Pinamalayan Clup Vol 1 PDF

M E S S A G E
My Fellow Pinamalayeños,
It is with great pride and honor that we are presenting to you and dedicating the
Comprehensive Development Plan and Land Use Plan of Pinamalayan for year
2001 to 2010. Through the services provided by our consultant, CEST Inc., we
were able to formulate and come-up with a great document built from extensive
research, collation of data, and a series of multi-sectoral participatory strategic
planning.
As we all know, our town is admired for so many good physical and economic
characteristics. It has a well-planned urban core, strategic location, good road
network, rich agricultural production, tourism potential and other advantages. We
are quite fortunate to have all these and be the ideal point of development
opportunities in the entire province. It is high time for us to clearly state our
vision for Pinamalayan and lay-out our plans for the years to come realizing the
great future ahead of us. Our Land Use Plan will serve as our guide as we take
development undertakings for our town to become more prosperous yet orderly.
The formulation of the plan is just the beginning of the path of development. The
bigger challenge still lies ahead - the implementation of the plan. I am
encouraging every Pinamalayeño to pick a role and work out to get the plan
moving. Let us all join hands and combine our efforts to make Pinamalayan a
true model of development. Let us take part in the noble deed of implementing
the Plan.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.0 Plan Base
Pinamalayan is one of the identified provincial growth centers and is extremely well
positioned to be such. Its highly strategic location, being at the center of the province,
augurs well for the development of facilities to service the surrounding municipalities.
Current and proposed projects, as identified by several private and government sector
plans, further strengthen the municipality’s position as a significant hub. Projects that will
accelerate development in the municipality include the establishment of a Convention
Center as stipulated in the Southern Tagalog Tourism Master Plan, improvement of the
airport in Pambisan Munti, proposed direct link to Manila via the Supercat, etc.
The vast land resources of Pinamalayan serve as its primary strength as these are highly
suitable for agricultural production. Large areas are presently devoted to the production
of major economic crops such as rice, banana, coconut, vegetables and fruit trees. The
municipality has formulated concrete agricultural programs and projects that are being
implemented by its highly competent and committed agricultural personnel. One of the
major visible impacts of these strengths was attaining the highest rice productivity among
all rice producing towns in the province. Also, it has a highly successful hog and cattle
dispersal program. Its large pasture area can, in turn, be exploited to support the
development of a commercial livestock industry not to mention the abundance of raw
materials that can be used as feed ingredients.
Other comparative advantages include a rich marine fishing ground off Tablas Strait, large
and developed brackishwater fishpond areas, abundance of milkish and prawn fry and
fingerlings in the wild, and the growing number of tilapia fishpond areas because of its
acceptability as alternative enterprise and protein source.
In terms of potential labor force, more than half (55%) of the population are in their
economically productive years, that is 15 to 64 years old, that can support any expanded,
agricultural, commercial or industrial activity.
The municipality hosts a Domestic Airport in Barangay Pambisan Munti. It has two
informal ports in Baranagays Pili and Recodo. If fully developed, these will make
Pinamalayan a major player in the movement of inter-regional goods and services.
Pinamalayan has the best planned Poblacion in Oriental Mindoro. Its grid pattern of roads
have 20 meter wide rights-of-way in major segments that can still absorb further urban
growth.
2.0 Development Direction
Development Vision
By 2010, Pinamalayan shall emerge as a major food basket and a progressive trading
hub of MIMAROPA and the rest of Region IV, with sustainable agriculture, diversified
trading activities, enhanced tourism, conserved and protected environment, inhabited by
God-centered, empowered and nature- and peace- loving citizenry.
Mission Statement
To strengthen agricultural production in order to meet the market demands of

MIMAROPA and the rest of Region IV while continually exploring alternative sources of
livelihood through diversification of trade, industry and tourism carried out in a manner
that respects the need to protect the environment and promotes people-centered growth.
3.0 Development Thrusts
xii
Final Report
 Diversify the Economy
With the thrust of Pinamalayan to emerge as a progressive trading hub of MIMAROPA,

there is a need to intensify the expansion of the economic base by assisting the growth of
small and medium scale enterprises such as those engaged in pottery, ceramics, native
products food-processing, and agri-processing.
 Strengthen Agricultural Production
As Pinamalayan aims to be the food basket of MIMAROPA, the agriculture sector shall
continue to be a major contributor to its economic development. The Plan shall secure
the availability, adequacy, sustainability, accessibility and affordability of basic agricultural
products to everyone at all times and shall emphasize the maintenance of food security.
 Ensure Adequate and Accessible Social Services
The enhanced provision and delivery of social services through comprehensive programs
on health, education, social welfare, housing and peace and order shall be attained.
Ways to properly integrate Mangyans to the mainstream of society shall also be given
attention. This will come in the form of delivering appropriate community services as well
as economic opportunities to this segment of the population.
 Ensure Sustainable Utilization of Natural Resources
Strong emphasis shall be put in the protection and rehabilitation of forest cover and
watersheds, mangroves and coral reefs, while promoting environment-friendly
development initiatives such as eco-tourism.
 Provide Adequate Infrastructure Support
Infrastructure and utilities shall be developed to both support and catalyze the socio-
economic progress of the municipality. While infrastructure development is basically
supportive of sectoral objectives, it should be noted that it also plays an important role in
investment promotion.
4.0 Over-all Land Use Framework
Pinamalayan's approach to land use planning and management has been crafted using two
mutually reinforcing approaches, both ensuring alignment to the municipality's development
vision as well as to its economic, social, environmental and other multi-sectoral objectives.
The LUP is essentially policy-driven and management-oriented. The land use strategy
encourages the dispersal of growth across the municipality. This is done through the
development of multiple growth nodes centered on the Poblacion, Cacawan-Marfrancisco-
Sta. Rita and the Maliangcog - Pambisan Munti areas. These shall be supported by an
extensive infrastructure backbone to make growth efficient.
 Major Urban Centers
The major urban centers include the Poblacion and its Fringe Area (portions of Wawa,
Cacawan, Sta. Rita and Marfrancisco) and the Pambisan Munti-Maliancog area.
The Poblacion shall remain as the seat of municipal administration, as well as the locus of
trade and services. Government interventions shall focus on enhancing infrastructure and
increasing their capacities to absorb the expected intensification of urban growth. This
would come in the form of improving utilities (water, power and drainage) as well as the
xiii
Final Report
road infrastructure (pavements and sidewalks). An urban reforestation program shall be

implemented in order to further upgrade the quality of the Poblacion’s physical
environment. The Fringe Area, on the other hand, shall function as a predominantly
residential area supported by neighborhood – scale services and facilities.
The Pambisan Munti-Maliancog Area shall be a long-term major urban center due to its
enhanced accessibility and proximity to the airport. A detailed Master Plan shall be
prepared in order to provide for an efficient growth framework. Blocks, streets, urban open
spaces and utility systems shall be laid out along with a more detailed set of land use
controls. Attention will be paid to mitigate the potential nuisances that may be generated
by airport operations.
This long-term scenario shall be laid-out at the medium-term where the connection
between the Poblacion and the Pambisan Munti-Maliancog areas shall be strengthened.
 Urban Corridor
A controlled Urban Corridor shall be allowed to develop along the National Highway and
Provincial Road traversing the airport. Allowance for growth shall be limited to a 250 -
meter strip of land on both sides of the ROWs of the said roads in accordance with the
municipal delineation of the SAFDZ areas.
 Secondary Urban Center
Barangay Pili shall be the Secondary Urban Center. Urban development shall be closely
harmonized with the presence of the Pili Port. Agri-processing, cold storage and other port-
dependent facilities shall be encouraged in the area. Facilities, should, however, be
developed with particular attention to high quality designs, proper landscaping, adequate
parking, etc. in order to prevent the ill-effects of uncontrolled port-related growth.
 Rural Growth Centers
The rural growth centers are identified as Sabang, Banilad and Ranzo. These shall be the
venues of shared community facilities and services as well as the centers of rural trading in
relation to their influence area.
 Transport Framework
The Multi-Nodal Strategy is closely interrelated to the envisioned Transport Framework.

Since growth is encouraged near the major inter-regional transit points (Pambisan Munti,
Recodo and Pili), the linkages between these centers shall also be improved. This will not
only facilitate the interaction between nodes but shall also provide enhanced access to the
rural areas. This will facilitate the marketing and transport of agricultural products,
delivery of services, and access to tourism sites, hence, complementing the Plan’s
development vision to improve both the urban and rural economies.

HISTORY OF PINAMALAYAN
The town of Pinamalayan is close to the shore at the mouth of the river of the same name. The
town’s name was said to be taken from the word “ipinamalay” which means to make aware or to
show the way. According to an old story, the early settlers of this town came from Marinduque.
While they were on their way to Mindoro in their big bancas, they encountered turbulent weather
and lost their way. They prayed to God Almighty for deliverance and guidance, whereupon, the
weather cleared and a rainbow appeared on the horizon. The crew shouted “ipinamalay” (it was
made known). They followed the direction of the rainbow believing that at its end lies a pot of gold
and good fortune. They finally landed at what is now Barangay Lumangbayan and established the
first settlement which they named Pinamalayan. They found good fortune in the new land which
brought them prosperity because of the good soil and abundant resources.
Some other sources attribute the name Pinamalayan simply to the fact that the area was once a
vast area planted to rice, hence the name “pinagpalayan” or “Pinamalayan”. Since then the place
th
grew and became a town. However during the entire 18 century, Pinamalayan was one of the
coastal areas frequently attacked by Moro pirates. People were decimated and many fled to the
interior for safety. In spite of all these, the town site remained in that place until 1916 when it was
transferred by the Americans to its present site.
In the year 1888 the territory of Pinamalayan included the settlements of Pola, Sumagui, and
Anilao. At that time, the gobernadorcillo was Juan Morente, Jr., who assumed position until 1898
when the uprising against the Spanish government broke out. Morente Jr. joined the revolutionary
forces as a captain. Juan Medina replaced him as the town head. When the Spaniards
surrendered, Morente Jr. became governor of the province of Mindoro while Cornelio Nable was
appointed as the municipal president.
On April 28, 1904 under the American government, the towns of Pola and Bongabong were
consolidated with Pinamalayan by virtue of Act 1155. It was only on January 12,1912 that Pola
regained its status as a regular town. Bongabong likewise regained its township status on March
1919 under Act 2824.
During the American period, the town was transferred to its present site. The American planners
made sure that this new town will be laid out properly according to a planning system of wide
symmetrical vertical and horizontal roads with proper drainage facilities. A big plaza was further
constructed in front of the municipal building. Pinamalayan still stands today as a model in town
planning to all the municipalities in Oriental Mindoro.
When the Japanese occupied Mindoro in 1942, Dr. Abelardo Bunag, the mayor, joined the
underground movement. The Japanese appointed Carlos Aguilucho followed by Manuel Medina
until the Americans returned on January 15, 1945.
The town steadily grew from 1947 to 1990 under various administrations. There are now two
private colleges and three secondary schools and several barangay high schools. A private
sports complex may be found in Zone I. Interesting tourist destinations include the beaches of Pili,
Banilad and Ranzo. At the peak of Mount Longos, one can see the panoramic vista of the stretch
of sea that separates eastern Mindoro from Marinduque and the Tres Reyes islands. Other areas
that would interest mountaineers are the towering ranges of Mt. Dumali, Mt. Beyer, Mt. Worcester,
Agus Hill and Bongol Point.

Final Report
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose and Background
The Municipality of Pinamalayan, in association with CEST Incorporated,

prepared the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and Land Use Plan
(LUP) covering a ten-year period from 2001 to 2010. The primary objective of the
planning exercise is to formulate a CDP and LUP that will serve as the blueprint
for growth and as a reference for local leaders in formulating development
policies and identifying programs and projects.
The over-all development direction of the municipality is to emerge as a major

food basket and a progressive trading hub of MIMAROPA and the rest of Region
IV, with sustainable agriculture, diversified trading activities, enhanced tourism,
conserved and protected environment, inhabited by God-centered, empowered
and nature- and peace-loving citizenry.
Pinamalayan’s Ten-Year Program of Growth and Development seeks to position

the municipality as a major food basket and trading hub in Region IV. The
municipality shall further play a major role as a business and recreational center
in Oriental Mindoro.
1.2 Consultation and Liaison
The CDP/LUP is a product of an extensive consultation process. As part of the

consensus-building process, outputs at key stages were presented for discussion
in multi-sectoral consultative fora. In these meetings, workshop groups finalized
the vision of the municipality, conducted an evaluation of the land use options
using Goals Achievement Matrix (GAM) and agreed on strategies, policies,
programs and projects. Representatives from provincial and municipal
governments as well as from the private business sectors, NGOs and civic
organizations have been active participants in the formulation of the CDP/LUP.
A comprehensive description of the consultation process in the preparation of the

CDP/LUP is provided in Annex C.
1.3 Report Structure
 Volume I – Situation Analysis
Volume I consists of the Situation Analysis. It documents the current state and
pattern of development taking into consideration several significant contributory
factors such as the natural environment, population growth and distribution,
economic activities, transport and infrastructure as well as public administration.
This comprehensive inter-sectoral diagnosis served as critical inputs in the
formulation of the Development Framework.

1-2
Final Report
2.0 THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
2.1 Key Concerns
 Forest Denudation
Based on the Soils/Land Resources Evaluation Project (BWSM, 1986), which

was supplemented by ocular inspection, kaingin activities are noticeable in about
387 hectares. Several portions along the hilly areas of barangays Sabang, Sta.
Isabel, Guinhawa, Pili and Banilad are partly denuded. Key informant interviews
revealed that past illegal logging activities in the Municipality of Pinamalayan
have caused serious forest degradation.
 Coastal Zone Degradation
During the survey along the coastline of Pinamalayan, poor marine water quality
and coraline cover were observed in some areas, particularly in Barangays
Wawa and Zone 1. These may be attributed to illegal fishing activities,
indiscriminate dumping of domestic wastes, coastal erosion and siltation.
 River Siltation and Sedimentation
Erosion problems are observable in some rivers in the municipality. In Barangay

Inclanay, a school building collapsed due to erosion caused by the river flow.
Erosion problems generally result as a consequence of forest degradation.
 Flooding
Forest degradation, solid waste dumped along waterways and the absence of
adequate drainage facilities are but some of the causes of flooding in the
municipality. Flooding primarily occurs along the flood plain areas of the
municipality that includes Barangays Cacawan, Lumang Bayan and Poblacion.
 Solid Waste Management
The existing 3.774 hectare dumpsite in Barangay Maningcol, which is located in

a hilly area, may pose significant impacts on downstream barangays and could
impair river water quality. An efficient solid waste management program is
needed to properly address the collection and transport of waste particularly the
barangays not served by the existing garbage collection system.
2.2 Physical Character
2.2.1 Geographical Location
The Municipality of Pinamalayan, which has a total land area of 27,800 has., lies
almost at the center of the Province of Oriental Mindoro. It is about 118
kilometers from the Municipality of Puerto Galera and 120 kilometers from the
town of Bulalacao, the last town of the province going to the south. Situated
along the coastline tip, it resembles a hand pointing towards the island of
Marinduque (refer to Figure 2.1).
2-1
Final Report
It is bounded in the north by the Municipalities of Socorro and Pola; in the west
by the Province of Occidental Mindoro; in the east by Tablas Strait and in the
south by Quinabigan River and the Municipality of Gloria (refer to Figure 2.2).
2.2.2 Topography
Plains dominate the coastal areas of Pinamalayan, particularly along Tablas

Strait. Westward from Barangay Sabang to the provincial boundary, the
topography is somewhat hilly or rolling plains. The mountains in the municipality
are Mount Dumali, Mount Beyer and Mount Wercester.
2.2.3 Slope
Barangays located in the central part of Pinamalayan have slopes ranging from 0
to 3 percent while the steeper slopes can be found in the southwestern and
northeastern portions of the municipality. Table 2.1 summarizes the slope
characteristics of Pinamalayan.

2.2.5 Meteorology
Meteorologic data were obtained from PAGASA's Synoptic Station in Calapan.
Climate
Pinamalayan falls under Climatic Type III which is described as having no very
pronounced maximum rain period with a short dry season lasting from one to
three months. Areas of this type are partly shielded from the northeast monsoon
and are also benefited by rainfall caused by tropical cyclones.
Rainfall
The rainfall pattern indicates that heavy downpours of rain occur in June, July,
September, October and November while minimal rainfall occurs in May,
December, February, March and April. June and July, however are the wettest
months while March to April are the driest. The average rainfall is 175.2 mm.
In agricultural production, rainfall is often the limiting factor affecting plant growth.
Problems on irrigation, excessive movement of soils and retention of the needed
moisture of soil are affected by rainfall.
Temperature
o
Temperature ranges from 30.8 degrees centigrade ( C) average maximum to
24.8oC average minimum. The coldest months are December and February with
temperature going as low as 23 and 23.3oC, respectively. The month of May has
o
the highest temperature of 33.5 C.
Relative Humidity
Average relative humidity refers to the measure of the moisture content of the
atmosphere. The month of October has the highest relative humidity of 89
percent while the months of March and April are the lowest with 78 percent of
relative humidity.
Wind Direction
Wind direction shifts about four times a year. The northeast monsoon prevails
from August to December of the year and continues from January to March of
the following year. In April, wind direction is east to northeast. In May and June
it blows from the southeast. Finally, it becomes easterly in October.
2.2.6 Natural Hazards
2-3
Final Report
Flood Hazard
Pinamalayan, like its neighboring municipalities, is frequently visited by typhoons

particularly during rainy seasons. During heavy rains, practically all rivers and
tributaries overflow to the lower areas. Barangays Cacawan, Sta. Isabel, Lumang
Bayan, Macanlig and Poblacion are mainly affected by floods, being in floodpalin
areas.
Floods usually occur due to the following reasons: run-off accumulation coming
from surrounding elevated areas; their low physiographic positions; poor
infiltration; permeability characteristics; and drainability of outlets. Flood-prone
areas are perceived as poor for urban uses. Flood limitation could be minimized
by proper and adequate planning for draining unnecessary water.
2.2.7 Air Quality
Minimal air pollution due to dust generation is generated by the limited types of
industrial activities in the municipality. These include gravel and sand quarrying,
hollow block making and ricemills, among others.
2.2.8 Water Resources
Rivers, Lakes, and Springs
Several rivers and streams cut across the broad plain of Pinamalayan. The
major river that traverses the municipality is the Pula River. The Pula River is
categorized as Class C by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR). The beneficial use of Class C is for recreational, and
industrial uses as well as for the propagation and growth of fish and other aquatic
resources.
The other river systems in Pinamalayan are Macanlig, Babahurin, Pinamalayan,

Sabang, Buli, and Quinabigan River. Creeks, on the other hand, include Banilad,
Pili, Puting-Tubig, Macanlig, Matood-tood and Papandayan.
Groundwater
The types of rocks lain beneath the municipality is alluvium, known for good
water bearing abilities. As such, the municipality possesses fair to good
groundwater resources.
Potential areas of high yielding wells can be found in Barangays Zone I to IV,
Cacawan, Sta. Rita, etc.
2.3 Environmental Management
One of the main thrusts of the municipality is to ensure that environmental

management programs are implemented to attain sustainable development.
Several programs that focus on environmental protection are now in place and
discussed as follows:
Clean and Green Program
2-4
Final Report
Under the municipality’s Agriculture Program and consistent with the Clean and
Green efforts, the Agriculture Office maintains two Agricultural Center and
Breeding Stations (ACBS) in Barangays Sto. Niño and Malaya. In Barangay
Malaya, a hectare of land has been planted with Mahogany and Gimelina while
another hectare was devoted to the intercropping of mango and banana. Sto.
Niño ACBS, on the other hand, contributed to the scattered tree-planting
programs of different schools and barangays on selected sites.
Another flagship project of the municipality is the Municipal Park. It is a

landscaped theme park located in front of the municipal hall right at the center of
the Poblacion.
Watershed Management Program
In coordination with the Low-Income Upland Communities Project (LIUCP), the

local government sponsored a series of consultative meetings on watershed
management for upland communities. Watershed Management Councils were
organized in Sabang (Pula River Watershed Area) and in Guinhawa (Babahurin
Watershed Area) to formulate and implement plans and programs on upland
development and watershed protection.
Solid Waste Management
Waste Management is a national issue and is among the primary concerns of

the present municipal administration. As a matter of fact, the municipality had
invested much for the construction of facilities and acquisition of equipment for
garbage collections.
At present, the municipality maintains a 3.774 hectare dumping site in Barangay

Maningcol. During the visit at the dumpsite, piles of garbage were spread all
over the area. Burning is also practiced to reduce the volume of garbage. The
site is located in a hilly area which may pose significant impacts (e.g., landslides,
land degradation, accidents, etc.) on downstream barangays and could impair
the nearby river water quality.
Pinamalayan has one dump truck and one stake truck for garbage collection.
Garbage collection is done on a daily basis even on Sundays and holidays. Each
truck is manned by a team consisting of one driver and three garbage
collectors. The dump truck, on each trip, usually hauls about eight cu.m. of
garbage. On an ordinary day, it would complete three trips thereby collecting
some 24 cu.m. of garbage everyday. The stake truck, on the other hand, hauls
about six cu.m. of garbage in a trip and usually takes four trips a day including
nightshift. Hence it collects another 24 cu.m. a day. All in all, the total garbage
collected and disposed daily by both trucks is approximately 48 cubic meters.
Another project on garbage collection is the strategic placement of garbage cans

throughout the Poblacion.
An efficient solid waste management program is needed to properly address the

disposal, collection and transport of waste particularly from barangays not served
by the existing garbage collection system.
2-5
Final Report
Drainage and Sewerage/Liquid Waste Management
The drainage system refers to the network of passageways (both natural and
man-made) intended for the collection, transmission and disposal of the surface
run-off or rainwater. On the other hand, the sewerage system refers to those
intended for the collection, transmission, treatment and disposal of domestic
wastewater.
There is no existing sanitary sewerage system. Majority of the residents in the

Poblacion use open canals while other households dispose wastewater into
septic tanks. Similarly, wastewater from commercial and industrial
establishments flows to open canals, ditches and other water channels.
A joint project with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is the
installation of a Biogas Reactor in the slaughterhouse for the treatment of wastes
due to slaughtering activities. The gas produced from biogas digesters will be
used to fuel the furnace. This project will eliminate the discharge of untreated
wastes to the nearby waterbodies.
Mine Tailing Wastes (from the Proposed Mining Company)
An international mining company is conducting a feasibility study on Nickel and

Cobalt Mining, targeting Barangay Pili as the site of a Processing Plant, which
will use Submarine Tailing Disposal (STD) method. A critical review of the
proposed scheme should be given attention, since the environmental impacts of
mining operations are considered irreversible and would cause alteration of the
present land use and the potential degradation of marine water quality and
marine ecosystem.
2.4 Land Suitability Assessment
Land suitability assessment is conducted to determine the location of Protection

Areas and those that may be earmarked for urban development (Development
Opportunity Areas). Protection Areas include those that are part of the National
Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) per RA 7586. These areas should
be “managed to enhance biological diversity and protected against destructive
human exploitations”. Other areas that should be accorded the same degree of
protection include Environmentally Critical Areas (Proclamation 2146), non-
NIPAS areas (NPFP), and SAFDZ/NPAAAD (RA 8435).
Lands outside the delineated Protection Areas are then identified as

Development Opportunity Areas and are assessed for potential urban
development. The land suitability assessment provides the basic framework in
determining the various land use strategies of Pinamalayan.
Several maps are generated to identify and/or determine the Protection Areas in
the municipality of Pinamalayan. These maps provide the physical and
environmental features of the municipality, which are then translated into the
degree of constraints. Several references were used that include, among others,
the Soil/Land Resources Map, Slope/Erosion and Soil Maps of the Province of
Oriental Mindoro from the Bureau of Soils and Water Management, to accurately
delineate sensitive areas. Each map is briefly described as follows:
2-6
Final Report
2.4.1 Land Management Unit (Figure 2.3)
The map shows the location of fishponds, beach ridges and swales, alluvial
plains and valley. These are considered part of the Protection Areas, as these
are either environmentally constrained or critical.
2.4.2 Soils and Sub-Soils (Figure 2.4)
This category evaluates the area in terms of its potential for agricultural
development. The types of soil in the municipality of Pinamalayan include the
San Manuel, Quingua, Luisiana and Maranlig Series and Rough Mountain Soils.
The soil types generally range from good to fair agricultural potential. San
Manuel and Quingua are considered as the two most suitable soils for lowland
and upland rice production.
2.4.3 Slope/Soil Erosion (Figure 2.5)
This physical feature defines the critical areas in terms of slope and the risk of
erosion. The map shows the slope categories suitable for urban and non-urban
development. These categories are discussed as follows:
Level to Nearly Level- areas with 0 to 3 percent slope. These areas comprise the
Poblacion, portions of Barangays Wawa, Lumangbayan and Papandayan,
Considering slope alone, these areas are normally part of the prime agricultural
lands aside from being highly suitable for urban development.
Gently Sloping to Undulating– areas with 3 to 8 percent slope. The Rosario area
resembles this type of terrain. According to slope characterization, these areas
are still suitable for urban development and general agricultural production.
Sloping to Undulating lands – areas with 8 to 18 percent slope. These areas are
quite susceptible to erosion. They are fairly suitable for intense urban
development. Agricultural production, on the other hand, should be practiced
with appropriate soil conservation techniques.
The undulating to rolling (18 to 30 percent), rolling to hilly (30 to 50 percent
slope) to very steep (greater than 50 percent) areas are highly susceptible to
erosion. Intense urban developments are not encouraged due to the instability of
slopes. Agricultural activities should also observe soil conservation measures.
2.4.4 Drainage Condition (Figure 2.6)

This physical feature identifies the flood prone areas in the municipality.
 Flood Prone Areas – This covers floodplain areas subjected to flooding and
cover Barangays Cacawan, Lumangbayan and Poblacion.
 Dry Land - This category basically covers the areas located in the hilly and
mountainous areas of the municipality.
2.4.5 Water Catchment Area (Figure 2.7)
2-7
Final Report
This addresses the accessibility to water and the potential for groundwater.
Three categories were identified which include the shallow and deep well areas,
the potential areas for high-yielding wells and difficult areas.
Difficult Areas – This category refers to areas where it is difficult to exploit
groundwater; mostly located on the northern portion of the Municipality.
Shallow and Deep Well Areas - This category has very minimal constraints to
development because recharge areas are localized due to low aquifer
permeability.
Potential Areas of High-Yielding Wells - the barangays of Cacawan, Poblacion,
and Sta. Rita comprise this category.
2.4.6 River/Coastal Zone Preservation (Figure 2.8)
Features attributed to this map refer to the fishing grounds and coastal zone
protection and preservation. The river system in the municipality of Pinamalayan
flows to the Pula River and drains to Tablas Strait. The categories are described
as follows:
Fishing Grounds – this category refers to the coastal area along Tablas Strait.
Rivers and streams - easement of about 3, 20, and 40 meters from both sides
throughout the entire length of any river is considered to be part of the Non-
NIPAS areas. Areas within this range are subject to easement for public use in
the interest of recreation, fishing, floatage, etc.
2.4.7 Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Zones (Figure 2.9)
This delineates the declared SAFDZ areas per SB Resolution 69-99. In

accordance with the provisions of the AFMA, these areas are considered part of
the Protection Areas. Identified SAFDZ areas cover approximately 7,585.87 has.
These are located in Barangays Maliancog, Pambisan-Munti, Bangbang, Sto.
Niño, Bacungan, Anoling, Buli, Sta. Isabel, Cacawan, Sta. Rita, Maningcol and
Marfrancisco.
The breakdown of SAFDZ areas is presented in Table 2.3 (refer also to figure

2.4.8 Land Classification (Figure 2.10)
The Land Classification Map shows the Forestlands and the Alienable and
Disposable (A and D) areas of Pinamalayan as delineated by DENR. The
municipality has three Timberland areas. The two largest are found at its western
periphery and a portion of Barangay Sabang is located within them. The other
Timberland area, which the municipality shares with Pola, is located at its
northeastern boundary. This is located within Barangays Guinhawa and Banilad.
The rest of the municipality is alienable and disposable.

No area of the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) are

designated as Alienable and Disposable. Located within A and D Lands,
however, are a number of other Environmentally Critical Areas (Proclamation
2146). These comprise sections of the municipality that have slopes greater than
50 percent, flood prone areas and those covered by the Strategic Agriculture and
Fisheries Development Zone. Sections 2.4.3, 2.4.4 and 2.4.7 separately discuss
these areas in detail.
2.4.9 Preservation and Conservation Areas (Figure 2.11)
Preservation and Conservation Areas are hereby delineated in order to identify

broad areas suitable for urban versus non-urban usage. It sets up a framework
on where to locate future urban development considering sensitive environmental
and physical factors.
Protection and Conservation Areas cover about 19,488.81 has. (89.68%) while
Development Opportunity Areas extend to about 2,243.21 has. (10.32%).
2.5 Development Needs
 Forest Management
For the past years, it was observed that forest areas in the municipality of
Pinamalayan are threatened by denudation mainly due to kaingin practices and
illegal logging. Logging, unless properly controlled can cause serious damage to
forest and soils. The practice of shifting cultivation or “kaingin”, on the other
hand, though individual clearings are small, creates significant impacts on the
forest of Pinamalayan because of their numbers. The indiscriminate cutting,
burning and clearing of forest areas and cultivation of marginal upland areas
2-9
Final Report
have been very significant causes of deforestation and environmental

degradation.
For these reasons, the management, protection, reforestation and/or

rehabilitation of denuded areas in the upland/forested barangays and tree
planting in the lowland barangays of Pinamalayan would become major
components of environmental planning in the next ten years.
 Coastal Zone Management
Like any other coastal bound municipality in the province of Oriental Mindoro,
Pinamalayan’s coastal areas are also being threatened by degradation
specifically due to population pressure, siltation and destructive fishing
techniques.
Illegal fishing, e. g., dynamite fishing, trawl, foreign fishing boats encroachment,
etc., does not only alter the marine water resources of the municipality but also
affect the livelihood of the people of Pinamalayan. This illegal activity should be
prevented since majority of the population relies on fishing as a way of living.
There is a need to strengthen the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management

Council (FARMC) group organized for the purpose of patrolling/monitoring the
coastal areas of the municipality. Moreover, an intensive information campaign
should be undertaken to educate the people and increase the awareness
particularly in the coastal barangays of the municipality.
Siltation is still singled out as the most important factor seriously affecting the
coral reefs. Logging activities in the upland areas and other activities producing
high sediment loads, such as mine tailings, should be prevented and controlled.
To maintain the cleanliness of the coastal areas in the municipality, coastal

clean-up activities, e.g., “dampot basura”, eliminating the sources of garbage,
etc., should be conducted regularly.
 Erosion Control Measures
As a consequence of forest degradation, river siltation occurs due to increased

surface run-off because of reduced infiltration in the upper catchment areas.
Thus, less water emerges from springs during the dry season and the base flow
of rivers is reduced. Riverbeds are choked with sediments, increasing the
tendency of floods.
There is a need to undertake river protection and management measures to

reduce if not totally eliminate the cases of erosion and sedimentation in the
municipality. In addition, a watershed management study needs to be
undertaken in the major rivers of Pinamalayan to assess the required
management and protection measures to improve and/or preserve the
environmental conditions of the covered area.
 Flood Control
2-10
Final Report
Forest denudation is one of the major causes of flooding in the low-lying areas of
the municipality. The absence of an adequate drainage system contributes to
the fast increasing level and very slow subsidence of floods in the area,
especially during strong typhoons.
Flooding often results to more serious problems. During periods of flood, solid
waste that has been open dumped whether on land or in waterways, finds its way
to the nearby water bodies. Not only does this further detriment the water
quality, it poses significant health and sanitation problems.
Efficient watershed management program, afforestation, and reforestation along

with the development of an efficient drainage system would address the
problems of siltation, soil erosion and excessive surface run-offs.
 Solid Waste Management
Like its neighboring municipalities, the method of disposal of Pinamalayan, i. e.,

open dumping, burning, etc., is an unacceptable way of solid waste disposal. In
the absence of available data on per capita solid waste generation rate, 0.40
kg/capita/day, which is typical in rural municipalities was assumed.
In the next ten years, solid waste generation is estimated to reach 265,157 cu. m.
This will require a landfill area of about 4.42 hectares for waste disposal.
Compared to the existing dumpsite area of the municipality located in Barangay
Maningcol, having an area of 3.77 hectares, there is a need to undertake waste
minimization, recycling and reusing.

The existing site, which is located in a hilly area, may pose significant impacts on
downstream barangays and could impair river water quality. The site should
therefore be evaluated based on the criteria set by the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), whether this can be converted into
a sanitary landfill or not.
A sustained public information campaign program on solid waste management

(i.e., composting, waste minimization, reusing/recycling and segregation) is
deemed necessary particularly in barangays not covered by the present
collection system to prevent the indiscriminate dumping of garbage. If solid waste
segregation, minimization, recycling/reusing can be properly and effectively
implemented, the solid waste to be generated by the municipality in the next ten
2-11
Final Report
years can still be accommodated. Otherwise, there will be a need to develop a

new site for solid waste disposal.
At present, the municipal government should focus its attention on solid waste
collection. There is a need to efficiently and effectively collect garbage especially
from the remote barangays.

Final Report
3.0 POPULATION, DEMOGRAPHY AND LAND USE
3.1 Key Concerns
 Relatively young population since more than one-third of the population

(61.3%) is 24 years old and below.
 One fourth (23.8%) of the female population were in their reproductive ages
(15-49 years old) which might indicate a moderately increasing birth rate in
the succeeding years.
 Sprawling pattern of settlement growth is observed in the adjacent barangays

of the Poblacion, more specifically in Barangays Marfrancisco, Wawa, Sta.
Rita and Cacawan which encroach into environmentally constrained areas
such as swamps and prime agricultural lands.
3.2 Population: Levels, Growth, Distribution and Movements
3.2.1 Levels and Growth Patterns
Pinamalayan registered a total population of 65,903 in 1995 with a growth rate of

2.32 percent between 1990 and 1995. A 0.06 percent decrease in growth rate
was observed in the next five years (2.26%). The municipality registered a
positive 2.4 percent population increase over the fifteen-year period, 1960-1975.
From that time, population growth established a fluctuating trend. From 1975 to
1990, decreasing growth rates were observed, then an increase in 1995 and a
decrease in 2000 (refer to Table 3.1).

Generally, Pinamalayan has a lower growth rate than Oriental Mindoro, except
during the period of 1970 to 1975 and 1990 to 1995. From 1990 to 1995, it
posted a growth rate of 2.26 as compared to the 2.04 percent of the province.
Although the over-all provincial growth rate established a decreasing trend,
Pinamalayan, on the other hand, increased growth rates from 1970 to 1975 and
1990 to 1995 (refer to Table 3.2).

Final Report
Based on the 1995 and 2000 population count, the annual growth rate was
estimated to be 2.26 percent. Assuming that a constant rate will persist in the
next 10 years, Pinamalayan’s population is expected to reach 92,208 by 2010.
The gross density of the municipality may be computed in two ways. First is by
dividing the projected population by the total land area of the municipality. Using
this method, gross density by 2010 will average at 3.32 persons per hectare. The
second way is by excluding the Forest Zone, which forms part of about 41
percent (11,493 Ha.) of Pinamalayan. The gross density by 2010, using this
method, is estimated at 5.65 persons per hectare. This may give a more realistic
picture of the gross municipal density.
The projected population and gross density is presented in Table 3.3 and the
average growth rates and projected population by barangay is presented in Table
3.4.

Final Report
3.2.2 Population Age-Sex Structure
As per the population distribution by age and sex, it appeared that there were
slightly more males (33,274) than females (32,622). This resulted to an over-all
sex ratio of 102, meaning that there were 102 males for every 100 females in the
municipality (refer to Table 3.6).
While it defines the volume of demand for various goods and services and supply
of human resources, the age-sex structure of a population presents important
implications to future growth both in terms of immediate and long-term effects.
For instance, the fact that one-fourth (23.8%) of the female population in 1995
were in their reproductive ages (15-49 years) may indicate a moderately
increasing birth rate at least in the near future.

Assuming that the 1995 participation rate per age group persists until 2010, it is
estimated that almost half (49.6%) of the population shall belong to the young
age bracket (1 to 19 years old) (Table 3.7 refers).

Final Report
Population growth, over a period of time, leads to an increase in the working age
population which is a prime determinant of the labor supply. Overall, 55 percent
of the total population in 1995 were in their economically productive years (15 to
64 years old).
The age-dependency ratio in 1995 was estimated at 80 per hundred working

persons. This implies that 100 working individuals would have to support 80
more persons aside from themselves. The dependency burden falls on the
working group and the dependents comprise about 45 percent of the total
population (refer to Table 3.8). The projected age-structure from 2001 to 2010 is
presented in Table 3.9. It is assumed that participation rate per age structure in
1995 will remain to be the trend in the next ten years.

In terms of sex distribution, the unofficial results from the year 2000 census show
that the municipality has an almost equal distribution of male (50.63%) and
female sexes (49.37%). The projected sex distribution is computed based on the
assumed persistence of 2000 participation rates by sex and by barangay (refer to
Table 3.10).

Final Report
3.2.3 Number of Households and Household Size
Estimates and projections of the number of households are extremely useful in

planning especially for mass housing and other specific types of utilities. Ideally,
the number of households should grow parallel to population. In the case of
Pinamalayan, the number of households grew at a faster rate than its population.
In fact, while the household population grew by 0.06 percent between 1990 and
1995, the number of households increased by 3.20 percent during the same five-
year period (refer to Table 3.11).

Source: 1990 and 1995 Census of Population
Based on the 1990 to 1995 growth rates of 3.19 percent for the number of
households and 0.06 percent for household population, it is projected that by
2010, total households shall reach 20,745 while household population is set at
66,652 (refer to Table 3.12).

3.2.4 Spatial Distribution of Population
Data on population distribution and densities by barangay presented in Table

3.14 indicate the unbalanced and skewed spatial distribution of the municipality’s
population. The 1995 population data indicates that the most populated
barangays of Pinamalayan were Marfrancisco, Papandayan, Wawa, Sabang, Pili,
Zones I and II of the Poblacion, Cacawan, Isabel, Sta. Rita, Panggulayan,
Nabuslot and Lumangbayan. These barangays alone accounted for around 54
percent of the municipality’s aggregate population in 1995.
The most densely populated areas were the urban barangays and those located
nearest the center or Poblacion area. Within the Poblacion, Zone I exhibited the
highest population concentration of 187.3 inhabitants per hectare in 1995. The
least densely populated were Barangays Pambisan Munti and Banilad with only
one person per hectare. It is important to note that of the 37 barangays, 28 had
exhibited very low densities between one to 10 persons per hectare.

Final Report
In terms of urban – rural distribution, it can be noted that from 1990 to 1995, the
population growth in rural barangays was higher than in urban barangays by 1.6
percent. An opposite trend, however, is observed in the succeeding five years
(1995-2000), wherein, growth accelerated in the urban barangays (2.75 percent).
Growth in the rural barangays, in turn, slowed down to 2.20 percent during the
same period (refer to Table 3.16).

The growth rate of the urban population, based on the 2000 population count,
was 2.75 percent. Using this as a benchmark in projecting urban-rural distribution
by 2010, it is estimated that majority (87.7 %) would still belong to the rural
population while more than one-tenth (12.3%) shall be urban (refer to Table
3.17).

Final Report
3.3 Land Use
3.3.1 Land Use Development
Historical data shows that the development of settlements in Pinamalayan may

initially be attributed to the establishment of villages by voyagers. The town
center stood for centuries in Barangay Lumangbayan but was transferred to its
present site in 1914.
Based on the 1983 Comprehensive Development Plan, general land uses at that
time were divided into built-up areas, agricultural, open grassland, forestland,
industrial and others which included waterways, fishponds, and road networks
(refer to Table 3.18).
Of the total built-up area, only 52.3 hectares (16.05%) comprised the Poblacion
indicating an already dispersed pattern of urban growth. More than half (52.14%)
of the total land area of the municipality was devoted to agriculture. Major
agricultural crops planted in the area included coconut and rice. Areas with 8-15
percent slope were classified as grassland. These comprised close to one-fifth
(17.46%) of the municipality. These were found in Barangays Sabang, Buli, Pili,
Bungol, Banilad and Ranzo. Tables 3.18 and 3.19 present the breakdown of
general and urban land uses in 1983.

3.3.2 Present Land Utilization
Existing General and Urban Land Use
Pinamalayan has highly diverse land characteristics. The southeastern coastline

is characterized by beaches, swamps and marshes. Beach areas are mainly
planted with coconuts though there are some resort establishments and
settlements areas. Tourism-oriented facilities have developed along the beaches
of Barangays Banilad, Ranzo, Pili, Quinabigan, Papandayan and Guinhawa.
3-17
Final Report
Agricultural uses are still predominant. Open grassland, though, is fairly

extensive. These may be found in the upper regions of Ranzo, Banilad,
Guinhawa and Sta. Isabel. These are also found in the central and south-central
portions of the municipality.
The Poblacion is composed of Zones I to IV and Wawa with a total land area of
64.5 hectares. It is the center of major trading activities in the municipality. It is
defined by an almost-grid like pattern of streets with a pronounced increase in
building density in its business district: around the public market. The business
district is characterized by low-to medium intensity developments: an interspersal
of one to three-storey commercial buildings. Commercial activities are dominated
by small establishments engaged in retailing, such as grocery stores, food stores,
house wares, clothes, slippers, shoes, gifts, hardware, auto supply, machine
shop, photo shop and appliances. Auto repair shops and rice mills characterize
industrial activities.
A grid pattern street network characterizes the Poblacion. Three roads, namely
Del Pilar, Madrid and Mabini have convenient 20 meter rights-of-way (ROW).
Located within the intersections of the major roads are neighborhood commercial
areas. Institutional uses within the Poblacion include the municipal government
center as well as other local government offices. Schools, hospital, recreational
as well as other major community facilities may also be found in the Poblacion.
As expected, urban sprawl is experienced by the adjacent barangays of Wawa,

Cacawan, Marfrancisco and Sta. Rita. There is a marked concentration of
residential, commercial and institutional establishments with few light industries in
these areas. It has also been extending in a linear fashion following the National
Road, from Socorro to Gloria and the Provincial Road leading to the airport.
Figure 3.1 shows the existing general land use and the schedule of existing
general land uses is provided in Table 3.20.

portions of Marfrancisco. The remaining barangays have significant areas

devoted to agriculture. Barangays covered by the watershed include Banilad,
Buli, Guinhawa, Ranzo and Sta. Isabel. The forest zone is found in Barangays
Sabang, Sta. Isabel, Guinhawa and Banilad.

Landmarks
The Pinamalayan Rainbow Arc is considered to be the most prominent historical

landmark in the municipality. Its origins may be traced to historical data that the
voyagers from Marinduque settled in Pinamalayan guided (ipinamalay) by a
rainbow. The Arc, standing at the center of the Municipal Park in front of the
municipal hall, symbolizes the founding of Pinamalayan.
A similar landmark, a rainbow arc, may be found at the Marfancisco Triangle.

This was developed in 1980. It marks the main entrance from the national road
to the Poblacion. The First Artesian Well located in the Public Market may be also
considered a significant landmark in the municipality.
Other features which may be considered as landmarks are the lighthouse and the
Municipal Government complex, which can be accessed along tree-lined roads.

Final Report
4.0 LOCAL ECONOMY

4.1 Key Concerns
 Pinamalayan’s agriculture sector needs urgent attention in terms of

infrastructure, technical, marketing and financial support services. Production
should be expanded, diversified and, to the extent possible, transformed into
high value - added goods.
 There is a need to attract more diversified economic activities participating in

the agri-business and agri-industrial sectors.
 The tourism potential of Pinamalayan has not been properly maximized as a

source of economic activity. There are no tourist facilities that have yet
optimized the white sand beaches nor the strategic business location of
Pinamalayan.
4.2 Agriculture
Of the 27,800 hectares of Pinamalayan, around 52.14 percent (14,670.85

hectares) is considered as agricultural crop lands, 16.82 percent (4,675.10
hectares) as pasture lands, and 0.34 percent (95 hectares) as fishpond areas.
4.2.1 Crop Production
As of April 2000, Pinamalayan’s major agricultural crops (based on area planted)

are as follows: rice (2,962 hectares); banana (2,335.75 hectares); coconut
(1,930.30 hectares); mango (389.40 hectares); and citrus (340.15 hectares).
Grains Production
 Rice
Within the provincial context, Pinamalayan ranks tenth of the 15 Oriental Mindoro
municipalities in terms of rice production in rainfed areas and third in irrigated
areas.
It can be noted that there is an over-all decline in area planted, production and
productivity from 1997 to 1998 but an increase was registered in the succeeding
year. In the early months of 1998, almost 80 hectares of rice were not supplied
with irrigation water by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) due to the El
Niño phenomenon. An estimated 2,864 metric tons of palay were destroyed
when the rainy season came at the last quarter of the year due to La Niña.
The twin calamities resulted in the reduction of the total rice production by 28
percent in 1998 and also reduced productivity by 15 percent. In 1999, rice
production increased by as much as 30.10 percent. An increase in average
productivity per season of 96 cavans per hectare (or 4.82 mt/ha) was also
attained, bringing back the productivity to the 1997 level of 4.83 mt/ha (refer to
Table 4.1).

It is worth highlighting that Pinamalayan has attained the highest rice productivity
level in irrigated areas in 1999 among all municipalities in the province. An
average productivity of 4.90 mt/ha (or 98 cav/ha) was attained by rice farmers for
irrigated areas. It even set a high average record of 5.02 mt/ha (100.4 cav/ha)
for the wet season harvest of 1999 (refer to Table 4.2).

It was also a good year for Pinamalayan rainfed rice farmers, harvesting an
average of 3.81 mt/ha, second only to Socorro, which had a total average yield of
3.91 mt/ha (Table 4.3). These achievements must be reflective of the quality and
effectiveness of extension and other support services extended to the rice
farmers by the Municipal Agriculturist’s Office (MAO), Department of Agriculture
(DA) and Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR).

4.2.2 Livestock and Poultry
Livestock and poultry production are mainly backyard.
In the large ruminant category, Pinamalayan ranked fifth in terms of carabao

production and sixth in terms of cattle production (Table 4.7). It is ranked sixth in
swine production and tenth in goat production in the small ruminant classification.
Its predominant poultry species are chicken (ranked seventh) and ducks (ranked
tenth).
From 1999 to 2000, there is an increasing trend in the population of both large
and small ruminants. Carabao population increased by 13 percent while cattle
grew by 33 percent. The opposite happened for ducks and native chicken,
where a decrease of 31 percent and 47 percent occurred, respectively (refer to
Table 4.8).

The top seven barangays (out of 37 barangays) with the most number (50%) of
carabao population are: Sabang, Guinhawa, Calingag, Inclanay, Malaya, Sta.
Isabel and Bacungan. The eight major cattle producing barangays (53% of cattle
population) are: Cacawan, Calingag, Sabang, Banilad, Pili, Ranzo, Malaya and
Bacungan. The 13 barangays with the most hog population are located in
Bangbang, Sta. Maria, Panggulayan, Sta. Isabel, Nabuslot, Banilad, Cacawan,
Anoling, Bacungan, Buli, Ranzo, Sabang and Quinabigan representing 60% of
the total hog population. Commercial cattle farms are located in Calingag and
Papandayan. The centers of native chicken production are barangays Banilad,
Malaya, Rosario, Cacawan, Calingag, Maningcol, Panggulayan, and Del Razon
which constitute 47 percent of the total chicken population.
The people of Pinamalayan are low meat consumers. Of the 33 kgs. total per
capita meat requirement per year, only 20 percent is being satisfied or about 6.8
kgs. This situation may be attributed to a confluence of the following factors,
namely: (a) abundance of marine fish products as protein substitute; and (b) low
livestock population. Theoretically, in order to fill the gap, livestock and poultry
population have to be increased by four times its current level (refer to Table
4.9).

The average yield in 1999 was set at 350 tons of fish.
Fishpond Culture
 Brackishwater Fish
Bangus (milkfish) and sugpo (black tiger prawn) are the most common species
cultured in four harvesting seasons per year. Around 49 hectares has been
devoted to polyculture operation while 41 hectares to bangus monoculture (refer
to Table 4.12). Average production per harvest ranges from 500 to 600
kilograms per hectare. Operators source their fry requirements locally from 31
bangus fry concessionaires. Approximately 31.81 million fry are being harvested
from the wild each year.

 Model Rice Farm
A model rice farm with an area of 50 hectares and participated in by 25 farmers

was established in Barangay Sta. Rita in 1999. This project was initiated by the
Department of Agriculture in collaboration with the Provincial Agriculturist. It is
aimed to demonstrate chemical-free rice farming and reduce the seeding rate by
using 20 kgs. of registered seed and 40 kgs. of certified seeds instead of 150
kgs. as practiced by most farmers. During the entire cropping season, farmers
can enroll in a Farmers’ Field School where they can learn the concepts and
practice of Integrated Pest Management, Defoliation Simulation Study and
Integrated Nutrient Management.
 Hog and Livestock Dispersal Program
The hog dispersal program of the municipality is gaining ground with an increase
in animal inventory of 385, up by 63 percent since 1998. A mortality rate of eight
percent was registered in 1999 brought about by pneumonia, scouring and swine
plague.
Aside from hog dispersal, the Municipal Agriculturist’s Office also dispersed 43
cattle and 27 goats in barangays Bacungan, Pambisan Malaki, Pambisan Munti,
Sta. Isabel, Calingag and Pili.
 Agro-Industrial Development Project
Financial Assistance was extended to some farmer beneficiaries in Barangay

Bacungan and rolled over every cropping season in the form of seeds, fertilizers,
chemicals and other farm inputs. A total of 1,070 pieces of grafted carabao
mangoes were distributed to 13 CARP beneficiaries in Barangay Malaya. This
program comes in the form of a soft loan to be paid by the farmers in a period of
two years.
 Establishment of Farmers Training / 4-H Club
A total of 13 seminars/trainings were conducted by the Municipal Agriculturist’s

Office in 1999. Seminar and training modules included Modern Methods of
Farming, Livestock Production, Fish Cultures, Bantay Dagat Organizations,
Vegetable Production, Orchard Production and Flower Arrangement. These
were participated in by a total of 1,123 farmers. There are eight 4-H Club
Organizations at the barangay level which are currently maintained and guided
by their respective Agricultural Technicians (refer to Table 4.19).

Final Report
4.2.7 Development Needs
 Food Requirements
Based on the projected population and the per capita food requirement set by
the Department of Agriculture, the projected yearly food requirements for the
following commodities have been computed: milled rice, root crops, vegetables,
fruits, meat products, egg, milk/milk products, sugar and fish. By 2010, it is
estimated that food requirements for the following commodities will be as follows:
milled rice (10.1 million kgs.), root crops (5.6 million kgs.), vegetables (5.0 million
kgs.), fruits (7.1 million kgs.), meat products (3.1 million kgs.), eggs (0.3 million
kgs.) milk/milk products (2.3 million kgs.), sugar (2.8 million kgs.) and fish (2.8
million kgs.). Refer to Table 4.23.
These major food commodities are translated to agricultural area requirements

for the next ten years. It is estimated that by 2010, the agricultural land
requirements will be as follows: 5,251 hectares for rice, 889 hectares for root
crops, 1,996 hectares for vegetables and 518 hectares for fruits. This sums up to
8,654 hectares of agricultural land requirement for crop production. Refer to
Table 4.24.
Requirements for meat products, sugar and fish are also presented in Table
4.24.
The other development needs of the agriculture sector are as follows:
 There is a need to protect designated Strategic Agricultural and Fisheries

Development Zones (SAFDZs) from conversion to non-agricultural purposes.
 There is a need to optimize land utilization through diversification and/or

intensification.
 There is a need to develop crop-livestock integration schemes that will

maximize the use of available resources (i.e. land, labor, capital, technology,
etc.) to increase farmers’ productivity and profitability.
 There is a need to promote product enhancement and value-added

processing of agri-based farm products and by-products.
 There is a need to institutionalize support and extension delivery systems to

target beneficiaries in order to enhance production and increase income.

municipality has an inland resort (Bgy. Rosario), white beaches (Pili, Ranzo and
Banilad), panoramic mountains, waterfalls, clean rivers, green farms and forest.
Tourists can engage in various activities like swimming, banca riding and fishing.
They can also visit a Mangyan settlement in Barangay Sabang and interact with
their way of life. Native crafts made by Mangyans from barks of trees, rattan, nito
and bamboo can be purchased in the municipality.
Tourism-oriented facilities need to further be improved, however. There are very

few hotels and lodging houses where visitors can stay. Second, there is an

absence of entertainment, sports and recreation sites where one can while away
the time or relax during the night.
Figure 4.1 presents the location of existing and possible tourist attractions.
Following are the development needs that need priority attention in order to
jumpstart economic development in Pinamalayan:
 There is a need to assist the development of small and medium scale

enterprises. Technical, marketing and financial support services that are
needed by the SMEs may be provided. These will provide significant
economic opportunities for the local constituents.
 A promotion program to attract investments must be developed. This will

involve the identification of appropriate incentives for investors and the
implementation of aggressive promotion activities.
 There is a need to formulate an Integrated Tourism Development Program to

actively promote the sector as a major economic development driver in the
municipality. Further, pursuant to the identified role of Pinamalayan to host
the Convention Center in the Regional Tourism Master Plan, the
establishment of a facility to serve as an alternative modern venue for
conventions and cultural events to those located in the NCR should be
explored.

Comprehensive Development and
Final Report
5.0 HUMAN AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
5.1 Key Concerns
 Deficiencies in manpower and facilities are evident, particularly in health,

education, social welfare and housing.
 There is a relatively high incidence of poverty, mortality and illiteracy of

Indigenous Peoples due to poor health practices and limited access to basic
social services due to location.
5.2 Health, Nutrition and Sanitation
5.2.1 Health Status Indicators
Pinamalayan’s population demonstrated a generally improving health status from

1995-1999. Crude birth rate (CBR) exhibited a declining pattern from 1995-1997,
increased in 1998 and decreased by 0.2 percent in 1999. Crude death rate
(CDR) underwent minimal changes. Both the infant mortality and maternal
mortality rates showed favorable improvements throughout the five - year period

Heart-related diseases and hypertension have always been the leading causes of
death since 1995. Other common causes of adult mortality were pneumonia,
tuberculosis, cancer and COPD. Although acute renal disease, asthma and
premature birth were the leading causes of mortality in 1995 to 1996, these have
been eliminated in the top ten in the succeeding years. This can be attributed to
the improving health service provided by the MHO. However, deaths caused by
accident and traumatic injuries have been a consistent leading cause since the
last five years (refer to Table 5.2).

The ten leading causes of morbidity among residents from 1995 to 1999 are
presented in Table 5.3. Acute Respiratory Infection has consistently been the
number one cause of adult morbidity during the said period. Other causes
included influenza, diarrhea and gastro-intestinal disorder. Many morbidity cases
have been attributed to the lack of potable water supply in some coastal and
upland barangays.

Among the infants, the leading causes of death were pneumonia, sepsis
neutorium and asthmatic bronchitis and congenital heart disease from 1995 to
1999 (refer to Table 5.4). The lack of potable water supply especially in the
coastal and upland barangays may also be considered as contributing factors to
infant and maternal morbidity.

Final Report

5.2.3 Health Care Provision and Utilization
Maternal and Child Care Health Care Program
The program on maternal care and child health of the municipality currently
provides pre-natal care, natal and post natal care including supervision of nursing
mothers, continuing health supervision and total care of all children from birth
through childhood and adolescence; continuous provision of vaccines, iron
tablets and food supplements.
Table 5.6 shows the maternal care accomplishment in 1999. Over-all, data
showed that there was a 100 percent accomplishment rate in majority of the
services provided. Exception, however, is noted in the provision of iron among
pregnant women in the pre- and post natal care where only 5.3 percent (75) of
the target beneficiaries were serviced. This was due to the inadequate supply of
vitamins and medicines for distribution.

Note: * MHO exceeded target for the particular service provided.
A similar trend can be observed in child health care, where only 58 percent
(1,247) of the total infants were given the third dose against hepatitis. This can
also be attributed to the inadequate supply of medicines received by the Rural
Health Unit.

Family Planning Program
Pinamalayan’s program on Family Planning (FP) includes activities such as

provision of contraceptive supplies, and the motivation of married couples of
reproductive age to use FP through the conduct of community teachings. As per
the FP method utilized, the most accepted method by couples was the use of
pills, which accounted for 56 percent of the total users (refer to Table 5.8).

5.2.6 Cemeteries/Burial Grounds
At present, three cemeteries are located in the municipality. The public cemetery
in Barangay Papandayan has reached its full capacity while the private
cemeteries (Chinese Cemetery, Pinamalayan Memorial Park and the
Pinamalayan Catholic Cemetery) have not used half of their areas.
One of the main thrusts of the municipality is to find a suitable location for a new
public cemetery. Sanitation guidelines from the DENR on the siting of
burial/memorial parks should be adopted.
The average death rate in the municipality is set at 3.84 percent. Assuming that
this rate persists in the next ten years, it is estimated that projected death would
total to 3,560. This corresponds to a total area requirement of 1.7 hectares.
Following are the development needs in the health sector that must be
addressed in order to facilitate efficient social service delivery:
 There is a need to provide competent and adequate health personnel in

accordance with the nationally accepted planning standards. The projected
health facilities and personnel requirements by 2010 are presented in the
table below (refer to Table 5.16).

Note:
The 2000 population is estimated at 73,710.
Projected population by 2010 is 92,208.
 There must be a continuous training and re-training program for health

personnel as well as upgrading of facilities in order to facilitate a more
efficient delivery of social services.
5-8
Final Report
 Alternative medical preparations should be explored. This will minimize the

dependence on expensive medical preparations.
 There is a need to promote environmental sanitation through the proper

siting, planning and development of a public cemetery in order to
accommodate the projected area requirement of 1.7 hectares

5.3.2 Formal Education’s Performance Indicators
Participation rates for both East and West Districts are high with 94.88 and 83.80
percent respectively in 1999.
Survival rate is the proportion of the enrollees at the beginning grade or year who
reach the final grade or year at the end of the required number of years of study.
The survival rate for the East District shows a decreasing trend while improving
figures may be observed in the West. The 1999 survival rate is low at 72.5
percent for the East and 72.01 percent for the West District, and are below the
national goal of 80 percent.
Generally, dropout rates and repetition rates are at very manageable levels in
both Districts. A significant decline of 5.46 percent in the West District from 1998
to 1999 may be observed. Graduation rates for the East and West Districts in
1999 are high at 96 and 98 percent, respectively.
In terms of equity indicators, the teacher-pupil ratio is at very manageable ratios

of 1:38 for both districts. Refer to Table 5.18.

 Educational Requirements Projections
There is a need to enhance educational opportunities and capacities through the

provision of adequate classrooms and other educational facilities and materials,
curriculum enrichment, intensive educational campaign and provision of financial
support and relevant training targeting out-of-school youth.
There is a need to address the current backlog as well as the projected teacher
and classroom requirements in order to ensure the efficient delivery of education
among the school-going-age population. The projected requirements in
elementary and secondary education are found in the succeeding discussion.
School-Going -Age Population
In order to determine future teacher and classroom requirements, several steps

were undertaken. First, the school-going- age population by education level was
projected using the Interpolation Technique. This projection is shown in Table
5.28.
Table 5.28 Projected School-Going-Age Population, 2001-2010

Year Primary Intermediate Total Secondary Tertiary

2010 10,032 4,638 14,670 8,741 9,350
Elementary Education
The second step was to set the Participation Rate (PR). For elementary
education, target PR for 2010 was set at 95 percent. The increment PR was
estimated at 0.51 percent per year (refer to Table 5.29).
Table 5.29 Projected Participation Rate in Elementary Education, 2001-2010

Items Rate (%)
Enrollment Participation Rate in 1999 89.34
Target Participation Rate by 2010 95.00
Increment Participation Rate 0.51
5-16
Final Report
The third step was to multiply the projected school - going - age population by the
projected PR that resulted to the projected enrollment. The projected enrollment
was then related to the additional teacher and classroom requirements (refer to
Table 5.30).

2010 14,670 95.00 13,937 1:40 10 10
Secondary Education
The same formula for computing elementary education requirements was used in
computing requirements for secondary education. The target PR for 2010 was
set at 85 percent. The increment PR was estimated at 1.22 percent per year
Table 5.31 Projected Participation Rate in Secondary Education, 2001-2010

Items Rate (%)
Enrollment Participation Rate in 1999 71.54
Target Participation Rate by 2010 85.00
Increment Participation Rate 1.22
The projected school – going – age population was then multiplied to the
projected PR that resulted to the projected enrollment. The projected enrollment
was then related to the additional teacher and classroom requirements (refer to
Table 5.32).

categories.
5.4 Housing
The housing or settlement areas of Pinamalayan are individually clustered and

concentrated per barangay. These are located along the coast, near major
highways and along access roads.
Latest available data (1990 NSO Survey on Housing) indicated an almost 1:1
ratio between housing units and households. Majority of housing units (86%)
were either owned or being amortized by their occupants (refer to Table 5.33).

The municipal government has implemented several core housing projects.

These are in Pamana, Morenteville and Lumambayan. The beneficiaries of
these projects were those that were displaced by calamities such as floods and
the 1994 earthquake.
There are approximately 1,000 families who are considered illegal settlers by the
MSWDO.
5-18
Final Report
 A comprehensive shelter program aimed at providing affordable, livable and

decent housing to squatters and other low-income groups, and to curb the
proliferation of slums in Pinamalayan should be developed.
The projected housing demand by 2010 is estimated at 7,248. This relates to the
projected additional households in the municipality (refer to Table 5.35).

5.5 Social Welfare Development
5.5.1 Social Welfare Programs and Services
Family Welfare Program
The following are the services under this program: parent effectiveness, marriage
counseling, planned parenthood counseling, social services for solo parents,
family casework services, responsible parenthood, livelihood development
services and practical skills training.
The program of family welfare is intended to strengthen the family as a basic unit
of society while the community welfare program is intended to assist socially
disadvantaged communities in developing their capabilities in problem-situation
analysis, goal and action plan formulation, plan implementation and monitoring
and evaluation. The community-organizing program, on the other hand, includes
social preparation for people’s participation and community volunteers resource
program. In 1999, the MSWDO was able to counsel 854 marrying couples on
Responsible Parenthood.
Children’s Welfare Program
This can be availed of by children who lack opportunities for intellectual and
social stimulation, without relatives, neighbors and other suitable arrangements
for substitute parental care or home, who are withdrawn or with some handicaps
but can be assisted by group experience, and who, although malnourished, are
free from any communicable disease. Day Care Centers provide supplementary
parental care to children below 5 years old if parents cannot attend to their needs
(e.g., one or both of them are working). Ideally, there should be at least one day
care center per barangay to service children who do not have access to private
preparatory schools. These children are given access to early learning
experiences to bring out their greatest potential to become useful and productive
citizens. Services are also provided to children who may be neglected, abused,
exploited or abandoned.
There are currently 52 Day Care Centers. Table 5.36 shows the distribution of
Day Care Center/s by barangay.

Women Welfare Program
Recognizing the welfare of women in development, specifically their special

needs and potentials, the MSWDO currently implements the Women Welfare
Program which aims to: (1) strengthen and enhance women’s capabilities and
their roles in the family, community and nation as a whole; (2) advocate the role
of women in economic development; (3) encourage better involvement and
participation of women in community affairs through organized efforts, and, (4)
promote the welfare of disadvantaged women with special attention to the
prevention and eradication of exploitative situations. The program includes
promotion of skills development and employment, maternal and childcare,
counseling service, referrals for psychological / medical assistance, legal
assistance and protective custody and residential care.
As part of the 1999 Accomplishment of the MSWDO, a total of 90 women

beneficiaries participated in the Basic Business Management Skills Training
(BBMST). The training equipped women with the basic skills and technical
know-how needed to establish income generating activities.
Program for Disabled Persons and Senior Citizens
The MSWDO provides referrals of cases to government agencies (DSWD) and

NGOs for availment of social welfare services. Recent survey from the MSWDO
shows that the total number of registered senior citizens in the municipality is
3,196 and disabled persons have reached a figure of 125. Recent
accomplishments of the MSWDO include the distribution of Pamaskong Handog
among 119 disabled individuals and provision of Self Employment Assistance
(SEA) Tulong Puhunan among seven senior citizens.

Emergency Assistance
The program is developed to enhance the response mechanism of the

municipality in times of crisis. The interventions utilized by the MSWDO are:
disaster relief services, emergency shelter assistance, aid to individuals in crisis
situation, disaster preparedness program, and referrals to other social service
providers.

PLAN International is a humanitarian, child-focused development organization

without religious, political or governmental affiliation. Child sponsorship is the
basic foundation of the organization. PLAN International is an NGO-partner of
the municipality in providing services and extending assistance to the Community
Based Development Programs. It has three location offices in Pinamalayan
found in barangays Cacawan, Panggulayan and Lumangbayan.
The services extended by PLAN to the municipality include the following: health
and education support services, habitat assistance as well as livelihood
assistance.

There exist some challenges and concerns that need to be addressed to further
improve the delivery of social services. For instance, the municipality has only
one professional social worker and one social welfare aide directly implementing
social welfare programs. This has resulted to an actual social worker to family
ratio of 1:7,275. This is way below the national standard of 1:500.
5-22
Final Report
Following are the development needs in the social welfare sector that must be
addressed in order to facilitate efficient social service delivery:
 There is a need to provide the required manpower requirements in the social

welfare by 2010 (refer to Table 5.38).

Projected number of households by 2010 is 20,745.
 Provision of additional funds for livelihood assistance, continuous upgrading

of facilities and the establishment of a reception and action center must be
given priority attention.
 There is also a need to provide continuous opportunity for capability building,

training and re-training among social workers as well as organizational
development in order to facilitate the implementation of community-based
projects.

The areas covered by a Certificate of Ancestral Domain Claim (CADC) of the

Tau-Buid Mangyan Tribe extend to approximately 21,000 hectares. It includes
the mountainous regions of Socorro, Pinamalayan and Gloria. Portions of these
areas are located in Barangay Sabang (refer to Figure 5.4).
Minority assistance for Indigenous Peoples (IPs) come from various government,
non-government and private agencies. Among others, these are: provincial
government through the PPDO, Office of the Southern Cultural Minorities, Low
Income Upland Communities Project (LIUCP) and the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources.
The LIUCP’s concerns cover the four watershed areas in Oriental Mindoro. One
of these is the Pola Watershed covering 23,309 hectares within the municipalities
of Pinamalayan and Socorro. The LIUCP is considered to be one of the most
active agencies assisting the Mangyans in Pinamalayan. Majority of their
projects are in the sectors of health, education, and social welfare. Tables 5.40
and 5.41 list the accomplished and pipelined projects of the LIUCP, respectively.

Final Report
Following are the development needs among the Indigenous People that must be
addressed in order to facilitate efficient social service delivery to this particular
segment of society:
 In response to the needs to the Indigenous People in the municipality, there

is a need to develop a comprehensive program to ensure ways to properly
integrate them to the mainstream of society. This may come in the form of
delivering appropriate community services as well as economic opportunities.

Final Report
5.7 Public Safety and Protective Services
5.7.1 Crime Incidence
Thirty percent of the crimes committed over the past four years were against
morality and order (30.1%), followed by crimes versus persons (25.8%). More
specifically, it included crimes such as murder, homicide, parricide, physical
injuries and frustrated homicide. The efficiency of crime solution was set at 96.8
percent. Tables 5.42 and 5.43 refer.

5.7.2 Police and Fire Protection Personnel
Enforcement of peace and order in Pinamalayan is a coordinated effort among

the local government law enforcement agencies. Based on the personnel
inventory presented in Table 5.44, the sizes of both police force and fire
protection staff are inadequate. The current ratio of policeman to population is
around 1:1,812 while the fireman to population ratio is 1:5,889. These are below
the nationally accepted policeman–population ratio of 1:1,000 and the fire
fighters-population ratio of 1:2,000.

Note:
 While the peace and order in the municipality remains manageable,

protective services need to be enhanced by improving existing equipment as
well as through continuous training of law enforcement and fire protection
personnel. This aims to reduce crime incidence, increase crime solution
efficiency and reduce the incidence of fire and man made calamities and
damage to properties. The other development needs of the protective
services sector are:
- Drug Watch Program;

- Construction of a Municipal Police and Fire Station;
- Training, re-training and hiring of additional manpower; and
- Acquisition of a patrol car and fire truck.

Final Report
6.0 INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITIES
6.1 Key Concerns
 Inadequate farm-to-market and barangay access roads are considered as a

constraint in marketing, delivery of social services and transport of
agricultural produce.
 Insufficient power supply and distribution system.
 Drainage in general is poorly planned and inadequate. Clogged and silted

natural waterways have caused flooding.
 There is no public sewerage in the municipality. House sewers are

connected to septic tanks which discharge into drainage canals, creeks or
rivers.
6.2 Roads and Transport
The municipality is traversed by the national road that weaves through the
province. The national highway which cuts across Pinamalayan stretches all the
way from Calapan City in the north to the southern coastal municipality of
Bulalacao. The total road network in Pinamalayan is estimated at 166.13
kilometers. This results to an over-all road density of 0.0060 km./ha. The road
network consists of national, provincial, municipal and barangay roads. Of this
figure, nearly one-tenth (7.8%) is covered by the national road, almost half
(42.7%) are provincial roads, two-fifths (37.2%) municipal and one-fifth (12.3%)
barangay roads (refer to Table 6.1 and Figure 6.1).

6.4 Power
Electric power is supplied by the Oriental Mindoro Electric Cooperative

(ORMECO), a privately run cooperative under the supervision of the National
Electrification Administration (NEA). ORMECO has a generating capacity of 24.6
megawatts (MW). It distributes power to Oriental Mindoro and a few
municipalities in Occidental Mindoro. Table 6.15 shows ORMECO’s sources of
power.

Electricity is distributed mainly along major roads such as the national highway
and provincial roads (refer to Figure 6.4). In 1999, the municipality suffered from
insufficient, erratic and low power supply. The perennial brown-outs throughout
the municipality, day or night, had been attributed to either line pole problems
that cause line tripping or mechanical failures experienced by NAPOCOR power
barges located in Puerto Galera and Wawa.
A 7.5 MW Power Plant of the Southern Energy Mobile Incorporated has began
operations in Barangay Papandayan in December 2000. The establishment of
the power plant augments the power supply in Pinamalayan and other
neighboring municipalities.
A comparative data on electrical house connections in 1998 and 1999 is

provided in Table 6.16. It can be noted that there is a 1.25 percent increase in
the number of house connections, which can be attributed to the aggressive
electrification program of ORMECO.

Final Report
6.5 Sewerage and Sanitation
At present, there is no public sewerage system in the muncipality. Domestic

wastewater is disposed of through soil percolation, through drainage canals or
directly to surface water bodies. Septic tanks reduce the pollution load but these
are not maximized as these are usually poorly designed and constructed and has
little maintenance. Also, it is noted that septic tank systems are not extensively
used in the rural areas.
Recent surveys of the Municipal Health Office revealed that majority of the
households have sanitary toilets (68.67%). However, one-fourth of the
household population (24.49%) still have no access to sanitary toilets (refer to
Table 6.19).

Final Report
7.0 DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION
7.1 Key Concerns
Database management weakness
A good database for all development sectors should always be regularly updated
and made available. There is a need to attain this level of database
management in order to provide for informed decision-making on the part of local
officials.
Low Real Property Tax Collections
There is a need to elicit the support of elected local officials to improve Real
Property Tax (RPT) collection. There is a need to strengthen the coordination
between the municipal treasury and assessment officials. Areas that require
some improvements include: appraisal and assessment, records management,
collection and enforcement.
Diffused Responsibility in Financial Management
The overall responsibility for local government financial management is centered

on the Local Chief Executive (Mayor), but it divides the policy and implementation
functions among three senior employees. There is no single manager
responsible to the elected Chief Executive for policy development and
management of all financial management operations. The three officers
(Treasurer, Assessor and Budget Officer) report separately to the elected Chief
Executive. Further the Treasurer is under the control of the Department of
Finance, Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF). Thus, it is proposed that
Congress may consider that Municipal Treasurers be placed under the
supervision of the Mayor and not by the BLGF.
7.2 Organizational Framework and Resource Capability
7.2.1 Human Resources
The municipal government has a total personnel complement of 235 (refer to

Table 7.1). Theoretically, therefore, every employee of the municipal
government serves 130 constituents of Pinamalayan. There are 13 major
offices/departments in the municipal government, which perform service delivery
functions and development planning responsibilities. These are the main
engines of the municipal bureaucracy (Refer to Figure 7.1).

While many of its personnel have undertaken several seminars and other training
courses, these are not designed as part of an integrated local government
capability-building program of the municipality. Some of the training courses
undertaken by officials and rank and file employees are the following: Social
Value Formation, Personnel Management and Development Planning
The Sangguniang Bayan (SB), as the other sector of the municipal government,
likewise deserves assistance and support in order to improve the municipal
legislative processes.
7.2.2 Municipal Planning and Development Office
The Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO) is the primary office
responsible in local development planning. It acts as the Secretariat of the
Municipal Development Council (MDC) in the identification and prioritization of
major programs. It also serves as the technical arm of the municipal
government.
Duties and Functions
The duties and functions of the MPDO, as stipulated in the Local Government
Code, are outlined below:
 Formulate integrated economic, social, physical and other development plans

and policies for consideration of the MDC;
 Conduct continuing studies, researches and training programs necessary to

evolve plans and programs for implementation;
 Integrate and coordinate all sectoral plans and studies undertaken by

different functional groups or agencies;
 Monitor and evaluate the implementation of the different development

programs, projects and activities of the municipal government in accordance
with the approved development plan;
 Prepare comprehensive plans and their corresponding development planning

documents for the consideration of the MDC;
7-3
Final Report
 Analyze the income and expenditure patterns, and formulate and recommend
fiscal plans and policies for consideration of the finance committee of the
LGU concerned as provided under Title Five, Book II of the Code;

Final Report
7.3 Financial Capability
The assessment of the financial capability of Pinamalayan entails an analysis of

its revenue and expenditure pattern for the period 1995 to 1999. This shall
establish the trend of how the municipality obtains its income and allocates its
financial resources among the different expenditure items: personnel, MOOE and
capital projects.
Since RA 7160 was implemented, the municipality has been given more room to
exercise its revenue generating power. This was expressed in Section 142 of the
said law, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991. In addition,
the Code provides that LGUs are entitled to receive Internal Revenue Allocation
(IRA) for the subsidy of some national government functions devolved to them
such as, health, agriculture, environment and natural resources and public works.
As such, the IRA is a part of their revenue.
Mainly, the result of such analysis is to come up with the identification of means
to further support the financial requirements of prospective development projects.
Further, this activity aims to develop a more effective and responsive financial
management system that will allow interventions to increase further financial
resources to sustain day-to-day operations and capital investment needs.
7.3.1 Past Financial Performance
Income
Based on the historical performance for the period of 1995 to 1999 (refer to
Table 7.2), it is shown that the total income of the municipality has almost
doubled from a mere P25.9 million in 1995 to P43.8 million in 1999. However,
Pinamalayan is still very much dependent on external sources for its operation.
On the average, 73 percent of its revenue comes from the Internal Revenue
Allotments (IRA) (refer to Table 7.3). The second ranking source of income in
1997 and 1998 are loans and borrowings, business and local taxes followed by
revenues from economic enterprises. In 1997, the municipality obtained a loan
from the Philippine National Bank (PNB) to purchase heavy equipment.

Final Report
The percentage share of Real Property Tax (RPT) to the total income of the
municipality has been decreasing from 1996 to 1999. Likewise, the performance
trends of the other revenue sources are fluctuating.

There is much to be improved regarding the municipality’s capability to generate

some local funds. The ability of the Local Government Unit to expand and
improve the quality of its services depends greatly on its ability to raise revenues.
Expenditures
In terms of expenditure pattern, General Administration or Personnel Expenses,

averaged a 37 percent share of the total expenditure over the five year period.
With minimum fluctuations, capital outlay increased by 6.6 percent from 1996 to
1997. A substantial drop was observed in capital expenditures during the last
two years. On the other hand, expenses for the operation of Economic
Enterprises rose from six percent to over 17 percent of the total. Tables 7.4 and
7.5 refer.

Final Report
7.4 Zoning Regulations
The municipality has a zoning ordinance, which was enacted in 1983. Like its
Land Use Plan, it has long since been overrun by developments as evidenced by
the degree of actual deviations from the stipulated use per district. The 1983
General Zoning Map and Urban Zoning Map are shown Figures 7.3 and 7.4
respectively.
The zoning ordinance explicitly provides that it should serve the following
purposes:
1. Guide, control and regulate the future growth and development of

Pinamalayan, in accordance with its development plan;
2. Protect the character and stability of residential, commercial, industrial,

institutional, agricultural, and open spaces within the locality and promote the
orderly and beneficial development of the same;
3. Promote and protect the health, safety, peace, comfort, convenience and
general welfare of the inhabitants in the locality;
4. Provide adequate light, air, privacy and convenience of access to property;
5. Prevent undue concentration of population and congestion of properties; and
6. Regulate the location and use of buildings and lands in such manner as to
obviate the danger to public safety caused by undue interference with
existing or prospective traffic movements on streets and thoroughfares.
The ordinance divides Pinamalayan into six zones, which includes the following:
built-up, agricultural, forest land, industrial, swamps, marshes and fishponds.
The Built-up zones are concentrated within Zones I to IV of the Poblacion and
extending to adjacent barangays, Sta. Rita, Cacawan and Marfrancisco.
Developments are designated along the major national and provincial roads.
The agriculture zone includes areas reserved for the cultivation, growing of
staple crops, diversified plants and trees and the establishment of agricultural
research and experimentation facilities and other customary support facilities.
Agriculture is the predominant zone in the municipality with almost all barangays
covered for agricultural use.
The Forest Conservation Zone consists of areas that the Bureau of Forestry
Development, the National Parks and Building Office and other appropriate
national agencies of the government shall so designate. These shall be used
and developed subject to such rules and regulations as shall be promulgated by
the appropriate national agencies. Forestlands are confined in Barangays
Sabang, Ranzo, Banilad and Guinhawa.
Industrial zones were also delineated in the 1983 Zoning Map. Two sites were
earmarked for industrial purposes. The first industrial site is 21 hectares located
within the boundaries of Maningcol, Papandayan and Sta. Rita. The second site
is confined within Barangay Pili and has an area of 50 hectares.

The ordinance follows the exclusionary Euclidean model where a long list of
“uses allowed by right” is provided. The mixture of varying uses is discouraged
following the argument that different land uses are inherently incompatible thus
requiring spatial segregation. It is also pyramidal in nature where “lower order
uses” (high density/intensity) are assumed to have detrimental effects to “higher
order uses” (low density/intensity) thus discouraging the mingling of activities.
Mixture of activities, when allowed, is intra-zonal and not inter zonal and is a one
–way affair. Low density residential can go to high-density residential but not
vice versa. Commercial activities are not readily allowed into residential areas.
One of the inefficiencies of the model is that it does not consider the fact that
regulating offices seldom control land use decisions.
The ordinance also has detailed height and area regulations especially for
residential areas. These regulations focus on building heights, lot sizes and
building footprints. There are also general regulations which are sometimes
vague as in providing that “all traffic generating buildings have to provide
adequate parking” without defining what traffic generating buildings are and how
much adequate parking is. These provisions are oftentimes violated, especially
those pertaining to minimum lot sizes.
Environmental standards are performance-based and are well quantified but

need to be expanded to include site and area specific concerns. Present
regulations focus on the control of noise and vibration, smoke, dust, dirt and fly
ash, odors and gases, glare and heat. Environmental concerns have to be more
focused and considerate of the specific character of the respective zones. There
may also have to be separate performance requirements for areas located in the
