Based on the 2017 Road Data of the Department of Public Works and Highways
(DPWH), National Roads traversing the territorial jurisdiction of the Province of Batangas
reached a span of over 555.49 km. All of these roads are paved having 137.50 km or
24.77% made of concrete while 417.98km or 75.31% made of asphalt.

Along these roads are 154 National Bridges with a total length of approximately 4,824
linear meters. All of these bridges are permanent in nature, 4,078m or 84.55% of which
are made of concrete while almost 746 m or 15.46% are made of steel.

National Roads and Bridges in the Province generally have good and fair conditions
based on the condition rating made by DPWH. A total of 24.97 m or 4.49% of roads and
6.66 km or 0.14% of bridges remain in bad condition as shown in Figure 17 and 18
respectively. (Refer to annex 8 for the details)

There are a total of 147 provincial bridges in the Province of Batangas as of the year
2017. Around 79% of these are either made up of Reinforced Concrete Design Girder
(RCDG), Concrete or Steel.

The minority of 21% are made up of: 3 baileys, 11 box culverts, 8 flat slabs, 2 spanish
arcs, 4 spillways, and one each of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Pipe, Welded Column
(WC) Pipe and Steel Girder.

All bridges with width varying from 3 to 8 meters are passable except for Sta. Cruz
Bridge which is located at San Pedro-Sta. Cruz Road, Sto. Tomas due to old dilapidated
timber structure. (Refer to annex 10 for the details)

Among the government ports, Batangas International Port in Batangas City is the biggest
and one of Batangas' major assets for development; along with coastlines suitable for
industrial and commercial activities. Conversion of the Port of Batangas into an
International Port of Entry is anticipated to generate massive employment and
investment opportunities.

6.3.3 Water Districts

The Cities of Batangas, Lipa and Tanauan have their own water districts. The
Municipalities of Malvar, Mataasnakahoy and Balete are supplied by Metro Lipa Water
District in Lipa City.

Data for water districts presented are consolidated by the Provincial Planning and
Development Office (PPDO) from the existing water districts and respective local
government units as shown in Table 140. Total connections reported reached 192,124,
where, almost 94% or 180,362 connections are residential while the remaining 6% are
either commercial or industrial.

There are two types of water sources as reported by different Water District, the surface
water source and the ground water source. Surface water and groundwater are both
important sources for community water supply needs. Groundwater is a common source
for single homes and small towns, rivers and lakes are the usual sources for large cities.
Although approximately 98% of liquid fresh water exists as groundwater, much of it
occurs very deep in the Earth. This makes pumping very expensive, preventing the full
development and use of all groundwater resources.

Table 141 shows the water resources of different water districts in the Province. Lobo
and Taysan Water Districts use surface water while the rest are using ground water.

Meanwhile, Table 142 shows the estimated rate of water service in the first 30mᶟ
consumption. Record shows that among the sixteen (16) Water Districts, Agoncillo Water
District has the highest rate ranging from ₱27.20 to ₱36.25 for the first 30mᶟ while
Lemery Water District has the lowest water rate per cubic meter ranging from ₱15.00 to
₱17.50 per cubic meter.

Non-revenue water (NRW) is water that has been produced and is "lost" before it
reaches the customer. Losses can be real losses (through leaks, sometimes also
referred to as physical losses) or apparent losses (for example through theft or metering
inaccuracies). High levels of NRW are detrimental to the financial viability of water
utilities, as well to the quality of water itself. NRW is typically measured as the volume of
water "lost" as a share of net water produced. However, it is sometimes also expressed
as the volume of water "lost" per km of water distribution network per day.

Non-Revenue water and targets are shown in Table 143. Balayan Water District having
the highest percentage of non-revenue water from 55% in 2005 and 54% in 2010
reduced to 44% on the latest data in 2015 and target to trimmed by 20% in 2020 and
18% in 2025.

Some of the factors in water losses are due to unbilled authorized consumption,
Apparent losses (water theft and metering inaccuracies), and Real losses (from
transmission mains, storage facilities, distribution mains or service connections).

Globe Telecom Nasugbu Cable Landing Station (CLS) is Globe Telecom’s first landing
station. Globe started construction of the Batangas cable landing station in October
2000. The actual construction of the building was finished by end-March 2001. Globe
Telecom inaugurated on November 15, 2001 its US$25-million (PhP1.3-billion) cable
landing station and backhaul facility in Nasugbu, Batangas which is part of the
company's participation in the transnational City-to-City (C2C) Cable Network Project.

Globe is both the owner and backhaul provider of this station. Cable Systems in this
facility includes SJC (Southeast Asia Japan Cable) and C2C (City-to-City Cable Network
Project). Most connections to cities from other countries, provided by Globe, use this
facility in Nasugbu, Batangas.

covers several cable systems including Asia-Pacific Cable Network (APCN), Asia-Pacific
Cable Network 2(APCN-2) and South East Asia-Middle East- Western Europe 3 or SEA-
ME- WE 3 (SMW3).

APCN is a Submarine Telecommunications Cable System linking nine (9) Asian

countries. It has landing points in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Hongkong,
Philippines, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.

The APCN-2 is a 19,000-km optical fiber submarine cable system linking Japan, Korea,
China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore in a ring configuration,
with four fiber pairs connecting 10 submarine cable landing stations in Asia region.

The APCN-2 is the first submarine cable system that has a self-healing function in the
Asia Region, and is capable of restoring itself instantly with its ring configuration when a
failure occurs in a part of the system. It has a design capacity of 2.56 Terabytes per
Second (TBps) by operating with 64x10 Gigabytes per Second (Gbps) Dense
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology.

SMW3 is the longest Submarine Cable in the world led by France and China.
