FOREWORD
The revision of the existing COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE

PLAN (CLUP) OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CALATAGAN was prepared
in compliance with the directives of the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) vis-à-vis the exigency arising from the continuous influx
of development in the MUNICIPALITY OF CALATAGAN.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan describes among other things

the physical characteristics of the Municipality in terms of geographical
location, land area, climate, topography, slopes, soils, land capability and its
existing land uses. Maps for easy interpretations illustrate and feature all
theses physical characteristics.
The socio-economic parameters of the different sectoral

components of development are clearly presented and validated by factual
data. The statistical data are exhibited in table form to enable the readers to
easily understand each presentation.
Generally, this document defines goals, objectives and strategies

of the MUNICIPALITY OF CALATAGAN under a ten-year planning period
from the year 2001 to 2010. This comprehensive land use plan adopts
participatory processes in determining the fiscal and institutional action plans
to effectively implement the same using local resources, being supplemented
by external sources.

I. SOCIO – ECONOMIC PROFILE
1.1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The word “Calatagan” is a derivative of the Tagalog word “latag” and

is synonymous to “Kapatagan”. It means a plain or flat portion of land
lying between mountains or hills, thus, Calatagan means a large
expands of wide plain lands.
At the beginning of the century, record shows there were less than
two hundred settlers who chose this flat portion of Batangas because of
its agricultural potentials and its proximity to the sea. Archeological
researches, however, show that there could have been more people
when the Spaniards arrived there in 1890.
The town is the site of the famous historical and archeological

“Calatagan Excavations” whose antique pottery and other utensils
contributed important facts about the culture and activities of the
Filipinos before the coming of the Spaniards. Archeological finds mostly
pottery Chinese origin, dug from six large cemeteries and unearthed by
archeologists Professor Olov T. R. Janse and Professor Robert B. Fox,
as well as conclusion made by Professor H. Otley Bayer, point to
the existence of a sizeable pre – Spanish population in this place. The
same studies suggest that there was direct Chinese trade by water into
Calatagan, and this trade could have centered at a place called Balong –
Bato, where an entrance through the reef which surrounds Calatagan, is
still presently used by vessels coming from Mindoro and Manila.
The land occupied by the Municipality of Calatagan used to be known

as Hacienda de Calatagan; it was acquired by Don Domingo Roxas from
the Spanish crown in 1829. The successors, Don Pedro P. Roxas and
Antonio R. Roxas, continued to develop the land. By the first decade of
the century, it had progressed sufficiently to become a Municipality in
1911, being an independent entity from its mother town called Balayan.
When the properties of the Roxas family which consisted of the

hacienda in Nasugbu and Calatagan were divided among the heirs, the
ownership of Hacienda de Calatagan passed on to the family of Don
Enrique Zobel whose heir continue to own considerable portions of the
original hacienda. However, much of the land was subdivided by Zobels
into residential lots, which were sold to the original occupants at prices
from 20 to 30 centavos per square meter. The uncultivated southern
portions of the property of Don Alfonso Zobel was subdivided into 2.2
hectares parcels and raffled off to bonafide residents of Calatagan at
Philippine currency one hundred pesos (Php100.00) per hectare then.
The concept and spirit of the present day land reform program, may
be said to have started at Calatagan before the subdivisions were made,
as there were no private land ownership while all the lands belonged
either to the Roxas or the Zobels then.
In 1943, the barangays of Baha and Talibayog, which were part of

Balayan were annexed to Calatagan since surveys showed that they are
part of the land titled to the original owner of Hacienda de Calatagan,
this added a big idea for the Municipality.
Subsequently, Calatagan continues to progress and develop to give

its constituents productive and decent human settlements.

1.2.6 SOILS
As per soil report prepared by the Bureau of Soils for the Province of
Batangas, the soil types of Calatagan are the three series namely:
Calumpang, Taal and Sibul.
The soil types are Calumpang Clay Loam, Taal Sandy Loam and
Sibul Clay Loam.
Calumpang clay loam is brownish gray, hard and compact clay loam.
The subsoil is dark gray, stiff and waxy loam to clay. This is found along the
northwestern and western shoreline of the municipality facing China Sea.
Sugarcane is grown regularly every year on this type of soil but the yield is
lower. Proper cultivation and drainage will materially increase the yield per
hectare on this type of soil.
Taal sandy loam consists of brownish gray loose and structure-less

sandy loam soil ranging in depth from forty (40) to fifty (50) centimeters. In
level areas, the surface soil is deeper than in rolling areas. The subsoil
consists of two or more layers of volcanic sand and between these layers is
the light gray sandy loam soil. The substratum is either light gray volcanic
sand or gray volcanic tuff with sands. Corn, upland rice, citrus and other fruit
trees are grown on this type of soil. The upland is used for grazing and
pastures purposes.
Sibul clay loam is fine and granular, somewhat porous when dry, but
sticky when wet. The vegetation of the area is luxuriant, as is always the
case of a limestone region. Sugarcane is planted in large quantity along the
hillsides. They are prevalently found on the northern and eastern portion of
the municipality. Table No. 1.2.6 shows the type of soils and locations.

1.2.7 LAND CAPABILITY
In Calatagan, lands are classified by the Bureau of Soils into the land
capability classes denoted as “Be”, “M” and “De”. These land capability
classes are described as follows:
1. Land Capability Class “Be”
These lands are nearly level to sloping and slightly to

moderately eroded. Observance of erosion control measure and
using easily applied conservation practices are recommended. These
are found on the central portion of the municipality at Barangay
Bucal, Lucsuhin, Real and Sambungan.
2. Land Capability Class “M”
These lands are steep, very severely to excessively eroded or

shallow for cultivation, suited for pasture or forest with effective
management and controls. This class comprises the bulk of the
municipalities land area.
3. Land Capability Class “De”
These lands are sloping at higher gradients that are

characterized as severely eroded. Erosion and fertility are problems.
Observe erosion control measures with very carefully soil
management, especially good crop rotation and complex
conservation practices if the lands are cultivated. These lands, suited
for pasture of forest, are situated along the shores.

4. Corresponding affected land uses such as residential, open grasslands,
swamps, fishponds and bodies of water as well as agricultural were duly
adjusted.
5. Subsequently, in the general land uses, the broad categories of land uses
such as planned unit development, open grasslands,
swamps/fishponds/bodies of water and agricultural will also be included.
Table 1.2.8.A shows the final existing land use tabulation.
6. In the rural land use column on Table 1.2.8.B on built-up areas, the
figures for residential and commercial were also adjusted due to
classification of land uses approved by the Sangguniang Bayan. Existing
land uses and those within Hacienda Bigaa, similar to that of the
Hacienda Calatagan, were considered as planned unit development and
corresponding land uses were accordingly adjusted.
The reclassified lands were considered as tourism areas, due to their

strategic location and as gleaned from the purpose of such
reclassification, they were anchored on tourism potentials of the area.
The reclassified land area inside Hacienda Bigaa from part of the
planned unit development areas and these were correspondingly
deducted from the concerned land use classification.
Finally, Table 1.2.8.A shows the final existing land use data. Data from
the Assessor’s Office formed the basis of all the statistics and
parameters; adjustments were made accordingly in view of the situation
or reclassified lands and delineation of planned unit development as
explained in paragraph 1.2.8.3.
7. AGRICULTURAL AND OPEN GRASSLANDS
The report from the Department of Agriculture showed that the total land
area devoted to crops aggregates to 6,698.0766 hectares only, while
data from Assessor’s office indicated a larger area measuring up to
8,823.2577 was considered and the remaining from the assessor’s data
was classified as open grassland.
1.3 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PARAMETERS
1.3.1.1 DEMOGRAPHY
1.3.1.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The population of a given planning area is considered as a primary

factor and a vital consideration in planning. The development needs of an
area in terms of spatial dimensions and functions, as well as the level of
sector requirements to be provided are primarily determined by its
population size and characteristics.
Thus, a basic step in any planning exercise is the conduct of

comprehensive demographic study. It shall serve as the take-off point in
plan formulation and implementation.
22
1.3.1.1.2 METHODOLOGY
The population study herein presented is based mainly on official

reports of the National Statistics Office supported by the records of the
Local Government Unit.
Using the geometric formula, the 1990 and 2000 National Statistics
Office reports were utilized as base data for population projections from
2001-2010.
1.3.1.1.3 POPULATION GROWTH
The National Census and Statistics Office conducted the first official
census of population in 1903 recording a total of 2,654 persons. The figure
continuously increased to 45,068 more than 16 times the increase of the
first census report in a span of 97 years or an average annual addition of
437 persons per year.
The average growth rates between 1903 to 1928 and 1960 to 1970
marked the highest growth with the rates of 4.98% and 4.45% respectively.
The lowest average growth rates record is 2.14 between 1995-2000.

1.3.1.1.5 AGE-SEX DISTRIBUTION
Analysis of the sex ratio shows that the male-female ratio is 106:100. As of
2001, males constitute 23,768, while females total to 22,383. Sex ratio in both
urban and rural areas tallies with the over-all ratio.
Of the total population of 46,151, 19,301 or 41.82% constitute the child and
youth group (ages 0 to 14); 25,268 or 54.75% comprise the productive or working
age group (ages 15 to 64); and 1,582 or 3.43% are senior citizens (ages 65 and
above).
24
Dependent group composed of the child and youth group, and the senior
populace bracket sum up to 20,883 or 45.25%. With the labor force or productive
working age group of 25,268, the economic dependency ratio is 1:1.21, which
means that there are 100 dependents for every 121 labor force.
With this economic dependency ratio, it can be concluded that the

population is more of a provider. Such situation can be improved and made better
if socio-economic activities are given greater emphasis and made responsive to
the needs of the populace. Introduction of labor intensive income generating
endeavors shall be conducive to giving incentives to the labor force.
Table No. 1.3.1.1.5.A, 1.3.1.1.5.B and 1.3.1.1.5.C show the population by

age group, economic dependency ratio and population by sex.

1.3.1.1.7 POPULATION PROJECTIONS
With the 1990 and 2000 National Statistics Office reports as base
data, the annual growth rate of 0.02403 was derived using the geometric
formula as of follow:
r = Antilog [log P2/P1-1] / t.
The formula, P2 = P1 (1+r) t was used to get the yearly population

projections. The participation rate method was likewise utilized to project
relevant data such as projected population by Barangay, by age group, by
labor force, by sex and by household.
At the end of the planning period in the year 2010, the projected
population will increase to 57,146, of which projected household will grow to
11,429.

Record of previous enrollment shows that the current school year has the
biggest number of enrollees. Decrease in enrollment is evident in school year 1993
– 1994, which registered only a total of 5,091 pupils. Refer to Table No. 1.3.1.2.1.D
for the historical data on enrollment from School Year 1991 – 1997.

There is a total school age population of 12,335. Of this number, 5,952 are
the total elementary should be pupils, which is about 48.25% of the total school
age population and 14.23% of the total population.
The municipality of Calatagan has a high elementary participation rate. It

has a total enrollment of 6,478, which is 109% elementary participation rate. This
indicates that some pupils must have come from barangays of neighboring
municipalities.
1.3.1.2.2 SECONDARY LEVEL
There are three (3) institutions that offer secondary education. One is a
public school at Barangay Lucsuhin and two are private high schools in the
Poblacion, the Calatagan Institute and Our Lady of Carmel School.
There are a total of 2,619 secondary level students with 68 teachers and 50
classrooms. Thus, teacher to student ratio is 1:39 and classroom to student ratio is
1:52. Refer to Table No. 1.3.1.2.2.A.
Data on previous enrollment shows an upward trend from 1991 – 1995.

There is a slight decrease of enrollees in 1996. The decrease could be attributed to
the fact that some students are enrolled in schools at neighboring municipalities of
Balayan, Nasugbu and even up to Metro Manila; while others may have stopped
schooling due to financial constraints.
Secondary level school age population is 3,455 students. Of this number,

2,619 are enrolled. This figure indicates an enrollment participation rate of
secondary level at 76%.
School facilities at the Lucsuhin National High School are inadequate.

Facilities in high schools are being shared with the elementary department. The
library is also being utilized as guidance center.
The Calatagan Institute has an administration room, H.E. room combined

with a shop, canteen, library, guidance center, playground and separate comfort
rooms for male and female.

1.3.1.2.5 DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
Teachers and classroom requirement is determined using the

standard of forty (40) pupils under one (1) teacher in a classroom.
For the elementary level, assumption is 100% enrolment participation

rate; hence using the above standard, there would be enough teachers and
classrooms up to year 2003. However, by the end of the planning period in
2010, a total of one hundred and ninety nine (199) teachers shall have to be
hired and a total of one hundred and ninety nine (199) classrooms have to
be constructed to meet the needs of the projected number of enrollees. See
Table No. 1.3.1.2.5.A as to the existing number of classrooms that need
replacement, repair and improvement.
Considering the current secondary level enrolment with a

participation rate of 76%, target setting approach in enrolment will be used.
Thus, assumption for 2001 – 2006 is 90% EPR and for 2010 95% EPR. The
remaining percentages are assumed to be studying in Balayan, Nasugbu,
Batangas City and Metro Manila.
In terms of classrooms, there is a current need for fifteen (15)

classrooms to meet the standard of one (1) classroom for every forty (40)
pupils. A total of one hundred and ten (110) classrooms are needed to
accommodate the projected enrolment of 4,408 students by year 2010.
As to the teacher requirement, the present number suffices.

However, from 1997 to 2010, additional teachers shall have been hired to
meet the prescribed standard of one (1) teacher for every forty (40)
students. Tables No. 1.3.1.2.5.B and 1.3.1.2.5.C show the projected
enrolment and teacher-classroom requirement for 2001 - 2010.
School feasibility should likewise be looked into. Laboratories and

shops must be provided for effective teaching and learning activities.
Repairs and maintenance of existing classrooms should be made.

In the overall, health situation in the municipality is within acceptable level.
Death rate is minimal both in general and those of infants. Causes of morbidity are
common and can be managed and treated. This indicates a healthy population, as
well as the population capability to maintain a. healthy living.
1.3.1.3.2 HEALTH MANPOWER AND FACILITIES
Health services are taken cared of by three (3) medical facilities such as
Medicare Community Hospital, Sto. Domingo Clinic and Rural Health Unit or
Municipal Health Office with a Barangay health station at Barangay Lucsuhin.
Services offered by the Community Hospital are general, medical,

pediatrics, minor surgical, EENT and obstetrics, gynecology. Program such as free
clinics and information dissemination on health and sanitation are also being

analysis and chemistry are undertaken.
The Sto. Domingo clinic extends medical care and services to emergency
and minor medical cases.
The Rural Health Unit or Municipal Health Office personnel make regular
visits to barangays and hold office alternately in the Poblacion and the station in
Lucsuhin. Activities of the Municipal Health Office include environmental sanitation,
nutrition, family planning, maternal and childcare through lectures, seminars and
dissemination of reading materials. They also implement different programs
sponsored by the Department of Health, such as, OPLAN ALIS DISEASE, the

Since the level of health is also influenced by the services organized and
delivered by the primary health care system. It is imperative to analyze the health
resources so that the programs could be made to cope up with the demands of the
increasing population.
Using the assumption of morbidity in the Philippine Health Development

plan which assumes that 43% of the population will get sick or are morbid annually,
projected medical personnel requirement are considered. Morbid in this context
includes simple cases like colds, headaches, stomachaches and others. Not all
these cases may require treatment but many of them would require consultations.
Other assumptions considered are man-hours required for morbid cases, which is
2.88 times frequency of clinic visit consultations estimated at fifteen (15) minutes
duration of visit per consultations. Standard professional time per medical
personnel is distributed as follows: doctor, four (4) hours; nurse, five (5) hours;
midwife, six (6) hours; vaccinator, seven (7) hours and dentist, five (5) hours. The
given working days for one year is two hundred and seventy two (272) days.
The projected morbid cases, man-hours required and medical manpower is

presented in Table No. 1.3.1.3.3.A and Table No. 1.3.1.3.3.B.

The existing hospital bed population ratio of 1:2,614 is slightly below

standard. At present, it might be tolerable. However, considering the standard ratio
of 1:2,000, there is a current need for five (5) more hospital beds.
By the end of the planning period in the year 2010, the total hospital bed
requirement is estimated to be twenty nine (29) units. This number of hospital beds
may warrant a bigger hospital. Thus the existing community hospital may expand
as may be necessary. The government may also improve services being rendered
by the Municipal Health Office by offering additional health care services and by
providing for hospital beds as well as admission of patients for confinement on
shorter term.
Further improvement of the health services in terms of facilities and

personnel must be the concern of the government, specifically the local
government.
1.3.1.4 SOCIAL WELFARE
Social welfare deals primarily with the upliftment of the socio-economic

status of the impoverished population. Tapping of non-government organizations
involved in civic and community services is another concern of this sector.
1.3.1.4.1 SOCIAL SERVICES
The Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office located at the

municipal building delivers social services to the populace of Calatagan. It is
manned by one (1) social welfare officer, one (1) daycare worker and five (5)
volunteer daycare workers.
As of 1996, there are two identified depressed areas namely, Talibayog and
Carretunan, with a total of 1,656 households. This can be attributed to the
inaccessibility of the areas. See Table No. 1.3.1.4.1.

There are twelve (12) agri-business farms in the area raising cattle,
chicken, horses, swine, carabaos and sheep. See Table Nos. 1.3.2.1.2.D,
1.2.3.1.2.E and 1.3.2.1.2.F for livestock and poultry farms for the years 1994
to 1996. There is a noticeable decrease in animal population from 1994 to
1996 and the closing of a cattle ranch. This can be attributed partly to land
use conversion and development. Market outlets besides the domestic
consumption are Lemery, Nasugbu, Manila and the Province of Laguna.

1.3.2.1.3 FISHERY
Being surrounded by rich fishing grounds, fishing is another major

industry in the area. Likewise, the development of source swampy areas
into fishponds makes the town a rich fishing ground taking in to
consideration the abundance of said resources in the surrounding waters.

eight (48) kilometers or about 25% of ninety five (95) kilometers of total
shoreline of Batangas province. Moreover, it has the most extensive areas
of mangroves and corals as shown on Table No. 1.3.2.1.3.A and 1.3.2.1.3.B

It is estimated that Calatagan contributes more or less 25% of the total fish
catch of the province. Six (6) of top eight (8) species are found in Calatagan
waters. The species caught are Tulingan, Galunggong, Dilis, Tambakul, Guliasan,
Tunsoy, Burador and Samaral.
The potential income per fisherman per month is about Philippine Currency
Five Thousand Six Hundred Twenty Five Pesos (Php 5,625.00) for Calatagan

(Php 300.00/kg.x25 days)
However, the above-mentioned income levels do not hold true for the
majority of the small fishermen, especially those using non-motorized bancas,
because of the problems on over fishing due to the intrusion of commercial fishing
vessel in the municipal water, massive destruction of coral reefs, conversion of
mangroves into fishponds.
Majority of the gears used municipal fishermen are hook / line and gill nets
while some practice the use of dynamite cyanide in catching fish. Present catch
ranges from less than one (1) kilogram and sometimes none to an average
maximum of five (5) kilograms per day.

In Talisay, the fisherfolks have formed an organization known as
Samahan ng Magkakapit Bahay Sa Baybay or Samahan ng Bantay Dagat
which is organizational expression in attending to their problems. They
participated in the provincial dialogue in Batangas City concerning the
banning of commercial fishing vessel in the municipal water. With regard to
the problem of dynamite fishing, members of the organization with the
participation of the Barangay council conduct arrest of those engaged in
illegal fishing activities.
The coastal community of Hukay, composed of full time fishermen,

full time farmers and farmers-fishers, has two (2) main organizations; the
Samahan Ng Kapisanan ng Magsasaka, and a fisherfolk organization. The
crucial problem of the residents is the impending demolition of their houses,
although the issue of declining fish catch of equal importance.

1.3.2.2.2 PUBLIC MARKET
The central businbess district of Calatagan is located along Sto.

Domingo Street and Ayala Street. The Poblacion Public Market is located in
this area and it serves as the major hub of commerce occupying an area of
1,500 square meters.
There are two other markets in the rural area namely Bigaa Market in
Barangay Gulod and another in the nodal growth of Barangay Lucsuhin.
1.3.2.2.3 INDUSTRY
The sole industrial establishment in the area is an ice plant in

Barangay Gulod.
Despite the presence of a commercial district and three (3) markets

in Calatagan, there is still a need to diversify the present structure of
business to sufficiently cater to the growing demands of the populace. The
development of minor commercial nodes should be encouraged, especially
in the tourism barangays.
In line with the agro-industrialization thrust of the area, Barangay

Talibayog is identified to be the general industrial district. The establishment
of industrial firms will not only increase total revenues but also employ many
residents. However, this also poses pollution problems. Strict compliance in
the use of anti-pollution devices and measures by all industrial and agro-
industrial establishments should be imposed by the local government in
coordination with the National Pollution Control Commission (NPCC).
85
The spatial allocation for both commercial and industrial use will also
inquire the provision for support facilities such as roads, water and power
services.
The commercial and industrial land requirements in designated areas

are discussed in detail on Land Use.
1.3.2.3 TOURISM

DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
Considering that the present resorts cater mostly to the foreign

tourists, the local government should look into the affordability level of the
local tourists. Enterprising investors for low budgeted local and national
tourist can venture into some tourist spots. The local government should
spur the thrust develop other potential tourist spots to provide recreation,
outdoor activities and picnic sights for the local populace.
Private citizens/entrepreneurs should be encouraged to invest in

lodging places/apartelles within the affordability level of the local tourists.
1.3.2.4 INFRASTRUCTURE / UTILITIES
1.3.2.4.1 TRANSPORTATION
1.3.2.4.1.1 CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The existing internal circulation system of Calatagan is a network of

linear and circumferential roads which links various settlements of the town
and other functional areas.
The National Highway is the main ingress and egress of the
municipality. Connected to the main road are the provincial roads going to
the northeastern and southern part, as well as the Barangay roads in the
northern part of the municipality. The other barangays are linked to the town
centers by the provincial roads: one, which intersects at Barangay Lucsuhin
and the other that connects to the Poblacion proper.
1.3.2.4.1.2 ROAD NETWORK
As of 1996, the total length of the road network in the municipality is

registered at 151,948 kilometers which is distributed over a total land area
of 13,897.7711 hectares. This shows that there is a road density of 10.93
kilometers per 1,000 hectares.
The road system is classified as Nationa (12 kilometers); Provincial
(35.69 kilometers); Municipal (8.17 kilometers) and Barangay (96.08
kilometers) roads.
With regards to the type of pavements, 77% are unpaved. 13% are

1.3.2.4.1.4 MODE OF TRANSPORTATION
The Batangas Laguna Tayabas Bus Company (BLTBCO) is the sole

public utility bus plying the route of Calatagan – Manila and vice versa.
Other public utility transports include jeepneys and tricycles.
Shuttle buses are used in transporting both foreign and local tourists
and they operate on schedules for exclusive service trips to well-known
resorts in the area.
Others are privately owned vehicles.
1.3.2.4.1.5 TRAFFIC FLOW
Traffic flow in Calatagan is generally light and smooth at all times.
1.3.2.4.1.6 UTILITIES

90
1.3.2.4.1.7 DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
With a total road length of 151.948 kilometers and an area of

13,897.7711 hectares, the existing road-land ratio is 1.09 kilometers per 100
hectares. In comparison to the standard ratio of 1 kilometer per 100
hectares, it shows that the municipality is above the general standard.
Exceeding the standard, however, does not mean that road construction
shall not be conducted. This will actually depend on the need that will arise
in the coming years.
The barangay roads appear to be needing priority attention with

regards to road improvement and maintenance, as mentioned earlier,
majority are unpaved or still gravel/earth-filled. Parts of the provincial road
should likewise be upgraded being the inter-linking segment of the barangay
roads. Improvement of such roads will improve the accessibility and mobility
of residents in the rural portion.
Although majority of the national and municipal roads is generally in

good condition, it is essential that they be properly maintained to ensure
convenience and safety for the commuting public and motorists.
Lastly, the local government should aim at improving all its external
and internal linkages in order to facilitate smooth marketing flow of goods
and commerce, as well as to provide convenience to the commuting public
and promote tourism in the area.
1.3.2.5 WATER
At present, there is no waterworks system in the municipality. People

procure water from sources like shallow wells, artesian wells and deep
wells.
For water demand in the golf courses in the different resorts, water is
being recycled to maintain their facilities.
Resorts and other establishments have their own water tanks to

supply the needs of their clientele. Other residents have installed hand-
pumps for their domestic use.
A municipal waterworks system is deemed necessary. Since the

municipality has a shallow water table, water supply for drinking and other
uses is not a problem. In establishing the waterworks system, due
consideration should be made on resorts with golf courses. An 18-hole golf
course could consume water enough to supply five (5) barangays. Thus,
management of these establishments should be consulted. Table No.
1.3.2.5.2 shows the projected water demand for domestic purposes only,
using the standard of seventy five (75) liter per capita per day.
The local government should look into the water requirement of

prospective industries to be put up in the municipality.
Identification and conservation of other possible sources of water

supply should be given due course.

A total of 1,656 households is considered to be composed of the

blighted areas in the municipalities. Some of these households could be
found along the shorelines. These blighted areas are situated in the
barangays of Real, Encarnacion, Talisay, Talibayog and Carretunan.
One of the requirements of a well-planned community is an effective

and adequate drainage system. This may consist of open canals or closed
conduct type of storm drainage system, but it must be so designed to
handle a given storm magnitude.
Since there exists an efficient garbage collection system, strict

enforcement of an ordinance on anti-littering and indiscriminate dumping of
garbage including human and animal wastes into creeks and rivers should
be implemented. There is a need to identify a new dumpsite outside of the
Poblacion area. A total of 1.9049 hectares of land in the rural area is suited
for the purpose up to the end of the planning period in the year 2010.
Environmentally critical areas like fishponds, swamplands and

beaches should be maintained and preserved for food production and
recreational or tourism purposes.
The identified blighted areas should be the concern of the

municipality. They should be relocated to livable and viable human
settlements.

1. Since the function is expressly mandated to the Sangguniang Bayan, only said Body can
delegate performance of the function. Responsibility centers need to be given authority
by the Sangguniang Bayan to do so. There should be legal basis for their action.

Development Coordinator or the Municipal Engineers Office. Both for Preliminary
Approval of Locational Clearance (PALC) and Development Permit (DP); the
processing office must be provided with either the necessary architectural or
engineering details and construction documents. Preliminary Approval of Locational
Clearance (PALC) can be dispensed with; nevertheless, all the processing and
evaluation pointers in the Preliminary Approval of Locational Clearance (PALC) will
be considered in the Development Permit (DP), as if Preliminary Approval of
Locational Clearance (PALC) is also being evaluated; however, the end decision is a
Development Permit (DP).
3. These activities shall be done assuming all requirements are present and complied with.

3.2.3 INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Although there is an increasing trend in gross income, net income from

operation decreases due to their increase in projects implemented, services
delivered and manpower expansion.
With the proposed developments embodied in the socio-economic plan and

integrated in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance, the
municipality can realize a higher income in the coming years. The projected
increase in revenues and receipts will enable the local government to cope with the
expenditure requirement within the planning period.
Recommend measures to realize revenue increase are as follows:
1. Strict enforcement of all revenue laws.
142
2. Adoption of ordinance regarding schedule of fees and fines on devolved
functions.
3. Continuous study on other possible sources of revenue.
4. Ensure that the budget and investment plan are reflective of the needs and
demands of the constituents and carry out this development plan for the area.
5. Consider the Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance for tax valuation purposes.
6. Conduct massive information drive and educational campaign for tax
consciousness and responsibility over debts from the local government in the
use of facilities managed by the government.
General government expenditures account an average of 47.55% of the total

expenditures. Other expenditures are for public welfare, economic development,
operation of economic enterprises, inter-government aid and capital outlays.

IV. LAND USE
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Land Use Planning is the proper management of land resources to achieve

sustainable economic development in order to promote and safeguard the general
welfare of the people.
The study of the existing land uses as well as the pattern of growth
development is of primary importance in the process. Factors affecting the
emerging trend are equally of vital significance. These do not only provide the
proper setting for future spatial dimension but likewise serve as basic premises in
the allocation of adequate and suitable land requirement and the identification of
appropriate sites of different functional land uses.
4.2 METHODOLOGY
To ascertain existing land uses, the following activities were undertaken.

The assessment of the present uses was conducted through windshield survey
utilizing the consolidated cadastral map; the determination of the degree of
implementation of ratified land use [plan and zoning ordinance, and, updating and
verification of the existing land uses used by the Assessor’s Office.
General land uses are classified into built-up, industrial, agricultural, open
grassland, bodies of water, tourism and planned unit development. Built-up area is
composed of a cluster of at least ten (10) structures regardless of specific use of
activity occupying sizeable land area of at least one hectare. Instead, these are
included in the dominant use where they are found. Urban land uses are categorized
into residential, commercial, institutional, functional open spaces, tourism,
agricultural, planned unit development and bodies of water. Areas considered as
planned unit development will have its own development plan provided the uses
will conform with the adjacent uses and that all necessary permits and clearances
will be obtained prior to development.
In response to private investors with the end-in-view of propelling economic

growth in the municipality, several land classifications were enacted by the
legislative body. The following resolutions and the lots reclassified were:

All the above lands are considered existing land uses pursuant to the land
use classification provided in each resolution.
4.3 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
The following are the viable factors taken into consideration in the
formulation of the land use plan within the planning period, 1997 – 2006.
4.3.1 POPULATION
Growth pattern of the population was taken into consideration, as most of

the normal development needs of an area are determined in accordance with the
projected population figures. Demographic study earlier presented reveals that
Calatagan’s current (1996) population of 41,823 is expected to reach 54,895 at the
end of the planning period, 2006.
4.3.2 NATURAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Analysis of the town’s natural and physical characteristics such as

topography, climate, land capability, soil suitability, hydro geologic features,
natural drainage, erosion potential and flooding hazards were taken into
consideration.
4.3.3 SECTORAL REQUIREMENTS
Assessment of existing and projected sectoral requirements/needs was

integrated and translated to spatial dimension.
4.3.4 TREND OF DEVELOPMENT
The existing trend of developments in the town as well as in the adjoining

municipalities which was obtained during the actual land use survey and interviews
was also incorporated in the plan.
4.3.5 LAND USE PLANNING POLICIES
The various government projects/policies to land use planning such as:

1. P.D. 815, which controls the conversion of tenanted agricultural land to normal
agricultural uses.
2. P.D. 1067, known as Water Code of the Philippines.
3. Other relevant Presidential Decrees and Letter of Instructions.
4.3.6 FUNCTIONAL ROLE OF THE AREA
Being strategically located in the southwestern portion of the Province of

Batangas, the Municipality of Calatagan is considered a peripheral or frontier of the
province. In-migration is notable in the area. It functions as a link of mainland
Luzon to the southern islands. The existing pier at the southern tip of the Poblacion
serves as the port of entry from Lubang Island, Occidental Mindoro. Water vessels
from all points, even as far as Mindoro, dock at any port facilities in the
municipality. This is because of the presence of natural harbors in the area facing
South China Sea.
147
Calatagan is generally an agricultural area engaged in crop production,
primarily of sugar cane and fisheries being surrounded by sea water. These
economic activities are the primary livelihood sources of most residents.
Tourism is the leading development sector of Calatagan. The presence of the

beautiful strip of virgin beaches, exotic marine life, delicate beauty of untouched
nature and scenic view in the municipality, enhance tourism. The prime tourist
attractions are the hotel-resorts nestled over sprawling hillsides overlooking
Balayan Bay and South China Sea are excellent tourism boosters.
The Planned Unit Development areas, Hacienda Bigaa and Hacienda

Calatagan, are additional tourist attractions, as well as, economic catalyst in the
area.
Industrial development is another thrust of Calatagan. The eastern end of the

municipality, particularly Barangays Baha and Talibayog, was identified as
industrial areas.
The plan then must be able to propose sustainable and equitable utilization
of land resources. There should be balance between economic opportunities and
land use utilization so as to ensure a better and comfortable life of the populace.
4.4 EXISTING LAND USE
Calatagan, a peninsula, is located in the southwestern part of the province.

The town just southward towards the Verde Island Passage, a meeting point of
China Sea and Pagapas Bay. The town is skirted by Pagapas Bay on the west and

55% of the total land area. Soil types are Calumpang Clay Loam, Taal Sandy Loam
and Sibul Clay Loam.
It has a total land area of 10,527.8890 hectares of which 743.2189 hectares

constitute the urban area. With gross current (2000) population of 45,068, the gross
density is four (4) persons per hectare. Urban density is ten (10) persons per hectare
while rural density is four (4) persons per hectare.
The municipality is composed of twenty one (21) rural and four (4) urban
barangays. Nodal growth barangays are Lucsuhin on the central eastern part,
Balibago on the northern portion and Sta. Ana on the southern part.
Agricultural production is generally the main productive use of the land in

Calatagan with sugarcane as the primary agricultural crop. Swampy areas are
converted into fishponds; consequently, making the town a rich fishing ground
taking into consideration, the surrounding bodies of water which abounds with the
said natural resources.
Planned Unit Development areas located in Barangay Lucsuhin, Balitoc,

Gulod and the eastern end of the Poblacion should seriously consider environmental
and ecological factors in developing the areas.
