Ma’am,
In partial of the requirement leading to the degree in Bachelor of Science in Architecture, I hereby
submit the title of my thesis. “Eco-Trivaney: A Proposed Sustainable and Centralized Transport Terminal
with Public Market in Tayabas City” to be located at Tayabas to Lucena Road in Brgy. Wakas, Tayabas City,
Quezon Province.
The proposed title project refers to the construction of a new market and a central terminal for the so-
called "Trivaney" or tricycle, van and jeepney that will serve as a means of reducing traffic within the poblacion
of the city. This three lightly vehicles are the most common contributor of traffic in Tayabas. According to
Cambridge University Press, “the term “eco” and “sustainable” in my thesis title tends to sustain or maintain to
not damage the environment or to use the resources of the proposed site so that the resources cannot be
depleted or wasted”, also through by using sustainable methods like: rainwater harvesting system, putting
skylight, and photovoltaic solar panels, providing interior courtyard, and using non-toxic, sustainable, and eco-
friendly local materials. According to EO 648 of HLURB Rule I, “the government should manage or operate the
public market intended to serve the general public”. It will be become a sustainable project through the
completeness of the facility for the public market and terminal which will be funded and sponsored by the local
government. According to the Bureau of Local Government Finance, the annual regular revenue of Tayabas
City for the fiscal year of 2016 was ₱488,476,468.48. And its population based on 2015 Census, the city has
99,779 people and ranked in national as 166 out of 1,634 in combined numbers of cities and municipalities in
the Philippines,(Philatlas, 2019). The city’s population, economy, and development are growing faster, by that,
the needs and demand of the city's food production are increasingly which often causes a heavy traffic
especially by the Tayabas Public market area where also within the perimeter of the poblacion and by the small
or narrow roads which are usually one to two ways only. Additionally, based on the observation of the
researcher, during class day in Tayabas East Central Elementary School which can be located before the main
entrance of the city, the number of vehicles also increased which causes again a long run time of traffic. The
terminals of tricycle, van and jeepney are separately and insufficient distributed in some areas, in accordance
to this, the proposed plan is to transfer the existing terminals in the proposed site in Brgy. Wakas, where there
is a Tayabas Bypass Road that connects in different barangays, municipalities and cities, which can be used
for the easier access of transportation, goods and services and it helps to lessen the traffic and pollution in the
poblacion.
Aside from that, Manolo Labitigan, acting as executive assistant to the mayor, said that “the city
government will be converting the present public market area into a commercial district area to be leased to
private traders and investors, while a 3-hectare new city public market building will be constructed in Barangay
Wakas” because the current Tayabas public market are small, dirty, stinking, deteriorating, and unorganized
circulation of activities that causes severe effects in health, safety, and the lifestyle of the buyers or consumers
and even the vendors or producers. August 25, 2019 at 10:30 in the morning, the researcher visited the
existing terminals and conducted an interview, with a question of “Are you in favour of transferring the existing
public market and terminal in the proposed location of the local government in Brgy. Wakas, Tayabas City?”
Nine(9) out of Fifteen(15) respondents or 60% of the subject persons are in favour to have a new public market
and centralized transport terminal, which according to them, they are willing to cooperate by the plan of the city
mayor and they have no choice just to follow the regulation of the city ordinance just for the beauty,
cleanliness, and orderliness. The other four(4) persons or 26.67% are not in totally in favour for the new
development because it will be become far or away from the central where 29,933 people are living within the
circumference of the city poblacion. And the remaining two (2) or 13.33% respondents are undecided whether
in favour or not. And if the proposed plan for the new city market is constructed, it will be beneficial in other
remote areas, especially, for those people who never been bought products in the existing public market. The
purpose of this project is to be closed in some areas who are does not experienced the support of the local
government and to promote the city’s products, culture, and services through the interchanging and
interconnecting of public commuters, students, skilled workers, and business investors by the transport system
to the neighbourhood places.

I look forward to your consideration and approval.

Respectfully,

Dan Matthew D. Mapacpac
