SLOGAN/GUIDING PRINCIPLE: “RISE HIGH LAGUNA”
1|P age
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROVINCE
The province of Laguna was named after the Laguna de Bay, the body of water that
forms its northern boundary. Laguna de Bay, in return, was named after the town of Bay, the
first provincial capital. Captain Juan de Salcedo with a band of one hundred Spanish-Mexican
soldiers and many Bisayan allies conquered the province and its surrounding regions for Spain
in 1571. On July 28, 1571, Laguna was established as a province. Seven years later, two
Franciscan friars started the work of Christianization.
In 1577, the Franciscan missionaries arrived in Manila, and, thereafter, in 1578 they
started evangelizing Laguna, Rizal, Tayabas (now Quezon) and the Bicol Peninsula. Fathers
Juan de Placencia and Diego de Orepesa were the earliest Franciscans sent to these places.
From 1580, the towns of Bay, Caliraya, Majayjay, Nagcarlan, Liliw, Pila, Santa Cruz, Lumban,
Pangil and Siniloan were founded. In 1678, fray Hernando Cabrera founded San Pablo de los
Montes (now San Pablo City) and built a wooden church and convent considered as the best
and finest in the province.
In 1670, delimitation of borders were made Lucban, Majayjay and Cavinti. The
populous town at that time was Bay, the capital of the province until 1688, when the seat of
the provincial government was moved to Pagsanjan, and later in 1858, to Santa Cruz. In 1754,
the Province of Laguna and Tayabas were divided, with the Malinao River separating the towns
of Majayjay and Lucban.
The province became a bloody battle ground for the Chinese during the two instances
that they rose in revolt against Spain. In 1603’s, the Chinese made their last stand in the
mountains of San Pablo, and in 1639, they fortified themselves in the highlands of Cavinti and
Lumban, surrendering in Pagsanjan a year later.
The loyalty of the people of Laguna to the crown was tested during the British invasion
(1762-1764) when thousands of Filipinos railed to its defense. When a detachment of British
troops under Captain Thomas Backhouse entered the province in search of the silver cargo of
the galleon Filipino, Francisco de San Juan of Pagsanjan led a band of volunteers that fought
them in several engagements in and around the town which was then the provincial capital
(1688-1858). Captain Backhouse plundered the town and burned its newly reconstructed
church but San Juan succeeded in escaping with the precious hoard to Pampanga where the
treasure greatly bolstered the defense effort of Simon Anda. For his heroism, San Juan was
made a bridgade commander and alcalde mayor of Tayabas (now Quezon) province.
If Filipino loyalty gradually degenerated into bitter hostility, it was the fault of the
Spaniards themselves, including the clergy. They perpetrated such grave abuses that the
resentment of the Filipinos was fanned into a rising flood of nationalism. In 1840 for instance,
religious intolerance led the people of Majayjay, Nagcarlan, Bay and Biñan to join the revolt
of Hermano Pule (Apolinario de la Cruz) of Lucban, Tayabas. The persecution of Dr. Jose
Rizal and his parents toward the end of century further aggravated the situation, so that by
1896, thousands of patriotic inhabitants, especially of Bay, Los Baños, Nagcarlan, Magdalena,
Santa Cruz and Pagsanjan had joined the revolutionary Katipunan.
2|P age
Laguna was one of the eight provinces to rise in revolt against the Spanish misrule led
by Generals Paciano Rizal of Calamba, Severino Taino of Pagsanjan, Agueda Kahabagan
(woman general) of Calauan and Miguel Malvar of Batangas. The ill-equipped Filipino forces
fought the well-armed enemy until on August 31, 1898, when the last Spanish garrison
surrendered to the victorious patriots in Santa Cruz. The province was cleared of Spaniards.
There had been only one respite, the Pact of Biac-na-Bato on December 14-15, 1897.
Laguna actively supported the first Philippine republic proclaimed at Malolos on

January 23, 1899. Her two delegates to the Malolos Congress, Don Higino Benitez and Don
Graciano Cordero, were natives of Pagsanjan.
Upon the outbreak of the Filipino-American War (1899-1901), General Juan Cailles
and General Paciano Rizal led the defense of Laguna until June 30, 1901, when surrender
became inevitable. Cailles became the first Filipino Governor of Laguna under the American
flag.
The province of Laguna progresses rapidly in peace. Roads were built, schools were
established, and in 1917, the Manila Railroad Company extends its line to Laguna as far as
Pagsanjan.
During the Japanese occupation (1942-1945), Laguna was a center of resistance despite
the presence of Makapili traitors.
Today, peopled by 3,035,081 (2015 Census of Population) industrious citizens and

possessing a total area of 175,973 hectares of land, Laguna produces millions of pesos worth
of coconuts, rice, sugar, citrus fruits, lanzones and other products. Tourists flock to its beauty
spots, especially Pagsanjan Falls, Los Baños Hot Springs, Makiling National park, Sampaloc
Lake and many others.

II. GEO - PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
LOCATION
The Province of Laguna is located directly at the southern end of Rizal province and is
about thirty (30) kilometers south of Metro Manila. It is bounded in the east by the mighty
Sierra Madre Range, Quezon Province in the south, and on the north-western part are the
provinces of Batangas and Cavite.
LAND AREA
With a total land area of 175,973 hectares or 1,759.73 square kilometers, Laguna is
considered as the second smallest province of Region IV-A (CALABARZON).
From the twenty-four (24) municipalities and six (6) cities, eighteen (18) belongs to the
lakeshore namely: San Pedro City, Biñan City, Sta. Rosa City, Cabuyao City, Calamba City,
Los Baños, Bay, Calauan, Victoria, Pila, Sta. Cruz, Lumban, Kalayaan, Pangil, Pakil, Paete,
Siniloan and Mabitac. The lakeshore areas have total coastal length of 109.2 kilometers or
about 49.64 percent of the total coastal length of Laguna de Bay.
POLITICAL SUBDIVISION
The province has twenty-four (24) municipalities, six cities, and 681 barangays; it is
divided into five legislative districts. Last January 2010, the City of Binan became a chartered
city, followed by Cabuyao and San Pedro in Laguna increasing the number of cities to six and
reducing the number of municipalities to 24.
Through the Republic Act No. 10658, the City of Biñan separated from the first
legislative district of the Province of Laguna. Biñan City became a lone legislative district, a
newly created district out from the current first legislative district. Biñan City has a total land
area of 4,350 hectares or 2.5 percent of the province’s total land area.
The cities of San Pedro and Santa Rosa will remain in the first district with a total land
area of 6,710 hectares or about 3.8 percent of the province’s total land area.
The Second District is composed of two cities and two municipalities (Cabuyao City,
Calamba City, Los Baños and Bay) with a total land area of 33,280 hectares or 18.9 percent of
the total land area of Laguna. On the other hand, the Third District is made up of six
municipalities and one city (San Pablo City). The combined land area totals 51,323 hectares or
29.2 percent of the total land area of the province.
Lastly, the Fourth District is geographically the biggest district in Laguna; it consists
of 16 municipalities and has a total land area of 80,310 hectares or 45.6 percent of the total
land area of the province.

TOPOGRAPHY AND SLOPE
The terrain in Laguna consists mainly of narrow plains extending along the eastern,
southern and western shores of Laguna de Bay. A few elevated portions are found in the
northwestern part with Mt. Makiling and Mt. Banahaw, which are the highest points in the
province. On its southwestern portion is the legendary Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve.
The slope classification in Laguna is categorized into the following: gently sloping to
undulating; level to nearly level; moderately sloping to undulating; steep hills and mountains;
strongly sloping to moderately steep; and very steep hills and mountains.
LAND AND WATER RESOURCES
Laguna has eleven lakes, which comprise of Laguna Lake, Caliraya Lake, Lumot Lake,
Alligator Lake in Tadlac, Los Banos and the seven lakes of San Pablo City (Sampaloc, Bunot,
Palakpakin, Pandin, Mohicap, Calibato and Yambo). The province has twenty-three (23) major
river systems. Table No. 2 lists the rivers that can be found in the province with its corresponding
area and species produced.
Laguna Lake, the largest living lake in Southeast Asia, serves as a catchment basin of the
major river systems and is also the source of fresh water fishes such as tilapia, dalag, kanduli, hito,
biya, and ayungin, among others, which generate income for small-scale fisherfolks.
Caliraya Lake and Lumot Lake, manmade lakes in the country, support the Kalayaan
Hydroelectric Power Plant of the Caliraya-Botocan-Kalayaan Power Company Ltd. and generates
electricity for the Luzon grid. Several resorts abound the surroundings of the lake which cater to
local and foreign tourists.
The major river systems in the province ultimately drain into the Laguna Lake, of which
eight of them support the national irrigation systems of National Irrigation Administration (NIA).
These rivers traverse most of the municipalities in the province. They are the source of water for
irrigation and domestic purposes and freshwater fishes such as tilapia, dalag, kanduli, hito for local
consumption.
It is fed by 45,000 square kilometers of catchment areas and its 21 major tributaries and a
single outlet into Manila Bay through the Napindan Channel. Among the tributaries are the
Pagsanjan River which is the source of 35% of the lake's water, the Sta. Cruz River which is the
source of 15% of the lake's water, the Balanac River, the Marikina River, the Mangangate River,
8|P age
the Tunasan River, the San Pedro River, the Cabuyao River, the San Cristobal River, the San Juan
River, the Bay, Calo and Maitim rivers in Bay, the Molawin, Dampalit River, Pele River in Los
Baños, the Pangil River, the Tanay River, the Morong River, the Siniloan River, and the Sapang
Baho River. Seventeen of these tributaries are within the jurisdiction of Laguna province.
Laguna shares with Quezon Province the jurisdiction of national park Banahaw-San
Cristobal with the area of 3,422 hectares. There is also a protected area under Proclamation 1636
which is the Game Refuge and Wildlife Sanctuary with an area of 34,681 hectares. The Protected
Area Management Board (PAMB), a policy making body was organized to effectively manage
these protected areas.
WATERSHED
Laguna has two proclaimed watersheds namely the Caliraya-Lumot Watershed

Reservation and the Makiling Banahaw Watershed Reservation. The Caliraya-Lumot watershed
covers the municipalities of Lumban, Kalayaan and Cavinti. It has a land area of 10,771 hectares
that is covered by Proclamation No. 573 dated June 26, 1969. On the other hand, the Makiling
Banahaw watershed with a total land area of 162 hectares encompasses the provinces of Laguna,
Quezon and Batangas. It was declared a watershed reservation through Proclamation No. 1111
dated February 21, 1973.

GEOLOGY
Laguna is underlain by Quaternary rocks of volcanic origin. The flanks and peaks of
volcanic centry are covered by flow rocks, while the lower elevation is mostly covered with
pyroclastic and tuffaceous sedimentary rocks. Recent alluvium comprises the southern shores of
Laguna de Bay.
Aside from volcanic activity, the physiography of Laguna is affected by the movement
along Marikina and Lipa faults. Although some lateral movements along these faults are apparent,
vertical movements along the sides towards Laguna de Bay is downthrown relative to the outer
block.
As shown in the Geology Map, the relatively flat areas are underlain by recent alluvium,
rolling to moderately sloping areas by pyroclastic deposits, and the moderately steep to steep areas
by quaternary volcanics.

SOIL CHARACTERISTICS
Laguna has three soil types namely soils of the fresh water marshes; soils of the plains; and
soils of the rolling areas, hills and mountains.
Based on the genetical and morphological characteristics of the profile and texture of the
soil surface, these soil types are further classified by soil series, soil types and phases suited to
various crops and other uses.
Most soil types in the province are of the rolling areas, hills and mountains, which are
estimated at 154,592.9 hectares, or 82.66 percent. These are more suitable for growing trees, citrus
and upland crops. The soil type with the least hectarage comprises soils of the fresh water marshes,
which is about 4,899 hectares or 2.62 percent. Lastly, about 27,525.70 hectares (14.72 percent) are
soils of the plains suitable for rice, corn and vegetables production.
SOIL AND SOIL TYPE
Two general types of soil are found in the province due to its geographical location. Laguna
stands in a region between Southeastern Luzon which is a volcanic active area and Central
Northern Luzon. The soil on the northeast part of the Laguna mainly comes from igneous rocks
while the soil on southwest portion of the province is made up of volcanic tuff deposited
geologically. Lipa loam is the dominant soil series type of the province. (Source: DA Calabarzon

MINERAL RESOURCES
There are no reported metallic mineral deposits in Laguna. However, the province has non-
metallic mineral deposit, such as aggregate, boulders, filling materials, garden soil, sand and
gravel, which are located in the municipalities of Lumban, Magdalena, Santa Cruz and Pakil, and
the cities of Calamba and San Pablo. Quarrying and soil extraction are confined in private lands,
and are strictly prohibited in major river systems and public lands of the province.
CLIMATE
The province is relatively dry from November to April, and wet during the rest of the year,
particularly in areas near the southern boundary. The other parts, particularly west of Sta. Cruz,
experience dry season from November to April and rainy season during the rest of the year. The
eastern and southernmost portions of the province do not have a distinct season, but have rainfall
more evenly distributed throughout the year.
Due to favourable weather conditions in Laguna and neighbouring provinces, tourists from
Manila flock to its hot spring resorts and scenic spots. Laguna is not only famous in the production
of staple food crops like corn and rice, but also in fruits like lanzones and chico that rarely grow
in other parts of the country.
Rainfall occurs frequently during the months of May to November. Generally, the month
of August has the highest precipitation. It is from June to November that the coastal areas most
often experience rainfall. The average annual rainfall in Laguna is approximately 225.3 cubic
centimetres, whereas the average annual rainfall over the lake area is 1.986 cubic millimetres.
PROJECTED CLIMATE CHANGE (TEMPERATURE AND RAINFALL)
Seasonal temperature in Laguna increases in ⁰C in 2020 under medium range emission

scenario shall be 0.9 ⁰C in months of December to January; 1.1⁰C in May, June and July; 1.0 ⁰C in
June to August; and 0.9 ⁰C in September to November. This shall entail more frequent hot
temperatures in the province of Laguna especially during summertime. This was based on the
study of Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration
(PAGASA).

PROTECTION AREAS
A. NIPAS
Republic Act No. 7586, otherwise known as the NIPAS Act (National Integrated Protected
Areas System), provides for the establishment of a comprehensive system of integrated protected
areas classified as national parks to secure for the Filipino people of present and future generations
the perpetual existence of all nature plants and animals.
The Mt. Banahaw-San Cristobal Protected Landscape is located within the

municipalities/cities of San Pablo, Rizal, Nagcarlan, Liliw and Majayjay with a total area of 3,152
hectares. The area has rich soil suited for seasonal crops like tomatoes, cabbages, chayote, etc.
Also, natural springs and waterfalls are located in the area.
Under Proclamation 1636, 5,000 hectares of land situated in the municipalities of Santa
Maria, Famy, Siniloan, Pangil, Pakil and Paete is declared National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary and
Game Preserve Reservation. Various flora and fauna are abundantly present in the area.
One thousand one hundred (1,100) hectares of land, which is part of the U.P. Land Grant
situated in the municipalities of Pangil and Siniloan and the U.P. Dairy Farm in Paete, Laguna
with an area of 3,500 hectares are protected areas identified by the Department of the Environment
and Natural Resources.
The Pagsanjan Gorge National Park has an area of 153 hectares situated in the
municipalities of Pagsanjan and Cavinti. This is where the famous Pagsanjan Falls and shooting
the rapids are located. The park reserve has been under the administrative jurisdiction of the
Tourism Authority since 1976.
By virtue of Proclamation No. 573, the Caliraya-Lumot Rivers Forest Reserve in the towns
of Lumban & Cavinti was established with an aggregate area of 11,999 hectares. Executive Order
No. 224 transferred the administration of the reserve to the National Power Corporation or
NAPOCOR.
Another area that needs to be protected is the communal forests found in the municipalities
of Pangil, Pakil, Cavinti, Kalayaan, Famy, Santa Maria and Luisiana.
The Civil/Military reservations in Los Baños comprises an area of 4.60 hectares. Aside
from this, the Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve is 4,244 hectares within Mt. Makiling and extends
across the municipalities of Los Baños, Calamba and Bay. Mt. Makiling, known for its beauty
and richness, also serves as a scientific training ground and research laboratory. Furthermore, it
is a major tourist attraction for local and foreign tourists. About 1,100 families depend their
livelihood from the mountain. Aside from this, the U.P. College of Forestry and Natural Resources
is located at the foot of the mountain. Pursuant to Republic Act No. 6967, the University of the
Philippines at Los Baños is vested with the mandate on the management of Mt. Makiling Forest
Reserve.
25 | P a g e
B. NON-NIPAS
Included also in this category are the buffer strips along rivers and escarpments. The
province has three (3) major rivers ultimately going to Laguna lake namely: Mabacan River that
passing thru the municipalities of San Pablo City, Calauan, Bay and Los Baños; Balanac River
that traverses thru the municipalities of Luisiana, Majayjay, Cavinti, Liliw and Magdalena which
originated from Lucban, Quezon and Sta. Cruz River that runs thru Majayjay, Luisiana,
Magdalena, Pagsanjan and Sta. Cruz.

LAND SUITABILITY
Land suitability is classified into land categories based on the degree on which land is used for
suitable crop.
In Laguna, six categories of land suitability are identified:
1. Suitable for Irrigated Rice or Fishponds (SIRF);

2. Suitable for Cultivated Annual Crops (SCC);
3. Suitable for Tree and Vine Crops (STV);
4. Suitable for Forestry Plantation (SFP);
5. Suitable for Production Forests (SPF);
6. Suitable for Pastures for grazing animals (SP); and
7. Suitable for Urban Development (SFUDEV).
Land suitability is an assessment derived from comparing pre-determined suitability

criteria for each of the foreseeable forms of land use with the land resources inventory data.
The criteria used are as follows:
- Irrigated Rice/Fresh Water Fishponds:

• slopes < 3% up to 8% if terraced
• low soil permeability
• no significant limitation of rock, erosion, soil depth, etc.
• the presence of problem soil downgrades the suitability but is not necessary
limiting
- Cultivated Annual Crops:

• no significant existing erosion
(or a low soil erodibility)
• slopes < 8% (benchmark of erosion hazard)
• adequate soil depth (750cm)
• no flooding or poor drainage
• no soil problem
• no serious limitations of terrain or rock
- Perennial Trees and Vine Crops:

• as for cultivated annual crops but can be placed on a more erodible slope, a
slope of 18% may be allowable
- Forestry Plantations:
• slope < 30% and the limitations of terrain or rock should be less severe
• no serious erosion hazard
- Pastures:
• no serious existing soil erosion
29 | P a g e
• slopes < 18% if land is erodible

• slopes < 50% if land is stable
• no serious limitations of terrain
The land suitability information was taken from the Land Management Unit (LMU) map
from the Bureau of Soils. The information was used to determine whether existing land use is in
accordance with the suitability of the land for a specific use.

NATURAL HAZARDS
The Province of Laguna has its fair share of hazards, knowing that the Philippines lies
along the typhoon belt and the Pacific Ring of Fire. These hazards are detailed as follows.
Earthquake Induced Landslide (EIL)
The hazard map produced by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(DOST- PHIVOLCS) shows that municipalities in the 3 rd and 4th district of Laguna are the ones
mostly affected by landslides due to earthquakes, especially those LGUs that are near the Sierra
Mountain Range and Mount Banahaw. These localities have areas that are highly susceptible to
EIL and have possible landslide depositional zones. In addition, LGUs that have high elevation
areas e.g., Los Baños – Mount Makiling Area and Calamba City have places prone to EIL. The
map was produced by simulating the largest possible earthquake magnitude occurring in the area.
32 | P a g e

33 | P a g e
Ground Rupture
Active faults (trace certain and trace approximate) are present in the 1 st and 2nd district of
the Province specifically the cities of San Pedro, Biñan, Santa Rosa, Cabuyao and Calamba.
DOST-PHIVOLCS recommends at least 5 meters buffer zone from both sides of the fault trace
or from the edge of the deformation zone.
34 | P a g e
12
35 | P a g e
Flood
The cities and municipalities of Laguna surrounding the Laguna de Bay are susceptible to
flood. These lakeshore LGUs have varying degrees of susceptibility, of which 4 th district areas are
most susceptible. The Mines and Geosciences Bureau of Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (MGB-DENR) defines a,mreas prone to flooding as “areas subjected to recurring
inundation when the level of a body of water rises and overflows its natural or artificial confines
due to heavy or continuous rainfall.” Areas where elevation is greater than 20 meters are
considered as areas not prone to flooding.
Portions of Sta. Cruz, Calamba City, Bay, Famy, Lumban, Mabitac, Pangil, Pakil, Siniloan,
Sta. Maria, and Sta. Rosa City are highly susceptible to flood hazard. Biñan City, Cabuyao City,
Calauan, Kalayaan, Liliw, Los Baños, Magdalena, Majayjay, Nagcarlan, Paete, Pagsanjan, Pila,
San Pedro City, and Victoria are moderately susceptible. San Pablo City, Rizal, Alaminos, Cavinti,
and Luisiana, on the other hand, are not susceptible to flooding.

Ground Shaking
Almost the whole province is susceptible to PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale

(PEIS) VIII and above except for portions of Los Baños, Bay, Calauan, Nagcarlan, San Pablo
City, Calamba City, Alaminos, Rizal, Liliw and Majayjay that have a lower susceptibility of PEIS
VII. PHIVOLCS defines PEIS VII, VIII, IX and X as follows1:
PEIS VII - Destructive - Most people are frightened and run outdoors. People find it
difficult to stand in upper floors. Heavy objects and furniture overturn or topple. Big church
bells may ring. Old or poorly-built structures suffer considerably damage. Some well-built
structures are slightly damaged. Some cracks may appear on dikes, fish ponds, road
surface, or concrete hollow block walls. Limited liquefaction, lateral spreading and
landslides are observed. Trees are shaken strongly. (Liquefaction is a process by which
loose saturated sand lose strength during an earthquake and behave like liquid).
PEIS VIII - Very Destructive - People panicky. People find it difficult to stand even
outdoors. Many well-built buildings are considerably damaged. Concrete dikes and
foundation of bridges are destroyed by ground settling or toppling. Railway tracks are bent
or broken. Tombstones may be displaced, twisted or overturned. Utility posts, towers and
monuments mat tilt or topple. Water and sewer pipes may be bent, twisted or broken.
Liquefaction and lateral spreading cause man- made structure to sink, tilt or topple.
Numerous landslides and rockfalls occur in mountainous and hilly areas. Boulders are
thrown out from their positions particularly near the epicenter. Fissures and faults rapture
may be observed. Trees are violently shaken. Water splash or stop over dikes or banks of
rivers.
PEIS IX - Devastating - People are forcibly thrown to ground. Many cry and shake with
fear. Most buildings are totally damaged. Bridges and elevated concrete structures are
toppled or destroyed. Numerous utility posts, towers and monument are tilted, toppled or
broken. Water sewer pipes are bent, twisted or broken. Landslides and liquefaction with
lateral spreadings and sandboils are widespread. The ground is distorted into undulations.
Trees are shaken very violently with some toppled or broken. Boulders are commonly
thrown out. River water splashes violently on slops over dikes and banks.
PEIS X - Completely Devastating - Practically all man-made structures are destroyed.

Massive landslides and liquefaction, large scale subsidence and uplifting of land forms and
many ground fissures are observed. Changes in river courses and destructive seiches in
large lakes occur. Many trees are toppled, broken and uprooted.

Liquefaction
The lakeshore municipalities and cities of the province are prone to liquefaction. Areas
near the lake have the highest susceptibility as indicated in the hazard map provided by DOST-
PHIVOLCS. The map was based on the geology, earthquake source zone, historical accounts of
liquefaction, geomorphology and hydrology of the area, and preliminary microtremor survey data
utilized to validate type of underlying materials. In addition, the map points out that areas prone
to liquefaction do not necessarily restrict construction of any structures and development in these
areas as long as proper engineering measures are implemented.

Rain Induced Landslide (RIL)
Areas prone to RIL are mostly concentrated in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th District of Laguna. These
include areas that are prone to landslide accumulation where debris could accumulate. Places
having low to gentle slopes and lacking tension cracks are classified as areas having low
susceptibility rating. Areas with moderate landslide susceptibility rating have moderate slopes,
old/inactive landslides and tension cracks that are far away from communities. Locations that have
active/recent landslides and tension cracks that could affect a community are rated with high
susceptibility especially areas with steep slopes and drainage that are prone to landslide damming.

Volcanic Hazards
On the southeastern part of the province lies Mount Banahaw that is classified as an active
volcano by DOST-PHIVOLCS. Mt. Banahaw is located between the boundaries of Laguna and
Quezon provinces (14°00’N, 121°29'E) with an elevation of 2.169 km and a base diameter of 25
km. It is classified as a stratovolcano complex. Hotsprings surround the volcano such as San Pablo-
Tiaong hot/warm springs, Bakia warm/cold springs, Sampaloc warm springs, Mainit hot/warm
springs and Cagsiay hot/warm springs. Crater Lakes and Maars can also be found near Mt.
Banahaw. These include maars located south of Dolores: Lake Dagatan and Lake Ticab. Its
geological features consist of andesite rock and macolod corridor tectonic setting. Adjacent
volcanic edifice includes Mt. San Cristobal (1470 m asl, W), Mt. Banahaw de Lucban (1875 m
asl, NE), Buho and Masalakot Domes (SW) and Mt. Mayabobo. 2
Volcanic hazards for the province include lahar and pyroclastic flows and surges. The City
of San Pablo, Rizal, Nagcarlan, Liliw, Majayjay, Magdalena and Luisiana are vulnerable to
pyroclastic flows and surges. The danger area for these flows and surges covers the farthest extent
of mapped pyroclastic deposits from Banahaw Volcanic Complex. When it comes to lahar, the
municipalities of Nagcarlan, Liliw, Majayjay, Magdalena, Majayjay and Luisiana have certain
areas that are highly susceptible to lahar. Portions of Municipality of Rizal, Magdalena and San
Pablo City are moderately susceptible while parts of Santa Cruz, Pagsanjan, Magdalena and
Lumban have low susceptibility rating for lahar.

HISTORY OF DISASTER INCIDENTS
Ground Shaking
The Province of Laguna experienced a magnitude 7.5 earthquake on August 20, 1937 with
a depth of 33 km. Its epicenter is located in Famy, Laguna. The Laguna-Banahaw Fault that runs
north to south along the east coast of Laguna Lake is the source fault of the earthquake. 3 In the
pre-war technical bulletin of the National Research Council of the Philippine Islands (NRCP)
issued on December 1937, NRCP researchers Ambrosio Magsaysay and Jose M. Feliciano
provided an account of the damages brought about by the 1937 event. In their report entitled
“Preliminary Study of the Earthquake of August 20, 1937”, the ground shaking damaged public
structures such as churches, commercial / masonry buildings and old houses in Manila and
surrounding areas.4 The National Historical Commission of the Philippines also noted that
churches such as Mauban Church in the Province of Quezon and the churches of Paete, Mabitac,
Pakil and Santa Maria in Laguna were damaged by the quake. 5 References from the National
Centers for Environmental Information of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
provided a description of damages brought about by the earthquake6:
There was a strong earthquake with source apparently near Alabat Island. On this island
the force of tremors was 7-8 degrees (VIII-IX Rossi-Forel). Almost all the homes tilted or
suffered light damage. Thirty-seven people were injured. The earthquake caused damage
to various structures at Polillo (sic), Iloubnn (sic) (the shore dike was damaged), Atimonan,
Gumaca, Lucban, Tayabas, Tauseiia (sic), Santa Cruz, Paete, Siniloan, Cavinti, Pililla,
Tanay, Taytay, Yasig (sic), Hanila (sic), Antipolo, Caloocan, Cavite, San Miguel and Naga.
Hundreds of people were injured. At Manila, the tremors continued for 4 minutes, and the
strongest ones ones lasted 40 seconds. The earthquake was noticeable as far as Laoag,
Iloilo, and according to dubious sources, the north of Mindanao Island. It was accompanied
by numerous recurrent shocks.
The earthquake affected the sea. There were reports of a rise in water level at Quezon, on
the south of Alabat Island and at the top of Calauag Ray. At Calauag, the level rose from
the ebb tide mark to the flood tide mark in 10 minutes. Some rafts, on which several people
were traveling up the Calauog River, were picked up by a strong flood current.

Volcanic Hazards
PHIVOLCS data shows that Mount Banahaw has 3 recorded historical eruptions during
the years 1730, 1743 and 1843. Its nature of eruption was explosive with volcanic hazards like
debris avalanche, lahar and lake break-out. There have been two major Holocene debris
avalanches at Mount Banahaw. The first one reaches 13 km to the northeast while the other extends
26 km to the southeast forming 10 km of the Tayabas Bay coastline. The summit crater of Banahaw
opens to the south-southwest direction and once contained a crater lake until it drained on 1730
forming mudflows.7
DOST-PHIVOLCS monitors the volcano thru the Seismic Station at Brgy. Ayuti, Lucban,
Quezon (121°32.34'E, 14°06.72'N). Monitoring methods include seismic and visual observations
i.e. steaming activity, changes in slopes and summit area like landslides.
Laguna was also affected by the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in terms of ash fall that
caused stunted growth and burns to crops.
Typhoon and Flood
Flooding is the most common natural hazard in Laguna Province. Heavy rains from
tropical storms and typhoons can cause floods or flash floods. These floods can develop within
minutes or hours depending on the intensity and duration of the rain, topography, soil condition,
and ground cover of the area. Flooding in the province is often caused by the overflowing of the
waterways like creeks and rivers which traversed the low-lying localities along Laguna Lake.
The Province of Laguna had been hit by 10 strong typhoons from 1967 up to the present
which had brought severe flooding in the different municipalities and cities. Out of the ten
deadliest typhoons, three of them ravaged Laguna namely Typhoons Frank, Rosing, and Reming
while among the most destructive four devastated the province - Typhoons Frank, Ondoy, Rosing,
and Milenyo. Before the occurrence of Typhoon Reming in the year 2006, from the year 1967 up
to 2006, most typhoons affecting the province happened within a five-year period or more from
each other which meant that they were spaced far in between from each other. But from 2006 up
to present, there have been six typhoons that hit Laguna which include Typhoons Reming,
Milenyo, Frank, Ondoy, Santi, and Basyang. It is worthy to note that in the last six typhoons, three
of them are in the list of the ten deadliest and destructive typhoons. This has prompted the province
to carefully plan out measures to avert widespread destruction and loss of life.
Careful study of the situation will reveal that no prolonged flooding (more or less three
months) ever occurred in the province except in the year 2009 during Typhoons Ondoy and Santi.
This prolonged flooding occurred only because the lone outlet of the Laguna de Bay to the Manila
Bay which is the Napindan Channel was heavily silted and the mouth of the channel was inhabited
by more than 15,000 families as informal settlers. After the clearing operations were finished,
flood waters on the shore lands in Laguna and Rizal dissipated.

Typhoon Welming
Although there are no historical data available from any of the provincial government
offices, most of the information gathered regarding Typhoon Welming were from the older folks
who personally recounted their experiences. Welming was a relatively strong typhoon that hit the
province but since the population was still relatively low and the waterways were still free from
any obstruction or debris or garbage very little damage was caused to the communities within
Laguna.
Typhoon Dading
Typhoon Dading remains to be one of the most memorable typhoons that most people who
were alive then could recall. They said that Typhoon Dading was more or less the same as the
Ondoy experience. To them, this was a very frightening experience because of the rising flood
waters that they said was even worse than the Ondoy flooding. Some areas were flooded above
their roofs and a great majority had to be rescued and carried to higher grounds for their safety
and prevent them from drowning. The difference they said was that flood waters easily subsided
within a couple of hours and was completely gone after only several days.
Typhoon Osang
Another strong typhoon that hit Laguna was Typhoon Osang. This typhoon was unlike any
other typhoons because it did not bring much rainwater. This was the type of typhoon that brought
strong winds and just enough rain. The destruction that it brought was mainly on parts of property
being blown away by strong winds. Another affected area was the agriculture sector as it destroyed
millions of pesos worth of crops and produce.
50 | P a g e
Typhoon Rosing
One of the worst typhoons that hit the province of Laguna was Rosing. It was the type of
typhoon that had strong winds and a lot of rainwater. Despite its strong winds it did not move fast
and seemed to have lingered longer before finally leaving. When it moved away, it left a trail of
destruction where it left many people either homeless or with a lot of damage on their houses.
Crops and farm produce were completely destroyed by flood and strong winds. Some roads were
left impassable because of fallen trees and flooded streets. A lot of people lost their lives and their
livelihood. There were no prolonged floods but a lot of destruction brought about by flash floods.
Typhoon Reming
When Typhoon Reming struck in 2006, it brought heavy rains that triggered landslides in
many areas of the province, specifically in the highland areas. Recovery efforts became difficult
because of the terrain and distance. In some areas of the province, garbage dumped on the upper
portion of another province cascaded downwards to the low lying area of the province’s first
district. The barangays of the coastal municipalities and the Calamba City suffered flooding due
to heavy downpours from the typhoon. Roads in the city of Calamba became impassable because
of flooding and heavy siltation on its main thoroughfares.
Typhoon Milenyo
One of the most destructive typhoons is Typhoon Milenyo which occurred in 2006 with a
maximum wind gustiness of 230 kph. It is considered to be one of the strongest typhoons that
struck the CALABARZON and NCR area. It toppled numbers of billboard along major
thoroughfares in Metro Manila and Laguna. It also destroyed light to medium structures, houses,
shanties and left thousands of fallen trees where some of it were century old trees. Houses
belonging to well-to-do families also suffered heavy damages. Milenyo also ravaged the
agriculture sector with its destructive powers. Thousands were left homeless and many lost their
livelihood. Rehabilitation efforts were costly because of the extent of the damage.
Typhoon Frank
Unlike other typhoons, Frank is considered as one of the deadliest and most destructive
typhoons that caused flooding in many of the low lying areas in the province. The heavy rainfall
induced a lot of landslides and destroyed the agriculture sector. Families living in the affected
areas were forced to evacuate in nearby schools, covered basketball courts and chapels while some
preferred to stay home due to lack of available evacuation center.
Typhoon Ondoy
Typhoon Ondoy became the wakeup call of the entire Filipino nation when they saw its
devastating effects on Metro Manila, Laguna and Rizal. Unexpectedly, Ondoy became the worst
nightmare for many in the metropolis and its neighboring provinces as they found themselves in
their rooftops to save themselves from drowning. Many were crying for help because of the bitter
cold and starvation. It was said that the amount of rainfall during Ondoy was more than the volume
51 | P a g e
of rainfall that the Philippines would get in one year. Millions were left homeless as they found
their houses submerged in water. What was worse was the fact the flood was not subsiding. A lot
of properties were destroyed especially cars, appliances, equipment, household furniture and more
as they did not have time to secure them because of the unexpected rise in floodwater. Many were
also left without food and clothing as they did not have time to pack.
Typhoon Santi
The effects of Typhoon Santi did not really add to the destruction of Ondoy but only
aggravated the difficult situation of the people in the affected areas. Nonetheless it made the
situation worse than before as it prolonged the agony of the people because of the flooding.
Typhoon Basyang
Typhoon Basyang was a relatively strong typhoon. Since the people were more prepared
on how to react in cases of an impending calamity, the loss of life and property were greatly
minimized. Although there was a slight increase in the number of deaths, it was attributed to the
refusal of one family to leave the hazard prone area when they were instructed to do so. Overall
the number of affected families decreased dramatically due to the preparedness programs already
set in place by the different local government units.

III. SOCIAL COMPOSITION & CHARACTERISTIC
POPULATION SIZE AND GROWTH
Laguna province has six cities and twenty-four municipalities, having Calamba City as the
most populous with 454,486, which is due to rising business opportunities, and followed by Sta.
Rosa City with 353,767. However, in terms of annual growth rate, the city of Cabuyao showed an
unprecedented surge having an annual growth rate of 8.83 percent. The growth rate of the city is
more attributed to migration of people along with the development of industries in the cities.
Population density of the province was 1,600 inhabitants per square kilometer or an
increase of 83 inhabitants per square kilometers in 2015 as compared to 2010. San Pedro leads
municipalities and cities in being the most densely populated area in the province having 14,416
inhabitants per square kilometer.
Based on the 2015 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) the province of Laguna posted
a total population of 3,035,081 persons as of May 1, 2015. This is larger by 365,234 persons
compared to its total population of 2,669,847 persons counted in the 2010 CPH. The increase in
the population count from 2010 to 2015 translated to an average annual population growth rate
(PGR) of 2.47 percent. This is lower than 3.67 percent annual PGR of the province between the
census years 1990 and 2000.
If the average annual PGR recorded at 2.47percent during the period 2010 to 2015
continues, the population of Laguna would double in 22 years. Fifty-five years ago, the population
of Laguna was only 472,064 persons.

Among the six component cities and 24 municipalities comprising the province of Laguna,
the City of Calamba was the most populous with a population size making up 15 percent of the
total provincial population. The City of Sta. Rosa was a second with 11.7 percent share, followed
by the City of Biñan (11 percent) and City of San Pedro (10.7 percent). City of Cabuyao and the
City of San Pedro each had 8.8 percent share each while the municipality of Santa Cruz, the
provincial capital, had a share of 3.9 percent. The rest of the municipalities contributed less than
3.8 percent each.
The least populated area was the municipality of Famy with 16,587 total population with
0.5 percent share to the total population of the province. It was also the least populated area in
2010.

Sex ratio remained at 98 males per 100 females.
Of the 3,021,537 household population in 2015, males accounted for 49.6 percent while
females comprised 50.4 percent. These figures resulted in sex ratio of 98 males for every 100
females, which is similar to the sex ratio recorded in 2000.
Moreover, almost one-third (31.1 percent) of the population were under 15 years
old. Children aged 0 to 4 years (10.7 percent) comprised the largest age group, followed by those
in the age groups 5 to 9 years (10.4 percent) and 10 to 14 years (9.9 percent). Males outnumbered
females in the age groups 0 to 14 years. On the other hand, there were more females than males
in the older age groups (45 years and over).

LEADING CAUSES OF MORBIDITY
Acute upper respiratory infection is consistently leading from among the causes of
morbidity in the province. In 2015 Respiratory Infection & General Symptoms and signs are the
top two leading causes of illnesses.
Essential Hypertension, a non-communicable or lifestyle related disease ranks fourth. The

community became very much aware about it and conscious about the symptoms and signs
involving the circulatory and respiratory systems ranks them to seek early consultations. The local
government units have been continuously providing logistics to address this problem.

LEADING CAUSES OF MATERNAL MORTALITY
The maternal mortality ratio in the province showed an increased in 2009 recorded at 6.35
per 10,000 live births, which is higher than national target. This was decreased in the next two
years to 4.65, however a slight increase was noted in 2012, but this is still within the national target
of 5.0 per 10,000 live births. Contributory factors include low accomplishments in programs and
services for maternal care such as prenatal cases given at least four visits, provision of iron
supplementations for both prenatal and post natal cases, low facility based deliveries and others.
There is a great challenge for all health workers to improve strategies in order to improve maternal
health and to achieve the development goal which is reduction of maternal mortality ratio.
Causes of Maternal deaths (29 cases) include the following: Post partum Hemorrhage with
9 cases; Pre-eclampsia 4 cases; Eclampsia 5 cases; Uterine Atony 3; Abruptio Placenta 2;
Puerperal Sepsis 2; Ruptured Uterus - 1; Hypovolemic Shock secondary to Bleeding-1; Placenta

NUTRITION
Weighing is one of the ways to measure growth as a result of proper nutrition among
children. For the purpose of program planning and implementation, local nutrition committees
conduct Operation Timbang during the first quarter of the year. This is annual weighing of 0-71
months old children by the Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS), volunteer health workers and
others concerned citizens of the community.
Results of the OPT of the Province of Laguna showed a positive trend in 2012. There is a
decrease in under nutrition and minimally among children with above normal weights.

aspirations of getting good education and acquiring a stable job or starting their own enterprises,
many young people fall prey to various illegal and undesirable activities. It should be noted that
the average age these undesirable activities were first experienced ranged from 15 to 18 yrs. old.
Although rehabilitative measures should be strengthened, preventive measures are more

costly. Young people have to be provided with opportunities to be more productive and to avoid
involvement in illegal and socially undesirable activities.

HOUSING
The Provincial Government through its Provincial Urban Development and Housing
Office closely coordinate with the leading National Agencies counterpart on housing concern such
as the Housing & Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), National Housing
Authority (NHA), Philippines National Railways, Government Owned and Control Corporations
(GOCC’s). Home Mutual Development Fund and other private sectors are groups to help the less
fortunate Laguneños in the province.
Primary requirement is the registration of all Home Owner associations to Housing & Land
Use Regulatory Board (HLURB).
Laguna as of to date has 116 regular Community Associations/Organizations

enrolled in different housing programs applied to then such as Expanded Housing Loan Program,
Community Land Acquisition Support Program, Land Tenurial Assistance Program and
Community Mortgage Program wherein the provincial government served as the “originator” of
qualified association to the Social Housing Finance Corporation.
In effect to the Executive Order No. 48, which is the disposition of unutilized PNR lands
for “socialized housing”, the province initiated to move forward together with the Local
Government Unit within their respective localities to enforce the implementation of the said E.O.
As of date, 59 Community Associations were organized from District II to District IV
(Alaminos, Nagcarlan, Liliw, Magdalena, Calauan, Bay, Los Baños and Santa Cruz). To add
HUDCC as its implementing arm has issued partial “Certificate of Lot Awards” to qualified
beneficiaries upon completion of the required documents.
Resettlement sites have been identified within San Pedro, Biñan, Sta. Rosa City and
Cabuyao for the resident-affected by the Northrail –Southrail Linkage Project spearheaded by the
National Housing Authority tied up with the Local Government Units and the Provincial Office.
Private sector has eight (8) Gawad Kalinga housing projects in the province located at San
Pedro, Sta. Rosa City, Calamba City, San Pablo City, Sta. Cruz, Pakil, Pangil & Mabitac to cope
with the housing backlog of the province.

WATER SYSTEM
Laguna Water, the water service provider operating in the Province of Laguna, recovered
more water for its customers through the success of its sustained efforts in plugging leaks and
closing illegal connections. The company’s aggressive system loss reduction program has already
recovered 3 million liters of water per day which was made available for distribution to about
5,000 underserved residents of Barangay Balibago, Sta. Rosa City without the need to develop a
new water source. Combining both engineering and technical solutions with community
engagement programs, Laguna Water utilized leak detection devices, installed pressure reducing
valves and created district metering areas to address the losses brought about by leaking
distribution lines and illegal connections. The company also launched its Tubig Para sa Barangay
program designed to provide regular water connections in areas where illegal connections are
rampant.
Since the areas served by Laguna Water are still predominantly served by groundwater
sources, its successful water loss reduction initiatives contribute greatly to the protection of
Laguna’s abundant groundwater reserves for the needs of the future generation, benefit more
residents in the cities of Cabuyao, Biñan and Santa Rosa.

Laguna Water was formed through a public private partnership between the Province of
Laguna and the Ayala-led Manila Water to operate and maintain the province’s water system.
Most rural areas in the Philippines consider natural ground water as their source of drinking
water. In particular, the domestic water requirement of Nagcarlan,in the province of Laguna, is
supported by six water springs along the slope of Mt. Banahaw. Due to abundant rainfall, this
municipality has no water supply issues. The accumulated rainwater percolates through Mt.
Banahaw as natural water springs. However, because it is not covered by the National Water
Resources Board (NWRB), Nagcarlan has a poorly managed water distribution system, increasing
the risk of water contamination. First, there is uncontrolled application of pesticides by several
farmers planting on the top of Mt. Banahaw. Second, there are established houses and piggeries
with poorly constructed septic tanks and waste disposal systems in the upland area. Lastly, the
pipes that are used to distribute water to the municipality are at least 50 years old and sometimes
run through polluted canals. Pesticides, heavy metals, and bacteria are the main contaminants of
Nagcarlan’s water system. Therefore, there is a fervent need to purify water from the
aforementioned sources in order to provide the community with clean drinking water.
The primary method used for water purification in the Philippines is reverse osmosis. In
Nagcarlan, there are already five major water-purifying stations and several distributors of
imported bottled drinking water. However, most of the residents of Nagcarlan cannot afford to
buy purified drinking water, and thus resort to a crude method of treatment whereby chlorine is
dripped into water with no stirrer to distribute the chlorine. Presently, most people boil their water
as a means of water purification. Other residents buy cheap faucet filters from the local market in
Nagcarlan. Sometimes they even drink tap water directly from the faucet, causing public health
problems like diarrhea and other gastro-intestinal diseases. In fact, the Rural Health Unit in
Nagcarlan has reported 11,523 cases of intestinal diseases in 2007. Therefore, due to the present
contamination of water sources and the large expense to purify them, there is a strong need to
develop a low-cost water purification system fit for a community in Nagcarlan using low cost
materials. (Consilience: The Journal of Sustainable Development)
The Laguna Lake and its surrounding areas are under immediate threat from household
and industrial pollution. Household or domestic wastes constitute 77% of the lake’s total pollution
load, industry contributes 11%, from agriculture and 1% from forests. Solid and liquid wastes
enter the lake by way of the 22 major tributaries and the more than 100 minor tributaries, including
the periodically back-flowing Pasig River. At present, Laguna Lake is still classified as suitable
for fisheries and treatment.

IV. LOCAL ECONOMY
For the last two decades, the Province of Laguna emerged as one of the country’s most
important economic hubs. The province enjoys economic success in both agricultural and
industrial activities. Notably, the municipalities and cities in the first and second districts of the
province, which are nearer to Metro Manila, have become highly industrialized areas. On the other
hand, the municipalities and city in the third and fourth districts primarily engage in agricultural
production, cottage and small-scale industries.
The economic boom experienced by Laguna for the last two decades is attributed to its
able workforce, proximity to Metro Manila, and investment-friendly policies of the province’s
LGUs.
Based on the 2010-2015 census, Laguna had a population growth rate of 2.47 percent,
which is lower than that of the provinces of Cavite (3.37%) and Rizal (2.88%), respectively. Out
of Laguna’s total workforce of 1,296,000 in 2016, 84.2 percent were employed resulting to the
province’s 67.5 percent labor force participation rate for the same year. The labor force
participation rate of Laguna is higher than most provinces in the CALABARZON.
Considerably, Lagunenses fit well in a work-setting environment. They are hardworking,

highly motivated, good-natured and easy to get along with. Lagunenses are also highly literate;
making use of English as a widely spoken language.
Based on Family Income and Expenditure Survey, the average annual family income of
Filipino families was approximately 267 thousand pesos. In comparison, the average annual
family expenditure for the same year was 215 thousand pesos. Hence, Filipino families has
savings of 52 thousand pesos in a year, on average.
A consumer price index (CPI) measures changes in the price level of market basket
of consumer goods and services purchased by households. The CPI is a statistical estimate
constructed using the prices of a sample of representative items whose prices are collected
periodically.

BASIC SECTOR
A. CROP PRODUCTION
Laguna has a total of 62,555 hectares of agricultural land wherein 36, 647 hectares is
planted with permanent crops, 22, 213 hectares is planted with temporary crops and 302 hectares
is covered with forest growth which is ideal for growing coconuts, tropical fruits (Quickstat, PSA
as of June 2017). The province is well-known for its abundant supply of fruits such as pineapple,
lanzones, rambutan, mango and papaya. Some medium-scale farms produce cutflowers and
ornamental plants.
The presence of flowing water, fertile soil and favorable climate makes agriculture and
fishing a fundamental activity and income generating industry in the province especially in 3 rd and
4th Districts. The forest of Mount Makiling and the waters of Laguna de Bay have abundant flora
and fauna.
Laguna de Bay enhances and balances the vast agricultural and forest land in the Province.
With a surface of 900km, it is the main fishing ground producing 410,000 metric tons of fish,
providing about 66% of the fresh water requirements of Metro Manila. Carp, tilapia, and cream
dory (Pangasius hypophthalmus) fingerlings are being grown in inland ponds and fresh water fish
pens. Laguna is the center of agriculture, fisheries and forest research in the country. The research
institutions in Los Baños are: International Rice Research Institute (IRRI); Department of Science
and Technology, Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research
and Development DOST-PCAARRD; Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study in
Agriculture (SEARCA); Institute of Plant Breeding (IPB); Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) and
University of the Philippines, Los Baños (UPLB) are among others.
The Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPAg), in collaboration with the different
agricultural research institutions and agencies, continues its efforts in implementing agricultural
and fishery programs to help the farmers and fisherfolks in providing their families a better quality
of life.
Driven to further increase the income of farmers and fisher folks and to provide viable
sources of livelihood, the OPAg is steadfastly providing various seminars, training activities,
technology updates on different commodities focused on how to increase their production as well
as massive information campaign on Organic Agriculture.
1. RICE PROGRAM
In connection to the province’s aim for a sustainable rice production and with capacitating
and empowering the partners in program implementation, OPAg is in constant collaboration with
Municipal Local Government Units and the Department of Agriculture and its attached agencies
97 | P a g e
for implementation and monitoring of rice banner program. The province had the highest yield in
terms of production per unit area in the whole CALABARZON Region. The graph shows the

For the year 2016, the municipality of Victoria ranked first among other municipalities in
the province in terms of production, with a total of 17,174.47 metric tons. This was followed by
Pila with 16,523.06 metric tons, Sta. Maria with13,804.20 metric tons, Calauan with 11,837.24
metric tons and Sta. Cruz with 10,703.41 (TABLE 2).
2. HIGH-VALUE CROPS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The Department of Agriculture (DA) is prioritizing some twenty (20) high value
agricultural commodities in the provision of production assistance under the World-Bank assisted
Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP).
The Philippine Rural Development Project is a six-year national project under the
Department of Agriculture that aims to establish a modern, value-chain-oriented and climate
resilient agriculture and fisheries sector. In partnership with local government units (LGUs) and
the private sector, the Project shall provide key infrastructure, facilities, technology and
information to raise incomes, productivity and competitiveness in targeted areas (DA-PRDP).
Likewise, it aims to strengthen good governance, transparency and accountability

mechanisms at all stages of the project cycle. It also intends to operationalize a local-level
convergence platform among relevant national line agencies and other stakeholders such as the
private sector, civil society and academe to synergize programs and projects. This multi-
stakeholder convergence is seen to facilitate the implementation of more relevant interventions
that benefit a bigger segment of farmers and fishers, ushering them towards inclusive growth (DA-
PRDP).
Commodities that would be covered by the program include coffee, temperate vegetables,
rice, banana, mango, peanut, seaweed, pineapple, onion, coconut, cacao, calamansi, sugar, rubber,
cassava, corn, abaca, oil palm, poultry and livestock. Whereas, for the province, commodities
such as coffee, cacao, coconut and livestock, specifically dairy cattle were identified and
prioritized for the said project.
With the aim of becoming the fruit bowl of the CALABARZON Region, the production
of fruits in the province as shown in table 1 is increasing due to the interventions provided by the
Provincial Government through the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist and the Department of
Agriculture during the past years such as distribution of quality and high-yielding planting
materials.

The agency, in its massive effort of intensifying the production both for lowland and
highland vegetables assisted and capacitated the Laguna Vegetable Industry Council (LVIC), a
non-government organization and partner of the office in implementing the Vegetable Production
Program of the province of Laguna. Several trainings and seminars were conducted in partnership
with the Agricultural Training Institute during the last years focused on market-driven and
technology-based production of selected commodities.
3. CORN PROGRAM
In order to boost corn production in the province, and increase the number of corn
producers, both for yellow and white corn, season-long Farmers Field Schools are being
undertaken. This is facilitated by the Training of Trainers (TOT) graduates in the whole province.
Alongside with technology, demonstrations on adaptability and varietal trials are monitored and
facilitated by the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist Staff. In constant coordination with the
Department of Agriculture, yellow corn seeds are being distributed to corn producing
municipalities as well as its nitrogen supplement. Furthermore, OPAg is also collaborating with
Benacorn Corporation, Calamba Upland Farmers’ Cooperative (CUFAMCO), Siniloan Feeds
Corporation, GATDULA Feed Mill in Sta. Maria and Tuazon Feed Mill in Sta. Maria for the
marketing aspect of corn.
Corn production during the last five years increased from 4,193.83 metric tons in 2012 to
4,555.42 metric tons in 2016. Average annual growth was 30.0 percent. In 2016, total corn
production reached 4,555.42 metric tons and was 17.41 percent lower than the 2015 output level

4. ORGANIC AGRICULTURE PROGRAM
The Province of Laguna is one of the earliest adopters/beneficiaries of organic farming. In

2015, the province was awarded by the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office IVA
as the “Outstanding Provincial Local Government Unit” in Region IV-A. It has devoted a total of
12,407 hectares of land and a total of 24 techno-demo sites. This was based on Department of
Agriculture –Regional Field Office IVA data in 2015. The small-scale composting facilities
distributed by the Bureau of Soil and Water Management are being utilized in different barangays
intensifying the promotion of vermicompost in producing organically grown vegetables through
the efforts of the office.
As of 2016, Laguna has 880 organic practitioners. A group of organic practitioners called
the Laguna Organic Practitioners Federation has a total of 33 Organic Associations with 686
members.
The demand for organically grown vegetables and rootcrops prompted the OPAg to
recommend its production in highland areas of the province. In lieu of this, the office conducted
seminars, trainings and consultations on Vermiculture and Organic Farming Technology in
different municipalities. The OPAg is in constant collaboration with some agencies and
institutions in certifying organic farms and these are; Bureau of Agriculture and Fishery Standards-
Bureau of Plant Industry, Agribusiness Specialty Products (Agspec) Philippines Corporation,
Amazing Foods Corporation, and Costales Nature Farms. At present, there are a total of ten (10)
Organic Produce Trading Posts province-wide and this is shown in Figure 9.

Region, by a railway transport system some few years back has encountered technical problems
which made the system non-operational. Recently, the Provincial Government has approved, and
is now for endorsement to the Regional Development Council, the North-South Railway Transport
System that would rehabilitate and make improvements on the same railway system. The entry
point from Manila to San Pedro City at Kilometer 35.56 exiting at Kilometer 88.77 in San Pablo

INTERNAL CIRCULATION
Laguna mass transport system has been established from Metro Manila towards the
southern part of San Pedro via South Luzon Expressway down to Sta. Cruz via Los Baños by bus
and all sorts of vehicles; while the other route is via Alaminos down to San Pablo City. Another
way to get to Laguna is via Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City all the way up to Antipolo to Pililla,
Rizal, then down to Mabitac, Laguna.
About 88.96 percent or 224.42 kms. of road network are concrete.; 11.04 percent (27.824
kms.) are asphalts leading to a good yet safe and accessible transport system within the province.
Riding a bus or jeep is the main internal circulation of transport system to different
municipalities in Laguna or via private transport services like the UV Express.
Currently, the traffic situation in Los Baños poses as a hindrance to the tourism industry
in Laguna. This is why the Provincial Government recently considered the Construction of a
Viaduct traversing from Calamba to Los Baños along the lakeshores of the areas. Also, the DPWH
proposes the Road Widening program in Los Baños and the Construction of a Bypass Road along
the lakeshores. These are the solutions that the LGU are carefully studying, for the easement of
traffic in Los Baños. Good road network system shall provide easy access to and from urban
growth centers in the province.

The Ayala-led water distributor AAA Water Corporation (AWC) holds 70% of Laguna
Water Corporation (LAWC), a joint venture between AWC and the Provincial Government of
Laguna. Provided is the development, design, construction, operation, maintenance and financing
of the water facilities that serves the needs of the cities of Sta. Rosa, Biñan and Cabuyao.
The Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) supplies water to the rest of the
province. Some municipalities survive thru their own water systems. However, there still are
residences in rural areas which operate using the Level 1 water system, particularly shallow wells,
springs and deepwells. Some of the industrial estates have their own water system and waste water
treatment facilities.

POWER
The National Power Corporation (NPC), through the Manila Electric Company
(MERALCO) and First Laguna Electric Cooperative (FLECO), provides electricity to the whole
province. The First Laguna Electric Cooperative provides power to eleven (11) municipalities
composed of 159 barangays. The rest is supplied by Meralco.
The main source of energy is imported fuel oil, hydro-power, geothermal power, and
locally produced oil. Power projects are being undertaken to ensure sufficient power supply for
the province and the rest of CALABARZON. Efforts are also being undertaken to develop
indigenous sources of energy.
The power-generating plants are currently in operation in Laguna. The Botocan Hydro-
Electric Plant with 17 MW generation capacity, the Caliraya Hydro-Electric Plant with 32 MW
generating capacity provide power to the province and other areas.
Some industrial estates have self-generating capacities. Just recently, Meralco completed
three (3) projects designed to improve their distribution system and support the development in
the ecozones in Laguna. Two of these projects are in Calamba while the other one is in Sta. Rosa.
To this date, the Provincial Government of Laguna is considering the conversion of

sunlight into electricity through the use of Solar Power. The Provincial Engineering Office has
just met with a company providing Solar Power and, initially, plans to install solar panels in the
vicinities of the Laguna Provincial Capitol.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Alongside with the development of any province is the alarming issue on solid wastes that
requires proactive solutions. In Laguna, out of twenty six (26) municipalities and four (4) cities,
sixteen (16) municipalities operate open dumpsites of which seven (7) has Authority to Close
(ATC) issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) while one (1)
has a Notice to Proceed (NTP) as controlled dumpsite. Most of these dumpsites were located in
the second to fourth district of Laguna.
Private entities also provide waste disposal services. There are two sanitary landfills and
one controlled dumpsite operated by private individuals.
The Provincial Government of Laguna through Provincial Government Environment and

Natural Resources Office (PG-ENRO), initiates and develops plans, programs and projects to
address the alarming solid wastes management issue. Initially, it assists the crafting of resolutions
pertaining to solid wastes management which are ratified into ordinances by the Sangguniang
Panlalawigan. Currently, it facilitates formulation of Environmental Code which is now partially
prepared by the third party consultant.
Under the Laguna de Bay Institutional Strengthening and Community Participation Project
(LISCOP), a five-year development initiative (2004-2009), the LISCOP was designed to support
co-managed investments that will benefit 66 Local Government Units in the watershed and support
the institutional strengthening of the LLDA, LGUs and River Councils in ensuring the sustained
and effective management of the Laguna de Bay. Results of this are the following:

VI. LOCAL INSTITUTIONAL CAPABALITY
LOCAL GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE
The organizational set up of the Provincial Government complies with the requirements
for its viable operations. The key government offices are in place. The LGU also complied with
the Local Government Code of 1991 for the creation of special bodies in which non-government
organizations, concerned sectors and/or private sectors are represented. Such bodies are Local
Development Council, Local Prequalification Bids and Awards Committee (PBAC), Local School
Board, Local Health Board, Peace and Order Council and the Local Tourism Council. Additional
councils were created like the GAD Focal Point System, Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council, Anti-Tobacco Control Council and a few more.
The Governor heads the Provincial Government. Under the Office of the Governor are
several offices performing managerial, technical and general administrative support services.
These sections deal specifically with aspects of local administration – the formulation, approval,
funding, implementation and monitoring of plans – geared towards local development. The figure
shows the current organization structure of the provincial government.

DEVELOPMENT LEGISLATION
INVENTORY OF RESOLUTIONS PASSED / ORDINANCES ENACTED BY YEAR
Effective Legislation has been increasingly recognized to mean effective and appropriate
matching between aggregated interests and legislative measure. Quality legislation is more likely
to be achieved in a condition where policy making competencies, collectively, individually, are
sufficiently addressed and that proper consultations were made and technical functions were fully
utilized.
146 | P a g e
To translate their function as legislators, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan has to address

various concerns in order to assure that they enact/adopt reasonable measures that would redound
to better and well-structured legislations for the benefit of the whole constituencies in the Province
of Laguna.
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan idiosyncratically exercises its power that optimizes its
legislative competence which can further serve as an indicator of its role both in regard to local
executive organs and to the various public and private sector instrumentalities in the external

administration of justice.

exercising legislative power in all other Local Government Units within the Province of Laguna.
As such, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan enact/adopt ordinances, approve resolutions and
appropriate funds for the general welfare of the province and its inhabitants pursuant to Section
16 of the Code and in the proper exercise of the corporate powers of the Province of Laguna as
provided for under Section 22 of the Local Government Code of 1991.

important tasks:
1. Organize and convene the members of the body to be composed of the following:
- Vice Governor as the Presiding Officer

- Regular Sanggunian Members

- President of the Panlalawigang Pederayon ng Sangguniang Kabataan
- President of the Provincial Federation of the Sanggunian Members

LOCAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES
Laguna aims to provide all the necessary physical and social infrastructure facilities and
sources to attain the urban industrialization and agro-modernization objective and sustained
economic growth of the province.
The province seeks to achieve the above-mentioned objectives by rehabilitating, upgrading

and expanding the existing network of provincial and municipal roads, intensifying the
construction of farm to market roads, improving and upgrading telephone and telegraph facilities
and providing adequate water supply for domestic and industrial uses. Some projects are also being
implemented through the KALSADA projects and some are included in the Bottom-Up Budgeting
project. The Provincial Government of Laguna works towards development through initiative
projects geared on Climate Change Adaptation, Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, Gender
and Development, Poverty Reduction programs and other economic development programs. It has
a consistent collaboration with other regional and national line agencies like the NEDA, DILG,
DOE, DPWH, DOH and many more.
The major development projects of the province in the year 2015 to 2018 are Construction
of Waste to Energy Plant, road widening, construction of school buildings in different
municipalities, Purchase of search & rescue equipment, Rehabilitation-Dredging of Laguna Lake
and Tributaries, and improvement of hospitals. Laguna's priority investment will be focused on
the rehabilitation, upgrading and maintenance of existing roads and bridges connecting urban
centers with adjoining rural areas.
