BASIC PROFILE OF THE MUNICIPALITY
A. Brief History of the Municipality
Padre Pedro de Santo Tomas founded San Pablo, the oldest town in the
province of Isabela, on November 30, 1646, about 210 years before the creation of
Isabela as a province. Originally called “Maquila” which literally means sparkling, a
name of natural or physical denotation, it was renamed Cabagan, loosely interpreted
as the place where people wear “ba-ag” or “G-strings” when the Spaniards came to
this part of the country. In the early 1900’s upon the American occupation, it was
subdivided into three municipalities, namely: Cabagan Viejo (Old Cabagan),
Cabagan Nuevo (New Cabagan), and Santa Maria. Eventually, Cabagan Viejo
became San Pablo in honor of its patron saint, San Pablo Apostol, whose feast day is
celebrated on January 15. Later Cabagan Nuevo became simply Cabagan as there
was no longer a Cabagan Viejo; but Santa Maria retained its name.
One of the famous historical landmarks in San Pablo is the Roman Catholic
Church that has a unique architectural beauty and grandeur. Built in 1624, its lofty
bell tower of six layers including the circular apex is made of adobe and is the tallest
in the entire Cagayan Valley. The remains of Casa Real located in front of the
municipal hall is a mute testimony that the town was once a vital government center
during the Spanish regime. As its name connotes, the Casa Real was used by the
colonial administration. Completed in 1846, it was a two-storey brick building
measuring 20 x 30 meters. An inscription on one of its walls read as follows: “Esta
Casa Tribunal se con cluio en año de 1846 siendo governad d’ Dimas de Guzman”.
Another spot of historical value is the ruined San Vicente chapel found within the
Catholic cemetery and is as old as the Roman Catholic Church. Cabagan, only three
kilometers away and Tuguegarao City, the capital town of Cagayan, about 25
kilometers away, serve as the marketing center of San Pablo.

San Pablo has seventeen (17) barangays. Eleven (11) are located along the
natonal high way while the rest are found in the hinterlands. It has a total land area
of 63,790 hectares. Its western portion is flat to hilly while the eastern area is either
hilly or mountainous and densely forested. Its vast aquatic resources include the
Cagayan River and its tributaries like the Pinacanauan River in the center, and
Ballutu Creek in the south as source of fish, transport and irrigation water. The
freshwater fish nursery in Caralucud supplies the fingerling needs of the
municipality and other towns of Isabela.
From the 17th century to 1944, the seat of government was located in the
Poblacion. In 1944, by Japanese instigation, it was transferred to barangay Auitan.
After the Liberation, it was moved to barangay Minanga then back to Auitan where it
remained until May 1959. It was restored to its original site by then Mayor Calixtro
B. Cauan, a brother of former Mayor Cayetano B. Cauan, Sr. whose son, Cayetano A.
Cauan, Jr. also served as municipal mayor for two consecutive terms (1988-1995),
and who was succeeded by Mayor Edwardson B. Tumaliuan from 1995-2001 and
Hon. Celia M. Aragon from 2001-2004. Presently, the local chief executive is Hon.
Antonio N. Miro, Jr. who served as vice mayor from 2001-2004 and SB member
from 1998-2001.

The growth of population in San Pablo shows a rather erratic trend. From
1903 to 1918, there was an increase of 1,095 persons or 28.08% or an annual growth
rate of 1.66% From a total population of 4,994 in 1918 to 6,241 in 1939, the increase
was 1,247 or 24.97% or an annual growth rate of 1.07. However, data in censal year
1948 showed a total population of only 5,700 which means a decrease of 541 which
Serbisyong totoo! 6

2019-
is equivalent to –8.67% and resulting to a –1.00% annual growth rate. This

observation is attributed to evacuation and deaths of residents due to the outbreak
of world War II. In 1960 or 12 years later, the total population was 8,349, an
increase of 2,649 or 46.47% or an annual growth rate of 3.23. Growth rate was
maintained in the next ten years. In 1970, the total population was 11,534 or an
increase of 3,191 or 38.15% or an annual growth rate of 3.28, the highest rate so far.
Meanwhile, the population of the Municipality as of the latest population

census conducted in 2015 has increase of about 3,099 people compared to the 2010
census. The increase was due to the increase of the population growth rate from
0.28% in 2010 to 2.64% in 2015, which is way above the population growth rate of
the Province which is 1.29%.
2.1 Growth of Barangay Population
In 1975, population growth rate dropped from 3.28 (1970) to only 1.46 with
an increase in population of only 863 or 7.53%. This is due to the heavy out-
migration of residents to other places outside the locality to seek employment and
the departure of squatters who stayed in some eastern barangays particularly in
Dalena and San Vicente. In 1980, the total population rose to 13,764 as compared to
12,402 in 1975 or an increase of 1,362 or 10.98% for an annual growth rate of 2.10%.
Ten years later (1990), the total population was 16,565, an increase of 2,916 or
20.35% and an annual growth rate of 1.87%. In 1995, the growth rate was only
0.66% as a result of a slight increase in population of only 442 or an increase of
3.36%. In 2000, population reached 18,561, an increase of 1,439 or 8.40% for an
annual growth rate of 1.63. In a household survey (December 2007) conducted by
the MPDC office, population count was 22,102, an increase of 3,561 in seven years
(2000 to 2007) or 19.07% resulting to an annual growth rate of 2.53%. In 2010 the
total population was 22,285, for an increase of 183 within 3 years or 0.82% for an
annual growth rate of 0.28%. For 2015, the population had remarkably increased to
25,384 with a growth rate of 2.64%.

2.2 Total Population
The total municipal population in 2015 is 25,384 broken down as: urban –
890 or only 3.51% while the rest, 24,494 or 96.49% is rural. Of this total population,
12,831 or 50.54% are male and and 12,553 or 49.42% are female. The sex ratio is 102
males to 100 females, a predominance of male population in the municipality.
2.3 Urban and Rural Household Population
San Pablo is predominantly rural. Of the 17 barangays, only Poblacion with

a total population of 890 is urban since it is the seat of the local government unit
(LGU). The total rural population is 24,494 or 96.49%. the top five barangays in
terms of population are Binguang (2,443), Simanu Norte (2,360), Ballacayu
(2,242), San Vicente (2,241), and Dalena (2,069). The least populated (below 1,000)
are Caralucud (571), Guminga (607), Simanu Sur (883) and Poblacion (890).
2.4 Migration Patterns
San Vicente, Simanu Norte and Dalena are found in the eastern part of
the Municipality about seven kilometers from the national highway. The dense
populations in these barangays could be attributed to the availability of agricultural
lands, most of which are irrigated plus the influx of migrants from the Ilocos region
who were probably attracted to the place for farming purposes. The very low
population in Guminga is due to its meager total land area, which is only 0.111
square kilometers (111.44 hectares).
Barangay Binguang was originally located at the northwestern portion of

the municipality along the Cagayan River bank. The continuing erosion caused by
the periodic swelling of the Cagayan River has practically wiped off almost the
whole barangay land area. Thus, leading all its residents to move to its present
location, a rather hilly area (Bakulug in Ibanag) located along the national highway.
Aside from its original residents, new families have constructed their houses in the
Serbisyong totoo! 9

said location due to the availability of vacant residential lots and its accessibility to
the national highway.

Figure 2. Location Map of San Pablo, Isabela
San Pablo is one of the 34 Municipalities (and Three Cities) of the Province of
Isabela. San Pablo is bounded on the North by the City of Tuguegarao, on the South
by the Municipality of Cabagan, on the East by the Pacific Ocean and on the West
by the Municipality of Sta. Maria.
The Municipality is flanked on its western side by the mighty Cagayan River
(the country’s longest river) and traversed eastward by the gigantic Sierra Madre
Mountain Range. These two (2) natural resources have sectoral contributions since
they are greatly beneficial to the local constituencies.

D. Physical Features and Environmental Condition
1. Physical Features
1.1 Topography
The Municipality of San Pablo is composed of mixed topographical

features of broad alluvial plains, valleys, low lying hills and mountain ranges. The
low-lying hills and mountain ranges are slightly dissected by
permanent/intermittent creeks, gullies and other water ways. Accumulated run-
off coming from the adjoining higher landscapes drains through these
waterways—which finally flow towards Pinacanauan de San Pablo River and then
eventually to the Cagayan River.
1.2 Elevation
The town site has an elevation of below 1000 meters above sea level
(masl). This level covers 54,142.43 hectares out of the total area of the
Municipality which is 63,790 hectares. The western portion of San Pablo is
flat to hilly while the eastern portion is mountainous and densely forested.
Farming, as one source of livelihood, is located in the plain areas along the
riverbank of Cagayan river in the west, the Pinacanauan river, and Simanu
river in the center and the Ballutu creek in the South. The hilly areas, away
from the rivers and creeks, are used as pasture land.
Caddangan/Limbauan and Simanu Norte are considered as plain to

hilly and mountainous. Barangays that are exclusively plain and hilly are
Annanuman, Ballacayu, Dalena, Simanu Sur, and San Vicente. The other
barangays are purely plain: Auitan, Bungad, Calamagui, Caralucud,
Poblacion, Guminga, Minanga Norte, and San Jose.

2.3. Protective and Safety Services
With a growing population, the possibility of crime incidence also

increases but generally, the Municipality of San Pablo is relatively
peaceful with only occasional minor cases, most of which are solved by the
local PNP. The activation of Barangay Tanods by the Philippine National
Police (PNP) and the LGU for the barangays to participate in maintaining
peace and order in the community is of great help.
The municipality’s protective service is generally composed of the

Philippine National Police and the Bureau of Fire protection. Every
barangay also has Barangay Tanods. A special organization for disaster
purposes, known as The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management

2019-
Council (MDRRMC), is also an active organization in the Municipality,

with its own office situated with then Municipal Hall. In fact, every

where cockfighting is held and allowed with permission.
For sports development among the youth, the Department of

Education (DepEd) is the lead agency in the promotion of sports
programs. School facilities are being used by students in the Municipality
for their trainings and other sports activities. However, during summer,
barangay sport competitions are being sponsored by the Sangguniang
Barangay a means to develop camaraderie among the young and veer
them away from drugs and alcohol dependency. Inter-barangays sports
league are also organized by the Local Government Unit as part of the
celebration of the “Baka Festival” of the Municipality. The festival is one
of a kind cultural celebration.
2.5. Housing
Based on the 2015 Housing Statistics from PSA, there were 4,136
housing units in the Municipality against 5,384 families, wherein the

2019-
difference of 1248 households represents the number of doubled-up

households which means that one dwelling unit is shared by two or more
families. However this does not necessarily pose a problem as it was
documented that this practice is not always due to financial difficulties
but more of cultural preference and close family ties.
Most housing units found in the Municipality are made of both

permanent and semi-permanent materials especially in the urban
barangays. On the other hand, housing units that are made of indigenous
materials like cogon, anahaw/nipa and bamboo can also be seen in the
rural areas.
2.6. Power
Electric power is supplied by the Isabela Electric Cooperative II

(ISELCO II) with substation at ISU Compound, Garita Heights, Cabagan
Isabela. The company caters about 67.76% of the 4,136 households in the
Municipality. There are still portions or purok of some barangays which
are not yet energized due to its location e.g. those sitios in the Barangays
of Limbauan and San Vicente. The extension of power supply in these
areas is constrained/hampered by their remoteness and the physical
characteristics/rugged terrain that one has to pass through before
reaching these said areas. Thus, installation of electric power thru electric
cables requires enormous resources which may take a very long time to
recoup. However, there are households in these areas that have generator
power while some are now using solar-powered flashlights and lamps.
2.7. Water
The main sources of water for the Municipality are shallow and deep
wells. Only urban barangays, although not all households, have connection
on the water system, a Level III classification of water system facility. Also,

2019-
among the energized barangays, many households use electric motor- driven
pressurized water tanks to distribute water inside their dwellings.
In terms of supply of potable/drinkable water, there are water-refilling

stations in the Municipality which supply the drinking water requirements of
some households and institutions in the locality. Although there are some
who are being supplied by the service provider from the Municipality of
Cabagan.
Presently, the Municipality is enjoying a steady supply of water;

however the difficulty lies in making sure that the water reaches the
households and that the good quality of water is ensured to be fit for domestic
and other means of consumption or utilization.
A water system facility then is a potential investment area both for the
LGU and a potential investor.
2.8. Waste Management Facility
The municipal residual containment area will be establish at

barangay Annanuman, San Pablo, Isabela with an area of 2.6 hectares and
approximately 4.5 kilometers from the town proper. Other facilities to be
establish are the composting area, sorting area, recyclable waste area, guard
house, nursery, botanical garden, park and office.
Since the site is very far from the barangay proper, no social resistance
has been observed in the establishment of different facilities at the dumpsite
area especially that only residual wastes shall be disposed as being agreed
during the conduct of various meeting in the barangay.
Since the Provincial Government of Isabela proposed for the clustering

on the establishment of Sanitary Landfill, while waiting for the outcome the
municipal government of San Pablo will upgrade the acquired dumpsite and

2019-
establish the municipal residual containment area that can accommodate the
projected residual waste for up to three years.
Figure 9. Proposed Site for the Construction of Sanitary Landfill
The municipal dumpsite will be rehabilitated in the most ecologically-sound

possible means. Perimeter fence will be erected to prevent trespassing of
people or interference of dogs or other animals.
The WACS conducted by the LGU showed that about 5.01% of the daily
wastes generated by the municipality are special wastes. The special waste
generated per day by household, non-household and special waste generator
is 126.91 kilograms/day and 46,322.15 kilograms/year.
Based on the projected special waste generated, the Municipal

government will establish a special septic vault that can accommodate toxic
and hazardous waste to be generated especially from the Rural Health Unit
(RHU). Results of the WACS revealed that the projected residual waste to be
disposed for ten years is 5,214,681.89 kilograms. As part of its management,
the municipal government will be establishing a residual containment area
that can be accommodated the 3 years projected disposed residual waste

2019-
while waiting for the provincial government’s proposal to cluster with nearby
Municipalities the establishment of sanitary landfill (SLF). Nonetheless, if the
propose clustering proposal will not prosper after three years, the Municipal
government will update the ESWM plan to establish SLF.

E. EXISTING LAND USE AND LAND USE TRENDS
EXISTING LAND USE
San Pablo is considered as a medium town in the hierarchy of

Municipalities in the Province of Isabela. San Pablo is considered to be a
minor urban area. With this, however, with its strategic location, the
Municipality being adjacent to the city of Tuguegarao, has high potential for

2019-
development due to the fact that expanding urbanization would possibly

happen anytime in the future which already started as manifested by the
presence of various commercial establishments and industries near the
boundaries of San Pablo and Tuguegarao City. Trade and commerce is now
becoming more active. The LGU has a very high chance of attracting possible
investors that would significantly contribute to the increase of revenues in the
Municipality.

F. DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS: PRIORITY ISSUES AND

CONCERNS
Comparative/Competitive Advantages
San Pablo, like with other localities, has various comparative

advantages compared to other Municipalities;
a. Physical/Natural Resources
In terms of physical and/or natural resources, the Municipality of San

Pablo has:
 rich natural resources both land and water resources
 huge tract of forest land (one of the biggest in the Province)
 vast tracts of land highly suitable for agricultural production
 fertile, rich croplands good for diversified farming and capable of
sustaining 2- cropping seasons per year
 agriculturally dominant and major producer of sustenance and food
crops (rice, corn, banana, cassava and vegetables)
 adequate infrastructure:
o Good roads and bridges network servicing intra-town
(Poblacion-barrio traffic) farm to market roads.
o Adequate public transportation facilities
o Presence of irrigation systems (NIA,SWIP, SFRs) and
complemented with government-operated agricultural support
infrastructures and other post-harvest facilities (storage, farm
shed, rice-milling facilities, solar driers)
 stable power supply
 telecommunication services where all the barangays could access
signal provided by three Cellular Mobile Telephone Service Providers:
SMART, SUN CELLULAR and GLOBE and SMART to include
potential signals for WI-FI Wireless Broadband Internet Connectivity
 cable TV services provided by service providers from nearby localities

2019-
 highly adequate educational facilities (pre-school, elementary, high

school and TESDA training center)
b. Human Resources
 Supportive Local Government Unit (LGU) with dynamic group of
political leaders
 Active participation and cooperative co-partnership between the LGU
and the non-government organizations (NGOs) and national
government agencies (NGAs) towards the over-all development of San
Pablo community
 Presence of various barangay-based networks of community service
volunteers to complement and broaden government outreach down to
the grassroots levels
 Favorable peace and order and conducive public safety and security
conditions in the locality
Weaknesses: Priority Issues and Concerns
a. Priority Issues and Concerns

The following are the issues and concerns which the
Municipality has to address:
i. Infrastructure-Related
- Financial constraints for infrastructure;
- Inadequacy of recreational facilities and sports facilities
- Inadequate farm-to-market roads and irrigation facilities to some

areas;
- Unstable and expensive power supply;

2019-
ii. Social-Related
- Inadequate basic social services such as:
o Credit facilities /lack of capital for Small to Medium

Enterprises;
o Classrooms and school buildings;
o Expensive water supply and inadequate potable water
facilities;
o Prevalence of malnutrition;
o Unenthusiastic attitude of the people to adopt solid waste
management programs and activities
- Unemployment and poverty incidence.
iii. Economic-Related
- Low agricultural production due to:
o Low farm mechanizations; slow adoption of the people of

proven farming technologies and adherence of farmers to
traditional methods and practices of farming;
o High cost of agricultural inputs;
o Inadequate of post-harvest facilities.
- Turtle-pace Investment
o Lack of investors;
o Insufficient processing center/factories and appropriate
technologies;
o Inadequacy of restaurants including hotels and lodging inns;
o Lack of capital of SME’s.

2019-
- adequate commercial and business facilities appropriate for less

urbanized Municipalities
iv. Environment Sector
- Mismanaged solid wastes i.e. illegal dumping (in open areas, rivers,
etc), open burning, unsegregated wastes from generation sources,
lack of collection and disposal system
- Potential causes of water pollution i.e. indiscriminate washing of

vehicles and clothes in the river/s, throwing of garbage, among
others
- High susceptibility to flooding hazards especially in barangays

along the Cagayan River including its tributaries;
- Illegitimate titling of remaining forest;
- Soil erosion along river banks and siltation of water bodies;
- Susceptibility to Rain-induced landslides in undulating areas;
- Tropical storms regularly visit the locality affecting agricultural

production and damaging infrastructures and social lives.
G. Functional Role Of The Municipality
The Municipality of San Pablo in some way has a definite role and function in
relation to the province and especially to its adjacent Municipalities of Cabagan, Sta.
Maria and Maconacon, and with Tuguegaro City in the Province of Cagayan. They
are complementary and supportive to each other especially in agricultural activities.
San Pablo, having a vast tract of agricultural land, the Municipality
supplies/supplements nearby Municipalities with their crops and livestock
production which significantly contribute to the booming of agricultural industry
not just in the Province but in the Region as well.

2019-
San Pablo is considered as a medium town in the hierarchy of Municipalities

in the Province of Isabela. Nonetheless, with its strategic location, the Municipality
being adjacent to the city of Tuguegarao, has high potential for development due to
the fact that expanding urbanization would possibly happen anytime in the future
which already started as manifested by the presence of various commercial
establishments and industries near the boundaries of San Pablo and Tuguegarao
City. With this, the LGU has a very high chance of attracting possible investors that
would significantly contribute to the increase of revenues in the Municipality. San
Pablo shall eventually rise as a major contributing player to the commercial
development of the Province given its existing potentials (vast agricultural lands,
agro-industrialization, proximity to a major urban centers, etc.) and the local
government initiatives to convert the area into a secondary commerce and trade for
the Province.

2019-

1.2. General Goals and Objectives
The set of goals are imperative since they would serve as guide for the LGU
towards the achievement of sustainable development of the Municipality. In order to
attain the goals, specific objectives are set which would then form part of the
programs, projects and activities of the Municipality of San Pablo. The foregoing are
the set of goals and objectives of the Municipality towards achievement of economic
development, ensured environmental integrity and promotion of social equity. Also,
development thrusts are presented towards this end.
General Goals
1. A socio-economically advanced community;
2. A center for trade and commerce in the province;
3. A Climate-resilient, modernized, well-balanced environment and
diverse ecosystem;
4. A service-oriented, honest and dedicated governance;
5. An empowered, self -reliant and God-centered citizens;
6. Assure implementation of plan;
7. Provide efficient basic services and public utilities;
8. Use land efficiently.
Objectives
1. Conservation, preservation, protection and proper management of the
environment and the natural resources of the Municipality;
2. Increase agricultural and fishery production;
3. Pursuit of electrification;
4. People empowerment;
5. Capability building;

2019-
6. Good governance.
7. Provision of infra facilities supportive of economic and social growth for
the general welfare.
2. DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
3. Development Thrusts
Various development thrusts were identified leading towards the

growth of the municipality i.e. remaining in the traditional agricultural
industry, or to develop agro-industrialization, or to gear towards agro-
forestry development, or lastly, to develop to commercial industry.
Strategy 1 – Remain in the Traditional Agricultural Industry
If the current development pace will continue its natural course

without any intervention, the municipality will remain to be in the traditional
agricultural industry where people are content with their current crop
production activities for the mono-crop of palay, corn and some high value
commercial crop production e.g. cassava in specific areas.
This strategy is likely to happen because of the “do nothing approach”

where the development is to be influenced only by the municipality’s internal
strengths and weaknesses and its external opportunities and threats. The
scenarios that influence Strategy 1 are given below:
Scenario:
1) The presence of agricultural areas that are being utilized for crop
production;

2019-
2) The proven record that various crops like palay, corn, cassava, and
other crops can thrive in the area;
3) The suitability of the different soil types for the production of various
agricultural crops;
4) The presence of various bodies of water that can be tapped to irrigate
agricultural production areas;
5) The presence to the Bagsakan Center where the products can be
easily marketed.
Strategy 2 – Leading towards agro-industrialization
Scenario:
1. Producer of agricultural crops and livestock that can be used as raw

materials for agro-industrialization processing;
2. Proximity to major producers of raw materials;
3. Traversed by the Maharlika Highway that can be used as route to
transport processed products;
4. Proposed agro-industrial site is isolated from residential areas, hence,
causing no disturbance and pollution.
Major Interventions:
1) Identification of zone area to be designated as agro-industrial site;

2) Improvement of the electrification system of the proposed agro-
industrial site into a three-phase power;
3) Enhancement of communication facilities like telephone, cell phone
and radio communication systems;
4) Installation of potable water system (Level III) in designated agro-
industrial area;
5) Concreting of access road going to the agro-industrial site.

2019-
Strategy 3 – Towards developing the Agro-Forestry Industry

through Integration of Tree and Livestock Production
Due to the existing adaptability of production forests to be utilized for

some supplementary and complementary agricultural production activities,
the municipality’s sectoral development growth can lead towards this
direction. The compelling factors that will enable the municipality attain this
strategic development direction are the identified internal strengths and
external opportunities, described below:-
Scenario:
1) Available forested areas that can be partially converted into agro-

forestry use;
2) Presence of bodies of water that can support growth of trees, shrubs,
grasses and animals;
3) The existence of rich undergrowth in the forest areas that are suitable
for the pasture of livestock;
4) The complementary advantage of integrating trees with livestock that
will promote symbiotic relationship and ecological balance;
The likely major interventions to be implemented that will lead

towards this strategic direction are those that will address the identified
weaknesses and threats and will take advantage of any opportunities the
municipality may have:
1) The specific delineation of agro-forestry area, notwithstanding the

exception of protected areas, through the assistance of the DENR;
2) The lifting of the ban on intensive grazing or just the selective
implementation of Proclamation No. 537;

2019-
3) The intensification of DA program on livestock dispersal;

4) The conduct of intensive training on livestock raising as well as on
Artificial Insemination;
5) Establishment of livestock Auction Section in the Bagsakan Center.
Strategy 4 – Towards developing commercial industry leading to

become a secondary commercial center of the province
In conformity with the proposed spatial strategy of the province, this

direction can also be pursued because of the identified internal strengths and
external opportunities, described below:-
Scenario:
1) Currently being a “Bagsakan Center” of agricultural produce in the

province;
2) Having relatively flat terrain;
3) Being traversed by the national highway (Maharlika Highway);
4) Being centrally located in the province and accessible to major
agricultural crop-producing municipalities;
5) Abundance of transportation facilities (buses jeepneys) plying the
area;
6) Presence of telecommunication systems;
7) The municipality is developing toward commercialization.
1) Identification of zone areas to be designated as commercial growth

center;
2) Specific identification of site for the development of proposed
Agricultural Trading Center;

2019-
3) Enhancement of communication facilities like telephone and cell phone

and radio communications system;
4) Expansion and Improvement of Existing Level III Water System;
5) Construction of more flood control structures.

Spatial Strategies and Options
Evaluation of Alternative Spatial Strategies
The spatial development strategies for the Municipality should be

derived from the spatial strategies identified in the Provincial Physical
Framework Plan (PPFP) of the Province of Isabela for the Municipality to
contribute significantly to the over-all vision of the province.
The PPFP of Isabela indicates that the spatial strategy for San Pablo
in relation to the whole Province of Isabela is that for only a satellite town
contributing to the economic development of the Province. With new
developments, especially in the national and provincial road network system
where San Pablo will be much affected, this spatial strategy is for urbanized
development towards becoming a secondary commercial center of the
province. In this respect, the specific sectoral development direction of the
municipality will be pursued in a sector that will contribute more to the
economic development of the province through dispersed commercialization
functions. However, various alternative development strategies will also be
evaluated to determine the relative advantage of commercialization compared
with other sectoral growths. The matching tool used was the analytical
technique on identified goals of the municipality coupled with strengths and
opportunities resulting to the identification of the following alternative
spatial development strategies.

2019-
The Alternative Spatial Development Strategies
Considering the different important factors and the cost involved to

carry out programs for the desired interventions in tailoring the development
direction of the municipality and the maximum benefits that can be derived, a
number of alternative spatial development strategies were identified to
address the development thrust towards “Agro-industrialization; and
developing the Agro-Forestry Industry through Integration of Tree
and Livestock Production”. It is in this specific development strategy that
internal spatial planning within the municipality is necessary.

The Preferred Spatial Development Strategy
Based from the above assessment tool, the Linear/Nodal spatial development
approach having the highest acceptance factor of +8 is found most suitable for
enhancing the municipality’s potential for commerce and trade.
The Linear-Nodal spatial development having been appraised as the most

appropriate urban form focuses on the distribution of improved opportunities from
the urban area to their influence barangays.
The Linear component of the preferred strategy shall be confined only along
both sides of the National Road where commercial development is very evident
especially in barangays San Jose and Binguang.
The Nodal component will delineate growth centers that will provide greater
access to services and products to the identified satellite barangays which in turn
serve as the forces for agricultural development. Existing settlements in the different
barangays shall be maintained with their expansion to cover only immediate service
facilities at the barangay or sitio level. This strategy emphasizes traffic movements
for planned development of urban and satellite areas since volume of traffic shall
increase in roads that lead to growth centers. Hence, all road network connecting
the major center to the sub-growth center and its satellite barangays having critical
common resources should be in high quality condition to optimize their
interdependence with each other.
To conceptualize the selected urban form, the urban barangay (Poblacion)

composing the built-up and buildable areas will be the major growth center. The
major growth node shall provide the services and facilities at the municipal level and
shall serve as the major commercial business district (CBD). Aside from being the
CBD, the major growth node is also the seat of government affairs, center for
education, religious activities, sports and recreation, housing and industrial display
center. Meanwhile the minor growth centers shall provide secondary urban services
to its adjacent barangays.

2019-
Apart from being a growth node, barangay Binguang could serve as an urban
expansion of the Municipality as it is just adjacent to Poblacion, as there are
developments that are already in place. Planned Linear growth along Maharlika
Highway for commercial activities will also commence from Poblacion going north
traversing the Barangays of Binguang, San Jose, and Caralucud, and other
Barangays exhibiting commercial and industrial development along both sides of the
National road.
The proposed strategy, Linear-Nodal development, is a balanced effort to

disperse socio-economic growth to the entire Municipality and enable the
population to have equitable access to the different services, facilities and amenities
toward a better standard and quality of life and promote the general welfare of local
constituencies.

2019-
4. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT STRUCTURE
The concept plan contains the overall physical and development framework
of the Municipality to attain its vision, mission, goals and objectives.
This portion of the plan establishes the development thrusts and spatial
strategies which are critical in determining the future development of the
municipality. It explores various land use alternatives, proposes alternatives or
options and preferred thrusts and strategies which will guide in the preparation of
the land use plan.
From the result of the workshop conducted by the Technical Working Group
(TWG), one major center and two (2) sub-centers were identified. The major center
would be at the seat of the Town Hall which is the Poblacion area. For the first sub-
center is Barangay Ballacayu was identified, another sub-center covers the Barangay
Binguang.
This is the overall integration of all the sectoral studies prepared and
conducted with the participation of all the TWG and some CSO’s and members of
the Academe.

5. THE PROPOSED LAND USE PLAN
The proposed land use plan presents the detailed configuration of the
proposed general and urban components of the land use plan of San Pablo based on
the Municipality’s development vision, mission, goals and objectives, sectoral
requirements and selected spatial strategy. The General Land use Plan presents the
broad land uses for the entire Municipality while the Urban Land Use Plan focuses
on the specific uses of the designated major urban area.
General Land Use Plan
1. Agricultural
Agricultural land is the second largest area on the overall land

uses within the Municipality Annual Crop capture an aggregation of
16,404.40 hectares. Meanwhile, perennial crop has a total area of 389.07
hectares. These lands are used as crop production for rice, corn, and
vegetables, as the primary economic activity of the people of San Pablo.

logging, wildlife poaching, among others are usually recorded in these
7. Shrub land
A total of 2475.99 hectares was classified as shrub land which

represents a percent share of about 2.88 percent from the total land area
of the Municipality.

2019-
Urban Land Use Plan
At present, the major urban area comprises only one Barangay which
is Poblacion. The Poblacion shall be delineated with the following specific
uses:
1. Residential Use
Poblacion shall retain the existing areas for the residential land
use but shall be expanding peripheral areas of the urban core towards
agricultural lands to accommodate shelter for future households. An
increase of about five (5) hectares over the existing residential land use
increment is delineated within the Poblacion area.
2. Commercial Use
Commercial land use spilling over residential use in close

proximity shall be allowed at a 70%-30% mixed use. Also delineated is a
100 meter strip on both sides of the Maharlika Highway is considered for
commercial development. Nodal development along Provincial/Barangay
road is also delineated for this purpose.
3. Institutional Use
Institutional uses of which government centers, schools,

healthcare institutions shall maintain their areas or may proceed for
expansion but not to exceed at 10 percent increase.
4. Agricultural Use
An increase in the agricultural areas shall also be expected as there is

increase in population, there must be an increase in agricultural
production as well to ensure self-sustaining provision of future demands.

2019-
About 12 hectares is the increase in the area intended for agricultural

purposes.
5. Parks and Open Spaces
Since green spaces do good things for communities, a Green

Belt is expected to be established within the Poblacion area.
6. Multiple-use Forest
The areas used to be open/grassland in the existing urban land use shall be
converted into multiple-use forest. Multiple-use forest could be used for production
forest, agro-forestry, grazing, industrial tree plantation, among others.

 Environmental impact rather than potential revenue shall be the
primary consideration in granting permits for small-scale mining
and quarrying.
 Tourism projects shall be evaluated equally for their income
generation potential as for the environmental degradation,
displacement of local residents and moral corruption that usually
accompany these projects.
 Protected Areas:
 Liberal allocation of open space in heavily populated areas shall be

used as a vulnerability-reduction measure.
 Encourage maintenance of greenery in public and private lots not
only for amenity but for its carbon sequestration function.
