in the Regional Physical Framework Plan
were considered in projecting the initial settlements growth plan of the
province. The resulting map is Map 25.
Settlements that would likely grow and expand are those within the
periphery of loilo City ( Oton, San Miguel, Pavia and Leganes). These
municipalities have agreed to form an alliance with Metro loilo to
address urbanization, economic growth, environmental issues and
concerns. These municipalities have its own role in the alliance. Pavia
as the agro-industrial center , Leganes as the center of agriculture and
light to heavy industries, as agricultural basket for San Miguel and as a
residential area for Oton. Being the gateway to the New loilo Airport,
Sta. Barbara has manisfested to join the alliance as the center for
agriculture and heritage tourism. Rehabilitation and maintenance of
roads going to the New loilo Airport have spurred economic
development in the area. With these urbanization trend, the
145
additional land required for urban development is 4,631 km
2
. ( Urban
population times 6 hectares/ 1,000 population). Urban population is
771,853.
146
147
7.2.2 InitiaI SettIements and Protection Land Use
The initial settlements and protection land use plan is derived by
integrating the initial settlements growth plan and the existing
protection land use. This involved the overlaying of Map 25, (nitial
Settlements Growth Map) with Map 11 (Protection Areas map) to
determine areas where built up can expand without encroaching into
the protection areas.
The following criteria were considered in identifying settlement/built-up
expansion areas as part of the process of reconciling/integrating
demand and supply for land: 1) the area is along established urban
growth directions, 2) that the area can be provided with basic services
and utilities, 3) ideally within the 0- 8% slope range, 4) reasonably
accessible from existing built up areas and other employment centers
through existing or proposed roads and other transportation facilties, 5)
within A&D lands but not in environmentally critical areas 6) not in
protection areas and 7) consistent with the comprehensive land use
plans of the municipalities.
Existing and potential land use conflicts were also identified. Various
types of land use conflicts are:
1. Built-up land uses encroaching into agricultural and other
production (A&D) areas.
2. Built-up land uses encroaching into forest protection
areas.
3. Built-up land uses encroaching into protection areas in
built-up areas.
4. Agricultural and other non-built up production areas
encroaching into protection areas within other production
areas.
148
5. Agricultural and other non-built up production areas
encroaching into forest protection areas.
Existing land use conflicts are those that are 1) harmful or destructive
to protected areas, flora, fauna, other protected natural resources; 2)
life threatening or are direct threats to public safety; 3) threatening to
the sustainability of key production resources or employment activites
and threatening to the delivery of basic services.
Below is a list of existing and potential land use conflicts based on the
analysis of maps. Other information is also provided by the MGB
which identified land use conflicts in the process of geo-hazard
mapping:
1. Built up land uses encroaching into irrigated areas and
flood prone areas are located in the municipalities of
Pavia, Leganes, Zarraga, Oton, Dumangas,
2. Portions of built up land areas in the municipalities of
Tigbauan, Balasan, Lemery, Sara, Banate, Barotac
Nuevo, Pototan, Dingle and Mina are also encroaching
into irrigated areas and flood prone areas.
3. n Dumangas, areas near the banks of the river and
irrigation canals are prone to bank scouring and erosion.
4. Banate built up area is located within storm surge prone
areas, coastal flooding and coastal erosion
5. Portions of built up areas in Miag-ao, Guimbal,
Tubungan, Leon, Maasin and Lambunao are located
within the landslide prone areas.
6. Existing and proposed built up area of Passi City is
heading towards agricultural areas.
7. n Miag-ao, settlements are located in areas highly
susceptible to landslides, residential areas located on top
of slopes where indications of soil erosion are perceptibly
in progress, and are flood-prone.
8. n Cabatuan and Maasin, some residential areas are still
located in areas where previous landslide occurred,
located along rivers where flooding could reach more
149
than a meter depth during extreme weather conditions
and are susceptible to sheet flooding and river bank
erosion.
9. n San Joaquin, storm surges, riverbank
erosions,landslides are serious threats to some houses,
schools and barangay halls.
10. n Oton, flooding would also affect houses and
agricultural areas.
11. Other land use conflicts observed are in gbaras (mass
movement), Tubungan and Duenas, Janiuay (flashflood
near creeks and rivers), Leon and Janiuay (mass
movement),

7.2 Over aII PhysicaI Framework.
SettIements Framework
Metro Iloilo
loilo City, the provincial capital, is the metropolitan core of Western
Visayas. t is the center for governance, residential, commercial,
financial and educational activities, not only of the province but the
whole region as well. t is the nucleus of development from which
growth takes place in a radial fashion. The development in loilo City
has spilled over to the surrounding municipalities of Pavia, Oton, San
Miguel, Leganes and Sta. Barbara to form the Metro loilo Development
Council (MDC). Currently, the Province of Guimaras became part of
the alliance because of its proximity to loilo City and its potential in
eco-tourism. The alliance is now known as the Metro loilo Guimaras
Economic Development Council (MGEDC). Satellite municipalities
include Zarraga, New Lucena, Cabatuan, Maasin, Alimodian, Leon and
Tigbauan
The alliance has resulted in municipalities playing individual roles:
Pavia as agro-industrial center, Leganes as the center for agriculture
and light to heavy industries for Leganes, San Miguel as the
agricultural basket and Oton as the residential area. Sta. Barbara,
being the gateway to the New loilo Airport of international standard,
becomes the center for agriculture and heritage tourism. .
As members of the MGEDC, some of these municipalities assume the
role of loilo City as the seat of regional governance. Pavia and
Leganes are already hosts to regional offices of some national
government agencies.
Metro loilo (composed of loilo City and MDC member municipalities)
would still be the seat of the regional offices of the government and
would still perform multiple roles of residential, financial and industrial
152
center of the region. t will be the transportation hub and center for
processing of aqua-marine, fruit and other agri-industrial products. t
will provide linkages to tourism sites in other urban areas in the region
as well as promote interaction between and among regions/nations. As
the regional center, Metro loilo shall accommodate a larger share of
the region's future higher density commercial and residential growth
with a higher level of transit access and interaction.
Other Urban Centers in the Province
Other urban centers were also identified in various parts of the
province: Miag-ao in the southern part , Dumangas, Barotac Viejo
Sara, and Estancia in the north and Janiuay, Pototan in the central
part and Passi City in the north-central.
Miag-ao , the center for commerce and trade in the southern part of
loilo and gateway to Antique and other major tourist spots has
Guimbal, gbaras, San Joaquin and Tubungan as its satellite
municipalities.
The presence of Naluoyan Port in Dumangas and its accessibility via
the coastal road coupled with the presence of teritiary educational
facilities and convenience shops makes Dumangas a minor urban
center whose satellite municipalities are Barotac Nuevo and Anilao,
while Barotac Viejo's satellite are Banate and San Rafael.
n the northern part, Sara is the convergence point and training center
of the municipalities of Concepcion, Lemery, San Dionisio and Ajuy
while Estancia, the center for fish trading in loilo and a commercial
center in the north has Carles, Balasan and Batad as its satellite
municipalities. Minor urban centers such as Janiuay and Pototan have
satellite municipalities surrounding the area. Passi City has San
Enrique, Dueas and Dingle as satellite municipalities.
Future Expansion of Built-up Areas
153
Minor urban centers such as Cabatuan, Estancia and Passi City will
eventually become major urban centers: Cabatuan being the site of
the new loilo Airport; Estancia because of its buoyant fishing industry
and existing port facilities and Passi City being the center of commerce
and trade in central loilo.
Due to future expansion of built up areas in Cabatuan, and estimated
52 km
2
is required from 2007 to 2013. Expansion will focus on the
barangays surrounding the new loilo Airport and the poblacion itself.
Estancia on the other hand, will need an additional 39 km
2
to
accommodate its estimated additional population growth of 6,526 for
the period 2007-2013. Passi Citys' additional population growth of
12,001 from 2007- 2013 will need 72 km
2
for settlement expansion.
Most of these expansion will also focus on the poblacion and the six
additional barangays that is part of the city.
Given the existing planning environment of the province and local
government units in the area, the provincial government will adopt
policy frameworks to guide strategic decisions on settlements
development planning of the province: improvement of service delivery
and encourage local initiative in advancing opportunities for economic
growth and in enhancing overall quality of life; establish and maintain
internal and external linkages to increase inter and intra-regional
integration that leads to economic growth, improved production
efficiency and market access, provide proper and humane relocation
and resettlements to address the housing needs of informal
settlements; define appropriate urban development limits in identified
environmentally-critical areas/disaster-prone areas, formulate and
implement a comprehensive plan and policies on public safety, disaster
mitigation and preparedness in settlement areas and adopt a
partnership or co-management arrangements between LGUs and
NGAs in the management of the environment through proper land use
planning and zoning.
154
155
Protection Framework
loilo has protected areas categorized as NPAS and non-NPAs areas,
environmentally-critical areas and disaster-prone areas. Protection
lands are portion of land and water set aside for its unique physical and
biological significance to enhance biological diversity and protected
against destructive human influence and impact.
To preserve and protect proclaimed natural and historical lands, the
provincial government will provide permanent park guards/wardens
equipped with logistical support, pursue urban forestry in line with the
establishment of tree parks in compliance with the provisions of the
Local Government Code. Massive reforestation of degraded mangrove
ecosystem through a community based approach will be actively
pursued. Forest lands located above 1000 meters above sea level and
with slope over 50 percent shall be strictly preserved and protected.
The strict enforcement of buffer zones establishments along river
easements by the DENR and LGUs through co-management scheme
shall be supported.
The province will intensify efforts on enhanced public awareness on the
values of protection areas and disaster preparedness and at the same
time increase public participation in conservation and disaster
mitigation efforts within their communities. t will implement land use
policies and zoning regulations that encourage the use of disaster
mitigation and environmental protection and rehabilitation measures
during production.
156
157
Production Framework
Agriculture
loilo will remain as the primary source of food for other regions
considering that approximately 70 percent of its land is still devoted to
agriculture. The province also produces corn and its livestock industry
is gaining grounds. The high producing agricultural areas in the
province are not threatened by the encroachment of settlement
expansion except for the MGEDC areas (Oton, Leganes, Pavia and
Santa Barbara), wherein prime agricultural lands are converted into
non-agricultural uses. Passi City is also affected due to the expansion
of their urban area into agricultural areas.
Constraints which hinder productivity are decreasing yield per unit
area, poor/inefficient irrigation systems and farm to market roads,
insufficient post harvest facilities, inefficient marketing system and
extension delivery system and poor local government support to
agricultural programs and projects.
To address these problems, production support activities and location
specific interventions must be intensified, rehabilitation of existing
irrigation systems in the major river basins, establishment of small
scale irrigation projects, construction/rehabilitation of farm to market
roads, establishment of post harvest and production facilities like
mechanical dryers, storage facilities and farm machineries, increase
farm gate prices of palay and strengthening of extension delivery
system. Strong linkages must also be forged between producers and
buyers/consumers to ensure higher agricultural productivity.
LGUs should implement the SAFDZ as defined in RA 8435 and
delineated in their CLUPs to protect prime agricultural lands from illegal
conversion through zoning. Existing production activities above 18
percent slope should be constrained and expansion should be
158
discouraged. Farmers presently cultivating areas located above 18
percent slope should adopt proper management and technologies like
Sloping Agricultural Land Technology (SALT) and Hilly Agricultural
Land Technology (HALT). nformation, Education Campaign should be
strengthened as well as technical assistance in identifying crop
suitability in certain areas.
Fishery
loilo's rich fishing grounds placed the province as the region's top fish
producing area representing 31.5 percent of the region's production.
Production includes aquaculture, (marine and inland), municipal and
commercial fisheries, marine, and inland. Aquaculture contributed 17
percent of the total fish production. This is composed of brackish water
fishponds, which include bangus, prawn, shrimps and tilapia.
Commercial fisheries contributed 34 percent of the total fish production
while 49 percent was contributed by the municipal fisheries. llegal
fishing, lack of alternative sources of income of the subsistence
fisherfolks and non-adoption of new technologies are the overriding
concerns of the fishery sector. Strict implementation of fishery laws,
establishment of marine protected areas, coral gardens and
mariculture parks, and strengthening of local government support
should be done.
To effectively conserve and manage with greater participation of fishing
communities in the allocation, utilization, control and protection of the
resources, the province will actively implement R.A. 8550 known as the
Fisheries Code of 1998. "Bantay Dagat Task Force specifically
among the coastal municipalities of loilo will be supported and
strengthened. ntensification of mangrove rehabilitation activities to
serve as nursery grounds for fish and other aquatic specifies as well as
the establishment of community-based fish sanctuaries and
improvement of fish habitat through the provision of artificial reefs in
suitable depleted areas and continuous dispersal of tilapia fingerlings in
inland and marine bodies of water shall also be pursued. The
159
promotion of mariculture technology and implementation of diversified
income generating activities and value-adding of fish and fishery
products shall be given due attention.
Tourism
loilo is known for its historical sites, cultural events/festivals/fiestas,
beautiful sceneries, and natural formation such as caves and rivers. t
is a popular site for seminars, trainings and national conventions with
its location being at the heart of the country. This provides locators
and end-users a complete one stop tourism experience. To further
enhance and develop its potential as a major tourist destination, the
province will identify and develop potential tourism areas; provide
infrastructure support such as comfort rooms along tourism zones, cell
sites and accommodation facilities; provide support to tourism alliances
in the province and encourage the development and promotion tourism
circuits.
The provincial government will ensure, through proper zoning of cities
and municipalities that tourism development is based on the sound
management of resources and must be sensitive to the local customs
and traditions. t will ensure that tourism development standards are
included in the zoning ordinances and other land regulatory measures
to ensure compliance particularly in the construction of tourism
facilities.
Mining
The province is endowed with substantial and sizeable deposits of
metallic and non-metallic minerals, that when fully exploited with
appropriate technology can contribute significantly to the economic
growth of the province. Presently, there are 141 permit holders from
the 33 municipalities, which cover sand and gravel, earth, rock and
limestone quarry, small scale mining and mineral processing permit.
With this, the province is experiencing massive illegal quarrying.
160
The province will strictly implement Provincial Ordinance No. 2000-39
as amended by Provincial Ordinance No. 2003-029 and Provincial
Ordinance No. 2005-057-A, governing the issuance of permits for the
extraction, taking, removal and disposition of minerals, including but
not limited to ordinary earth, gravel, gravel, sand, guano, gemstone,
pebbles, boulders, other loose or unconsolidated materials and other
quarry resources from public and private lands; imposing tax on the
extracted materials and providing penalties for the violation of certain
provisions thereof. Small-scale mining shall be enhanced by providing
a comprehensive assistance package to include onsite technical,
marketing, financing services and infrastructure development.
Strengthening of mineral law enforcement through coordinative efforts
with various law enforcement agencies such as LGUs, NGOs and POs.
Industry
Business opportunities abound in loilo where industrial centers and
investment areas flourished. Areas of development from the north to
the south mushroomed and flourished because the government and
the private sector have linked arms in investment promotion.
loilo thrust is the establishment of province-wide municipality
dispersed medium, small and medium scale processing and
manufacturing industries designed to utilize local resources and
identification and prioritization of high impact projects for public and
private sector investments.
ndustrial activities will largely be resource-based industries focusing
on processing of agricultural products in line with the thrust of the
province. However, T parks and other high impact investments are
also encouraged. The identification and selection of the industrial sites
should conform to the identified areas for agriculture, the integrated
protected area system of the forestry sector, and in consonance with
sound urban land use planning. Partnering and networking with
161
private/business sector and other stakeholders in investment
promotion.
The province will encourage LGUs to zone their areas in accordance
with actual and potential land uses. The alternative uses for non-
performing industrial areas such as built-up/settlements as the case
maybe, should be guided by the local development and land use plan
based on the suitability, existing and potential industry needs, support
infrastructures and environmental impacts. Over-all location of
industries should be guided by the objective of a market-oriented
dispersal strategy and a common objective as exemplified by the
clustering/alliances of LGUs. Establishment and development of growth
centers and ecozones initiated by LGUs or by the private sector should
be encouraged and promoted.
162
163
164
165
Transport/Infrastructure DeveIopment Framework
As the province's economy grows and expands, access to and from
areas for living and areas for making a living has become critical. Farm
to market roads connecting rural and urban centers are in place.
Existing roads meet the standard of 2.4 per 1000 population to cater
the growing populace and the increasing motorized vehicles. The
province has a total road network of 40,455 km which translates to 0.85
km of road per kilometer
2
of land area or about 2.4 km per 1000
population (excluding national road). Only 7.70 percent are paved
while 92.30 percent are unpaved. Barangay roads constitute 73.96
percent of the unpaved road length. Existing roads needs maintenance
and improvement including road signs and streetlights in significant
areas.
The upgrading and maintenance of existing roads and facilities
including bridges linking the growth centers, tourist destinations and
production areas connecting through the SRNH to support inter and
intra-regional linkages is a priority of the provincial government.
Likewise, road widening, the development of loilo Commercial Port to
meet the international standard and continuous upgrading and
providing of more ports facilities to other major ports and municipal
ports and Ro-Ro facilities, and improvement of the loilo Airport in
Cabatuan and its opening to international flights are also major
concerns.
On water and sanitation, priority concerns are the
construction/rehabilitation of water supply systems, explore other water
sources, formulation and implementation of ordinances to regulate
groundwater extraction, provision of efficient sewerage system in urban
areas.
166
On power, the most pressing concern is the looming power shortage
due to the increase of power demand and low power supply due to the
retirement of old power plants. To address this concern, the provincial
government will explore and develop power generating sources,
preferably indigenous and renewable power sources, Already there are
investments in biomass energy and hydro power plants to augment
the existing power plants. The government will also pursue the
development of power generating plants through the BOT scheme and
related private sector participation, provide base load power plant and
encourage construction and upgrading of transmission facilities.
Major urban centers of the province, including loilo City are flood-
prone areas. The government is now undertaking the construction of
flood control project connecting Tigum and Aganan Rivers to drain at
the loilo Channel. t will also encourage municipalities to improve or
construct river/flood protection as well as encourage the improvement
and cleaning of drainage systems, especially those clogged during
Typhoon Frank. The regulation of quarrying activities, integration of
development interventions and coordination of activities for watershed
rehabilitation and upland development and reforestation are also major
programs/projects that the province will pursue.
The cost of construction of sanitary landfill to implement RA 9003 is a
major constraint under this sector. As of 2008, about 50 percent LGUs
have controlled dumpsite and 59.5 percent have safe closure plan.
Every municipality has materials recovery facilities but few are
functional.
The establishment of an nformation Technology (T) Park to cater to
BPOs is one major project that the province will pursue as it believes
that information communication technology is a major driver of
development. t will also upgrade TELECOM Stations in community e-
centers and encourage the establishment of one-stop shops in
underserved areas in the province.
167
Agriculture is a major contributor to the province's economy. Thus it
will explore other sources for irrigation, regularly maintain the existing
irrigation facilities and encourage investment in irrigation development
and will pursue the construction of the Jalaur River Multi-Purpose
Project Stage to benefit more farmers.
